"Imperial Dragon Qi... the Human Emperor's Rank... fresh blood and fortune... devouring you may mend my deficiencies and help me return to my supreme position in the Underworld!"

Two eerie green flames flickered in the eye sockets of the chaotic corpse.

It seemed to have developed a greedy desire for the imperial dragon energy on Huo Ling'er's body and was determined to devour it!

As the words fell.

The Chaos Corpse also made its move!

It didn't use any fancy footwork; it simply rushed straight down towards Huo Ling'er's location, carrying with it a terrifying aura of crushing everything, like a shooting star!

Wherever he went, the space itself was distorted by the dense laws of death and chaos!

"Hmph~, I'm not afraid of you!"

Huo Ling'er's pretty face turned pale, but there was no sign of backing down in her eyes.

As the Empress of the Fire Kingdom, it is her responsibility to protect her country and its people, even when facing such a terrifying enemy!

As she spoke, Huo Ling'er took a step forward and quickly formed hand seals!
"Imperial Dragon Qi, heed my command! Condense!"

With a delicate shout.

Deep beneath the Fire Kingdom's palace, the dragon vein connected to the nation's destiny suddenly trembled!
Immediately afterwards, streaks of crimson-gold imperial dragon energy rose up from all parts of the palace as if summoned, converging in front of Huo Ling'er at an astonishing speed!
"--hold head high!"

The dragon's roar shook the heavens and the earth!
Huo Ling'er formed hand seals, and her delicate body radiated a dazzling golden light.

Several crimson-gold divine dragons, formed entirely from the imperial dragon energy and the power of the Fire Kingdom's faith, raised their heads and roared before her.

Every scale on those golden dragons was clearly visible, radiating supreme majesty that suppressed mountains and rivers!
With the help of the Human Emperor's position, Huo Ling'er temporarily converted the faith and national fortune accumulated by the Fire Kingdom into her own, and her cultivation level instantly skyrocketed!

"go with!"

With a flick of her jade finger, Huo Ling'er caused the several golden dragons to open their mouths and let out a deafening roar. Then, carrying the imperial will to suppress everything, they suddenly rushed towards the chaotic corpse that was diving down!

However, faced with the awe-inspiring imperial dragon might, the chaotic corpse showed no intention of dodging!
"How dare a mere newly born imperial aura block the path to the Netherworld?"

"Disperse!"

The Chaos Corpse's divine sense resounded once more, filled with deep disdain.

It didn't even make any additional movements; the chaotic death energy swirling around it suddenly intensified and surged!

"—Hiss hiss hiss!"

The several imposing golden dragons emitted a piercing melting sound the moment they came into contact with the death aura surrounding the Chaos Corpse!
The immense faith and national destiny power contained within the Imperial Dragon Aura were actually directly eroded by the chaotic law power emanating from it.

But in the blink of an eye.

Those crimson-gold dragons crumbled into countless specks of light, which were then swallowed up completely by the chaotic death energy!

"--puff!"

Huo Ling'er let out a muffled groan, her delicate body trembled violently, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, clearly suffering a backlash.

The power she borrowed was broken, and she herself was injured.

"Hehehe... Pure human emperor bloodline, complete imperial status... It's even more delicious than I expected..."

The Chaos Corpse let out a chilling laugh, its swooping momentum undiminished, and a giant hand covered in bluish-gray dead skin was already grabbing down at Huo Ling'er's head!
Huo Ling'er's face was pale, but there was still no fear in her eyes.

She tried her best, but someone else hasn't made a move yet.

"Anyone who wants to mess with me, did they even ask me?"

Just as the Chaos Corpse's claws were about to touch Huo Ling'er's head,
A cold, low shout suddenly exploded in the air like a thunderclap!
The moment that sound resonated.

The space above the entire Fire Emperor Palace seemed to distort slightly.

The next instant, a slender figure appeared out of thin air, like a ghost, between the Chaos Corpse and Huo Ling'er, blocking the claw of death.

The person who arrived was none other than Zhu Chen.

He didn't use any fancy techniques; he simply twisted his waist, lowered his shoulders, swung his arm, and threw a punch!
This punch was simple and unadorned.

But just as the fist was thrown...

"--roar!!!"

A dragon's roar, seemingly from the primordial era, majestic and domineering to the extreme, suddenly erupted from his body!
His entire right arm was instantly enveloped in a dazzling golden aura of blood.

The blood energy was condensed to the extreme, and fine dragon scale patterns were faintly visible!

On the fist, a lifelike, enormous dragon head materialized!

The dragon's head was wide open in anger, its mouth holding the mandate of heaven, radiating a terrifying dragon might that could tear the sky apart!
This is the True Dragon Treasure Technique manifested by Zhu Chen drawing upon his own blood and energy.

Its power is far greater than those true dragon treasures manifested with magical power.

The force of his fist transformed into something resembling a true divine dragon!
"This is... one of the Ten Ferocious True Dragons?"

The Chaos Corpse's pupils throbbed violently.

It sensed a suppressive force originating from the level of life itself from the golden fist imprint and the phantom of the true dragon.

That is the power of the true dragon that can subdue all evil and dead things!

"--Bang!!!"

Zhu Chen's fist, enveloped in dazzling golden blood energy and the phantom of a true dragon, slammed solidly into the death claw that the chaotic corpse had brought down!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a muffled, heart-stopping thud that echoed through the void!
next moment.

The Chaos Corpse's death claws, powerful enough to shatter mountains and rivers, shattered inch by inch the instant they came into contact with the phantom of the true dragon!
An unimaginable, immense force, mixed with the blazing dragon blood energy as intense as the sun, surged into its body like a bursting dam, flowing down its arm!
"—Ugh!"

The Chaos Corpse looked up and let out a shrill, inhuman scream.

Then, its enormous body shot back at an even faster speed than it had come, crashing into a cliff hundreds of miles away from the Fire Emperor's Palace like a comet, turning the entire mountain range into dust!
"The cycle of Yin and Yang, refining eternity!"

Zhu Chen's offensive did not stop.

As he blasted the Chaos Corpse away with a punch, he raised his left hand, with black and white energy flowing in his palm, evolving into Yin and Yang, as if he were holding a miniature chaotic world!

This is the Yin and Yang energies that he evolved from the Kunpeng Treasure Technique.

"—Suppress and kill!"

Zhu Chen pressed down on the chaotic corpse that was flying backwards!
In an instant, the sky and the earth turned pale!

A black and white intertwined Tai Chi diagram appeared out of thin air above the Chaos Corpse, then rapidly expanded, instantly enveloping it!

The yin and yang energies rotated slowly like a millstone, unleashing a destructive power that could refine all things!
The death aura and chaotic mist surrounding the Chaos Corpse were as if they had encountered their nemesis, and were frantically extracted and refined by the Yin and Yang energies!

The remaining power of law at the wound on its chest began to wail under the crushing force of the Yin-Yang millstone!

"No... I am a warrior of the underworld... How could I perish here... Lord of the Underworld... Save me..."

The Chaos Corpse struggled wildly amidst the Yin and Yang energies, letting out desperate and unwilling roars, attempting to trigger deeper levels of the laws of the Netherworld.

However, Zhu Chen's True Dragon Treasure Technique had already severely damaged its foundation.

Now, the refining of Yin and Yang energies has only made things worse.

The Chaos Corpse's struggles were completely futile.
