Chapter 195 Dragon King
The internal strife of the Taixu Ancient Dragon came to an end with the return of the four royal guard commanders: Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning.
Donglong Island!
Outside the Dragon Palace!
The first thing the four newly returned guard commanders, Fengyu, Leidian, did was to ask Zhuli to confirm whether they really knew the news about the old Dragon Emperor.
Because the journey was too long, the information they received was very fragmentary, but they were roughly certain that there was news about the old Dragon Emperor, so the four of them quickly returned from the void.
Zhu Li showed great respect to these four former commanders of the imperial guards. He explained everything clearly from beginning to end.
After hearing this, the four were also extremely excited. As the commanders of the old Dragon Emperor's royal guards, they naturally had a very close relationship with the old Dragon Emperor. Even the four of them were able to break through to the level of Douluo Saint thanks to the old Dragon Emperor's cultivation. Otherwise, they would not have gone to the void to search for him at all costs after the old Dragon Emperor disappeared.
Zhu Feng clenched his fists and said excitedly:
"So that's how it is. Your Majesty is trapped in Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave. As long as we can determine the location, we will definitely rescue Your Majesty."
At this time, Zhu Li quickly reminded:
"Great Commander, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is now divided into four, and the three pseudo-kings each occupy a dragon island. Only after Zi Yan becomes the Dragon Emperor and reunifies the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and integrates all forces, will we have hope of rescuing the old Dragon Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng glanced at him and said:
"Don't worry. Since she is your majesty's offspring, we are willing to assist her in becoming the new Dragon Emperor. As for the three false kings, if they dare to covet the position of Dragon Emperor, we will capture them. As for how to deal with them, it depends on the new Dragon Emperor's plan."
Zhu Li breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that these powerful and high-ranking guard commanders would have conflicts because of their contempt for Zi Yan.
After all, they are loyal to the old Dragon Emperor. If Zi Yan cannot gain their recognition, it will be detrimental to the unification of the Taixu Ancient Dragons.
At this moment, suddenly a beam of purple-gold light shot straight into the sky from the Dragon Palace. The terrifying momentum spread in all directions like a tsunami.
That is the power of the Fighting Saint!
Everyone's attention was drawn to it, and then they saw a tall figure slowly rising into the air in the beam of light. That figure was Zi Yan.
At this time, Zi Yan, after a year-long sleep, had surprisingly broken through to the level of Douluo, and was even a five-star late Douluo. She had completely integrated her own blood, her father's blood essence, and the power of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
He has a tall body, loose purple hair, a face that is both cold and majestic, and a pair of wings hundreds of feet long stretching behind him.
"The body of an ancient dragon, the wings of a phoenix..."
Someone said tremblingly.
This is the current Zi Yan. Not only has her royal bloodline been truly matured, but she has also integrated the bloodlines of two supreme demon beasts, the Taixu Ancient Dragon and the Ancient Sky Phoenix.
That kind of majesty is hard to describe in words. At this moment, on Donglong Island, all the ancient Taixu dragons were half-kneeling on the ground. They could not resist the call from their bloodline. They were excited and their eyes were burning:
“Dragon Emperor…”
Even Zhu Feng, Shi Yu, Ming Lei, and Jing Dian, who were also five-star Dou Sheng, could not withstand the pressure of the royal bloodline. They half-knelt on the ground and spoke in a trance:
"Dragon King!"
Originally, perhaps they did have some contempt in their hearts, after all, Zi Yan was just their junior, but now, they are convinced.
Soon, all the beams of light dissipated, and Zi Yan slowly opened her eyes. Her originally purple eyes turned into purple-gold eyes, and divine light shone, as if she could see through everything.
She didn't know how long she had been asleep, she only knew that she was very strong now, and she said in her heart:
"Father, thank you so much..." She was able to integrate all the power so quickly, thanks to the old Dragon Emperor's blood essence, which helped her lay a solid foundation. Otherwise, she would not have been able to fully absorb and refine the surging power of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit even in the past five or ten years.
Landing on the ground, Zi Yan spoke calmly:
"Everyone, get up and tell me what happened during the time I was asleep."
Although no one was mentioned by name, Zhu Li finally stood up. With a respectful look on his face, he recounted the entire series of events that had happened since Zi Yan fell asleep.
Zi Yan's face was solemn. She first looked at the four guard leaders of Fengyu, Leidian and Yu and said:
"The timely return of the four commanders is a great thing for the currently divided Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. When our Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is unified again, the four commanders will still serve as commanders. After integrating the power of the four islands, I will re-establish the Dragon Emperor's guards, the Dragon Guards."
"I'm sure you all know that my father is trapped in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Cave. I promised him that I would find a way to rescue him after unifying the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. So I need a strong army in my hands. I hope the Dragon Guards can take on this important task."
Hearing this, the four commanders of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning all said in unison with a firm look on their faces:
"As ordered!"
Zi Yan nodded, then turned her gaze to Qing Shan, Qing Mu, and Zhu Li, and said:
"The three dragon islands are coming at me with great force. Fortunately, all the elders and all the members of East Dragon Island have fought hard for such a long time, allowing me to successfully absorb the power of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. I will remember all your contributions."
Hearing this, Qingshan, Qingmu, Zhuli and other powerful ancient dragons on Donglong Island were ecstatic. It was a great honor for them to be recognized by the Dragon Emperor.
Then, Zi Yan turned her gaze to the dejected Xuan Mo, Zhu Mu, and Lie Shan. In front of the four five-star Douluo, they didn't even have the chance to withdraw their troops and leave before being forcibly detained. They had just witnessed everything, so they felt miserable in their hearts.
They were on the wrong side, and now is probably the time to pay the price.
Zi Yan said coldly:
"You followed the three false kings and split the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. You are guilty. Now after my return, you still refuse to change your ways and stubbornly resist. You even attacked Donglong Island and tried to harm me. Your crime is unforgivable."
"I decree in the name of the Dragon Emperor that you will be beaten back to your original form and reduced to war slaves. You will fight for ten thousand years. After ten thousand years, you can regain your human form and status based on your merits."
This is fair. After all, if you stand on the wrong side, you will always have to pay a price. Even if these are three two-star Douluo, they will be the death squads charging at the forefront of wars in the next ten thousand years.
Just after Zi Yan finished speaking, three purple-gold rays of light shot out and flew into the foreheads of Xuan Mo, Zhu Mu, and Lie Shan. Amid their horrified expressions, their bloodlines were sealed. Without even a chance to struggle, they began to change into their original forms.
But in just a moment, three thousand-foot-long Taixu ancient dragons appeared above Dragon Island. They were filled with regret.
Now, not only will they be living a life worse than death, but even their relatives, sons, grandsons, and future generations will be despised by their fellow tribesmen.
Ten thousand years, a full ten thousand years, and it is not certain whether they can live to ten thousand years later.
After doing all this, Zi Yan's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and she spoke again:
“Speed is of the essence in war. Now that my bloodline has truly matured, and the four imperial guards commanders of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning have returned, we naturally cannot allow those three false kings to split the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. We must immediately send troops to liberate the three major dragon islands and reunite the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!”
As soon as the words fell, countless ancient Taixu dragons shouted excitedly:
"As ordered!"
