This naturally includes the instigator of it all, the Dragon Lord.
The fragments of the forbidden barrier that it shattered swirled around him, transforming into shackles of rules that tried to bind his limbs and infuse his body with the suppressive laws.
In response, the Dragon Lord did not make any futile resistance, but simply slowly crushed the Star Miasma Sphere in front of him!
Tear it apart!
The moment it shattered, endless star miasma surged into its body, forming a phantom on its surface with a strength equivalent to its own. The shackles formed from the fragments of rules were also bound to this phantom, instantly suppressing its strength to the level of a four-star lord.
After all this was done, the fragments formed from the rules gradually disappeared, but before they disappeared, another wave of suppression erupted.
"Pfft~" The Dragon Lord, shrouded in the phantom, spat out a mouthful of blood under the suppression of the rules, but he couldn't stop smiling: "It really worked... As expected of the treasure given by my grandfather, the Dragon Emperor, it really allowed me to escape the suppression of these rules!! It's just a pity that our clan's treasure has been wasted like this."
That's right, the Dragon Lord actually has another identity, namely, the grandson of the Dragon Emperor, one of the Forbidden Emperors.
Originally, as the Dragon Emperor's grandson, it was not required to participate in this plan. However, decades ago, its clan suffered a tragedy, and the Dragon Emperor had no choice but to send it to the Northern Star Region ahead of schedule for training. Before its departure, the Dragon Emperor entrusted it with its clan's most precious treasure, the Life-Saving Pearl.
It still remembered what the Dragon Emperor told it when it left: "Child, this Life-Saving Pearl is the most precious treasure of our clan. It can free you from the suppression of all rules. I have a feeling that this plan will not go so smoothly. There will most likely be changes that will forcefully break through the barrier. If that day really comes, you must absorb enough cleansing power to activate the Life-Saving Pearl and let it suffer the suppression of the rules in your place."
"You are the only heir of our clan, and we must not allow any mishaps to occur to you."
For the past few decades, the Dragon Lord had paid little heed to the Dragon Emperor's warnings, after all, the place it descended upon was the Northern Star Region, where the strongest mech pilots before were only at the second star level of the Vast Expanse, and were still their dogs, the Qi Clan.
In such a place, what unexpected event could possibly occur that would make it use this substitute pearl?
It can simply wait for the right moment, until the barrier naturally collapses, and then crush the northern star region in one fell swoop!
But I never expected... that Su Bai would emerge from this northern star region.
He single-handedly changed the landscape of the entire northern star region, demonstrating not only extraordinary strength but also monstrous abilities.
He also devised a method specifically to deal with the Holy Race. In just a few months since his name first appeared, he has broken through countless of their plans.
If he were the only one who possessed this method, that would be one thing, but he also taught it to the rest of the Northern Star Region, suddenly giving the Qiguang Star and the Fallen Leaf Alliance, which they had previously disregarded, the power to rival them.
Dragon Lord did not find anything wrong with the Emperor's order. On the contrary, he thought the Emperor's order was too late. If it had been given when the Emperor had just destroyed the Qi Clan and killed Yuwen Mie, the Northern Star Region would probably have been theirs long ago.
How could things have turned out like this, causing such widespread panic?!
Of course... Dragon Lord also knew that this couldn't be blamed on Emperor Yu. After all, no one would have expected that the prodigy would grow so quickly, transforming in just a few months from a tiny ant who needed to exert all his strength to deal with Yuwen Mie, resulting in mutual destruction, into a powerful figure capable of killing a five-star Venerable.
"Cough cough cough~~ I'll remember this debt. When I emerge from seclusion, I will personally slay you." After coughing a few more times to clear the blood from his body, the Dragon Lord gazed at the gradually collapsing barrier, then flapped his wings and returned to his palace.
He began his seclusion to break through to the next level.
Although it cannot directly absorb the suppressed power of the Substitute Life Pearl, it can sense and absorb the residual star miasma left by the Substitute Life Pearl. Originally, it was only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Six-Star Venerable, and it will definitely be able to break through to the Six-Star Venerable realm in one fell swoop with the help of this method.
By then, it will not believe that anyone in the northern star region can stop it!
