This place was where the true nucleus of the Dragon Clan was. It was the Dragon Clan’s paramount totem.
Seeing such power and influence, Ye Yuan could not help being shocked in his heart.
Being able to open up such a powerful pseudo world, the Dragon Clan’s power and foundation were truly unfathomable.
“Heh, like a bumpkin, saw the Heavenly Dragon Mountain and got stunned, right?” Ao Yu’s mocking voice came from the back.
“Outsider bumpkin, probably haven’t even entered a Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda before. How could he have seen before the Heavenly Dragon Mountain’s magnificence!” Ao Zhong also said with a scornful look.
Ye Yuan’s gaze swept across the two people’s faces and said with a light smile, “Endure the whole way, finally can’t hold back anymore, right? Ao Yu, I did away with your second uncle. You could actually endure until now, this Ye admires.”
Ao Yu’s face turned cold and he said in a cold voice, “Ye Yuan, don’t you get cocky! The Battle of Dragon Sons this time will be the battle where you fall!”
Ye Yuan could not help laughing when he heard it and said, “Why would I not be cocky? I want to be cocky! I killed a Heavenly Emperor, such a refreshing thing is sufficient for me to be arrogant for ten thousand years! In the future, I’ll tell everyone I meet that I ended a Heavenly Emperor, and that person was your, Ao Yu’s, second uncle! Do you have an objection?”
“Pfft!” The Long Xiaochun by the side could not hold back anymore and snickered.
Ye Yuan this fellow really did not use a word of vulgarity when trolling people.
Looking at Ao Yu’s face, it practically turned green.
The resources that Ao Xu had secretly gotten for so many years, the vast majority were all used on Ao Yu. Therefore, he regarded Ao Xu, his second uncle, highly.
Now, Ye Yuan kept babbling on about how he dispatched his second uncle, it was equivalent to tearing at his scar, showing off his cleverness after coming off cheap. How could it not enrage him?
Ao Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, “Good! Very good! Ye Yuan, looks like you won’t shed tears without seeing the coffin! There’s lots of time. You won’t shed tears without seeing the coffin!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Even your second uncle, this Heavenly Emperor, was finished off by me. So who the hell are you? You’re not qualified enough to threaten me yet!”
Ao Yu was angered until his face was livid and he said with a cold sneer, “Huhu! Although I don’t know what scheme or trick you used, Long Xiao is absolutely not who you can subdue! The Battle of Dragon Sons, what it relies on is all genuine ability! Want to resort to trickery? No chance! You just wait to suffer my wrath!”
Indeed, for Ye Yuan to be able to subdue Long Xiao and his gang, he had the advantage of the terrain.
If not for that area of spatial rifts being extremely unstable, it would have been impossible for Ye Yuan to want to trap Long Xiao to death.
Let alone force Long Xiao to surrender.
“Is that so? Then your wrath, it has to be a little more fierce. I’m afraid that … it’s not enough to whet my appetite,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Toward Ao Yu’s threat, Ye Yuan did not take it seriously.
With his current strength, even when facing off against a Third Firmament Empyrean, he also had the ability to protect himself.
Ao Yu was merely a peak Second Firmament Empyrean, Ye Yuan did not take him seriously.
What he truly minded were those Third Firmament Empyrean Sons of the Heavenly Dragon!
Chapter 2163. Kneeling neither to Heaven nor Earth! |
“Alright, Dragon Sons, stop arguing. Whatever grudges you have, you can naturally settle it in the Mist Battlefield.”
At this time, the protector elder, Ao Qi, who was leading the team finally stepped forward to speak.
Those present were all Sons of the Heavenly Dragon and were also existences that had the hopes of advancing to be a Heavenly Dragon.
Although he was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, he could not afford to provoke a single one.
But if he still did not speak at this time, both sides were probably going to start fighting.
“Humph!” Ao Yu snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Ao Qi said coolly, “Alright, it’s almost time. We should enter the Heavenly Dragon Mountain!”
It was only to see him flick his sleeves grandly. The few people were virtually unable to resist and were brought by him flying toward Heavenly Dragon Mountain.
