"It still came in the end. Karma and reckoning are inevitable."
When he saw the Heaven-Shrouding Dragon Claw, Long Chen's heart sank. What he had feared had finally come true.
"Boom!"
The dragon claw descended, carrying the force to destroy heaven and earth. With one strike, it shattered the sky, piercing through the countless calamity clouds. Most terrifyingly, this strike carried supreme dragon might, captivating the soul and awe—a crushing force born from soul and will.
The dragon claw gripped the barrier of the Dragonblood Legion. This barrier was invincible against all thunder beast attacks, but before that claw, it was weak and shattered with a single blow.
The Dragonblood warriors inside the barrier trembled violently, blood spraying wildly. Even if everyone tried to withstand the blow together, they still couldn't withstand it.
"It's that senior of the imperial clan!"
Guo Ran and the others' faces changed dramatically. They had been fiercely battling the imperial clan experts inside the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, and were extremely sensitive to his aura.
"This is the final tribulation. Let's all fight together." Gu Yang shouted loudly.
"Boom!"
Just as Gu Yang finished shouting, a tall figure wearing a crown, exuding imperial aura, appeared before him and smashed a punch down on his face.
That person was none other than the powerful imperial clan warrior. He had been copied by the heavenly tribulation, and with this punch, the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed.
Faced with such a terrifying punch, Gu Yang didn't dare to take it head-on. But to his shock, the moment the imperial clan expert threw his punch, his body involuntarily moved closer to the opponent's punch.
"Watch out."
Seeing Gu Yang in danger, Guo Ran was closest and was the first to rush at him. This guy actually used his own back to block the punch for Gu Yang.
"Boom!"
The fists of the imperial clan powerhouse slammed hard into Guo Ran's back. With a thunderous explosion, the triple layers of scales covering Guo Ran's back burst open, blood spraying wildly as it slammed into Gu Yang, sending the two of them tumbling far away.
"Guo Ran..."
Gu Yang was shocked. Guo Ran crashed into him, and stars appeared before his eyes. Ninety percent of the power of a punch from an imperial clan expert was absorbed by Guo Ran, while Gu Ran had only taken a tiny fraction of it.
Even this tiny fraction possessed such terrifying power, so the force Guo Ran endured was simply unimaginable.
"Cough, cough, cough... Guo
Ran coughed up blood. Seeing Guo Ran cough blood, Gu Yang actually felt relieved. He was truly afraid Guo Ran would be killed with a single punch; if that happened, he would never be able to rest in peace.
"Heh heh, my Guo Ran has the best defense in the world. This punch is just tickling an itch... Ahem... Guo Ran tried his best to pretend nothing was wrong, but he still couldn't stop coughing up blood.
Gu Yang looked at his back and saw a large hole in his scales, and that punch nearly blew him apart.
"Good brother, you rest for a bit. Leave the rest to us!" Gu Yang patted Guo Ran on the shoulder, gritted his teeth, and rushed out.
Just as Gu Yang left, several beams of divine light indeed fell on Guo Ran. Guo Ran immediately felt invigorated, and his wound began to heal rapidly.
It turned out that the medical team's healing techniques had arrived. However, Guo Ran's injuries were too severe to heal immediately, but this had already restored some of his combat strength.
Guo Ran, who had not fully recovered, also rushed out. He knew that among those undergoing tribulation, no one but himself could withstand a strike from an imperial clan expert. He had to step forward.
"Boom boom boom... At
this moment, the Dragon Blood warriors charged at the Imperial Clan experts, but were sent flying with a single gesture, each one utterly disheveled, clearly no match for the Imperial Clan expert.
The imperial clan powerhouses during the tribulation seemed even stronger than at the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. With a wave of their hand, thunder struck for miles, shattering heaven and earth, and no one could get close.
"Watch out in the sky,"
Long Chen suddenly shouted loudly.
At that moment, the dragonblood warriors, who were fiercely battling the imperial clan experts, were shocked to discover the appearance of a sky-covering dragon head, its mouth wide open, already aimed at everyone.
Before Long Chen reminded them, no one sensed anything. Their attention was entirely focused on the imperial clan powerhouse. Now, seeing the huge dragon head and the rapidly expanding spherical lightning from its mouth, everyone felt as if their souls were about to be drawn out.
"This is deadly!"
Everyone gasped. That imperial clan expert actually had a strange phenomenon. The previous dragon claw strike had come from an imperial clan expert, but now they understood it was an attack from the phenomenon.
At the same time, they discovered something utterly desperate: they not only had to deal with the powerful members of the imperial clan, but also against his phenomenon.
A single imperial clan powerhouse had already killed them so much they nearly begged for mercy, and with the True Dragon phenomenon, they were left with no chance of survival.
At that moment, everyone was terrified. Even though they were battle-hardened, fearless of death, and could always remain calm, they couldn't think of any way to resist.
"Buzz"
From the enormous dragon's mouth above the heavens, the spherical lightning grew larger and larger. Endless thunder runes converged, and as the colorful thunder rolled, it emitted a piercing sonic boom.
That sonic boom echoed through heaven and earth, like a prelude to death and destruction, sending chills down one's spine. Before it, everyone seemed as insignificant as an ant.
Guo Ran was also dumbfounded. Although he had previously caught a punch from an imperial clan expert and saved Gu Yang, he knew he couldn't withstand this strike.
Even if he had the will to fight to the death, it would be like trying to stop a chariot—useless, unable to change the fate of the Dragonblood Legion's destruction.
"What should we do?"
At that moment, not only was Guo Ran anxious, but Yue Zifeng also broke out in a cold sweat. He clearly sensed the world-destroying power of the thunderball.
If he went all out, he might be able to split the sphere apart, but it was meaningless. The power inside the sphere was crystallized to the extreme. Even if it was severed, it couldn't explode. It would still fall, and everyone could not escape destruction.
The other Dragonblood warriors were still working together to attack the imperial clan's powerhouses. Their purpose was to prevent him from interfering with Yue Zifeng, Guo Ran, Xia Chen, and the others.
The Dragonblood Legion had fallen into danger countless times, but they never gave up. They knew what they should do, trusted the wisdom of their leaders, and all they could do was do what they were meant to do.
At this moment, Guo Ran, Yue Zifeng, Xia Chen, Gu Yang, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and others felt their scalps tingle. Faced with the long-accumulated destructive divine power, they found they couldn't come up with any solution.
"Boss... Guo
Ran shouted. Long Chen had become their greatest hope now. If they wanted to turn this crisis around, only Long Chen could intervene. However, if Long Chen acted, it could bring even greater disaster. But at this critical moment, he could only focus on the present.
"Xiao Le, it's time for you to make your move." Long Chen calmly shouted to Bai Xiaole, who looked terrified in the crowd.
"Me?" Bai Xiaole was shocked.
"No doubt, only you can resolve this crisis!" Long Chen shouted.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the dragon's head in the heavens suddenly lit up, its mouth wide open, and a ball of thunder like a star roared toward it.
