"Since the Dragon Emperor has already awakened, he'll surely return to the Celestial World. We can wait for an opportunity to strike while he's on his way back!"
Cang Qiong pondered for a moment before coming to a decision. "Alright, let's do that!"
Killing the Great Beast King, assimilating his River of Time, and fusing it with the Ninefold Spirit Firmament Pagoda … Once they succeeded, they would have the strength to stand against the Dragon Emperor. Even if Su Yin were to achieve a breakthrough, he would no longer pose a threat to them.
With the Five Decay of Celestial Man descending, no one could guarantee that they would live to see the next day. If they wanted to survive, they would have to be stronger than their opponents!
"The Beast Court is located very close to the Five Elements Sacred Ground. If we hide there, Su Yin will be able to notice us. Why don't we sneak into the Dragon Domain first? The Dragon Emperor will surely come here once he returns!"
The Yellow Springs interjected.
"Un. Regardless of whether it's the Dragon Emperor or Crown Prince Xiao Shi, they'll surely head to the Dragon Domain first.
Cang Qiong's eyes lit up as he said, "Let's go!"
After saying those words, he waved his hand and brought everyone into the Ninefold Spirit Firmament Pagoda. Then, his body morphed into a blur as he flew toward the Dragon Domain.
…
Su Yin appeared outside the Dragon Domain.
He had been here several times, so he was extremely familiar with this place. The first thing he saw was a massive Dragon Gate.
With a slight leap, he concealed himself in the void and walked over.
Even though the Dragon Domain was filled with all kinds of seals, it was still a walk in the park for someone of Zhang Xuan's level of cultivation.
After all, this was not the Beast Court. Without the Audience Stone, it was impossible to stop a grade-9 Sage.
It was peaceful in the Dragon Field.
In a vast square, countless massive dragons were gathered together. Some were cultivating while others were chatting idly.
"I heard that His Majesty and Crown Prince Xiao Shi have gone to look for the Beast Court!"
"Many elders have gone as well. If they succeed and revive the Dragon Emperor, our Dragon Tribe will rise to the top of the world once more!"
"Let's see who dares to hunt us down and offer us a one-stop service!"
"We must restore the glory of the ancient era …"
…
The crowd discussed fervently.
"It seems like they're still in the dark about the happenings in the Beast Court. They're still daydreaming!"
Su Yin shook his head.
Crown Prince Xiao Shi brought the Dragon Emperor and many elders to increase their cultivation. His ultimate goal was to provide a chance for the Great Beast King and the Dragon Emperor to awaken and transcend …
In their eyes, the so-called clansmen were just tools!
It was laughable that this group of people still dreamed of reigning supreme over the heavens one day …
Don't even think about it. It's better to obediently provide a one-stop service!
Concealing his aura, Su Yin asked in his heart as he walked forward.
"Where is the exact location of the Final Destination?"
Both the Dragon Field and the Phoenix Field could be considered as a realm with a diameter of over a million miles. Without a destination, it was almost impossible to find it in such a vast area.
Rushou said, "I don't know the exact location, but according to my guess, it's very likely hidden in the Dragon Tomb!"
Su Yin frowned. "Dragon's tomb?"
Rushou nodded. "As the most glorious battlefield in ancient times, the Ground of Final Judgement has rich baneful auras. Even if it's hidden deep in the void, it's easy to detect it. Unless … there's some form of suppression! The Dragon Tomb is where generations of Dragon Clan experts are buried, and there are many experts there … It's the best place to suppress the murderous aura and conceal the aura! "
Realization dawned on Su Yin.
After circling around the conference hall he had stayed in previously, he flew tens of thousands of miles into the depths of the Dragon Tomb before he saw a towering cave.
"This is the Dragon Tomb?"
Su Yin's expression was grave.
The cave in front of him was more than a thousand meters tall and wide, emitting an ancient and deep aura.
In the middle was a coiling dragon pillar with leather bags of similar sizes hanging from it. They were densely packed like wind chimes.
An old dragon was circling the entrance. It wanted to enter, but it was hesitant. As it circled, it looked in the direction of its clan, its eyes filled with reluctance.
A moment later, a determined look appeared in its eyes as it charged into the cave.
Buzz!
With a flash of light, a film of light appeared, blocking its path.
Shaking its head, the old dragon roared. Its huge body immediately circled around the dragon pillar in front of the door, surrounding a leather bag. Its slightly shriveled body twitched and trembled constantly.
As it trembled, its dark golden dragon scales darkened and even turned black. Its aura became even weaker.
Whoosh!
