Chapter 527: Civil War on Dragon Island, Dragon Emperor Zi Yan!
In the dark and silent void, several streaks of light suddenly appeared.
Moments later, these lights slowly halted outside Ancient Dragon Island. As the light faded, several figures with powerful auras became visible.
Most of these individuals were clad in dark gold armor adorned with dragon patterns, exuding a vast and overwhelming dragon's might. In addition to these armored figures, there were others who were shirtless, their physiques extremely muscular, creating an intense visual impact.
"It's people from West Dragon Island and South Dragon Island!"
Upon seeing these figures, angry voices immediately erupted from within Ancient Dragon Island.
"Xia Ao! You dare lead your men to invade East Dragon Island? You've got guts!"
In the sky, space twisted as several figures emerged. The leader was none other than Elder Zhu Li and another high-ranking elder of East Dragon Island, Elder Qi You.
"Haha, Old Qi You, Old Zhu Li, no need to get angry. I'm just following orders to invite the royal-blooded one to visit West Dragon Island," a burly man in dark gold armor with thick eyebrows laughed loudly from outside the void.
"An invitation? More like imprisonment! West Dragon Island only has a branch of the royal bloodline. How dare you act so boldly?"
Qi You's face grew cold as he clenched his fist, causing a vast and terrifying energy to rapidly gather.
"Hey, Qi You, when it comes to combat strength, East Dragon Island is the weakest of the four islands. If my Dragon Armor Army from West Dragon Island really attacked, your East Dragon Island wouldn't last long," Xia Ao sneered, waving his hand. The warriors clad in dark gold armor behind him stepped forward, their fierce pressure gathering as it spread toward Dragon Island.
"West Dragon Island's Dragon Armor Army and South Dragon Island's Barbarian Dragon Army have both sent their elite warriors. But I wonder, who is leading the Barbarian Dragon Army?" Zhu Li scoffed from the side.
"Haha, as expected of Elder Zhu Li. Even hidden, you managed to spot me," a raspy voice responded. The pitch-black void twisted as an elder clad in simple animal skins, his skin pale white, suddenly appeared out of thin air, smiling at Elder Zhu Li.
"So, it's Elder Man Yan," Zhu Li said, glancing at the elder with an indifferent expression, his voice calm.
"Elder Zhu Li, please hand over the person. We're only following orders," Man Yan said with a sigh, his tone somber.
"Hand over? Do you really think East Dragon Island is that easy to bully? If it weren't for the First and Second Elders being in seclusion, would you three islands dare be so arrogant here?"
A figure shot up into the sky, showing no fear of the mighty pressure from the numerous strong warriors of West Dragon Island. It was Hei Qing, who shouted loudly.
"Same old fiery temper, Hei Qing," Xia Ao said, glancing at Hei Qing, before turning to Man Yan. "We don't have time to waste. Let's attack."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Ao's dark gold armor burst into radiant golden light, and a massive aura like a storm surged from his body. The deep roar of a dragon echoed faintly from the golden light.
"Dragon Armor Army, move out! Capture the royal-blooded one and take them back!" Xia Ao commanded, waving his hand. The Dragon Armor Army behind him let out a fierce cry, their violent auras surging as they transformed into streaks of light, charging into Ancient Dragon Island.
"Sigh, let's do it," Elder Man Yan sighed.
At his command, the shirtless figures clenched their fists, their arms swelling as their skin rapidly transformed into dragon claws covered with faint purple scales. In a flash, they rushed into Ancient Dragon Island.
"Stop them!"
Zhu Li's expression darkened as he shouted.
"Yes!"
At Zhu Li's command, several blurry figures shot out from Ancient Dragon Island, their presence surging into the sky.
A fierce battle erupted instantly. The air was filled with deafening explosions and the dull sounds of bodies colliding as both sides clashed above the island.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Ancient Dragon Island resounded with the sounds of an intense battle. War zones appeared all over the island's sky, and the once peaceful atmosphere shattered.
The elite forces of two dragon islands were clashing, their power enough to wipe out any top-tier faction in Central Plains.
While the island fell into chaos, the deep hall within Dragon Island remained calm.
Inside the hall, Zi Yan's once-rigid body slowly softened. An unfathomable, ocean-like energy flowed endlessly through her body.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
In the sky, Hei Qing, watching over the hall, tensed as he heard the sound of something slicing through the air. His expression shifted as he saw more than a dozen fierce auras approaching rapidly.
"Stop them! Don't let them disturb Mo Yu!" Hei Qing ordered sharply as he saw the intruders.
"Swoosh!"
At his command, figures darted out from the surrounding mountains like lightning, intercepting the intruders from afar. The moment they clashed, another fierce battle erupted.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The fierce energy fluctuations spread across the sky like low thunder, echoing above Dragon Island.
Hei Qing's gaze remained fixed on Mo Yu, who sat with his eyes closed, his fists slowly tightening.
"Mo Yu, East Dragon Island is counting on you. If you can resolve this, I swear I'll follow you as a brother, and I'll fight anyone you tell me to," Hei Qing muttered to himself. Even someone as unruly as him had no choice but to pin his hopes on Mo Yu now.
"Bang!"
Just as Hei Qing finished speaking, a loud explosion echoed from afar. A fierce aura shot toward them like lightning.
"Haha! Found you!" a man in dark gold armor laughed sinisterly.
