Chapter 227: Battle Huntian Again!

A jade Dragon King, surrounded by auspicious aura, gave a slight nod, his tone filled with expectation.

"Ao Taixu, this child, shows an atavistic phenomenon in his bloodline; here he enjoys the utmost geographical advantage, and the Dragon Marrow Pool can provide him with endless supply. Seizing this opportunity should be a near‑certain success."

Another hot‑tempered Flame Dragon King laughed heartily:

"That's natural!"

"My Dragon Clan's dragon offspring is no ordinary being?"

"Even if that Phantom Nightmare Emperor Butterfly and the Golden‑Winged Great Peng youngster have some tricks, they cannot stir a great wave on Ao Taixu's home ground!"

However, at that moment, the Darkness Demon Dragon King, whose aura was cold and profound, let out a light "huh", his dragon eyes, like black holes, fixed intently on the Black Robe Figure within the light screen—Ye Wuque!

"Your Majesty!" The Darkness Demon Dragon King's voice carried a strange gravity as he turned to the Dragon Emperor, bowing and reporting: "The Human who confronted Huntian… Ye Wuque! He is… the very Human youngster from that previous incident!"

"Hm?" In the Dragon Emperor's ancient, still‑pond‑like eyes, a distinct ripple finally rose.

His gaze instantly locked onto Ye Wuque's Dark Shadow, his voice deep and full of authority: "Are you certain?"

The Darkness Demon Dragon King inhaled deeply and nodded resolutely:

"Reporting back to the Dragon Emperor, I am certain!"

"I am so deeply impressed by that day's incident! I could never mistake it—it's him!"

The several Dragon Kings glanced at each other, clearly all aware of what the Darkness Demon Dragon King referred to, and their faces showed astonished expressions.

The Dragon Emperor fell silent, his infinitely profound gaze returning to the light screen, but this time his focus was almost entirely on Ye Wuque.

As for Ao Taixu, who was confronting Mu Yutiandie, he only glanced at him occasionally.

His eyes flickered continuously, as if countless ancient star trails were calculating and scheming; no one could know what the contemporary Dragon Emperor was thinking at this moment.

……

Within the core basin of Suppressing Dragon Valley.

The atmosphere had already tightened to the extreme!

"Kill!"

Huntian let out a roar that tore the sky, no longer able to restrain himself; murderous intent sharpened to the utmost in his wild eyes, and golden divine radiance burst around him like an erupting volcano!

He swore that today, right here, he would behead Ye Wuque and cleanse the ancient humiliation!

He made no hesitation; his first strike was earth‑shattering!

He immediately employed the bloodline body‑refinement great divine skill of the Golden‑Winged Great Peng Clan… Peng Undying Golden Body!

His whole body instantly turned pure gold, as if forged from immortal divine metal; muscles bulged, exuding an invincible sense of power!

At the same time, he drove the terrifying speed of the Golden‑Winged Great Peng to the limit, his form blurred, tearing Space like teleportation, bearing a terrifying force that could shatter stars, slashing horizontally toward Ye Wuque!

His twin claws emerged, executing the lethal grand technique from the Heavenly Peng Dragon Capture Art of the Golden‑Winged Great Peng Clan that shakes the heavens!

Facing this ferocious and domineering onslaught, Ye Wuque's expression remained calm.

As he had said, since that battle years ago, Huntian had long lost the qualification to be his opponent in his heart.

A single defeat means eternal defeat!

"Buzz!"

A vast, majestic, terrifying aura that seemed to tower above the power of the heavens' Way erupted thunderously from within Ye Wuque!

Undying Indestructible Imperial Golden Body—Eighth Turn Supreme Emperor Descends Dust!

Imperial mode fully activated!

A vague yet towering Flesh Imperial Shadow manifested behind him, suppressing Liuhe Bahuang and sweeping Nine Heavens Ten Earths!

Ye Wuque's skin around his body flowed with a warm, jade‑like yet indestructible sheen, his qi and blood surged like a dragon, as if ten thousand volcanoes erupted simultaneously!

Simultaneously, the celestial demon wings behind him unfurled violently, a light flutter causing the universe's speed to erupt; in velocity, it instantly surpassed the speed‑dominant Huntian of the Golden‑Winged Great Peng!

"Boom!!!"

Fist and claw collided!

Like two Ancient Stars colliding, they erupted a deafening boom!

Terrifying energy ripples spread in a ring, flattening the dark red ground below by several feet!

Huntian only felt an indescribable, overwhelming force surge along his arms; his proud Peng Undying Golden Body emitted a strained buzz, and his whole body was shaken, qi and blood roiling, stumbling backward!