After doing all that, the old dragon charged toward the film of light again. This time, the film of light did not stop it and it successfully entered. However, it did not fly far in before it could no longer hold on and fell with a loud crash, turning into a corpse.
Rushou said, "As the number one race in the Multiverse, the Dragon Clan values their dignity greatly. Once they feel that they are about to die, they will leave their clan alone, not letting their family and friends see their pathetic state before they die. That was the case for this dragon. When it reached the age, it came to the Dragon Tomb alone. Even if it was reluctant, it would still generously meet its death … "
Su Yin was shocked.
It was no wonder the Dragon Emperor dreamed of reviving the Dragon Clan. It was not his persistence alone but the persistence of the entire clan!
It would rather die than let its clan see its pathetic state … The number one race of the Primordial Era was indeed worthy of its reputation.
"Then … what's the meaning of this coiling dragon pillar and those leather bags? I took a look just now. After this dragon stayed here, its aura weakened by at least ninety percent! "
Su Yin was perplexed.
According to his observations, the dragon from before would have no problem living for a few more months even in its twilight years. Yet, after coiling for a while on the coiling dragon pillar, its aura weakened to the extreme. It could no longer hold on. Clearly, something was amiss.
Rushou said, "After death, everything dissipates. In order not to waste the strength of their cultivation, Dragon Clan experts who are about to die will preserve their essence on the coiling dragon pillar! And those leather bags are the tools used to store them. They are also known as extras! "
"???" The corners of Su Yin's mouth twitched.
It was no wonder the dragon from before was constantly twitching and convulsing. All its essence was stored inside … Was this extras serious?
Knowing what he was thinking, Rushou said, "Life comes from the world and is extremely pure. It should not have any worries when it comes and goes. It depends on what you think! These extras retain the essence of a dragon. Every specific time, a batch of female dragons will be selected. If they are lucky and gain the recognition of the extras, they will obtain these items and give birth to extremely talented descendants! This process is also known as' extras'! "
"…" Su Yin was rendered speechless.
He felt that the terms' extras' and 'extras' were no longer acceptable.
"What happens if no female dragon gains the recognition?" Su Yin asked curiously after recovering from his depression.
If there were people who gained the recognition, there would naturally be people who did not.
Rushou continued, "If they do not gain the recognition, the essence will dissipate into the world before long. Therefore, they are known as' dead extras'!"
Su Yin: "…"
"Cut the crap. Since we're here, let's enter first!"
They were here to search for the Land of Final Judgement. They were not interested in such matters.
Rushou did not speak further.
The membrane of light was a special seal. Typical sixth-grade Saints would not be able to force their way in. However, it did not stop Su Yin. His body instantly transformed into a weak beam of light as he slowly entered.
What appeared in front of him were dragon corpses and skeletons.
Although the essence of these corpses had been taken away by the extras, the comprehension of the Great Dao still existed in the skeletons. They were also treasures that could not be obtained.
"It's useless to keep them. I'll use them to replenish the power of the Dry Origin World and expand the realm!"
With a smile, Su Yin grabbed with his hand.
Whoosh!
The dragon corpses on the ground were immediately absorbed into the Dry Origin World. They turned into clouds of mist and dispersed. The mist slowly expanded under the replenishment of energy.
From ancient times until now, no less than a hundred thousand years had passed. More than ten million dragons had died. The corpses in the dragon tomb were densely packed and piled up like mountains. It was a terrifying sight.
Although they had not reached the level of a Saint and their skeletons would not be preserved for long and would rot after a few hundred years, there was still a high chance that the power of laws they had comprehended would be preserved. All of them were absorbed into the Dry Origin World by Su Yin. The stagnant realm once again expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not only that, but with the support of the dragon qi, not only did the spiritual qi become denser, but the space also became more stable.
"No wonder the Dragon God's Whip is so powerful …"
The Dragon Monarch had sacrificed more than a million of his clansmen to create the Dragon God's Whip. He had been curious as to why the Dragon God's Whip would be so effective. Only now did he realize that it was due to the unique racial advantage of the Dragon Race.
27 million li!
27 million li!
28 million li!
…
In just a dozen breaths, the Dry Origin World had expanded to 30 million li.
Even if someone else obtained so many dragon corpses, it would be useless because the energy within them was too crude. It would not be of any use to a Saint. However, he had refined the Vast Origin Cauldron. It was extremely easy for him to expand the realm.
As he advanced, he collected the dragon corpses. Everywhere he passed, not a single corpse was left behind.
