"My lord, everything is ready!"

Above the West Sea Secret Palace, facing Elder Shen, who had hurried back anxiously, the leading Yaksha immediately ran over to offer congratulations.

Upon hearing the news, Elder Shen looked up, and amidst the circling Blood Guards, there sat a blood essence stone the size of a fist, flickering with a tempting red light.

Around it, several nobles from the Dragon Palace, hewn from ice, were already grotesquely twisted in a continuous process of blood transfusion and bleeding, presenting an especially horrifying sight.

Elder Shen naturally couldn’t be bothered to look at those nobles who had been wasted. If it weren’t for their more useful purpose, he wouldn’t mind using methods a hundred or a thousand times crueler, to let these so-called nobles experience the thrill of being treated as experimental subjects.

Sizzle!

Just as he was drawing near, numerous cracks started spreading above the Crystal Dragon Palace. Elder Shen was well aware that the colossal palace would soon succumb to the ravages of the monster. Once the Dragon Palace shattered, the slaughter from the Heavenly Ghost Octopus would begin.

Elder Shen was quite looking forward to this scene—being butchered by a monster of his own creation, he wondered what those nobles would think at that moment?

Would there be... even a sliver of... regret?

"Huh..." Breathing out a long breath, within the red blood essence stone, a tiny worm-like creature that was as thin as a hair began to wriggle, and the stone quickly shrank, its body turning red with the stimulation of Qi and blood.

The Yaksha watching by the side, with envious eyes.

Although the Yaksha’s own powerful body was already very strong, compared to the Dragon King Breed, once so renowned in the West Sea as generals, the difference was as vast as that between the clouds and mud!

Elder Shen, holding the blood essence stone, approached Ao Zhen and looked at the most noble Dragon Maiden of the West Sea, revealing a ferocious smile that he hadn’t shown in a long time.

Destroying and controlling such a beautiful creature brought an immense rush of pleasure...

"Princess, do you have anything else to say?"

Ao Zhen slowly opened her eyes, her icy pupils sharp as a sword capable of cleaving the sea. In that instant, Elder Shen felt as if he were being sliced open, the sensation so real that he involuntarily touched his own face.

"How impressive..." Elder Shen said, stroking his still intact body and then bursting into frenzied laughter, "But what of it? You lot, from the day you created me, should have thought that this day would come!"

"This day?" A mocking cold smile spread across Ao Zhen’s face: "Because of you? If things were normal, your invasion of the Dragon Palace would have just resulted in your transformation into a dog of my Dragon Palace. Are you not wielding such power at this moment because of that person?"

Elder Shen: "....."

"The battle has not yet been decided..." Ao Zhen sneered at him, "Your worm will not be able to control me for long, when the time comes..."

"Let’s talk about that when the time comes..." Elder Shen coldly interrupted her, directly pressing the blood essence into the ice, which melted rapidly. Meanwhile, the tiny worm-like creature swiftly burrowed into Ao Zhen’s crown chakra.

Bang!

As the essence blood poured in, blood veined the crown chakra and spread throughout Ao Zhen’s brain, causing her incredibly beautiful face to contort horribly.

The layers of ice shattered in a second!

Elder Shen took a slight step back, feeling the comforting essence coming from his minion, his heart stirred for a moment, and he ordered Ao Zhen, "Come here."

Ao Zhen’s face twisted even more, but her body moved involuntarily towards Elder Shen.

"Take off your clothes..."

Her beautiful body was quickly exposed, yet her eyes remained as cold as mountains, bearing no hint of humiliation.

Elder Shen looked on, his smile growing even more distorted, as the desires he had suppressed for who knows how long finally erupted in that instant.

"Come here..." He gazed at the presence that, although cold at this moment, had no choice but to obey him, and his desire to conquer peaked!

"Kneel down!"

Ao Zhen: "...."

Almost in the next instant, Ao Zhen realized what the other party wanted to do, her gaze still icy, but her mouth unwillingly opened under his command.

Elder Shen excitedly watched her, this being that had once ruled his fate, whom he had only glimpsed once as a child, and was so stunned by her beauty and strength that he had always wondered how to reach their level.

