"My God, that was truly dangerous! Killing Zhong Wubing they all in a flash, that black shadow is too powerful! Big Brother Shao, my heart almost leaped out just now!" An Ren patted his c.h.e.s.t, a look of lingering fear after the event on his face as he said.
How was Shao Kai any better than An Ren? He merely hung in there desperately and not show it. He nodded his head right away and said, "That black shadow's strength was indeed too powerful! If not for Ye Yuan, we'd definitely be hard-pressed to escape death too!"
Everyone exchanged glances, all not quite recovering to their senses.
How did Ye Yuan actually become a successor in a twinkle of an eye?
They played supporting roles when they entered the final land, then circled one round and returned again. But they all understood that this Dragon Sovereign Territory's truly good treasures were probably in that final land!
"Big Brother Shao, what should we do now? This place …" An Ren swept the surroundings once, his gaze revealing a greedy look.
The surroundings were all treasures!
Shao Kai's expression changed, and he said sternly, "Don't have any ideas! Everything will wait for Ye Yuan to come back before deciding! Don't blame me for not reminding you. Did you forget that pile of ashes on the first floor?"
An Ren's heart pounded, and the expression of greed was swept away. He said embarrassedly, "Haha, I was just saying. Of course we have to wait for Boss Ye to return before deciding. Without him, even if we obtained the treasures, we might not be able to leave either!"
"Humph! Good that you know! Everyone, meditate on the spot and don't do anything. Quietly wait for Ye Yuan's return. If these treasures belong to you, it won't run away. But if anybody wants to court death themselves, I won't stop either!" Shao Kai said with a cold snort.
Everyone's expressions became fearful when they heard that. Recalling Ye Yuan's formidable aspects, they were all endlessly terrified.
When they just entered, there were over a hundred people in mighty ranks. Probably no one would feel optimistic about Ye Yuan either. But walking this whole way, all of the people died, leaving behind just their lot of people where not a single one actually died!
This was something that they did not even dare to think about before entering the Dragon Sovereign Territory.
Ye Yuan virtually brought them to this place by relying on his strength alone!
How to choose seemed to not need any more words as well.
...
"You, a human, actually cultivated dragon wave to middle-stage spirit rank!"
The black shadow was sizing Ye Yuan up. Although his voice was calm, that hint of surprise could not be concealed.
Ye Yuan's cultivation talent in dragon wave, even he himself felt astonished, let alone the others.
Back then, when Ye Yuan had just cultivated dragon wave, it made Long Teng very depressed.
Talking about cultivating dragon wave in front of Ye Yuan seemed to be asking for a beating.
"Uh, as I cultivated, I reached middle-stage spirit rank." Ye Yuan told a big, honest truth very helplessly.
The black shadow distinctly froze. This way of saying things was seriously too irresponsible.
But to Ye Yuan, it was indeed like so.
"Half-divine dragon blood, primeval dragon bone! Boy, your good fortunes were not small! Looks like these few drops of dragon blood won't have much effect on you as well."
The black shadow fished out a small bottle. Inside the small bottle was several drops of fresh blood, but he directly threw it to Ye Yuan.
"Heh heh, dragon blood is good stuff. I won't complain about having too much!" Ye Yuan hurriedly put away the dragon blood.
The black shadow fished out another small and exquisite bell, and directly threw it to Ye Yuan too, and said, "This is the Heavenly King Bell, a transcendent-grade holy artifact! These two items are your rewards for reaching the middle-stage spirit rank dragon wave."
Transcendent-grade holy artifact, even in the Divine Realm, it was extremely rare. Ye Yuan's Starmoon Sword was also a transcendent-grade holy artifact.
In the era where Divine Dao dwindled to zero, divine artifacts disappeared along with it too. Transcendent-grade holy artifacts became the Divine Realm's pinnacle-most existence.
Of course, quasi-divine artifacts like the Vast Heaven Pagoda naturally towered above transcendent-grade holy artifacts.
