The Path of Slaughter - The Tragedy of the Dragon Race (Part 7)

"Boom, boom!" Amidst the thunderous roars, lightning strikes echoed, audible within a thousand miles. Everyone and the nine giant dragons, protected by two layers of barriers, wore expressions of terror. The sheer power of a single bolt of lightning was immense, leading everyone to wonder about the fate of anyone who might confront these countless black lightning bolts directly. The confrontation was imminent.

"Cloud Dragon Breakthrough!" As the thunderous onslaught continued, a twenty-seven or twenty-eight zhang long water dragon, surrounded by a bright blue aura, roared. Its energy rapidly converged into its mouth, unleashing a forty to fifty zhang long water dragon that fiercely collided with the black lightning.

"Boom!" In a fraction of a second, the collision caused a massive explosion in the sky, reverberating across the heavens and earth, the sound traveling thousands of miles.

In the Hengduan Mountains, the explosion shattered the skies, causing disturbances in the clouds above. All the mighty beings sensed the unusual occurrences here.

Giant spatial rifts, spanning dozens of zhang, wildly crisscrossed within the formation. The forty to fifty zhang long water dragon tangled fiercely with the black lightning in the void.

"Let's see what else you've got," Ye Han chanted, forming another hand seal. "Thirty-six Paths. Fire." As he spoke, a fierce white flame suddenly ignited on the ground within the formation, rapidly increasing the temperature. The flames rose, slowly approaching the barrier in the void.

Meanwhile, the water dragon and the black lightning continued their fierce battle above. After enduring countless strikes from the black lightning, the water dragon finally fulfilled its mission, dissipating into the void.

Above, the formidable lightning struck relentlessly, while below, the white purifying flames burned fiercely. The yellow barrier released by the dragon race shimmered with ripples under the assault, its brightness gradually dimming. The people inside were in a state of shock, unable to comprehend how a mere ninth-tier individual could wield such heaven-defying power.

In truth, they were mistaken. This was not solely Ye Han's doing, but the work of three god-tier powerhouses from the Doomsday Prison. With their immense, smoke-like energy, Ye Han could unleash the full power of this formation. Without them, it would be difficult to even trap, let alone kill his opponents.

"Crack," a faint sound emitted from the yellow barrier, almost imperceptible, but none of the top powerhouses present failed to hear it. Their faces changed once again.

"What should we do, Kapulos? At this rate, the barrier's collapse is just a matter of time," Katie, losing her previous composure, asked in a slightly panicked tone.

"I don't know. We have no idea what kind of magic formation this is. But in my memory, no magic formation has ever possessed such power and lethality," Kapulos replied, his face grim, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

"Crack," another sound echoed, and small cracks began to appear in the yellow barrier.

"Roar, you insignificant humans. My dragon race will not spare you," the largest earth dragon roared furiously as it writhed. As noble beings, dragons had always slaughtered those who dared to offend their majesty, whether they were magical beasts or humans. But now, they faced the indignity of being trapped and slaughtered by a human, not even of the Saint tier, fueling their rage.

"Insigificant and weak? Ha, how laughable," Ye Han stood atop the formation, laughing unrestrainedly. "I may be weak, but I can kill dozens of Saint-tier individuals and slaughter millions. Noble dragon race, can you?" he asked disdainfully.

"I am insignificant, but I control your lives. Noble dragon race, can you?"

"Arrogant Saint-tier powerhouses, can you do this?" Ye Han asked, laughing wildly.

"Just face me in a direct fight, and I can extinguish you, you insignificant human, with just one hand," the nine giant dragons roared in response, their voices almost overpowering the thunder.

"I wonder if your big heads are filled with dung. Expecting me to confront you head-on, why don't you go challenge the higher gods instead?" Ye Han mocked.

"Not let me go? Ha, do you think I'm afraid? Let me tell you, big lizards, one day, I will ascend to the Dragon Valley and exterminate your ugly, arrogant kind," Ye Han said, sending chills down everyone's spines.

"Crack." Right after Ye Han spoke, the yellow barrier instantly shattered, dissipating between heaven and earth. The black lightning and white purifying fire relentlessly assaulted the rainbow barrier.

"Die!" Ye Han formed another hand seal, his hands moving rapidly. Shadows of his hands lingered in the air. "Thirty-Six Paths, Unite, Heaven and Earth Reversal."

The earth erupted violently, its essence solidifying into substantial heavy earth essence, like a boundless continent, smashing towards the rainbow barrier. Massive stone pillars rose from the scorched land, soaring hundreds of zhang into the air, like swords piercing the sky, their murderous intent soaring to the heavens.

In the grey chaos in the sky, resembling clouds and mist, thousands of zhang long purple lightning bolts, like thousands of purple dragons, danced across the sky, each as thick as a person, striking down with immense momentum.

Tidal waves surged, like roaring torrents, sweeping over everything from all directions. The attacks, capable of destroying heaven and earth, arrived in an instant.

The rainbow barrier, like thin paper, shattered instantly. Everything annihilated in the wake of the attacks. Ye Han looked at the struggling Saint-tier humans and dragons, laughing wildly.

His laughter slowly ceased, and Ye Han appeared extremely exhausted. Controlling the formation's attack had greatly drained his soul power. His figure flickered, leaving an afterimage on Baires's back, as he appeared in front of a Sword Sect Saint-tier powerhouse.

The desperately resisting crowd failed to notice Ye Han's movement. He quickly extended his hand, enveloped in grey light, forming a claw. Before the Saint-tier powerhouse could react, Ye Han struck him, his brutal energy instantly ravaging the powerhouse's organs. Ye Han's figure moved again, appearing behind him.

Ye Han opened his mouth, revealing his sharp white fangs and biting down on the man's neck without hesitation.

"Ha ha!" In less than a moment, with blood still at the corner of his mouth, Ye Han laughed crazily, his white hair fluttering in the wind.

"Boom!" His arm shook, and the body of the Saint-tier powerhouse, who had lost too much blood but was not yet dead, suddenly exploded, his head, struck by a purple lightning bolt, reduced to nothing.

After consuming the essence of a Saint-tier powerhouse, Ye Han felt the weakness in his soul significantly lessen. However, he did not intend to stop there. With the purple lightning, towering waves, and hundred-zhang stone swords, few were left alive. Three from the dragon race, two from the Sword Sect, and only Katie from the Law Sect.

Ye Han instantly appeared behind Katie, attacking her from behind without any extra movements. He grabbed the seriously injured Katie, bit her, but instead of killing her, he transported her to the Doomsday Prison after feeding.

With Ye Han's participation, the numbers dwindled until he transported the last giant dragon, the largest earth dragon. The battle finally ended. A day and night of madness, a million people slain, over seventy Saint-tier powerhouses dead or captured, and nine of the thirteen giant dragons killed or captured.

The area returned to calm, as if nothing had happened, except for the shocking sight of corpses strewn over a thousand zhang, and the overwhelming stench of blood and rot that could be smelled from a hundred li away. Ye Han's notoriety instilled trembling fear and dread into people's souls.
