Chapter 1709: The Ultimate Battle

As Zhen Linshuang's shout, brimming with chilling killing intent, echoed across the heavens and earth, the blood moon hanging in the sky grew increasingly crimson. The next moment, the blood moon actually began to blink slowly, and deep within it, a pupil emerged.

A colossal blood eye fully materialized, its cold gaze fixed on Zhen Linshuang, who had completely neutralized the Joyful Demonic Flame within her body and restored her strength.

It was the Joyful Desire Demon King.

However, facing Zhen Linshuang's killing-intent-laden shout, it did not meet her in battle, because it understood clearly that the moment Zhen Linshuang broke free of its Joyful Demonic Flame, this scheme against the Dragon race had failed.

Zhen Linshuang possessed a peerlessly powerful physical body in this world, so when it came to direct combat strength, even the Joyful Desire Demon King was quite wary. Thus, seeing the scheme fail, the space where the blood eye resided began to tremble, showing signs of retreat.

"Thinking of leaving now?"

Zhen Linshuang's bone-chilling voice nearly caused the temperature between heaven and earth to plummet. The hatred in her eyes was as thick as if it were tangible, clearly showing she hated this Joyful Desire Demon King to the extreme.

If not for this beastly thing, how could she have fallen into that previous state that, just thinking about it, made her want to go mad?

The current Zhen Linshuang had a bellyful of fury and killing intent that needed to be vented, so how could she let this chief culprit go?

Therefore, Zhen Linshuang suddenly reached out and grabbed viciously through the air. In an instant, the space where the blood eye resided violently shattered, and a Celestial Dragon claw, like a towering mountain range, thrust out, directly seizing the blood eye that was attempting to retreat into the depths of the void.

With a single pull of the Celestial Dragon claw, the void shattered, and that blood eye, like a blood moon, was forcibly torn down by Zhen Linshuang.

"Didn't you want to descend? Let me help you!" Zhen Linshuang said with a sinister voice.

"Zhen Linshuang, you're seeking death!"

From within the blood eye came a sharp, piercing shriek. The next moment, a vast, surging torrent of blood water poured out from the blood eye, transforming into a blood sea that blotted out the sky.

Within the blood sea, a figure emerged. From its appearance, it was an absolutely beautiful young girl wearing a red dress, with a pure countenance yet eyes brimming with intense seductive charm.

The red-dressed girl stood upon the blood sea, but she had no arms—instead, blood-red tentacles.

This scene was extraordinarily bizarre.

A wave of overwhelming evil-origin fluctuation swept out from the red-dressed girl's body, causing the heavens and earth to change color, and countless powerful experts of the Dragon race revealed expressions of terror.

This was the true form of the Joyful Desire Demon King!

Killing intent shrouded Zhen Linshuang's cheeks; she wasted not a single word. She stomped her foot, shattering tens of thousands of feet of void, and her figure, like a teleportation, appeared directly before the Joyful Desire Demon King. The dragon halberd in her hand, wrapped in destructive power, transformed into countless afterimages as she hacked toward the latter.

Accompanying Zhen Linshuang's all-out strike, this stretch of heaven and earth trembled for it.

Seeing this, the Joyful Desire Demon King let out a light, pleasant laugh. At the same time, her tentacles whipped, sending dark-red Joyful Demonic Flame sweeping out, covering the tentacles entirely. Then the tentacles, like fire whips, lashed out toward Zhen Linshuang.

"Zhen Linshuang, I saw how comfortably you were served by that Li Luo with a fire whip earlier. Now let me try it too, shall I?" The Joyful Desire Demon King's coquettish laughter echoed across heaven and earth.

She attempted to provoke Zhen Linshuang's emotions, causing her to reveal a flaw.

But very soon she sensed that this wave of provocation was far too effective—so effective that the Zhen Linshuang before her directly abandoned all defense. The vast, intense Celestial Dragon origin power climbed to an unprecedented peak, and with every swing of her heavy halberd, the aftershocks left ravine marks stretching thousands of miles across the vast earth below.

Sssh!

The bizarre tentacles of the Joyful Desire Demon King, burning with Joyful Demonic Flame, were continuously severed by Zhen Linshuang.

