Chapter 589: I Want You, Dragon King... to Submit

BOOM!

At that moment, the Patriarch of the Zong Family, who had been hiding in the crowd, made his move!

A hand reached out from the void, grabbing for the Ancient Battle Spear and ignoring its killing intent.

As a Nirvana Great Power at the Divine Silence Level, his body had transformed and could be called indestructible. He completely disregarded the weapon's lethality, intending to crush both it and Ye Wushuang with a single grasp!

"Patriarch of the Zong Family, are you looking to die?!"

Just then, a cold, ghostly voice echoed from the void, but no figure could be seen!

The Zong Family Patriarch, however, felt a chill run down his spine!

SWISH!

A dark figure shot out of the void, plunging a sharp dagger into the Zong Family Patriarch's body. A spray of fresh blood flew out!

"It's a Soul Transformation Level assassin!"

The members of the various Major Influences were all shocked as they watched the dark figure appear out of nowhere!

In the Grand Emperor Country, aside from the Holy Palace, the one organization most feared by the other Major Influences was the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop. Their Assassination Techniques were terrifying.

No one had expected that Ye Wushuang actually had the support of the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop!

"Hahaha!"

But just then, the Zong Family Patriarch began to laugh maniacally.

"A mere Soul Transformation Level assassin, how ignorant. A Divine Silence Level expert's body has undergone Nirvana. I fear no injury. How could you possibly kill me?!"

The Zong Family Patriarch said with disdain.

The Nirvana Realm is divided into the Soul Transformation Level, the Divine Silence Level, and the Yun Dao Level!

At the Soul Transformation Level, one's Divine Sense merges with their soul. After enduring the tribulation of the Nine Heavens' Thunder Punishment, a Divine Soul can be born. At the Divine Silence Level, one uses their Divine Soul to communicate with heaven and earth, tempering their body with supreme True Essence and achieving Divinization of their organs and acupoints, undergoing Mortal Ascension!

Therefore, a Divinized body possesses an indestructible quality. As long as the damage isn't too severe, it can be repaired quickly, making it incredibly formidable!

Thus, the Assassination Technique had not truly harmed the Zong Family Patriarch, even though he was only at the First Layer of the Divine Silence Level!

"Ye Wushuang is going to die, and you can die with him."

The Zong Family Patriarch's eyes were frigid. He abruptly raised his other hand and lunged for the elderly assassin.

The Soul Transformation Level assassin was horrified and quickly dove into the void. However, the Patriarch's hand also reached into the void, dragged him out, and clutched him tightly!

Everyone who witnessed this was stunned!

Ye Wushuang was also deeply shocked. He had only vaguely witnessed the power of a Divine Silence Level expert before, when the one from Celestial Dome had acted.

But that had been a blur. Now, he saw it with perfect clarity. That kind of physical body was even more terrifying than his Treasure Body!

"Die!"

Seizing the opening, Zong Shuai's eyes glinted with a venomous light as he blasted an attack toward Ye Wushuang's chest, preparing to obliterate him completely!

However, just as Zong Shuai made his move, the Patriarch's hand that was reaching for Ye Wushuang was obliterated by a pillar of light that burst from the void!

Ye Wushuang managed to break free.

At that same moment, another cold, ghostly voice echoed from the void: "The Divine Silence Level doesn't mean you're invincible!"

As the voice fell, a thin figure emerged from the void behind the Zong Family Patriarch!

It was Elder Ying, who had been protecting Ye Wushuang all along!

A sharp dagger pierced through the back of the Zong Family Patriarch's head!

Instantly, a flash of terror appeared in the Zong Family Patriarch's eyes. He finally knew the taste of death!

Stabbing his body couldn't kill him, but he was defenseless against an attack that pierced his Divine Court and annihilated his Divine Soul!

Clearly, that terrifying dagger had already run through his Divine Court!

BANG!

In that same instant, the Ancient Battle Spear also shattered Zong Shuai's final layer of Holy Light!

"Quick, go!"

In his death throes, the Zong Family Patriarch unleashed a powerful burst of energy to force Elder Ying back, then grabbed the near-death Zong Shuai and dove into the void.