However, Ye Yuan had yet to hear before of any faction that had quasi-divine artifacts existing.
After Ye Yuan put away the Heavenly King Bell properly, the black shadow said again, "Right now, you have two options! The first, take these two items, and then I'll send you out of the Dragon Sovereign Territory. The second, challenge the final inheritance. However … your life will be at risk! With your strength, it's impossible to succeed in challenging."
Ye Yuan answered without even thinking about it, "What else is there to consider here? Facing such a lucky chance, anyone would also be unable to refuse, right?
The black shadow shook his head and said, "The final inheritance is incomparably perilous. You're too weak and lacking! Take 10 thousand steps back, even if you really obtained the final inheritance's rewards, you'd be unable to operate it too. Furthermore …"
Talking until here, the black shadow hesitated.
"Furthermore, I'm not a member of the dragon race, and am not worthy of getting the final inheritance, is it?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.
The black shadow did not reply. But he clearly already silently acknowledged this fact.
A human obtaining the dragon race's final inheritance was not justifiable.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Senior, when I refine the primeval dragon bone, I'll be able to evolve to the royal bloodline. No matter what my origin is, this bloodline cannot be faked at all. If even royal bloodline is not qualified to obtain an item of the dragon race, then who else is worthy of getting it? Moreover, hearing the meaning in your words, this final inheritance doesn't seem to stipulate that humans can't receive it. Your misgivings … are merely just your own misgivings!"
Ye Yuan's words were not uttered politely at all. This black shadow in front of him was clearly the guardian of the final inheritance. He was not the setter of the rules, just the executor of the rules.
"Humph! A brat actually dares to comment about this Seat recklessly, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"
The black shadow gave a cold snort, and actually attacked at a word of disagreement!
A black dragon appeared with a roar. That imposing momentum was simply like it was going to devour heaven and earth!
"Divine Rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!" Seeing this palm, Ye Yuan drew a cold breath.
He could feel that this Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm absolutely surpassed the limits of spirit rank and reached the legendary divine rank!
This black shadow in front of him was simply powerful until it made people's hair stand on end!
Just what kind of existence was this guy?
But at this time, it did not allow him to think too much. At the moment of life and death hanging by a thread, he could only revolve the essence energy in his entire body to deploy the Vast Heaven Pagoda with all his power!
Facing such an earth-shaking palm, only the Vast Heaven Pagoda could block it.
The black shadow made a slight sound of surprise. The black dragon instantly vanished into thin air, as if it had never appeared before.
Chapter 912 - Son of Heaven's Mandate
"You actually have a quasi-divine artifact in your hands. No wonder when you acquired the Heavenly King Bell earlier, you didn't react much at all," the black shadow said rather surprisedly.
In his view, Ye Yuan should be overwhelmingly excited to obtain a transcendent-grade holy artifact with his strength. But when Ye Yuan saw the Heavenly King Bell, he was like an old well without ripples.
"I-Is it Lord Long Zhan?"
A hesitant voice suddenly sounded out. Lon
g Teng had actually woken up at no idea when and revealed his figure.
Hearing the tone of his words, he actually knew that black shadow.
"I didn't think that there are actually still people who remember this seat in the world! Eh, you're actually an artifact spirit. A noble dragon actually became another person's artifact spirit. What a disgrace to yourself!" The black shadow said with a dirty look.
Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and said, "Didn't your esteemed self became a person guarding a pass as a member of the dragon race too? How much better are you compared to Senior Long Teng?"
Ye Yuan this person was the most protective of his own. Hearing the black shadow disparage Long Teng, he was naturally very unhappy. Even the form of address was changed too.
Things that Ye Yuan were unhappy about, even if the other party was the Jade Emperor, it was impossible to make him cower and take a step back too.
"Ye Yuan, you mustn't be rude! Lord Long Zhang, is … is a Deity Realm powerhouse! The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was created by Lord Long Zhan!"
Long Teng was clearly very respectful towards Long Zhan, even to a worshiping degree. Hence, he was completely unconcerned about his attitude.
