Chapter 577: Defeated, the Northern Dragon King Flees!

Elsewhere in the blood formation, the Western Dragon King—sent by Zi Yan to provide aid—was swiftly throwing the bound ancient dragons out of the blood array. Even though his speed was not slow, quite a few were still blown to pieces, reduced to blood mist.

Seeing this, Zi Yan immediately shouted, “Elder Qingshan, Elder Zhu Nan, hurry and save them! Leave this place to me!”

“As you command!”

At her order, Qingshan and the Southern Dragon King immediately flashed away from the battlefield, rushing toward the blood formation below.

At this moment, inside the formation, there were still more than seven hundred ancient dragon experts clinging to life.

With Qingshan and the Southern Dragon King joining the rescue, another thirty or forty bound ancient dragons were quickly freed and tossed out of the Dragon Transformation Demon Array.

“Heh heh, the Dragon Transformation Demon Array is the supreme art of our ancient dragon clan. Those fools actually wanted to destroy it—how utterly stupid!”

Now, gazing at the immense blood dragon in the sky, the Northern Dragon King’s savage face twisted with cruelty. His eyes filled with venom as he glanced at Zi Yan not far ahead, then shot upward and turned into a streak of blood light, diving straight into the blood dragon’s gaping maw.

As he entered the blood dragon’s body, the creature’s radiance intensified again. A gloomy blood light swirled around its massive form, the enormous scales shimmering with an almost tangible, chilling gleam.

“Roar!”

The blood dragon’s huge, frenzied eyes, seething with violent energy, fixed coldly on Zi Yan. Then its colossal body slowly shifted, and its ferocious maw suddenly gaped open. From within, a vast beam of blood light, nearly a hundred meters across and carrying a terrifying, bloody aura, erupted like a crazed dragon, lashing toward Zi Yan.

“Your Majesty, be careful!”

Feeling the pressure from above, even Qingshan’s rescue speed faltered, his eyes filled with intense worry.

“Be careful, Your Majesty!”

As the blood light blasted forth, the Western Dragon King, Southern Dragon King, and tens of thousands of ancient dragons outside Northern Dragon Island all cried out in alarm. From that blood light, they sensed a dreadful power that made their hearts race. No one dared imagine the consequences of taking such an attack head-on.

After this shock, the Southern Dragon King, Western Dragon King, Qingshan, and the others quickly resumed rescuing the bound experts. They knew clearly that if they saved everyone, the Northern Dragon King’s formation would lose its support, his wounds would not heal quickly, and his strength would cease to rise. This was now the only way to help Zi Yan.

“Die, our Dragon Emperor!”

As the blood beam tore through the void, the Northern Dragon King’s triumphant roar echoed through this empty space.

Facing his roar, Zi Yan’s purple-glowing eyes flashed with determination.

The next moment, she raised her golden greatsword high above her head, a strange power surging from within her into the blade.

“It ends now!”

Zi Yan let out a low cry in her heart, and the golden greatsword in her hand slashed fiercely toward the blood light.

At the instant the sword fell, nearly one-fifth of Zi Yan’s long purple hair suddenly turned grayish-white. It was clear that this strike had consumed a massive amount of her life force.

The next moment, to everyone’s shock, that terrifying beam of blood light—strong enough to rival the peak of Four-Star Dou Saint, or even withstand a newly advanced Five-Star Dou Saint—was actually split in two by the strange energy in her sword.

In the eyes of all present, they could clearly see the blood light that cut across the void suddenly begin to dissolve rapidly at the point where it met the sword’s glow, splitting apart in the middle without any resistance.

The speed was astonishing. In no time, the massive blood light was completely divided in two. At that moment, the strange energy in Zi Yan’s strike was about to slam into the enormous blood dragon’s head.

“Roar!”

Just then, blinding blood light erupted wildly from the blood dragon’s massive body, converging at a shocking speed in its fearsome maw, and finally condensed into a physical blood pearl about half a meter wide, its dark color horrifying to behold. The pearl’s surface was covered in vein-like lines, radiating a dense, bloody aura that filled the void.

“Whoosh!”

As soon as the blood pearl formed, madness flashed in the Northern Dragon King’s eyes. He immediately spat it fiercely at the sword energy formed by the strange power. The moment the pearl left him, the blood dragon began to collapse, as if all its energy had been taken away with it.

“Dragon Soul Pearl—this beast won’t even spare the souls of his own kin!” Seeing the blood pearl, the ancient dragons outside the blood formation were instantly bloodshot with rage. The Northern Dragon King had devoured not only their flesh, but now even their souls.

Under their gaze, the massive blood pearl shielded the Northern Dragon King, but cracks appeared on it in an instant.

Clearly, though the blood pearl was powerful, it was still no match for Zi Yan’s life-burning sword strike.

Very soon, the blood pearl was also cleaved in half, and endless blood energy gushed out from within.

However, although the pearl was split, the force of Zi Yan’s strike was nearly spent at this point.

As the giant blood dragon dissipated, the Northern Dragon King’s figure reappeared, but now, he had lost all will to fight. After all, the remaining few hundred ancient dragons in the Dragon Transformation Demon Array had all been rescued. The formation no longer provided him with any energy, his injuries were severe, and if he kept fighting, he would certainly die here today.

“Heh heh, Dragon Emperor, I may have lost today, but you won’t be much better off! Next time I return to the dragon clan, it’ll be my turn to claim the Dragon Emperor’s throne!”

The Northern Dragon King let out a crazed roar toward Zi Yan, then, dragging his battered body, he tore open a massive spatial rift and leaped in without hesitation.

With the Northern Dragon King’s strength, no one present could set up a spatial barrier capable of stopping him. And Zi Yan, in her current state, was in no condition to unleash such a powerful sword strike again.

Watching the Northern Dragon King flee, Qingshan and the Southwestern Dragon King, having rescued everyone, launched a fierce attack at the spatial rift.

Zi Yan did not pursue. At this moment, the golden longsword in her hand—formed as if from liquid—wavered gently and then dissipated. As the Dragon-Slaying Sword vanished, a mouthful of blood gushed from Zi Yan’s lips, and her body slowly collapsed backward.
