Chapter 706 - Dragon G.o.d Appears
Zhan Fengting’s expression was inscrutable. He stared at Yan Tianhen for a moment and said, “Wait a moment.”
Then Yan Tianhen saw Zhan Fengting waving his sleeve and slaughtering his way through to Lin Xuanzhi’s side.
Yan Tianhen, “…”
f.u.c.k, am I really so unreliable? Yan Tianhen felt insulted.
Lin Xuanzhi exchanged gazes with Yan Tianhen in mid-air, then turned his gaze away.
A moment later, Zhan Fengting came back, then narrowed his eyes and told Yan Tianhen, “Huarong agreed. Let’s go now.”
Yan Tianhen pouted and muttered, “Why on earth did you have to ask my Dage’s opinion?”
Zhan Fengting transformed into a dragon and wrapped his tail around Yan Tianhen, lifting him up and throwing Yan Tianhen onto his back. A dragon roar sounded.
Yan Tianhen heard him laugh in a low voice, “We’re about to break into the dragon’s pool and the tiger’s den after all, so I always have to notify your family.”
Lord Yuxu raised his eyes, and suddenly a cold light shone from his pupils. He cut his palm and allowed the blood to drip onto the yellow sand. Hundreds of evil spirits suddenly roared. They quickly gathered together at a speed visible to the naked eye and fused into a humanoid monster at least a hundred meters tall!
That monster ran with its huge feet, and even the earth seemed to tremble with every step. It accelerated for a moment and suddenly jumped. Just when it was about to grab the white dragon’s tail–
Whoos.h.!.+
A sharp silver-blue sword light broke through the air and cut off that giant hand at the shoulder.
Everyone then saw Fu Li amidst the raging sandstorm, holding a tiger cub in his arm while his finger pressed on the other tiger cub’s forehead.
“Go on, bite him.” Fu Li pointed towards that monster, looking like he was talking idly about important matters.
Hu Po received the order and also received a drop of blood from Fu Li; he seemed like he had just eaten a demonic delight fruit. He immediately roared and shot off like an arrow towards that giant monster.
Hu Po’s body became bigger with every step. When he finally ran to that evil spirit, Hu Po was already half of its size. Hu Po and the monster started fighting, while the whhite dragon and Yan Tianhen took the opportunity to fly quickly towards the Dragon G.o.d’s resting ground.
Yan Tianhen sat on the dragon’s head, both his hands gripping the dragon horn tightly. Although he didn’t attack, he still saw Hu Po’s explosive power from the sky. He couldn’t help feeling astonished. “That tiger clan’s Fu Li actually has such an ability?”
Zhan Fengting broke through the clouds and quickly pulled his body off the ground. He tried to find a way out in this sandstorm.
Zhan Fengting explained, “The beast clan’s inheritance may be a different approach, but it will still yield the same result as our dragon clan’s inheritance. They’re all very powerful. Sometimes merely a drop of blood or some urine would be enough to strengthen descendants.”
Yan Tianhen, “…”
I understand a drop of blood, but what’s this about some urine?
The gales tore at them, and Yan Tianhen could hardly open his eyes.
Now he completely understood what the phrase “soaring dragon and leaping tiger” meant. Dragons were extremely fast.
Back when he was still the Demon Emperor who dual-cultivated demonic and evil Qi, he once competed in a contest of speed with the Dragon Emperor. At that time, he naturally lost, but he had never sat on the Dragon Emperor’s back and experienced that speed for himself.
At this moment, Yan Tianhen made up for all the regrets he had back then. However, he vowed that he never wanted to experience this again.
About an hour later, Zhan Fengting’s speed finally slowed down.
Zhan Fengting said, “Ancestor’s place of slumber is ahead.”
Yan Tianhen opened his eyes and saw red and brown in front of him. It looked like a sea of clouds at sunset, but when he looked carefully, he found that the sky was actually covered with purple cracks, and many wisps of black Qi were coming out from it.
Just below the sky and above the ground, it seemed like something was preventing the black Qi from sinking. When the black Qi sank to a certain height, it would disappear.
Although it was called a Dragon Tomb, it was actually a little desolate.
Looking around, there was red land below them, surrounded by low hills. There were also small streams that circled around the place like jade belts. The dragon clan likes water, but the Dragon Emperor didn’t even make his burial ground inside the ice lake. In sum, the Dragon Emperor also made a pretty big sacrifice.
Every once in a while, there would be a dragon skeleton on the ground. Some of the dragon bones were dark blue, some were ice blue, and others were even reddish. Their shapes were also different. Some were longer, some were shorter, some were wider, and others were narrower.
However, they all had one thing in common–
None of these skeletons had dragon horns.
Zhan Fengting turned into a human and landed on the edge of the Dragon Tomb together with Yan Tianhen.
Looking down from the air, one would be able to see the tremendous might of these dragon skeletons. After taking a closer look, it would make people feel submission and wors.h.i.+p from the bottom of their hearts.
Unlike the human race, which needed to erect a monument to remember someone after death, the dragon clan and even the vast majority of the beast clans believed in a sky burial. They considered themselves as originating from between Heaven and Earth, and they gained sentience from being enlightened by Heaven and Earth. In the end, their corpses will return to the mother’s body — Heaven and Earth.
Yan Tianhen said, “When I first came to the Dragon Tomb, there weren’t so many skeletons here. It really has been ten thousand year; it’s been so long that the blue seas have turned into mulberry fields.”
Zhan Fengting looked at Yan Tianhen. “So s.h.i.+di actually came here ten thousand years ago.”
Smart people will always be smart.
Yan Tianhen smiled. “Ten thousand years ago, I could be considered old acquaintances with this Longyao family’s old ancestor.”
