Chapter 465: Chapter 353 The True Dragon Emperor_2
“`
“What!” Wushuang was greatly shocked and lost her composure. For so many years, she had always believed that her father, the emperor, was in secluded cultivation, which was why she handed over the affairs of Dragon Island to the First Elder.
“`
“`
Sometimes Wushuang also wondered if her father might have been secretly harmed by the First Elder, which was why he hadn’t appeared for hundreds of thousands of years, but there was no evidence.
“`
“`
Ao Wuzhan patted Wushuang’s head and smiled, “Don’t be nervous. The emperor is just trapped, and only I and the First Elder know about this. You are the third one.”
“`
“`
He paused and then continued, “When the emperor was trapped years ago, I consulted with the First Elder. He handled the clan’s affairs, while I secretly sought a powerful Array Divine Master. Unfortunately, after so many years, I haven’t found a suitable one.”
“`
“`
“Big brother, there should be seventh-level Array Divine Masters in the Divine World, right? Aren’t they capable?” Wushuang asked.
“`
“`
Ao Wuzhan nodded, his eyes flashing with disdain, “Seventh-level Array Divine Masters do exist, but to be honest, they’re all lackluster compared to Li Cheng—they fall far short!”
“`
“`
Wushuang’s eyebrows rose, “Li Cheng is that powerful… It’s amazing how he did it. His Alchemy Dao and Artifact Refining are already astonishing. It was because of this that the Evil Demons were disturbed, and Elder Ao Cang left Dragon Island…”
“`
“`
“You’re getting off track, little sister. The urgent matter at hand is to find a way to ask Li Cheng to break the formation,” Ao Wuzhan interrupted Wushuang’s words, continuing, “The ancestral ground is where the Divine Dragons of the Dragon Clan from all of history are buried, having reached the Divine Emperor’s Realm. Over countless years, it has become fraught with innumerable dangers. The longer the emperor stays inside, the more dangerous it becomes.”
“`
“`
Wushuang nodded, “I’ll go ask him right away.”
“`
“`
Ao Wuzhan shook his head, “No, it’s not the right time yet.”
“`
“`
Wushuang was confused again. She just heard that the sooner, the better, so why then was it not the right time?
“`
“`
Faced with Wushuang’s confusion, Ao Wuzhan simply smiled without a word.
“`
“`
Li Cheng wandered around for a few days, having visited every corner of Wangchuan Island and then returned to the grand hall. Bored, he entered the Divine World again.
“`
“`
Within the Divine World, the World Divine Tree had already grown ten zhang tall. The Secret Land taken from the Outer Great Wall was also stored in the Divine World, currently floating overhead.
“`
“`
Yun Fuxue had said before, informed by the Divine Elimination Plant, that there were over a hundred eight-level Divine Medicines and a few nine-level ones within this Secret Land. Now with nothing else to do, he might as well have a look!
“`
“`
No sooner had this thought crossed his mind than a heart-palpitating fluctuation suddenly transmitted from the distance!
“`
“`
Li Cheng turned abruptly, “This is… Uncle Master Dragon Emperor breaking through to Divine Emperor!”
“`
“`
Without any hesitation, Li Cheng quickly released the Dragon Emperor from the Divine World.
“`
“`
The Dragon Emperor was about to step into the Divine Emperor’s Realm; certainly, his own Divine World wouldn’t be able to withstand the fluctuations of his breakthrough.
“`
“`
As soon as the Dragon Emperor appeared on Wangchuan Island, the entire island trembled uncontrollably. Countless Heaven and Earth Divine Qi swept in from all directions, and the Heaven and Earth Laws became exceedingly active.
“`
“`
It wasn’t just Wangchuan Island affected; even far away at the Confucian Sect, a group of Divine Emperors rose into the air and gazed in the direction of Dragon Island.
“`
“`
At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Laws of the entire Divine World became active. Auspicious clouds surged across the sky, the spectacle far surpassing the time Li Cheng had entered the Divine Venerable Realm.
“`
“`
“The power of the dragon is pervasive. The Dragon Clan has gained another Divine Emperor. Just don’t know who it is,” Grand Venerable Bai Jie said.
“`
“`
“It’s generally good news for there to be one more Divine Emperor in the Divine Realm, but the Monster Race hasn’t sent anyone to the Outer Great Wall, so now it’s truly hard to say whether this is fortune or disaster,” an elder said.
“`
“`
Hua Tianji calculated with his fingers, and chuckled, “It’s related to our junior brother! Great auspiciousness!”
“`
“`
Hearing this, everyone looked to Hua Tianji. There was naturally no need to doubt his words.
“`
“`
“If it is indeed a good thing, then I will go and ask the master if we should go and offer congratulations,” Grand Venerable Bai Jie said.
“`
“`
Hua Tianji shook his head, “With our junior brother there, there’s no need for Eighth Brother to trouble himself going to Dragon Island. Rest assured, he will bring the person you’re looking for.”
“`
“`
He knew that Grand Venerable Bai Jie wanted to go to Dragon Island chiefly for the sake of a Divine Dragon mount.
“`
“`
Grand Venerable Bai Jie shrugged his shoulders and coughed dryly, remaining silent.
“`
“`
On Dragon Island, the Dragon Clan’s elders and princes all appeared, staring in the direction of Wangchuan Island.