Ye Yuan only saw a blur before his eyes, and he arrived on a platform very soon.
Above the platform, it was still blocked by a cloud of fog, unable to see clearly.
Ye Yuan could feel that although they had already entered the Heavenly Dragon Mountain here, it was just the foot of Heavenly Dragon Mountain.
Upon entering Heavenly Dragon Mountain, Ye Yuan felt that the spiritual energy was extremely abundant, not beneath the Heavenspan Mountain’s.
Sure enough, this place was an excellent venue for cultivation. No wonder even Ao Zhen that kind of powerhouse wanted to enter this place too.
At this time, there were already quite a number of youngsters standing on the platform. These people all had a Heavenly Dragon Mark at their glabella area. Clearly, they were all Sons of the Heavenly Dragon.
“It’s Purpledragon Stronghold’s people. Huhu, the last time, Purpledragon Stronghold was at the bottom. The ones that came this time are also nothing much!”
“Weaklings will always be weaklings. Even if they became a Son of the Heavenly Dragon, they are also a bunch of trash!”
“If I had to say, Purpledragon Stronghold’s qualification should just be directly revoked! They actually sent a First Firmament Empyrean over this time, looks like Purpledragon Stronghold really has no one.”
… …
Ye Yuan and the rest still had not stood firmly when a series of mockery immediately came over.
Those Sons of the Heavenly Dragon were clearly very unfriendly toward Purpledragon Stronghold. Each and every one of them had looks of amusement on their faces.
Ao Qi’s expression was very ugly, but the status of these Sons of the Heavenly Dragon were all higher than him, he really could not talk back.
Purpledragon Stronghold’s people, including Ao Yu, each and every one of their expressions was very ugly.
“Ao Qi, it’s you leading the team this time again? During the last time, your Purpledragon Stronghold was virtually completely wiped out. Only one escaped from the Mist Battlefield and even had his Heavenly Dragon Mark stripped. Is that boy dead yet?” Not far away, a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse said with a look of ridicule.
Ao Qi’s face fell and he said, “Long Zifeng, you guys mere took fifth place and you’re already arrogant until like this?”
Long Zifeng laughed loudly and said, “In front of Heavenly Dragon Stronghold, I naturally don’t dare to be arrogant. But in front of your Purpledragon Stronghold, this emperor naturally has the capital to be arrogant! Furthermore, the Battle of Dragon Sons this time, our Cloud Dragon Stronghold’s Long Seven has the potential to aim for the top three!”
Ao Qi smiled coldly and he said, “Top three, you really dare to say that! Putting aside the Heavenly Dragon Stronghold, Black Dragon Stronghold and Auspicious Dragon Stronghold both have extremely strong bloodlines. Just the likes of you guys also want to enter the top three?”
Long Zifeng had a smug look as he said, “Long Seven already awoken two innate divine abilities. Furthermore, his Heavenly Dragon Mark already awoken! Do you think he has the strength to enter the top three?”
Heavenly Dragon Mark was not just a symbol of status.
That was the powerful strength that Heavenly Dragon Mountain bestowed on ordinary dragons. Once awaken the Heavenly Dragon Mark, one would obtain powerful strength and could let their martial techniques and divine abilities obtain varying degrees of augmentation, the power being boundless.
Of course, wanting to
awaken the Heavenly Dragon Mark, one also needs tremendous lucky chance and talent in itself.
Among the Sons of the Heavenly Dragon present, there were scanty few capable of awakening the Heavenly Dragon Mark.
Furthermore, the dragon race’s innate divine abilities were even harder to awaken than the Qilin Clan. Furthermore, the power of each kind of innate divine ability was tremendous.
Long Seven actually awakened two innate divine abilities, his strength could be imagined!
Hearing Long Zifeng’s smug voice, the faces of many Sons of the Heavenly Dragon present changed slightly.
If it was really as Long Zifeng said, he would really have hopes of entering the top three!
“All came huh.” At this time, an illusory voice suddenly sounded out in everyone’s ears.
