After seeing Yue Hongyan's spear, the Extreme Tooth Dragon King's heart instantly sank.

He could vaguely sense that his own draconic flames could very likely be decimated by Yue Hongyan's spear.

The Extreme Tooth Dragon King let out an enraged roar, unleashing all his pride and ferocity. The Divine Original True Spirit Pattern on his forehead flickered, and the draconic flames he created suddenly began shrinking and condensing gradually, no longer shielding him but instead charging towards Yue Hongyan.

At the same time, the Extreme Tooth Dragon King opened his mouth, his upper jaw exposing his two highly conspicuous dragon fangs. These fangs were created completely from condensed flames, glowing brighter and brighter.

The shimmering pair of dragon fangs each shot out a pillar of light, landing on the entire condensing ball of red radiance. Then, two thick pillars of fire protruded out from the red ball of light, aiming straight for Yue Hongyan.

Such an unprecedented amount of heat was the Extreme Tooth Dragon King's strongest attack. He completely ignored his own safety to confront Yue Hongyan directly. At most, both sides would suffer devastating injuries and even perish together.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the lands below the void space where both sides were duelling ferociously suddenly quaked violently. The ground shattered abruptly, and the dislodged fragments of mud and rock consolidated to form a horde of Mud Dragons which propelled into the air, blocking the Unstoppable Thunderstorm Spear that Yue Hongyan was hurling towards him!

The horde of Mud Dragons were shattered by Yue Hongyan's spear, but these menacing creatures morphed from the mud and rock encircled and obstructed the spear. These incredibly life-like Mud Dragons bat their eyelids and glared at Yue Hongyan coldly, and the formidable pulsations from their demonic souls shook the surroundings.

Although the Extreme Tooth Dragon King himself was not actually attacking Yue Hongyan himself, such a tremendous and intimidating force was definitely something that only a Dragon King with the Syncretic Star Soul could yield.

These Mud Dragons blocked Yue Hongyan's spear as the Extreme Tooth Dragon King's attack transformed into two infernal beams of fiery light shooting straight for Yue Hongyan, bypassing all the Mud Dragons.

The pupils of Yue Hongyan's eyes contracted abruptly as the fiery glow of her pupils continued blazing, raising her Qi energy beyond the original limit. The Nascent Soul inside her body vibrated violently, and even began to experience high levels of erosion.

In a moment of desperation, Yue Hongyan changed the stance of her spear forcefully. Her Unstoppable Thunderstorm Spear transformed into the Flashing Electro-Star Holy Spear, as though two flashes of lightning illuminated the void space for a moment, each striking down on the two beams of fiery light unleashed by the Extreme Tooth Dragon King.

The fiery light's advance was slightly delayed but not terminated. It did not explode and continued charging towards Yue Hongyan!

Changing her battle strategy so hastily instead caused Yue Hongyan to be blown backwards as the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax in her hand was swung away by the immense force. But as she lost her footing, she lowered her body and twisted her waist, allowing her body to travel in the direction which the Royal Extermination Pole-Ax was blwon towards. She made a large spiral across the void space as her pole-ax carved out a giant arc resembling a rolling crescent moon in the night sky before crashing down towards the horizon.

It was the Falling Moon, one of Yue Hongyan's Tri Avīci Slaughtering Spear Techniques!

While this little technique was not activated by the Avīci Infernal Gale, it was still incredibly mystifying and enchanting, akin to azure moonlight slicing through the skies with the Grand Moon Primordial Water's energy.

The crescent moon travelled in an arc and struck the two beams of fiery light shot out by the Extreme Tooth Dragon King. The dual beams were finally intercepted this time round and exploded abruptly, but the Extreme Tooth Dragon King's assault did not end there. As the fiery light exploded, the dispersed draconic flames still swept through the heavens and lands, surrounding Yue Hongyan.

Yue Hongyan's cheeks exposed an abnormal flush of red. She took a deep breath and her flush of blood in her cheeks quickly faded, becoming as white as paper. The Royal Extermination Pole-Ax in her hand unleashed the Heaven-Crossing Squall Spear, summoning tens of thousands of shadow spears which spread to all directions, spiralling up the Nine Heavens Formless Squall, tearing at the raging flames before her.

