The mist at the summit of Sunset City exploded.
Inside, there were dozens of gigantic Flying Lizard Clan shadows. Their faces were twisted in rage, each dragon was burning with the energy within them. They had been careless, underestimated him, and never anticipated that Ye Zhongming would be so ruthless, with a mastery of rules that had such lethal power.
It wasn't really the fault of the high-ranking members of the Rebel Dragon Race. No one would believe that a single person could face an entire race... although the population of that race was relatively small... and suddenly unleash such a large-scale destructive power from the rules, and succeed in doing so.
It is true that peak experts are the strongest combat strength among the All Races of the Universe, but that doesn’t mean this level of power is invincible. The power of rules, although it can be wielded as primordial power, cannot cover the sky alone. There are limits and thresholds; otherwise, other races would not have let the Slave Race dominate for countless years.
From the perspective of the high-ranking members of the Flying Lizard Clan, they thought that a new peak expert like Ye Zhongming could only kill a few dragons at full strength. If he made a move, then it would be just right; the high ranks didn’t mind taking this opportunity to get rid of him.
Even though he had the Su Clan and the Library Palace behind him, that was only when he was alive, when he had value as a person. Once he suddenly died and became worthless, the elders of the Flying Lizard Clan did not feel that matters would reach an unnegotiable level.
At worst, they would have to pay a price, even sacrificing an elder would be acceptable. Because the losses would be compensated many times over by other races, especially from the Myriad Clans Assembly.
So they allowed Ye Zhongming's actions; they genuinely didn’t think it would lead to anything significant.
However, the current outcome gave them a heavy and regretful lesson. The Rebel Dragon Race had already seen a decline in their dragon soldiers. Though they might have seemed numerous, that was merely a visual effect caused by their large size; in reality, their numbers were quite small compared to other races.
Now, even though there were some of their clansmen left outside, the majority had turned into gray corpses from Ye Zhongming's attack, essentially declaring that the Flying Lizard Clan had become a micro-race. If they ensured the quality of reproduction and continued for several generations, their numbers would directly approach extinction.
Extermination, this was extermination.
For the remaining elder members of the Flying Lizard Clan, who were old but had certainly lost some abilities, the fact that Ye Zhongming, who had effectively caused their near extinction, was still approaching them without stopping was a deep provocation and disdain that struck them hard.
The two elders of the Flying Lizard Clan closest to Ye Zhongming charged down, their bodies enveloped in hatred, stretching to maximize the power of their spells.
The other four elders followed closely, dispersing instead of gathering together, clearly not wanting to give Ye Zhongming a chance to escape.
"You are dead for sure!" The Grand Elder shouted furiously at Ye Zhongming.
The Grand Elder knew that no peak expert could remain in perfect condition after unleashing such terrifying powers; they must be in a weakened state.
Ye Zhongming was certainly no exception, and in such a condition, he wanted to challenge over ten peak dragons, which made the elders of the Flying Lizard Clan even more furious.
After saying that, the Grand Elder regretted it.
He saw the light flashing from Ye Zhongming's wrist.
"The second container of Eres."
A pair of divine level auxiliary equipment that could double the energy storage of the wearer, available for immediate use.
Energy excluding life energy.
Along with the Earth Veil and the fallen saint bow that Ye Zhongming had previously revealed, this was already his third divine level item.
