"Yes!"
Below, a full thirty-six divine ships lay across the Crimson Blood Lake, arranged in the formation of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars. On each divine ship sat a young genius of the Heavenly King Realm, cross-legged.
Then, from the crown of each of their heads shot forth a blazing pillar of divine light, formed from their essence, energy, and spirit, transforming into thick Order Divine Chains that clattered and rushed up into the firmament.
Visible to the naked eye, these Order Divine Chains formed from the young geniuses' essence, energy, and spirit were exceptionally thick, inscribed with special Great Dao runes that interwove in the void. Then, one by one, they intertwined like lightning around the Crimson Scale Demon Dragon's body, instantly pulling taut.
"Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars Formation, suppress the demon dragon!"
The thirty-six young geniuses shouted in unison, each erupting with blazing divine might. The thirty-six thick Order Divine Chains erupted with dazzling rays of light, containing a powerful force of suppression and sealing that traveled along the chains to bear down upon the Crimson Scale Demon Dragon.
This was using the might of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars to suppress the Crimson Scale Demon Dragon and seal the power within its body.
Roar—
The demon dragon roared. A significant portion of its power was suppressed, making it difficult to erupt fully. It continuously rolled and thrashed in the sky, shaking the heavens and cracking the void—truly terrifying.
It was trying to break all the Heavenly Stars Divine Chains binding it.
However, Hua Yuntian seized the opportunity to strike. He activated his nine strands of Imperial Dragon Qi, as if nine True Dragons were being born. In the world, nine True Dragon phantoms, each a thousand zhang long, appeared and entwined around the Crimson Scale Demon Dragon, forcefully suppressing it.
Truly worthy of being called the Imperial Dragon Qi with the strongest offensive power. Under the entanglement of the nine True Dragon phantoms, many of the Crimson Scale Demon Dragon's crimson scales shattered, and blood seeped from numerous parts of its body.
Even more, those True Dragon phantoms opened their bloody maws, biting through the crimson scale defense, tearing flesh until it was a bloody mess, dragon blood splattering.
"A mere false dragon dares contend with my Dragon Race!"
The Crimson Scale Demon Dragon roared. From its body erupted streaks of crimson-gold light, transforming into Order Divine Chains that swept across the world as it struggled fiercely. It actually managed to blast away all nine of the thousand-zhang True Dragon phantoms.
The thousand-zhang True Dragon phantoms transformed back into Imperial Dragon Qi, returning to Hua Yuntian.
Suffering a backlash, Hua Yuntian's complexion paled slightly, though the fire in his eyes remained blazing, filled with desire.
The Heavenly Stars Divine Chains were pulled taut, clattering loudly, many stretched straight as if they might snap at any moment.
Moreover, the Crimson Scale Demon Dragon was truly fearsome. Terrible Demon Dragon Fire surged from its body, actually flowing backwards along the thirty-six Order Divine Chains, burning these chains. It even sought to kill the thirty-six Heavenly King Realm geniuses maintaining the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars formation and break free from this predicament.
This scene immediately caused the thirty-six young geniuses to change color in an instant. If this Demon Dragon Fire spread to them, even these Heaven's Pride of the Heavenly King Realm would find it difficult to resist and would likely be burned to ashes.
"Everyone, activate the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars Grand Formation to resist!"
Hua Yuntian shouted. The thirty-six geniuses hurriedly activated the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars Grand Formation. In that instant, each genius seemed to transform into a Heavenly Star, releasing a special Heavenly Star power. This actually greatly increased the power of the thirty-six Order Divine Chains, and the spreading Demon Dragon Fire was significantly suppressed.
However, the Crimson Scale Demon Dragon was ultimately a Dragon Race existence at the Great Ability Realm, and the dragon blood flowing within its veins was quite pure—it was a super Dragon Race evolver. The Demon Dragon Fire still burned fiercely. The power of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars could only barely stop it, not completely prevent it, as it still slowly spread.
"What a fine Crimson Scale Demon Dragon. You truly haven't disappointed me."
Hua Yuntian laughed heartily, though the arrogance on his face grew even stronger. "However, the more you resist like this, the more I, this prince, desire the dragon soul, dragon pearl, and dragon blood within you. They will surely allow me to achieve a great leap in strength. Competing for the position of Imperial Sovereign won't be too difficult either."
A golden war spear appeared in his hand. Its entire length was entwined with nine True Dragons coiled around the shaft. Nine dragon heads formed the spear tip, resonating with the Imperial Dragon Qi on his body.
"Nine Dragons Annihilate Heaven Spear!"
With a great shout, Hua Yuntian brandished the Nine Dragons Golden Spear. The nine True Dragons immediately transformed into Primordial True Dragons, completely merging with the nine strands of Imperial Dragon Qi. Each became a three-thousand-zhang-long True Dragon, far more powerful than the phantoms conjured earlier. Soaring between heaven and earth, their dragon might was vast and majestic, as if these were not illusions but nine real Primordial True Dragons.
Ye Chen and Abenue in the distant sky sensed the rich Dragon Race aura. Both possessed part of the Dragon Origin, so they naturally felt the presence of the Dragon Race aura more clearly.
Moreover, each strand of Imperial Dragon Qi contained the soul of a Dragon Race being. Refining them into the Imperial Dragon Qi could greatly enhance its power.
The nine True Dragons coiled on the Nine Dragons Golden Spear were actually the dragon bodies of nine Dragon Race beings, also refined into the golden spear. Only when the Imperial Dragon Qi combined with the dragon bodies could they truly display their former complete state.
"What a ruthless Hua Yuntian, daring to hunt nine of my Dragon Race kin, refining them into a golden spear and Imperial Dragon Qi."
Abenue spoke, her tone carrying a hint of anger. Although she was still an alien insect race Mother Queen, she was evolving towards a pure-blooded True Dragon and possessed the most important Dragon Origin, making her half a pure-blooded True Dragon. Therefore, she was extremely enraged that someone would hunt the Dragon Race, strip their dragon souls, and refine them.
The five young geniuses were shocked. This stunningly beautiful, enchanting golden-haired woman was actually a member of the Dragon Race?
Ye Chen's expression also turned grave. How could he not see that Hua Yuntian's divine technique was currently incomplete? He probably wanted to hunt the Crimson Scale Demon Dragon to become the tenth strand of Imperial Dragon Qi, like breaking through the shackles of the ninth heaven to reach the tenth. This way, it might even allow Hua Yuntian to break through his own shackles, achieve great success in his divine technique, and gain some hope of mending the defects of the half-step Divine King Realm to become a Supreme Young Ruler.
"I want to take action!" Abenue stated bluntly.
Ye Chen did not stop her, only saying, "You may. However, even if they want to hunt this Crimson Scale Demon Dragon, it won't be so easy. Moreover, I sense a special scent on this Crimson Scale Demon Dragon. Perhaps it might lead to the whereabouts of something that interests me."
Something that even the Master finds interesting?
The three exchanged glances, but Abenue nodded solemnly, her pretty face serious. Everything would follow the Master's command.
However, the other five young geniuses immediately changed expressions and hurriedly said, "Divine Maiden, you absolutely must not take action! Hua Yuntian is a super genius on the Earth Ranking, and moreover the ninth prince of the Hua Clan Imperial Dynasty, of noble status beyond reproach. He cannot be touched, or it will invite a calamity of death."