“`
“`
The Fourth Prince’s brow furrowed, “Such a powerful aura of bloodline pressure. Who is breaking through on my Wangchuan Island?”
“`
“Such a bloodline oppression, even my elder brother and the Emperor have never possessed, right? How odd!”
Muttering to himself, the Fourth Prince pondered briefly before flying toward Wangchuan Island.
It wasn’t just the Fourth Prince rushing to Wangchuan Island; those Elders and other princes were also on their way.
With the Dragon Clan celebrating the emergence of a new Divine Emperor, it was a momentous occasion for the entire Monster Race. As high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan, they naturally rushed to the scene, curious to see who had made the breakthrough.
The aura was unfamiliar to them all, but the bloodline pressure was terrifyingly strong!
As they drew nearer to Wangchuan Island, the high-ranking members began to find flying more difficult. It was as if in the presence of the newly ascended Divine Dragon, they were unworthy even to fly.
Moreover, everyone could feel that as the distance closed, it became increasingly hard to maintain their human forms under the invisible pressure of the bloodline, forcing them to reveal their dragonic forms.
The First Elder’s eyes widened, “Devouring Ancient Dragon!”
“Damn it! Li Cheng actually passed the bloodline inheritance to someone about to break through to a Divine Dragon!”
By now, the First Elder had no doubts. Li Cheng had likely given out the bloodline inheritance long ago, and the so-called three conditions… he had been duped, played for a fool!
But then he thought, Li Cheng hadn’t really fooled anyone; indeed, as agreed, he had granted the bloodline inheritance to the Dragon Clan, to the person he had specified!
With furrowed brows, the First Elder gritted his teeth and hastened toward Wangchuan Island.
On the island, both the Fourth Prince, Ao Wuzhan, and the Princess, Ao Wushuang, had revealed their true forms. Their dragon bodies, compressed to a hundred zhang in size, stared in amazement at the standing figure of Dragon Emperor Ao Cang not far away.
Ao Cang stood in midair, with his hands slightly raised and his head upturned, eyes closed as if he were receiving a baptism from heaven and earth.
Before long, the Dragon Emperor manifested his true body, a hundred thousand li colossal dragon hovering above Wangchuan Island. The terrifying dragon might caused the island to tremble violently, and even with Li Cheng’s formation, the entire island was starting to break apart, resembling an apocalyptic scene.
Ao Wuzhan’s eyes gleamed with joy, “This is the opportunity I spoke of, the Devouring Ancient Dragon has appeared in this world!”
Wushuang glanced at Ao Wuzhan and then turned her gaze to the Dragon Emperor, “So Ao Cang, the elder, has received the bloodline inheritance of the Devouring Ancient Dragon, transforming into the second Devouring Ancient Dragon in the Dragon Clan’s history. No wonder Li Cheng said he couldn’t give it to me, it turns out he had already given it to elder Ao Cang.”
Ao Wuzhan’s joy intensified, “It is said that Ao Cang was known as the Dragon Emperor in the Lower World. From today onwards, he truly is the legitimate Dragon Emperor!”
The Dragon Clan has an Emperor, who governs everything in the Dragon Clan – Ao Wuzhan’s father Emperor and also the Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan.
But now that the Devouring Ancient Dragon had appeared, with such strong bloodline power, its position was certainly above all in the Dragon Clan, which is why Ao Wuzhan was not wrong.
Having become the Devouring Ancient Dragon, Ao Cang was indeed the Dragon Emperor of his time!
Wushuang looked beyond Wangchuan Island, only to see the high echelons of the Dragon Clan converging. All were in their dragon forms, struggling to fly over, and they landed outside Wangchuan Island, prostrating themselves before Ao Cang.
Seeing this, Wushuang spoke softly, “Big brother, with Ao Cang elder’s entry into the Divine Emperor’s Realm and with bloodline oppression in play, is he not even your match now?”
Ao Wuzhan nodded emphatically, “What do you think? Look how everybody is immobilized by the bloodline pressure. Under these circumstances, which Divine Emperor of our Dragon Clan could possibly be a match for Dragon Emperor Ao Cang?”
If the gap in bloodline wasn’t too significant, it could usually be compensated for with cultivation. However, the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor that came from the Devouring Ancient Dragon was an existence comparable to the Dragon Ancestor. Who in this era could compare?
Li Cheng too had by now left the Divine World. Looking up at the immense Divine Dragon in the sky, he marveled inwardly, “So this is the Devouring Ancient Dragon? Every scale seems to be devouring the Heaven and Earth Divine Qi, and the Rule of Devouring is being attracted to him, encircling Uncle Master.”
“It seems I’ve overthought. There’s no need to lend him the Nine Dragons Devouring Sky Tripod. With such a bloodline, he will quickly complete the devouring of the rules, fully unleashing the power of the Devouring Ancient Dragon’s bloodline.”
Li Cheng murmured to himself, looking towards the two Divine Dragons prostrated nearby – Ao Wuzhan and Wushuang.
He had seen Wushuang’s true form before, and he also recognized her aura, so he naturally recognized her at a glance.
As for the other Divine Dragon, its aura was incredibly powerful, and it too evoked a sense of familiarity in Li Cheng.
After some contemplation, Li Cheng’s brows lifted slightly, “Is it him?”
