After leaving the White Dragon Clan's Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, Long Chen didn't head in the direction of the Imperial Clan's Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. Instead, he turned left and went to another Wanlong Nest.
By interrogating the powerful member of the Nether Dragon clan, Long Chen learned that the Ten Thousand Dragon Nests of the Nether Dragon Clan were seventeen nests away from the White Dragon Clan.
At the same time, Long Chen roughly understood the terrain of the Dragon Tomb. It turned out the Dragon Tomb was like a super Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, composed of tens of thousands of Ten Thousand Dragon Nests.
The Dragon Tomb, also known as the place where dragons are buried, has already exhausted its source power and become a dead nest in the surrounding area.
But the Wanlong Nests in the core area are all alive. In the very core area, there are ninety-nine Wanlong Nests, all of which are the backbone of the dragon clan, powerful and powerful.
These ninety-nine Myriad Dragon Nests include the White Dragon Clan and the Nether Dragon Clan. Each nest encircles a massive Wanlong Nest—the Imperial Clan's Myriad Dragon Nest.
However, for countless years, very few people have entered the Imperial Clan's Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. It is said that those who cannot subdue the ancestral scales cannot enter the nest. If one tries to force their way in, they will be destroyed by the nest's laws.
Therefore, the Imperial Clan's Ten Thousand Dragon Nest was currently empty. Everyone was communicating with their own ancestor Lin, and no one had gone there. So Long Chen wasn't in a hurry. After all, every Ten Thousand Dragon Nest led to the Imperial Clan's Myriad Cavities, so Long Chen would just take a detour and take a look.
As Long Chen sped along the way, passing through one Ten Thousand Dragon Nests after another, he found that some of the ancestral scales had already been awakened, while others were still asleep.
As Long Chen passed by these Ten Thousand Dragon Nests, he immediately aroused the vigilance and rejection of the local experts. Some dragon clan experts even refused to let Long Chen pass through, only to be sent flying by a single slap.
Because the top experts of all major clans were striving to awaken the ancestral scales, they had no time to get entangled with Long Chen. Some weaker ones, unable to defeat Long Chen and unwilling to suffer losses, could only let him pass.
Soon, black mist swirled before his eyes, and the aura of the underworld surged in. Long Chen realized that this Ten Thousand Dragon Nest before him was indeed the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest of the Nether Dragon clan.
Long Chen didn't hesitate at all, swaggering inside. Unlike other Wanlong Nests, black mist swirled here, making it impossible to see far, and everything was shrouded in mist.
When Long Chen arrived at the core area of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, he was shocked to find the entire hall packed with countless powerful members of the Nether Dragon clan.
Here, the Underworld Dragon clan members numbered in the millions at least. These Dark Dragon clan experts sat on the ground, their vital energy and blood circulating around them. Rays of divine light could be seen rising from these people, flowing straight toward the central area.
When Long Chen arrived, these people turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye, focusing wholeheartedly on concentrating their vital energy and blood.
When Long Chen approached the group, he noticed that in the core area of the hall, a massive black dragon scale was floating in the void.
The black dragon scales radiated endless divine might, their fierce aura rushing toward them. Arriving here, it was as if one could hear the roar of a giant dragon, traveling through distant time and space, making one's soul tremble.
The black dragon scales absorbed the blood energy of all the Dark Dragon clan powerhouses present. Countless runes lit up on its body, and wisps of mist began to appear on its scales.
The mist gathered together, forming a black, viscous liquid that slowly dripped down along the dragon scales. Beneath the scales, a black-haired man was sitting cross-legged.
The black liquid dripped onto his body, rippling and stirring. Runes began to glow on his body, and a dragon head pattern appeared on his forehead. Behind his head, nine stars flickered and flickered.
"Nether Dragon Amaterasum"
When Long Chen saw the man, he was shocked. That man was none other than Nether Dragon Amaterasu who had nearly died at Long Chen's hands back then.
At this moment, the Dark Dragon Amaterasu had nine stars flickering behind his head. His aura was completely different from before, as if he had become a different person.
