All five dragons were subdued and captured, thrown into the Celestial Academy, bloodied yet still wreathed in chaotic energy, a testament to their might.
Witnesses in the distance trembled at the sight—these were five dragons, after all, and they had been taken down!
Their divine majesty was unparalleled; combined, they could overturn the heavens themselves.
No one mocked them now, for they remembered who their opponents were—five ancient warriors who had survived the brutal wars of the Immortal Ancient Era, veterans who had cheated death countless times.
The Immortal Ancient War had been merciless, with all clans joining forces against the foreign invaders, fighting until the heavens shattered and the earth cracked, until the world itself was torn asunder. In such dire straits, all the mighty had fallen, and the elites of every race perished. That these five veterans had clung to life, even in their broken states, was nothing short of a miracle—proof of their indomitable will.
Thus, the ferocity with which the five dragons had fought these veterans only proved their own strength. It was not that they were weak, but that their foes were beyond extraordinary.
By the battle’s end, the slumbering spirits within the five veterans had awakened, their combat instincts returning as immortal mist swirled around them, unrivaled in this world.
“Little brat!” Wang Da responded coldly to the golden ant’s taunts before leaping up, his palm raised to strike.
Had his blow landed, even the golden bloodline of the Heavenly Horned Ant would have been pulverized, reduced to a bloody pulp.
**Bang!**
From behind, a spear lashed out like a heavy staff, its dark metal body carrying immense force as it smashed into Wang Da’s back, sending him flying with a mouthful of blood.
Before he could even hit the ground, the veteran’s spear shot forward, **piercing** through his body and pinning him ruthlessly to the earth, blood splattering as he lay motionless.
Such was the might of these veterans who had endured the Immortal Ancient War—ruthless, decisive, and unyielding.
Wang Da groaned, his body convulsing violently. It had to be said—he was terrifyingly resilient, enduring even a soul-rending spear strike.
“Do you still think you can destroy the Celestial Academy?” Shi Hao asked, eyeing them coldly.
**”Ssshhh!”**
Wang Er raised his head, his eyes suddenly shooting forth two beams of silver light, boiling with chaotic energy as they tore through the heavens, aiming to obliterate Shi Hao.
**”Clang!”**
A gleaming halberd intercepted the attack, deflecting the silver beams of chaos!
One of the veterans had intervened, swinging his halberd forward—**slicing** Wang Er diagonally from shoulder to waist in a spray of blood.
The two halves of his body separated, a gruesome sight as Wang Er spasmed in fury, his eyes filled with venom and ruthlessness.
Wang Zhen, his eldest son, had been slain in the Celestial Academy. He had led his brothers here, even bringing their clan’s immortal treasure, only to be captured.
“Still acting tough? Are you truly so deluded?” Cao Yusheng lowered his gaze, addressing the ancient figures before him.
All five Wang Clan dragons had been struck down, each grievously wounded—an unimaginable outcome in the past.
Who didn’t know of the invincible Nine Dragons of the Wang Clan? Yet today, they had become prisoners!
The five experts seethed with humiliation. Never had they imagined such disgrace—captured, their clan’s supremacy shattered in a single day.
Even their Eternal Battle Halberd and Ancestral Edict had been seized. They had become eternal sinners of the Wang Clan.
“Our ancestor is invincible across the cosmos! His words shake the heavens! Return and suppress these fiends!” Wang Da roared, unwilling to accept defeat as he attempted to summon the Ancestral Edict.
**Boom!**
The earth erupted with divine radiance as the edict struggled violently, its inscribed spirit mark resonating with the call to save its descendants.
The land cracked, the skies split—for a moment, it seemed the world itself would collapse!
Yet this upheaval lasted only an instant before being suppressed. The Primordial Mother Cauldron trembled, swallowing sun and moon as it effortlessly pinned the edict in place.
Within the cauldron, countless stars revolved amidst the chaos, immobilizing the edict instantly.
“Awaken, Battle Halberd! Manifest fully in this world and slay our enemies!” Though bisected and bleeding, Wang Er refused to yield, chanting an ancient incantation to summon the Eternal Battle Halberd.
**”Clang! Clang! Clang!”**
The halberd trembled, its radiance sharper than any sword energy, tearing through the firmament and shaking the mortal realm!
Once unleashed, the halberd was said to be invincible. Legends claimed that its true form, cast into the cosmos, could crush entire starfields and annihilate countless worlds.
The Grand Elder stepped forward, unfurling the Bloodstained War Banner, dyed with the essence of an Immortal King. With a **snap**, it wrapped around the halberd, quelling its fury.
“You—!” Wang Er was stunned.
“This banner once wrapped the corpse of an Immortal King, soaked in the blood of countless ancestors. Even a sentient halberd should not defy it,” the Grand Elder said coldly.
“Celestial Academy, you go too far! Meng Tianzheng, do you think the Wang Clan has no one left?!” Wang Er raged.
“Elder Meng, bullying the weak like this will tarnish your name. Remember—our Wang Clan is not yet fallen. Our father still lives!” Wang San spoke, his tone aggressive.
They believed Meng Tianzheng would not dare kill them outright, fearing their father’s wrath.
“Our clan prospers! Our ninth brother has reached the pinnacle, second only to our father. Meng Tianzheng, do you not fear retribution? Even you will age, and your descendants will pay!” Wang Four sneered, his arrogance unshaken.
The other immortal clans watched in silence, for his words held truth. The Wang Clan’s ninth dragon was a terror beyond measure.
It was said that among the Nine Dragons of Wang, each surpassed the last—and the youngest stood supreme.
Wang Nine was rumored to rival even Wang Changsheng himself, his power defying the heavens.
All cultivators, no matter how mighty, would eventually decline. The Grand Elder, despite his peerless strength, was no exception.
But Wang Nine was in his prime, destined to reach unfathomable heights. If he sought vengeance, none could stop him.
“You overthink. As long as I live, no demon shall run rampant. As for the future—I trust new heroes will rise to uphold order. The Wang Clan will not dominate, and Wang Nine will meet his match,” the Grand Elder declared.
Shi Hao felt the Grand Elder’s gaze and burned with resolve. No matter what, he would rise—to face the foreign realm, to suppress the Wang Clan, to protect the Celestial Academy. He needed **absolute** strength.
“Grand Elder, you’re too merciful. Why reason with such people? If it were me, I’d slap them senseless!” Cao Yusheng scoffed, standing firm beside Shi Hao and Meng Tianzheng.
“Insolent whelp! How dare you insult us?!” Wang Four roared, shaking the void despite his sealed cultivation.
He struggled to rise, intent on crushing Cao Yusheng with a single strike.
But the veterans showed no mercy. One swung his celestial glaive—**decapitating** Wang Four in a single stroke.
“Ah—!” Wang Four screamed, an unprecedented torment.
Proud and untouchable all his life, he had never suffered such humiliation.
Though his head could be reattached, the veterans gave him no chance.
“Cao’s right. Grand Elder, you’re too kind. These five wild worms deserve a good thrashing—no need for courtesy,” the golden ant chirped, egging on the veterans.
**Slap!**
And so it happened. The five veterans obliged, for they served the Heavenly Horned Ant lineage. The dragons had insulted their kind—this was justice.
Gasps filled the air as the Wang Clan’s five dragons—nobility incarnate—were **publicly slapped**, the crisp sounds echoing for miles.
The cultivators of all clans stood dumbfounded. This was beyond shocking—the legendary dragons of Wang, pinned down and **slapped like common thugs**.
“This…” No one knew what to say.