This scene made the Extreme Tooth Dragon King's eyelids shudder.

Previously, when both sides collided with their strongest techniques, it could have very possibly resulted in both sides suffering devastating losses and even perishing together. But suddenly, with the addition of the Mud Dragons, they helped the Extreme Tooth Dragon King block Yue Hongyan's attack while he continued hurling his own strongest attack at Yue Hongyan!

The Extreme Tooth Dragon King was safe, while Yue Hongyan sank into a situation deemed by most as one of certain death. Under such circumstances, even when she was met with sudden and unexpected changes, she remained calm and demonstrated her formidable strength and exceptional talent in battle, and managed to destroy her opponent's attack with sheer force.

Furthermore, in such a situation, Yue Hongyan did not bother defending, instead fighting fire with fire, creating an escape route for herself!

This was the first time in the Extreme Tooth Dragon King's long life that he has encountered someone with such a ferocious and tenacious battling style.

And looking at the Mud Dragons before him, while the Extreme Tooth Dragon King heaved a sigh of relief, he also felt incredibly guilty and ashamed. He naturally recognized that these Mud Dragons were created by the demonic energy of the Hou Ning Dragon King!

He was merely facing a human opponent in the Advanced Nascent Soul Stage, yet she managed to force him into such a desperate corner, even requiring the direct aid of the Hou Ning Dragon King, instantly causing him to feel extremely ashamed.

"You must remember this lesson well! Liuyan has fallen, hence I'll help you this once. You must learn to deal with these situations yourself in the future, or else your Fire Dragon Tribe would face a tumultuous road ahead."

A deep and majestic voice reverberated in the Extreme Tooth Dragon King's ears, sending shivers all over his body. "Uncle Liuyan …"

The void space split open and a gigantic Yellow Dragon emerged from the hole, his body over ten thousand feet long. He did not spare the Extreme Tooth Dragon King a glance, ferociously spitting a cloud of dirt-yellow Qi at Yue Hongyan. The Qi was incomparably overpowering, overflowing with boundless demonic energy.

Yue Hongyan creased her eyebrows. This was an opponent whom she might not be able to cause any damage to with her current mastery level, but her eyes did not exude a single hint of fear. Instead, she pointed her spear forward to take the incoming attack.

However, the Hou Ning Dragon King's cloud of Qi was endless like the ocean, sturdy like the great lands. It consisted of layers upon layers, seemingly boundless. Yue Hongyan could not break through the cloud with her attack.

The Hou Ning Dragon king eyed Yue Hongyan coldly but did not stay for long. His massive body shuddered and traversed the void space, flying towards an endless black void - heading directly for the place where the Earth Dragon King and the Azure Sky Dragon King was battling Zhu Yi and Shi Yu.

"I'll leave this woman to you to deal with. I have to rush over to where the Earth Dragon King and the rest are." With that, the Hou Ning Dragon King vanished out of sight.

The Extreme Tooth Dragon King was astonished. From what he knew, the Hou Ning Dragon King was previously battling against Shi Zongmao, Prince Gunyang of the Great Qin Empire. Even though he loathed the Great Qin's cultivators to the core, he knew that Shi Zongmao was a powerhouse who mastered the Way of the Virtual Entity, and possessed the Anti-Dragon Mace, a magic treasure in the Mahayana realm. No one would be able to ascertain the outcome of their duel without them actually completing their showdown. And even if the Hou Ning Dragon King did manage to clinch the victory, he would not emerge from the battle unscathed. However, after meeting the Hou Ning Dragon King just now, he did notice even the smallest of scars.

The Extreme Tooth Dragon King was perplexed but he did not slow his attacks down. He immediately summoned a raging sea of fire, surrounding Yue Hongyan who had been trapped by the Hou Ning Dragon King's demonic energy.

