Everyone present considered themselves to be a genius of Zhongzhou, possessing outstanding strength and rarely encountering an opponent.

But now, when facing a foreigner, they are so easily defeated that they cannot even withstand a single blow.

This even led them to doubt their own strength at one point.

Some awakened beings with the power element were unconvinced and swung their fists forcefully, trying to resist the suppression of the holy light.

But they found that even if they kept reaching out to fight back, it was like hitting a ball of cotton.

At this moment, Antonio paid no attention to the Awakened Ones of Central Plains who were suppressed by the Holy Light.

He simply carried the cross and walked step by step toward the dragon vein.

The fat dragon, who had been watching the spectacle, finally realized something from Antonio. His eyes were filled with surprise, which instantly turned into hostility.

However, it felt a great threat from the holy light emanating from Antonio and, somewhat fearful, quietly moved its body backward.

Seeing that Antonio was about to attack the dragon vein, Zhou Xuan became anxious.

Despite the excruciating pain in his arm, he shouted a warning to the crowd:

Stop him!

"He's going to destroy the dragon vein!"

Although Zhou Xuan also wanted to kill other awakened individuals to obtain the Dragon Vein, he also said that he wanted to destroy the Dragon Vein.

But he was just saying it to bluff the big fat dragon; he would never actually destroy the dragon vein.

Because Zhou Xuan already knew some inside information about the dragon vein from the general.

He knew that there were only twelve dragon veins in Zhongzhou, and these dragon veins were related to the future of the entire Zhongzhou.

If a dragon vein is destroyed before it rises to power, it means that the Central Plains will lose a powerful combatant.

This will put Zhongzhou at a disadvantage when it later engages in battle with the Twelve Holy Thrones.

Even if he wasn't the one who obtained the dragon vein, he couldn't let it be destroyed by this outsider.

Zhou Xuan didn't want to become a sinner for all time in Zhongzhou because of this.

With Zhou Xuan's reminder, Li Yang also realized what Antonio wanted to do.

He frowned, then stepped forward to block Antonio's path; after all, he was also a city lord of Zhongzhou. He couldn't possibly watch the dragon vein be destroyed.

Antonio was not surprised by Li Yang's obstruction, and simply spoke calmly:

"Lord Yangcheng, you know my identity and strength."

As he spoke, intense holy light burst forth from his body, shining as brightly as a small sun.

"And you should also know that there is only one person here who can stop me."

Antonio glanced in the direction of the observation deck before continuing to Li Yang:

"But it seems to me that person doesn't intend to get involved."

After hearing Antonio say that only one person could stop him, everyone suppressed by the holy light wondered who that person was.

Who could possibly defeat such a powerful foreign race?

Just then, the image of that extremely strong person suddenly flashed through Blood Moon's mind, and she was immediately startled:

"Could it be him?"

After hearing Antonio's words, Li Yang knew very well who he was talking about.

His gaze involuntarily drifted to Li Yu on the observation deck, and he pondered to himself:

'Perhaps only Li Yu, who has become a Star Lord, can successfully stop Antonio's plan to destroy the Dragon Vein.'

The fat dragon, who had already sensed the imminent danger, suddenly launched a sneak attack while the two were talking.

It opened its enormous mouth and sprayed a large glob of pink slime at Antonio.

"laugh--."

The viscous fluid, like sulfuric acid, emitted a violent corrosive sound when it came into contact with the holy light surrounding Antonio.

Although the degree of corrosion was astonishing, it was all neutralized by the Holy Light.

Moreover, Antonio was smiling while he was surrounded by pink slime?

The smile looked particularly strange under the holy light.

Antonio smiled and looked at the big fat dragon, reminding him again:

“I told you, you haven’t chosen a successor yet, so you’re no match for me.”

"Furthermore, I will not allow you to become my opponent."

After saying this, Antonio silently took out a holy book, the words on the pages shimmering as if they had a life of their own.

He casually turned a page, and instantly a thick beam of holy light shot out from it, directly dispelling the slime on his body.

Antonio raised the holy book in his hand, about to aim it at the fat dragon, when a sharp metallic scraping sound suddenly rang in his ears.

"stop!"

Zhou Xuan shouted and forcefully tore off the remaining small section of his right arm.

What gushed from the severed arm was not blood, but liquid metal, shimmering with a metallic luster under the holy light.

He struggled to his feet, resisting the oppressive force of the holy light, and looked at Antonio with a resolute voice, saying:

"This is the dragon vein of Zhongzhou. You can forget about destroying it!"

Zhou Xuan turned around forcefully and flung out the liquid metal from the severed arm.

The liquid rapidly solidified into chains in mid-air, binding Antonio's wrist as he held the sacred text.

"Filthy heretics!"

Antonio looked at the iron chain on his wrist and spoke with disgust.

Then, the holy light around him suddenly surged, and the metal chains instantly melted into molten iron in the high temperature of the holy light, dripping down.

Just as he looked up, he saw that Zhou Xuan had not given up yet; he was still preparing to use his last bit of energy to launch another attack.

At this moment, Zhou Xuan's bones emitted a metallic grinding sound as he began to unleash his full power, overdrawing his supernatural abilities and putting his body into an overloaded state.

Silver metallic blood was circulating wildly at an out-of-control speed in the bulging veins in Zhou Xuan's neck.

At the wound on the severed right arm, the liquid metal no longer flowed calmly, but surged violently like boiling magma, and the splashed metal droplets solidified into sharp metal spikes in mid-air.
