Looking at the executioner who had instantly killed the Three Greats Dragon Kings not far away, Dao Kong was filled with rage, but he remained rooted to the spot, refusing to make a move. He knew very well that although he was the strongest, he was only a few times stronger than the Three Greats Dragon Kings. Judging from Lin Hui's attack just now, it would have been impossible to kill the Three Greats Dragon Kings so easily and effortlessly unless there was a difference of dozens of times in strength.
"Why not continue?" Lin Hui had just personally used his Immortal Fire to decompose, devour, and absorb the opponent's dragon breath. He was watching as the ninth lifeline on Dao Kong's body was faintly appearing, but the opponent stopped making a move.
He immediately spoke up to ask.
"Are you afraid? Or..."
Before he could finish speaking, his expression froze, and Dao Kong vanished from his sight.
The other party vanished right under his nose using some special method!?
Lin Hui scanned the entire surrounding hall with his mind, confirming that the outer sealing formation had not been destroyed or shown to have been activated, but Dao Kong had completely disappeared.
They abandoned everything and simply vanished into thin air!
Not only him, Indoma and Zhuo Xinghai also looked at each other, recovering from the shock they had just felt at Lin Hui's strength.
"Let's go." Lin Hui didn't press the matter further. "It's time to leave."
"Leave? Now that everything is settled, why don't we...?" Indoma asked softly. But he stopped before he could finish. Clearly, he had already guessed the reason.
Zhuo Xinghai said nothing, but clasped his hands in a deep bow to Lin Hui.
"Thank you very much for your help, sir!"
"There's no need for that," Lin Hui said with a sincere smile. "I've always felt that, given your character, if our positions were reversed, you would definitely come to my rescue as well."
... Zhuo Xinghai paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded earnestly.
"That's true." He said sincerely.
Qi Dong stood right behind him, watching this scene with admiration, clearly moved by the sincerity between the two.
Only Indoma, standing to the side, subconsciously recalled his Star-Stealing Bandit Gang, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.
He couldn't tell whether Lin Hui was pretending or if he truly thought that way.
But the more this was the case, the more terrifying Lin Hui seemed to him.
Unpredictable, his view of external things is sometimes attentive, sometimes indifferent... Apart from the Seven Extinctions, which he is certain cares about, everything else seems to be of no concern to him.
Looking at the sincere smile on Lin Hui's face, his previous assessment of him wavered slightly.
The group flew out of the main hall at lightning speed, rescued the imprisoned Pioneers dragons, and left the Dragon Court together in just a few minutes.
From this moment on, the Pioneers officially took over the entire upper echelons of the Dragon Court.
But they didn't linger. Instead, they quickly persuaded the Star Sea Dragon King and the Dragon King Shen Yang to begin a large-scale migration of their clans, leaving the Dragon Court. Just like the problem with Indoma before, why didn't they directly and completely change the current situation of the Dragon Court?
The biggest reason, and the reason that no one has truly spoken aloud, is the Remnant Heart Ancestral Dragon.
Lin Hui had already determined through extensive research and intelligence gathering that the current Dragon Court structure was actually a system meticulously constructed by the Remnant Heart Ancestral Dragon to benefit himself.
In other words, the core of this system is actually that Ancestral Dragon.
As long as that Ancestral Dragon is still alive, the current situation of the Dragon Court cannot be changed.
An hour later, the two dragon clans and the Pioneers, along with their families, flew away from the Dragon Court completely.
Having been around for so many years, the Pioneers had naturally prepared for this kind of situation long ago. They had also thought about what they should do if they completely broke away from the Dragon Court and fell out with the upper echelons.
Therefore, they had already quietly found a small world and built it as a substitute home.
At this moment, in the Black Domain void.
Facing the vast Dragon Court Realm in the distance, Lin Hui, Indoma, and Zhuo Xinghai remained floating, gazing at the newly emerged realm. "Why not kill the Void-Thieving Dragon King?" Indoma asked softly.