The raging draconic flames ignited the cloud of demonic energy. Both forces did not repel each other, instead blending harmoniously. The Hou Ning Dragon King's demonic energy was dense and pure, magnificent and boundless, as if supplying unlimited fuel for the Extreme Tooth Dragon King's draconic flames, propelling the might of the flames far beyond the latter's actual capabilities.

Yue Hongyan faced the violent draconic flames, and felt as if she had descended into a burning hell for an instant. The Seven Merciless Stars Armor draped over her body glowed continuously, lighting up with a flashing purple radiance, evidently buckling under the draconic flames' assault.

The Extreme Tooth Dragon King has gained the upper hand, but his face did not exude any signs of elation or satisfaction. "The one who defeated you today is the Hou Ning Dragon King. I may have won you, but it was not my doing. However, I won't spare you any mercy."

At this point in time, the Extreme Tooth Dragon King finally had the chance to contact the other powerhouses from the dragon tribe who were originally tailing the Hou Ning Dragon King. He was informed that a peculiar yet formidable Yayu emerged and attacked Shi Zongmao along with his Anti-Dragon Mace.

The Yayu (Translator's Note: The original text provides two methods of writing 'Yayu' using different Chinese characters) loves eating humans. It resembles a feline beast with the claws of a tiger. Its teleportation speed ranks at the top of all the beast-like demon tribes.

In recent years, the strongest member of the Yayu Tribe is the Yayu Grand Sage, who has attained the Syncretic Star Soul, but he has never showed himself, keeping his movements extremely secretive. Even the various demon tribes of the Barren Expanses are unaware of his exact movements. The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage and Golden Roc Grand Sage have both thought of tracking him down, but they have been unable to locate any specific hints of his location even until now, right at the eve of the impending War of the Two Worlds.

The Yayu who attacked Shi Zongmao would be the Yayu Grand Sage who has achieved the Syncretic Star Soul.

This sight was astonishing yet pleasantly surprising for all the dragon tribes, including the Hou Ning Dragon King himself. However, in response to such a sudden show of aid, the Hou Ning Dragon King smiled in delight despite still reserving a tinge of doubt at the back of his mind.

Dealing with such an exceptional opponent from the Great Qin Empire, the Hou Ning Dragon King only bore the intention of eradicating him as soon as possible, hence he did not mind teaming up with others in a combined attack. Two great demons with the Syncretic Star Soul instantly defeated Shi Zongmao and his Anti-Dragon Mace.

After inflicting severe damage on Shi Zongmao, the Hou Ning Dragon King received news from the Azure Skies Dragon King that the Liuyan Dragon King had fallen after Zhu Yi entered the battle, and he immediately returned to the Immortal Dragon City to lend his aid.

Upon reaching the battlefield here, the Extreme Tooth Dragon King finally realized why the Hou Ning Dragon King retreated so swiftly. But as his old doubts clarified, new ones quickly surfaced.

Why would the Yayu Grand Sage suddenly attack a cultivator from the Great Qin Empire?

Their dragon tribes had no alliances with the Yayu Tribe, and he has never heard of the existence of any feud between the Yayu Tribe and the Great Qin Empire. Their entrance was simply baffling.

Suppressing the rising doubts in his heart temporarily, the Extreme Tooth Dragon King refocused his attention on Yue Hongyan standing before him.

"I don't care about my honor or my shame. I won't spare a single cultivator from the Celestial Sect of Wonders."

He fixed his eyes coldly on Yue Hongyan. "Your Master cultivated the Red Dragon King into his avatar, and today, I'll make you into my avatar!"

The Extreme Tooth Dragon King wanted to incinerate Yue Hongyan with his draconic flames, while the Hou Ning Dragon King who just departed was determined to rush back to the void space where the Immortal Dragon City was. He detested this immense shame.

But at this instant, a ray of light flashed across the dark void space, frightening the Hou Ning Dragon King.

It was a shining star, a star even larger and brighter than all the real stars in the galaxy. It was a star formed entirely from Sword Qi - a Sword Star brimming with unmatchable might!

It dragged a long plume in its wake, as if it was slicing the dark void space open, and it was headed straight for Zhu Yi and the Earth Dragon King!
