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

"Not bad, its defense is very high."

Ye Chen nodded, showing no disappointment whatsoever.

Although the Asura Divine Sword is powerful, it is ultimately just a divine artifact.

During the great battle between dragons and gods, the Asura Divine Sword was able to slay the Golden Dragon King because it received the combined blessing of the five great god-kings.

Otherwise, simply cultivating the divine sword would not be enough to shake the Golden Dragon King's physical body.

Even the Silver Dragon King's Silver Dragon Spear is stronger than the Divine Sword he cultivated.

At that moment, the famous super artifact from the Abyss Plane—the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd—flashed through Ye Chen's mind.

That property of ignoring all defenses will surely be able to break through the Golden Dragon King's defenses.

Unfortunately, at this time, the Abyss Plane was still wandering in some unknown corner of the universe, unimaginably far away from the star field where Douluo Continent was located.

Although Ye Chen wanted to, he was unable to locate its existence for the time being, so he was unable to borrow it from the Abyss.

However, even without using the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, Ye Chen could easily kill the Golden Dragon King.

Once they reach a level where they have touched upon the essence of the rules, external things are ultimately just icing on the cake; what truly determines victory or defeat is the power of the core laws they themselves have mastered.

In the original legends of the God Realm, Tang San and his companions ultimately defeated the Golden Dragon King not with a single divine artifact, but with the "Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms," created by the three God Kings by fusing their most core laws.

Only by applying rules to rules can the Golden Dragon King's physical body be completely broken.

Ye Chen doesn't need anyone's help.

Because the laws he controls are among the most powerful forces in the universe.

"The Sword of Time".

Ye Chen uttered four words softly, his right hand casually clenching in front of him.

As he moved, the surrounding space and time seemed to be disturbed by an invisible force, and countless tiny silver runes emerged out of thin air, rapidly converging above his palm.

A phantom longsword, composed entirely of the pure laws of time, floated silently in mid-air.

This sword has an ancient and simple shape, and its entire body flows with a luster like mercury.

Ye Chen flicked his finger, and the Sword of Time in his hand floated down lightly towards the frozen neck of the Golden Dragon King in front of him.

Wherever the Sword of Time touched, an incomprehensible and profound power of the laws of time instantly seeped in.

Wherever it touches, the passage of time accelerates to a terrifying 100 billion 100 billion 100 billion times!
The more areas a rule affects, the weaker its effect, and vice versa.

Ye Chen only used the rules to affect a small part of the Golden Dragon King's physical body, but the power of the rules was naturally incredibly strong.

In a mere instant, the place where the Golden Dragon King and the Sword of Time touched aged instantly, becoming like paper.

No matter how powerful the Golden Dragon King's physical body was, it could not withstand the passage of time.

"laugh--"

The sword of time is not very fast.

But it easily broke through the Golden Dragon King's terrifying defense.

The sword flashed and swept directly across the Golden Dragon King's neck.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Chen lifted the time freeze.

"puff--"

The Golden Dragon King's enormous body contained a blood of ferocious power, which was freed from restraint the moment time resumed its flow.

The terrifying blood pressure, like a burst dam, gushed out from the neck cavity, which was separated from the torso, almost explosively!

The scorching dragon blood, carrying the pungent smell of sulfur and blazing golden light, transformed into an incredibly thick pillar of blood that shot hundreds of meters into the sky!
"What!!"

On the head of the Golden Dragon King, which was thrown upwards, the huge dragon eyes were filled with extreme horror and disbelief.

Before it could even fully process what was happening, its head and body were completely out of its control.

The feeling was like having the roots that sustain life severed in an instant, and a tremendous sense of emptiness instantly overwhelmed it.

"Boom——"

The enormous dragon body, now headless, crashed to the ground like a collapsing mountain.

The earth trembled violently, emitting a dull, painful groan.

The scalding dragon blood, hot as lava, splattered everywhere, each drop containing powerful corrosive energy. It hissed and emitted terrifying sounds as it hit the ground, sending up plumes of white smoke.

The rock was instantly eroded and melted, leaving behind pitted, charred marks that quickly spread into a large, deadly area. "Bang—"

A moment later, the enormous golden dragon head that had been propelled a hundred meters high crashed heavily onto the ground not far from its torso.

The hard ground simply could not withstand this terrifying force and weight, and was instantly smashed into a huge crater, in which the dragon head was deeply embedded!
"Boy! What...what have you done to me! Damn it! Damn it!!!"

In the deep pit, the head of the Golden Dragon King was breathing heavily, each breath spewing out scorching air and blood foam.

Its enormous dragon eyes stared intently at Ye Chen, filled with rage!
"It's nothing. I'm just giving you a chance to say your last words because we're acquaintances."

Ye Chen slowly walked towards the head of the Golden Dragon King. His tone was unreadable, but his eyes were filled with mockery, as if he were looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.

"No...please...please let me go! I'll give you anything..."

For the first time, the Golden Dragon King's voice carried a plea, a desperate fear stemming from his very survival instincts.

Its enormous pupils contracted, and the raging fury in its eyes was quickly replaced by overwhelming despair and pleading.

There was a time when it faced the siege of the five great god-kings and never thought of running away.

That was absolute confidence in its own physical body, which made it firmly believe that nothing could truly kill it.

Now, that confidence that once propelled it to its peak has completely collapsed.

Because it clearly sensed that the young human standing at the edge of the pit possessed the power to completely annihilate it...

"Alright, you've finished your last words, now you can die..."

Ye Chen's lips curled slightly, and then he slowly raised his right hand.

A bone-chilling cold instantly spread, and the surrounding air temperature plummeted.

In the blink of an eye, a giant dragon claw made entirely of deep, icy blue ice condensed and took shape.

"boom--"

This claw strike combined Ye Chen's powerful physical strength with the might of a God-King.

With a piercing shriek that tore through the air, the dragon claws slashed fiercely down towards the head of the Golden Dragon King in the deep pit!
"Do not!!"

The Golden Dragon King let out a roar of utter despair.

Having lost its unity with the powerful dragon body, its defenses have plummeted to rock bottom with just its head, making it easy for even the Asura Sword to break through its defenses.

Not to mention Ye Chen's Ice Dragon Claw.

"Click-"

The icy blue giant claws slammed down on the Golden Dragon King's head with overwhelming force.

The sturdy dragon scales were instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, like glass struck by a heavy hammer.

The massive skull, under the immense force contained in the crampons, was as fragile as a Doritos chip.

The next second, the entire giant golden dragon head, like a watermelon whose interior was instantly frozen to its limit, exploded with a bang!

"Whoosh-"

A beam of golden light, condensed to the point of being tangible, burst forth from the shattered dragon head. Its speed was so great that it tore through the void and rushed straight towards Xian Lin'er behind Ye Chen!

This was the Golden Dragon King's final act of defiance and counterattack.

The golden light is the core of the Golden Dragon King's divine power, containing all of his original divine power and soul!
Of course, the Golden Dragon King did not intend to possess Xian Lin'er's body; he did not have the ability to possess a deity.

It simply wanted to perish together with Xianlin'er.

Although it was silly, it could tell that Xianlin'er seemed to be very close to Ye Chen.

Knowing it was no match for Ye Chen, it naturally gave up everything in the end, determined to perish together with Xian Lin'er.

"I've been on guard against you for a while now."

Ye Chen's mouth curled up.

With another thought, the "time freeze" that had just been lifted instantly enveloped the world once more.

The entire Forbidden Land, along with the shooting golden divine core, was once again put on absolute pause.

That's the power of time; it's extremely difficult to control.

But once mastered, it makes one invincible.
