Chapter 17 Zi Yan, will Yu Yuanzhen's dragon bones be used to pave floor tiles?
He did not reveal his true form, but merely maintained his human form. However, the terrifying dragon's might caused Yu Yuanzhen's martial soul true form to shatter on the spot!
"puff!"
Yu Yuanzhen was forced to exit his Martial Soul True Body state, spitting out blood. He slumped in the void like a dead dog, staring at the black-armored giant with terrified eyes.
"Who...who are you?"
"I am the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! I possess the bloodline of a true dragon..."
Yu Yuanzhen said tremblingly, trying to use his own bloodline to fight for a sliver of life.
"True dragon bloodline?"
On the other hand, Hei Qing seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.
He strode up to Yu Yuanzhen and grabbed him by the neck like a chick:
"With your bloodline so thin it's even weaker than a wyvern's, you dare call yourself a true dragon?"
"Does having a few scales and horns make you a dragon?"
"I think you're a mutated bigfoot lizard, aren't you?"
As he spoke, Hei Qing also sniffed Yu Yuanzhen's scent with disgust, then frowned and said:
"Moreover, this lightning-attribute energy is too mixed; it's an insult to the power of lightning."
"I originally wanted to eat you, but I felt that it would give me diarrhea."
...
Meanwhile, in the Douluo Continent.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, Zhenlong Mountain.
All the elders and disciples were frozen in place, staring blankly at the light screen.
Their god, their invincible clan leader, the man who is said to possess the number one beast martial soul in the world...
At this moment, he is being carried in someone's hand like a piece of trash.
What devastated them most were the words of the burly man in black armor.
"Hybrid lizard."
"Even a dragon beast is inferior."
"A mutated bigfoot lizard."
Every word was like a red-hot dagger, stabbing deep into the hearts of every member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, and then stirring them up wildly!
"No, this can't be real!!"
Finally, one of the elders couldn't hold back any longer and knelt on the ground, breaking down in tears:
"We are dragons! We are the noble Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!!"
"Why are we even inferior to dragons in that world?!"
"Our faith, our pride, are all destroyed!!"
...
On the other side, at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo's last bit of arrogance, which he had because he was a Title Douluo, vanished.
He looked at the black-clad figure, his voice trembling:
"The black-armored giant shattered the old dragon's martial soul body with just a wisp of pressure emanating from his human form."
"This is definitely not an ordinary expert..."
"That's probably a true dragon from that world, a being that stands at the pinnacle of that world!"
"In the face of a true dragon, the so-called Dragon Martial Soul of our Douluo Continent is indeed a joke."
...
Behind the celestial curtain, in the Battle Through the Heavens dimension.
Hei Qing was seen holding Yu Yuanzhen, looking somewhat impatient and wanting to crush him to death.
But just then, a youthful yet authoritative voice suddenly rang out from inside the island:
"Uncle Hei Qing, wait a minute."
Hei Qing paused, a simple, honest smile instantly spreading across his face as he respectfully gazed into the depths of the void:
"Young Clan Leader? Why have you emerged from seclusion?"
Soon, a beautiful little girl with purple hair and eyes appeared, skipping and hopping out of the void.
She glanced at Yu Yuanzhen, who was being held by Hei Qing, a hint of curiosity flashing in her large, amethyst-like eyes:
"Huh? This old man smells really strange."
"Although his bloodline is terrible, I've never seen that bone inside his body before."
After saying that, Zi Yan also stretched out her small hand and grabbed Yu Yuanzhen's arm from a distance.
Click!
"Aaaaaaah!!"
Yu Yuanzhen let out a shrill scream on the spot. His right arm exploded instantly, and a piece of blue-purple dragon-shaped arm bone was forcibly pulled out and flew into Zi Yan's hand.
"Is this an energy crystal that grew from within the bone?"
Zi Yan played with the soul bone while pursing her lips and saying:
"Hmm... the energy level is too low, but the hardness is acceptable."
"Perfect timing. My palace is missing a few floor tiles, and this bone will do."
"Uncle Hei Qing, let's take off his other bones too, so we can make a whole set."
"Alright, young clan leader!"
Upon hearing this, Hei Qing grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.
"No...no!"
"Kill me! Kill me!!"
Yu Yuanzhen wailed in despair.
As the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, he spent his entire life pursuing the collection of all six soul bones to achieve the true dragon form.
But now, in this terrifying world, his precious soul bone, which he cherishes as his life, has been used by someone to pave the floor!
Click! Click! Click!