"Actually, my true strength isn't that great. If he wants to leave, I can't stop him," Lin Hui said with a smile.
Indoma had believed this before, but now...
He chose to pretend he didn't hear it.
"It was Zu Long who made the move," Zhuo Xinghai said from the side. "I've seen that kind of bizarre disappearance before, when my father and the others were summoned by Zu Long. So Mr. Hui's decision to leave immediately was the right one."
The Ancestral Dragon... the Remnant Heart Ancestral Dragon... This ancient powerhouse, who fell into seclusion and slumber after his battle with the Endless Divine Clan, what was his true strength? Now, so many years have passed, and no one knows.
Lin Hui gathered all the information he could about it, but it was all pitifully little.
This person has appeared in public very few times.
But even if he were arrogant, he wouldn't underestimate a top-tier powerhouse who had lived for at least tens of millions of years.
"Alright, now that we've completely separated, there's no need to discuss these things anymore. The internal reforms of the Dragon Court still need to be worked on. We've only temporarily moved from the shadows to the light, gaining the qualification to officially establish ourselves," Zhuo Xinghai sighed. "Also, sir, what do you intend to do with that twenty-fourth princess, Boxiweiya?" Boxiweiya was ultimately abandoned by her father and nearly died from his dragon breath. After falling into fear and panic, she has now completely collapsed.
After all, this is the interstellar age, an environment of information overload. At her age, she is already mentally mature and knows everything she needs to know.
Now that she has lost everything, she has also lost her purpose in living.
"She's a good child..." Lin Hui sighed. "As fellow dragons, take her with you and train her well; she might become a formidable fighter in the future." He looked at Zhuo Xinghai.
The latter nodded.
"Oh, right, this is the extra Dragon Horn Shedding I looted before leaving, as you instructed." Zhuo Xinghai tossed out another black spatial ring. Lin Hui caught it, glanced at its contents, and a smile immediately appeared on his lips.
As expected of the Dragon King Hall's stockpile, he had already temporarily plundered the rest of the place, but the Dragon King Hall still had a batch of top-quality goods stored up. Dragons are inherently driven by strong desires, so these kinds of toys were naturally quite popular in the Dragon King Hall. Among them were even some extremely old items that had been used for many years. Looking at the Dragon Horn Shedding on this ring, Lin Hui knew that it could evolve into another good item.
Now he's learned his lesson. He accumulates enough Existence Force before choosing to evolve, which keeps the Blood Seal free to the maximum extent possible, so it won't be occupied when he needs to use the identification function.
Aside from that, the situation has changed drastically this time, and the Pioneers ' Time String has also shifted dramatically, expanding considerably.
Although we are still far from overthrowing the Remnant Heart Ancestral Dragon, at least now that things have turned to the light, we can barely see a glimmer of hope.
By absorbing the power of the Time String from this large group of Pioneers, Lin Hui's fifth level of sword technique is also progressing rapidly.
If I can digest this gain in a few months, and do the same thing again when I go to Swallow Fort next time, I should be able to truly step into the sixth level. By then, my sword technique will have reached its limit, and the power levels of the Three Greats matriarchs may have also increased significantly.
The moment they too quickly become materialistic will be the moment he truly steps into the Seventh Ring.
Moreover, given the domineering nature of this sword technique, once he steps into the seventh ring, his strength will undoubtedly leap to the top tier among the seventh ring. After parting ways with the two, Lin Hui went back to comfort the Three Greats matriarchs, confirming that they had successfully broken through to the sixth ring. He couldn't help but be shocked by the exaggerated speed of the Nether Seed.
This method of accelerating the parasite's energy level at all costs is almost as short as taking a nap for a powerful being with a lifespan of millions of years. When they wake up, they find that the ant they once were has suddenly evolved into an existence similar to themselves.
This sense of dread is unprecedented.
After calculating the approximate time it would take to break through to the seventh ring, Lin Hui went to the Nine Heavens Gate to pay his respects to his teacher, Seven Extinctions.
Finally, he returned to the second level of the Heart Source Demon Palace to continue his cultivation.