Hearing Long Teng's words, Ye Yuan was endlessly shocked too. He did not expect that this black shadow in front of him was actually a Deity Realm powerhouse!
Furthermore, the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm which Ye Yuan cultivated was actually created by this black shadow right before his eyes.
Cultivating the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm for a long time, Ye Yuan deeply experienced the might of this martial technique. Cultivating this martial technique to the limits was absolutely not inferior to the Spirit Bristle Divine King's Nine Suns Burning Heaven!
To be able to create such a top-tier martial technique, this person was surely a character who could shake the heavens and startle the earth.
Except, even if the other party was any stronger, his attitude made Ye Yuan displeased too.
"So what if Deity Realm powerhouse? Circ.u.mstances have changed with the passage of time. Isn't he still only left with a wisp of remnant soul?" Ye Yuan said without the least bit of politeness.
"Heh, what an arrogant brat! You think that I can't do anything to you with just a remnant soul, right? Or do you think that by relying on the quasi-divine artifact in your possession, you can stop this Seat?" Long Zhan said with a cold smile
Ye Yuan said without showing weakness in the slightest, "Your esteemed self can come and give it a try!"
Long Teng's cold sweat poured profusely as he listened by the side.
Ye Yuan this boy was really too unbridled!
Lord Long Zhan was a genuine Deity Realm powerhouse!
Deity Realm represented invincibility! Even if he was just a wisp of remnant soul, he was also not what emperor realm powerhouses could blaspheme, let alone Ye Yuan, a measly little Heaven Enlightenment Realm.
But Long Teng also knew that the reason why Ye Yuan was like this was all because of him. Beyond the terror, Long Teng was still endlessly warm in his heart.
Yet, Long Zhan did not fly into a violent rage like Long Teng imagined but fell silent instead.
After a moment, Long Zhan opened his mouth and said, "How would killing you need this Seat to personally take action? Don't say that this seat doesn't give you the opportunity; the final inheritance, do you really want to challenge it?"
Ye Yuan was slightly surprised too. He already made preparations to have a big fight. But he did not think that Long Zhan actually agreed to let him challenge the final inheritance!
Looks like Long Zhan was very confident in this final inheritance and felt that there was no way he could clear it.
"What a joke. Do you feel that this Little Lord is somebody who jokes around" Ye Yuan said.
"Conceited and arrogant brat! You'll regret it!" Long Zhan said.
"Probably, the one regretting at the end will be you!" Ye Yuan went tit-for-tat as he said.
"Wait a minute!" Long Teng suddenly interrupted the two people's conversation and opened his mouth to say, "Lord Long Zhan, could it be that the final inheritance you're talking about is the Voice of the Dragon God?"
"Looks like you know quite a few things! That's right, it's precisely the Voice of the Dragon God! Why, regretting now?" Long Zhan said with a slight scoff.
When Ye Yuan heard that, he said disdainfully, "This sort of low-grade goading technique, do you think that I'll fall for it? There is no 'regret,' this word, in this Little Lord's dictionary!"
"No way! Ye Yuan, you can't challenge the Voice of the Dragon God!" Long Teng directly interrupted Ye Yuan's words and urged, "The Voice of the Dragon God is one of the dragon race's strongest martial technique! Once the Voice of the Dragon God is unleashed, mountains and rivers will crumble, and heaven and earth will be turned upside down! It virtually has the power to destroy the world! With your current strength, there's simply no way to pull through!"
Long Zhan said with a smile, "Relax, now in this world, there's already nobody able to cultivate Voice of the Dragon God to that sort of degree anymore. The Voice of the Dragon God here doesn't even have one-millionth of that power."
A martial technique possessing the power to destroy the world. How formidable was that? Even if it was one-millionth of the power, it was also not what a puny little Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist could withstand.
Since Long Teng knew about the Voice of the Dragon God and spoke up about its power, Long Zhan felt that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to accept this test.
Yet, he was wrong!
