Battle Against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect

Boom! Accompanied by a deafening explosion, Qian Renchu's Destruction Great Hand crashed down upon Yu Yuanzhen's Dragon-Head Thunder Shield.

In an instant, the Soul Power on the thunder shield was utterly destroyed, and the Destruction Great Hand surged fiercely toward Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Yuanzhen's entire body was sent flying, smashing heavily into the wall.

At this moment, everyone except Snake Lance Douluo and the others was dumbfounded.

They had personally witnessed Yu Yuanzhen utterly crush Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish, two great Title Douluos.

Yet now, Yu Yuanzhen was in such a sorry state before Qian Renchu?

More than sorry—he was utterly helpless. Even after using a soul skill, he could not withstand Qian Renchu's casual strike!

"Who are you?!" Yu Yuanzhen climbed to his feet and looked at Qian Renchu with faint unease.

Having roamed the Douluo Continent for so many years, this was Yu Yuanzhen's first time encountering such a terrifying opponent, let alone one who was merely a young man in his twenties.

"The dead do not deserve to know my name!" Qian Renchu sneered. Endless Destruction Power surged forth once more, forming hundreds of Destruction Black Dragons that charged madly toward Yu Yuanzhen!

"Playing with dragons before me!"

"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!"

Yu Yuanzhen let out a roar, and the seventh soul ring beneath his feet lit up. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon behind him instantly grew incomparably massive. Lightning Power surged violently there, seemingly forming a sea of lightning.

The next moment, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Avatar burst forth from the lightning sea and thundered toward Qian Renchu's Destruction Black Dragons!

Roar!

A soaring dragon's cry echoed through the vast palace as the Destruction Black Dragons and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Avatar collided in a frenzied clash.

It could be seen that although Yu Yuanzhen's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Avatar was enormous and majestic, it appeared so flashy yet fragile beneath the attacks of Qian Renchu's Destruction Black Dragons.

In only a few moments, the Destruction Black Dragons completely tore the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon apart!

"Ninth Soul Skill: True Dragon's Roar, Thunder Shakes the Nine Heavens!" Yu Yuanzhen revealed a shocked expression as the ninth soul ring beneath his feet bloomed with black radiance.

Yu Yuanzhen's body began to float into the air, swelling violently. His arms turned into dragon arms, his hands into dragon claws, and even his head transformed into a dragon's head.

In the end, Yu Yuanzhen transformed into a complete Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Turning his body into a dragon for a life-or-death strike—

This was Yu Yuanzhen's strongest attack!

The next moment, amid an utterly piercing dragon roar, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Yu Yuanzhen had become charged madly at the Destruction Black Dragons.

Roar! Under Yu Yuanzhen's strongest strike, some of the Destruction Black Dragons were finally torn apart by his dragon claws.

But there were only a handful of them. More Destruction Black Dragons remained completely unharmed as they engaged Yu Yuanzhen in a savage confrontation.

Waves of miserable screams mingled with shrill dragon roars. The dragon scales of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Yu Yuanzhen had become were continuously falling away, blood splattering everywhere, as though he were on the verge of breaking apart at any moment.

"Who... who exactly is this man? How can he suppress Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen so completely?!"

"I never expected such a powerful expert to be hidden at His Highness the Crown Prince's side. It seems His Highness is certain to win this time!"

"A wise man submits to circumstances. We need to make preparations early."

Seeing Yu Yuanzhen at a disadvantage, the opportunistic court officials began to side with Xue Qinghe one after another.

"Sect Master!" On the other side, the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect were all horrified and grief-stricken at the sight.

"Everyone, attack together and aid the Sect Master!"

"Form the formation!"

Yu Luokun shouted.

At his command, the 1,800 disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect each took their designated positions, forming a massive formation shaped like a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Then, all of their Soul Power poured into their sect master, Yu Yuanzhen.

Roar! With the full assistance of the 1,800 Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect disciples and the special formation, Yu Yuanzhen's aura rose at an explosive rate, finally devouring the Destruction Black Dragons Qian Renchu had casually unleashed.

After all, Yu Yuanzhen had gone all out by now, while Qian Renchu had yet to reveal his soul rings!

A level ninety-five Title Douluo was not yet worthy of making him reveal his soul rings!

No matter how strong a level ninety-five Title Douluo was, before a Demigod, he was still like a Soul Saint before a Title Douluo. In Tang Hao's words, he could be beaten senseless even without using a martial soul!

However, in the very next moment, an immense barrier of Destruction Power formed before Qian Renchu.

"It seems I must first get rid of you troublesome insects." Qian Renchu looked at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect disciples behind Yu Yuanzhen and revealed a chilling smile.

"Hmph! With me here, do not even think of touching a single member of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!"

"Young man, cultivation is not easy. Why must you help evil doers?" Yu Yuanzhen's enormous dragon eyes glared fiercely at Qian Renchu.

Although he had gained a brief advantage, Yu Yuanzhen did not feel the slightest bit relieved.

The man before him was so young, yet his cultivation was likely already approaching that of an Ultimate Douluo.

Moreover, Qian Renchu had not revealed his soul rings from beginning to end.

"Hmph, hmph!" Qian Renchu sneered upon hearing this. "Since you have gathered the strength of your entire sect, I naturally ought to take you seriously."

As Qian Renchu's words fell, nine soul rings appeared beneath his feet one after another: red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, gold.

"Eight 100,000-Year Soul Rings!"

"A legendary golden soul ring!"

"H-He is the Spirit Hall Pope, Qian Renchu!"

Upon seeing the soul rings beneath Qian Renchu's feet, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect disciples and the court officials were simultaneously stunned.

At the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, Qian Renchu had once displayed his soul rings. They had long heard that he possessed eight 100,000-Year Soul Rings.

The deeds of Qian Renchu killing Tang Hao at the age of twenty-three and judging Bibi Dong, inheritor of the Evil God, had long been widely spread and known to all!

"The Spirit Hall Pope!" Yu Yuanzhen's dragon eyes shook. "What exactly does your Spirit Hall want to do?"

"Can't you see?" Qian Renchu sneered. "Spirit Hall walks the world in the name of righteousness. Xue Qinghe's ascension to the throne is wholly justified. Yet your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect dared to barge into the Tian Dou Imperial Palace and threaten the new emperor. Spirit Hall is naturally acting on behalf of Heaven."

"What a fine 'acting on behalf of Heaven'—you are simply twisting black into white!" Yu Yuanzhen flew into a rage. "So what if you are the Spirit Hall Pope? You are only one man. Today, you will die beneath my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!"

As Yu Yuanzhen's words fell, every disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was filled with soaring morale, and the soul rings beneath their feet spun wildly.

At that moment, even the sky changed color as lightning crashed down madly, as though the end of the world had arrived.

Immediately afterward, the Soul Power within their bodies surged wildly into Yu Yuanzhen through the formation.
