Fury of the Tyrant Dragon

Dragon City, within the Main Hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan estate.

Yu Yuanchen's brief yet harrowing account was like a boulder thrown into a deep pool, stirring monstrous waves in Yu Boxuan's heart. Rage, lingering fear, pride, heartache... all those emotions finally condensed into an almost tangible, icy killing intent that spread through the hall.

"Long Family... those Black Flame Demonic Dragons have some nerve! They dared ambush my direct grandson and besiege the pillars of my clan!" Yu Boxuan's voice was low, yet it carried the terrifying pressure of an approaching storm. The air in the entire Main Hall seemed to freeze. "If I do not avenge this, then I, Yu Boxuan, am unworthy of being Patriarch! What face would the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have left to stand in this world?"

He abruptly rose to his feet. His burly frame seemed to grow even taller in an instant, and a trace of a Titled Douluo's Vast Aura leaked out uncontrollably, making even the lamps in the hall flicker.

"Chen'er, you did very well! Calm in danger, decisive and brave—and even more commendably, cautious!" Yu Boxuan looked at his still-pale grandson, his eyes full of admiration. "Go rest and treat your injuries. Leave what comes next to your Grandfather!"

"Grandfather!" Yu Yuanchen forced himself upright, his voice urgent. "Second Grandfather and the two Elders are still missing, their lives uncertain. Your grandson begs you..."

"Say no more!" Yu Boxuan cut him off, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Your injuries have not healed, and your Soul Power is depleted. Following us now would not help; you would only become a burden. Rest assured, your Grandfather will personally bring them home!"

Before his words had faded, Yu Boxuan had turned into a streak of blue light and shot out of the Main Hall. His commanding voice rolled like thunder across the entire clan estate:

"All Soul Douluo-level Elders, gather in the Council Hall immediately! The clan is entering its highest state of readiness! Without my command, no one is to leave Dragon City!"

The instant the order was issued, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan began operating like a colossal war machine. Powerful auras rose from every direction and swiftly converged on the Council Hall. Above the estate, faint blue arcs of lightning wove themselves into a net, radiating a palpitating fluctuation.

Moments later, three figures followed close behind Yu Boxuan. Like four arrows leaving the bow, carrying soaring killing intent and urgency, they silently departed Dragon City and streaked toward the Thunder Mountain Range. All four were peak Soul Douluo Elders whose strength was second only to Yu Boxuan's within the clan. One of them possessed a top-tier healing Weapon Soul, the Staff of Life, in preparation for any emergency.

The five top experts released their speed without reservation. Wherever they passed, clouds parted, while the soul beasts in the mountains and forests cowered and trembled.

Meanwhile, near the Rocky Forest in the Thunder Mountain Range where Yu Yuanchen had previously broken through the encirclement.

The traces of battle were shocking: charred earth, shattered boulders, and the lingering violent Soul Power and faint scent of blood in the air all spoke of the brutality of the previous fight.

Long Li was still slumped beside the dried-up riverbed, his face deathly pale. His legs were twisted at unnatural angles, his knees charred black. Tiny arcs of electricity occasionally leaped from them, bringing waves of spasmodic agony. He had tried several times, but he could not use Soul Power to forcibly reconnect the bones and meridians destroyed by that strange Purple-Gold Lightning. His hatred for Yu Yuanchen had already surged to the heavens.

The Rock Turtle Soul Emperor and the lightly injured Gale Wolf Soul Emperor stood guard nearby, their expressions equally grim. They had tried to track Yu Yuanchen, but that Kid had seemed to vanish from the world. With Long Li critically wounded and needing care, they could only wait here for reinforcements from the family.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!" Long Li growled hoarsely, his eyes bloodshot. "You couldn't even take down a mere Soul Ancestor Kid, and you let him cripple both my legs! If this gets back to the family, what face will any of us have left?"

The Rock Turtle Soul Emperor and Gale Wolf Soul Emperor lowered their heads, not daring to argue. They were also suffocating with frustration. That Kid's methods had been far too strange. His explosive speed in that instant and his Timing Control were nothing like those of a youngster who had only just entered the Soul Ancestor rank.

Just then, several powerful auras came from the distant horizon, moving at astonishing speed.

Long Li and the others were initially startled, but then they sensed the familiar chill and searing heat within those auras, and they were instantly overjoyed.

"It's the Patriarch! The Patriarch has come himself!" the Gale Wolf Soul Emperor said excitedly.

Before his words fell, eight figures had already descended. The leader wore a dark crimson robe. His features bore some resemblance to Long Li's, but his expression was far more sinister. Black flames seemed to burn in his eyes whenever they opened and closed, and the aura around him had clearly reached level ninety-five! He was Long Xiao, the current Patriarch of the Black Flame Demon Flood Dragon Family!

