914: To catch a thief, first catch his king! Kill this guy!

The vast projection of mountains and rivers twisted violently, on the verge of collapse; the once magnificent landscape now appeared fragmented and wretched.

Dragon Xuanyuan's entire Aura was like a candle in the wind, instantly plummeting to rock bottom; he fell directly from Half-Step Fourth Order back to the Peak of the Third Order, and it was still rapidly withering.

His face turned as pale as paper, his eyes revealing endless pain and unwillingness, as if the flame of his life were being extinguished bit by bit.

"Old Dragon!"

"Lord Xuanyuan!"

"Human Emperor!"

Bai Yuan, Baili Ziyuan, the Jade Spirit Ancestor Vine, and the surviving Yao Race emperors were incensed, their eyes filled with grief and rage.

"Hahahaha! Many thanks, Blood Consort, I won't be polite about taking the Star Core!"

Ding Lingxuan let out a triumphant and crazed shriek, the laughter sharp and ear-piercing.

Having devoured several Zerg Protectors, her Aura had already climbed to a terrifying critical point, and the energy fluctuations around her body were violent, as if they could erupt at any moment.

With a flick of her snake body, she suddenly turned, accompanied by the phantom of the Golden Giant Python, and lunged at high speed toward the heavily injured and teetering Dragon Xuanyuan, her eyes filled with greed and excitement as if victory were right before her.

The battlefield situation had undergone a cataclysmic change following the Skeleton Monarch's lethal strike and the final blows launched by the various monarchs at the cost of their lives.

Li Wuji and the Lord of Chaos, the two who were actively targeted, suffered unprecedented heavy injuries, and Dragon Xuanyuan was also caught in the crossfire.

But who could have imagined that Ding Lingxuan would suddenly launch an attack, and even the Sea King, for unknown reasons, had defected in the middle of battle.

The once relatively stable battle situation had now become chaotic, like an ocean in a storm, surging with waves and fraught with peril.

The Void Realm was wailing, as if the living beings of this world were weeping for this cruel war.

The shattered firmament, like the scales shedding from a dying giant beast, fell rustling into the boiling energy turbulence below.

Those turbulent energies churned, emitting scorching light, as if they were flames from Hell, ready to incinerate everything in this world.

The final strike of the seven monarchs burning their remaining Souls was like seven destructive stars crashing into the earth, the aftermath turning into a Chaos storm that tore everything apart, sweeping through every inch of space on the battlefield.

Wherever that storm passed, everything was destroyed; trees were uprooted, rocks were pulverized into powder, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"Ugh..."

Dragon Xuanyuan knelt on one knee at the core of his shattered domain of will, his body teetering as if a gentle breeze could blow him over.

The xuanyuan sword was deeply embedded into the twisted Void Realm fissure, barely supporting him from collapsing.

The two tentacles of depravity that pierced his back were like maggots on bones, clinging tightly to his body, crazily devouring the power of the Star Core that he had just fused and had not yet stabilized within him.

Every heartbeat was accompanied by the excruciating pain and weakness of having his power drained; that pain felt like torture from the depths of his Soul, making him wish for death.

The magnificent Dragon might of the Half-Step Fourth Order had long since dissipated, leaving only a dim light that was precarious even at the Peak of the Third Order, like a candle in the wind.

He raised his head, his golden eyes bloodshot from intense pain and rage, staring fixedly at Ding Lingxuan, who was tearing through space and lunging at him while shrouded in devouring golden light.

"Damn it!"

Bai Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and the long sword in his hand erupted with an unprecedentedly tragic and murderous Aura.

That Aura seemed capable of splitting mountains and shattering stones, making the surrounding enemies tremble with fear.

He desperately slashed at the pitch-black tentacles wrapped around Dragon Xuanyuan's back; the sword blade collided with the viscous, cold tentacles, emitting a teeth-gritting cutting sound, sparks flying everywhere, yet it was difficult to sever them for the moment.

Baili Ziyuan's grayish-white eyes flashed, and the next moment, the pitch-black death scythe swung toward the tentacles without the slightest hesitation.

His movements were clean and swift, without the slightest hesitation, as if this one swing of the scythe could sever all crises.

However, the tentacles were exceptionally troublesome, as if they had a life of their own, constantly twisting and dodging his attacks.

"Hmph, what a cunning little snake, but I, Blood Consort, am not a fool!!!"

The eyes on the Sea King's octopus head suddenly flickered with cruel and dull red light, and more viscous tentacles probed out from the Void Realm; those tentacles were dense, like the lair of a deep-sea monster.

They intertwined with each other, forming an airtight barrier, blocking the rescue attempts of Bai Yuan and Baili Ziyuan, while simultaneously deepening the erosion of Dragon Xuanyuan.

Each tentacle was like a hungry python, tightly wrapping around Dragon Xuanyuan, making it impossible for him to break free.

"Capture the ring-leader first, kill this guy!!"

The Desolate Heaven Battle Tiger roared, the sound causing the surrounding air to hum.

He dragged his scarred, battered body, burning his last bit of blood and Qi as he lunged toward the Sea King.

His body was covered in wounds, blood flowing ceaselessly, staining the ground beneath his feet red.

However, he did not retreat, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.

But just as he charged halfway, he was fiercely swatted away by several newly emerged tentacles, his tiger body exploding into a large mist of blood in the air.

That blood mist permeated the air, like a tragic painting, telling of the cruelty of war.

The Golden Light Divine Peng let out a mournful cry, its voice filled with pain and helplessness.

Its speed was also greatly reduced due to its injuries; once swift as the wind, it could now only fly slowly.

Its sharp claws could only leave shallow marks on the tentacles; those marks were insignificant and could not cause any substantial damage to the tentacles at all.

The remaining Yao Race emperors, burning their Yao Race Bloodline, were now like a group of lambs waiting for slaughter, bullied by anyone.

"Star Core! It's mine!"

Ding Lingxuan let out a sharp, ear-piercing shriek; this sound was like sharp blades, cutting through the already tense and oppressive air of the battlefield.

After devouring several Protectors, she had completely fallen into a state of madness and expansion.

Within her narrow, snake-like pupils, she was now completely occupied by an extreme greed, and the target of this greed was the dazzling Star Core within Dragon Xuanyuan's body.

That Star Core emitted a soft yet incredibly powerful light, as if it were the most precious Treasure Trove in the Universe, attracting all of Ding Lingxuan's attention.

Behind Ding Lingxuan, the phantom of the Golden Giant Python roared violently, the sound like rolling thunder, shaking everything around it.

It opened its huge snake mouth, as if it could swallow an entire mountain in one gulp.

A suction force so powerful it was suffocating surged out from the snake's mouth, like an invisible giant hand, firmly locking onto Dragon Xuanyuan.

Pulled by this suction force, Dragon Xuanyuan's body involuntarily moved slowly toward the direction of the snake's mouth, a hint of tension and resolve appearing on his face.

Just at this critical moment, just as Dragon Xuanyuan was about to be completely submerged by that terrifying devouring giant mouth!

Hum—!

A streak of emerald radiance, condensed to the extreme, carrying a resolute will to protect, like a meteor cutting through the desperate night sky, suddenly appeared between Dragon Xuanyuan and the devouring giant mouth.
