Hand Over the True Dragon Nine Crowns

Blue-violet radiance flickered across his body.

The tall, imposing Yu Yuanzhen began to distort beneath the blue-violet glow.

"Roar—"

A dragon roar rang out as a thirty-meter-tall Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon appeared in midair.

The Origin Divine Fist crashed fiercely into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's chest.

Boom!

The explosion thundered as energy waves surged.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's chest was blasted open, countless dragon scales turning to dust on the spot.

Bright dragon blood poured from the wound.

Yu Yuanzhen felt as though his internal organs had been displaced. He frantically mobilized the power of lightning, wrapping it around every inch of his body.

Yet the fierce fist force continued to pour forth madly.

"Damn it!"

Among the circling soul rings, a black soul ring lit up.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon opened its massive jaws, and a dragon roar erupted from within.

Wave after wave of sound spread outward, contending against the fist force.

Sixth Soul Skill—Heaven-Breaking Dragon Roar!

The sound waves in the air rolled and exploded, every sonic boom carrying Dragon Might.

"Yu Yuanzhen, take this!"

A thunderous shout came from above. At some point, Shen Tianyu had already reached beneath Yu Yuanzhen.

His body plunged rapidly downward, landing astride the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's head.

His hands seized a dragon horn each as Giant Elephant Particles erupted.

Crack! Crack!

"Roar!!!"

A mournful dragon cry shook the heavens as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon twisted its body frantically.

Lightning blanketed its head, striking Shen Tianyu's body like mad.

Grasping the pair of dragon horns, Shen Tianyu rose into the air.

With a slight exertion of both hands, the dragon horns shattered on the spot.

"Kid! You will pay for today's evil deeds with your life!"

The Eighth Soul Ring lit up directly, blue-violet Soul Power transforming into lightning that shot into the sky.

A massive blue thundercloud formed directly above them.

Crackling lightning arcs flowed within the thundercloud.

The dragon roar turned furious. Its huge body shot upward and vanished into the thundercloud.

"Eighth Soul Skill!"

"Dragon Soaring Heavenly Thunder Blast!"

Shh!

Streams of lightning arcs burst forth from the thundercloud and descended.

Every bolt of lightning transformed into a thunder dragon as it fell.

For a moment, it was as though ten thousand dragons rode the lightning down from the nine heavens to slaughter the mortal world.

Facing Yu Yuanzhen's attack, Shen Tianyu watched with Cold Eyes.

Five Fingers clenched into a fist and swung forward.

Above the nine mountains, the Great Dao collapsed!

Progenitor Saint Fist, World-Shaking Three Moves!

First Fist, Great Dao Decay!

The instant this fist was unleashed, the power of the Great Dao around the nine mountains decayed and dissolved.

It transformed into energy and merged into Shen Tianyu's fist.

He charged upward with his fist, decay power blooming from the sharp fist force.

Thunder dragons after thunder dragons vanished into smoke.

The purgatory formed from endless lightning was utterly insignificant before this fist.

The decay power rushed toward him, making Yu Yuanzhen, hidden within the thundercloud, tremble inwardly.

The aura of death pressed closer step by step.

"Not good!"

Soul Power immediately circulated as the dragon claw on his right arm reached into space.

Space tore open into a fissure. Yu Yuanzhen, transformed into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, plunged headfirst into it.

Just as his dragon tail disappeared into space, Shen Tianyu's fist arrived.

His fist struck the thundercloud, which instantly exploded. The immense decay power dissolved all the lightning.

"A spatial soul skill? Is it a soul bone?"

Above True Dragon Mountain, space tore open into a rift, and Yu Yuanzhen flew out from within.

The Soul Power around the dragon claw on his right arm dispersed, its glow dimming.

It seemed he had guessed right—it was indeed a soul bone skill.

Having escaped death, Yu Yuanzhen was still shaken.

When that fist had come at him, he had clearly felt his heart stop abruptly.

This was the death perception possessed by a Titled Douluo.

At the critical moment, he had decisively used this life-saving spatial soul skill.

"You're quite lucky, but can you still block the second fist?

