A few seconds later, a great dragon's roar rang out from outside the cave, causing the rocks that sealed the entrance to tremble.
The two people and one beast in the cave held their breaths. They did not even dare to breathe too loudly. They were afraid that they would disturb the dragon soul outside. Just a Class 8 dragon soul was not something they could deal with, and there were over a dozen Class 7 dragon souls following behind it. Only Holy Emperor level experts could deal with such a powerful group.
At the same time, the laws of the heart had already been formed in the Sea of Stars. They were completely different from the laws of the world outside. Whether it was Saint Rulers or Holy Emperors, their abilities would be suppressed here. Dealing with the dragon souls here was not something a regular Holy Emperor could do, let alone Jianchen and the others.
The deafening dragon's roar shook the heavens and the earth, causing the sky to tremble. Countless rocks in the surroundings were shaken by the powerful sound waves, causing thick cracks to appear. Many mountain ranges even began to collapse.
The dragon's roar rang out from outside the cave Jianchen and the others were hiding in. The terrifying sound waves passed through the rocks and entered Jianchen's ears, causing Jianchen's head to ring. He had already lost his hearing, unable to hear anything. Jianchen could feel a tremendous dragon's might radiate from the dragon's roar. It was like a ruler had descended upon the world, making all things yield.
The deafening dragon's roar finally gradually faded away. Class 8 dragon souls existed in the form of souls. They did not possess any intelligence, so they failed to discover where Jianchen and the others were hiding.
Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress immediately let out a huge sigh of relief when they heard the dragon's roar gradually fade away. The two of them felt lingering fear when they thought about the frightening scene from before. They did not dare to imagine just what kind of situation they would be in if they were caught by a Class 8 dragon soul.
Perhaps the two of them would never be able to leave the Sea of Stars again. They would be buried here forever, becoming existences no different from the walking corpses.
After the Class 8 dragon soul left, the Class 7 dragon souls chased after them. They whistled past the cave Jianchen was hiding in and followed the Class 8 dragon soul.
Only after all the dragon souls had left did Jianchen and the Heavenly Enchantress finally move their bodies. They both exhaled deeply.
The Heavenly Enchantress arrived at the end of the cave and placed a fist-sized luminous pearl on the ceiling. She said, "We've already attracted the attention of the dragon souls. With how they move, they'll probably continue to linger around here for a while, so let's not go out for now. We'll stay here for a few days until all the dragon souls have left."
"Senior, what's up with the dragon souls? How were they created? Didn't the Dragon Clan disappear in ancient times? Why would a Dragon Soul appear here? " Jianchen asked in doubt. He knew that the Heavenly Enchantress had an extremely great understanding of the Sea of Stars, so he hoped to get an answer from her.
The Heavenly Enchantress walked to a corner and sat down. After a moment of thought, she slowly said, "In the ancient times, the Dragon race possessed a dragon's tomb. The dragon's tomb was the only burial ground for the entire Dragon race. In history, all members of the Dragon Clan would be buried in the Dragon Tomb after they died, regardless of their status in the Dragon Clan. And the Dragon Soul we just encountered was born in the Dragon Tomb. "
"I've once seen some records regarding the dragon's tomb in the records of Mercenary City. It's said that there were no dragon souls in the tomb originally, but ever since the Dragon race vanished and the Dragon Island changed, becoming a dangerous place on the Tian Yuan Continent, the Sea of Stars, the tomb began to produce dragon souls for some reason. These dragon souls are extremely powerful. Other than their lack of intelligence, they've completely retained everything they've learned before they died. Even their strength has been perfectly preserved. They exist in a special way as souls, eternal and indestructible. They're no different from walking corpses, unkillable existences. Even if their souls are dispersed, they'll revive in the tomb and recover their peak strength. "
"Just how many dragon souls are there in the tomb?" Jianchen became stern. He was filled with many questions. Why had the Dragon race vanished in the ancient times? Just what had happened to the Dragon Island to make it so strange? Walking corpses with indestructible bodies and dragon souls that had mysteriously revived were great mysteries in Jianchen's heart. They were impossible to explain. They had even exceeded the scope of Jianchen's knowledge.
Other than the Dragon race, there was also the Divine Wind clan and the Winged Tiger. They seemed to have vanished at the same time. Had they died or gone to an unknown world?
