Chapter 228: Unrivaled Across All Realms!

Only the contemporary Dragon Emperor, from beginning to end, never made any comment on any battlefield.

His gaze, like an eternally unchanging star.

He kept his eyes firmly fixed on the battlefield of Ye Wuque and Huntian, and regarding the fierce Emperor Fiend duel on his own dragon son Ao Taixu's side, he didn't even cast a glance.

Because only he himself knew in his heart what kind of being Huntian, who was being casually crushed by Ye Wuque, truly was.

That was a supreme monster who had truly attained the Extreme Realm!

Its foundation was so profound, far beyond ordinary imagination!

And Ye Wuque could, with such bearing, suppress an Extreme Realm Living Being…

The significance behind this made the Dragon Emperor, who stands atop the pinnacle of Zhutian Wanjie, unable to suppress the faint wave of shock in his heart!

This child… how terrifying could he truly be?

At that moment, within the light curtain, Huntian, repeatedly repelled by Ye Wuque, his humiliation and fury building to the limit, finally went completely berserk, choosing an ultimate eruption, a supreme ascension!

"The millennia‑long wait, how could it be in vain?!"

"Ye Wuque! Receive my final power!!"

"Heavenly Peng Dragon Capture Art… Third Realm!!"

"Heavenly Peng Annihilation! Imperial Presence over Nine Heavens!!!"

Boom—!!!!!

A indescribable terrifying aura fully awakened and erupted from Huntian's body!

Golden Dao fire burned around him; it was Primordial Power boiling!

A terrifying Peng Emperor Void Shadow, colossal beyond imagination, as if forged from endless golden divine swords, standing proudly in the heavens, gazing over eternity, suddenly coalesced behind him, manifesting into the world!

The instant the Peng Emperor Void Shadow appeared, the space of the core of Suppressing Dragon Valley emitted an overburdened wail, and the viscous dragon‑bone pool below roiled violently!

It was a forbidden power that transcended rules, bearing world‑destroying momentum!

This is precisely the forbidden power of the deepest level of Heavenly Peng Dragon Capture Art—the Third Realm!

In the long history of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan, those who could achieve this state in their youth were as rare as phoenix feathers.

And Huntian was one of them!

Feeling this world‑annihilating force, even Ao Taixu and Mu Yutiandie, locked in fierce battle nearby, involarily froze, a flash of alarm flashing in their eyes!

Facing Huntian's life‑or‑death ultimate strike, Ye Wuque, who had always seemed at ease, finally gave his gaze a hint of seriousness.

"Now that's interesting."

His thoughts shifted, and his divine abilities suddenly transformed!

"Three Heads Six Arms!"

"Buzz!"

Ye Wuque's body flickered; two heads sprouted on each side of his neck, and four arms materialized beneath his shoulders!

In an instant he transformed into a three‑heads‑six‑arms combat form!

A wilder, more domineering, seemingly heaven‑splitting, all‑sweeping invincible battle intent surged skyward!

Simultaneously, his Nine‑Five Supreme Heavenly Art roared within, using this supreme governing method to command the Six Divine Powers at once!

"Imperial Dragon Splits Nine Heavens!"

"Eight Desolates Six Harmonies Emperor God Fist!"

"Heaven‑and‑Earth Myriad Transformations God‑Destroying Palm!"

"Nameless Sword Form!"

"Reincarnation Immortal Slash!"

"Yin‑Yang Supreme Sword!"

The Six Divine Powers represent six completely different yet each ultimate Dao!

At this moment, under the command of the Nine‑Five Supreme Heavenly Art, they perfectly merged into a Chaos Torrent that erases all, reshapes earth, water, fire, and wind, and boldly surged toward the suppressing terrifying Peng Emperor Void Shadow!

This is the ultimate clash of power with power!

It is the final duel of Dao versus method!

Thud—！！！！！！！！！！！

The roar of this collision is beyond words!

As if the first divine thunder at the birth of Open Heaven and Split Earth exploded!

The entire core of Suppressing Dragon Valley was completely engulfed by endless light; nothing could be seen!

Only the destructive Energy Storm raged outward like a cosmic Big Bang, devouring everything!

After a long while, the destructive light slowly faded, revealing the interior.

A figure, like a kite with its line cut, its golden feathers dim, drenched in blood, flailed and crashed heavily onto the distant ring‑shaped dragon‑body mountain range—it was Huntian!

His breath had dwindled to the extreme, his eyes filled with disbelief and utter despair; that life‑or‑death strike still failed!

On the other side, Ye Wuque's three‑heads‑six‑arms form gradually receded, reverting to his black‑cloaked true body.

He stood firm on the spot, faint Chaos Qi swirling around him; aside from a slight boil in his aura, he was… completely unscathed!

At that moment, on another battlefield where Ao Taixu was locked in fierce combat with Mu Yutiandie, his expression suddenly changed the instant Ye Wuque unleashed the True Dragon Emperor Technique!

"Is this… the True Dragon Emperor Technique?!!"

