Chapter 279: True Dragon, Nine Crowns
"Die!"
With an angry roar, Yu Yuanzhen fiercely swung his sharp claws, unleashing his first soul skill, Thunder Dragon Claw. The enormous dragon claw swept horizontally towards Xiao Yu and the other two.
As the dragon claws swung, the thunderous power surrounding Yu Yuanzhen surged wildly, transforming into countless electric snakes that poured towards Xiao Yu and the others like a deluge.
Under the influence of dragon transformation, Yu Yuanzhen's first soul skill could unleash an extremely terrifying power. The thunderous force attached to it had a strong paralyzing effect, making it very difficult to break free once it made contact.
The Guangling Douluo, who led the surprise attack on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was well aware of Yu Yuanzhen's close-combat abilities.
Therefore, he utilized the special nature of his own martial soul, employed long-range attacks, and capitalized on his soul power, which was one level higher than Yu Yuanzhen's, to prevent Yu Yuanzhen from getting close. Only in this way was he able to firmly suppress him.
Faced with Yu Yuanzhen's deadly claw, Xiao Yu made his move.
The skill of the hundred-thousand-year-old right arm soul bone, Ghostly Dragon Claw, was activated.
Black light flowed from Xiao Yu's right arm, which was covered in dragon scales. The entire arm rapidly expanded into a giant claw, twice the size of Yu Yuanzhen's Thunder Dragon Claw.
The pitch-black dragon claw swung fiercely, and the sharp claw tips twisted the air violently as if tearing it apart.
Boom!
The two dragon claws collided head-on in mid-air, and the Thunder Dragon Claw was instantly annihilated. The ink-black claw fiercely struck down, landing squarely on Yu Yuanzhen's chest.
Yu Yuanzhen let out a scream and was sent flying backward like a projectile, with countless dragon scales scattering through the air. Three terrifying wounds appeared on his chest, looking ferocious and dreadful.
Bang!
Yu Yuanzhen's body eventually slammed into the giant dragon statue standing on True Dragon Mountain, a symbol of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's supreme glory.
The statue collapsed instantly, and a powerful shockwave emanated from it. The strong airflow blew away the remains of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's disciples still piled up on True Dragon Mountain.
"Sixth soul skill, Sky-Shattering Dragon Roar!"
A thunderous dragon roar echoed from the rubble. The air churned with rolling sound blasts. Yu Yuanzhen's sixth soul skill was a large-scale sound wave attack, primarily aimed at inflicting damage on the spirit of soul masters.
"Showing off in front of an expert!"
Xiao Yu's spiritual power was incredibly formidable, not to mention the force that surpassed that of a god-king protecting him. Yu Yuanzhen's sound wave attack couldn't even cause a ripple in his spiritual sea.
The skill of the hundred-thousand-year-old right leg soul bone, teleportation, was activated. In a flash, Xiao Yu appeared in front of Yu Yuanzhen, and his right arm, still in the form of Ghostly Dragon Claw, delivered another heavy blow.
Yu Yuanzhen's face changed, and he crossed his arms, using his two thick dragon arms to protect himself.
Boom!
Another loud explosion, and the dragon scales on Yu Yuanzhen's arms flew everywhere. His chest was once again marked with three deep, bone-exposing wounds.
His massive body was sent flying backward and crashed directly into True Dragon Mountain. The ground shook violently.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's disciples, who were already struggling under the toxic fog attacks of Dugu Bo and Abrodi, fell to their knees and had difficulty getting back up.
Xiao Yu spoke indifferently, "This is the so-called number one beast soul in the world, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon? How disappointing!"
"Xiao Yu, the pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will never be defiled!"
Yu Yuanzhen valued the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul more than anything else in his life. To ensure the pure bloodline inheritance of the family's main disciples' soul, he could even expel his own son from the clan.
Now, hearing Xiao Yu mock the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul was even more unacceptable to him than personal insult.
"Seventh soul skill, True Body of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"
A blue-purple light instantly surged from within the True Dragon Mountain. Accompanied by a long, resonant dragon roar, a blue dragon over fifty meters long flew out from it.
"Eighth soul skill, Dragon Soaring Sky Thunder Blast!"
The moment Yu Yuanzhen appeared, the eighth soul ring around his dragon body lit up.
The blue-purple soul power immediately turned into thunder, shooting up into the sky and condensing into a huge blue-black thundercloud above Xiao Yu's head.
The thunderous power, producing explosive sounds, flowed within the thundercloud, as if gathering strength.
Whoosh!
In just a moment, these thunderous arcs burst forth from the thundercloud, each lightning bolt transforming into a thunder dragon as it fell, imbued with a powerful paralyzing effect.
"Nothing special. Yu Yuanzhen, compared to the Azure Bull Python in the Starfall Forest, your move falls far short!"
A cold shout rang out, and among the nine soul rings swirling around Xiao Yu, a pitch-black one lit up.
The space above Xiao Yu's head twisted, and in the next moment, a bottomless black hole appeared out of nowhere. Beams of light, carrying an aura of death, shot out from it and collided fiercely with the falling thunder dragons.
The sixth soul skill, Death Sanction.
The two energies collided rapidly, and sounds like the explosion of firecrackers suddenly rang out. The powerful impact spread like ripples, and the death beams and the thunder dragons, transformed from lightning, vanished in the intense collision.
"How could this be? This is just the kid's sixth soul skill!"
Yu Yuanzhen couldn't believe his eyes. With Yu Yuanzhen's discernment, when he lost the first two moves, he had already thought that Xiao Yu possessed two extremely high-quality right arm and head soul bones, which were likely hundred-thousand-year-old soul bones.
Losing to the number one treasure in the soul master world, the hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone, Yu Yuanzhen could just about convince himself.
But now, Xiao Yu had only used his sixth soul skill. Yu Yuanzhen had used his eighth soul skill under the dual enhancement of dragon transformation and soul true body. The two had just fought to a draw. Could it be that Xiao Yu's strength had really reached such a terrifying level?
"Yu Yuanzhen, your few moves are really quite boring!"
Xiao Yu said indifferently, "Use your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's ultimate treasure, the True Dragon Nine Crowns. Your entire clan only has this move worth my serious attention!"
True Dragon Nine Crowns!
A hint of hesitation flickered in the eyes of Yu Yuanzhen, who had transformed into a huge dragon.
The so-called True Dragon Nine Crowns were actually the fragments of the limbs, head, torso, tail, and wings of the ancient dragon king, who had self-destructed before his death, sealed in the nine mountains of the current Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect as the clan's ultimate treasure.
When used, it could awaken the ancient dragon king's soul that slept within, allowing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul master who absorbed these nine fragments to evolve their soul into the Golden Holy Dragon soul. Moreover, their own spirit, soul power, attributes, and soul skill power would all be greatly enhanced, entering a semi-divine state.
However, the price for being able to reach such a terrifying realm was also very heavy. The soul master who used the True Dragon Nine Crowns would inevitably die from backlash after the battle.
