Chapter 1705: The Profound Yin Mingwang Enters the Fray

Boom!

In the dark Dragon Abyss, a terrifying energy storm was raging, constantly shattering the void around it, as two giant dragons, radiating vast dragon might, fought fiercely with each other.

Dragon breath clashed like meteorites colliding.

Dragon claws tore at each other like divine weapons cleaving.

This primal and brutal battle did not reveal any Marquis techniques, because for the two of them at this moment, their dragon bodies were already their sharpest and swiftest means of killing.

Ao Yan originally possessed peak strength of a Three Crown King, and with the added boost of his dragon body's durability, he had been confident enough to suppress Li Luo. But he had never expected that Li Luo's methods would be so cunning—catching him off guard, stealing his essence blood, casting a curse art, and dealing him a vicious blow.

That single blow caused him to plummet from the peak of Three Crown King down to Three Crown King.

It might not seem like much of a fall, but it had stripped away all of Ao Yan's original advantages.

Therefore, as the two fought, Ao Yan not only failed to gain the upper hand, but as time went on, the vast Heavenly Dragon might radiating from within Li Luo was gradually making him feel a suppression.

The Heavenly Dragon was the sovereign of the dragon race to begin with; the might of the Heavenly Dragon naturally exerted a certain suppression over other dragon races.

And although Li Luo could not yet be considered a true Heavenly Dragon, the Heavenly Dragon bloodline he possessed was no weaker than Zhen Linshuang's, the Heavenly Dragon Clan Leader. Thus, as the battle deadlocked, the pressure of the Heavenly Dragon might gradually began to take effect.

If Ao Yan himself were not at the peak of Three Crown King, he would likely have already fallen into a disadvantage under Li Luo's storm-like assault.

Moreover...

Roar!

Just then, from outside the Dragon Abyss, two astonishing dragon cries suddenly rang out. Two giant dragons tore through the sky, their overwhelmingly powerful dragon might blanketing the heavens as they descended.

One was a crimson dragon wreathed in world-burning flames, the other a golden dragon whose entire body seemed cast from gold.

Crimson Dragon Clan Leader, Lu Song.

Golden Dragon Clan Leader, Jin Zhang.

These two Three Crown King powerhouses of the dragon race had finally arrived.

The moment the two dragons arrived, they saw Li Luo and Ao Yan's battle at a glance. Immediately bewildered, they were about to step in and stop it.

"Li Luo, Elder, stop at once!"

But before they could act, Zhen Linshuang on the distant altar, tormented by the Bliss Demon Flame to the point of wishing for death, gritted her teeth and roared: "Lu Song, Jin Zhang, strike and kill Ao Yan! He colluded with outsiders and the Return-Ones Society, ambushed me—he has betrayed the dragon race!"

"What?!"

Lu Song and Jin Zhang both trembled at her words. They found it hard to believe that Ao Yan, the Elder of the dragon race, would do such a thing.

But Zhen Linshuang, as the Clan Leader, would not speak carelessly. Combined with the great chaos of this blood sacrifice, their hearts were already shaken.

Thus, the next moment, the two dragons exchanged a glance, no longer hesitating, and directly spewed vast dragon breath to suppress Ao Yan.

Regardless, they would capture Ao Yan first.

Ao Yan, already weakened, had been struggling more and more against Li Luo alone. Now with two more Three Crown Kings added, he naturally could not resist, and immediately roared to the heavens: "Aren't you going to act yet?"

"Elder Ao Yan, don't be anxious. Our Return-Ones Society has invested such enormous resources in you—how could we possibly watch you fall?"

The instant Ao Yan's shout faded, a light laugh descended mightily from the heavens. The void twisted violently, and a handsome man with black-and-white pupils appeared within the Dragon Abyss.

With a sweep of his sleeves, a heaven-shaking croak rang out from the void. A black demonic toad as massive as a mountain leapt forth, opened its abyssal maw, and swallowed the fierce dragon breath from Lu Song and Jin Zhang whole.

"Sky-Swallowing Demonic Toad?"

The two elders, Lu Song and Jin Zhang, both had their expressions change drastically, recognizing the mountain-like black demonic toad.

