While blocking all the aftershocks of energy, Xiao Ling's gaze had already pierced through the barrier formed by spatial power, firmly locking onto the center of the energy torrent explosion.

At this moment, that area was already a state of pure chaos.

The extremely violent battle qi and the completely torn void were mixed into a mess. The chaotic energy storm was like a boiling vortex, stirring wildly. Even the perception of a Dou Sheng level was shattered, making it impossible to penetrate the bizarre and chaotic currents, let alone see the scene inside.

But Xiao Ling's eyes were unusually calm, as if they could penetrate this chaos.

With the support of his extraordinary mental strength, his perception was like an invisible thorn, forcefully piercing through this bizarre and chaotic world.

At the epicenter of the explosion, space had already shattered into dust, with countless deep cracks spreading like venomous snakes. Each crack was filled with chaotic energy powerful enough to devour souls, resembling a vivid scene of world destruction.

This scene was extremely dangerous. The aftershocks of energy and the spatial rifts tore at and reinforced each other, turning this place into a desolate wasteland where even light could be swallowed up.

If an ordinary Battle Saint were to rashly enter, he would likely be tormented and left in a sorry state by the violent energy aftershocks and distorted space.

Deep within this chaotic wasteland, Xiao Ling's senses, like eyes piercing through the mist, clearly locked onto four auras.

Three of them were in a sorry state, their breaths coming in fits and starts. He recognized them immediately; they were the three great dragon kings!
It is clear from Xiao Ziyan's attack that they suffered a great loss and were seriously injured.

The other aura, even stronger and more domineering, was one that Xiao Ling was all too familiar with—it was none other than Zi Yan.

However, what was strange was that Xiao Ling clearly sensed that Zi Yan was in an exceptionally good state at the moment, which was in stark contrast to the disheveled state of the three dragon kings. It was as if the aftershocks of the earth-shattering explosion had not affected her at all.

This made Xiao Ling think to himself: How could she have survived such a powerful impact at such close range without any damage?

He had initially felt a slight worry, but after confirming that Zi Yan was safe and sound, that worry turned into deep doubt.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Ling guessed that Zi Yan must have used some extremely powerful defensive fighting technique to protect herself from the terrifying energy explosion.

But on second thought, this situation is actually quite reasonable.

Although Zi Yan's personality can sometimes seem reckless, she is by no means a reckless person and will not do anything rashly without being sure of success.

She must have had a means to protect herself before she would have carried out such a dangerous operation.

At this moment, those three slightly disordered auras were showing signs of exerting all their strength.

The three dragon kings were twisting their bodies at an extremely fast speed, flying upwards, clearly trying to escape this dangerous area where energy ripples were spreading endlessly as soon as possible.

At the same time, Xiao Ling could also sense Zi Yan's aura. The pair of broad phoenix wings behind her flapped powerfully, and she was also calmly flying away from this area. However, her ease and composure formed a stark contrast with the scene of the other three dragon kings fleeing in a sorry state.

In the blink of an eye, three enormous dragon shadows burst out of the chaotic energy core.

As soon as they appeared, everyone could see the miserable state of the three dragon kings.

The lightning patterns on the Western Dragon King's body had dimmed considerably, and several of its hardest reverse scales had cracked, with purplish-black dragon blood gushing out from the gaps in its scales.

The Dragon King of the South had bloodshot eyes, and a deep wound on his left wing that revealed the bone was constantly oozing blood. Every flap of his wings was accompanied by unbearable trembling.

The black aura surrounding the Northern Dragon King almost dissipated, and its once sky-covering dragon body shrank by nearly 30%, revealing pale flesh where its scales had fallen off, twitching slightly in the void.

All three were exhausted, their purple-gold radiance dimmed like a flickering candle, and all traces of their previous domineering power remained, replaced by the panic of surviving a calamity.

Just as they staggered and flew away, a figure enveloped in a purple-gold halo followed closely behind, emerging from the turbulent currents.

Zi Yan flapped the Phoenix Wings behind her. The light particles on the golden feathers were still dazzling, and the dragon scale patterns on the dark purple gauntlets, though stained with some energy dust, were completely undamaged.

She stood in the void, her posture as upright as a pine tree, her aura as steady as an abyss. Not only did she show no signs of fatigue, but the fighting spirit in her eyes burned even brighter, creating a stark contrast with the disheveled state of the three dragon kings.

