Chapter 254: The Power of the Quasi-Emperor Demonic Corpse
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Waves of powerful energy spread out, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently.
The Northern Dragon King finally revealed his formidable strength—he was a Four-Star Dou Saint. However, he was only at the initial stage of Four-Star Dou Saint, two minor levels behind Xiao Tian. The other two Dragon Kings and the three Grand Elders also revealed their auras, being at the late stage of Three-Star Dou Saint and the mid-stage of Two-Star Dou Saint, respectively.
The power of the Ancient Dragon Clan was indeed formidable. Including Zi Yan and the commander of the Northern Dragon Island, there were eight Dou Saints here. Additionally, there were other strong members of the Ancient Dragon Clan cultivating in the void space, totaling at least a dozen Dou Saints, a power comparable to the Eight Ancient Clans. Unfortunately, after Zhu Kun was trapped in the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Mansion, the Ancient Dragon Clan was divided by these three ambitious individuals.
"Attack together!"
With a loud shout from the Northern Dragon King, six people simultaneously charged at Xiao Tian with fierce killing moves.
"Swish!"
With a thought, Xiao Tian summoned a thin, blackened figure in front of him. A golden light flew out from within Xiao Tian and entered the thin figure, taking control of it.
"Boom!"
Instantly, an aura that seemed to dominate the heavens burst out from this body, piercing through the nine heavens.
"What is this?"
At the moment they felt that aura, everyone fell to their knees with a thud. Even the three Dragon Kings and the three Grand Elders felt as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs.
"Bang!"
The figure threw a punch, and a terrifying wave of destruction swept out, seeming to destroy the world.
"Puff!"
With one blow, the six powerful Ancient Dragon Dou Saints spat blood and flew backward. Xiao Tian had not used his full strength; otherwise, the six would have been instantly blown apart.
"Swish!"
Xiao Tian flipped his right hand, and the Great Desolate Monument appeared. It then grew into a thousand-foot giant monument, directly suppressing the Northern Dragon King. The Northern Dragon King was the most vicious and powerful, and he possessed the forbidden Dragon Transformation Demon Array. If he were left alive, he would inevitably devour all the dragons to strengthen himself, which Xiao Tian could not allow.
Xiao Tian then looked at the remaining two Dragon Kings and three Grand Elders and asked, "Do you want to live or die?"
"We want to live!"
The others immediately responded in unison. No one wanted to die if they had a chance to live.
Xiao Tian said directly, "If you want to live, then open your souls and let me plant soul imprints in them."
"This..."
Hearing Xiao Tian's words, everyone frowned. After all, they were Dou Saints, and it was hard to accept handing over their lives to someone else.
"It seems you don't want to live. I'll send you to hell then!"
Xiao Tian said, and the demonic corpse slowly raised its fist, ready to strike again.
"We are willing! We are willing!"
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly said. They had witnessed the strength of that thin figure. If it continued to strike, they would have no chance of surviving. Although they disliked being controlled, it was better than dying. Given the chance to live, they would endure it.
"Buzz!"
The Grand Elder of the Northern Dragon Island was the first to release his soul, which condensed into a form of the Ancient Dragon in front of him. Xiao Tian's soul emerged, and a wisp of his soul, imbued with a different fire, formed a soul imprint in the depths of the elder's soul. Seeing someone take the lead, the other two Grand Elders also released their souls, letting Xiao Tian plant soul imprints in them. Finally, the two Dragon Kings reluctantly released their souls.
Once Xiao Tian controlled their souls, he said, "I know you are all unwilling, but in this world, the strong rule. I am stronger than you, so I can control your life and death." His eyes, filled with thunderous might, swept over the five, making their souls tremble.
Pausing, Xiao Tian continued, "However, rest assured, as long as you assist Zi Yan well in unifying the Ancient Dragon Clan, I won't harm you. But if you have any thoughts of rebellion, consider whether your lives are truly that hard."
"We dare not!"
The five of them pounded their chests in assurance.
Xiao Tian nodded and said, "Next, move your Dragon Islands back to their original positions and merge them with the Ancient Dragon Island!"
"Yes!"
The five responded.
Xiao Tian turned to Zi Yan and said, "Zi Yan, come here."
"Okay."
Zi Yan hurried over.
Xiao Tian took Zi Yan's jade hand and shouted to the others, "From now on, Zi Yan is the emperor of all the Ancient Dragons. Who approves and who opposes?"
"We greet the Dragon Emperor!"
The five immediately knelt in salute.
"We greet the Dragon Emperor!"
With their lead, the rest of the Ancient Dragon Clan also knelt down.
"Rise!"
Zi Yan said. Her voice was not loud, but it made the souls of the Ancient Dragons tremble. There was an irresistible pressure in Zi Yan's voice, stemming from their bloodlines and reaching their souls.
"Royal bloodline in full bloom!"
Feeling the pressure from Zi Yan's bloodline, many Ancient Dragons, who initially submitted under Xiao Tian's pressure, now genuinely accepted her. After all, in the beast clan, bloodline meant everything. A royal bloodline in full bloom was indeed worthy of being their emperor.
However, those with stronger cultivation, like the two Dragon Kings and the three Grand Elders, respected her out of necessity.
"By now, you all know that Zi Yan has refined the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit," Xiao Tian said to the crowd. "Zi Yan is now the Dragon Phoenix. Her future achievements will surpass the former Dragon Emperor and lead the Ancient Dragon Clan to new heights!"
"Long live the Dragon Emperor!"
"Long live the Dragon Emperor!"
The crowd shouted in unison, and their acceptance of Zi Yan as the Dragon Emperor grew. After all, it was said that an adult Dragon Phoenix could rival a Dou Emperor. Each appearance of a Dragon Phoenix marked the peak of the Ancient Dragon or Ancient Heavenly Phoenix clan.
Watching the scene, Zi Yan gratefully said to Xiao Tian, "Xiao Tian, thank you so much!"
Xiao Tian gently stroked Zi Yan's hand and smiled, "I am your husband. No need to thank me."