"He is the Return-Ones Society's Profound Yin Mingwang! His true form is the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Toad!"

Hearing the cries of the two elders, Li Luo's gaze hardened as well, his eyes turning Solemn as he stared at the handsome man with black-and-white pupils. This one—was the Profound Yin Mingwang, ranked second among the thirteen Mingwangs of the Return-Ones Society?

But somewhat unexpectedly, the other party was not a human, but of the demonic toad race.

"Another peak Three Crown King."

Li Luo's brow furrowed slightly. A peak Three Crown King was the peak combat power of the present world, extremely difficult to deal with. Earlier, if he had not used the Great Dragon Blood Nightmare Art to ambush Ao Yan, he too would likely have been dragged into a bitter battle that exhausted many of his trump cards.

"Clan Leader Zhen, inviting outsiders into the Dragon Abyss at this time doesn't count as breaking the dragon race's rules, does it?" Li Luo said in a low voice.

The outsiders he referred to were naturally Li Li Tianji and Lin Miao, who were still on the second layer of the blood sacrifice.

"Naturally!" Zhen Linshuang let out a pained grunt. The dragon race was now in a life-or-death crisis—when would they still care about such things?

In fact, Li Luo had crushed a dragon bone fragment before Zhen Linshuang even answered—a signal of the Li Li Tianwang bloodline, which he would use to notify Li Li Tianji.

Not long after the signal was sent, two vast, surging waves of energy tore through the sky at extreme speed, breaking into the depths of the Dragon Abyss and arriving at this chaotic place.

It was Li Li Tianji and Lin Miao.

"Li Luo, are you alright?" Li Li Tianji spotted Li Luo's Heavenly Dragon form at a glance and asked with concern.

Li Luo shook his head, secretly relieved. With Li Li Tianji and Lin Miao, two Three Crown Kings, coming to reinforce them, the situation wasn't as bad as he had feared.

"Return-Ones Society—you troublemakers again!" Li Li Tianji said, his gaze darkening as he stared at the Profound Yin Mingwang.

"A few Three Crown Kings, and you think you can stop me?" The Profound Yin Mingwang smiled. The next moment, he formed a seal with one hand, and his palm split open grotesquely, transforming into a hideous toad mouth. A pitch-black flood of frigid frost surged out mightily, sweeping toward the group first.

In the current dragon race, the Profound Yin Mingwang only feared Zhen Linshuang. But now Zhen Linshuang had the Bliss Demon Flame planted within her, softening her flesh, so the Profound Yin Mingwang had nothing to fear.

Ao Yan also struck in concert. A dragon cry rang out as devastating dragon breath pierced through the void.

The four Three Crown King powerhouses—Li Li Tianji, Lin Miao, Lu Song, and Jin Zhang—hurried to meet the attack with everything they had.

Li Luo was about to join in as well. After all, even though they had a numbers advantage on their side, it might not be enough to hold back the Profound Yin Mingwang and Ao Yan.

But just then, a pained voice reached his ears: "L-Li Luo, Alliance Leader, come here!"

Li Luo was slightly startled. His gaze shifted, and he looked toward Zhen Linshuang on the distant altar, her entire body wreathed in Bliss Demon Flame. The voice had come from her.

So he hesitated for a moment, his dragon body gliding over to the front of the altar. But he did not rashly land, and instead asked cautiously: "Clan Leader Zhen, what is it?"

"The Profound Yin Mingwang and Ao Yan are stalling for time. They are waiting for the full descent of the 'Bliss Desire Demon King.' Once it descends, and if I have not recovered my strength, then no one in the dragon race will be able to counter it."

Li Luo's eyes narrowed slightly. That so-called "Bliss Desire Demon King" was an extreme peak Three Crown King, even stronger than the Profound Yin Mingwang. If it truly descended bearing the "Bliss Ghost Domain," then the dragon race would surely suffer a devastating blow.

"Then what does Clan Leader Zhen want me to do?" Li Luo asked directly. He could tell that Zhen Linshuang seemed to need something from him.

Zhen Linshuang fell silent for a few breaths upon hearing this, then, suppressing the pain within her body, slowly said.

"I want to give you a great opportunity."

"I just don't know whether you dare to take it."