Although Zhan Fengting’s heart was extremely flabbergasted, he also felt that this was how it should be. “The ‘old acquaintance’ that you mentioned — just what kind of old acquaintance were the two of you?”
“He lost to me, but he never accepted that. Finally, I skinned him, and only then was he subdued.”
Yan Tianhen finished, then realized that he seemed to have said something disastrous inside the Dragon Tomb. In order to prevent being ganged up on by these dragon skeletons who could be faking their deaths, he immediately changed the topic, “Speaking of which, where exactly was Longyao buried? This burial ground is a little too extravagant. It covers such a large area that I might not even find him until next year.”
Zhan Fengting pointed to an undulating mountain range up ahead. “That is what our Ancestor’s bones transformed into.”
Yan Tianhen narrowed his eyes and glanced at it, then immediately said, “Impossible.”
“…And why is that?”
“Only great powers who reach the Sky Realm can transform into mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars upon death. But although Longyao was Sky Realm as soon as he was born, when he was dying, his cultivation was already almost gone — used to seal up these millions of evil spirits — so it’s impossible for him to transform into a mountain.”
Zhan Fengting stared in stunned silence.
When he came to the Dragon Tomb Holy Land before and met the Dragon G.o.d, the voice he heard always seemed to come from this winding and undulating mountain range that looked like a coiled dragon. But Yan Tianhen’s words……
“Longyao, your old acquaintance has arrived. Why don’t you come out and meet him?” After searching for the soul consciousness and still not finding it, Yan Tianhen simply stood aside and spoke to the front.
A breeze swept past them. n.o.body answered.
……
……
Zhan Fengting rubbed his nose and felt a trace of embarra.s.sment.
Yan Tianhen gave a Hmph, then raised his voice, “If you still refuse to come out, then I’ll leave. After I leave, see if those descendants of yours will survive being trampled into pulp by these evil spirits inside the evil spirit array!”
“They are not my descendants.” A voice came from a distant direction. “I didn’t even have a wife when I died. How can I have descendants?”
When Zhan Fengting heard this voice, he immediately knelt on one knee. “Ancestor.”
Although he didn’t have good feelings for many people in the Longyao clan, he held great respect for his ancestor.
“Why are you seizing my heir? If you want anything, just come at me.” That Dragon G.o.d said, “This Venerable isn’t afraid of you!”
Yan Tianhen became amused when he heard that. “Since you’re not afraid of me, why don’t you show yourself and meet me in person?”
The Dragon G.o.d’s voice was drawn out. “If this Venerable comes out to meet you at your order, then wouldn’t this Venerable lose too much face?”
Yan Tianhen, “…”
The Dragon G.o.d continued, “What’s more, I’m not familiar with the aura on your body. Looking at you, you’re nothing more than a brat who isn’t even a hundred years old. The person this Venerable wants to meet is an old acquaintance. Where did a fake like you come from?”
Yan Tianhen asked, “Longyao, do you still remember that you once peeped at a bird clan woman when she was bathing, but was discovered by the big white goose the girl kept and chased all over the mountain?”
“……”
“Do you still remember that because a pa.s.ser-by stepped on your tail while you were sleeping soundly during winter hibernation, you suddenly woke up and flew into a rage, wanting to swallow that person in revenge, but the other party beat you till you almost became a one-eyed dragon?”
“……”
Zhan Fengting wiped some cold sweat silently.
There was still no response over there.
So Yan Tianhen brought out the big moves.
“Do you still remember that you originally wanted to marry the South Sovereign Shuiyun Tianying’s younger sister, Shuiyun Luo, but when you lifted up the wedding veil, you found that the other party had turned into Shuiyun Tianying?”
“You can shut up now!” A furious roar shook the earth.
“You can’t hit someone’s face when beating them, and you can’t expose someone’s shortcomings when you expose them. How come even after so many years, a b.a.s.t.a.r.d like you still hasn’t made any progress? You’re so annoying whether you open your mouth or not. You don’t leave people with any face at all!” A man in dazzling golden clothes descended from the sky, and a pair of similarly golden eyes looked so angry that they were about to emit sparks.
Although he seemed to have a hot temper, his appearance was top-notch. His silver hair fell down smoothly like moonlight. He also wore a simple golden gem in front of his forehead, which was even in the shape of a conch.
The only difference between him and human beings was that there were two dragon horns as cute as deer antlers on his forehead.
Zhan Fengting stared at the man blankly.
He had been to the Dragon Tomb many times and also had direct contact with the Dragon G.o.d several times, but he never knew that the Dragon G.o.d could actually turn into a human, and a good-looking one at that.
Yan Tianhen grinned. “I naturally dare not expose other people’s shortcomings, but who let us have a good relations.h.i.+p?”
The Dragon G.o.d smiled a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “I’ve never had anything to say to a b.a.s.t.a.r.d like you who killed his master, wrecked the mortal realm, harmed the common people, and didn’t even let off your own s.h.i.+xiong. How can we possibly have a good relations.h.i.+p?”
Yan Tianhen tutted. “You’re already a dead dragon, but your words still lack any virtues. Aren’t you afraid of being struck by Heaven’s lightning and having your soul scattered?”
Zhan Fengting, …I can only smile bitterly.
In any case, I won’t help either side. It’s enough to let them resolve their personal grievances by themselves.
The Dragon G.o.d narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous glint shone from his eyes.
He stared at Yan Tianhen for a long time, then suddenly asked, “Didn’t you die without even leaving ashes behind? How come you’ve reincarnated again? Could it be that even demons can reincarnate?”
Yan Tianhen said calmly, “Dao Zu gave me the Reincarnation Pill. When I took the pill, I gained half of a soul.”
