Chapter 888: with translation of chapter title

"You'd better hurry; if we delay, things will change. We should quickly bring this dragon emperor's bloodline back, or the Dragon King will get angry and we'll suffer."

Translation: "Then hurry up; if delayed, things will change. It's best we quickly bring this Dragon Emperor's bloodline back. Otherwise, if the Dragon King gets angry, we'll suffer."

We need to keep the quotes? The Chinese includes quotation marks. We should keep them? The instruction: translate faithfully; we should keep punctuation. We'll keep the Chinese quotation marks? Usually we replace with English quotes. We'll keep the meaning: we can use English double quotes. We'll output: "Then hurry up; if delayed, things will change. It's best we quickly bring this Dragon Emperor's bloodline back. Otherwise, if the Dragon King gets angry, we'll suffer."

But need to keep the line as one line.

As soon as the former finished speaking, on the road where Zhu Li was heading to Qing Yan, a red-faced old man suddenly appeared and spoke casually.

Translation: "As soon as the former's words fell, on the road where Zhu Li was heading to Qing Yan, a red-faced old man suddenly appeared, speaking casually."

No problem, a mere four-star Fighting Venerable—I can kill him with ease.

Translation: "No problem, a mere four-star Fighting Venerable—I can kill him with ease."

Faced with the former's urging, Qing Yan also appeared extremely calm.

Translation: "Facing the former's urging, Qing Yan also appeared extremely calm."

After all, right now he's just a child who is a four-star Fighting Venerable.

Translation: "After all, right now before him is merely a child who is a four-star Fighting Venerable."

For him, who is just a step away from the Half-Saint realm, this is absolutely effortless.

Translation: "For him, who is just a step away from the Half Saint Realm, this is nothing short of easy."

Damn it, Qing Yan, if you dare to move Lin Feng, I won't let this rest!

Translation: "Damn it, Qing Yan, if you dare to move Lin Feng, I won't let this rest!"

Hearing the two people's unrestrained conversation, Zhu Li's heart nearly exploded with rage.

Translation: "Hearing the two people's brazen conversation ahead, Zhu Li's heart nearly exploded with rage."

He immediately sped up, rushing full speed toward Qing Yan.

Translation: "He immediately sped up, rushing full speed toward Qing Yan's side!"

Hehe, Old Zhu Li, your opponent is me.

Translation: "Hehe, Old Man Zhu Li, I am your opponent."

Seeing the former's furious expression, the red-faced old man named Huo Zhàn gave a hehe laugh and then stepped in front of Zhu Li.

Translation: "Seeing the former's furious appearance, the red-faced old man named Huo Zhan gave a hehe laugh and then stepped in front of Zhu Li."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Translation: "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In the next instant, the two figures in midair fiercely crossed paths.

Translation: "In the next instant, the two figures in midair fiercely crossed."

The terrifying energy directly shattered the surrounding space, creating a huge black void nearly a hundred zhang across.

Translation: "The terrifying energy directly shattered the surrounding space, creating a pitch-black void nearly a hundred zhang in size."

The two who had crossed instantly separated, each retreating.

Translation: "And the two who crossed separated instantly, each flashing back."

Obviously, from this result, their strengths are about equal; neither can overcome the other.

Translation: "Obviously from this result, their strengths are roughly equal; neither can do anything to the other."

However, at this moment on the other side, after consuming ancient dragon essence blood and controlling the flame forging for several days, Lin Feng's heart is filled with helplessness.

Translation: "However, at this moment on the other side, after consuming Ancient Dragon Essence Blood and then controlling the flames to temper for several days, Lin Feng's heart was filled with helplessness."

He really wanted to tell Elder Zhu Li that even though I've now been continuously controlling flames for almost a month, pushing both my spirit and body to their limits, I still want to thank you, Elder Zhu Li, because thanks to you, in the face of the hostile North Dragon Island, you spoke my name; otherwise my future days would not be so easy.

Translation: "He really wanted to tell Elder Zhu Li, 'Even though I now have been controlling flames for nearly a month straight, my spirit and body are both near their limits, but I still want to thank you, Elder Zhu Li, because thanks to you, in the face of the hostile North Dragon Island, you spoke my name; otherwise my later days would not be so easy.'"

We need to keep it as one line.

Kid, stop your flames and obediently stand aside; I'm in a good mood today, so I might spare your life.

Translation: "Kid, stop your flames, obediently stand aside; I'm in a good mood today, maybe I can spare your life."

After confirming that Zhu Li was blocked by Huo Zhàn, Qing Yan stepped lightly through the void and calmly approached Lin Feng, speaking softly.

Translation: "After confirming that Zhu Li was blocked by Huo Zhan, Qing Yan stepped onto the void and slowly walked to Lin Feng's side, speaking lightly."

However, Lin Feng, who was refining the last trace of the dragon-phoenix crystal layer inside Zi Yan's body, naturally ignored the former's words and continued to mechanically control the alien fire.

Translation: "However, Lin Feng, who was naturally refining the last strand of Dragon-Phoenix Crystal Layer within Zi Yan's body, simply ignored his words and continued mechanically controlling the strange fire."

