The Golden Dragon King Appears!

The moment Jiang Ce's voice fell beside Zi Ji's ear, the drop of ink-colored venom beneath her sole exploded violently.

Countless pitch-black threads burrowed along the gaps in her dragon scales, racing up her body toward the soul core within her chest.

"Get out!"

Zi Ji roared, her dragon might erupting. Her fingers transformed into claws, and she condensed dark energy into blades, slashing back at her own body.

She would rather gouge out the infested parts than allow a mass of unknown black sludge to occupy her body.

However, the venom had already seeped into every inch of her flesh. The moment her fingers touched her skin, the Black Latex Suit surged from beneath, binding her arms firmly.

"Don't waste your effort. We are completely inseparable now."

The mass of black sludge was roaming within her, like countless warm hands stroking her body all at once.

Zi Ji gritted her teeth, her anger reaching its peak.

Emperor Heaven stepped forward, his fingers clawing at the air as he poured destructive dark energy directly into Zi Ji's body, attempting to forcibly strip the parasitic venom from her.

Yet, the venom was cunning to the extreme. The moment the dark energy touched it, it dispersed into hundreds of thin threads, burrowing into the deepest parts of Zi Ji's body and entwining tightly with her soul core.

Emperor Heaven's power swept through Zi Ji's body several times, separating some parts only for others to become entangled again.

Emperor Heaven's expression turned grim, his golden pupils reflecting an unprecedented gravity.

What on earth was this thing?

Just then, Jiang Ce's voice echoed in the mind of the Imperial Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Do you want to beat up Emperor Heaven?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay on Liu Erlong's shoulder, her three eyes widening simultaneously.

Beat up Emperor Heaven?

Had she heard that right?

Was it really possible?

Would she not end up being beaten to a pulp?

"Are you afraid?"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion flicked her tail, the guilt in her eyes replaced by a sense of eagerness.

She had long wanted to see Emperor Heaven suffer a setback.

From childhood to adulthood, Emperor Heaven had always controlled her, forbidding her from running too far, forbidding her from leaving the core area, forbidding this and forbidding that—

Now that she had someone backing her, what was there to fear?

The Black Latex Suit on Liu Erlong, Ye Yingling, and Tang Yuehua surged simultaneously.

The Golden Holy Flame Dragon martial soul, the Nine-Heart Begonia: Sacred Chant, the Noble Ring, and the Imperial Auspicious Beast's Golden Dragon King bloodline—

Four distinct powers converged through the Symbiotic Link.

Jiang Ce's several split bodies fused together, his age breaking through the 160,000-year threshold in one fell swoop.

He evolved all the martial souls of the three women and the Auspicious Beast, catalyzing the trace of the Golden Dragon King bloodline within the Imperial Auspicious Beast alongside the homologous bloodline he had copied.

Under this catalysis, the two strands of Golden Dragon King bloodline finally exploded with a roar.

In an instant, extreme dragon might poured out like a physical force.

A golden pillar of light shot into the sky, piercing the clouds.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, all the fierce beasts felt a violent tremor in the depths of their souls.

They simultaneously felt this bloodline suppression.

It was a king-level pressure, more ancient and pure than that of Emperor Heaven.

Emperor Heaven turned his head abruptly, his golden pupils contracting sharply.

Golden Dragon King.

A colossal golden dragon slowly took shape within the golden light.

Its dragon body blotted out the sky and sun, every scale shimmering with the dark golden light of destruction, and its dragon horns resembled two golden spears piercing the firmament.

The storm whipped up by its unfolding Dragon Wings snapped the treetops of the entire dense forest at the waist.

"A semi-god-level Golden Dragon King!?"

"How is this possible?!"

Zi Ji cried out, her entire consciousness crushed by the golden dragon's pressure.

Her legs trembled, and her dragon scales shivered.

Every drop of dragon blood within him roared the same word—

Surrender.

Golden Dragon King Domain: Annihilation Dragon Domain.

Spreading out forty kilometers from the Golden Dragon King.

