Chapter 651: Chapter 261: Deep into the Dragon’s Lair, Word Spirit Magic
"Word Spirit: Ice Coffin!"
Liliana spoke again, her draconic words like commands of law.
An overwhelming chill erupted right where Lin Ye had just appeared!
In an instant, countless shards of ice materialized from thin air, forming a frozen coffin that trapped Lin Ye inside!
"Word Spirit: Flame Demon’s Grip!"
As the draconic words faded, a Teleportation Gate tore open. The next moment, a colossal claw made entirely of molten rock reached out from behind the gate, clenching viciously around the ice-encased Lin Ye!
Lin Ye remained unhurried and perfectly composed.
After his battle with Xia Lianxue, elemental abilities of this kind, no matter how grandiose, no longer held any threat for him.
’Can you really be stronger than the elemental Frenzy summoned directly from the Sea of Chaos?’
The molten claw dissipated.
Lin Ye was completely unharmed.
Liliana’s pupils quaked in shock!
"That’s impossible!"
Regner roared, his fury practically taking physical form. "Your Magic is pathetic, woman! Let me handle this!!!"
He kicked off the ground with explosive force, transforming into a black bolt of lightning as he charged forward once more.
But in the next instant, Lin Ye caught his incredibly frenzied punch with a single hand.
At that moment, immense shock filled Regner’s single eye!
A human...
had caught his all-out, earth-shattering blow with his bare hands!
’Is he even human???’
While Lin Ye kept the two of them occupied, the world outside had erupted into chaos!
The Ink-Shadow Clan, a lower-tier clan oppressed for centuries, had erupted with unprecedented combat strength after being empowered by Lin Ye.
Fearless in the face of death, they used their familiarity with the terrain and the eerie abilities of their Shadow Concealment Skill to launch a frenzied campaign of assassinations and surprise attacks against the pampered, high-ranking members of the Dragon Race.
For a time, the entire dragon’s nest was plunged into a sea of fire and chaos.
As time ticked by, Liliana watched the unfolding chaos, a trace of anxiety flashing in her draconic eyes.
"Regner! Stop getting tangled up with him! Quelling the rebellion is more important!"
Liliana shouted, "He’s just stalling for time!"
Regner gazed at the dragon’s nest, which had descended into utter pandemonium, and fury erupted from his single eye.
"ROOOAR—!!!"
He threw his head back and let out a sky-shaking roar as his massive, half-dragon body rapidly swelled and transformed!
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying dragon over seventy meters long, its body covered in menacing black bone armor and its wings wreathed in roaring flames, appeared in his place!
Its enormous, crimson single eye stared deeply at Lin Ye, as if to sear his image into its very soul.
Then, it let out another majestic dragon’s roar.
The roar thundered across the entire dragon’s nest.
Following this command, sky-shattering roars erupted in turn from silent fortresses throughout the nest!
Elite guard units from the Claudius Clan, clad in heavy armor and exuding ferocious auras, soared into the sky from their respective garrisons and began to suppress the rebelling Ink-Shadow Clan!
The war instantly escalated to a fever pitch.
However, just as Regner was about to personally enter the fray and crush everything with overwhelming force—
TING-A-LING...
The clear, ethereal chime of a bell rang out without any warning.
The sound wasn’t loud, yet it seemed to emanate from the primordial past, carrying an irrefutable will that instantly pierced through all the clamor and echoed clearly deep within the soul of every dragon.
In the next moment, a sudden change occurred!
"Roar... UGH, AAAAAAH—!!!"
Regner’s colossal dragon body shuddered violently, as if an invisible hand had seized his heart, and he let out a shriek of ultimate agony!
The flames of fury burning on his body were extinguished in an instant. His immense aura deflated like a punctured balloon, rapidly weakening.
His massive dragon form convulsed and shrank in mid-air, finally reverting to his half-dragon state. He crashed heavily to the ground, curling up in pain, his entire body trembling.
He clutched his head tightly with both hands, as if his soul were being sliced by a thousand knives.
Elsewhere, Liliana’s face was ashen. Her small body trembled so violently that she could no longer remain afloat. She fell to the ground in a disheveled heap, then, fighting through the intense pain, she dropped to her knees and kowtowed in the direction of the Sun Palace.
"I have disturbed your slumber... Your Majesty... Please forgive me..."
Her voice was filled with a fear and reverence that stemmed from the depths of her soul.
It wasn’t just them.
At that moment, throughout the entire Celestial Dragon’s Nest, every member of the Dragon Race—whether they were the rebels engaged in battle or the guards sent to suppress them—froze the instant they heard the bell.
They wailed and writhed in agony, until finally, without exception, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling uncontrollably in the direction of the Sun Palace.
Only Lin Ye and all of his Shadow-Stealing Wings remained completely unaffected.
Lin Ye only found the bell’s chime to be ethereal and clear. He felt no discomfort whatsoever.
As he watched this bizarre scene unfold, a thought flashed through his mind.
He immediately issued a command to all the Shadow-Stealing Wings through their master-servant contract.
"Don’t move."
"All of you, kneel. Pretend you’re being controlled."
The nearly ten thousand Shadow-Stealing Wings who received the order didn’t hesitate for a second. They immediately and convincingly joined the wailing masses. Each one was a master actor, collapsing to the ground in agony as if their soul were about to shatter at any moment.
Just then, the great doors of the Sun Palace slowly swung open.