He was shocked and angry, unable to believe!

He had waited for eons, believing himself far beyond his former self, yet why, upon a single clash, does he remain at a disadvantage?!

"I don't believe it! Heavenly Peng Rift Sky Claw! Nine Heavens Slash Divine Sword! Great Peng Sky‑Tearing Technique!"

Huntian roared wildly, unleashing without reservation all the lethal grand techniques of the Heavenly Peng Dragon Capture Art; the sky filled with claw shadows tearing the void, golden feathers piercing souls, and terrifying power that seemed able to split the heavens!

Yet Ye Wuque responded with continued composure.

He even refrained from employing many complex divine arts, merely channeling the power of the Undying Indestructible Imperial Golden Body to its limit; the Flesh Imperial Shadow seemed to merge with him, each punch and each palm strike imbued with absolute crushing power!

A golden Imperial Palm Seal spanned the sky, shattering myriad laws, smashing and dispersing Huntian's razor‑sharp onslaught!

"No matter the myriad divine arts or countless techniques, I will break them with a single force!"

"Bang! Pfft—"

Huntian was again struck in the chest by a seemingly plain golden Palm Seal; the Peng Undying Golden Body's brilliance flickered violently, a sweet sensation rose in his throat, and a mouthful of fresh blood burst out uncontrollably, his body flung backward, his face filled with disbelief and humiliation!

He realized that not only could he not wound Ye Wuque, he couldn't even leave a trace on the opponent's terrifying flesh!

This absolute gap felt even stronger than the frustration from that battle eons ago!

"Ah!!!"

Huntian let out a resentful roar, nearly going mad.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ao Taixu's battle with Mu Yutiandie also entered a white‑hot stage, dazzling and earth‑shaking!

The Darkness Magic Dragon, Ice Crystal Jade Dragon, and Storm Thunder Dragon that followed Ao Taixu had all collapsed on the ground, their auras waning, life and death unknown.

Strange soul‑wave fluctuations swirled around them, evidently having unknowingly fallen victim to Mu Yutiandie's impenetrable soul attack, and they had already lost their combat power.

Only Ao Taixu remains, alone facing this Phantom Nightmare Emperor Butterfly!

Even though Ao Taixu's bloodline is noble and his strength overwhelming, his face now is filled with an unprecedented solemn expression.

Mu Yutiandie's divine art is exceedingly bizarre; dream and reality intertwine, true and false, illusion and reality, countless soul phantasms crash against his will like tides, and intangible mental spikes constantly try to pierce his sea of consciousness!

Roar!

Ao Taixu lets out an earth‑shaking Dragon Chant, golden Dragon Power surges around him like a vast ocean, the ultimate domineering Dragon Might shakes the universe, attempting to break the endless illusion with absolute force!

He swings his Dragon Claw, unleashing golden dragon‑shaped energy that rips the Void, unmatched in power!

And Mu Yutiandie finally manifests the True Body of the Phantom Nightmare Emperor Butterfly!

The pair of nine‑colored butterfly wings fully spread, dazzlingly dreamy to the extreme, and with a gentle flutter they draw the Zhutian dreamscape into collapse!

The true Emperor Fiend's oppressive pressure is unleashed without reservation; although she appears young, the terrifying oppression stemming from her bloodline's source is no less than Ao Taixu's Dragon Might!

The two great Emperor Fiend bloodlines, within Suppressing Dragon Valley, launched an extremely fierce clash!

Dragon Chant and butterfly cries intertwine, golden Dragon Power and nine‑colored radiance constantly collide and vanish, both sides begin to show injuries, dragon scales shatter, butterfly wings are bloodied, the battle turns exceptionally brutal!

……

Outside, before the Dragon Clan's light curtain.

Several Dragon Kings watch with solemn faces.

"This Phantom Nightmare Emperor Butterfly clan truly lives up to its reputation… the Way of the Soul can be wielded to such transcendent heights!" Jade Dragon King sighed.

"The youngster of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan is also decent, but alas, he met something even more perverse…" Flame Dragon King glanced over the Huntian being pressed down by Ye Wuque, shook his head, then his gaze sharply fixed on Ye Wuque, his tone filled with astonishment.

"Indeed that Human Ye Wuque! How can he be so formidable?! He can so easily crush that Huntian? The power Huntian displayed is no trivial matter!"

"Moreover, this Human youngster actually wields the inheritance of the Reverse Chaos Heavenly Demon clan?"

"His flesh is even unfathomable! One punch shatters ten thousand techniques!"
