440. The Mysterious Green King, the Azure Flood Dragon King in Danger!
"An Azure Flood Dragon King? How can it be? Wasn't the Azure Flood Dragon King devoured by the Green King?"
"Could there possibly be another king within the Azure Flood Dragon clan?"
A wave of panic swept through the many sea beasts. A King! Anything below that level could hardly harm a King. He's nearly invincible!
"Die!"
The Azure Flood Dragon King was seething with anger. With a swipe of its gigantic claw, countless sea beasts were turned to dust. The King opened its enormous mouth, reminiscent of a black hole, and began to devour everything in sight, leaving nothing behind. Perhaps there are more sea beasts on the island, but it no longer matters to the King. All it wanted was to assess the remaining numbers of the Azure Flood Dragon clan.
"Come out, you're safe now." The King's voice echoed through the void. Harnessing the bloodline of the Azure Flood Dragon within him, he effortlessly lifted the ancestral land's protective barrier. Seeing this, the Azure Flood Dragons inside finally confirmed their King's return.
"All hail the King!" Hundreds of Azure Flood Dragons prostrated themselves, paying their respects to their monarch.
The King, voice trembling, lamented, "Only a few hundred left?"
"Yes, my lord. Out of the tens of thousands of our kin, only these few remain."
"My King, from which generation are you?"
The Azure Flood Dragon asked cautiously.
"I am the 36th generation King of the Azure Flood Dragon clan!"
"The 36th generation? That's from tens of thousands of years ago, right?"
"My lord, thankfully you've returned. Our 39th-generation king was consumed by the Green King. If you had returned even a moment later, our entire clan would have been wiped out."
Relief washed over the Azure Flood Dragon clan. They were lucky to have the 36th-generation king return. Over the years, many kings of the clan had gone missing. These kings, blessed with long lives, would sometimes venture out and never return.
Thus, despite their long lifespans, the clan had seen over thirty generations. But occasionally, a king would return. Like now, when the return of the Azure Flood Dragon King came at the most critical juncture for their clan's survival. It could be said that the Azure Flood Dragon clan was truly fortunate.
"Hum."
The ancestral land of the Azure Flood Dragon clan, rich with the vital essence of generations of Flood Dragon Kings. Now, the present Flood Dragon King invoked a secret technique, harnessing the essences of his predecessors, gathering their collective strength.
This arcane skill was exclusive to the lineage of Flood Dragon Kings. The one that Green King had consumed had been devoured before reaching these ancestral lands. Hence, he had no chance to marshal these essences.
Yet now, the Azure Flood Dragon King summoned the power from the essences of generations past. Drops after drops, in dozens or even hundreds, emanated from the ancestral land. Converging in the sky, radiating an ominous aura.
"Roar..."
As the Azure Flood Dragon King let out a defiant bellow, those numerous essences seemed to manifest into phantom images of Azure Flood Dragons.
Two forms, one towering and the other subordinate, lunged at Green King, determined to subdue him in one swift move.
To the onlookers, Green King seemed to regard the hundreds of essences as insignificant.
But Green King was well aware those hundreds of essences, in truth, activated a mystical formation from the Azure Flood Dragon ancestral land.
The power of the formation, now fully awakened. Invisible forces converged from every direction, pressing down hard upon him. This oppressive force was far superior to the Azure Flood Dragon King's strength. Perhaps even more than tenfold.
However, as the Azure Flood Dragon King charged towards Green King, A sly smile crept upon Green King's lips. With a movement swift as lightning, he reached out, Grasping the head of the Azure Flood Dragon King, and slammed it down with tremendous force.
"Boom!"
The ground crumbled, leaving another massive pit.
The Azure Flood Dragon King was battered and bruised by this dreadful power.
Such wounds wouldn't be lethal. Yet, what stunned him was how Green King, even under the formation's oppression, could so effortlessly subdue him.
"Weak, truly weak," Green King remarked, "I had thought, given the Azure Dragon lineage in your clan, there might be some impressiveness. But it seems you remain pitifully feeble. Enough. I shan't toy with you any longer. Let's end this once and for all!"
It seemed Green King had been holding back. Now, he prepared to consume the Azure Flood Dragon King and bring everything to a close.
