"Your Majesty the Dragon King!" The Clan Leader of the Magic Race knelt on one knee, acknowledging Zhuo Geng’s actions, and thus all the clan leaders genuinely accepted Long Taichu’s ascension at this moment.
"Your Majesty!" The Daoist Realm tribe also knelt and shouted in unison.
"Today is both a crisis and an opportunity. The rebellion of the two races has emerged along with the invasion of the Blood Slaughter Army, saving us the trouble of seeking them out one by one. In this battle today, we must not only crush the Blood Slaughter but also eradicate these two cancerous tumours to prevent dire calamities in our Dragon Realm!" commanded Long Taichu with resolute authority.
"As you command!"
If one were to choose the easiest Holy Land to conquer from the major planes, the Dragon Realm would undoubtedly be ranked first. Due to the nature of its race, unlike the Holy City of the Demon Race, the Luocheng Immortal Palace of the Daoist Realm, or the three councils of the Magic Realm, the Dragon Realm covers a vast area but lacks defensive structures except in its core; the peripheries rely on natural barriers formed by nature, differing from the human defensive warfare model unfamiliar to the beastly fighting style of beast tribes.
At this moment, the outskirts of the Dragon Realm were already roaring with battle cries. The Blood Slaughter Army, led by the pervasive Dark Race, successfully annihilated the outer defense guard of the Dragon Realm and advanced like a tide into its depths.
Meanwhile, after the initial panic, the Dragon Realm mounted a counterattack, bringing together elite guards from all corners of the realm into the battle. Instantly, Eastern Divine Dragons, Golden Eagles, Vermilion Birds, Kelp Dragons, Spirit Foxes, Mountain Tigers, Spirit Cranes, Dragons from the Magic Race, various types of Phoenixes, Griffins, Giant Wolves, and Golden Bulls, all kinds of strange and powerful mythical creatures, gathered. These mighty beings displayed average combat abilities far exceeding those of the sentinels of the Demon Race’s Holy City, immediately halting the advance of the Blood Slaughter Army.
"Order the ranged troops to knock over those big bugs in the rear for me! Tell Celt to lead three squadrons of the Divine Dragon Guard and see if they can capture a few live bugs, so we can study how to harness such low-level creatures for our Dragon Realm," Long Taichu ordered from atop the Dragon Palace, overlooking the entire battlefield, pointing at the enslavers constantly being spewed at the back of the battlefield.
"Understood!"
In response to the message conveyed from the Dragon Palace, Golden Eagles and Fire Phoenixes swooped over the battlefield toward the Blood Slaughter’s rear positions. The aerial troops, which the Blood Slaughter Legion took pride in, stood no chance against these mythical beasts. Ultimately, it was the Dark Race’s beasts, former kin exiled like them, that resisted the assault.
On the battlefield, the numerous enslavers, along with their armed and intellectual hosts, were quickly vanquished by the individually powerful Beast Race army, their troublesome attack methods countered by the primitive ferocity of the Giant Wolves and Fierce Tigers. Eventually, the daunting task of breaking through fell to the Red Armored Warriors, who bravely became the backbone, carving a path towards the Dragon Realm’s depths under the relentless beast onslaught.
Time brings advantages and disadvantages. The individual strength of the Divine Beast Race is an advantage, but the difficulty in bearing high-level divine offspring, their slow maturity, and the Draconic coordination issues among tribes caused by excessive numbers are disadvantages present in the Spirit Monster Plane, thus giving the Blood Slaughter an opportunity.
With a palm strike shattering the skull of a Giant Wolf that foolishly charged him, the blood splatter was blocked by the Source Energy Wall in front of him, leaving no stain on his pristine white robe. Currently, the outskirts of the Dragon Realm had turned into a Chaotic Scene, bodies of countless soldiers from the two races scattered across the battlefield, the stench of blood filled the air as Bai Ze pulled out a handkerchief to cover his nose, harshly commanding, "Ignore these low-level creatures. Let the Grand Commanders and Dark Race clansmen lead the elite and raid with me. We must breach the Dragon Palace; once inside the palace’s heartland, our goal is achieved."
Despite doubting Bai Ze’s seemingly suicidal madness, the path forward or backward was equally deadening; the Dark Race clan leaders, resigned, decided to gamble everything, following the Blood Slaughter Army main force in a charge toward the Dragon Palace.
"Spatial Transformation!" At the forefront, Ivan stumbled onto a Black Dragon’s back as he shouted. Instantly, the atmosphere surrounding this task force shifted, the advantageous Dragon Realm Territory turning blood-red as their familiar Spirit Monster Plane’s Source Energy rapidly faded, heavily suppressing even their strength.
This was the Divine Artifact fusion Ivan had displayed to Pei Yan during the Sword Discussion Conference, swapping his surrounding space with the Blood Killing Space. But this time, the area affected was larger, consuming more Source Energy and necessitating Black Dragon transport since he couldn’t fly himself.
The single-source energy Dragon Realm beast army traversed the same disastrous path as the Demon Race army under the abominable attribute suppression of the Blood Slaughter Plane. Against the assault led by five Children of Origin and many Grand Commanders with elites, a large breach quickly formed, smashing the defense line before the Dragon Palace!
"It seems those traitors are entirely reliant on the Blood Slaughter Race now." Long Taichu observed his own kind oppressed within the same space, and then the Dark Race rebels attacking alongside the Blood Slaughter, unaffected by the spatial transformation, implying either physical modification or possessing some special technique to evade such harm.
"Clan leaders, come with me to face the enemy. Jin He Xuan, see if you can capture a few rebels alive and extract the secret of not being affected by the Blood Killing Space!"
"As you command!" Watching Long Taichu and the clan leaders flying over the city wall, Clan Leader Jin He Xuan of the Golden-winged Roc Race surveyed the enemy ranks and quickly identified a desired target, leaping forward to capture.
"Child of Origin from the Blood Slaughter, come out and face your death!" The Blood Killing Space significantly affects low and mid-level combat power, but for high-ranking or even top-level experts, while impacted to some extent, they remain far from easily overwhelmed. Hence, the clan leaders swiftly leaped into this space, briefly halting before adjusting to the surroundings and loudly challenging the instigators of this assault.
"Hehehe, Bai Ze! Do you see that person? He seems to be the new Dragon King; his strength should rival Zhuo Geng! Who among us can immediately suppress him, leading our army to continue the attack?" Nero looked at Long Taichu, surrounded and exalted as he exited the Dragon Palace defenses, then scanned his troops before grudgingly smiling at Bai Ze.
