The soul body of the Golden Dragon King was cleaved in half by Luo Yu's sword, dissipating in the void.
At the same moment, the corpse of the Golden Dragon King on the ground rapidly expanded, transforming back into its original form—a thousand-zhang-long giant dragon's divine body appeared.
Filling and even overflowing the vast crater.
Crack, crunch!
The ground collapsed a second time, cracks appeared, unable to bear the astonishing weight of the divine body.
From the severed head, a constant stream of golden-red blood flowed forth.
What was once a desolate land was quickly covered by blood, forming a Blood Color Lake.
The dragon's body, covered in golden lustrous scales, still reflected the sunlight, shimmering brilliantly as if to showcase the immense power it had possessed in life.
Though the dragon had died, its might lingered on.
The terrifying Dragon Might spread out, deterring any creature within a thousand miles from approaching.
Yet, Luo Yu and Gu Yuena paid it no heed.
If they weren't afraid of it in life, why would they fear it in death?
Luo Yu turned his head to look at Gu Yuena, noticing a hint of sorrow between her brows.
Before he could ask, Gu Yuena said to Luo Yu,
"Brother Yu, it's okay."
"I'm not saddened by his death; it's just that with the Nine Great Dragon Kings all gone, and now the Golden Dragon King has disappeared from this world, I am the only pure-blooded member of the Dragon Clan left."
Luo Yu flashed to Gu Yuena's side, sheathed the unstained Nine Heavens Execution Sword, and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
Lowering his forehead, he buried it in her cascade of silver hair, whispering softly,
"No, you have me."
"Mhm."
Gu Yuena nodded in response.
"Actually, if the Golden Dragon King hadn't been so cruel and bloodthirsty, I wouldn't have thought to kill him."
"And even more so since he wanted to conspire with me against you in the end—that made him even more deserving of death."
"No one should even think of laying a hand on..."
Gu Yuena's voice halted mid-sentence.
"Why don't you continue?" Luo Yu's lips curled into a gentle smile.
"Don't want to." Gu Yuena shook her head, her cheeks tinting pink.
"If you won't say it, I'll just have to kiss you."
Gu Yuena lowered her head to gaze at her snowy, petite Jade Feet, her crystal-clear toes glimmering faintly.
She spoke with a bashful hesitation,
"No one should even think of touching my man."
"Hahaha."
Luo Yu laughed heartily and then reached out to caress the beauty's smooth chin, leaning in to kiss her crimson peach lips.
"Don't!"
At first, Gu Yuena pounded on the man's chest with her dainty fists.
Then, she gave up resisting.
Her arms wrapped tightly around him.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
At this moment, the sound of objects tearing through the air came from afar, streaks of light rushing towards them as if urgent, arriving in an instant.
They reached the battlefield.
Luo Yu and Gu Yuena, sensing the newcomers, quickly let go of each other.
At the same time, they turned their heads to look in the direction of the newcomers.
One after another, streaks of light arrived, belonging to members of the Yan Huang Alliance.
Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu were dressed in simple gray robes, exuding simplicity.
The Golden-eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian wore tight-fitting black attire.
The women were dressed to impress.
Empress Bibi Dong, in an exquisite golden gown, her wine-red hair cascading over her shoulders, her phoenix eyes stunningly beautiful.
Qian Renxue, with golden hair softly falling and an Angel mark on her forehead, clad in a spirited battle dress, exposed pale shoulders adding a different kind of allure, standing in boots with her long, straight, flawless white legs.
Bossi wore a red dress with a ribbon tied at the waist, highlighting her slim figure and accentuating a stunning curve and proud figure; even without makeup, her face was refined and her demeanor extraordinary.
The A'yin Sisters, in their palace cheongsam, tightly hugged their well-proportioned bodies, their fair legs peeking out from the slits in their skirts. On their feet, sky-blue high heels exposed their insteps, the tapered heels accentuating their perfect figures, exuding elegance with a touch of allure.
Zi Ji was clad in a long gown of black gauze, with fiery red lips and her hair coiled up like that of a noble lady, her deep purple enchanting eyes were profound, revealing a bewitching charm. Bi Ji, on the other hand, donned a bright green long dress, exuding a gentle and extraordinary temperament, transcending the ordinary with her elegant grace.
As for the others, because of their inadequate strength, they couldn't keep up with the pace of those ahead and were still making their way from behind.
Everyone had been worried, fearing that something might have happened to Luo Yu.
So when the battle fluctuations ended, they all hurried over, only to be dumbfounded upon their arrival.
A thousand-foot golden giant dragon lay on the ground, beyond comparison with any small hill, stretching like a mountain range.
The Dragon Might it emitted caused everyone to tremble in fear, struggling to breathe.
Especially the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian who burst into laughter, his pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints, and his heart pounded wildly.
This...
Being of the Dragon Clan himself, just standing near the dragon corpse made his blood tremble and his scalp numb, and he could hardly imagine what level of cultivation the opponent must have had while alive.
Probably a sneeze from the creature could have killed him.
Yet such a terrifying member of the Dragon Clan was dead?
Everyone felt that the aura emitted by this creature seemed even more terrifying than the Abyssal Emperor who had caused destruction earlier.
The Golden-eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian jerked his head up to look forward, and upon seeing Luo Yu withdrawing the Nine-Colored Dragon King Armor, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"My lord..."
"Did... did you kill this one?"
Luo Yu seemed a bit unnatural, as his hands appeared to have no proper place to rest.
Mostly because one second he had been kissing Gu Yuena, and the next, all these beauties had chased after him, making it seem like a scene of catching a cheater.
If he couldn't handle the situation well, a disastrous conflict could hurt his heart.
"Yeah, I've just killed the Dragon King; its blood is still warm."
"Why don't you take a taste?"
Luo Yu was so flustered that he blurted out a response.
He hadn't expected Di Tian's eyes to light up at the suggestion.
"Can I?"
"May I have a taste?"
Luo Yu was speechless.
"You're both of the same clan, and you want to drink his blood?"
Di Tian shook his head vigorously.
"It's quite normal for humans to fight and kill each other, and it's the same for us in the Dragon Clan."
"Besides, since you slayed him, he was your enemy, and naturally, your enemy is my enemy."
"One can't be kind to enemies; you have to eat their flesh and drink their blood."
Luo Yu rolled his eyes and sneered:
"Get lost."
"Don't think I don't know you're coveting the energy inside this Dragon King's body."
"However, heed my advice, no, heed the Alliance Hierarch's advice; you can't handle the energy in this body, it's up to the Alliance Hierarch to deal with it."
"Alright." Di Tian, initially full of excitement, just shy of licking his lips, suddenly deflated.
Luo Yu smiled and said, "You can't handle the God's body, but you can have a dragon claw; the one that fell off over there is yours."
Di Tian was overjoyed.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Luo Yu nodded and slowly said, "You can only take what the Alliance Hierarch gives you; what is not given, you must not take."
"Go ahead."
Di Tian trembled, fearful and respectful.
"I won't entertain any more cunning thoughts or seek undue advantage again."
"Thank you for your magnanimity, my lord."
"Hmm."
With a soft grunt from Luo Yu, Di Tian quickly took his leave, rushing towards the dragon claw as if pardoned from a death sentence.
It was clear to everyone that Di Tian was so excited that he was shaking all over.
This also further impressed upon them just how terrifying the giant dragon must have been in life.
They all looked at Luo Yu with wonder.
However, the women, upon noticing Gu Yuena next to them with her flushed cheeks and disheveled hair, her wrinkled clothes looking as though they had been rummaged through, deduced that these were not traces of battle.
Their glances suddenly became strange...
