at the same time.

As Zhou Xuan dispersed a considerable portion of the energy from the grand formation to resist Xiao Zhan's iron cavalry, the military formation's suppressive power over the dragon vein also rapidly weakened.

It's like a once impregnable fortress suddenly having several important pillars removed.

The fat dragon also keenly noticed this change and unleashed an overwhelming force without hesitation, instantly breaking free from the demon-slaying formation.

The invisible golden chains that were originally wrapped around it broke instantly like paper under its powerful impact.

The fat dragon, who had just been freed from its confinement, was overjoyed and about to take flight when a sudden change occurred.

Caught off guard, it was struck hard on the back by the white guillotine that came crashing down like a ghost.

"Snap!" A crisp sound rang out.

"Ouch!"

The fat dragon also let out a painful roar, and the golden-pink scales on its back emitted wisps of blue smoke under the erosion of the holy light, as if they had been scorched.

The white, holy light guillotine kept slashing down, attempting to cleave the dragon vein in two.

Its enormous body trembled violently as this aura, which it loathed from the depths of its soul, relentlessly assaulted its defenses.

The fat dragon had no choice but to stop its leaping motion and concentrate all its strength to fight back against the attack from behind.

This seemingly simple strike almost severely damaged the dragon vein.

As the giant dragon desperately tried to counter the holy light attack, time ticked away, and the already limited time left for its rise was completely exhausted.

Seeing that the dragon vein was still alive and well despite being bombarded by the power of the Holy Throne's origin, Antonio couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:

"This dragon vein is really hard to kill."

Antonio had previously failed to destroy the dragon vein, and he thought it was because his own power was not strong enough.

In retrospect, he had underestimated the importance of dragon veins.

No wonder the previous generation of Holy Thrones' plans to ambush the Star Lords were successful, but there was no record of them destroying the Dragon Vein.

Because the truly weak are fundamentally lacking in dragon veins!

Antonio also realized that it was virtually impossible to destroy the dragon vein at its core.

"Since we can't kill the dragon vein... then we can only destroy the inheritor!" A ruthless glint flashed in Antonio's mind.

Upon realizing this, he immediately withdrew all his holy light energy and ceased his futile attacks.

He looked up at the dragon vein in the distance, secretly calculating in his heart: whoever the dragon vein chooses in a moment, he will kill.

"Crackling... booming..."

The rain fell like a curtain, thunder rumbled incessantly, and the swamp trembled incessantly.

Several more wisps of energy from the dragon vein rose uncontrollably into the sky and slowly dissipated.

The giant dragon hurriedly gathered its energy and shattered the Holy Light Guillotine behind it. After regaining its strength, it did not launch a counterattack against Antonio.

It looked up at the thunder and rain swirling in the sky, knowing clearly that there was no time left and it had to make a choice immediately.

Its enormous golden vertical pupils quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to find the best candidate.

As the fat dragon moved, the feeling of being watched on Lu Fan dissipated.

He knew the situation was critical. If he couldn't get away from the crowd and get closer to the dragon vein, he feared he would lose a chance that could change his fate!

Lu Fan immediately shouted, "Get out of the way, or you will all die!"

However, faced with the threat of a critically injured and dying person, the awakened individuals present all showed disdain, and some even let out bursts of laughter:

"Haha, you think you can take that?"

"Stop talking big, I think you're already at your last gasp."

Lu Fan's expression turned completely cold:

"I'm saying it one last time, get out of the way!"

But the people around him still didn't react, they just smiled and looked at Lu Fan, seemingly not intending to give way easily.

Seeing that the dragon vein was about to rise, Lu Fan gritted his teeth and directly overdraw his supernatural abilities.

In an instant, the electricity in his body surged wildly, crackling and popping.

His entire body instantly transformed into blue lightning, forcibly entering an elemental state.

However, when the awakened people around him discovered that Lu Fan possessed superpowers, they were not afraid at all. Instead, they were like sharks that had smelled blood, and more people joined the ranks of those who tried to stop him.

"It's a superpower!"

"We must stop him, or we'll all have no chance!"

Various supernatural abilities surged in from all directions once again, attacking Lu Fan.

Even after Lu Fan entered elemental form and unleashed his full power, he was still relentlessly suppressed by the concentrated fire of numerous awakened individuals, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

"You all deserve to die!" Lu Fan was extremely anxious, and his anger continued to rise.

His gaze swept over the numerous Awakened Ones who were besieging him, and he wished he could kill them all.

The dragon vein's gaze swept across the area continuously.

Finally, the big fat dragon's target fell on the few people closest to it.

Zhou Xuan and Xiao Zhan were relatively close to it.

The fat dragon's gaze darted back and forth between the two, and compared to the other, Zhou Xuan seemed to be slightly stronger.

Zhou Xuan also noticed the change in the dragon vein's gaze, and a surge of joy welled up in his heart.

Although he had some conflicts with the dragon vein before, there is a possibility of reconciliation when all interests are aligned.

"The dragon vein...is mine!" Zhou Xuan couldn't contain his excitement, his eyes filled with longing.

Just as the giant fat dragon's gaze fell upon Zhou Xuan, seemingly about to choose him as its successor, the Rock Demon King, who had been poised to unleash its power, suddenly roared:

"No! The dragon vein should be mine!"
