Around 100 thousand years ago, Long Zhan was the dragon clan's last Deity Realm clan leader. But when he was at his prime, he left the dragon clan quietly by himself and was not heard from ever since.
Not long after, the Deity Realm powerhouses all disappeared overnight. There was no longer any news from Long Zhan.
What happened back then, nobody knew at all. Now that Long Teng ran into Long Zhan, he naturally wanted his queries answered.
"Heh, this Seat leaving the dragon clan back then, was actually because I received the summons of the Old Dragon God! You should know, our clan's supreme treasure, the Sacred Dragon Token, was taken away by the Old Dragon God 1 !"
Long Zhan talked tirelessly like he was describing a very normal matter. But it was like dreadful waves that surged towards the skies in Long Teng's ears.
"Sacred Dragon Token! Old Dragon God was actually still alive at that time?!" Long Teng was incredibly shocked.
The Old Dragon God from Long Zhan's mouth was the previous clan leader before Long Zhan. It was said that his strength was immensely formidable.
Long Zhan was brought up by the old clan leader single-handedly.
"Heh, the Old Dragon God's strength is what you're utterly incapable of imagining at all! Even when I was at my prime, I can't beat one of his hands either!" Long Zhan laughed mockingly.
Long Teng's expression became slightly fearful, and immense waves billowed to the skies in his heart.
100 thousand year's time erased too many things. Even a dragon clan concealed many secrets too.
"Milord, then … where have Deity Realm powerhouses gone? What in the world happened 100 thousand years ago?"
Long Teng asked the most critical question. At present, all of the Divine Realm's martial artists were all concerned and searching for the answer to the question.
Long Zhan mused for a moment, but he slowly said, "Don't ask me this question, because I don't know as well! The current me is only a wisp of remnant soul left behind by my original body back then to use to guard the Dragon Sovereign Territory. Although I have some of the original body's memories, the vast majority of the memories, especially memories pertaining to Deity Realm, were all wiped away already."
Long Teng was startled. He did not think that there would actually be such a thing.
Long Teng finally managed to meet a Deity Realm powerhouse, but his memories were actually wiped away.
The mystery of Divine Dao disappearing, the more one pursued, the stranger and more confusing it was!
"Hey! I already passed the test! Where's the reward?"
Ye Yuan already finished consolidating at god knows when and actually directly came over to ask for the reward, and did not show any respect to Long Zhan at all.
"Hold on!"
Long Zhan threw down two words, his figure moved, and he vanished from sight.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan could not help being speechless as he said, "This fellow, really irresponsible. He wouldn't have run away like this, right?"
"Talking nonsense! Lord Long Zhan is a man of his words! How can he possibly run away?!" Long Teng immediately reproached.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Heh, don't mind it! I'm just curious, this Voice of the Dragon God is so terrifying, what kind of thing will the final reward be? He already gave a transcendent-grade holy artifact before this. He wouldn't directly give me a divine artifact this time, right?"
Ye Yuan's voice had yet to fade when a rift directly opened up in the void. Countless electric light wormed out from inside the void and instantly filled the entire cave.
Boundless dragon pressure, as if it was the galaxy in the sky, poured down.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan could not help gasping in amazement too!
He had yet to see the true face of the final reward, and Ye Yuan already felt its power!
"Hiss … What a powerful dragon pressure! Senior Long Teng, you're a member of the dragon clan too. Do you know what this thing is? En? Senior Long Teng?"
Ye Yuan looked over towards Long Teng but discovered that Long Teng was staring fixedly at that item which slowly appeared in the void.
"Could it be … Could it be … Impossible! How is this possible?" Long Teng murmured.
"You didn't see wrongly. It's the Sacred Dragon Token."
At this time, Long Zhan's figure slowly appeared once more.
Ye Yuan involuntarily looked towards him, and his expression could not help changing. "You …"
"The Sacred Dragon Token coming into being, my mission is also complete. I'll naturally vanish like mist and smoke. It's just, I don't know if the original body is still alive or not." Long Zhan's gaze looked towards the endless void as if wanting to find traces of his original body.