Su Yin smiled. "I'm doing a good deed. I'm helping the Dragon Race clean up their trash!"
The corners of Chang Shou's mouth twitched.
Have some shame!
Not only did you dig up their ancestral graves, but you didn't even leave a single bone behind … You call that a good deed?
Ignoring his expression, Su Yin continued forward. The further he flew, the fewer skeletons there were, and the higher the grade of the skeletons.
Rushou said, "After their essence is removed, the stronger ones can still fly further. They won't die as soon as they enter the barrier!"
The stronger one was, the more tricks they had. Even if their lifespan was exhausted and their essence was removed, it was still easy for them to fly dozens or even hundreds of li.
After a hundred li, the skeletons in front of him were only at the Quasi-Saint level.
There were very few of them.
After flying for another hundred li, only the Saint skeletons were left. These skeletons were completely different from the ones before. They were perfectly preserved, like bone dragons that would soar into the sky at any time.
"Looks like there aren't many Saints in the history of the Dragon Race …"
The skeletons were scattered everywhere. Most of them were at the First or Second Level, and there were only a little over a thousand of them.
After collecting all these skeletons and integrating them into the Dry Origin World, the latter had already broken through 50 million li!
At this moment, Su Yin was even stronger. Although he was only at the peak of the Body Melder realm, he had far surpassed Firmament and the others who were at the Divine Melder realm. He had the strength to fight the Dragon Emperor who had yet to recover!
If he encountered Xue Qianqiu again, he could crush and kill him like a chick!
After collecting all the Dragon Sacred skeletons, he reached the end of the cave.
Su Yin walked around in a circle and carefully searched several times, but he didn't find anything.
"Could it be that the Final Destination isn't here?"
With his current strength, he would definitely be able to sense and easily capture the killing aura in this place. But now, he found nothing. Rushou's guess was probably wrong. The ruin that surpassed the Primordial Era was not here.
Rushou said, "It's definitely here. However, it's sealed when the Dragon Emperor was at his peak. Coupled with the tens of thousands of years of suppression in the Dragon Tomb, it's hidden very well! Without a special opportunity, it's very difficult to reveal its location. "
Su Yin frowned, "What kind of opportunity?"
Rushou shook his head, "I don't know. Perhaps only the Dragon Emperor knows. If it's that easy to find, we would have come here a long time ago …"
"Then I'll search again …"
Su Yin exhaled deeply. He was about to continue searching when his heart skipped a beat. With a flicker, he hid in the rift.
As soon as he hid, he sensed a few powerful forces stopping at the light barrier at the entrance of the cave.
He took a peek and saw the Dragon Emperor, Prince Xiao Shi, and the Great Beast King had arrived at some point.
"The Dragon Tomb is the place of inheritance of the Dragon Tribe. It gathers the corpses of all the experts of the Dragon Tribe. Dusk, don't go in. I'll go in with the Prince. We'll be out soon!"
The Dragon Emperor said calmly as he floated in the air.
As the strongest cultivator of the Primordial Era, he could come to the Dragon Domain without being discovered by the other members of the tribe.
"Understood!" the Great Beast King nodded despite his displeasure.
"Mm!"
The Dragon Emperor nodded. He walked up to the seal and looked at the vast cavern before him. After a moment of contemplation, he sent a telepathic message to the Prince Xiao Shi, "The Dragon Tribe is the number one race in the Firmament. They're born with great fortune and strength. Even though they're dead, they're still of great help to cultivators. If you make good use of them, not only will you be able to achieve a breakthrough to the Soul Melder realm and Body Melder realm, you'll even be able to recover half of the Beast Hall! Back then, I intentionally left behind the death rule so that I could gather more strength! "
"Un!"
The Prince Xiao Shi said in agitation.
He was the one who wielded the Dragon God Whip, so he knew the benefits of gathering the corpses of countless Dragon Tribe members. The Dragon Tomb had been accumulating the corpses for tens of thousands of years, and it could be considered as one of the greatest treasures in the Firmament.
"Once you enter, devour the corpses there. Don't feel burdened by it. The Five Decay of Celestial Beings is coming, and the stronger you grow, the higher your chances of transcending!"
The Dragon Emperor said. He waved his hand lightly, and the light barrier before him immediately dissipated.
This light barrier was left behind by him, so even if one didn't rely on the camouflage, they could still enter easily.
The two dragons dived into the cavern. They were just about to devour the corpses in satisfaction when they froze on the spot.
Shouldn't there be a lot of Dragon Corpses here after tens of thousands of years?
Why is there … not even a single strand of hair?