A sagely-looking old man slowly came down from the clouds and landed on the platform.
The group of Sons of the Heavenly Dragon, including Heavenly Emperors, knelt down one after another when they saw this old man.
“We pay respects to Lord Morningstar!”
When Ye Yuan looked at the old man, his pupils could not help shrinking.
This old man gave him an unfathomable feeling. His aura was not beneath Ji Mo’s!
This was also to say that this old man was surely a late-stage Heavenly Emperor terrifying existence.
But this old man was much lousier compared to that one he met in the Dragon Eye Cave.
Morningstar swept a glance, but his gaze landed on Ye Yuan.
When Ao Yu saw this scene, he could not help smiling coldly.
At this time, everyone knelt down, only Ye Yuan alone stood there like a wooden rod, appearing extremely towering.
This brat had eyes but could not see. When he saw Lord Morningstar, he actually did not fall to his knees, this was asking for trouble!
Even if one was a Son of the Heavenly Dragon, their status would also be inferior to a genuine Lord Heavenly Dragon.
In front of a Lord Heavenly Dragon, even a Dragon Lord was also merely mediocre.
“Ye Yuan, this is Lord Morningstar! Lord Morningstar is a Heavenly Dragon, his status being most lofty. Why haven’t you paid respects?” Ao Qi said in a solemn voice.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “I, Ye Yuan, kneel to neither Heaven nor Earth, only to my parents! I can bow, but kneeling … forget it!”
Ao Yu sneered and said, “Fool! Courting death!”
Heavenly Emperors did not have the authority to kill Sons of the Heavenly Dragon, but Heavenly Dragons did!
Even if Morningstar would not casually kill people, punishing could be done.
“Hahaha, a fine kneeling to neither Heaven nor Earth! Ye Yuan, hope that you still have this kind of breadth of spirit when you reach my level of boundary!” Morningstar said with a loud laugh.
“Senior Morningstar, rest assured. Ye Yuan’s heart will never change!” Ye Yuan said coolly.
He said so and also did so.
Morningstar sized Ye Yuan up rather interestedly and said, “You’re the newly promoted Son of the Heavenly Dragon, Ye Yuan?”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Precisely so.”
Morningstar said, “Good, hope that you won’t let this emperor down in the Battle of Dragon Sons this time!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “I definitely won’t let Senior down.”
Morningstar nodded slightly, but beckoned his hand at Long Xiaochun and said, “Xiaochun, come over.”
Ao Yu was stunned, a baffled look on his face.
It was over just like that?
On what basis?
Disrespect towards a Heavenly Dragon was a major offense!
A powerful like Morningstar did not allow the slightest bit of disobedience at all.
But he let Ye Yuan off just like that so easily?
Ao Yu knelt on the ground, his face vacant, disbelief on his face.
Not just him, everyone was incomparably shocked.
A haughty fellow like Ye Yuan, shouldn’t Lord Morningstar have smacked him to death with one slap?
They did not understand, but Ye Yuan had some guesses.
Most likely, the way he obtained the Heavenly Dragon Mark was different from the others.
The existence in the Dragon Eye Cave was definitely not an ordinary Heavenly Emperor powerhouse.
It might even be a level of existence like Sacred Ancestor High Priest.
Toward that kind of existence, Ye Yuan still did not have a concept at present. But he had a blurry understanding of it. It did not seem as simple as just there being a massive chasm between Heavenly Emperor and Dao Ancestor.
Long Xiaochun was like a startled rabbit. Pursing her mouth, she shuffled her feet over to Morningstar’s side and called in a low voice, “Grandpa Morningstar.”
Morningstar rebuked her and said, “You lass! This time, you must go up the Heavenly Dragon Mountain with me!”
Chapter 2164. A Thousand Years Later |
“I … I’m not going! What’s good about the Heavenly Dragon Mountain? It’s like a cage!” Long Xiaochun said unwillingly.
Everyone was rendered speechless. Everyone wanted to go up Heavenly Dragon Mountain even in their dreams, this little girl was actually not willing!
She should not make fun of people like this!