But 100 thousand years had passed already. Where have Deity Realm powerhouses gone, nobody knew either. He, Long Zhan, naturally did not know as well.
At this time, Long Zhan, that mass of black shadow, gradually became faint and was going to disappear very soon.
"Brat, the Sacred Dragon Token is the dragon race's supreme treasure, and also the symbol of the identity of the clan leader! Now that you've acquired it, you must detach yourself from the human race and become a member of my dragon race! It gives you great strength. Conversely, you have to brave fire and floodwater for the dragon race too!" Long Zhan said solemnly.
Ye Yuan froze, and he shook his head and said, "I'm a human, this won't ever change! Using a precious treasure to kidnap my identity, not possible! What to do in the future, I have the final say, while you … don't!"
Presently, Ye Yuan's dragon race bloodline could virtually rival the royals already.
But no matter what, Ye Yuan had never considered himself to be a member of the dragon race. Want him to give up on his identity as a human and thoroughly become a dragon, that was something impossible.
Long Zhan mused for a moment and suddenly said, "I knew that you, this punk, won't obey obediently! Forget it, how to act in the future, it's your business! But you have to promise me, if the dragon clan has any needs, you must help! If you're not around anymore one day, return the Sacred Dragon Token to the dragon clan!"
Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said with a nod, "That's not impossible. Fine, I promise you! When the dragon clan is in trouble, I'll take action!"
The black shadow became increasingly fainter. Long Zhan finally looked at Long Teng and said, "You, this brat, are also an arrow at the end of its flight already. Forget it, this is a Skandha Divine Stone, take it. Before leaving, I'll gift you another good fortune!" Old Dragon God can also be interpreted as the former Dragon God. But I'm going with Old Dragon God since it doesn't appear anymore after this chapter, and I don't want any confusion later on that the clan leader of the dragon clan is called Dragon God because I can't remember what happens later.
Chapter 916 - Divine Essence
Long Zhan formed seals with both hands. A cloud of black gas emitted from within Long Zhan's black shadow and directly entered inside Long Teng's body.
After the black gas entered Long Teng's body, his aura instantly strengthened considerably.
"This is my last trace of soul force. Saving it is pointless too, might as well give it to you. With this trace of soul force, you should be able to recover 30-40% of your strength. Plus the Skandha Divine Stone, before long, you should be able to recover to your peak condition," Long Zhan said calmly.
Ye Yuan was slightly startled in his heart by the side. This wisp of remnant soul of Long Zhan's was clearly feeble to the extreme already. It actually still had such power.
The might of Deity Realm powerhouses was indeed unimaginable!
"Thank you very much, Lord Long Zhan!" Long Teng bowed respectfully and said.
Long Zhan waved his hand and said, "My soul force being depleted, I'm only left with a trace of residual consciousness. Whether it's going with the wind or returning to the original body, I'm looking forward to it very much too! Brat, don't forget your promise!"
Finishe
d talking, Long Zhan's body became more and more illusionary, all the way until it finally disappeared.
And right at this time, a hard object the size of a short stick slowly flew out from the void and came to Ye Yuan's hand.
When Long Teng saw this item, he was immediately extremely agitated: "Sacred Dragon Token! It's really the Sacred Dragon Token! It's been missing for over 100 thousand years already. I didn't think that it was actually buried inside this Heavenly Slaughter Pit! Just what in the world happened back then?"
Ye Yuan said curiously, "This thing is really your dragon race's treasure? No matter how I look at it, it's also not much different from a fire rod?"
One could not blame Ye Yuan for being curious too. This thing that looked similar to a short staff in front of him was really too unremarkable.
Its whole body was pitch-black. There were even traces of wear and tear on the staff's body. It did not have the slightest trace of essence energy undulation either. Compared to the overwhelming astoundment from when it made an appearance, the difference was too great.
This kind of lousy toy actually also dared to claim to be the dragon clan's supreme treasure?
