Crack!
With a forceful squeeze from the Divine King's massive hand, the Demonic Dragon King endured infinite pressure. Countless of its incredibly hard dragon scales shattered in an instant, and even its immensely sturdy dragon bones fractured in many places. A large amount of dark golden dragon blood slowly seeped out.
Under the supremely powerful Divine King's imposing might, the Demonic Dragon King couldn't muster even a shred of will to struggle or resist.
All of this was because Yu Hao was too powerful, surpassing ordinary Divine Kings by an immeasurable margin.
Boom!
The Divine King's hand released, and the Demonic Dragon King plummeted from the sky, causing the entire Mysterious Cold Lake to explode open, dyed a faint dark gold by the dragon blood.
Yu Hao looked down from on high, gazing imperiously at the Demonic Dragon King. "Do you still dare to resist me now?"
Though covered in blood, the Demonic Dragon King had not truly submitted. It lifted its massive dragon head, looking coldly at Yu Hao with unyielding defiance. "Hah, you think you can subdue this king to be your mount? You're truly dreaming."
"In this king's eyes, you're nothing but a brat still wet behind the ears. Even if you are a Divine King, you still cannot make this king submit."
Yu Hao's sword-like brows furrowed slightly. "Quite the tough bone. But this Divine King will see just how long you can hold out."
He acted again, using the power of a Second Calamity Divine King to forcibly drive the Demonic Dragon King deep beneath Mysterious Cold Lake. With a deafening roar, the entire Heavenly Dragon Continent nearly shook.
Mysterious Cold Lake was further stained red with the Demonic Dragon King's blood.
The terror of a Divine King's might was truly like this!
Under Yu Hao's absolute Divine King's imposing might, the Demonic Dragon King was utterly powerless to resist.
"Will you submit to this Divine King and become my mount?" Yu Hao spoke once more.
"I will not!"
The Demonic Dragon King refused. Even covered in blood, even with countless bones and tendons shattered, it still would not truly yield.
This was the dignity of the Dragon Race, the dignity of the Demonic Dragon King, the dignity of a Half-Step Divine King.
Yu Hao's patience was nearly worn out. A sharp, cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Good, very good. Since that's the case, today this Divine King will make an example of you to warn others, demonstrating the peerless power of a Divine King of this era. You shall be the one!"
The Divine King's imposing might upon his person suddenly soared skyward, becoming even more overwhelmingly powerful.
The space between his eyebrows shone brilliantly, giving birth to a humanoid form containing the essence of a Divine King. It now gleamed and vibrated, revealing a human-shaped mark resembling Yu Hao himself, as if another Yu Hao Divine King was buried within.
This was the power of Yu Hao's Divine King Mark. Today, he was determined to force the Demonic Dragon King into submission, even resorting to enslavement if necessary.
Once this Divine King Mark entered the Demonic Dragon King's brow, it would also imprint upon its soul, enslaving it for all eternity—a method both extremely forceful and vicious.
The Demonic Dragon King's expression changed. It naturally knew deeply the fearsome nature of such a Divine King Mark. But let alone its current state, even at its peak, it likely couldn't withstand it.
"Demonic Dragon King, be enslaved by this Divine King!"
Yu Hao shouted loudly, his voice shaking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths as it crashed down.
That Divine King Mark descended like Yu Hao's true self, a Divine King descending upon the Nine Heavens. Infinite imposing might crashed down, erupting with resplendent light, almost like a vast heavenly sun hanging in the sky, its pressure suppressing the Primordial Times.
Below, the Demonic Dragon King was covered in blood, countless dragon scales shattered, blood spraying everywhere—all from the imposing might of the Divine King Mark alone. One could imagine that if it truly descended, the dragon would absolutely be unable to withstand it.
Yet before the Demonic Dragon King could even attempt to evade, an extremely terrifying fluctuation erupted from the deepest part of the Heavenly Dragon Continent.
The next moment, it blossomed forth, vast and mighty, sweeping to this location.
Visible to the naked eye, a golden light shot out from that deepest region. It was only about ten feet long, yet its radiance was so brilliant, far more dazzling than the heavenly sun, as it streaked across the sky.
Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a dragon.
This dragon was a Primordial True Dragon, possessing the absolute form of a dragon. Moreover, its dragon's majesty surpassed even the Demonic Dragon King's. A long roar thick with draconic power accompanied it, tearing through the void as it arrived here in an instant, crashing heavily onto Yu Hao's Divine King Mark.
Boom!
Under the tremendous impact, caught off guard, Yu Hao's Divine King Mark exploded, shattering into infinite fragments.
Naturally, that True Dragon was also utterly annihilated.
"Who is it?" Yu Hao's voice thundered, his gaze like blazing lightning looking into the distance.
Simultaneously, a powerful imposing might erupted like lightning, like raging waves piling upon each other, ultimately sweeping over and fiercely impacting Yu Hao.
"An Ancient Divine King?"
Yu Hao's expression sharpened slightly. With a cold snort, the Divine King's imposing might upon his person erupted completely, thoroughly blocking that terrifying Divine King's power.
However, the collision of the two Divine King's imposing mights was like heaven collapsing and earth splitting, tearing this stretch of heaven and earth in two. A bottomless spatial rift, a black hole, appeared in the sky.
This spatial rift stretched for tens of thousands of miles, spanning both sides, surging with infinite chaotic fluctuations that sought to devour everything.
Yet at its edge, a burly figure abruptly appeared, towering and majestic like an iron pagoda, excessively robust and utterly unmoved by the spatial rift.
Whoosh!
It leaped forward, arriving above Mysterious Cold Lake in the blink of an eye.
"How dare you bully my Dragon Race as if we have no one!"
The newcomer was direct and brutal. In an instant, he was before Yu Hao, and a thick fist wrapped in world-destroying Divine King light hammered towards him.
Yu Hao's expression changed slightly. He also acted, his hands circulating light, Divine King light coalescing as he met the blow.
With a deafening roar, both forces exploded.
The entire Heavenly Dragon Continent was nearly blasted apart.
But a layer of light enveloped it, preventing it from shattering and collapsing.
The battle of two Divine Kings was not something the Heavenly Dragon Continent could withstand.
Yu Hao steadied his figure, standing straight as a spear, his Divine King's imposing might undiminished in the slightest. He focused his gaze on the burly man and said solemnly, "Who are you?"
He knew all the Ancient Divine Kings of the Wei Yang Great World, but he had never seen this Ancient Divine King before.
"Ancient Desolate Dragon Venerable," the burly man said. It was none other than the former Ancient Desolate Dragon. He bared his teeth in a grin, his terrifying imposing might wantonly rippling out.
Thirty years had passed. Relying on the Black Dragon Ancient Lord's corpse bestowed by Ye Chen, the Ancient Desolate Dragon had successfully taken that most crucial step, becoming a true Divine King existence.
Moreover, having obtained the complete Dragon Race inheritance and continuously refining the Black Dragon Ancient Lord's monarch-level dragon bones for thirty years, the Ancient Desolate Dragon was far from being a simple newly-ascended Divine King. His cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he was now at the Third Calamity Divine King level.
That's right, the Third Calamity Divine King.
If this news spread, it would surely shake the current era.
One must know that thirty years ago, the Ancient Desolate Dragon was merely a Half-Step Divine King. Now, after thirty years, he had actually crossed three minor realms at once to become a Third Calamity Divine King existence. It was simply inconceivable.