An endless frost shrouded Zhen Linshuang's beautiful cheeks. She unleashed her assault while simultaneously allowing the Joyful Desire Demon King's origin power to leave shocking, corrosive wounds across her body.

This was entirely a method of combat that traded wound for wound.

But her physical body's resilience was astonishingly extreme; no matter how severe the injury, it could heal extremely quickly. And although the Joyful Demonic Flame countered physical bodies, it needed to be ignited from within. Now, in direct combat, it could no longer achieve the effect it had on the altar before.

Thus, in this clash between two ultimate Triple Crown Kings, within a brief moment, Zhen Linshuang had seized the upper hand.

However, slaying a peak expert of the ultimate Triple Crown King realm was also extremely difficult, so this battle continued in a stalemate.

And this peak duel also left Li Li Tianji, Lin Miao, and others somewhat shaken. Was this Zhen Linshuang's true strength? Truly domineering and fierce—she could actually suppress a Ten-Sin Demon King!

"This mother-berserker dragon is so brutally savage."

Li Luo also watched with a pounding heart. Only now did Zhen Linshuang make people understand why she could firmly hold the position of Dragon race clan leader, because this strength was enough to suppress all dissent.

"That Joyful Desire Demon King's mouth is really cheap too. Why did you have to pick at the scab? Still not worried she's not crazy enough?" Li Luo cursed inwardly with a guilty conscience. He was truly afraid that Zhen Linshuang would go berserk killing and end up hacking him too.

But that previous scene really couldn't be blamed on him. He had reminded Zhen Linshuang many times not to channel too much Joyful Demonic Flame that exceeded his limit, but this mother-berserker dragon had a bad brain. For her own comfort, she forcefully channeled the Joyful Demonic Flame into his body, and in the end, it detonated him...

However, judging from how Zhen Linshuang, after waking up earlier, did not fly into a rage and attack him, but instead gave him even denser "Ancestral Blood," she should also understand this point...

So, let's just pretend that absurd incident on the altar earlier never happened.

Boom!

And while Li Luo was sighing inwardly, the void outside the Dragon Domain suddenly saw vast, surging black clouds of evil intent sweeping in at terrifying speed, and within them appeared the auras of numerous Heterogeneous Kings.

That was the Heterogeneous Calamity erupting on the Outer Shenzhou side, simultaneously attempting to reinforce the Joyful Desire Demon King.

Wooo!

Urgent signal sounds rang out throughout the Dragon Domain.

"Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy!"

The two Triple Crown Kings of the Dragon race, Lu Song and Jin Zhang, let out thunderous howls, directly breaking through the sky, mobilizing the Dragon race's forces to counter this premeditated eruption of the Heterogeneous Calamity.

"Alliance Leader Li Luo, Branch Leader Li Tianji, Alliance Leader Lin Miao, please keep an eye on that Zhu Xuan Yin Ming Wang!" At the same time, Jin Zhang also spoke out to request.

Li Li Tianji and Lin Miao did not refuse, directly striking out to pursue the Zhu Xuan Yin Ming Wang, who had been wounded by Zhen Linshuang and retreated, attempting to obstruct it.

Li Luo was also about to strike, but a cry of alarm suddenly reached his ears.

"Li Luo, save me!"

That was Li Hongyou's voice!

Li Luo's expression changed. His gaze shot beyond the Dragon Abyss, and he saw that amid the chaotic situation, a massive black dragon broke through the sky, extended its dragon claw, and in one grab seized the Medicine Jade Dragon that Li Hongyou had transformed into.

Ao Yan!

It was taking advantage of the chaotic situation, attempting to capture Li Hongyou.

Vast killing intent instantly erupted in Li Luo's eyes. This Ao Yan truly sought death!

"You want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

Li Luo's gaze turned icy. He directly tossed the Ancestral Blood Dragon Crystal given by Zhen Linshuang into his mouth. As the vast, majestic Ancestral Blood erupted within his body, his Celestial Dragon bloodline instantly grew even more vigorous.

He took a single step forward, his body transforming. A mysterious, ancient, towering Celestial Dragon broke through the sky, drawing reverent gazes from countless Dragon race powerhouses.

At this moment, this long-planned technique finally completed its evolution.
