Dracula had no more life left in him after uttering his last words, collapsing before Brandon.
"You insignificant pest, you can leave now."
At that moment, the voice of the Lord of Chaos echoed, startling Brandon. He understood immediately that he was the one being addressed.
Without a word, he retreated from the inner chamber, carrying Dracula's corpse. He knew that he was no longer qualified to participate in the struggle here.
Elsewhere, the Lord of Chaos's gaze returned to Ye Cangtian. He spoke slowly, "Kid, it's just you and me now. Do you choose to fight, or to cooperate?"
"That question should be yours!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the other party and continued, "I've said it before, cooperation is not impossible, but you must give me the Chaos Seal. I will certainly honor the agreement!"
"If you can defeat me, I will agree to your condition!" the Lord of Chaos responded upon hearing this.
Ye Cangtian chuckled at this, saying with annoyance, "Lord of Chaos, have you had too much to drink? If I can defeat you, what room would there be for you to negotiate? I could simply take the Chaos Seal by force!"
"The choice is yours. If you want to leave, if you want to take the Chaos Seal, you must fight me. The decision is yours!"
The Lord of Chaos glanced at Ye Cangtian and said this indifferently before closing his eyes. It was clear he had no intention of wasting more words with Ye Cangtian.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian snorted softly, slowly raising his Reaper's Scythe, and said, "In that case, let us fight!"
"Good!"
At these words, the eyes of the Lord of Chaos snapped open, revealing intense fighting intent. He rose directly from the dragon throne, slowly descended the steps, and a black longsword appeared in his hand. A long dragon was faintly coiled around the sword, emitting bursts of dragon roars.
"A good sword!"
Compared to Dracula's cross-shaped sword, that cross-shaped sword was practically trash!
Ye Cangtian took another look at the sword before brandishing his Reaper's Scythe. Facing the formidable Lord of Chaos, Ye Cangtian immediately unleashed one of the thirteen forms of the Reaper's Scythe: Zhan Xiang Si (Severing Lovesickness).
As the massive scythe blade swung towards him, the Lord of Chaos also swung his longsword. Instantly, a black spiritual energy sword shot out.
Boom!
When the scythe blade met the spiritual energy sword head-on, an explosion occurred, and violent spiritual energy swept through the surroundings.
"Not good!"
In the next moment, Ye Cangtian's expression changed. His Zhan Xiang Si had been directly broken by the Lord of Chaos, and the black spiritual energy sword, with its momentum, stabbed towards him.
At the critical moment, Ye Cangtian raised his hand and met it with a Potian Zhan (Sky-Breaking Slash).
Boom!
With another rumbling sound, Ye Cangtian completely neutralized the Lord of Chaos's attack. Seeing this, Lan Yue and Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. They had been terribly tense, and if Ye Cangtian hadn't reacted so quickly, he would have been defeated by this single move. The consequences, in that case, would have been unimaginable.
On the other side, the Lord of Chaos, also witnessing this, suddenly his eyes lit up. He said faintly, "Kid, I didn't expect you to have such impressive soul power!"
He said this because, during their brief clash, if it had been any other Heavenly realm expert, they would have found it difficult to gauge the strength of his attack. However, Ye Cangtian had judged it correctly and responded with the most appropriate defense. This indicated that Ye Cangtian's soul power had reached a terrifying level, which was the only way to perceive everything.
"Heh, you saw through it."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and then said, "The warm-up is over. Now it's time for the real fight, be careful!" As he spoke, two seals appeared in Ye Cangtian's hands. As spiritual energy was infused, the phantom images of the seals instantly hovered in the air.
Hmph!
Seeing this, the Lord of Chaos immediately snorted and also produced a seal in his hand, which was colorful. In an instant, it transformed into a colorful phantom seal, resonating with the Dark Seal and the Dragon Control Seal.
"You have seals, and I have seals too!"
"Moreover, my Chaos Seal is the foremost among the Four Great Seals, and it can completely offset the effects of your two seals."
"This means that, as we are now, we must return to the beginning and fight based on our own strength!"
The Lord of Chaos's voice echoed, and Ye Cangtian's brow furrowed. He had initially thought that with the advantage in the number of seals, he could suppress the Chaos Seal, and also suppress the Lord of Chaos, thereby narrowing the gap in their strength.
But now, it seemed he had been too simplistic. To fight the Lord of Chaos with true strength, this battle would likely be very difficult, especially since he had only recently broken through to the Heavenly realm.
While thinking this, Ye Cangtian straightened his back. He looked at the Lord of Chaos and said, "Come, let's fight!"
"Heh, you have courage!"
The Lord of Chaos looked at Ye Cangtian with admiration, smiled, and then swung his longsword. Instantly, behind him, numerous spiritual energy swords appeared, their number being astonishing. As he brandished his sword, these spiritual energy swords, like dragons, let out clear dragon roars and lunged towards Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian's expression changed instantly, and he swung his Reaper's Scythe. Simultaneously, a massive, closed-eyed dragon head formed around him. With a dragon's roar, the dragon head fearlessly met the black dragon.
At the same time, in the center of Ye Cangtian's brow, his Heavenly Eye slowly opened, shooting out a powerful soul force. Through his strong mental power, Ye Cangtian had already sensed that even with his Blind Dragon technique, he might not be able to block this move from the Lord of Chaos. Thus, out of necessity, Ye Cangtian could only combine it with a soul piercing attack. After all, long-range attacks like the Lord of Chaos's, where spiritual energy permeated his body, relied on soul power for control. Therefore, once the Lord of Chaos's soul was attacked, he would be unable to control his attacks at will, which would give him an opportunity.
"Ah!"
As a trace of soul force entered the Lord of Chaos's mind, a scream suddenly erupted from his mouth. Consequently, the dragon formed by countless spiritual energy swords instantly collapsed. However, this situation only lasted for an instant. The Lord of Chaos quickly recovered, and as he did, the collapsed dragon also reformed.
But at this moment, the closed-eyed dragon head had already powerfully struck. In an instant, the dragon was shattered again. The reformed dragon had not yet reached its peak power. After a momentary clash, it was directly repelled.
Boom!
The massive dragon head shattered the dragon, striking the Lord of Chaos's chest.
Puff!
The Lord of Chaos instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, was sent flying backward, and landed heavily on the dragon throne.
"Kid, in terms of cultivation, you are no match for me!"
"And if I were alive in ancient times, you would still not be my match, even with your powerful soul attacks."
"But facts are facts. I have lost, but I did not lose to you; I lost to the person behind the scenes..."
On the dragon throne, the Lord of Chaos wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze fell on Ye Cangtian, and he said with unwillingness. If his soul power had not been greatly reduced after his revival, how could he have been disturbed by a soul attack of this magnitude? If his attack had not been disturbed by the soul attack, how could it have been broken by Ye Cangtian? And now, even though his injuries were not too severe, and he still had the strength to fight, he knew that as long as Ye Cangtian could still use soul attacks, he had no chance of winning. All of this could only be blamed on the mastermind who, after reviving him, had weakened his soul power to its peak.
Ye Cangtian nodded slowly upon hearing this, saying, "You are right. I did take advantage of my soul power. Otherwise, this blow might have killed me!"
"It's useless to say all this. You have won, and naturally, you can take the Chaos Seal!"
The Lord of Chaos waved his hand, interrupting Ye Cangtian's words. Then, with a wave of his hand, a colorful seal flew out from his grasp and landed directly in Ye Cangtian's hand.
