Supreme Power

Clearly, the castle and the Ten Thousand Dragon's Nest were not on the same level at all, unable to withstand such a fierce impact.

The Ten Thousand Dragon's Nest remained unscathed, while the castle burst open with a loud explosion. Countless powerful demon clan members turned into dust in the terrifying collision. Only a few demon clan strongmen managed to survive due to their formidable strength.

Originally, this castle was built by the human race but later occupied by the demon clan. Although they had learned how to control the castle during their occupation, these demon clan beings were not highly intelligent and lacked strong control. While they could manage well on the periphery, navigating through this distorted space seemed to throw them into disarray, resulting in the previous scene.

Now that the castle was shattered, out of the millions of demon clan strongmen, only tens of thousands survived. These demon clan strongmen were tall and imposing, with bone horns on their heads, bat-like wings on their backs, and fierce-looking green faces with fangs.

What astonished Long Chen was that although the number of these demon clan strongmen was not large, there were actually three Ninth Vein Celestial Saints among them. In this context, the Ninth Vein Celestial Saints referred to those who had achieved that level in their innate talents.

There were hundreds of Eighth Vein Celestial Saints and the rest were all Seventh Vein Celestial Saints. Going further down the hierarchy, there were none, as all demon clan strongmen below Seventh Vein Celestial Saint were killed in the collision.

Whoosh!

Long Chen appeared in front of the Ten Thousand Dragon's Nest, his large hand spread open, unleashing the power of thunder that formed into a vast net, covering the land.

Countless demon clan strongmen's bodies lay densely on the ground. Long Chen's net obliterated these bodies, directly sweeping them into the chaotic space.

These demon clan strongmen had just lost their castle and were still in a state of shock and anger. Seeing Long Chen arrogantly coming out to collect the bodies, their anger surged.

"Buzz"

The leader of the demon clan, with nine strands of demonic energy coiling around him, roared in anger. Nine dragon veins surged behind him as he held a blood-colored steel fork, thrusting it fiercely toward Long Chen. His attack combined the power of nine dragon veins, aiming to kill Long Chen in a single blow.

However, in the face of the demon clan leader's all-out attack, Long Chen paid it no mind. With a swift motion, his large hand appeared, grabbing the steel fork. The figure of Song Mingyuan appeared.

"What's going on?"

The demon clan strongman was greatly surprised. His attack was forceful and uncompromising, without any reservations. However, the moment the steel fork was grasped by Song Mingyuan, his strength dissipated like a mudslide into the sea, disappearing without a trace.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was an explosion behind the demon clan strongman. Nine demonic dragons ignited roaring flames, and a surge of demonic energy rose to the sky. The steel fork emitted a thunderous roar, and its immense power rushed toward Song Mingyuan like a tsunami.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Yet, Song Mingyuan's large hand trembled slightly, and ripples appeared on the ground beneath his feet. Runes nearby rippled like waves, spreading in all directions.

"You don't need to step on the ground to draw the enemy's power into the earth and absorb the power of fate with the earth's energy." Long Chen tossed the bodies into the dark soil of the chaotic space and watched Song Mingyuan's demeanor, nodding inwardly.

As he had expected, the current Song Mingyuan, merged with the Dragon Soul, had tempered his sharpness and comprehended the essence of earth's power.

The power of fate was firm, while the power of the earth was yielding. This was a classic example of using softness to overcome hardness. Song Mingyuan didn't need to employ his own innate source of power; he could swiftly drain the opponent's dragon vein power.

The current Song Mingyuan had changed his entire demeanor, shedding his aura of ruthlessness and gaining a sense of benevolence and stability.

With a barehanded grasp of the steel fork, he remained unmoving no matter how the opponent exerted force. It resonated with the poetic sentiment of him being strong in his own right, like a gentle breeze brushing a hill or a bright moon casting its light over a great river.

With a casual strike, Long Chen could tell that these individuals were far from being a match for Song Mingyuan.

"Buzz buzz."

The other two demon clan strongmen saw the unfavorable situation and suddenly flickered in their figures. One on the left and one on the right, they simultaneously attacked Song Mingyuan, their two steel forks whistling through the air.

Song Mingyuan gripped the steel fork in his right hand and slowly formed a seal with his left hand. Suddenly, the space quivered, and two shields about seven feet in diameter appeared on either side of Song Mingyuan.

These shields were a dark yellow color and made up of numerous thick earth runes. They weren't large, with a diameter of only three feet, and their thickness was just half a foot.

"Plup plup."

The two steel forks pierced the shields simultaneously. Their sharp tips penetrated the shields, breaking through and revealing a sharp edge about half a foot long.

However inconspicuous these shields might seem, they completely exhausted the individual strengths of the two attackers. Although the shields were pierced, they couldn't harm Song Mingyuan at all.

Seeing this scene, Long Chen's heart couldn't help but race. The current Song Mingyuan had undergone a complete transformation. These shields were nothing more than the most basic manifestation of his earth-based power, yet they effortlessly blocked the full-force attacks of two Ninth Vein Celestial Saints.

Long Chen couldn't imagine what level of defense Song Mingyuan's power would reach if he were to unleash his full strength. The situation had forced Song Mingyuan to transition entirely from offense to defense, finally unlocking the most potent power of the Auspicious Dragon.

The three major demon clan strongmen were horrified. Their previous anger had vanished, replaced by expressions of pure shock. It had now dawned on them just how terrifying an opponent they were facing.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Realizing the unfavorable situation, the three of them frantically attempted to retrieve their weapons. Unable to overpower Song Mingyuan, fleeing became their best option. However, their weapons were now trapped by the power of the earth, and no matter how hard they struggled to reclaim them, their weapons remained immovable.

"Plup plup plup."

Suddenly, three beams of golden radiance pierced through the void, accompanied by three streams of blood rain. The heads of the three demon clan strongmen were pierced by the golden radiance, instantly erasing their lives.

Long Chen was taken aback, but as he turned his head, he saw Guo Ran holding a golden giant crossbow, aimed directly at them. Obviously, those three arrows were his doing.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, the golden giant crossbow in Guo Ran's hand trembled violently. A burst of arrow light shot out, and countless arrows formed into a torrent, resembling a tornado as it surged toward the camp of the demon clan strongmen.

"Thousand Blades Arrows."

Guo Ran shouted, and the torrent of arrows burst within the group of demon clan strongmen.

"Plup plup plup..."

The torrent of arrows formed a massive vortex, and within the relentless barrage, all the demon clan strongmen were instantly annihilated.

"That move is fierce!" Long Chen was startled by this scene. He hadn't expected that Guo Ran had such a powerful technique up his sleeve. Not only was its killing potential astonishing, but most importantly, it didn't even involve using dragon vein power. Guo Ran relied solely on the strength of his bow and arrows to wipe out the entire group.

"Hahaha, I said I would make the boss look at me with new eyes."

Seeing Long Chen's shocked expression, Guo Ran's vanity was deeply satisfied like never before.

"This is a major killing move that I meticulously developed in the Dragon Domain. I spent a long time thinking about it. With Xia Chen's assistance, I finally completed it. I wanted to test it today, hehe, and the effect turned out to be quite satisfactory." Guo Ran's face was filled with pride as he patted the golden crossbow in his hand.

"Impressive, to instantly annihilate Eighth Vein Celestial Saints… This is quite extraordinary."

Although he found it hard to bear Guo Ran's smug expression, Long Chen was still shocked. He couldn't fathom how this move could be so powerful.

"With this one move, you've nullified half a month's effort."

Just then, Xia Chen's figure appeared.
