…
The Golden Dragon King, as the strongest being in the Canglan Realm, mastered all the Laws.
The Silver Dragon King was slightly different.
It specialized in one specific path and was also known as the Dragon of Time.
It was the supreme master of the power of time.
At the same time, there was no God of Time in the Canglan World, nor was there a Time Divine System, because the entire Law was monopolized by this single dragon!
"You bunch of insects, you brought this death upon yourselves!"
The Silver Dragon King's pupils narrowed into vertical slits.
It opened its massive maw.
Roar——!A draconic roar erupted from deep within its throat.
The sound grew increasingly sharp, and the sound waves radiating out caused the surrounding space to gradually turn viscous.
The movements of all the deities present simultaneously froze, even the Auspicious Beasts who had just regained their peak strength couldn't resist.
Time gradually slowed down until it came to a complete standstill.
Within the range of the dragon's roar, everything paused.
Poseidon's Trident halted mid-air, the lightning frozen in place, like an insect trapped in amber.
The trickle of blood at the corner of Eve's mouth hung suspended below her chin, the emerald-green life force around her body motionless.
Hades gripped his shattered scythe, maintaining a posture to steady himself, like a sculpture.
Lucifer's Hellfire stopped on the blade of his sword, the shape of the flames clearly visible yet no longer flickering.
The waves stopped.
The wind ceased.
Even the air no longer flowed.
The entire world became a still painting.
Only the Silver Dragon King could still move.
It slowly turned its massive draconic head, sweeping a cold gaze over these overreaching deities around it.
Poseidon's face still held traces of anxiety and fury, Eve's eyes contained shock and stubbornness, Hades was expressionless yet his eyes were gloomy—all frozen in this moment.
"Annoying insects."
"When the Primordial God created the world, he shouldn't have given you the chance to become deities!
When the Primordial God left, he should have had us bite you all to death, letting me and the Golden Dragon King rule the Divine Realm!
Still, it's not too late to deal with you now!"
The Silver Dragon King muttered in a low voice, its wings slowly spreading.
Violent divine power surged from within its body, spreading out in all directions like a tidal wave.
The ripples of divine power swept over every frozen deity,
and the divine power within their bodies began to leak uncontrollably.
Poseidon's divine power, Eve's divine power, Hades's divine power, Lucifer's, the Goddess of Love's, the divine power of all the deities of the Sea Divine System, all transformed into silvery-white points of light, converging towards the Silver Dragon King.
The Silver Dragon King condensed this divine power into a cluster before it, then pushed with a claw.
Boom——!
That condensed divine power returned along the exact same path.
Only this time, this divine power had completely lost the deities' control, transforming into sharp, chaotic streams of divine power that slammed fiercely back into each deity's body.
Time resumed.
The attacks took effect.
Thud——!
Muffled explosions rang out one after another.
Poseidon looked as if he had been struck by a mountain, his face paled, divine blood instantly spraying from his mouth, the Sea God's Trident flying from his grasp as his entire body was sent flying backward.
Eve fared worse, her own life force transformed into an attack that struck back into her body.
Emerald-green light exploded on her, vines wildly growing from within her only to rapidly wither.
She let out a miserable scream, her body falling into the Endless Sea like a kite with its string cut.
Hades's Ghostly Fire poured back into his body, eerie green flames burning across him, he gritted his teeth without making a sound, but the black blood seeping from the corner of his mouth indicated he was seriously injured.
Lucifer's Hellfire backlashed, the black fire on his six pairs of wings instantly spreading across his entire body, he grunted and plummeted from the sky.
The other deities, needless to say, were in even more miserable states.
For this wave, the Silver Dragon King had clearly held back, probably wanting to keep them alive for interrogation later. Otherwise, just during the time stop, the Silver Dragon King would have had ten thousand ways to kill them, to crush their Divine Sparks.
"Long live His Majesty the Silver Dragon King!"
"You traitors dare to attack the Silver Dragon King? You don't know your own limits!"
"Kill them! Kill these traitorous rebels!"
Those dozen or so Middle Gods stood in the distance, each flushed with excitement, waving their fists and cheering. The leading Middle God in particular wore a face full of fawning, practically wishing he could kneel down and kowtow to the Silver Dragon King.
The Silver Dragon King paid them no mind.
It withdrew its gaze, locking onto Li Qingran once more.
Its massive draconic head lowered, those vertical pupils staring closely at this human girl.
Icy breath blew against Li Qingran's face, carrying an ancient, frigid aura.
"Where is the Golden Dragon King?" The Silver Dragon King's tone was low.
Li Qingran shot a cold glance at the Silver Dragon King and said nothing.
Her Master was right inside her Battle Soul Space right now.
Uttering even one extra word would be disrespectful to her Master's combat power.
She lifted her chin, her nostrils aimed at the Silver Dragon King, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms over her chest, putting on an air of 'what are you going to do about it'. The surrounding Auspicious Beasts also looked at the Silver Dragon King with mocking expressions, not placing this Dragon King in their eyes at all, instead having a bit of a 'watching tigers fight from a mountain' flavor. It didn't even require excessive language to embellish, it directly enraged the Silver Dragon King.
"You won't speak?" The Silver Dragon King's voice turned colder, "Fine, fine, fine! You think just because you won't speak, I have no methods?"
Li Qingran still held her chin high.
The Silver Dragon King's patience was completely exhausted.
"Since you stubbornly resist, I'll crush you first, then search your soul."
As soon as the words fell, the dragon's claw lifted.
Five blade-like talons gleamed with cold light under the sun, carrying power sufficient to tear apart Laws, descending towards Li Qingran.
Li Qingran closed her eyes, her long hair dancing wildly in the gale.
In her heart, she silently recited—
Stinky Master, if you don't come out now.
Your sweetheart disciple will be gone~
In the distance, Poseidon roared, wanting to charge over, but his severely injured body simply couldn't make it in time.
Eve closed her eyes in pain.
A trace of despair surfaced in Hades's eyes.
It was too late.
The dragon's claw fell, and just as those five talons were about to touch Li Qingran's skin—
"This Venerable One!"
"Is out!"
A pale, slender hand stretched out from the very center of Li Qingran's chest.
That hand wasn't large, the knuckles distinct, even looking somewhat thin and weak.
But with just a single index finger, it stopped the Silver Dragon King's dragon claw.
With just that light touch, the dragon claw halted.
It was like a mountain crashing down, yet held up by a single feather, utterly motionless.
The Silver Dragon King's pupils contracted sharply.
It sensed a terrifying oppressive might emanating from that hand, spreading along the dragon claw to its entire arm, then to its whole body.
The feeling was like being stared at by a beast a hundred times more powerful than itself, every single cell in its body screaming for it to flee.
"You…"
Before the Silver Dragon King could finish its words, its expression had completely changed.
Not because it had seen this hand before, or recognized the hand's owner, but because of the aura!
—That hand carried the Golden Dragon King's aura.
But it was different, stronger, purer, more ancient than the Golden Dragon King's.
A powerful premonition arose.
The Golden Dragon King had been devoured.
By the owner of this hand.
There was great terror ahead!
The Silver Dragon King wanted to retreat.
It mobilized all its divine power, its wings flared open violently, its body leaning back.
But that hand's index finger bent slightly, then gave a light flick.
Boom——!
With a muffled, thunderous crash.
The Silver Dragon King's body, larger than the Sea God's True Form, had its scales shatter, its entire draconic form sent flying backward.
It 'thumped' into the sea, the seawater split in two, unable to close for a long time.
