Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Something strange happened.

As this sound fell.

The surrounding space seemed to have been immersed in endless viscous amber, instantly freezing.

The God of Destruction's purple-black lightning spear was only half a meter away from the Silver Dragon King's scarred neck scales, its violent destructive energy twisting wildly at its tip.

But it was as if frozen, unable to advance even an inch further.

The resilient vines controlled by the Goddess of Life were now frozen in mid-air, not even the slightest tremor remaining.

The life force flowing on the vines solidified, like patterns inlaid in jade.

The countless platinum spiritual rays emitted by the God of Kindness were now suspended at the edge of the sea of ​​consciousness, their light no longer flickering.

The evil god's gray, corrosive energy, like a leech, clung to the Silver Dragon King's bleeding wounds.

The hissing sound of corrosion stopped abruptly, and the billowing gray mist froze like a frozen dark cloud.

Even the dark spatial rifts that were constantly being torn apart and mended by the terrifying energy impact froze at that moment, like eternal scars on a broken mirror.

This sealed-off area fell into a deathly silence.

The wind stopped flowing, the dust floated and froze, and even the sound disappeared, leaving only a vacuum-like silence.

This is not a complete standstill of time.

If any being beyond the level of a god-king could retain a trace of perception in this frozen spacetime, they would "see" that time is flowing at a speed of trillions of times slower.

The deadly lightning spear's energy particles were still moving extremely slowly at a microscopic scale, but relative to the normal flow of time, its speed was almost negligible.

The energy of destruction still exists, and the process of destruction continues, only it is stretched infinitely long, so long that it is no different from stillness for anything on the battlefield.

Only three figures were unbound by this stagnant space-time.

Ye Chen stood calmly in place, as if he had only done a trivial thing.

Beside him, Hyotei and Yukitei were also unaffected.

Hyotei stared wide-eyed at the miraculous scene before her, her small mouth slightly agape. Her face was filled with shock as she instinctively gripped Ye Chen's clothes.

Xue Di also slightly opened her mouth, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Even though she was usually aloof, she was deeply shocked by what she saw, and her worldview was completely changed.

She knew Ye Chen might be very strong, but she never expected him to be this powerful.

Those five terrifying beings, any one of them far surpasses the Silver Dragon King.

At this moment, they were easily frozen by Ye Chen, unable to move an inch, and even unable to resist.

On the ground, the enormous, mountain-like body of the Silver Dragon King rapidly shrank and solidified amidst a soft and strange halo of light.

As the silver light faded, what appeared in the same spot was no longer the majestic and scarred dragon, but the silver-haired woman in a purple dress who had once appeared in Ye Chen's spiritual sea.

At this moment, although she looked disheveled, she possessed a touch of poignant beauty.

The once gorgeous and dazzling purple dress was now tattered and stained a dark, dirty color with dragon blood and dust, torn in many places, revealing terrible wounds that were deep enough to expose bone.

Her once dazzling, hip-length silver hair, as brilliant as a cascading waterfall, had lost its luster, turning snow-white and sticking together with dark red blood clots. A few strands of hair clung pathetically to her pale, paper-like cheeks.

Bloodstains remained on her face and at the corners of her mouth, and her delicate features were tightly furrowed due to the excruciating pain and weakness.

The burning anger and arrogance that had been in his purple eyes were now replaced by a look of horror.

The Silver Dragon King struggled to raise his head, his purple eyes fixed on the five god-king figures frozen in the quagmire of time, his heart filled with horror.

The combined attack of the five great god-kings was something even she, in her prime, could not withstand.

And now, this attack, which was enough to easily injure a god-king, has been paused so casually.

Her gaze fell upon Ye Chen, filled with an almost instinctive sense of awe.

She knew Ye Chen was very strong, but she also felt that Ye Chen had just become a god and his strength was limited, so he shouldn't be stronger than the Dragon God.

As the Silver Dragon King, she possessed her own pride.

Given time to develop, she might even have the chance to devour the Golden Dragon King and rebuild the glory of the Dragon God in the future, and she will definitely not be weaker than Ye Chen.

Now, with Ye Chen's intervention, she finally understood what true power meant...

Ye Chen's power has already exceeded her comprehension.

This is not a simple difference in strength, but an absolute crushing defeat in the dimension of rule control!

With a single thought, the five great god-kings who held the power of the divine realm were frozen in place like puppets on strings.

Those five high and mighty god-kings appeared so insignificant and powerless before him.

