As Chen Lan and the Water Wind Dragon were battling, a soul body flew out from the depths of the Thunder Emperor Hall, watching their fight with interest.

"To have achieved Thunder Dao Perfection at such a young age, this one is a noteworthy talent. If he could inherit my legacy, he might break through to a realm I've never reached, achieving the true ultimate of the great Dao." The soul body stared intently at Chen Lan.

He was the Thunder Emperor, the legendary Thunder Dao Venerable, now just a broken soul body who did not wish to reincarnate but simply wanted to see his successor before peacefully moving on.

Now, he saw a promising talent.

"Xiao Yao, let me show you what it's like to be submerged by the sea." Suddenly, the Water Wind Dragon shouted coldly, flipping its hand, and the water surface in the domain suddenly surged violently, with endless torrents rushing toward Chen Lan.

This was Celestial River water; if submerged in it, the consequences would be dire.

Chen Lan's eyes narrowed as he summoned the Nine Dragons Cauldron, absorbing the Celestial River water with his full might, taking in as much as came.

"Absorb, absorb all you want, in my domain, the water is endless. I wonder how much your cauldron can hold, and how long your Spiritual Qi can last!" the Water Wind Dragon sneered.

Chen Lan remained expressionless, increasing his Spiritual Qi to completely absorb the Celestial River water, his Spiritual Qi depleting rapidly since he had to maintain the Thunder Domain and operate the Nine Dragons Cauldron.

But the Water Wind Dragon overlooked the most crucial point, which was Chen Lan's recovery speed for Spiritual Qi, something it couldn't compare to. Chen Lan could simultaneously consume and restore, meaning no real consumption, and even gaining more.

The Water Wind Dragon quickly realized this; Chen Lan's expression had no reaction, almost calm.

"Why does your Spiritual Qi recover so quickly?" the Water Wind Dragon exclaimed in shock and immediately unleashed a Great Divine Technique again.

In an instant, the water surface surged, and several gigantic and ferocious water dragons emerged, charging at Chen Lan with wide-open mouths as if to swallow him whole, incredibly terrifying.

In response, Chen Lan raised his eyebrows as several thunderous lions emerged from the Thunder Domain, roaring toward the water dragons.

Boom!

The two forces collided, shattering the tranquility, as the domains of both parties shook violently, becoming extremely unstable.

But Chen Lan's domain trembled more violently. Seeing this, the Water Wind Dragon pressed the attack, reapplying a Spirit Technique, attempting to completely break through Chen Lan's domain.

Soldiers made of water emerged from the water surface, charging toward Chen Lan with several water dragons following behind.

Chen Lan, wielding the Thunderbolt Divine Spear, dashed out violently, slaying the water warriors, quickly reaching the Water Wind Dragon, where an intense battle between man and monster shook the heavens and the earth, the domain quaking.

"Xiao Yao, your domain is about to shatter; you can't beat me," the Water Wind Dragon sneered.

As soon as Xiao Yao's domain shattered, its domain would completely overtake, enveloping Xiao Yao, ensuring its invincibility!

"Is that so?" Chen Lan chuckled lightly, with a thunder lotus faintly appearing between his brows, crackling with thunder.

The Water Wind Dragon noticed it, its eyes widening suddenly: "Are you integrating the power of the Thunder Dao Divine Lotus into your domain?!"

That was a Thunder Dao Treasure; daring to integrate it into your domain, aren't you afraid the domain won't hold?

"You found out too late." Chen Lan smiled coldly.

In an instant, the Thunder Domain swiftly expanded, beginning to devour the Water Domain, with numerous thunder lotus flowers appearing out of nowhere, suspended in mid-air.

Seeing the dense cluster of thunder lotus flowers, the Water Wind Dragon retreated in horror, each lotus containing terrifying Thunder Dao Power that couldn't be touched.

"Torrential Waters!" the Water Wind Dragon roared angrily, its body suddenly enlarging, with the surrounding water surface frantically surging. It reverted to its original form, becoming terrifyingly powerful, and thousands of water columns sprang forth, attacking the thunder lotuses.

"A futile struggle." Chen Lan spoke lightly, the thunder lotus between his brows fully revealed, blooming with dazzling purple light, surrounded by supreme thunder, filling the domain.

In an instant, the domain, like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, continuously devoured the Water Wind Dragon's domain.

Seeing its domain being devoured bit by bit, the Water Wind Dragon panicked. If enveloped by Chen Lan's domain, it would surely die!

Within the domain, I alone reign supreme—this isn't an idle boast.

The Water Wind Dragon surged madly, swinging its tail and claws, attempting to shatter Chen Lan's domain, but to no avail. It could only watch helplessly as the Thunder Domain devoured its domain and eventually enclosed it within, leaving no escape!

"I didn't expect you to dare to integrate the Thunder Dao Divine Lotus into your domain, and it seems to hold. Your perception and constitution are the most terrifying I've ever seen, no wonder you rank first." The Water Wind Dragon looked at Chen Lan in despair.

Claiming the first rank as the strongest was no unwarranted boast.

It could only say it underestimated its opponent.

Now trapped in the opponent's domain, it was powerless to struggle.

The Water Wind Dragon transformed into human form, slumping on the ground, awaiting death in silence.

In an instant, Chen Lan approached, grabbing its neck and lifting it.

"Kill or flay me, do as you wish." The Water Wind Dragon shut its eyes in despair.

But in truth, it still had a means of survival. As a member of the Dragon Race, it contained a Dragon Pill that could revive it upon death, though its cultivation would greatly decline.

As long as the green hills remain, there's hope for wood to burn; survival is key.

"Last time, the Ten Thousand Spirits Illusion Ox showed the same desperate expression. Don't think I don't know; how could you Daoist Venerables not have survival means?" Chen Lan chuckled coldly.

Hearing this, the Water Wind Dragon felt something amiss, its eyes widening in terror: "What do you intend?!"

"Of course, to control you."

In an instant, terrifying Soul Dao Power surged from Chen Lan's hand into the Water Wind Dragon's head, highly aggressive, invading its brain like a virus, reaching its soul!

"No!!!" The Water Wind Dragon struggled wildly, preferring death over submission!

Chen Lan firmly gripped its neck, the powerful force making it feel suffocated, extremely uncomfortable.

"Even if I die, I will not submit!" The Water Wind Dragon roared furiously, gathering Spiritual Power in its Dantian, preparing to self-destruct.

"Great Transformation Dao, you cannot self-destruct." Chen Lan said calmly, using the Great Transformation Dao to alter reality, making self-destruction impossible for the Water Wind Dragon.

Instantly, the Spiritual Qi in the Water Wind Dragon's Dantian dispersed, unable to self-destruct no matter how much it tried to gather it.

"You even know the Great Transformation Dao. This Dao is a miracle, capable of altering reality, changing what many wish to change. You're simply too terrifying." The Water Wind Dragon spoke in terror.

To possess such a Dao, it seemed too outrageous for Xiao Yao.

This can't be someone from the Desolate Celestial Realm; where else could they be from?

"Soul Brand, engrave!"

Chen Lan softly chanted, as boundless Soul Dao Power engraved his brand onto the Water Wind Dragon's soul.

In an instant, the Water Wind Dragon's eyes lost focus, as if its soul had been lost, only to regain clarity after a few seconds, its gaze upon Chen Lan no longer one of resentment but of respect.

Thud, the Water Wind Dragon fell to its knees, bowing its head and calling out:

"Master!"