Heaven and earth lost their color, the space steeped in destructive power interwoven with dark gold and blood red.

Annihilation Suppression: All enemy targets' attributes weakened by ninety percent, all allies' attributes amplified by three hundred percent.

Dragon races below the Golden Dragon King's bloodline level were directly stripped of their will to fight.

Dragon Emperor's Edict: Teleportation, invisibility, invincibility, resurrection forbidden; all space-related, stealth-related, immunity-related, and death-rattle skills rendered invalid.

Annihilation Dragon Breath: Countless dark gold dragon breaths automatically locked onto each enemy target, simultaneously burning flesh, soul power, and mental energy, unable to be purified or dispelled.

Dragon King's Judgment: Each attack carried the law of destruction, ignoring all defenses, shields, and invincibility states.

Damage doubled for those below the Golden Dragon King's cultivation level; a gap exceeding a major realm directly triggered Annihilation.

Emperor Heaven's dragon body trembled violently within the domain.

All attributes were instantly weakened by ninety percent, and the remaining ten percent of his strength, under the continuous burning of the Annihilation Dragon Breath, couldn't even maintain human form.

He was forced to reveal his true form—

a colossal, winged, golden-eyed Black Dragon King.

The Black Dragon King raised its head and let out a dragon roar, attempting to counter the suppression with its dragon might.

But the roar got stuck in its throat halfway.

The Golden Dragon King raised a dragon claw and casually swiped.

Emperor Heaven's massive Black Dragon King body was struck as if by a giant hammer, the entire dragon body flew backward, crashing through a mountain peak, plowing a several-mile-long trench in the ground before crashing into a wasteland.

The ground exploded into a giant pit hundreds of meters wide, with debris and soil raining down like a storm.

Emperor Heaven was utterly defenseless.

The gap in bloodline levels was too vast, so vast that any struggle was futile.

Emperor Heaven lay at the bottom of the pit, a trickle of golden dragon blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

He struggled to lift his head, gazing at the colossal golden dragon that blotted out the sky in the distance, his eyes filled with disbelief.

How could this be?

The Golden Dragon King, the demigod of the Dragon God, should be suppressed in the God Realm, shouldn't he?

How could he be here?

"Nothing is impossible."

Jiang Ce's voice came from within the Golden Dragon King.

"Zi Ji, return."

Zi Ji hadn't recovered from her shock when

the Venom organization surged again, completely engulfing her.

She was horrified to find herself completely losing control of her body, transforming into a purple light and flying towards the Golden Dragon King.

The Golden Dragon King opened its dragon maw, and Zi Ji's body plunged directly into the golden radiance.

The Hell Demon Dragon King's bloodline and the Golden Dragon King's bloodline shared the same origin.

Upon fusion, the Golden Dragon King's aura surged significantly once more.

A terrifying aura was unleashed, and Emperor Heaven felt his bones grinding with every creak.

This was the first time he had experienced such complete suppression.

"Emperor Heaven! I want to go out and play! Or I'll beat you up!"

The Auspicious Beast's voice came from within the Golden Dragon King, with a triumphant tone.

Emperor Heaven's mouth twitched fiercely.

He had lived for countless years and had never been threatened like this.

But the problem was this Golden Dragon King was too terrifying.

Even if they were initially on equal footing, under its terrifying bloodline suppression, he couldn't even muster the will to fight.

It wasn't that he didn't want to fight, but the absolute submission at the bloodline level suppressed even the thought of raising a dragon claw.

Zi Ji, now fused within the body of the Golden Dragon King, felt emotions that were complex to the extreme.

She looked down at her own hands—

She had actually become a part of the Golden Dragon King.

Although it was forced, this level of power, which she had never experienced before, left her momentarily unsure of how to react.

Being able to suppress Emperor Heaven just as she had moments ago was something she had never even imagined possible.

"Silver Dragon King, will you just stand by and watch your subordinate be suppressed?"

Jiang Ce's voice echoed once more from within the Golden Dragon King's body.

As the words fell, a silver-white radiance suddenly bloomed in the sky.