Hmph, if you won't drink the toast, you'll drink the penalty!

Translation: "Hmph, refusing a toast only to drink a penalty!"

Seeing that appearance, Qing Yan shook his head slightly, then flashed forward and appeared above Lin Feng's head.

Translation: "Seeing that appearance, Qing Yan slowly shook his head, then flashed and arrived above Lin Feng's head."

Immediately after, he slowly raised his palm, and with a surge of fighting spirit, he mercilessly slammed it down onto Lin Feng's heavenly spirit cover.

Translation: "Next, he slowly raised his palm, and with a surge of fighting spirit, he mercilessly slammed down onto Lin Feng's celestial cover."

However, at the very moment Qing Yan's palm came crashing down, inside the cauldron the final trace of crystal in Zi Yan's meridians was also completely refined by the alien fire.

Translation: "However, at the very moment Qing Yan's palm came down hard, inside the cauldron, the final strand of crystal layer in Zi Yan's meridians was also completely refined by the strange fire at this instant."

In an instant, the former's purple eyes, which had been closed for a long time, suddenly opened, and the surging fighting spirit within his body began to circulate vigorously.

Translation: "In an instant, his tightly closed purple eyes snapped open, and the rich, surging fighting spirit within his body suddenly began to circulate!"

Then a cold voice imbued with boundless pressure rang out like a soul-shaking thunder in Qing Yan's ears.

Translation: "Then a cold voice containing boundless pressure erupted like a soul-shaking thunder in Qing Yan's ears."

It caused his body to instantly freeze.

Translation: "His body instantly solidified."

You old bastard, if he dares to harm even a single hair, today you will pay with your life!

Translation: "Old fogey, if he dares to harm a single hair, today you shall pay with your life!"

The icy shout suddenly exploded beside Qing Yan's ear.

Translation: "The icy shout suddenly exploded beside Qing Yan's ear."

Although the voice wasn't particularly loud, at that moment it caused the former's soul to tremble violently.

Translation: "Although this voice wasn't particularly loud, at this moment it caused the former's soul to violently tremble."

Because within that shout lay an irresistible pressure that he could not withstand.

Translation: "Because within that shout lay a pressure he could not resist."

And this pressure originates from the soul, and also from the bloodline!

Translation: "And this pressure originates from the soul, and also from the bloodline!"

The perfected Dragon Emperor bloodline.

Translation: "The perfected Dragon Emperor bloodline."

At the moment his body stiffened, Qing Yan's aged face instantly showed a pallid look.

Translation: "At the moment his body stiffened, Qing Yan's aged face also instantly showed a pallid hue."

The palm that was about to strike Lin Feng's heavenly spirit cover also came to an abrupt halt under the bloodline's pressure.

Translation: "The palm that was about to strike Lin Feng's celestial cover also came to an abrupt halt under the bloodline's pressure."

Immediately afterward, the former sensed something, and without the slightest hesitation, he tapped the void with his toe and hastily retreated in a somewhat disheveled manner.

Translation: "Next, he seemed to sense something, without the slightest hesitation, tapping his toe in the void, his figure somewhat disheveled as he violently retreated."

Sizzle!

Translation: "Sizzle!"

And just as Qing

At the same time as Yan's body violently retreated, a strand of purple-gold light shot out violently from within the cauldron.

And just as Qing

And just as Qing

At the same time as Yan's body violently retreated, a strand of purple-gold light shot out violently from within the cauldron.

But note: The split is weird; we might need to combine meaning across lines? However instruction says keep each translation on a single output line, no line breaks inside one 【N】. It doesn't forbid translating across lines? It says translate each line. So we must treat each line separately. So we will translate line 39 as "And just as Qing". And line 40 as "At the same time as Yan's body violently retreated, a strand of purple-gold light shot out violently from within the cauldron." This will produce odd translation but we follow instructions.

But maybe the original text had a line break incorrectly; but we must follow.

Let's continue.

At first glance, that strand of light actually darted out from the void itself, as fast as lightning, and slammed into the fleeing, disheveled Qing Yan's body.

Translation: "At first glance, that strand of light actually darted out from the void, as fast as lightning, and slammed into the disheveled fleeing Qing Yan's body."

Bang!

Translation: "Bang!"

Accompanied by the purple-gold light, it exploded on Qing Yan's body, and the terrifying gust directly made his throat feel sweet.

Translation: "With the purple-gold light bursting open on Qing Yan's body, the terrifying shockwave directly made his throat feel sweet."

Pfft!

Translation: "Pfft!"

Afterward, the former spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward uncontrollably.

Translation: "Then he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body uncontrollably flying backward."

Meanwhile, as Qing Yan was blown away, on the other side of Dragon Island, the faces of the experts from East Dragon Island and several other major Dragon Islands who were battling also changed.

Translation: "And just as Qing Yan was blown away, on the other side of the Dragon Island, the strong warriors of East Dragon Island and several other major Dragon Islands who were battling also changed expression."

In an instant, nearly everyone turned their heads in unison, gazing toward the direction where Lin Feng and the others were.