Her self-righteous pride was utterly laughable in the face of Ye Chen's terrifying talent and power...

She also comprehended the spatial rules, which are on par with the rules of time, and even mastered them to an extremely high degree.

However, faced with the spatial blockade set up by the five great god-kings, she could not budge it even slightly despite her best efforts, and ultimately ended up in such a wretched and dying state.

Ye Chen, however, used his control over time to freeze everything with ease.

The difference is more than just a world apart.
It's an insurmountable chasm!

No wonder the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor hold Ye Chen in such high esteem and awe. Such a prodigy, even without her as his soul spirit, would have achieved limitless heights.

Being chosen as a spirit by the other party is, in a sense, a stroke of luck.

"It's not so shameful to acknowledge such a powerful figure as my master..." the Silver Dragon King thought to himself. Although he still felt ashamed and indignant, he no longer felt the same rejection and resentment.

Just then, Ye Chen made a move.

He took a step forward, seemingly ignoring the barriers of space, and instantly arrived in front of the heavily injured and weakened Silver Dragon King.

"From today onwards, you are my dragon, and I will protect you."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, then reached out and pulled the Silver Dragon King up, gently embracing him.

"Um...I...I understand..."

The Silver Dragon King turned his head away, avoiding Ye Chen's gaze, seemingly not wanting him to see the weakness that might be showing in his eyes at this moment.

Two extremely faint blushes quietly rose on her pale, blood-stained cheeks.

Feeling Ye Chen's warm chest and the familiar blood in his veins, she inexplicably felt no resistance. Her body went limp, and she collapsed into Ye Chen's arms, completely losing consciousness.

Ye Chen looked up, his gaze calmly sweeping over the five statues in the distance, as if he were looking at a still painting.

He snapped his fingers lightly.

"Crack~"

The crisp sound wasn't loud, but it was like an invisible key that instantly turned the lock of time.

The "time amber" that enveloped the heavens and earth began to slowly recede like the tide.

The flow of time was instantly restored under Ye Chen's will.

"Rumble--"

The terrifying attack from the Four Divine Kings lost its target and, carrying world-destroying power, crashed heavily into the empty space where the Silver Dragon King had been standing.

The deafening explosion resounded throughout the world.

The violent energy storm erupted instantly, like a volcano that had been suppressed for millions of years.

The earth trembled violently and cracked, and space shattered like fragile glass, revealing the churning chaotic currents behind it.

The blinding light engulfed everything, and the shockwave spread out in a ring, easily flattening the surrounding mountains like sandcastles.

Countless fragments of space were swept away by the violent energy and scattered in all directions, forming a devastating inferno!

At the epicenter of the explosion, there was only emptiness and chaotic energy turbulence.

There was no shattered corpse of the Silver Dragon King, nor any trace of her presence.

"what?!"

"Where is the Silver Dragon King?!"

The figures of the five great god-kings appeared in the aftershocks of the explosion, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief.

However, they soon saw the Silver Dragon King in Ye Chen's arms.

"God of Time! What do you mean by this?"

The God of Destruction spoke coldly, his eyes filled with an intense killing intent.

"It's nothing. The Silver Dragon King is useful to me. You can leave now."

Ye Chen's tone was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger, nor any reverence for the five great god-kings. Instead, it carried a strong sense of contempt, as if he were casually dismissing a beggar on the street.

"The Silver Dragon King is a wanted criminal in the God Realm. Do you intend to make an enemy of the entire God Realm?!"

The god of evil spoke in a cold voice, equally icy and chilling.

As god-kings, they had absolute confidence in their own power and also possessed their own pride.

Therefore, they subconsciously believe that this ability must have huge limitations or costs.

Ye Chen's Time Stop was incredibly shocking, but in their minds only a moment had passed.

Therefore, they subconsciously assumed that Ye Chen could only stay still for a moment.

While that momentary pause was indeed powerful, even capable of injuring them, it was nothing more than that.

"Did you misunderstand something?"

Ye Chen slightly raised his eyes, looking at the five figures in the sky. A slight smirk appeared on his lips, carrying a hint of arrogance: "I'm not discussing this with you, but informing you that you have no right to refuse this god."

As Ye Chen finished speaking.

An invisible, domineering pressure suddenly rose from his body.

Although Ye Chen was standing on the ground.

The five great god-kings are in the heavens.

But Ye Chen's power at this moment was more terrifying than the combined power of the five great god-kings.
