BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 542: The True Strength of East Dragon Island!

In the skies above, violent surges of energy rippled like deep, rumbling thunder, constantly spreading through the heavens and echoing across Dragon Island.

Deep within the island, inside an ancient stone hall, a look of deep concern filled Zi Yan’s face.

At this moment, Zi Yan had sensed the commotion outside and was eager to go out and take a look. However, the four elders of East Dragon Island beside her—all powerful cultivators at high-level Dou Venerate—were staring at her intently.

“Dragon Emperor, your current strength is still too weak. Going out now would be extremely dangerous. Please wait until the Third Elder has repelled the armies from West and South Dragon Islands before you make your move,” one of the elders advised respectfully.

“For the sake of your own safety, please don’t go outside!” the other three elders said in unison.

Seeing their reaction, Zi Yan understood that going out was out of the question. Reluctantly, she stayed inside the stone hall.

Meanwhile, on East Dragon Island, the forces from West and South Dragon Islands were already showing signs of retreat.

However, just then, in the void outside the island, beams of cyan light suddenly lit up. These beams rapidly expanded, and one figure after another emerged riding the cyan glow, each emanating a terrifying aura as the sound of wind splitting echoed across the sky.

“Looks like we’re late—but not too late for the main event!” said a figure in cyan robes, smiling as he looked down upon the chaotic battlefield of Ancient Dragon Island.

“Qing Yan!”

Upon seeing the cyan-robed elder, Zhu Li's brows furrowed slightly. Qing Yan's strength was even greater than Xia Ao's from before, having reached the peak of Six-Star Dou Venerate.

With Qing Yan and the elite troops from North Dragon Island now joining the fray, the advantage East Dragon Island had just gained was instantly wiped away.

As Qing Yan appeared, he first glanced at Zhu Li’s grim expression and smiled. Then, his gaze shifted toward the depths of Dragon Island.

“Elder Man Yan, keep Zhu Li occupied. I’ll personally take the one with royal blood,” Qing Yan said calmly.

As soon as he spoke, his figure blurred into a streak of light and shot toward the depths of the island. Zhu Li’s face twisted with rage when he saw this, but before he could give chase, Man Yan stepped forward again.

His dragon claws tore through space as he struck at Zhu Li with overwhelming force.

“Bastard!”

Blocked once more by Man Yan, Zhu Li roared in fury. Boundless Dou Qi erupted from within him as he launched a fierce counterattack.

Meanwhile, Qing Yan, with the power of a peak Six-Star Dou Venerate, had entered the battlefield. East Dragon Island had no available strength to intercept him.

“Haha! Qing Yan, step aside. I’m taking the royal-blooded one back to Lord of West Dragon Island!”

Just as Qing Yan rushed toward the inner sanctum of Dragon Island, a thunderous voice rang out across the skies.

Suddenly, a burly black-faced man with a body like a giant ape appeared from a hidden point in the sky. With a sweep of his massive palm, a terrifying force slammed into Qing Yan and sent him flying backward.

“Xuan Mo!”

Qing Yan’s heart trembled as he looked at the black-faced man who had struck him. Shock and disbelief filled his face.

If Xuan Mo hadn’t held back just now, Qing Yan might not have just been sent flying—he might not have walked away at all.

“Haha! The Grand Commander is here! Let’s see how you all plan to fight us West Dragon Islanders for the royal blood now!”

At a distance, Xia Ao, who had been steadily pushed back, was overjoyed to see the newcomer.

The black-faced giant man was named Xuan Mo, the Grand Commander of the Dragon Armor Army of West Dragon Island. His cultivation had reached the early stage of Two-Star Dou Saint, making him incredibly powerful.

On Zhu Li’s side, seeing the black-faced man, his heart also trembled slightly. He hadn’t expected the three Dragon Islands to send such a formidable lineup. It was clear they were determined to obtain the royal blood at all costs.

‘It seems the true strength of the First and Second Elders can no longer remain hidden,’ Zhu Li thought with a heavy sigh.

The next moment, just as Xuan Mo dashed toward the stone hall where Zi Yan was located, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from an inconspicuous stone hall deep within East Dragon Island.

Then, a gray-robed elder shot out of the hall and rose into the sky, blocking Xuan Mo’s path.

This elder was none other than Zhu Mo, East Dragon Island’s Second Elder, who had long been rumored to be in seclusion.

“Zhu Mo! You’ve actually reached the peak of Two-Star Dou Saint? That’s impossible!”

Xuan Mo’s face was filled with disbelief as he sensed the aura emanating from Zhu Mo.

According to the information the other Dragon Islands had gathered, East Dragon Island’s First Elder, Qingshan, was only at mid Two-Star Dou Saint, and Second Elder Zhu Mo was said to be merely a One-Star Dou Saint.

“To think your cultivation reached this level during your seclusion!”

After confirming Zhu Mo’s aura once more, Xuan Mo had no choice but to accept the truth.

“Now that I, Zhu Mo, have emerged from seclusion—Xuan Mo, you won’t take a single step forward!”

Without wasting words, Zhu Mo launched a ferocious attack toward Xuan Mo.

Seeing him charge in, Xuan Mo's face twisted into a snarl. With a furious roar, he punched out with terrifying force, draining the air within a hundred feet in an instant.

Zhu Mo, now in close range, didn’t back down. His arm, transformed into a dragon claw, collided directly with Xuan Mo’s fist.

A deafening metallic crash reverberated across the sky above Dragon Island.

Their clash unleashed a terrifying shockwave that swept out violently from above. Within a radius of a hundred feet, both sides’ nearby experts were sent flying by the storm, their blood surging wildly.

Amidst the energy backlash, Xuan Mo, the Grand Commander of West Dragon Island’s Dragon Armor Army, was clearly at a disadvantage. He staggered backward several steps.

With each step, the ground beneath him collapsed into patches of dark void.

“His strength… it's actually this overwhelming!”

Xuan Mo was shaken.

His physical strength was famous even within the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. Even at early Two-Star Dou Saint, when it came to brute power, those slightly stronger than him still couldn’t suppress him easily.

But this time, just one exchange left his blood churning.

“Zhu Mo! Even if you've reached the peak of Two-Star Dou Saint, do you really think you can defeat the West Dragon King—or the other two Dragon Kings? You won’t be able to protect the royal blood. East Dragon Island should prepare for what’s coming!”

After realizing his disadvantage, Xuan Mo decisively prepared to retreat with his men.

“Whether I can or not—you can have the West Dragon King come and try!”

Just as Xuan Mo threw out his parting threat, a new voice echoed from the island—a deep, ancient voice filled with terrifying pressure.