"The Dragon race may have vanished in the ancient times, but they still possess a long history on the Tian Yuan Continent. As they accumulate generation after generation, the number of dragon souls in the tomb increases. Let alone me, probably even the protector clans and Mercenary City don't know the exact number. However, several tens of thousands of years ago, the experts of the protector clans and Mercenary City had all mobilized. Led by several Saint Emperors, they led a large group of Saint Kings and Saint Rulers to use an ancient secret technique to seal away all the dragon souls on Dragon Island in the dragon's tomb. Dragon souls no longer existed in the Sea of Illusory Stars. Now that we've actually discovered the existence of dragon souls here, the seal of the tomb must have been removed. I can't think of any other explanation aside from that. " A sliver of worry appeared in the Heavenly Enchantress' voice. She continued, "I hope the dragon souls don't escape to the outside world, or the entire world will be plunged into a disaster. Several tens of thousand years ago, our continent still had several Holy Emperor experts, so we were able to fend off the dragon souls. Now, the continent's strength has declined with each generation. Aside from the path lord of carnal desires, the protector clans and Mercenary City no longer have any Holy Emperor experts. How can such a weak force be the dragon souls' opponent? They don't even have the strength to seal the tomb again. "
Jianchen was slightly surprised when he heard that. He asked, "Are there still Holy Emperor experts in the tomb?"
The Heavenly Enchantress nodded sternly, "There are, and there are quite a few of them. These Class 9 dragons have been accumulated from generation to generation. They're not from the same generation, or the protector clans and Mercenary City wouldn't have paid so much attention to them."
Jianchen immediately became heavy-hearted. He could already imagine what would happen to the world once all the dragon souls escaped. It would definitely be a disaster. After all, these dragon souls had no intelligence. They only knew how to kill. It was impossible for them to coexist peacefully with the people of the outside world.
Jianchen looked at the White Tiger. He knew that the White Tiger was probably his last hope. As long as it truly matured and possessed the strength of the Winged Tiger, there would be nothing for them to fear even if a dragon that surpassed the Holy Emperor appeared.
In ancient times, the Winged Tiger was a powerful existence that could even kill Ruijin, the war god of the Hundred Races, who had also surpassed the Holy Emperor. Its strength had reached an extremely terrifying level.
Roar!
At this moment, another dragon's roar rang out in the distance. The Class 8 wind dragon that had chased after Jianchen had returned. It constantly roared, reverberating through the mountains. Afterward, it began to circle around the region, refusing to leave for a very long time.
Before long, the Class 7 dragons all returned as well. They followed the actions of the Class 8 wind dragon, circling in the air in a radius of several dozen kilometers as if they wanted to find Jianchen and Hei Yu.
"It's just as I expected. They're circling around the area unconsciously," the Heavenly Enchantress murmured when she sensed the disturbance outside.
Jianchen's face was filled with bitterness. He said, "It's over. If they don't leave, won't we be trapped here forever? I hope they leave soon."
.....
A Space Gate that was several hundred meters tall stood in the air in the depths of Dragon Island. It shone with a bright, golden light. On the other side of the Spatial Gate, there was another independent world. This world had been opened up by a powerful individual. It was extremely vast, and one couldn't see the end of it with a single glance.
And on the ground, massive tombs were neatly arranged, like small mountains. And in front of each tomb, there were tombstones of different heights. The tallest tombstones were over 10,000 feet tall, and the shortest was only over 300 feet tall.
Countless dragon souls of various sizes circled in the air above the tombs. All of them were extremely quiet, not making any sounds at all.
At this moment, two figures stood before a mausoleum that was several thousand metres tall. One of them was a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his forties. He wore a set of golden robes and had a resolute face. He currently stood before the mausoleum with a mixed expression. His eyes were filled with deep sorrow and grief.
The other one was an old man in black robes. At that very moment, the old man was seated cross-legged on the ground. Both his eyes were closed and there was a formidable energy fluctuating around him. Clearly, he was in the midst of cultivation.
The two of them were the Class 8 Magical Beasts that had emerged from the artifact space, Ruijin and the mutated alligator Black Fish.
"Why is it like this? Why is it like this? Why has Dragon Island become like this in the past? What happened on Dragon Island in the past?" The Golden Divine Dragon Rui Jin, who had transformed into a middle-aged man, was filled with deep sorrow and grief. He constantly scanned the surroundings, sometimes looking at the countless dragon tombs that filled the entire space, sometimes looking at the dragon souls that floated mindlessly in the air.
"It's changed. It's changed. It's all changed. Everything has changed. The current Dragon Island is no longer the Dragon Island of the past. It's completely different from the Dragon Island recorded in my inherited memories. And these tombs … Why are my dead clansmen called like this?
"And my clansmen … Where are you? Where did you go …"
"Is it really like what the human Holy Emperor said? Have our Dragon clan and the Divine Phoenix clan vanished from the Tian Yuan Continent? Even the ancient Winged Tiger has vanished with them …"
"My clansmen and the Divine Phoenix clan … What happened back then? Why did you suddenly vanish? Did you all die, or did you all go to an unknown place? "
"And the humans and magical beasts on Dragon Island … What happened to them? Why have they become like that? Reduced to a soulless walking corpse with an immortal and indestructible body. "
Suddenly, Ruijin looked into the distance. He saw a huge, red dragon gradually form on a tombstone that was several hundred meters tall.
