Chapter 1102: Conquering the Thunderstorm Dragon

A terrifying pillar of lightning erupted from the dragon's maw, instantly shattering the protective light around Plancis and Jessica. The powerful blast struck their bodies, sending the couple flying hundreds of meters away. They landed, spitting blood, lying prostrate on the ground, seemingly having lost the ability to fight.

After delivering this powerful counter-attack, the Lightning Demonic Dragon appeared heavily wounded, though it still possessed significant core combat capabilities. It could clearly, at any moment, completely overwhelm Plancis and Jessica.

"I must admit, you two are the only beings to have wounded me in thousands of years," the dragon declared. "Even powerful demonic dragons from my own kin couldn't inflict such damage. However, it's unfortunate that the outcome was never in doubt; the sheer power gap between us is simply too vast."

Plancis and Jessica lay prostrate, their eyes meeting. In that moment, an unprecedented tranquility settled within their minds, as if the long-anticipated end was finally unfolding. There was less expectation now, and more peace.

This profound calm seemed to bestow upon the couple a unique spiritual guidance. What transpired within their intertwined souls at that moment, naturally, went unnoticed by the Lightning Demonic Dragon still on the battlefield.

"It's time to end everything for you!" With those words, the Lightning Demonic Dragon unleashed an immensely powerful burst of electrical energy. Golden lightning enveloped its entire body before it transformed into a golden bolt, striking from the sky directly onto the spot where Plancis and Jessica lay.

*Boom!* A cataclysmic force descended, striking precisely the location the Lightning Demonic Dragon had targeted. When it finally reverted to its human form and surveyed the battlefield, now reduced to a desolate wasteland, it couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh.

It could no longer detect even the slightest trace of the couple's aura. From its perspective, they had been utterly annihilated by its lightning, with no possibility of survival.

The sheer might of this power could only be truly comprehended by those who had experienced it firsthand. The lightning attribute was inherently the most volatile aspect of draconic power, and the birth of a Lightning Demonic Dragon was exceptionally rare. Such a lineage could only be nurtured when an Imperial Demonic Dragon's bloodline reached its absolute peak, under specific, unique conditions.

Consequently, this particular Lightning Demonic Dragon possessed an innate combat prowess far superior to other demonic dragons, making Plancis and Jessica's inability to defeat it entirely understandable.

Just as the creature assumed everything was over and prepared to depart from this exclusive demonic dragon battleground, the presence of Plancis and Jessica reappeared. However, this time, it was distinctly different from before.

Their auras had perfectly merged through some extraordinary means. The Lightning Demonic Dragon instinctively frowned, then ascended, once again unfurling its lightning wings to hover perpetually in the void.

"What new trick are you two playing now?" it demanded. "If you have the courage, reveal yourselves at once and stop wasting my time!"

However, just as the Lightning Demonic Dragon was about to unleash its power, everything within the surrounding demonic dragon battleground began to transform rapidly.

Beneath its feet, an endless ocean stretched out. In the center of this vast sea, an isolated island blossomed with resplendent flowers. Countless ancient, rare blooms adorned the island's heart, and amidst this vibrant floral display, the spiritual outline of Jessica gradually emerged.

At the far reaches of the boundless ocean surrounding the island, an immense totem of the Deep-Sea Fish Emperor suddenly materialized. It soared skyward, firmly locking onto the Lightning Demonic Dragon's true form.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the Deep-Sea Fish Emperor, the Lightning Demonic Dragon seemed momentarily disoriented. Just as it prepared to gather its strength for a counter-attack, it realized its body had, at some point, become completely immobilized in the void.

Unbeknownst to it, the very scent of the flowers from the island below had caused this state of confinement. All the formidable abilities inherent to the demonic dragon race had been rendered ineffective within this exclusive dream space. Even its most prized lightning power proved impossible to unleash from within its body.

"Do you truly believe, in your naiveté, that my wife and I possess no truly formidable, top-tier abilities?" Jessica's voice echoed. "If it were as simple as you imagine, how could my beloved have joined the Glory Team and followed Boss Xu Yang's footsteps, fighting in battles across the land?

"One can only say you are far too naive. Your prolonged stay on this Demonic Dragon Island has clearly narrowed your perspective. The success rate of our mind-bending dream illusion is highest precisely when you are at your most complacent.

"Once you fall into this dream, your only hope would be for your companions to break through the suppression and blockade imposed by our allies and come to your rescue in this exclusive battle space.

"Otherwise, without any external intervention, you will simply become meat on our chopping block. No matter how formidable your strength, it will be utterly useless!

"For in this dream, the power my beloved possesses is limitless, while the role you play is one of infinite suppression.

"To weave such a dream technique, we relied on our subordinate with the purple eyes. Before coming here, the three of us thoroughly discussed for three days and three nights, each revealing our true trump cards, which allowed us to devise this incredibly powerful combined skill as our ultimate ace!

"So, what do you think, arrogant Lightning Demonic Dragon?" she continued. "Didn't you always believe your offensive capabilities were the pinnacle among demonic dragons? What a pity. Now, no matter how much you struggle, there is no possibility of breaking free from the suppression imposed by my husband and me."

Within the dream, the soaring Deep-Sea Fish Emperor and the ethereal Flower Fairy from the romantic floral expanse perfectly merged. All of Plancis and Jessica's powers converged into one at this moment. Simultaneously, the Lightning Demonic Dragon, still completely immobilized in the void, felt its deepest desires ignited to an extreme. Yet, despite its fervent craving for supreme power, it was utterly suppressed by the dream's unique rules designed to quell such desires.

"Come, Lightning Demonic Dragon!" a voice echoed through the dreamscape. "Break free from this sensation of being bound by desire! Unleash your energy! Burn your demonic dragon blood! Only then will you gain a moment of respite. Otherwise, you are destined to explode and perish from constantly devouring the surrounding spiritual energy."
