Long Chen not only heard Ziyan's zither music but also sensed fierce battle sounds from elsewhere.
"Ignore them. They're locked in fierce battle with vengeful spirits. Let's bypass and head straight for the core of the dragon's nest." Longgu Xie Yue said.
Long Chen had no choice but to suppress the urge to reunite with Ziyan and dashed off following the directions of the Dragonbone Evil Moon. This was a void, and in the core area, a circular honeycomb-like object had appeared.
According to Dragon Bone Evil Moon, this was the core area of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. As soon as he approached the core, the essence blood inside Long Chen trembled and began to flow rapidly, showing signs of boiling.
"This is the dragon blood flowing within you, which resonates with the Dragon King power here. I just don't know if the Dragon King here is a true dragon." Dragonbone Xie Yue transmitted his voice.
"Buzz!"
Entering the core of the dragon's nest, a passage forged from white bones appeared with dragon-shaped patterns. These dragon patterns weren't painted on the surface, but rather dragon souls embedded within, radiating terrifying dragon might.
After the dragons inside the Nest die, their flesh and souls return to the nest. This is a form of nourishment, so the nest grows stronger and stronger.
The dragon might in the core area was terrifying, especially since Long Chen possessed dragon blood, making his senses even stronger. The blood inside him was almost on fire. If Long Chen hadn't deliberately suppressed it, Long Chen's Azure Dragon Battle Body would have appeared long ago.
"It seems the Dragon King inside the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest is not welcoming me." Long Chen said.
"The Dragon Clan is too vast, and the True Dragon Clan is the royal family among dragons, extremely rare.
However, dragons are innately rebellious. Even between biological fathers and sons, a decisive battle will erupt. Deep down, dragons have a bloodline of war—whoever is stronger, they must fight, regardless of bloodline.
The main thing is that the essence blood in your body is that of a newly grown true dragon—just a blue dragon.
It's like you're a fallen prince—though you have royal blood, your strength is too weak to command a high-ranking official. The Dragon King here certainly won't submit to you, because you're too weak.
So it's better to take it one step at a time. Once you reach the core, you'll know which race the Dragon King belongs to. "Dragon Bone Xie Yue comforted her.
Long Chen sped along the bone passage, countless dragon patterns appearing. In his mind, countless roars of furious dragons appeared. His blood and energy surged, and he felt an urge to blow the dragon's nest apart with a single punch.
Unconsciously, Long Chen's anger kept rising. Perhaps it was the suppression of the dragon blood that affected his mood. He struggled to control himself and sped forward.
"Whoosh"
Suddenly, they reached the end of the passage ahead. At the end of the passage, nine giant dragon skeletons stretching tens of thousands of miles could be seen, their massive mouths wide and aimed at a sphere as large as a star.
Only then did Long Chen realize he was standing in the eye sockets of a giant dragon. It turned out he had been flying inside the dragon's body for so long.
"So it's the Divine Bone Spirit Dragon clan. No wonder the aura of violence isn't so strong." Upon arriving here, Dragon Bone Xie Yue suddenly understood.
"What is the Divine Bone Spirit Dragon? How come I've never heard of it? Long Chen asked.
"Spirit Dragons are another major branch of the dragon race. The Divine Bone Spirit Dragon is the most intelligent of the Spirit Dragon clan. They are very intelligent, but their combat power is not particularly strong.
However, they possess a magical ability to nurture divine bones. The core of this Ten Thousand Dragon Nest must be four divine bones. If they could obtain them, they would be truly successful... said Dragon Bone Xie Yue.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the dragon bone beneath Long Chen's feet lit up. Long Chen was startled, but the bone flashed briefly before disappearing without a trace.
Long Chen was startled, running up from the eye socket to the top of the dragon's head, where he suddenly saw a figure.
"Hu Feng?" What Long Chen didn't expect was that the person was none other than Hu Feng, who looked like a scholar.
Hu Feng was overjoyed when he saw Long Chen: "Haha, it seems my prediction was right. Brother Long, you are my destined benefactor." "
What are you doing... Long
Chen noticed that the huge dice behind Hu Feng had disappeared from the vision, and now appeared in his hand, as if he was doing something.
"Brother Long, to be honest, my Destiny Dice has been injured before and has never been repaired.
I need to find the Bone of Destiny and absorb its energy to repair the Destiny Dice. Only the Divine Bone Spirit Dragon can be born from the Bone of Destiny.
Of these nine divine bone spirit dragons, only one is born with the Destiny Divine Bone, which is exactly what I need.
But even after using dozens of dragon blood I usually collect, I still couldn't communicate with it. Brother Long, I know you possess true dragon essence blood. If this essence blood is used as a medium, it can definitely connect the Destiny Dice and the Divine Bone.
I had held onto a sliver of hope. If the dragon blood I prepared myself could be done, I wouldn't trouble you, Brother Long. But ..." Hu Feng said a bit embarrassed, clearly going to trouble Long Chen.
Hu Feng had a refined appearance, and every gesture carried the aura of a scholar. However, he was naturally proud and had never asked for help before. This was his first time asking for help, and he felt a bit embarrassed.
"It's just a bit of essence blood, and it doesn't harm the origin. Brother Hu, you're being too polite. If you were that polite, I'd be embarrassed to call you in a fight next time." Long Chen chuckled.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen flicked his finger, and a drop of essence blood flew out, landing in the core of a pattern beneath Hu Feng's feet. Long Chen still recognized that formation.
"Buzz."
When Long Chen's essence blood dripped into the pattern, the massive dragon head slowly lit up. But after a flash of light, it stopped moving.