Behind him followed two lightly injured Soul Douluos and five heavily wounded Soul Sages—the very seven men who had besieged Yu Bo Yu's group of three. Though Yu Bo Yu's group had fought seven against three, the strength of their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Souls meant their lives had never truly been in danger. After three days of battle, they had not only killed the three Soul Emperors, but also escaped after driving back their enemies at the cost of severe injuries. When Long Xiao arrived, he could only swallow the loss, since their primary target had been Yu Yuanchen, that Genius.

Long Xiao swept his gaze across the area and instantly took in the entire situation. When he saw Long Li's ruined legs, the black flames in his eyes abruptly flared, and the temperature of the surrounding air soared.

"What happened? Where is that Kid?" Long Xiao's voice was cold and piercing, filled with suppressed fury.

Enduring the agony, Long Li rapidly recounted everything with shame and rage, focusing on Yu Yuanchen's strange burst of speed, his formidable attacks, and the Purple-Gold Lightning that had crippled his legs at the end—a lightning that carried a faintly divine aura.

"A Millennium Second Ring, a Ten Thousand Year Fourth Ring, and Purple-Gold Lightning?" Long Xiao frowned deeply, a flash of killing intent appearing in his eyes. He knew all too well just how terrifying Yu Yuanchen's talent was, having achieved such a series of accomplishments. If he were allowed to grow, the Long Family would never know peace again.

Cold light flickered in Long Xiao's eyes, but he suddenly looked toward Dragon City, and his expression changed drastically!

"Not good! That old bastard Yu Boxuan is coming! He's so fast!"

Almost at the same moment, a terrifyingly vast and overbearing aura crushed down from afar like Heavenly Might, accompanied by a furious roar that shook the mountains:

"Long Xiao! You dared touch my grandson and harm my clansmen! Give me your life!"

Before the voice faded, four blue figures had appeared on the horizon, charging forward with a speed beyond the eye's ability to follow! At their head was Yu Boxuan, his hair and beard flaring wildly, thick blue Electric Pythons coiling around his body as though the Thunder God had descended to the world!

From afar, he had already seen the scene below. Not seeing Yu Bo Yu and the others eased his mind somewhat, but the sight of Long Xiao's group, the obvious battle scars, and Long Li's miserable state let him foresee how brutal the battle had been. Towering rage instantly ignited his Soul Power!

Ninth Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Descends!

Yu Boxuan did not waste a single word. The moment he attacked, he unleashed his strongest Ninth Soul Skill! Behind him, a massive Dragon Shadow formed entirely from deep-blue lightning soared into the sky. Destruction gleamed within its Dragon Eyes as it descended upon Long Xiao's group with the force to tear apart the heavens!

This attack covered an enormous area and possessed enough power to shift mountains and fill seas!

"Yu Boxuan! Have you gone mad?!" Long Xiao was shocked and enraged. He had not expected his opponent to unleash an ultimate killing move without a word. He did not dare be careless in the slightest. All Nine Soul Rings around him blazed simultaneously, especially the final black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, which shone with dazzling brilliance!

Ninth Soul Skill, Flood Dragon Burns Heaven!

A gigantic demonic flood dragon phantom wreathed in pitch-black flames emerged behind him, roaring as it charged toward the diving thunder dragon!

BOOM—!!!

Blue lightning and black flames, two ultimate powers, collided violently in midair!

An explosion like the birth of heaven and earth erupted. Blinding radiance made even the sun pale, while a terrifying ring-shaped shockwave abruptly spread outward. The earth below was savagely gouged by an invisible giant plow, and the Rocky Forest was instantly leveled. Trees that stood too close were vaporized outright!

The five injured Soul Sages, Long Li, and the other two were struck by the terrifying shockwave and sent flying while coughing blood. Those with weaker Cultivation Levels suffered shattered tendons and broken bones!

The aftermath of the collision alone was this powerful!

When the light faded, the scene became visible once more. Yu Boxuan floated in midair, lightning still blazing around him, though his aura was slightly disordered. Long Xiao, however, had been forced back dozens of meters. His face was flushed, and the black flames around him flickered unsteadily. Clearly, he had suffered a small loss in that direct clash. After all, his Cultivation Level was one rank lower than Yu Boxuan's.

"Yu Boxuan! Are you going to wage an All-out War with my Long Family over a junior?!" Long Xiao shouted sharply, trying to use the larger situation to pressure him.

"War? From the moment you ambushed my grandson, the war had already begun!" Yu Boxuan's voice was ice-cold, his killing intent awe-inspiring. "Today, I'll collect some interest first! None of you are leaving!"

His gaze swept over the four Soul Sages who had just climbed back up and the critically wounded Long Li, without the slightest trace of mercy in his eyes.

"Move! Kill them!" Yu Boxuan ordered the four Elders behind him.