"Summer Demon, the Fourth Commander of the Dragon Armor Army?" Hei Qing frowned upon recognizing the man.
"Hei Qing, hand over the royal-blooded one, or I'll make sure East Dragon Island runs red with blood today!"
Summer Demon stepped forward, standing just meters from Hei Qing, his energy radiating terror as the air between them crackled with tension.
"If you want her, you'll have to prove you're worthy first!" Hei Qing's face darkened as he clenched his fists and punched forward with all his might.
Seeing Hei Qing attack, Summer Demon sneered and responded with his own punch. Their fists collided violently, causing shockwaves to ripple through the air with thunderous booms.
The once quiet area descended into chaos as the two exchanged blows.
Yet, amid the chaos, the thin figure sitting cross-legged in front of Zi Yan remained motionless.
"It seems I'm late, but it looks like I haven't missed the real show."
High in the sky, an elder in a green robe smiled as he observed the chaos below on Ancient Dragon Island.
"Qing Yan!"
Upon seeing the green-robed elder, Zhu Li, who was battling Man Yan, felt his heart sink.
It became clear that the three Dragon Kings were truly determined to capture Zi Yan—they had even sent a half-saint and two peak Dou Zun experts.
Qing Yan glanced at the tense Zhu Li before turning his gaze toward the depths of Dragon Island, a smile tugging at his lips.
"Man Yan, you deal with Zhu Li. I'll take care of the royal-blooded one myself," Qing Yan said calmly, flashing forward into the hall.
Once inside, he spared a glance at Mo Yu, who was sitting cross-legged, then turned his attention to the figure opposite Mo Yu. His brow furrowed slightly as he muttered, "So this is the one with royal blood? Still just a child, but I can already sense the beginnings of that royal pressure."
"We can't let this one grow. If she does, the three Dragon Kings won't be able to sleep at night. So, boy, stop your lightning now."
Qing Yan stepped forward, his body floating just above the ground as he calmly approached Mo Yu.
In an instant, Qing Yan stood beside Mo Yu, looking at him with a faint smile. He raised his hand, Dou Qi surging, and without hesitation, aimed a strike at the top of Mo Yu's head.
But just as Qing Yan's palm was about to land, the girl opposite Mo Yu suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes.
The next moment, a cold voice, filled with boundless authority, rang out like a soul-shaking thunder in Qing Yan's ears, freezing his body in place.
"If you harm him, you'll pay with your life!"
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable pressure that made Qing Yan's soul tremble.
This pressure came from the depths of his soul, his blood, something utterly supreme.
"A fully matured royal bloodline..."
Qing Yan's face turned pale as his body froze. This kind of pressure could only belong to someone with a true royal bloodline!
At that moment, Qing Yan halted his attack, his hand stopping just above Mo Yu's head. Without hesitation, he tapped his foot in the air and swiftly retreated.
"Whoosh!"
As Qing Yan retreated, a streak of purple-gold lightning shot out from the void, striking him with lightning speed.
"Boom!"
The purple-gold light exploded on Qing Yan's body, sending him flying backward as blood sprayed from his mouth.
As Qing Yan was blasted away, Summer Demon and the other warriors battling Hei Qing inside the hall froze.
They looked inside and saw a delicate figure slowly appearing.
When they saw her, they could feel their blood boiling inside them, an irresistible urge to kneel forming within them.
"A true royal bloodline… It's fully awakened…" Hei Qing murmured in awe, his gaze fixed on Zi Yan.
As everyone watched, the terrifying lightning around Zi Yan gradually faded, revealing her elegant figure to the world.
Zi Yan now wore a purple-gold robe adorned with a dragon-phoenix pattern. Her beautiful purple eyes had turned into a mysterious, mesmerizing purple-gold, carrying a regal and commanding presence that made even the heavens bow.
No longer the young girl she once was, Zi Yan had transformed into a stunning, mature beauty.
While all eyes were drawn to her regal aura, they suddenly noticed something behind her.
A pair of massive purple-gold wings, nearly a meter long, slowly flapped behind her. With each beat, the air trembled with the sound of thunder and wind, sending shivers down their spines.
"The wings of a Sky Phoenix… and the body of an Ancient Dragon…"
Hei Qing's excitement grew as he stared at Zi Yan's wings. Unable to contain himself any longer, he fell to his knees in the sky, his voice filled with reverence.
"Welcome, Dragon Emperor!"
"Welcome, Dragon Emperor!"
...
Following Hei Qing's lead, the other warriors of East Dragon Island also dropped to their knees, shouting with fanatical devotion.
As their voices echoed, the scene immediately attracted the attention of everyone on Ancient Dragon Island.
A wave of rich purple-gold light spread from Zi Yan's body like rippling water, flowing over every corner of the island like gentle rain.
"This is… such a powerful bloodline pressure…"
"Even the three Dragon Kings don't have this level of pressure…"
"Could it be… the Dragon Emperor?"
Under the spreading purple-gold light, every battlefield on Dragon Island suddenly fell silent.
Everyone stood frozen in shock, bathed in the light.
They could feel it—their very blood seemed to slow within them.
"It's really happening…"
Zhu Li's aged eyes seemed to pierce through the void, gazing in awe at the figure inside the hall. Overcome with emotion, he couldn't hold back his tears as he slowly knelt in the sky.
"The Ancient Void Dragon Clan finally has a Dragon Emperor…"
