440. The Mysterious Green King, the Azure Flood Dragon King in Danger!
"An Azure Flood Dragon King? How can it be? Wasn''t the Azure Flood Dragon King devoured by the Green King?"
"Could there possibly be another king within the Azure Flood Dragon n?"
A wave of panic swept through the many sea beasts. A King! Anything below that level could hardly harm a King. He''s nearly invincible!
"Die!"
The Azure Flood Dragon King was seething with anger. With a swipe of its gigantic w, countless sea beasts were turned to dust. The King opened its enormous mouth, reminiscent of a ck hole, and began to devour everything in sight, leaving nothing behind. Perhaps there are more sea beasts on the ind, but it no longer matters to the King. All it wanted was to assess the remaining numbers of the Azure Flood Dragon n.
"Come out, you''re safe now." The King''s voice echoed through the void. Harnessing the bloodline of the Azure Flood Dragon within him, he effortlessly lifted the ancestralnd''s protective barrier. Seeing this, the Azure Flood Dragons inside finally confirmed their King''s return.
"All hail the King!" Hundreds of Azure Flood Dragons prostrated themselves, paying their respects to their monarch.
The King, voice trembling,mented, "Only a few hundred left?"
"Yes, my lord. Out of the tens of thousands of our kin, only these few remain."
"My King, from which generation are you?"
The Azure Flood Dragon asked cautiously.
"I am the 36th generation King of the Azure Flood Dragon n!"
"The 36th generation? That''s from tens of thousands of years ago, right?"
"My lord, thankfully you''ve returned. Our 39th-generation king was consumed by the Green King. If you had returned even a momentter, our entire n would have been wiped out."
Relief washed over the Azure Flood Dragon n. They were lucky to have the 36th-generation king return. Over the years, many kings of the n had gone missing. These kings, blessed with long lives, would sometimes venture out and never return.
Thus, despite their long lifespans, the n had seen over thirty generations. But asionally, a king would return. Like now, when the return of the Azure Flood Dragon King came at the most critical juncture for their n''s survival. It could be said that the Azure Flood Dragon n was truly fortunate.
"Ah? There''s still one that got away. To think the Azure Flood Dragon n still had a king-level existence. I was hoping to see any other hidden strengths the Azure Flood Dragon n might possess. But all I waited for was you, the Azure Flood Dragon King."
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from behind the Azure Flood Dragon King. Slowly, a man emerged, stepping forward with a certain nonchnce. Upon seeing him, the faces of the Azure Flood Dragon n members went pale. Their voices trembling, they warned, "My Lord, that''s... that''s the Green King!"
The Azure Flood Dragon King squinted slightly, instantly realizing that the Green King wasn''t a true human cultivator. Neither Martial King nor Nascent Soul, but an exotic beast just like himself. Yet, oddly, this beast could assume a human form.
Such transformations among sea creatures weren''t umon. What truly astonished him was the Green King''s power. How could he devour a king-level exotic beast, especially one from the 39th generation, in one bite?
"My Lord, you must tread carefully around the Green King," they advised. "No exotic beast has ever seen his true form and lived. If things go south, you should escape. As long as you live, our n still stands a chance."
"Yes, my Lord, please flee!" the others chimed in.
Despite their pleas, the Azure Flood Dragon King''s temperament remained unchanged. Even after being imprisoned for tens of thousands of years, he was still fiery and quick-tempered. Leaving now was not an option for him. Even if it meant death, he would never retreat.
With this, the king, in all his massive glory, charged directly at the Green King. His strongest asset was always his body, and the same went for true dragons—masters of closebat. But the Green King just smiled and with a simple push of his hand, a tremendous force sted towards the Azure Flood Dragon King.
The sheer power of the push left the Azure Flood Dragon King gasping for air as if suffocating. The pressure was immense, making him feel as though death was imminent.
"Crash!"
With a mere nudge from Green King, the Azure Flood Dragon King was hurled by a formidable force and sent soaring through the air, before plummeting heavily to the ground, leaving a gaping crater in its wake.
All who witnessed stood agape, none had expected that Green King, with just an effortless shove, without even invoking his true form, would topple the Azure Flood Dragon King.
It was as though thetter, in Green King''s presence, was utterly defenseless, sheer domination. Everyone knew that an exotic beast''s strengthy in its true form.
Had Green King unleashed his true form? He would''ve likely devoured the Azure Flood Dragon King, Much like he did with the one from the thirty-sixth generation.
"Roar…"
The Azure Flood Dragon King''s fury was uncontainable. He was the venerable Azure Flood Dragon King, Yet, against another monarch of exotic beasts, he couldn''t even force his opponent to reveal the true form. Such a reality was an utter disgrace!
With the Azure Flood Dragon King''s enraged roar, suddenly, the entire ancestralnd quaked intensely.
"Hum."
The ancestralnd of the Azure Flood Dragon n, rich with the vital essence of generations of Flood Dragon Kings. Now, the present Flood Dragon King invoked a secret technique, harnessing the essences of his predecessors, gathering their collective strength.
This arcane skill was exclusive to the lineage of Flood Dragon Kings. The one that Green King had consumed had been devoured before reaching these ancestralnds. Hence, he had no chance to marshal these essences.
Yet now, the Azure Flood Dragon King summoned the power from the essences of generations past. Drops after drops, in dozens or even hundreds, emanated from the ancestralnd. Converging in the sky, radiating an ominous aura.
"Roar…"
As the Azure Flood Dragon King let out a defiant bellow, those numerous essences seemed to manifest into phantom images of Azure Flood Dragons.
Two forms, one towering and the other subordinate, lunged at Green King, determined to subdue him in one swift move.
To the onlookers, Green King seemed to regard the hundreds of essences as insignificant.
But Green King was well aware those hundreds of essences, in truth, activated a mystical formation from the Azure Flood Dragon ancestralnd.
The power of the formation, now fully awakened. Invisible forces converged from every direction, pressing down hard upon him. This oppressive force was far superior to the Azure Flood Dragon King''s strength. Perhaps even more than tenfold.
However, as the Azure Flood Dragon King charged towards Green King, A sly smile crept upon Green King''s lips. With a movement swift as lightning, he reached out, Grasping the head of the Azure Flood Dragon King, and mmed it down with tremendous force.
"Boom!"
The ground crumbled, leaving another massive pit.
The Azure Flood Dragon King was battered and bruised by this dreadful power.
Such wounds wouldn''t be lethal. Yet, what stunned him was how Green King, even under the formation''s oppression, could so effortlessly subdue him.
"Weak, truly weak," Green King remarked, "I had thought, given the Azure Dragon lineage in your n, there might be some impressiveness. But it seems you remain pitifully feeble. Enough. I shan''t toy with you any longer. Let''s end this once and for all!"
It seemed Green King had been holding back. Now, he prepared to consume the Azure Flood Dragon King and bring everything to a close.