"Yes, Patriarch!"

The four Soul Douluo Elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had long been unable to hold themselves back. At his command, three immediately used Martial Soul Possession and pounced like three bolts of Blue Lightning toward the two Soul Douluos and five heavily wounded Soul Sages! The remaining Elder released his Staff of Life Martial Soul to provide healing for the others.

"You dare!" Long Xiao roared furiously, wanting to stop them, but Yu Boxuan's Qi locked onto him tightly. "Your opponent is me!"

Yu Boxuan snorted, and the Eighth Soul Ring beneath him lit up. Eighth Soul Skill, Tyrannical Thunder Domain!

Centered on him, the area within a thousand meters instantly transformed into a blue Thunder Domain! Violent lightning particles filled the air, continuously striking and numbing the enemies within the domain while greatly enhancing the lightning-attribute attacks of his own side!

Long Xiao immediately felt his body grow sluggish, and even the black flames around him were suppressed. He had no choice but to circulate his Soul Power with all his might to resist the domain's force.

Below, the battle was nearly a one-sided slaughter!

Empowered by the Tyrannical Thunder Domain, the Soul Douluo Elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were like tigers given wings. Two fought the enemy Soul Douluos, while the third faced all five Soul Sages. A Soul Douluo was already far stronger than a Soul Sage, and with every opponent heavily injured, not one of them could withstand even a single exchange.

Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!

Sixth Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Roar!

Fifth Soul Skill, Grasp of Lightning!

The enormous Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon True Body roared, thunder dragons ran rampant, and gigantic lightning claws seized their prey... all kinds of powerful Soul Skills flashed across the battlefield.

The five Soul Sages of the Black Flame Demon Flood Dragon Family fought desperately, unleashing black flame Soul Skills one after another. But in their heavily wounded state, their defenses were torn apart as easily as paper.

In just a few short moments, piercing screams rang out one after another.

One Soul Sage was pierced through the chest by a thunder dragon, and his charred corpse collapsed to the ground.

One Soul Sage had his head crushed by a gigantic lightning claw.

One Soul Sage was struck by countless bolts of lightning falling from the sky and turned into charcoal.

One Soul Sage died when a Dragon Claw pierced through his chest.

The final Soul Sage tried to escape using his speed, but an Elder caught up to him. A Thunder Spear condensed to its utmost limit pierced through his back and emerged from his chest, killing him on the spot!

All five Soul Sages were wiped out!

Long Li and the other two Soul Emperors had already been at death's door after the previous shockwave. Now, faced with the bloodthirsty Soul Douluo Elders, they could not even mount a proper resistance and were blasted into fragments by casually unleashed lightning. Only the two lightly injured Soul Douluos survived, though their injuries worsened and they could barely preserve their lives.

In the blink of an eye, the five Soul Sages Long Xiao had brought, along with the three surviving Soul Emperors—a total of eight people—had all fallen here! Blood dyed the charred ground red, and the air was thick with the stench of blood and burnt flesh.

"Yu! Bo! Xuan!" Long Xiao watched helplessly as the family's elite were slaughtered. His eyes instantly turned crimson as though dripping blood, while the black flames around him surged wildly, nearly breaking through the suppression of the Tyrannical Thunder Domain. "My Long Family will never rest until you are dead!!"

"Hmph! Come at me, then!" Yu Boxuan hovered in the center of the Thunder Domain like a god who commanded lightning, coldly watching the crazed Long Xiao. "I'll spare your worthless life today so you can tell them this blood debt has only just begun! Get lost!"

He knew that this was not the best time to fight Long Xiao to the death. Finding Yu Bo Yu and the other two was the urgent priority.

Long Xiao's chest heaved violently. He stared fixedly at Yu Boxuan, then looked down at the mangled corpses below. At last, he squeezed out several words through clenched teeth. "Fine! Fine! Yu Boxuan, just you wait!"

He knew that if he remained any longer, he would gain no advantage. He might even follow those Soul Sages into death. He gave Yu Boxuan a venomous glare, then transformed into a streak of black flame. Taking the two critically wounded Soul Douluos with him, he broke through the Thunder Domain and fled miserably toward his family.

Yu Boxuan did not pursue. He dispersed his Soul Skill, landed on the ground, and said gravely to the three Elders, "Quick! Split up and search! We must find Boyu and the two Elders!"

"Yes!"

The four experts immediately scattered. Their powerful Spiritual Power spread like spilled mercury as they carefully searched every inch of the area.

The Fury of the Tyrant Dragon had begun to reveal its might. This battle at the edge of the Thunder Mountain Range was like a signal, announcing that the fragile balance maintained for centuries between the two top beast Martial Soul families of the southeastern Heaven Dou Empire had been utterly shattered. The undercurrents were about to become Raging Waves.