"Rubbish! The Sacred Dragon Token is a divine artifact! How can it be what you and I can appraise? A divine artifact coming into being, most likely … turbulent days are really going to arrive!" Long Teng said with a solemn expression.
Divine Dao dwindling to zero, all divine artifacts were also submerged in history.
Now that a divine artifact had descended upon the world anew, Long Teng kept having a foreboding premonition.
"Speaking of divine artifacts, what is the Vast Heaven Stele? Also, the Soul Suppressing Pearl. Ugh … I can't understand what it's all about!" Ye Yuan said helplessly.
Long Teng was speechless. Divine artifacts were likewise incomparably mysterious to him.
Forget about him, even Fang Tian did not figure out just what kind of the existence the Vast Heaven Stele was either.
"Forget it, forget it. Better go out first. Since it's good stuff, keep it first then say. But … how should we go out?" Ye Yuan said speechlessly.
Long Zhan that fellow disappeared just like that, leaving them trapped inside this cave.
Long Teng said, "This place should be an independent space. Want to get out of here, we must shatter the space here."
"Mm, the Voice of the Dragon God was so powerful, and it had no way of shattering this space. In our current states, we can't get out at all!" Ye Yuan said helplessly.
The Voice of the Dragon God's sound wave attacks were very powerful. It even made tremors appear in the space. But it still did not shatter this space.
Although Ye Yuan's strength advanced greatly, to make him shatter this space, he examined himself and knew that he did not have this ability either.
Long Teng mused for a moment and suddenly said, "According to the records in the clan, the Sacred Dragon Token has the ability to shatter the void! Wasn't it hidden in the void previously too?"
Ye Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he took the Sacred Dragon Token out once again.
He poured essence energy into the Sacred Dragon Token. But, there was no reaction at all.
"As expected, is it a fire rod?" Ye Yuan said speechlessly.
Long Teng shot him a glare and said crossly, "Divine artifacts are used by Deity Realm powerhouses. Want to activate the Sacred Dragon Token, you must use divine essence!"
"Divine essence? What's that?" Ye Yuan said with a baffled look.
"Divine essence, simply put, it's the essence energy that Deity Realm powerhouses use! After mystic qi enters the body and gets refined by Deity Realm powerhouses, it will convert into divine essence!" Long Teng explained.
Regarding Long Teng knowing these things, Ye Yuan was not surprised. The dragon race was one of the races with the longest legacy. They were bound to know some things that the outside world did not know.
But counting in this time, it was Ye Yuan's second time hearing mystic qi this name.
"But … where do I get divine essence? Without divine essence, isn't this just a fire rod in my hands?" Ye Yuan said speechlessly.
"Divine essence, don't you have it on you?" Long Teng suddenly looked at Ye Yuan with a smile that was not a smile.
Ye Yuan could not help being stunned when he heard that. Suddenly startling awake, he said, "You're saying … that strange essence energy in my essence energy sea?"
Long Teng said smilingly, "That's right! These divine essences are incomparably precious. They were all obtained by Fang Tian at the Godsfall Mountain Range after exhausting his abilities back then. Each drop is incomparably precious. But didn't expect that in the end, it benefited you, this brat."
Ye Yuan was speechless. Turns out that he had been in possession of a treasure all along but was not aware of it! This strange essence energy was actually the divine essence used by Deity Realm powerhouse!
Except, martial artists under Deity Realm were completely unable to unleash the true power of divine essence.
To Ye Yuan, the function of divine essence was merely to instant-cast martial techniques.
If those Deity Realm powerhouses found out that he used divine essence like this, they would definitely be enraged until they climb out from a corpse pile.
But fortunately, Ye Yuan was also aware that this thing was very precious and had never really used it since obtaining it until now.
Ye Yuan shot Long Teng a cross glare and said, "You knew these long ago and actually didn't tell me all along! Weren't you afraid that I squander these divine essences away?"
Long Teng said with a smile, "You obtained it, it naturally belongs to you. How to use it is also your business."