This scene, witnessed by those around them, instantly stirred up a huge wave of discussion.

The Dragon Armor Army of Donglong Island was first stunned, then erupted in deafening cheers!

"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor is mighty!"

"Even the three Dragon Kings combined were beaten to this state!"

They stared intently at Zi Yan's composed figure, their previously anxious hearts finally settling down, their chests surging with indescribable excitement and exhilaration.

Their own Dragon Emperor had managed to gain such an absolute advantage against three opponents, a feat that made their blood boil. Their eyes were filled with fervent admiration as they looked at Zi Yan. This young Dragon Emperor truly deserved the title of "Supreme Dragon Phoenix," and was capable of leading them to crush all powerful enemies!
Meanwhile, the Mishima Allied Forces were deathly silent.

The color drained from the faces of countless soldiers of the Long family army in an instant, and their pupils contracted violently in horror.

They watched as the three dragon kings joined forces to launch a fierce attack, but they never expected that they would end up fleeing in such a sorry state in the blink of an eye. Their wounded dragon bodies and dissipated auras told the story of the fierce collision just now, as well as Zi Yan's unfathomable and terrifying strength.

Panic spread like a plague among the allied forces. Hands gripping weapons began to tremble uncontrollably. If they couldn't even defeat the three Dragon Kings, how long could they hold out after the three Dragon Kings were completely defeated by the new Dragon Emperor?
At this moment, almost everyone's heart was completely overwhelmed by a surge of regret.

Looking at the composed purple-gold figure standing in the void, at the phoenix wings spreading behind her, and then at the disheveled state of their three dragon kings, they felt as if their internal organs were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.

If they had known earlier that this new Dragon Emperor not only possessed terrifying strength that could crush a three-star Dou Sheng, but was also the Supreme Dragon Phoenix that only existed in legends in the world of monsters, they should have done everything in their power to abandon darkness and embrace the light, even at the risk of being purged, let alone the coercion of the Three Islands Alliance!
But now, it's too late.

They were like ants on a hot pan, anxiously waiting in place, with no room to struggle at all.

Their future fate will likely depend entirely on the Dragon Emperor's whim and the attitude of Donglong Island.

"If only I had known this would happen..." Someone murmured in the allied ranks, their voice filled with despair and bitterness, instantly striking a chord with everyone present.

Those soldiers who had previously clamored to "annihilate Donglong Island" now felt a burning pain in their cheeks and were filled with regret.

Even some of the powerful commanders in the Three Islands Allied Forces were speechless after hearing these unlucky words. Their thoughts were no different from those of most of the soldiers; they didn't believe the three Dragon Kings had much of a chance of winning.

……

As soon as the three dragon kings rushed out of the chaotic area, they sensed the blazing aura that followed them like a shadow.

With difficulty, they turned their dragon heads, and when they saw Zi Yan standing calmly in the void, her Phoenix Wings intact, her aura even stronger than before, and not a single strand of her hair disheveled, a bitter expression appeared on the three dragon faces covered with scales.

Previously, the three of them had discussed that, relying on their rich experience of having reached the Dou Sheng realm a thousand years earlier, and with their tacit understanding as a team, they believed that even though Zi Yan's cultivation had reached the five-star Dou Sheng level, they could still hold her off for a while by surrounding her, and even find an opportunity to severely injure her.

But now it seems that those plans have become a joke.

Zi Yan's domineering punch that shattered the energy core, her speed that far surpassed that of the Ancient Void Dragon, and her current effortless demeanor all mocked their overestimation of their abilities.

Not to mention her "Supreme Dragon Phoenix" bloodline, which completely overturned their understanding of the Ancient Dragon of the Void, catching them completely off guard. That was a supreme bloodline that even the ancient books of the ancient dragon clan only dared to vaguely mention, yet it actually appeared in this generation's Dragon Emperor.

Seeing that the three dragon kings had finally stopped their hasty escape, Zi Yan slowly retracted the flapping of her Heavenly Phoenix Wings.

Golden light flowed slowly along the edges of the feathers, making her figure appear even more upright.

She gazed at the three enormous yet disheveled dragon bodies before her, her eyebrows slightly raised, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips.

A clear, crisp voice pierced through the void, carrying a hint of nonchalant mockery: "Why aren't you running anymore? Or are you planning to surrender?"