His Dark Eye burst with extreme surprise and shock, "This is the secret of my Golden Emperor Dragon Clan, the supreme Imperial Art! He's a Human, how could he…"

As Ao Taixu's spirit trembled from this sudden revelation, a fleeting split of spirit appeared for an instant—

Mu Yutiandie, who had been dueling him continuously, seized that fleeting chance!

Upon her nine‑colored butterfly wings, countless mysterious Tiandao patterns suddenly lit up, coalescing into an invisible divine‑soul sword forged purely from soul power, refined to the extreme, radiating a terrifyingly murderous intent!

This is one of her formidable trump cards as the Phantom Nightmare Emperor Butterfly, a soul‑severing technique impossible to defend against!

"Swoosh!"

The Soul Sword moved silently, transcending space and time, and instantly appeared before Ao Taixu's brow!

In the critical moment, Ao Taixu displayed the superlative reflexes and formidable power of a Dragon Clan Imperial Son!

He remained unafraid, forced his terror down, and pushed the True Dragon Emperor Technique to the utmost of his capability!

"Roar! Imperial Dragon Sky‑Cover Technique!"

He let out a thunderous Dragon Chant and employed one of the five Supreme Divine Skills of the True Dragon Emperor Technique, the Imperial Dragon Sky‑Cover Technique famed for defense and suppression!

An endless, majestic golden Dragon shadow roared from his body, weaving into a golden sky‑curtain that seemed able to veil the heavens and cut off all laws, shielding him!

"Boom—!!!"

The Soul Sword struck the golden sky‑curtain with fierce force, unleashing a silent yet far more perilous Soul Storm!

The golden sky‑curtain quivered violently, flickering uncertainly; in the end it blocked the lethal blow, yet Ao Taixu was still struck by the terrifying psychic assault.

His complexion instantly turned a faint pallor!

Mu Yutiandie likewise suffered; after invoking such a powerful Soul‑Killing Art, she was hit by the backlash of the Imperial Dragon Sky‑Cover Technique, let out a muted groan, and the nine‑colored glow on her wings dimmed, clearly bearing a serious wound.

Both sides fought hard this time; it can be called a mutual defeat!

However, Ao Taixu's advantage manifested at this moment!

He stood by the Dragon Bone Marrow pool; with a thought, the viscous Dragon marrow below, brimming with massive Life Essence, instantly transformed into multicolored rays, surging into his body like countless rivers merging into the sea!

The wounds inside him began healing at a breakneck speed, the spent Dragon Power was swiftly replenished, and his breath recovered most of its vigor within a few breaths, even more mighty than before!

He activated the True Dragon Emperor Technique, merging it with the continuously surging Dragon marrow Great Power; his surrounding Dragon Might surged again, overwhelming the ten directions of the universe, and began forcefully suppressing the injured Mu Yutiandie!

A flash of anger flickered in Mu Yutiandie's cold eyes, but having lost the initiative and lacking support, she was instantly put on the defensive by Ao Taixu's wind‑and‑rain‑like counterattack, forced to rely on her uncanny footwork and Soul Mystical Art to barely stay afloat, the situation precarious!

……

Outside, before the Dragon Clan's light curtain.

Several Dragon Kings had not yet fully recovered from Ye Wuque's crushing of Huntian, when they were again stunned by Ye Wuque's deployment of the True Dragon Emperor Technique!

"True Dragon Emperor Technique! How can he wield our clan's supreme imperial art?!"

"This is a secret of bloodline inheritance, not of the Dragon Clan's core; it is utterly impossible to master!"

"How many secrets does this one truly conceal on his body?!"

"Looking at his moves and divine skills, it's likely tied to the Ye Clan…"

The Dragon Emperor's pair of eyes, as if containing the heavens' Star River, became irresistibly captivating at this moment.

Endless divine light flickered and collided wildly within, as if an ancient Star Domain were being born and collapsing, evolving endless mysteries!

He stared at Ye Wuque's silhouette in the light curtain, his inner turmoil already surging like a tide.

……

Inside the basin.

Huntian, embedded in the Dragon Body Mountain range and blasted away, struggled to stand.

He gazed at Ye Wuque in the distance, still standing calmly as if he had merely swatted a fly.

His expression shifted from initial disbelief, humiliation, and madness to… a dead‑gray indifference.

Eons of waiting, a life‑risking strike…

What came in return was an even more thorough, even more hopeless defeat!

All these years of his perseverance, what does it amount to?

Self‑proclaimed eternal, enduring solitude—was it all just to prove today that he is an even bigger joke?

Yet, Huntian remains the unparalleled demon that once suppressed an era; the firmness of his Dark Heart far exceeds that of ordinary people.

After that ultimate despair and self‑doubt, an even colder, purer, more resolute will, like ancient ice‑bound cold iron, slowly revived from the depths of his soul.

He slowly wiped away the gold‑colored blood spilling from his mouth; in those wild, defiant eyes, all emotions vanished, leaving only a near‑inhuman calm and indifference.

"Ye Wuque…"

He whispered hoarsely, yet with a chilling tremor, "I must admit, you are the greatest enemy of my Huntian life…"

As his whisper faded, a force unlike any before, as if transcending this world's rules and bearing an ultra‑ancient, peerless aura, began to seep from his body strand by strand…

He is about to… make his final gamble!