Elder Ying didn't give chase. With his Divine Soul destroyed, the Zong Family Patriarch's death was certain!

Then, he vanished back into the void without a sound.

The leaders of the various Major Influences were now deeply wary. A Divine Silence Level expert had been killed. The Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop was truly terrifying!

Of course, at this moment, no one noticed the Corpse King, Xie Zhixuan, say a word to a Nirvana Realm elder from the Corpse Sect, who then flickered away and departed.

"Does anyone else want to fight?"

Ye Wushuang's gaze swept across the Celestial Prides in the crowd.

For a long time, no one spoke. The third-ranked Celestial Pride on the Dragon List had been defeated. Besides the Dragon King and Dongfang Wudi, who could possibly be a match for Ye Wushuang?

Lu Chenglong and Young Master Xie Qing chose to remain silent, knowing full well they were no match for Ye Wushuang.

"It seems the final battle has come early!"

The Dragon King glanced at Xuan Wuji beside him.

Xuan Wuji shrugged. "If you want to fight, then fight. This battle was bound to happen sooner or later."

The Dragon King nodded and took a step forward.

Instantly, all eyes fell upon him. Many were deeply wary of the man ranked first on the Dragon List!

In the Holy City, the Dragon King was the representative of the Celestial Prides. His Mad Dragon Battle Body was considered the number one physique in the entire Grand Emperor Country!

No one fully understood the extent of his abilities. Even Dongfang Wudi, with his Hundred Battles Body, had been defeated without forcing the Dragon King to reveal his full strength!

No one had the slightest doubt about the Dragon King's power. He was undoubtedly number one!

Even the various Patriarchs sighed internally. They all wanted to recruit this junior, the Dragon King, but unfortunately, he answered to no one.

"Ye Wushuang, there was always going to be a battle between us. I just didn't expect it to come so soon!"

The Dragon King walked toward Ye Wushuang and spoke calmly, shocking the geniuses on the Dragon List and from the major influences. So the Dragon King had always considered Ye Wushuang an opponent.

Ye Wushuang stared back at the Dragon King. 'Judging by his actions in the Profound North Realm, the Dragon King isn't as detestable as the others!'

'Perhaps I can recruit him to my side!'

Ye Wushuang's eyes narrowed as he made up his mind.

"In this battle, if you win, I will give you the Moon God Flower and the Profound Wood Black Gold Vein. If you lose, everyone else must leave this place immediately, and you, Dragon King, will submit to me. I happen to be in need of a War General, and you fit the bill."

Ye Wushuang stared at the Dragon King, speaking word by word with immense arrogance. He wanted to make the Dragon King his War General!

"What?!"

The faces of those behind the Dragon King darkened, and they nearly coughed up blood!

"Ye Wushuang, you're too arrogant! You want the Dragon King to submit to you? Ridiculous! What a joke!"

The Dragon List geniuses were all indignant.

The Dragon King was first on the Dragon List, an idol they admired and revered. If he gave a command, they would follow without hesitation!

But now, Ye Wushuang was demanding that the Dragon King—that their idol—submit to him and become his War General. How was that possible? In their eyes, this was a complete humiliation of the Dragon King!

"Fine, I accept your terms!"

A Dragon Shadow flickered in the Dragon King's eyes as he nodded with supreme confidence. 'The chances of Ye Wushuang defeating me are minuscule!'

"Dragon King!"

Hearing the Dragon King agree, the people behind him grew anxious.

"Have faith in him!"

Xuan Wuji spoke up. He had personally witnessed the Dragon King's methods and knew how terrifying he was. Although Ye Wushuang was strong, he still couldn't win!

"Brothers, the Dragon King is number one on the Dragon List, an invincible existence! For Ye Wushuang to provoke him is to ask for his own humiliation!"

One of the Dragon List geniuses laughed.

"That's right! Ye Wushuang, if you can actually defeat the Dragon King, we swear we'll become your War Generals too! But don't even dream of it, hahaha!"

The crowd burst into derisive laughter, their faces filled with scorn.

"Is that so? Then you can all wait to become my War Generals!"

Ye Wushuang laughed as well.
