As the ten devil patterns lit up simultaneously, an aura so ferocious and suffocating that it could terrify even the boldest surged out from Xiao Yan's body. The two remaining Dragon Kings instantly changed expression, involuntarily retreating to the sides. A chilling premonition struck them — if that punch landed on them, it wouldn't just wound them; it could very well kill them on the spot!
"You two cowards!" the Northern Dragon King cursed angrily as he saw the other two back off. Even if Xiao Yan's punch carried monstrous power, he was still limited by his own cultivation level. The three of them working together could have completely blocked it. But now that the other two retreated, was he supposed to take the full force alone?
Truthfully, it wasn't that the Northern Dragon King didn't want to dodge — he was just as shaken by the might of Xiao Yan's punch. But he could feel that Xiao Yan's aura had already locked onto him. No matter where he fled, the punch would follow. If it was unavoidable, then there was only one thing left to do — face it head-on!
"I'd like to see just how fearsome your punch really is!" The Northern Dragon King's eyes turned cold. His right arm completely transformed into a dragon claw, glittering with golden light as a phantom dragon formed around it. It roared furiously, lunging at Xiao Yan with overwhelming momentum.
"Divine Dragon Shakes the Heavens!"
"That's... Divine Dragon Shakes the Heavens?" several elders of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan exclaimed in unison, their expressions turning grave. This technique was one of the high-grade Dou Techniques exclusive to their clan, a Heavenly Rank skill reserved only for elder-level cultivators. For the Northern Dragon King to use it now, given his half-step Four-Star Dou Saint cultivation, was a clear sign that Xiao Yan had forced him into a desperate corner.
"Nine Calamity Demon Fist!"
Xiao Yan's dark red energy surged violently around him as he launched his own strike. The air ahead turned pitch black under the pressure of his punch. The radiant golden dragon shadow was visibly collapsing under the terrifying force. After shattering the dragon phantom completely, Xiao Yan's fist didn't lose any of its momentum and smashed hard into the Northern Dragon King's chest.
Boom!
With a thunderous explosion, the Northern Dragon King spewed a mouthful of blood. His massive frame was blasted thousands of meters away like a broken kite. On the way, several North Dragon Island members tried to catch him, only to be pulverized by the residual force of that attack.
Finally, he crashed into a small floating island on the outskirts of Ancient Dragon Island. The terrifying impact caused the island to collapse entirely, reducing it to rubble.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of everyone from the three dragon islands twitched violently. The Southern and Western Dragon Kings were even more glad that they hadn't taken that punch themselves. If even the strongest of them couldn't block it, they surely would have ended up in worse shape.
From the ruins, the Northern Dragon King slowly crawled out, his clothes in tatters, his body soaked in blood. His chest was covered in shattered dragon scales. He looked utterly disheveled, a far cry from the commanding presence he had shown during the siege.
'He's still alive...?' Xiao Yan frowned slightly at the sight. Glancing down at the blood on his fist, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. 'The Ancient Void Dragon Clan really does have terrifying physical durability... Even taking a direct hit from the Nine Calamity Demon Fist didn't kill him outright.'
Meanwhile, the other dragons from the clan were left speechless, many swallowing nervously. Even after unleashing a top-tier Heavenly Rank technique like Divine Dragon Shakes the Heavens and wearing a full layer of dragon scale armor, the Northern Dragon King still ended up severely injured — it was almost too terrifying to imagine.
The Northern Dragon King lowered his gaze to his mangled body, his expression dark and brooding. With a sinister grin, he glared at Xiao Yan.
"You're indeed strong. If you survive today, we of the three islands will never know peace."
"Don't worry," Xiao Yan said calmly, shaking his head. "You won't have a future to worry about."
"...Very well! Looks like you truly intend to wipe us all out!" the Northern Dragon King growled. He then turned and shouted into the void, "Yao Tianxiao! Kun Huang! You didn't come here to just watch, did you?!"
"Hahaha, don't be so impatient, Brother Bei. We're here, aren't we?" A swirl of space suddenly appeared in the void, and several figures emerged. Below, shocked gasps erupted.
"That's... the clan leader and great elder of the Nine Nether Earth Serpent Clan! And the three Phoenix Princesses from the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan!"
"You bastards! Bringing in outsiders to attack your own people — do you still have the right to call yourselves members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan?!" roared Elder Zhuohuo. He glared coldly at Lieshan and Zhumu, growling, "Or have you forgotten? The Ancient Void Dragon Clan and the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan are sworn enemies!"
Zhumu and Lieshan's faces twitched awkwardly but said nothing. At their level, mere words weren't enough to sway them. They remained focused on blocking Zhuohuo and the others.
"Four One-Star Dou Saints and one Two-Star Dou Saint? Not a very impressive reinforcement lineup," Xiao Yan said casually, giving the new arrivals a sidelong glance.
"You can act tough all you want. Once we capture you, we'll make sure you regret it!" the Northern Dragon King sneered.
"What? Want another taste of my fist?" Xiao Yan looked at him indifferently.
The Northern Dragon King instinctively took a step back but quickly recovered, barking coldly, "Hmph! I don't believe you can handle so many Dou Saints all on your own!"
"It would be troublesome indeed to face all of you alone." Xiao Yan nodded thoughtfully. Then he smiled. "But... who told you I was alone?"
Before Yao Tianxiao and the others could react, a vast surge of soul power erupted. It forced them back several kilometers. The space in front of them twisted, and a figure composed entirely of soul energy materialized, standing between them and Xiao Yan. That figure... had the exact same appearance as Xiao Yan!
"A soul clone?" gasped the crowd in shock.
"A soul clone... at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm?"
