I thought this storm had come to an end, yet Tang Yu had no intention of letting it go at that.
He turned his head slowly, his eyes deep as an abyss, sweeping past the dense crowd until they landed precisely on Yu Yuanzhen, the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family.
The atmosphere in the entire plaza grew stifling once more.
Tang Yu smoothed his sleeves, his voice calm yet carrying a bone-chilling sense of oppression:
"The floor of this Prince's Wuyang Mansion is not something that can be stained by the blood of just any trash."
"Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen, don't you think you owe this Prince an explanation?"
As these words fell, the entire assembly was shocked.
No one had expected that after punishing Yu Xiaogang, Tang Yu would actually aim his spearhead at Yu Yuanzhen.
This was the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family.
A super Dou Emperor with soul power as high as level ninety-five, a top-tier powerhouse who had been famous across the continent for a long time.
Yu Yuanzhen had been sitting uneasily, but upon hearing this blunt interrogation from Tang Yu, his expression turned instantly grim.
He was, after all, the leader of one of the Upper Three Sects; where did he go that he wasn't treated with reverence?
Today, he had come to the banquet bearing heavy gifts, and even after witnessing Tang Yu's strength, he had made a massive concession in public to protect his family by expelling Yu Xiaogang.
Yet Tang Yu was still demanding he be held accountable.
Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath, suppressing the fury in his heart, and responded in a low voice:
"Prince Wuyang, I have already expelled that degenerate Yu Xiaogang from the family before the eyes of the world, and I have stripped his name from our genealogy."
"He now has no connection whatsoever to my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family."
"Everything he did was his own foolish conduct; I do not know what further explanation you could possibly want from me."
Facing Yu Yuanzhen's questioning, Tang Yu let out a cold snort, a playful glint flashing in his eyes:
"Expelled from the family?"
"Yu Yuanzhen, what do you take this Prince's residence for? A place you can take people in or kick them out of whenever you please?"
"Yu Xiaogang has been swindling people in the Heaven Dou Empire for twenty years, feeding off the dividends of your Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family and using your family's name."
"Now that he has caused trouble, you want to wipe your hands clean with a single sentence? Where in this world is there such a cheap deal?"
As Tang Yu spoke, he slowly stood up.
With his movement, a soul power fluctuation as vast as the sea rippled through the air. Although he did not unleash his full power, the pressure, heavy as a mountain, still caused everyone present to tremble.
The powerhouses from various factions nearby could not help but whisper among themselves.
"Isn't this Prince Wuyang being a bit too arrogant?"
"That is the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, one of the Upper Three Sects, with countless experts and a martial soul known as the number one beast martial soul in the world."
"Even if his strength is heaven-defying, isn't it going too far to pressure a super Dou Emperor like this?"
"Indeed, the young are always a bit hot-headed. If they really push the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family into a corner, it won't benefit anyone."
In the eyes of many, Tang Yu's actions were far too overbearing and irrational.
Hearing the faint murmurs around him, the pride and rage that Yu Yuanzhen had been suppressing in his heart finally erupted.
As the controller of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, the pride of a true dragon flowed through his bones.
He could compromise with a powerhouse for the sake of his family's interests, but that did not mean he would allow a junior to trample his dignity underfoot.
BOOM!
A violent blue thunder suddenly erupted from Yu Yuanzhen's body.
Dazzling arcs of electricity danced wildly across his skin, emitting crackling explosions, and the pressure of a level ninety-five super Dou Emperor swept across the entire plaza without reservation.
Yu Yuanzhen stared at Tang Yu on the high platform, gritting his teeth as he growled:
"Tang Yu! I respect you as a Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, and I respect your strength, but that does not mean my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family fears you!"
"My sect has been passed down for ten thousand years with a deep foundation; how can I allow you to humiliate us repeatedly here?"
"I have already done everything in my power regarding today's matter."
"Do not forget, even before Great Emperor Xue Ye, he must show me a modicum of respect and would not dare to be so insolent toward my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family!"
Yu Yuanzhen's voice rumbled like thunder, causing the entire plaza to vibrate.
He brought up the supreme ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire, attempting to use the big picture and the political balance between the two nations to pressure Tang Yu into retreating.
In the Heaven Dou Empire, the status of the Upper Three Sects was transcendent; even the Imperial Family had to consider the stance of these super sects when making any major decisions.
Great Emperor Xue Ye had always prioritized winning over and appeasing the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, never willing to easily burn bridges.