Accompanied by the sound of bones shattering and Yu Yuanzhen's screams, pieces of soul bones were mercilessly stripped away.
The people of Douluo Continent felt a chill run through them as they watched this scene, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
That's so brutal!
That's so humiliating!
A dignified Title Douluo, the master of the upper sects, was not only insulted as a lizard, but his bones were also dismembered and used to pave the floor.
This is hardly a case of superior dimensional domination.
This is clearly putting the dignity of Douluo Continent under your feet and rubbing it repeatedly until it is crushed into powder!
...
Soon, the once arrogant patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, the level 95 titled Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, was revealed.
At this moment, he was limp in the void, just like a dead dog whose tendons had been pulled out.
He was covered in blood, and his once strong body was twisted and grotesque because he had lost the support of the soul bone. His limbs were folded in a horrifying way.
"Aaaaa, my soul bone!"
"That's the dragon soul bone I've been saving up all my life!!"
Yu Yuanzhen went mad. He watched as the purple-haired little girl picked out his prized soul bone with disdain, as if she were picking through rotten cabbages at a market.
"Tsk, only this piece still has some hardness."
Zi Yan wrinkled her delicate nose, casually tossed the right arm bone, which was radiating blue-purple lightning, to Hei Qing beside her, and then pointed to a gap in the entrance of the magnificent palace in the distance:
"Uncle Hei Qing, let's use this piece to patch up the steps over there. Even though the color is a bit earthy, let's not waste it."
"Okay!"
Hei Qing smiled simply, then waved his hand.
"Bang!"
And so, that 60,000-year-old soul bone, which was enough to cause a fight among titled Douluo powerhouses in the Douluo Continent, was slammed into the ground like a broken brick, becoming a paving stone for people to step on on East Dragon Island!
"To...to lay the floor?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Yu Yuanzhen's already blurred consciousness due to the intense pain completely collapsed.
His proud dragon bloodline was insulted as that of a lizard.
His precious, inherited soul bone, which he cherished as his life, was used to pave the floor.
"puff!!!"
Overwhelmed by anger, Yu Yuanzhen coughed up a column of blood half a meter high, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted completely in the cold void.
Although he didn't die, for a titled Douluo who valued honor above all else, living like this was a thousand times more cruel than being slowly sliced to death!
...
Meanwhile, in the Douluo Continent.
As Yu Yuanzhen fell unconscious, the scene in the sky slowly froze on the floor tile that was still flickering with faint lightning.
Immediately afterwards, the entire Douluo Continent was plunged into unprecedented turmoil.
Star Dou Forest, Core Area, Lake of Life.
The lake was originally a rippling blue, brimming with vibrant life.
But at this moment, the entire lake surface seemed to be boiling, churning wildly.
"roar!!"
The next second, a dragon's roar suddenly erupted from the bottom of the lake.
A colossal black dragon, over a hundred meters long, soared into the sky. It was none other than Di Tian, the Beast God, the leader of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts of the Douluo Continent, who possessed over eight hundred thousand years of cultivation!
However, this beast god, who usually commands immense power, did not display any of the demeanor of a strongman at this moment.
He circled in the air for only half a turn before he seemed to feel an absolute suppression from the depths of his soul. His massive dragon body trembled violently, and he eventually fell uncontrollably from the sky, crashing heavily onto the grass by the lake with a loud thud.
Ignoring the pain, he knelt on all fours, his massive dragon head pressed firmly against the ground, and made a standard kneeling bow towards the sky!
"Is that... the true aura of the Ancestral Dragon...?"
Di Tian's voice trembled, and the arrogance that once filled his golden dragon eyes had vanished, replaced by a tremor stemming from his bloodline instincts.
"It's terrifying, even if it's across a dimension, even if it's just a glimpse through a light screen..."
"That black dragon claw that emerged from the void—the sheer pressure emanating from just one scale was enough to suffocate my soul!"
"In front of that great one, the dragon bloodline within my so-called Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King is as thin as a drop of blood in a bowl of water!"
Beside Di Tian, the once calm lake water suddenly parted.
A woman dressed in a silver dress, with purple eyes and silver hair, and a face so beautiful it could eclipse the heavens and earth, slowly walked out.
She is the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena!
She is a supreme being who inherited half of the Dragon God's power and controls the elemental laws!
But at this moment, the usually aloof and indifferent expression on the face of this soul beast lord had been replaced by a deep sense of solemnity and self-doubt.
"That purple-haired girl..."
Gu Yuena's purple eyes were fixed on the frozen scene, her slender hands gripping the hem of her skirt tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.