Young Master is determined to take your old life today!"

In midair, the enormous Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon stared at Shen Tianyu.

Fear was clearly visible in its Vertical Pupils.

However, Yu Yuanzhen quickly steadied himself.

"You want Old Man's life? Then use your own life to accompany me in death!"

"What arrogance!"

Standing with his hands behind his back, Shen Tianyu spoke indifferently.

"At this point in the battle, who lives and who dies has already become clear!

Yu Yuanzhen, who gave you the courage to spout such nonsense about making me accompany you in death?"

"Hahahaha!"

Yu Yuanzhen threw back his head and laughed, releasing his Martial Soul Avatar state.

"You don't understand. This is a dragon's pride. Throughout the world, dragons are the supreme beasts!

You are indeed stronger than me, but my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has stood firm upon the continent.

As the number one beast martial soul in the world and one of the Upper Three Sects, how could we possibly lack any foundation?"

As he spoke, Killing intent gathered in his Eyes.

A thread of Soul Power flowed into a ring on his finger.

"Nine Dragon Offspring, coiling around nine mountains! Every mountain bears a crown, nine returning to one!"

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Nine explosions erupted in succession.

A fissure burst open atop each of the nine mountains.

Nine soul bones rapidly gathered toward Yu Yuanzhen.

Eight of these nine soul bones were incomplete fragments.

Only the head soul bone that flew out from True Dragon Mountain was complete.

"True Dragon Nine Crowns! Snow Jade Crown!"

Shen Tianyu spoke. He had come to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan precisely for the True Dragon Nine Crowns.

Legend had it that the True Dragon Nine Crowns were bones left behind after an ancient Dragon King's death.

The energy contained within them was terrifying.

If Yu Yuanzhen absorbed them, he could directly raise his final three soul rings to ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine years.

The color of the soul rings would also change from black to pale red.

If he could absorb the most complete Snow Jade Crown, then without question, his final three soul rings would reach one hundred thousand years.

Unfortunately, the Snow Jade Crown had harsh absorption requirements. The mere fact that Yu Yuanzhen lacked a head soul bone was enough to prevent him from absorbing it.

"You know about the True Dragon Nine Crowns!"

Yu Yuanzhen was greatly shocked upon hearing Shen Tianyu speak.

The True Dragon Nine Crowns were a secret of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Only each generation's clan leader knew of them and possessed the key to unlock them.

Yu Yuanzhen began calculating inwardly. Since his opponent knew this secret, he had undoubtedly come for the True Dragon Nine Crowns.

"Thank you for summoning the True Dragon Nine Crowns. This battle can end now!"

After playing with Yu Yuanzhen for so long, it was time to stop.

"You want to steal the True Dragon Nine Crowns? Wishful thinking!"

Yu Yuanzhen reacted immediately and mobilized Spiritual Energy, intending to absorb the eight fragments at once.

"Too late!"

Great Teleportation Technique!

One step, and he arrived instantly.

With a sweep of his hand, Spiritual Energy rapidly enveloped the True Dragon Nine Crowns.

"Hand over the True Dragon Nine Crowns!"

Shh!

Yu Yuanzhen's Soul Power was directly brushed aside by the Spiritual Energy.

The True Dragon Nine Crowns fell into Shen Tianyu's hands and were swiftly stored in the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch.

"You!!!"

Yu Yuanzhen flew into a rage, too furious to speak.

"Fine, fine, fine! Then we'll go to hell together!"

The Seventh Soul Skill lit up, and his Martial Soul Avatar was unleashed.

Soul Power gathered, his form twisted, and he transformed into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon once more.

All his soul rings flashed in succession. Lightning burst from his body, sweeping across the nine mountains and completely enveloping Shen Tianyu.

Finally, all of his Soul Power poured into the Ninth Soul Ring.

In an instant, Yu Yuanzhen soared into the clouds.

Eight massive bolts of lightning descended from the sky, sealing off Shen Tianyu's eight directions.

The final bolt of lightning coiled above Shen Tianyu's head.

"When a true dragon rages, its roar shakes the nine heavens!"
