Chapter 574: Slaying the True Dragon's Will!

A million martial artists was just a small number for the Boundless Realm, but this massacre had an enormous impact on the war.

It forced all martial artists of the Boundless Realm to rise up in resistance—it was a fight to the death!

The Windstorm Realm's actions left everyone baffled.

"We planted many covert agents in the Southern Domain and many hidden outposts near the Boundless Forest. Didn't they detect anything beforehand?" Ning Yixian said angrily.

Although the two ends of the Boundless Forest were essentially cut off from each other, as the alliance leader, how could Ning Yixian not try every means to plant some informants in the Southern Domain?

If they were completely in the dark, there would be no point in fighting this war.

The martial artist shook his head: "No news came back from the south. The hidden outposts in the Boundless Forest did detect something, but the five peak emperors were too fast; they simply had no time to send a message."

Ning Yixian's head throbbed. Three cities were just a tiny speck for the Northern Domain. But once this breach was opened, the Windstorm Realm could continuously send reinforcements through these three cities.

This inter-realm war had officially begun!

"Huff... Elder Hai, what do you think?" Ning Yixian was also a bit flustered now, so he sought advice from Seven Seas.

Seven Seas had been frowning all along. When Ning Yixian asked, he waved his hand and said: "Take the others back first. I'll wait here for Ye Yuan and those two to come out. Let's first figure out the enemy's intention behind the massacre before making a decision. Also, spread this news across the world so that every martial artist in the Boundless Realm knows they have no retreat! Either the Windstorm Realm is defeated, or they die!"

Seven Seas was clearly also unable to fathom the enemy's strategy. Since the passage between the two realms had opened, the Boundless Realm knew far too little about the Windstorm Realm to mount an effective response.

Ning Yixian sighed upon hearing this: "Then it has to be this way! I'll leave Ye Yuan to you, Elder Hai. I'll take them back now!"

Seven Seas frowned deeply, nodded without speaking, and looked up at the purple-gold name on the light screen.

Only after Ning Yixian had taken everyone away did Seven Seas gaze at Ye Yuan's name and let out a long sigh: "Ye Yuan, you are the Boundless Realm's last hope. Grow up quickly!"

...

Within the inheritance space, Ye Yuan's aura was growing weaker and weaker.

The vast energy contained in the True Dragon's Blood was on the verge of bursting him apart.

Just then, a vast consciousness instantly invaded Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness, taking the form of a cyan dragon!

"Boy, you dare to refine the noble True Dragon's Blood? Pay the price for your ignorance!"

The cyan dragon was extremely arrogant in Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness.

Although Ye Yuan was in agony, under the state of a heart as still as water, he still managed to preserve his consciousness.

"Before me, you dare to call yourself noble?" Ye Yuan said coldly.

"Hahaha... You're just a little brat at the Sea Transformation realm, yet you dare to act arrogantly before us noble dragons! Once I completely erase your consciousness and turn you into a walking corpse, let's see how you can still be arrogant before this dragon!" The cyan dragon laughed loudly.

"With just you?" Ye Yuan said disdainfully.

"Hmph! Ignorant child, still stubborn to the death! Although I am but a trace of residual consciousness, dealing with a little Sea Transformation realm brat like you is a piece of cake! Watch closely, I'll erase your consciousness completely!"

With that, the cyan dragon let out a dragon roar that shook Ye Yuan's consciousness to the point of nearly dispersing.

"Damn it! Why haven't the golden characters moved yet? If this goes on, this broken dragon will really shake my consciousness apart!"

The will of a True Dragon was no joke; they were the proudest and most domineering existence under this sky.

Even a mere trace of residual will was extremely proud and powerful.

Ye Yuan's fearlessness naturally relied on the golden characters in his sea of consciousness, but so far, they hadn't stirred at all!

"Damn it, in the end, I still have to rely on myself! Thousand Derivative Soul Art, break!"

Ye Yuan condensed his consciousness into a sword and stabbed it toward the cyan dragon!

"Haha, a petty trick! You think this can deal with this dragon?"

The cyan dragon extended a claw and lightly grabbed at the sword.

But just then, the black bead in Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness suddenly trembled.

The next moment, the massive illusory cyan dragon was struck as if by lightning, completely unable to move. Its extended dragon claw froze in place, unable to advance another inch!

"Chi!"

The soul sword Ye Yuan had condensed pierced straight through the illusory cyan dragon!

The clash of consciousness was the most perilous. Ye Yuan's soul sword embodied all his attainments in the soul; this strike was extraordinary!

"Ah! How could this dragon be killed by a Sea Transformation realm brat? Impossible! Imposs—"

The cyan dragon's roar grew weaker and weaker until the illusory figure dissolved into nothing and vanished.

"Huff..."

Ye Yuan let out a long breath and looked with astonishment at the black bead in his sea of consciousness.

"What origin does this black bead have, to possess such power and bind the True Dragon's will?"

If not for the black bead's intervention today, Ye Yuan would never have been able to dispatch the cyan dragon so easily.

This black bead was too mysterious; he had no idea what its origin was.

But through today's events, Ye Yuan could be certain that the black bead's origin was absolutely extraordinary!

After all, the True Dragon's will was one of the strongest wills in heaven and earth. Even Ye Yuan dared not claim he could definitely handle it.

Yet the black bead merely trembled slightly, and the dragon formed from that will was rendered immobile.

At this moment, Ye Yuan sadly realized that he harbored many earth-shattering secrets, but he couldn't control a single one.

"No time to overthink. I need to absorb the True Dragon's Blood quickly!" Ye Yuan quickly gathered his mind and focused on absorbing the True Dragon's Blood.

Without the True Dragon's will dominating, the True Dragon's Blood became much more docile, less violent than before.

The powerful energy in the dragon blood continuously baptized Ye Yuan's body, strengthening his yuan force.

Ye Yuan's aura visibly swelled.

Half a day later, Ye Yuan smoothly broke through to the sixth level of Sea Transformation!

"Hmm? What's going on? That kid... is breaking through?"

The black-robed man, seeing Ye Yuan already grievously wounded and near death, had stopped paying attention to him.

Suddenly sensing someone breaking through, he quickly focused on Ye Yuan. One look, and he was startled.

Ye Yuan's skin, which had been cracked all over, was now not only fully healed but had turned bronze, faintly revealing immense power!

Not only was there no sign of injury, but Ye Yuan's aura was terrifyingly strong!

"He... he actually succeeded in refining the True Dragon's Blood? How... how is that possible? The True Dragon's will is extremely violent; he's only at Sea Transformation. How could he have overcome the True Dragon's will?" This time, the black-robed man was truly shocked.
