Chapter 399: Black Flood Dragon King's Betrayer

"Experience the purgatory of the Dragon Clan!""Dragon Tomb!"In an instant, the two dragon souls surrounding Xu Yang, possessing formidable binding abilities, suddenly mutated once more, unleashing unparalleled spiritual pressure. The entire void seemed to transform into a chilling deep-sea hell at that moment.

This soul-derived beast-essence barrier, unleashed from the main body, generated a bone-chilling cold that permeated everything, completely sealing Xu Yang's power at a bloodline level. In fact, once a target was ensnared by such a domain-based sealing method, self-extrication was impossible. The twin dragon souls enveloped Xu Yang and delivered him before the Black Dragon King.

The Black Dragon King laughed presumptuously, watching Xu Yang with a disdainful gaze. "Aren't you supposed to be powerful? Why are you now reduced to my vanquished foe?"Xu Yang looked back at him with disdain. "If this is the extent of your power, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed again."

"Hmph, I'd like to see how you contend with my binding barrier."In an instant, the twin dragons transformed into a true cage in the void. The seal around Xu Yang completely assimilated with the dragon souls, becoming a unified power system. This meant that unless the Black Dragon King actively withdrew the energy, Xu Yang would remain sealed. Of course, having finally succeeded, the Black Dragon King would never release Xu Yang so easily. As time went on, more and more beast-essence energy poured into Xu Yang's bloodline, completely suppressing his Asura power. After all, the two parties were not on the same level in terms of elemental energy rank; Xu Yang was in a weakened state after several successive reductions, while the Black Dragon King before him was at his unyielding peak.

The Empress could no longer bear to watch and was about to intervene, but she was stopped by Wushuang, who was beside her. Wushuang gently shook her head and gave the Empress a meaningful glance. It was clear that Xu Yang did not seem to be truly in despair.

"Do you truly believe that this paltry beast-essence power can completely refine the Asura origin within me? You're overthinking it." Xu Yang remained unhurried and calm, as if he himself were not the one currently sealed.The Black Dragon King, however, smirked and coldly replied, "Then let's see if I can do it."

The next moment, the Black Dragon King astonishingly released his own Dragon Core! This core was completely different from any other sea beast's core; it was a powerful, luminous sphere, almost like a small sun."My heavens! I can't believe his core is so immense!"After all, it was a colossal core that had taken millions of years to form. If any other beast could inherit its energy, it would instantly become the most powerful magical beast on the entire continent! The two goddesses couldn't help but marvel; such a core was indeed incredibly tempting!

"I seem to have an interesting idea." The Empress suddenly revealed a mischievous smile, and in the next instant, she vanished from her original position.Shortly after, the deep-sea monarchs who had been observing the battle from below the sea surface simultaneously emitted an eerie deep purple light from their pupils! This was precisely the Empress's handiwork, a grand gift for the Black Dragon King.

When the Empress returned to Wushuang's side, Wushuang immediately understood her intention. Indeed, just as the immense and powerful core was wantonly releasing its beast-essence power to refine Xu Yang's Asura origin, over two dozen deep-sea monarchs on the sea surface simultaneously made their move. Their focus was not on Xu Yang, but rather on the Black Dragon King, who held the colossal Beast Emperor Core above his head.

"Hahaha, what a grand core feast! If I can just acquire a small portion, I can become the most powerful sea beast!" Every deep-sea monarch shared this thought, which thoroughly enraged the Black Dragon King."You scoundrels, you are truly courting death!" The Black Dragon King roared in fury. His main body instantly conjured three illusory figures, and by relying solely on these three illusions, he simultaneously thwarted the surprise attacks of all two dozen deep-sea monarchs.

However, it was precisely at this moment that Xu Yang saw what he had been waiting for. In fact, he had remained bound for so long specifically to seize this rare opportunity: the precise moment of vulnerability when the Black Dragon King actively exposed his core and failed to fully concentrate on him.

The next moment, the colossal Sky Eye Mind Realm materialized once more above his head. The Sky Eye's power almost immediately ignited the two protective divine artifacts—one red, one black—from the two goddesses near Xu Yang's body. It also made Ji Ye, at the very edge of the peak, open his eyes."You brat, you're truly underhanded, but since this is my promise, I will certainly contribute my strength to help you!"

In an instant, the three ultimate powers, each representing a facet of the Three Elements Law, converged under the guidance of Xu Yang's Sky Eye power, forming an incredibly powerful Three-Elemental Sharp Sword in mid-air. The edge of this sword seemed even more potent than the aura emitted by Xu Yang's Asura Sword alone, locking onto the Black Dragon King's colossal core with unwavering precision.

"Now! Everyone attack!"The deep-sea monarchs, who had completely lost their senses, let out hysterical roars. Simultaneously, aligning with Xu Yang's Three-Elemental Sharp Sword, they unleashed an earth-shattering destructive blow aimed directly at the Black Dragon King's core.

"Ji Ye, you unfilial son! How dare you attack your own father!"The Black Dragon King let out a furious bellow. Unfortunately, no matter how enraged he was at that moment, the power he faced would not diminish because of his state.Rumble!!

The Black Dragon King, unflustered in the face of danger, directed his most powerful temporary defensive ability squarely at the Three-Elemental Sharp Sword. He then relied solely on the core's inherent defensive power to withstand the fatal blow from over two dozen deep-sea monarchs. Although this strike did not cause the core to shatter, the distinct cracks on its surface meant that the Black Dragon King had sustained permanent internal injuries in this exchange, wounds that could not be healed in a short time.

For a beast race, the inner core is the vital source of life. Once damaged, it requires years to fully repair. Currently, the Black Dragon King was facing a top-tier expert of Xu Yang's caliber, leaving him no time for recovery. Perhaps this crack had already become a crucial foreshadowing of the Black Dragon King's eventual demise. However, at this moment, the Black Dragon King had no time to ponder such matters. His sole immediate focus was to use retaliatory measures to eliminate those who had betrayed him.

"What I despise most is betrayal! You damned scoundrels, sacrifice your lives!"The next moment, the Black Dragon King locked his powerful devouring instinct onto the two dozen deep-sea monarchs hovering above the sea surface below. It was important to remember that these monarchs had seized their perfect opportunity to attack only because Xu Yang's Three-Elemental Sword had captured the Black Dragon King's full attention. Now that the Black Dragon King had freed his hands, they had no possibility of escape.