"Heh, the dragon race's strongest martial technique, is it? This Little Lord, I, am very interested with it! I want to take a look at just how powerful is this Voice of the Dragon God's might!" Ye Yuan said with a light smile.
Long Teng's expression changed, and he knew that Ye Yuan's stubborn temper had flared up.
He had spent a long time with Ye Yuan and was still quite familiar with Ye Yuan's temperament.
Once Ye Yuan's stubborn temper flared up, even nine dragons could not pull him back! But speaking of which, without this kind of pressing forward with indomitable will kind of momentum, how could geniuses grow to become a true powerhouse?
"What a gutsy lad. I hope that you can still smile in a while!" Long Zhan said coolly.
The might of the Voice of the Dragon God, no one was clearer than him. A Heaven Enlightenment Realm brat, even if he defied the heavens, it was also impossible to withstand it.
Could the dragon race's strongest martial technique be a joke?
Long Zhan turned towards Long Teng and said, "Boy, it's fine if you yourself were reduced to become other people's artifact spirit, this foresight of finding a successor also makes people dare not sing praises to compliment it! This kind of fool, you actually took a liking to him too!"
But Long Teng shook his head and said, "He wasn't the successor I chose, but the successor the Vast Heaven Stele chose! Although the Voice of the Dragon God is powerful, in my view, he's not totally without chances of survival!"
"Vast Heaven Stele! This brat, could he be the Son of Heaven's Mandate? This … How is this possible?" Hearing this name, Long Zhan was finally visibly moved.
Long Teng nodded and said, "The function of the Vast Heaven Pagoda is merely used for concealing the Vast Heaven Stele! Who it chooses to be the successor, how can it be what I, a puny little artifact spirit, am able to influence?"
Long Zhan fell silent and did not speak for some time.
The shock that this information gave him was too intense.
The Vast Heaven Stele, this name which startled the heavens and shook the earth in human history appeared once more. And this youth before his eyes was actually the successor designated by the Vast Heaven Stele!
Each Vast Heaven Stele successor would ultimately m.a.t.u.r.e into an earth-shaking powerhouse.
Each time the Vast Heaven Stele appeared, it would also be followed by the arri
val of troubled times.
The Vast Heaven Stele's successor would always play a decisive role each time turbulent days arrived.
Therefore, they were called the Son of Heaven's Mandate!
And now, the Voice of the Dragon God already mobilized …
Chapter 913 - Might of the Voice of the Dragon God!
On the stone wall, that largest carving of a dragon actually came to life!
The entire cave instantly became dark. That gigantic dragon coiled around in the darkness, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression!
Ye Yuan's face was akin to an old well without ripples. It was as if foreign objects had no interference to him at all.
He already revolved Heart Like Monolith to the limits!
Although Ye Yuan was very disdainfully verbally, when it truly came down to this moment, he raised his spirits up 120%.
He knew that a test able to make Long Teng so solemn was absolutely extraordinary.
Ye Yuan was naturally aware that the dragon race was a terrifying race. Their power and foundation were absolutely not what outsiders could imagine.
For the Voice of the Dragon God to be able to be called the strongest martial technique, it was bound to startle the heavens and shake the earth.
A test like this, no matter how seriously one took it, it was not over the top.
Crack! Crack!
The gigantic dragon circled around in the air. The horrifying aura became more and more terrifying, and there actually started to have lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
Drawing the bow but not discharging the arrow, just like sharp swords hanging above; it made people even more unsettled.
Ye Yuan suddenly opened both eyes. Raising his hand, it was a Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm that headed for the gigantic dragon!
Crack! Crack!
The azure dragon yet to approach when it was struck by a bolt of lightning and utterly buried in oblivion. The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm which had been ever-victorious actually did not even stir up a wave.
"Cultivating the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm to such a level of attainment, this brat is also a genius that is hard to chance upon. It's too bad. He overestimated his own ability too much!" Long Zhan evaluated Ye Yuan when he saw this scene.