"Is this guy about to awaken a Nine-Star Destiny User?"
Seeing the stars behind Minglong Tianzhao's head, Long Chen himself was startled. Now, Minglong Tianzhao was soaring with vitality and imbued with supreme divine might—a pressure that surpassed all living beings.
"This is ... The aura of the Nether Emperor..."
Long Chen suddenly understood. This guy had once sacrificed himself to the Nether Emperor, and this guy had turned misfortune into a blessing, actually receiving the power of the Nether Emperor.
Watching the divine liquid slowly drip onto his dragon scales and be absorbed, Long Chen knew this guy must have reached this point so quickly thanks to the power of the Nether Emperor. Clearly, he had already begun subduing the ancestral scales and was almost succeeding.
"No, we have to stop him."
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. At this moment, the Nether Dragon Amitomori was already empowered by the power of the Nether Emperor. If he subdued Zu Lin again, who in the world could possibly restrain him?
Long Chen didn't hide his aura either; he headed straight for Zu Lin. All the experts present closed their eyes, and no one noticed him.
When Long Chen approached the ancestral scale, the divine might trembled on it. At that moment, his heart tightened—the ancestral scale had already sensed his killing intent. Now trouble was brewing.
If Long Chen forced his way in, Zu Lin would definitely be alert. Obviously, Zu Lin was currently merging with Minglong Tianzhao, and they were in league, making it impossible to ambush him.
"Forget it... Long
Chen gritted his teeth, gave up on killing the Nether Dragon Amaterasu, and walked over. When Long Chen started moving again, the ancestral scale indeed showed no movement.
Long Chen knew that the ancestral scale of the White Dragon clan had helped him activate his primal bloodline, and the ancestral scale of the Nether Dragon clan didn't seem to reject him either.
However, he had previously harbored murderous intent toward Minglong Tianzhao, so the ancestral scale of the Minglong clan naturally wouldn't allow Long Chen to kill Minglong Tianzhao, so he sensed that if Long Chen continued to harbor murderous intent, it might attack Long Chen or even awaken Minglong Tianzhao.
After Long Chen put away his murderous intent, he could openly walk toward the Nether Dragon Amaterasu. As Long Chen drew closer to the Nether Dragon Amaterasu, the number of powerful figures nearby dwindled, but their strength also grew stronger.
What shocked Long Chen was that, around the Dark Dragon Tianzhao, there were dozens of Seven-Star Destiny Practitioners.
With so many powerful beings protecting him, it was no wonder he dared to so brazenly absorb the power of the ancestral scales, showing no regard for anyone else.
As Long Chen passed by a powerful figure, the expert suddenly opened his eyes. Clearly, this person was extremely alert; even in a meditative state, he still sensed Long Chen.
The powerful figure saw Long Chen, both shocked and furious. He reached out and pressed down on his weapon, a chilling killing intent enveloping Long Chen.
Faced with the man's murderous intent, Long Chen showed no sign of nervousness. He waved his hand at the man to show he meant no harm, made a gesture to be silent, and pointed at the Nether Dragon Amiterasu, signaling not to disturb him.
The Dark Dragon clan expert showed a puzzled expression, though his eyes were full of caution. However, he dared not act rashly, because at this critical moment, the Dark Dragon Tianzhao was at a critical moment; any disturbance could disrupt his fusion.
For a moment, Long Chen didn't move, nor did the powerful member of the Dark Dragon clan. Long Chen made a few hand gestures to the powerful member of the Dark Dragon clan, implying he was here to help your master, with no ill intent.
Then he walked toward Minglong Tianzhao. The awakened Minglong clan expert was both shocked and furious, but he didn't dare make a move, let alone speak rashly. He could only gesture for Long Chen to hurry back or kill him.
But Long Chen was not at allIgnoring him, she walked up to Minglong Tianzhao, raised one hand high, and under the terrified gaze of the Minglong clan expert, slapped Minglong Tianzhao hard across the face:
"Wake up, don't sleep!"
With a loud "snap
," the sound echoed throughout the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
