The Jiaolong Clan.
It is located in the center of many overseas sea areas.
Here, on the sea, there are several huge islands with an extremely beautiful environment. The islands are rich in vital energy and have a wide variety of medicinal herbs.
Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles in this sea area, there are no other races.
Not to mention humans, there aren't even fish or shrimp.
The masters here are the Jiaolong clan. Only with the permission of the Jiaolong clan can other races enter this sea area to visit.
otherwise--
Once they enter, it will be considered a provocation, and they will be killed without mercy.
The dragon clan is also divided into two categories.
One type is born as a dragon. These members of the clan live in the water, reside in the Dragon Palace, and hold a high status.
The other type is formed from the transformation of other races.
For example, snakes and pythons, which molt into dragons, are accepted by the first type of dragons and live on Dragon Island, but their status is not as high as that of other dragons.
but.
Dragons, which are transformed from snakes or pythons, often possess extraordinary talents, perseverance, and aptitude.
Therefore.
Their individual strength is even greater than that of a naturally born dragon.
It's just that their clan has fewer members, which makes their overall strength relatively weak.
Therefore, many of the troublesome matters of the Jiaolong clan are handled by the Jiaolong on Dragon Island.
For example, the dragon that went to Tianlei You to search for rare treasures and materials was like that.
at this time.
In the center of Dragon Island, behind a massive palace, a dragon tens of feet long lay comfortably in the spring water, looking relaxed.
In fact, it is not resting, but cultivating itself.
But suddenly.
As if sensing something, it instantly raised its dragon head, its eyes shooting out a cold gaze.
The next moment.
The dragon spat out a jade tablet from its mouth, but the tablet was already shattered.
"Damn it, something's happened at Mangze."
The dragon was enraged.
This is not a simple jade tablet, but a soul jade tablet, containing a trace of Mang Ze's soul imprint. Once the jade tablet is broken, it means that Mang Ze is dead.
But.
Python Ze had only recently left the island to investigate Tianlei You, and he was accompanied by three human cultivators, as well as a Kui Niu and an elf. How could something have happened to him?
Even the most powerful lightning bolts.
Given Mang Ze's status, he would definitely send human cultivators in to investigate first, and only enter after confirming there was no danger.
But now, Mangze is dead.
The dragon was furious and was about to send a message to the other three races to question them. If the members of the other races were unharmed, but the python was killed, he would make the other races pay a heavy price for it.
But just then, its communication bead reacted.
The dragon looked at it and then fell silent.
The few who went to investigate Tianlei You all died, and almost all of them died at the same time.
"Tian Lei You, what exactly is going on?"
The dragon calmed down and pondered, "Could it be that there are no rare treasures or materials in the Heavenly Thunder Abyss, but rather some strange creatures have appeared there?"
Thinking of this, the dragon's eyes suddenly lit up.
If such a creature truly exists, devouring it would undoubtedly bring immense benefits.
It is also a dragon that has transformed from a python. It has cultivated to the present day and has devoured countless living beings, including many humans.
Not only it, but also the dragons and pythons on Dragon Island, which have cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years, have devoured countless living beings.
Consuming and digesting these creatures will allow them to improve their cultivation.
even.
Consuming certain special creatures can also enhance their innate talents and aptitudes.
How could it miss out on such a great opportunity?
Even if that strange creature could kill several of the pythons, it was still a being at the peak of the Divine Platform realm, about to become a Martial King.
His strength is comparable to that of King Wu.
However, regarding the matter of Tian Lei You, we still need to report to the Dragon Palace and the Ancestor first, and follow their arrangements.
Then, it receives the command.
No matter the cost, we must find out the specifics of Tian Lei You's situation.
This matter.
The other clans will also mobilize, sending a large number of their members to Tianlei You.
The Dragon Palace was given full authority to handle this matter.
The dragon immediately mobilized, gathering other dragons at the Divine Platform level on the island to prepare for their journey to the Heavenly Thunder Abyss.
However--
puff!
The dragon had just flown out of the palace and hadn't even had a chance to reunite with the other dragons when a sword appeared out of thin air in front of it and killed it with a single strike before it could react.
"Human, how dare you ambush me?"
The dragon's soul separated from its body, staring in astonishment at Lu Tao's clone that had appeared out of thin air, before erupting in fury.
However.
Faced with its rage, Lu Tao's clone simply extended his palm towards it with a calm expression.
He gently reached out and grasped the dragon, as if he were catching a small loach.
"How dare you!"
The dragon was enraged and tried to dodge, but it was shocked to find that the palm had already landed on it in an instant.
"How is that possible?"
The dragon was dumbfounded.
It was a Divine Platform Perfection cultivator, comparable to a Martial King, while the person before him was clearly only a Grandmaster Perfection cultivator. Why was he stronger than it? This was simply too monstrous.
There was no time to think.
The next moment.
The dragon was then captured by Lu Tao's clone and taken into the cave, where it was devoured by the Soul-Seizing Pearl.
then.
