985. The only solution
Before rushing to this battle, Xiao Yan had made full preparations, converting all the fighting spirit in his body into soul power.
In the previous battles, even when Xiao Yan used his soul power, he still had some limitations. But now, his soul power, which is close to its peak at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm, is beginning to fully reveal its sharpness!
Even though the Western Dragon King's soul power was already among the best in the early stages of the Heavenly Realm, he was still caught off guard without any resistance. His five senses were completely stripped away, his soul fell into nothingness, and he lost control of his body.
At the same time, Xiao Yan's soul power was being rapidly depleted, so controlling others would come at a great cost. However, Xiao Yan was not stingy with this expenditure; he had waited so long for this opportunity, naturally with a purpose.
Two invisible streams of soul power shot out swiftly, one to the left and one to the right, their target the Western Dragon King's head!
Heavenly Rank Soul Skill: Hidden Shadow Needle!
These Shadow Needles cannot be condensed during battle; at most, three can be saved in advance. Xiao Yan had only used one before, but now, facing the Western Dragon King, he used them all without reservation!
Now that the Western Dragon King's soul is controlled by Xiao Yan, he is completely unable to react to the subsequent attacks, and the Hidden Shadow Needles hit him all the way!
The Western Dragon King was still incredibly powerful, and Xiao Yan had no intention of controlling him for too long. The Western Dragon King's physical training was too terrifying; without using a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique, it would be difficult to severely injure him in any other way.
So when the Western Dragon King's soul came to its senses, it realized that its mind was about to explode. Countless soul forces that had rushed into its body began to run wildly and churn. Even if it ignored everything outside and focused all its attention on controlling its internal organs, it was still powerless.
Due to the excruciating pain in his soul, the Western Dragon King could no longer maintain his human form and transformed back into his original form, the Ancient Dragon of the Void.
Meanwhile, due to the constant conflict of soul power within his body, blood continued to flow from his head. No matter how strong his physical body was, his soul was still his weakness, not to mention that Xiao Yan had firmly grasped this weakness.
For the Western Dragon King, nothing else mattered now. He had to suppress the turmoil in his soul, or he might even perish.
Therefore, he can no longer control what Xiao Yan is doing outside.
At the same time, Xiao Yan had no intention of continuing to attack the Western Dragon King. Instead, he took out a pill from his storage ring, chewed it a couple of times, and swallowed it. He had refrained from using the pill to recover his Dou Qi earlier in order to create the illusion for the Western Dragon King that his Dou Qi had no limits, thus paving the way for his soul to erupt.
The devouring power within his right arm was fully unleashed, drawing in all the mixed battle energy from the outside world. He activated the Heavenly Rank technique, the Burning Art, at full power, exhausting all his energy to recover from his internal depletion.
Under this luxurious combination of techniques, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi, which was originally almost depleted, was quickly restored.
Despite being on the battlefield, Xiao Yan remained calm, constantly considering the overall situation in his mind.
He was well aware that his real opponent was not the Western Dragon King. Even if he used all his methods to completely kill the Western Dragon King today, it still wouldn't truly change the course of the battle. After all, if one Western Dragon King fell, there were two even stronger ones waiting.
What I really need to do is to rescue Ziyan!
As long as Ziyan is rescued, they will have a choice: to fight or to flee.
At the same time, Xiao Yan was also well aware that the evil energy array that trapped Zi Yan, as well as the Northern Dragon King guarding her side, were not so easy to deal with.
If he wanted to defeat the Northern Dragon King and rescue Zi Yan, the most effective fighting technique he could rely on was naturally the Buddha's Wrath Lotus.
The Four-Colored Fire Lotus was already somewhat strained at the Half-Saint level, but now that Xiao Yan's strength has increased, his primordial flames have also been enhanced accordingly. Not to mention, in the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan obtained the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame, which will further boost the power of the Fire Lotus.
There's a chance, and it's the last chance.
Yan Jin is unable to come now, his teacher has gone to the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, and Qing Lin is still in a critical period of cultivation. Xiao Yan must solve the current troubles himself.
During battles, Xiao Yan always acted decisively and without hesitation. The five flames within his body rapidly rose and appeared docilely in his palm.
The Burning Technique within his body circulated rapidly, and the five flames began to intertwine and merge according to Xiao Yan's will. No matter how much the strange flames were attached to Xiao Yan, they were still extremely violent flame energies in essence, naturally antagonistic to other strange flames.
As the fusion began, waves of energy spread out like ocean waves. This level of energy naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.
If it were an ordinary person causing this commotion, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has already recognized Xiao Yan's identity. Knowing Xiao Yan means they must know his signature move, the renowned Fire Lotus Fighting Technique that resonates throughout the Central Plains.
This fighting technique followed Xiao Yan from the Four Directions Pavilion to the Pill Tower, and finally to the Ancient Clan, proving invincible and contributing to the series of legends he created.
Therefore, the Southern Dragon King and the Northern Dragon King of the Three Islands Alliance of the Ancient Dragon Clan of Taixu are well aware that they must stop Xiao Yan from releasing this fighting technique, as they do not want to become part of Xiao Yan's legendary experience.
The Southern Dragon King looked around. The Northern Dragon King's plan to devour the dragon was still in a critical period. After all, Zi Yan was a genuine descendant of the Dragon Emperor. Now that she had devoured the Dragon Emperor's Origin Fruit, it was impossible for her to be completely devoured in a short time.
The Western Dragon King was originally evenly matched with Xiao Yan, but after Xiao Yan's soul power suddenly erupted, he froze in place, occasionally twitching and constantly roaring in low voices, and did nothing at all. Even now, he showed no intention of stopping Xiao Yan.
"Damn it!"
The Southern Dragon King cursed angrily and prepared to leave to stop Xiao Yan, who was fusing with the Fire Lotus.
But he hadn't gone far when Aoki, his longtime rival, reappeared before him. He had initially thought Aoki was no match for him, that after being suppressed for so long, he would surely cherish the chance to catch his breath. But the Southern Dragon King underestimated the resolve of the man before him. Elder Aoki, a three-star Dou Sheng in his early stages, was covered in blood and wounds, but his eyes shone brightly with an unyielding, relentless fire. He stared intently at the Southern Dragon King.
The Southern Dragon King then discovered that he could suppress Elder Qingmu, but whenever he tried to break free, Elder Qingmu would swiftly unleash his fighting techniques, forcing him to retaliate. Thus, he was once again entangled in a protracted battle, unable to escape.
"Damn it! Aoki, you old bastard, you're actually burning your very essence to fight! Aren't you afraid you'll die and vanish immediately after this battle?"