Now, the years may have felt long, yet also short, but after all..., he had finally waited for this moment...

"My lord!!"

Just as the most intense pleasure was about to arrive, this sudden voice finally made him understand the meaning of being crestfallen...

Human vocabulary is truly exquisite, but it is only when one truly experiences something that the depth of feeling is truly understood.

"What’s the matter?" Elder Shen turned around and immediately saw the bewitched Yaksha, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Pretty fascinating, isn’t it?

Lower creatures, when faced with beings far more formidable than themselves, particularly of the opposite sex, experience a poisonous fascination, a biological instinct, as after all, who wouldn’t want to procreate with a more excellent being.

"Cough... My Lord!" The Yaksha snapped back to reality and immediately spoke seriously, "There’s activity at the Array; it has begun to dissipate, and clearly, there’s the sound of a dragon chant coming from inside."

"Hmm..." Elder Shen’s expression grew serious upon hearing this, "It seems the time is about right, let’s withdraw!"

The Dragon Maiden was under control, but she still needed time to adapt; his blood-bonded followers would need at least two hours to gain full control over Ao Zhen, and before that, it was best not to use them to confront those lowly Ancient Sorcerers head-on.

As for Chen Qing... he was very much looking forward to the other’s upcoming performance!

"But my Lord, all these around..."

The Yaksha, pained, pointed to the surroundings where Ao Zhen was located.

Everywhere were ice-encased nobles, at the very least of the Thousand-Legged Dragon breed, not to mention some of the rarer and precious Dragon species whose strong and alluring presence made the Yaksha uneasy at the thought of them being desecrated by the swarming Ancient Sorcerers.

"Leave them be for now!" Elder Shen frowned deeply, even the Yaksha’s body had an effect on his followers, to feel such pity for the Dragon Clan.

"We need to wait for the right moment..."

The Yaksha hurriedly nodded, clearly understanding that they could only take control of the situation once Ao Zhen was completely under control.

"Up, get dressed... let’s go!"

Elder Shen commanded without looking back.

From afar, Ao Zhen stood up stiffly and followed, but as he turned, his gaze, much like Elder Shen’s, drifted towards the area shrouded in mysterious fog.

Unknown to both, as enemies of each other, at that moment, the person that came to their minds was one and the same!

--------------------------------

"Chen Qing, I’ve done what you asked me to do!"

Within the fog, in Chen Qing’s hand, there was an eye as beautiful as a night pearl.

"Hmm..." Chen Qing nodded, "You’ve done well."

The Dragon Maiden’s eye twitched slightly, then she said, "Do you think Princess Chang will agree?"

"She will..." Chen Qing nodded affirmatively.

"But she hasn’t given an answer, and now... she has already been controlled by that creature!"

"There will be an opportunity..." Chen Qing nodded again, "First, we need to avoid this current storm."

With that, Chen Qing approached the Dragon Transformation device, where Weichi Feihong had just emerged from the device, having successfully completed the process.

As Chen Qing expected, with his Steel Bone Physique and astonishing willpower, the success rate was nearly one hundred percent!

Only his appearance now...

"Chen Qing, what’s wrong with him?" Murong Yunji couldn’t help asking.

At that moment, Weichi Feihong’s form was twisted into an odd shape, like a lump of muscle, looking rather unsettling.

"The Garuda’s physique is too strong, and the bones must be remodeled while protecting the internal organs intact, the process will be somewhat difficult... but it will be over soon," explained Chen Qing.

Chen Qing took a deep breath and walked over to the trembling Weichi Feihong.

Feeling Chen Qing’s arrival, Weichi Feihong struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with a desire for flesh indicative of someone who had just undergone Dragon Transformation; yet Chen Qing could see the struggle for clarity in his efforts.

Indeed, men with Steel Bone Physique all possess a willpower as unyielding as their namesake; the Weichi Clan had underestimated Weichi Feihong’s potential, for in terms of true aptitude, he actually surpassed Weichi Peng.

Chen Qing’s robe fluttered without wind as the belief power stored up until now, cautiously reserved, could finally be used!

Thou shalt rise as the Wind Gate War God!