Morningstar pulled a long face and said, “This is your fate! No matter whether you’re willing or not, you have to accept this arrangement. A great era is about to arrive. Only by possessing sufficient strength, can one survive, and can our Dragon Clan last!”
Long Xiaochun’s head shook like a rattle drum, and she said, “I don’t want means I don’t want! I still want to follow Ye Yuan and roam the Heavenspan World!”
Long Xiaochun threw a tantrum, giving Morningstar a headache.
Ye Yuan was rather surprised though. He did not expect that this little girl actually already made up her mind to go out with him.
One should not look at how Long Xiaochun was normally happy-go-lucky Once this lass decided on something, even nine Heavenly Dragons could not pull her back either.
But in this aspect, this girl was rather similar to him.
Morningstar glared, the sullen rage of a Heavenly Dragon quietly erupted. Everyone present felt tremendous pressure and could not help prostrating even lower.
That was the pressure originating from the bloodline!
“Time waits for no man! Lass, if you still don’t enter the Heavenly Dragon Mountain this time, this emperor will be forcefully bringing you up.”
Long Xiaochun’s stubborn temper flared up too, and she said angrily, “Grandpa Morningstar, if you dare to forcefully bring me up, I’ll cry every day for you to see!”
Morningstar’s face turned black. Thinking about this girl’s destructive power, the corners of his mouth could not help twitching.
Of course, although this destructive power was not to the extent of causing any damage to Heavenly Dragon Mountain, sending it into a tizzy could not be avoided.
Morningstar immediately felt his head swell. He looked at Long Xiaochun and billowed his beard as he glared and actually did not know what he should do for some time.
The Sons of the Heavenly Dragon present were all incomparably shocked in their hearts.
They were still curious previously. Long Xiaochun did not have a Heavenly Dragon Mark. So why would she come to the Battle of Dragon Sons.
Looking at it now, Long Xiaochun’s identity was extraordinary!
They could all tell that even though Morningstar was angered until he was billowing his beard and glaring, he had a kind of unspeakable doting toward Long Xiaochun.
It seemed like Long Xiaochun was the Dragon Clan’s future!
While they, these Sons of the Heavenly Dragon, were merely dregs.
“You … You lass, angering this emperor to death!” Morningstar nearly jumped up.
Seeing Morningstar’s appearance, Long Xiaochun felt pleased with herself.
Either way, she did not want to go up the H
eavenly Dragon Mountain and also did not want to cultivate.
“Senior Morningstar, let me try!” Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up.
Morningstar gave him a glance, shook his head, and said, “It’s no use! This lass, even her mother can’t put her in place.”
While Long Xiaochun looked at Ye Yuan vigilantly and said, “Ye Yuan, just whose side are you standing on? No need to urge me! Either way, I won’t go up Heavenly Dragon Mountain!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Girlie, with my talent, how big do you think that gap between you and me will be after a thousand years?”
Long Xiaochun was taken aback, she really never considered this problem before.
But the Sons of the Heavenly Dragon by the side, each and every one of them revealed disdainful looks.
“This guy is really cocky!”
“A thousand years time, how big a gap can there be?”
Ao Yu knew more than the others and said with a cold smile, “Long Xiaochun’s cultivation talent is extremely high. She would also have a middle-stage Empyrean cultivation no matter what after a thousand years! Could it be that he can cultivate to the late-stage Empyrean Realm?”
Saying that Ye Yuan could cultivate to the late-stage Empyrean Realm a thousand years later, he did not believe it even if beaten to death.
The Sons of the Heavenly Dragon present, each one was a genius in cultivation, who could be lousier than Ye Yuan?
Even they did not dare talk about how it would be like a thousand years later.
What basis did this brat have?
However, Long Xiaochun held her head in her hand and pondered for a while, and said seriously, “A thousand years later, you can probably kill me by puffing out a breath …”
“W-What?”
Ao Yu somewhat doubted his own ears. The other Sons of the Heavenly Dragon’s faces also had stunned looks.
They all, these Sons of the Heavenly Dragon, were all very close in strength.
A thousand years, a distinction could not be made at all.