After this evolution, he plans to launch another operation against Swallow Fort.
After all, slowly collecting treasures is nowhere near as quick as rushing into the treasure vault and grabbing it.
Dragon Court, a strange little space located above the Nest Gate, yet undiscovered by all dragons.
Inside the pitch-black hall.
On the towering black throne sat a colossal black shadow with a dragon's head and a human body.
Although the giant shadow was sitting, its upper body alone was over ten meters tall.
He held a black scepter, gazing down at the kneeling Void-Thieving Dragon King.
"This is the answer sheet you've given me? Dao Kong?"
"Dragon Ancestor... I can still fight, why won't you let me stay?!" Dao Kong gritted his teeth and raised his head to ask.
"If I were any slower, you would die, believe it or not?" Remnant Heart Ancestral Dragon said coldly.
... Dao Kong actually had a premonition at the time, but it wasn't obvious and was suppressed by anger. Now that it was pointed out, a trace of fear welled up in his heart.
"But even if I die and take a different identity, I still..."
"The other side is also Fusionist. They know better than you, or even me, what it looks like when Fusionist dies. At this close range, you can't fool them," Zu Long said calmly.
Dao Kong silent.
In fact, within the Three Greats races, there are more or less hidden Calamity Fusion Faction.
For many people whose strength is insufficient to improve, whose lifespan is nearing its end, or who are severely injured, joining the calamity and becoming a member of the Fusion Faction is a path they do not reject.
Selfish people, in pursuit of their own gain, will not care about their fellow countrymen, kinsmen, or compatriots.
"Be careful, and try to minimize your involvement. I'll discuss Lin Hui with Lan Wuji. This guy's appearance is too strange. At first, I thought he was just backed by the Nine Heavens Gate, so I didn't pay much attention. But later, I unexpectedly discovered that the karma surrounding him is terrifyingly complex, far beyond what the Nine Heavens Gate can handle. This man is a giant bomb. Stay away from him as much as possible," Remnant Heart Ancestral Dragon instructed.
"Yes, I understand..." Dao Kong was somewhat unwilling, but since Zu Long had said so, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief while feeling unwilling.
After all, no one wants to face again that monster who strolled leisurely, charging straight into the Dragon Court's headquarters and annihilating everything in his path.
Inside the Heart Source Demon Palace.
Lin Hui sat down cross-legged, examining the parts of himself that still needed to evolve.
"The sword technique is no longer needed for the time being; its destructive power is sufficient. Further levels would be too difficult to master if the energy level couldn't be increased. Moreover, the Unfinished Final Scene Sword Technique is already powerful enough, and the cost of further evolution would be too high, making it not worthwhile. Therefore, the sword technique will be temporarily abandoned."
"Secondly, regarding energy level evolution, the progress on the Nether Seed side is incredibly rapid. Three Fusionist at the entry-level of the fifth ring have actually broken through to the sixth ring in just a few months... This speed can only be achieved by burning everything for a breakthrough... It's not advisable to act rashly for now. If the Nether Seed becomes ineffective after the evolution of the technique, all the previous plans will be rendered useless, and it would be a complete waste of time. Therefore, there's no need to move on the Wandering Convergence Seal side either."
Since neither of the two most important aspects required evolution for the time being, Lin Hui then focused his attention on the Sun-Eating Sword at his waist.
"This guy's traits are too obvious, and he's not very obedient... Now that he has enough Existence Force, it's perfect to throw him into the Blood Seal for a cleansing, transforming him and increasing his power, while making him more responsive to our commands—that's the key."
It would be best to evolve away the features of the Sun-Eating Sword related to the Ever-Burning Contemplation, so as to avoid being recognized by enemies in the future.
This is what Lin Hui wanted.
This sword is indeed very powerful. A single swing with bare hands can unleash the maximum power of a sixth-ring sword. With a little wind Wind Energy added, it can reach the seventh ring, an extremely exaggerated increase.
However, the drawbacks are also obvious.
