As for Ancient Void Dragons, he simply did not believe that a Tier Four Magic Beast could be an Ancient Void Dragon. Nor could he have imagined that, during the thousands of years the Ancient Void Dragons had vanished, they had actually been fighting a civil war, and that their clan's strength was even inferior to the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

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

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

A Tier Five Magic Beast swallowed and said in disbelief, "Is this little dragon insane? Has he gone mad and imagined himself to be a Tier Eight Magic Beast? Never mind whether he really is an Ancient Void Dragon; even if he is, he's only Tier Four. Any Tier Five or Tier Six here could crush him to death!"

"Idiot! Even if you are an Ancient Void Dragon, Ancient Void Dragons have already vanished from the Beast Domain for thousands of years. The Beast Domain is no longer what it once was. A mere Tier Four little dragon like you is simply courting death!" Mu Qinghuang's eyes turned cold. His enormous wings slashed sharply, sending a green blade straight at Zhu Jin. A casual Dou Qi strike from a Tier Six Magic Beast was enough to split mountains and sever rivers.

The Snake Emperor Yaoyun also smiled coldly, a dark glint flashing through his eyes. With a whoosh, a strand of venom transformed into a poisonous arrow and shot toward Zhu Jin's heart. He struck with deadly poison from the very start, intending to kill Zhu Jin.

"Kill him! This little dragon is mad. Kill him, and the opportunity will be ours!" In an instant, some Magic Beasts hoping to profit from the chaos rushed forward. They did not merely want to kill Zhu Jin; they also wanted to seize the opportunity and claim a share. Whether Zhu Jin was truly an Ancient Void Dragon or not, even an ordinary Dragon Beast's flesh and blood was a delicacy.

However, none of the Magic Beasts noticed that as Zhu Jin's words fell, 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 a warped radiance. The lethal attacks unleashed by those Tier Five and Tier Six Magic Beasts vanished the moment they touched Zhu Jin's body, all of them twisted apart and destroyed by the power of the void!

"The Dao of Space?! A Dou Venerate expert!!"

As they watched space warp and the terrifying spatial power shield that dim little dragon, the knowledgeable Snake Emperor Yaoyun and Mu Qinghuang were both shaken to the core, their expressions changing drastically. Commanding the void was the mark of a Dou Venerate expert, and only Magic Beasts of Tier Eight or above could control spatial power!

With a thunderous boom, when Zhu Jin crushed the Dragon Jade Slip, a spatial shockwave carrying irresistible might blasted every Magic Beast that had attacked and surrounded him flying.

Whether it was the Tier Six Mu Qinghuang or the Snake Emperor Yaoyun, even those Tier Three and Tier Four Magic Beasts standing far away and hoping to fish in troubled waters were swept away by that spatial power like fallen leaves caught in a gale.

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

At that moment, the entire Dragon Cave began to tremble. Spatial power surged forth and wrapped around Zhu Jin's body. He did not use soul power, but borrowed the power of the void. After all, he was an Ancient Void Dragon!

Ancient Void Dragons were the true masters of space.

"You do not even know that this is the Dragon Cave sanctuary of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, yet you dared to shout about killing an Ancient Void Dragon's young dragon on Ancient Void Dragon territory? You truly do not know the difference between life and death!" With a sweep of Zhu Jin's dragon claw, spatial power moved as though it were his own hand. It was as if this power had naturally been made for dragons of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan to wield.

"You have chosen your own deaths! Spatial Annihilation!!!"

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

Crack!

The instant the wrinkles appeared, black fractures emerged alongside them. The Magic Beasts that had initially clamored to kill Zhu Jin were twisted alive into spirals by warped space. The strongest among them, Mu Qinghuang and the Snake Emperor Yaoyun, still tried to flee and counterattack, using every means at their disposal to survive.

Yet Zhu Jin merely sneered at their actions and abruptly clenched his hand!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Space twisted rapidly, wrinkle after wrinkle continuously appearing. At every point where a wrinkle emerged, spatial turbulence poured from the cracks, transforming into invisible, razor-sharp spatial blades.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! No matter what Dou Skills or weapons Mu Qinghuang and the others used, they could not possibly break the Spatial Annihilation that only a Dou Venerate could wield. In an instant, blood sprayed as Magic Beast after Magic Beast was shredded by spatial power.

"Ahhh!" Miserable screams rose and fell. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Magic Beasts had been slain. Magic Beasts were far larger than humans to begin with, and with so many being torn apart by spatial power, the sight was overwhelmingly brutal.

"Like eggs striking a stone. Utterly vulnerable." Zhu Jin stood in midair, looking down at those Magic Beasts, who were not worthy of pity. His eyes held only coldness.

If he had not been an Ancient Void Dragon and had not obtained this Dragon Jade Slip by chance, he would likely have died at the hands of these Magic Beasts. Of course, if he were not an Ancient Void Dragon, he would not even have been able to enter. It could only be said that this cause had led to this result.

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

Ancient Void Dragons were truly terrifying!

Under the control of spatial power, a series of clanging sounds rang out. Magic Cores, strange bones, and storage rings were precisely extracted one after another, floating in the air as though they had lost all gravity.

"You know, there really is treasure here." Zhu Jin could not help smiling as he looked at the Magic Cores, strange bones, and storage rings before him. It was like clearing a dungeon and having all the treasure 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 Magic Beasts above Tier Four, into the Ancient Void Space. Zhu Jin finally had money and could buy a "ticket" for a Spatial Wormhole.

After all, the original story had clearly recorded that using a Spatial Wormhole required payment. To travel to the Black-Corner Region and find Zi Yan, he had to ride a Spatial Wormhole. Back then, where would Zhu Jin have found the money to buy a ticket?

Naturally, the most shocked person was Xie Dong, the sole survivor in the entire area. Looking at the Magic Beast army that had almost completely died in the very next second, 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, "Lord Dragon King, aren't you leaving as well?"

Zhu Jin shook his head and looked toward the direction where the Medicine Garden had once split apart. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he said, "I still have something to do."