Dragons, pythons, and other creatures continuously poured their souls and consciousness into the Soul-Seizing Pearl, where they were devoured by Shan Yu.
Meanwhile, in other parts of Dragon Island, all the disciples of the Immortal Sect were mobilized, and in just a few breaths, they cleared away all the pythons and dragons on Dragon Island, leaving not a single one behind.
They were given no chance to react before the entire Dragon Island was wiped out.
"Let's go to the Dragon Palace!"
After dealing with Dragon Island, the disciples of the Immortal Sect rushed to the Dragon Palace without stopping, without even harvesting the medicinal herbs on Dragon Island.
Dragon Palace.
Located deep in the ocean, it is impossible for anyone without sufficient strength to dive in.
But for disciples of the Immortal Sect, diving into the seabed is naturally an easy task.
soon.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect, cloaked in disguise, arrived at the bottom of the sea and saw the magnificent Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Palace is enormous, consisting of a cluster of buildings.
and.
The entire Dragon Palace was built according to a formation, stretching out in a continuous line, forming a powerful defensive divine array.
That's not all.
Even if some outer buildings are missing, or are breached or destroyed, as long as the central building is intact, the operation of the divine array will not be affected.
at this time.
The defensive array enveloped the entire Dragon Palace, making it impossible to sneak in using an invisibility cloak.
However, a few playful dragons were leisurely frolicking near the Dragon Palace.
Lu Tao's heart skipped a beat.
"Come in, all of you."
Lu Tao took the Immortal Sect disciples into his cave, then attached the cave to one of the dragons and followed it, looking for an opportunity to enter the Dragon Palace.
"Aww!"
Just two breaths after he possessed her, a furious dragon roar came from the depths of the Dragon Palace.
What happened?
The playful dragons were puzzled and instinctively swam faster toward the Dragon Palace to see what was going on.
Count the breaths.
They then came to the depths of the Dragon Palace.
Here stands a magnificent palace, even larger than the one on Dragon Island, its walls scattered with countless enormous pearls, illuminating the entire palace with a brilliant glow.
At this moment, a large number of dragons were gathering inside the palace. One of them, which looked very old and had little life left, roared angrily, "Something happened on Dragon Island. They are all dead."
Just now.
It was preparing to communicate with the dragon on Dragon Island about the matter of the Heavenly Thunder and the Netherworld, but as soon as it sent the message, the other party's communication mark collapsed.
This means that the other party is dead.
This horrified it, and it then sent messages to several other dragons it knew.
result--
Without exception, they all died.
This is very strange.
"Quickly, activate the Dragon Palace Formation! No..."
The old dragon hurriedly ordered the other clan members to open the Dragon Palace Formation to prevent other beings from attacking the Dragon Palace, but before he could finish speaking...
Puff puff puff—
Inside the palace, swords clashed, and one after another, enormous dragons were severed from their bodies in an instant, leaving only their souls.
"Humans? You... no, you are not the humans of my seas!"
"You dare to invade my Dragon Palace? You dare to trespass on the human race!"
"You're asking for it!"
The dragon spirits, each with a ferocious expression, stared menacingly at Lu Tao and the others.
only.
At this point, they were nothing but souls, their power was limited.
They didn't even have the chance to send a message to the outside world, let alone resist.
Everything about them has been taken away by the disciples of the Immortal Sect, including their physical bodies.
then.
The Immortal Sect disciples didn't give these dragons any more time to rant and rave; they captured them directly, threw them into the cave, and made them slaves of Shan Yu.
The dragons in the Dragon Palace hold the highest status in the entire overseas world, and their value is naturally high as well.
Lu Tao did not intend to destroy their souls, but rather to enslave them, hoping to use this to force overseas forces to withdraw from the alliance attacking Da Gan.
This applies not only to palaces.
In other buildings, the dragons were also successively defeated by the disciples of the Immortal Sect, their bodies destroyed and their souls taken away.
Easy and simple.
The Jiaolong clan, which once dominated the entire overseas world, proved to be incredibly vulnerable after the departure of the Martial King and Martial God.
certainly.
This is why Lu Tao has a cave dwelling that allows him to shrink in size, possess a dragon's body, and bring it into the Dragon Palace.
otherwise.
With the defensive array in place, it would still be quite difficult for them to sneak silently into the depths of the Dragon Palace and kill all the dragons in one fell swoop.
"Take all the good things from the Dragon Palace."
Lu Tao instructed the disciples of the Immortal Sect to take action.
The Dragon Palace has so many wonderful things. Not to mention anything else, the pearls near the palace alone are priceless.
The largest pearls were even the size of a washbasin.
It contains extremely rich and pure primordial energy of heaven and earth, which can be directly transformed into inner essence without much refining.
These are all wonderful treasures.
Not to mention other things in the Dragon Palace, such as coral, sea anemones, pine seaweed, and so on.
These are all miracle cures.
Lu Tao felt like he had struck it rich this time.
At this moment, Wu Ming said, "Brother Tao, I think it would be better to move the entire Dragon Palace into the cave."
