As for an Ancient Void Dragon, he simply refused to believe that a fourth-tier magical beast could be one. Nor could he have imagined that the Ancient Void Dragons' disappearance over the past several thousand years had actually been due to civil war, leaving their clan's strength inferior even to the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

Hearing this, Zhu Jin extended his fourth dragon claw. His golden dragon eyes gleamed coldly as he declared with overwhelming killing intent, "One more point. Fourth, all of you will die here."

Seeing Zhu Jin hold out four dragon claws and correct those four errors—especially the fourth—the Beast Kings standing nearby found it utterly absurd.

One fifth-tier magical beast swallowed hard and said in disbelief, "Has this little dragon gone insane? Does he have delusions, imagining himself to be an eighth-tier magical beast? Never mind whether he really is an Ancient Void Dragon—even if he is, he's only fourth-tier. Any fifth- or sixth-tier beast here could crush him to death!"

"Idiot! Even if you are an Ancient Void Dragon, Ancient Void Dragons have vanished from the Beast Domain for thousands of years. The Beast Domain is no longer what it used to be. A mere fourth-tier little dragon like you is simply courting death!" Mu Qinghuang's eyes turned cold. His enormous wings slashed down fiercely, sending a cyan blade of force straight at Zhu Jin. A casual strike from a sixth-tier magical beast possessed enough power to split mountains and sever rivers.

The Yao Yun Snake Emperor also gave a cold smile, a dark glint flashing through his eyes. With a swoosh, a stream of venom turned into a poisonous arrow and shot toward Zhu Jin's heart. He had struck with lethal poison from the very start, intending to kill Zhu Jin.

"Kill him! This little dragon is insane! Kill him, and the opportunity will be ours!" In an instant, several magical beasts looking to profit from the chaos charged forward. They did not merely want to kill Zhu Jin; they also wanted to seize the opportunity and claim their share. Whether Zhu Jin was truly that so-called Ancient Void Dragon or not, even an ordinary dragon beast's flesh and blood was a delicacy.

Yet none of the magical beasts noticed that when Zhu Jin finished speaking, he had already crushed the Dragon Jade Slip he had obtained from the Heavenly Flame space.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!" In that instant, the jade slip in Zhu Jin's hand emitted warped light. The lethal attacks unleashed by the fifth- and sixth-tier magical beasts vanished the moment they touched his body, all of them distorted and destroyed by the power of the void!

"The power of space?! A Dou Zun expert!!"

Seeing space twist and that terrifying spatial power protect the dim little dragon, the knowledgeable Yao Yun Snake Emperor and Mu Qinghuang both shuddered inwardly, their expressions changing drastically. Mastery over the void was the mark of a Dou Zun expert, while only magical beasts above the eighth tier could wield the power of space!

With a thunderous boom, the moment Zhu Jin crushed the Dragon Jade Slip, a spatial shockwave carrying invincible might blasted every magical beast that had attacked and surrounded him flying.

The sixth-tier Mu Qinghuang, the Yao Yun Snake Emperor, even the third- and fourth-tier magical beasts standing far away and hoping to profit from the chaos—all of them were swept away by that spatial power like fallen leaves caught in a gale.

It was that familiar act of crushing a jade slip! Only this time, what had been summoned was not a Soul Hall Venerable, but the void dragon power left behind here in ancient times by the Ancient Void Dragon Clan!

In that instant, the entire dragon cave space began to tremble. Spatial power surged forth, enveloping Zhu Jin's body. He had not used soul power, but had instead borrowed the power of the void. After all, he was an Ancient Void Dragon!

For an Ancient Void Dragon, wielding space was the true path.

"You do not even know that this is a dragon cave sanctuary of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, yet you dared to shout about killing a little dragon of the Ancient Void Dragons on Ancient Void Dragon territory? You truly do not know whether you live or die!" Zhu Jin swept his dragon claw, and spatial power moved as though it were his own hand. It was as if this power naturally permitted the dragons of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan to wield it.

"You have chosen death! Spatial Annihilation!!!"

As Zhu Jin's soft shout fell, the space throughout this region began to churn violently and twist at high speed. Faint spatial folds even began to appear.

Crack!

The instant the folds emerged, pitch-black fractures appeared alongside them. The magical beasts that had been clamoring to kill Zhu Jin were twisted into grotesque spirals by the warped space. The strongest among them, Mu Qinghuang and the Yao Yun Snake Emperor, still tried to flee and retaliate, using every method they had in a desperate struggle for survival.

However, Zhu Jin merely sneered coldly at their actions and clenched his hand!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Space twisted violently, folds appearing one after another. At every location where a fold emerged, spatial turbulence poured from the cracks, transforming into invisible and razor-sharp spatial blades.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!" No matter what Dou Techniques or weapons Mu Qinghuang and the others used, they had no hope of breaking through a Spatial Annihilation that only a Dou Zun could wield. In an instant, blood sprayed through the air as one magical beast after another was shredded by spatial power.

"Argh! Argh!" Screams rose and fell. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of magical beasts had been slain. Magical beasts were far larger than humans to begin with, and with so many of them being annihilated by spatial power, the sight was immensely shocking.

"Trying to smash a rock with eggs. Pathetically weak." Zhu Jin stood in the air, looking down at those magical beasts unworthy of pity, his gaze filled with nothing but coldness.

If he had not been a member of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, and if he had not obtained this Dragon Jade Slip by chance, he would likely have died at the hands of these magical beasts. Of course, if he had not been an Ancient Void Dragon, he would not even have been able to enter this place. One could only say that this cause had led to this result.

Very soon, under Zhu Jin's icy gaze, Mu Qinghuang—the one with the strongest life force—had his neck twisted apart, dying with his eyes still open. His body was then sliced to pieces. A mighty Dou Emperor, a genius of the Azure Luan Clan, could not even hold on for three breaths.

Ancient Void Dragons were terrifying indeed!

Under the control of spatial power, a series of clanging sounds rang out. One magical core after another, along with strange bones and storage rings, was precisely extracted and floated in the air as though gravity had vanished.

"Well, would you look at that? There really is treasure." Zhu Jin could not help smiling as he looked at the magical cores, strange bones, and storage rings before him. It was like clearing a dungeon and having all the loot appear right in front of him.

"I've got the fare now." With a sweep of his hand, Zhu Jin stored everything, along with the corpses of all magical beasts above the fourth tier, inside the Ancient Void Space. Zhu Jin finally had money now—enough to buy a "ticket" for a spatial wormhole.

After all, the original story had clearly stated that taking a spatial wormhole cost money. To travel to the Black-Corner Region and find Zi Yan, he had to take a spatial wormhole. Back then, where had Zhu Jin gotten the money for a ticket?

Naturally, the most shocked person was Xie Dong, the only survivor present. Looking at the army of magical beasts that had practically been wiped out in a single moment, he felt incomparably fortunate that he had not chosen to betray this Dragon King and had instead chosen to believe in the power of the Ancient Void Dragons!

Zhu Jin looked at Xie Dong and said, "I'll send you out first."

Xie Dong hurriedly asked, "Dragon King, aren't you leaving as well?"

Zhu Jin shook his head and looked toward the direction where the medicinal garden had split open. A faint smile appeared on his lips. "I still have something to do."