Ye Yuan was thoroughly defeated. He s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and carefully mobilized several drops of divine essence, and poured it into the Sacred Dragon Token!
All of a sudden, the Sacred Dragon Token gave off a dazzling light. Ye Yuan had yet to activate it when a terrifying aura transmitted out like when it just appeared!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Ye Yuan suddenly deployed it, abruptly giving a smash towards the void. This area of space actually fragmented apart inch by inch in a split second!
Boom!
The entire space suddenly collapsed. Ye Yuan's and Long Teng's figures shrunk and were s.u.c.k.e.d away by some kind of mysterious force.
Puff, puff, puff …
Above the pavilion's second floor, those several dozen lanterns instantly all extinguished.
Seeing this scene, Shao Kai suddenly stood up and said with a frown, "What happened? Ye Yuan he … Something wouldn't have happened, right?"
"Boss Ye is so formidable, it's impossible for something to happen," An Ren said.
With a whoosh, space lightly fluctuated. Ye Yuan's figure appeared inside the pavilion-building once more.
Seeing Ye Yuan appear, An Ren said with a hearty laugh, "What did I say? In this world, a person able to make Boss Ye get into an accident has yet to be born!"
An Ren's idolization towards Ye Yuan already reached a blind degree.
But Shao Kai's expression changed and he said, "Ye Yuan, you … you broke through again?"
Ye Yuan merely went to that space for several days time and actually broke through three minor realms in a row. He was already almost breaking through to Phaseless Realm!
This sort of improvement speed was truly too outrageous.
Chapter 917 - Don't Even Know How to Put on an Act
Rumble …
Outside of the Dragon Sovereign Territory, the 12 Exalts who were currently meditating suddenly opened their eyes, each and every one of them incomparably shocked.
"What happened? Why did the Dragon Sovereign Territory start to collapse?" an Exalt said solemnly.
"Impossible! This Dragon Sovereign Territory is definitely the grotto of a Deity Realm powerhouses! Who can make it collapse?" Exalt Blazing Fire said with a face full of disbelief too.
The 12 Ex
alts all harbored very high hopes for the Dragon Sovereign Territory. Otherwise, even if they sent people inside, it was also not possible to keep on waiting outside.
One had to know that this Heavenly Slaughter Pit was only opened for half a year. Every minute every second was incomparably precious.
With this waiting time, they would have long gone to other places to search for treasures.
"The Dragon Sovereign Territory collapsing, something incredible must have happened inside. I wonder, perhaps … our slaughter generals will be in some danger," Exalt Netherkill slowly said.
Hearing this, the faces of the group of Exalts were all hideous.
Especially Si Yin. She bit her lips lightly, her face revealing a look of despair.
If she lost Ye Yuan, then this trip could virtually be said to be in vain. With this, the disparity between her and the other Exalts would get increasingly greater.
But Exalt Coldblood took this sight entirely into his eyes and said with a light smile, "Why, Younger Sister Si Yin seems to be very concerned about your slaughter generals. Could it be that … you took a liking to that pretty boy?"
Si Yin was startled inwardly, but her expression turned cold, and she said, "Do you think that everyone is as cold-blooded as you are?"
Coldblood took no notice of it and still smiled lightly as he said, "Heh, ten years ago, Young Sister Si Yin moved on your own, but obtained quite a number of good stuff. At present, this Dragon Sovereign Territory can be considered thoroughly done for already. But everyone has gotten nothing. Since Younger Sister Si Yin knows of a treasure land, can you bring everybody there together?"
The moment these words came out, the other Exalts all involuntarily looked towards Si Yin.
Entering the Heavenly Slaughter Pit the last time, apart from the two Exalts who perished, the benefits that the other Exalts obtained were not many. While the one with the greatest harvests were undoubtedly Blazing Fire and Si Yin, these two people.
Blazing Fire obtained benefits inside this Dragon Sovereign Territory. But where Si Yin went to had always been a mystery.
If everyone obtained benefits at the Dragon Sovereign Territory this time, there naturally would not be anyone who would turn their focus onto Si Yin.