"Yes, we'll move the whole thing in together."
"That's right, the cave is big enough to form a sea and grow these spiritual herbs in the sea."
Upon hearing this, the other disciples who were about to take action also changed their expressions and became excited, looking at Lu Tao expectantly.
This was the first time they had ever been to the sea in their entire lives.
If there were an ocean inside the cave, it could add some fun to the monotonous cultivation life.
"Okay, then let's move everything in."
Lu Tao's heart stirred upon hearing this, but to be on the safe side, he still reminded everyone, "Be careful, and if anything seems amiss, don't move into the cave."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The disciples sprang into action, carefully lifting one building after another from the seabed and moving them into the cave almost intact.
One, ten, a hundred...
In the blink of an eye.
There aren't many buildings left in the entire Dragon Palace complex.
Only two palaces remain.
One of the palaces, which did not appear to be very large, only about ten feet in size, was the treasure trove of the Jiaolong clan, and it was unknown what was hidden inside.
The other one was enormous, measuring a thousand feet in size.
Both palaces were surrounded by various defensive arrays, densely packed together, demonstrating their extraordinary nature.
"Shan Yu?"
Lu Tao looked at the two palaces and called out into the cave.
"Master, it's ready!"
The next moment, the old dragon that Shan Yu had marked with the enslavement mark was summoned by Lu Tao.
"You...how cruel you are!"
When the ancient dragon emerged and saw the nearly empty Dragon Palace, it was so angry that it almost fainted. It glared fiercely at Lu Tao and the others, its eyes filled with resentment.
Not only was the Dragon Palace emptied, but all other members of the Jiaolong clan who were in the Dragon Palace were also destroyed, their physical bodies were destroyed, and they were enslaved.
This was an utter disgrace to the Jiaolong clan.
"Your Jiaolong clan has always been my enemy, so how can you say you're ruthless?"
Lu Tao sneered, completely unmoved, and continued, "When your overseas forces were plotting against me, did you ever think about whether you were ruthless? What, you don't care unless the knife is on your own body, but you can't stand it when it's your turn?"
Lu Tao felt no guilt whatsoever for slaying the dragon clan.
Because if the foreign forces and the demon races win, death will be the fate of hundreds of millions of people.
He has only killed a few dragons so far.
Why should you feel guilty about this?
Moreover, he only destroyed the physical bodies of these dragons; their souls remained.
If the dragon clan is sensible, these dragons may survive; otherwise, they need not be kept.
He gave the martial gods of the Jiaolong clan a choice.
"..."
The old dragon remained silent.
It wanted to argue back, but the fact was just as Lu Tao had said.
When they're plotting their big schemes, they never think much about the people.
The fact that this person has spared the souls of these dragons is already a sign of mercy.
"Open the treasure vault protective array."
With a blank expression, Lu Tao instructed the old dragon to open the protective array of the dragon clan's treasure vault.
"I... have no right to open it."
The old dragon looked very dejected. Seeing Lu Tao's grim expression, it explained, "My dragon clan's treasure vault is controlled by the dragon gods. Only they know how to open it."
"If that's the case, then let's move them out by force."
Lu Tao didn't ask any more questions.
The enslaved old dragon would not lie to Lu Tao.
Since that's the case, then the only option is to forcibly move the treasure vault; he has no intention of leaving it to the Jiaolong clan.
Buzz!
The next moment.
Hundreds of blazing fireballs appeared around the treasure vault, controlling powerful burning forces to completely envelop the divine array surrounding the vault, continuously scorching it.
The divine array is indeed powerful, but the fireball is equally formidable.
Even at the Divine Platform realm, a low-grade third-order fireball could easily burn to death a Divine Platform Perfection cultivator and shatter a second-order formation.
now.
It's already a second-tier, low-grade fireball, so its firepower is naturally even stronger.
Even the most powerful formations are nothing special.
As the treasure vault's protective array gradually crumbled under the fireball's flames, the old dragon's expression was one of deep sorrow.
The dragon clan is incredibly powerful.
Having ruled the seas for countless years, it was so easily destroyed by a group of humans, who even took away its Dragon Palace and treasure vault.
This time, their alliance with the demon and monster races to plot a major attack has truly led to a series of missteps.
If the dragon gods of the Jiaolong clan hadn't all mobilized, the Dragon Palace wouldn't have been in such a state.
only.
The Dragon Palace has a powerful defensive array that even a Martial God could not break through. When they left, they never expected that there would be someone like Lu Tao.
Without needing to break the formation at all, Lu Tao directly infiltrated the Dragon Palace and captured them.
even.
Even if Lu Tao didn't infiltrate the Dragon Palace, with such a powerful fireball, breaking the formation was only a matter of time.
It can only be said that the Jiaolong clan has taken the wrong path.
If we hadn't offended Da Gan or Lu Tao, things wouldn't have come to this.
At this moment.
The old dragon suddenly asked with some confusion, "Why did you kill the dragons on Dragon Island, but only leave the dragon souls of our Dragon Palace alive?"