He paused, then his tone suddenly turned stern: "However, even if you surrender now, I have no intention of letting you go. Daring to instigate a rebellion among the Ancient Dragon Clan, resulting in the current division of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan into four, your crimes deserve a thousand deaths!"

The moment Zi Yan finished speaking, the three Dragon Kings, who had been trying to force a more conciliatory expression, froze.

In the brief moment of their escape, they had already begun to plan their next move. As they all belonged to the same lineage of the Ancient Dragon of the Void, they were bound by some blood ties.

If one were to soften one's stance and say a few kind words, perhaps the new Dragon Emperor would lower his guard slightly. Then, by feigning compliance and pretending to submit, one could find an opportunity to escape.

As for true loyalty? That's absolutely impossible.

They have been ruling their respective islands for thousands of years and are used to supreme authority. How could they possibly bow down and submit to a young dragon emperor who suddenly appears?
But right now, Zi Yan's words were like a sharp blade tempered with ice, directly piercing through their little schemes, leaving no room for maneuver whatsoever.

The three dragon kings exchanged a glance, and in each other's crimson dragon eyes they saw a resolute determination.

The Southern Dragon King roared in a deep voice, his dragon claw clenching fiercely in the void: "Since that's the case, then don't blame us for not showing any mercy due to blood ties!"

The Western Dragon King's expression was also solemn, his eyes fixed sharply on Zi Yan:

"Although the three of us suffered a great loss at your hands before, it will not be easy to defeat us again! If you want to secure the position of Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Dragon Clan, you must show some real skills! Today, let us see if you are qualified!"

With no way out, the only option is to fight to the death.

However, compared to the ruthlessness of the Western Dragon King and the decisiveness of the Southern Dragon King, the Northern Dragon King's appearance at this moment seemed somewhat strange.

It also adopted a posture of giving it its all, with the black aura surging around it even more intense than before, and its dragon claws even gleaming with a chilling light when clenched tightly. At first glance, it was no different from the other two dragon kings.

But none of this escaped Xiao Ling's extremely keen perception.

His gaze pierced through the void, precisely catching a fleeting glimpse of something unusual deep within the Northern Dragon King's eyes. It was a calculation hidden beneath ruthlessness, a cunning concealed within resolute determination, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, quietly waiting for the right moment to strike.

Xiao Ling frowned slightly; the Northern Dragon King's thoughts were clearly much more complicated than the other two.

It seems we need to be more careful in the future to avoid any more trouble.

However, Zi Yan's domineering punch that shattered the energy core and her composure when facing the three Dragon Kings working together did relax Xiao Ling's tense nerves a little.

In his view, Zi Yan had already gained an absolute advantage. With the strength she was currently displaying, she could probably easily suppress these three Dragon Kings, who were already injured and whose morale was waning, leaving them with no power to resist.

Therefore, Xiao Ling did not intend to intervene too much. He simply stood quietly in front of the Donglong Island camp, keeping his eyes fixed on the center of the battlefield, secretly observing the changes in the situation.

He only needs to stay by his side to prevent any unexpected changes from occurring.

Moreover, with all the ancient dragon clan members of the Four Directions Dragon Island as witnesses, Zi Yan personally ending the lives of these three dragon kings with her own strength is undoubtedly the best way to establish her authority.

As long as Zi Yan displays absolute overwhelming strength, this deterrent power will be enough to intimidate all onlookers.

Once the dust settles and the forces of the other three islands are incorporated, the results of today's battle will give the ancient dragons of the other three islands a clear understanding of the situation and a genuine sense of awe for this Dragon Emperor.

At that time, the integration of Sifanglong Island will truly be a natural process, without any further obstacles.

Seeing the three Dragon Kings adopting a desperate stance, Zi Yan not only did not back down in the slightest, but her expression became even more solemn, and the purple-gold battle qi around her surged even more intensely.

Her voice echoed in the void, carrying an undeniable authority:

"Since you want to know if I am qualified, then I will end you with my own hands as the first step I take as the new Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void."

"I will use the downfall of you three sinners who betrayed your race and instigated internal strife to commemorate all the past conflicts on Ancient Dragon Island."

The moment her words fell, the Phoenix Wings behind her flapped violently, golden light particles rained down like a storm, and the supreme dragon-phoenix aura emanating from her surged dramatically, almost causing the entire void to sink:

"Once the dust settles, under my leadership, the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void will surely break free from its past shackles and stride towards glory once more!" (End of Chapter)