"Although she has taken human form, I can clearly sense the power surging within her. It is a higher-dimensional dragon might that is purer and more ancient than that of the Dragon God!"
"Wait a minute... she actually used a 60,000-year-old soul bone as a floor tile?!"
Gu Yuena took a deep breath, her chest heaving, and said in a voice tinged with undisguised bitterness:
"In our Douluo Continent, soul bones are the condensation of the essence of a soul beast, and are spoils of war that humans show off after hunting us."
"But in that world, in the eyes of those true dragons, this kind of thing is just waste material for paving the ground?"
"What does this mean? It means that the energy level of that world is higher than we can imagine!"
"Perhaps in that purple-haired girl's eyes, even the soul bones left behind by ferocious beasts like us who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years are nothing more than slightly brighter pebbles."
She had been lying low for hundreds of thousands of years, originally hoping that one day she could lead the soul beast race to counterattack the god realm and rebuild the glory of the dragon race.
But now, after seeing the ancient dragon clan of that world, she suddenly felt like a nouveau riche who ruled the village and suddenly saw real royalty.
"Di Tian."
Gu Yuena's voice was somewhat ethereal:
"Do you think that if we go to that world... will we also be captured by those powerful figures like Yu Yuanzhen, and have our bones torn apart and used as a floor?"
Di Tian, kneeling on the ground, trembled, lowering his massive dragon head even further, his voice trembling with a hint of a sob:
"My lord, I do not know."
"But I have a feeling that if I activate the Dragon God Claw in front of that black-armored giant, he might just crush me to death."
...
In the far north, at the Ice and Snow Temple.
The cold wind howled, and the snow fell heavily.
This is a forbidden zone for humans, a domain of ice and snow.
Inside a palace sculpted from millennia-old ice, two stunningly beautiful figures stood frozen before the throne.
One of them was tall with long, white hair that reached her ankles. She had a cold and noble air about her, like an ice goddess descending to earth.
She is the Snow Empress, the leader of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, with 700,000 years of cultivation!
Beside her was a petite girl wearing a bright green dress and with lively twin ponytails.
She is the Ice Empress, one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, with 400,000 years of cultivation!
"Sister..."
Ice Empress's voice trembled, and her once proud and fiery emerald eyes were now filled with fear:
"Did you see that? That place called the Void Thunder Pool..."
"The space there was actually shattered, with black cracks everywhere that could tear apart soul beasts hundreds of thousands of years old!"
"But the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon patriarch, and that group of Ancient Void Dragons, actually lived in that kind of environment?!"
Ice Empress couldn't understand it.
In the far north, although the environment is harsh, at least the space is stable.
But even the living environment in that world was so terrifying!
Snow Empress's exquisitely beautiful face was now deathly pale.
She slowly raised her hand and caught a falling snowflake, her eyes glazed over as she said:
"Bing'er, this is not the worst thing."
"The most terrifying one is that burly man in black armor."
Snow Empress's voice was clear and cold, yet it carried a chill that penetrated to the bone:
"When he crushed Yu Yuanzhen's martial soul true body, he did not use any skills, nor did he draw upon the power of heaven and earth."
"He simply pinched it hard."
"The true form of a level 95 Title Douluo's martial soul! That's the defensive form of what's known as the number one beast martial soul on the continent!"
"He popped it like a bubble!"
"If we go there..."
The Snow Empress glanced at her proud Ice and Snow Maiden form and smiled bitterly:
"I'm afraid that black-armored giant won't even need to lift a finger; a mere aftershock from that void lightning pool would be enough to pulverize us."
"With our cultivation spanning hundreds of thousands of years, we probably wouldn't even qualify as pets in that higher-dimensional world."
"That world is too dangerous."
Upon hearing this, Ice Empress was so frightened that she immediately grabbed Snow Empress's leg and cried out in a tearful voice:
"Sister, I don't want to go to that world! I don't want to be forced to lay flooring! Waaaaah..."
In the wind and snow, two super ferocious beasts that had reigned supreme in the far north for hundreds of thousands of years now huddled together like two frightened little quails, shivering.
...
Clear Sky Sect, Clear Sky Peak.
This precipitous mountain, perpetually shrouded in mist and connected to the outside world by a few thick iron chains, is now shrouded in a deathly silence.
The atmosphere inside the main hall of the Clear Sky Sect was so oppressive it was suffocating.
Sect Master Tang Xiao, the level 96 Howling Sky Douluo, was standing in the center of the main hall, staring intently at the light screen. His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, and blood dripped onto the cold stone slab with a pattering sound.