Long Chen knew this meant his essence blood was still insufficient to awaken its energy. He flicked three drops in a row, and sure enough, the dragon's head began to grow brighter, with countless runes lighting up along with it.
Long Chen flicked out more than thirty drops of essence blood in succession. Hu Feng immediately felt a bit embarrassed. He hadn't expected the Divine Bone Spirit Dragon to be so terrifying, requiring so much essence blood. If he consumed too much, Long Chen would be affected, which was fatal in a place like this.
Just as Hu Feng was about to speak, Long Chen waved his hand: "You can't give up halfway. I think it's almost time." "
Long Chen flicked out another eighteen drops of essence blood in succession. The dragon's head trembled violently, and from the pattern, a divine light slowly emerged.
That divine light was incredibly holy, calming the mind just by looking at it. Hu Feng placed the Destiny Dice inside. The Dice seemed to be bathed in sunlight, slowly spinning, and streams of divine light descended, automatically evolving into the Heavenly Dao.
"Brother Long, I need no words to thank you for such a great favor. If you have any instructions in the future, just say the word." Hu Feng cupped his fists and said solemnly.
"That's enough for you to say. Next time there's a fight, just remember to show your support."
Long Chen laughed heartily. Seeing that Hu Feng had already taken care of it, he didn't waste any more time, jumped off the dragon's head, and shot toward the core ball ahead.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen leapt into the core sphere, but a strange world appeared before him—a boundless desert.
At the heart of the desert, a giant dragon coiled atop an altar, radiating waves of dragon energyAuthority.
"Dead,"
Dragonbone Xie Yue sighed, clearly unable to sense any sign of life from this giant dragon.
Long Chen flew up to the dragon and found it truly lifeless, but the divine radiance still lingered on its scales.
"It probably isn't dead yet. Maybe there's a chance it could be revived." Long Chen said.
"It's useless. His Dragon Crystal flame has already begun to die out. We're still a step too late."
If it were still alive, with its wisdom, it would surely give us all its strength.
Now it's no longer possible. We have to seize it ourselves. The body of this Divine Bone Spirit Dragon has exhausted all its strength to resist external forces, rendering it useless.
I want to go to the source of the Dragon Nest beneath the altar to absorb power. On one hand, I will strengthen myself; on the other, I will see if I can break through Yun Shang's seal, break free from the limitations of your cultivation, and truly unleash my strength.
At the four corners of this altar are four primordial divine bones, belonging to earth, water, fire, and wind. They are the fundamental forces for the formation of heaven and earth and the foundation of the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
That's a supreme treasure. If you humans want to become emperors, you must possess the union of spiritual root, spiritual blood, and spiritual bone.
And these four divine bones are the strongest divine artifacts for condensing spiritual bones. Now you understand how important they are, right? "Dragon Bone Xie Yue said.
Long Chen's heart trembled violently. Everyone has spiritual roots and spiritual blood, but the different grades have caused a huge difference in talent between people.
Spiritual bones, on the other hand, belong only to legend. It should be known that human spiritual roots and spiritual blood can be innately inherited or developed, but spiritual bones are only born innately; I've never heard of them being grafted through acquired means.
But Dragon Bone Xie Yue said that these four primal divine bones could produce spiritual bones, which was truly a heaven-defying treasure.
"But the Dragon King is dead, and both the Divine Bone and the Ten Thousand Dragon Blood Pool are protected by the laws here. I don't know exactly how to seize them.
Time was running out, so I hurried to absorb the Dragon Source. The Dragon King was dead, and the Dragon Source began to wither rapidly. If I didn't absorb it now, it would disappear. "
Whoosh!"
The Dragonbone Evil Moon transformed into a streak of black light, piercing straight into the ground and disappearing. No one knew how it used to absorb that dragon source.
Long Chen flew to the altar and found that at its four corners were four round high platforms, each holding four palm-sized bones.
The bone was lustrous as jade, with divine light flowing. Through the radiance, one could see a rune enveloped within the bone.
"This rune..."
When Long Chen saw one of the runes, his heart suddenly trembled. He recognized that rune—it was the flame rune he had obtained back on the Eternal Road. Based on its principles, Long Chen had created the World-Destroying Fire Lotus himself.
Although the Fire Lotus was successfully created, Long Chen still hadn't fully studied the secret of this rune. It turned out that this rune was actually one of the original runes of the four great elements—earth, water, fire, and wind. Rumor had it that these were the earliest four powers to appear in the world, and also the foundation of the world.
Long Chen slowly approached the round platform, and suddenly a light flashed on it. Immediately after, the roar of an angry dragon echoed. Long Chen felt a vast power surge, and in an instant, he was sent flying backward.
"Boom!"
Long Chen was blasted far away by the force, crashing into the ground and kicking up thousands of feet of dust. Looking again, he saw that divine light was shining simultaneously on the four round platforms.
"These four divine platforms are actually interconnected." Long Chen's heart tightened. Although he only knew the basics of formations, he could still spot a clue.
Long Chen's expression grew serious. He remembered Xia Chen saying that this type of formation must be broken from four directions simultaneously. There was no other way, and he clearly couldn't do it alone.
"Let's go see the Ten Thousand Dragons Blood Pool first," Long Chen cautiously approached the altar, arriving beneath the giant dragon. At the spot where the reverse scale was, there was an entrance. The Dragonbone Evil Moon had already told it that this was the location of the Ten Thousand Dragons Blood Pool, located within the Dragon King's body.
Long Chen had just slipped under the reverse scale, but before he could find the entrance, the void suddenly trembled continuously, and two figures appeared out loud.
"It's Feng Fei,"
Long Chen was slightly startled. He peeked out from beneath the dragon's belly and recognized the woman inside, dressed in luxurious clothes and as proud as a phoenix.