Translation: "In an instant, nearly everyone turned their heads in unison, gazing toward the direction where Lin Feng and the others were."

There, they felt an unparalleled, pure dragon aura!

Translation: "There, they felt an unparalleled pure dragon might!"

"True royal bloodline, completely awakened. Lin

Translation: ""The true imperial bloodline has completely awakened. Lin Feng and them, they succeeded.""

Sensing this thick bloodline pressure, Hei Qin's gaze fixed on the distant horizon as he muttered excitedly.

Translation: "Sensing this rich bloodline pressure, Hei Qing gazed at the distant horizon, excitedly murmuring."

At the same time, on Lin Feng's side, a graceful figure stepped out slowly from the Dragon Soul Cauldron.

Translation: "At the same time, on Lin Feng's side, a graceful figure slowly stepped out from the Dragon Soul Cauldron."

As this woman appeared, Qing Yan and Huo Zhàn of the North Dragon Island clearly felt that the bloodlines within their bodies were faintly boiling at this moment.

Translation: "And just as this woman appeared, Qing Yan and Huo Zhan of the North Dragon Island clearly felt that their bloodlines secretly felt a boiling sensation at this moment."

Driven by this boiling sensation, they could hardly resist kneeling before that figure in the sky.

Translation: "Driven by this boiling, they almost couldn't help but kneel down toward that figure in the sky."

At that moment, that figure in the sky fully appeared within the view of several people.

Translation: "At that moment, that figure in the sky fully appeared within the view of several people."

This woman wore a purple-gold robe, on which dragons and phoenixes danced as if alive, exuding an undeniable noble aura.

Translation: "This woman wore a purple-gold robe, with dancing dragons and phoenixes on it, as if alive, exuding an undisguisable noble aura."

Her graceful figure was tall, with a head of dense purple hair flowing down like a waterfall, passing over her slim, tight waist and reaching her perky hips.

Translation: "Her graceful figure was tall, with a head of dense purple hair flowing down like a waterfall, passing over her slender waist and reaching her pert buttocks."

This woman's appearance was extremely beautiful; her purple eyes had somehow turned into a purple-gold hue, appearing mysterious and enchanting.

Translation: "This woman's appearance was extremely beautiful; her purple eyes from just moments ago had somehow turned purple-gold, appearing mysterious and enchanting."

Under the gaze of those purple-gold eyes, it seemed as if even heaven and earth would submit.

Translation: "Under the gaze of those purple-gold eyes, it seemed as if even heaven and earth would submit."

In the distance, Zhu Li, at the instant the former appeared, had his eyes excitedly lifted toward the sky where Lin Feng was.

Translation: "Far away, Zhu Li, at the instant that figure appeared, his eyes excitedly gazed toward the sky where Lin Feng was."

Immediately afterward, he discovered that Zi Yan no longer had her former playful demeanor but had completely transformed into a bewitching immortal maiden.

However, what made Zhu Li's heart skip a beat was the pair of purple-gold wings, about a zhang long, condensed behind Zi Yan.

At this moment, those wings were gently flapping, and with each vibration, faint sounds of wind and thunder burst forth, shocking the heart and soul!

"The wings of the Celestial Phoenix, the body of the Ancient Dragon. We, we have succeeded!"

Upon seeing those Celestial Phoenix wings, Zhu Li could no longer hold back; he dropped to his knees and performed a great salute toward Zi Yan.

"This Celestial Phoenix doesn't look like a Celestial Phoenix, and this Ancient Dragon of the Grand Void doesn't look like an Ancient Dragon of the Grand Void—what the hell is it?!"

As for Qing Yan, upon seeing Zi Yan's current appearance, their expression instantly became somewhat disordered.

Immediately after, he wiped the blood from his mouth, pointed at the former, and said: "The Phoenix Realm was already completely destroyed thousands of years ago by the remnants of our Dou Sheng powerhouses via self‑explosion. The remaining old, weak, sick, and disabled of the Celestial Phoenix clan were likewise utterly annihilated in the endless void. What the hell are you?!"

"Damn it, shut up and run!"

Seeing the former's mindset somewhat collapsed, Huo Zhan, although he also didn't know what kind of monster that woman was, the terrifying dragon aura emanating from her was proof enough that she possessed the Dragon Emperor's bloodline.

Therefore, he also without hesitation reached out and sucked Qing Yan into his hand.

Then he hurriedly darted into the void, fleeing this place in a sorry state.

However, while escaping, Huo Zhan's mind was likewise in turmoil.

Because when he was young, the Celestial Phoenix clan had not yet disappeared; although somewhat declined, they could still fight the Ancient Dragon clan on equal terms.

Even when their Dragon Emperor saw them, he felt extremely troubled, constantly thinking of ways to counter them.

So, at that time

They often clashed with the Celestial Phoenix clan, seeking to suppress the opposing Ancient Dragon clan.

Their ordinary adult members had almost all fought against the Celestial Phoenix clan.

And at that time, as a member of the army, he had also seen the true appearance of the Celestial Phoenix.

Especially those wings, which were virtually identical to this woman's!