Everyone watched Tang Yu.
They wanted to see how this newly appointed Prince Wuyang would handle the situation now that Yu Yuanzhen had invoked the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
However.
On the high platform, when Tang Yu heard the name "Great Emperor Xue Ye," he felt not a shred of apprehension, but instead laughed quite wantonly.
The laughter rang out with piercing clarity amidst the thunderous explosions, dripping with endless contempt and mockery.
"Great Emperor Xue Ye?"
Tang Yu ceased his laughter, his expression turning icy in an instant as he spoke, word by word:
"What is Great Emperor Xue Ye, that he should be mentioned in the same breath as this King?"
"What he dares not do, this King will do."
"Whom he dares not kill, this King will kill!"
The moment the words fell.
BOOM!
A pressure a hundred times more terrifying than before erupted from Tang Yu's body like a tidal wave.
The vast soul power of a level 94 Titled Douluo was unleashed without reservation, manifesting as a massive pillar of dark red light that tore through the clouds in the sky.
The Forest of Eternal Treasures domain unfurled instantly.
The dark red domain enveloped the entire plaza, and it seemed as though countless hideous demon gods were roaring in the sky, while terrifying gravity and an aura of life-draining malice permeated every inch of space.
Before this power, the blue lightning that Yu Yuanzhen took such pride in was like a flickering candle in a gale, ruthlessly suppressed and swallowed until it dimmed in an instant.
Yu Yuanzhen's face turned ghastly pale.
He felt as if two towering mountains were pressing down on his shoulders; his bones groaned under the unbearable strain, and the soul power circulating within him became sluggish and stagnant under the suppression of the domain.
He stared at Tang Yu on the high platform in sheer horror, unable to believe that a teenager could possess such terrifying dominance, one that even faintly surpassed the limit of level 95.
Tang Yu stood at the edge of the high platform, looking down at Yu Yuanzhen and the trembling powerhouses of various factions gathered below.
His black robes snapped in the gale, and his entire being radiated a domineering aura that looked down upon the heavens.
"On this Douluo Continent, those who follow me shall prosper, and those who defy me shall perish."
"In this world, I alone am supreme!"
The vast plaza of the Blue Silver King Mansion fell into absolute silence.
Only the howling wind remained in the air.
Every noble and sect master present drew a sharp breath.
Yu Yuanzhen stood his ground, listening to those words of extreme arrogance.
As the dignified patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, when had he ever been insulted to his face like this?
His chest heaved violently.
The rage he had been forcing down finally shattered his last line of reason.
"You yellow-mouthed brat, do you truly think you are invincible?"
Yu Yuanzhen snapped his head up, his eyes filled with fury.
He had intended to yield repeatedly, seeking only to preserve his family's bloodline.
Who would have thought that Tang Yu would press him step by step, showing no regard even for the Heaven Dou imperial family?
Even a clay figurine has a temper.
Let alone a true dragon who had dominated the continent for decades!
"If I do not teach you a lesson today, how can my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family hold its head high in this world!"
Yu Yuanzhen roared.
Before the words had even faded, his withered body shuddered violently.
BOOM!
Violent lightning erupted from his body.
Blue electric light coiled around his limbs like wandering dragons.
Accompanied by a deafening dragon roar, Yu Yuanzhen's body began to undergo a drastic transformation.
Blue-purple dragon scales burst forth from beneath his skin.
His hands transformed into sharp dragon claws.
Martial Soul Possession!
Immediately following.
Dazzling light rose from beneath his feet in succession.
Yellow! Yellow! Purple! Purple! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black!
Nine soul rings in total pulsed around his body.
The terrifying aura of a level 95 Super Douluo exploded forth without reservation.
Visible ripples of soul power surged outward in all directions.
The banquet tables and chairs nearby were instantly overturned by the shockwave.
The sound of shattering plates and cups rang out in a cacophony.
The surrounding guests were forced back repeatedly by the shockwave.
Yet, there was little fear in their eyes; instead, an irrepressible excitement surged forth.
The powerhouses of the various major factions exchanged glances.
Everyone could see the barely contained fanaticism in the depths of each other's eyes.
"Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen is finally going to make a move!"
A noble of Heaven Dou City exclaimed in a hushed voice.
"This Tang Yu is truly too arrogant. Does he really think this Douluo Continent belongs to him alone?"
"Exactly! He doesn't even hold the masters of the Upper Three Sects in his eyes; it's high time someone stood up to discipline him."
"The Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon is the number one beast martial soul in the world, and Sect Master Yu is a level ninety-five Super Douluo."
"Even if Tang Yu possesses that bizarre domain, he might not necessarily be able to secure a win against this enraged old dragon!"
"It would be best if they fought and both ended up severely wounded!"
These sect representatives and dignitaries hiding behind the crowd were usually high and mighty.
Today, however, they had been suppressed by Tang Yu as if they were his grandsons.
They had long been harboring a belly full of resentment.
Now that they saw Yu Yuanzhen finally daring to stand up against Tang Yu's hegemony, they couldn't have been more delighted.
Everyone widened their eyes, terrified of missing a single detail of this peak showdown.
High upon the platform.
Tang Yu watched Yu Yuanzhen, who was wreathed in lightning below, with cold eyes.
He listened to the buzzing whispers of the crowd like mosquitoes and flies.
His face remained devoid of any expression.
"You want to teach This King a lesson?"
Tang Yu sneered, his figure not moving a single inch.
"With just you, a long worm with impure bloodlines, you think you're worthy?"
He did not even release his martial soul.
He merely raised his right hand casually and clenched his five fingers into a fist in the void.
"Forest of Eternal Treasures."
There were no flashy movements, nor were there any long-winded soul incantations.
Just those four words fell.
The colors of the world were stripped away in an instant.
The dark red light that had originally only shrouded the edge of the plaza surged wildly like a bursting flood.
Hum!
A piercing, mournful cry erupted from the void.
The dark red domain expanded several times over in an instant, completely swallowing the front courtyard of the Blue Silver King Mansion.
Everyone present, whether they were nobles excitedly watching the show or sect powerhouses standing at the ready.
At this moment, they were all forcibly dragged into this pitch-black space.
Oppression.
Absolute oppression.
A gravity akin to Mount Tai pressing down descended instantly upon everyone's shoulders.
The guests who had been whispering to each other a second ago could not move a single finger now.
They were like insects trapped in amber, frozen in place.
Even breathing became incredibly difficult.
Fear crawled into everyone's hearts like a venomous snake.
They discovered that the soul power within their bodies had actually ceased to circulate.
Even those powerhouses who had reached the level of Soul Douluo were unable to mobilize a single shred of power within this domain.
This was not a battle at all.
This was a one-sided slaughterhouse!
Xue Qinghe, standing behind Tang Yu, was also within the range of the domain.
However, Tang Yu had deliberately avoided her position.
Even so.
Xue Qinghe could still clearly feel the aura of destruction contained within this space.
Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, staring blankly at the back that resembled a demon god before her.
What terrifying power is this...
Xue Qinghe exclaimed in her heart.
She was not someone who had never seen the world.
As the young master of Martial Soul Hall and the granddaughter of Qian Daoliu, she had witnessed the might of too many top-tier powerhouses.
But those powers seemed so dim and lusterless compared to the dark red domain before her eyes.
This domain not only contained extreme gravitational suppression.
It even possessed a bizarre rule capable of forcibly stripping away the soul power and vitality of others.
She simply could not imagine how many seconds she would last if Tang Yu directed this power at her.
It seems my assessment of him was still too low.
This person's strength has absolutely broken the boundaries of common sense.
Xue Qinghe took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart.
Meanwhile, in a dark corner far away from the plaza.
Tang Hao, draped in a tattered cloak, was gripping the stone wall beside him.
The hard granite turned into powder under his terrifying grip.
He stared with bloodshot eyes.
As the Clear Sky Douluo who possessed the Slaughter God's Domain.
Tang Hao's perception of domain-type skills far exceeded that of ordinary people.
When that dark red light swept across the edge of his hiding spot, the Slaughter God's Domain within his body instinctively trembled.
It was an absolute submission when encountering a superior.
"Impossible..."
Tang Hao gritted his teeth, heavy gasps escaping his throat.
"My Slaughter God's Domain is formed from the power of Asura, how could it be suppressed?"
He carefully sensed the power of the laws permeating the air.
The more he sensed, the more intense the horror in his heart became.
The domain released by Tang Yu was not merely a simple amplification or weakening of soul power.
It was tampering with the laws of heaven and earth in this space.
"This power... it is absolutely impossible to unleash without a foundation of over a hundred thousand years."
"It has even... even approached the threshold of a god's domain!"
