It came without any warning. Even the powerful Xiao Chen did not sense its existence before.
The Heavenly Stele was so terrifying that it could even suppress an Ancestor God. Xiao Chen did not expect such a powerful creature to be hiding in the rubble at its base.
It was a grayish-brown old turtle. Its body was like a fossil, no different from the surrounding rocks. It was extremely irregular, full of holes and huge marks crisscrossed each other.
It was like a weather-beaten boulder in the middle of a pile of rubble.
This old tortoise could really be called a stone tortoise. Its physique was no different from that of a fossil. It gave off a very ancient feeling, as if it had existed for countless years. Its body wasn't particularly ridiculously huge. It was about the size of three millstones put together.
This … is a living creature!
Xiao Chen was startled and quickly took a few steps back.
The old Stone Turtle's body was covered in cracks. Its shell was full of cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.
Xiao Chen was so nervous, but it was leisurely looking around. It looked very comical.
Big Dipper!
Xiao Chen felt that he was nervous for nothing. Although this old turtle was hiding under the Heavenly Stele's base, it was not emitting any killing intent.
The fossil-like old turtle swayed and slowly shook off the rubble on its body. Then, it climbed out leisurely, as if it was very tired.
Swaying back and forth, swaying back and forth, the old Stone Tortoise staggered about. It looked to the east, looked to the west, stuck its head out, as if it was drunk, swaying left and right.
No matter how one looked at it, it had a leisurely appearance. It did not care about Xiao Chen at all, as if it was taking a stroll in the park.
This old Stone Tortoise was really putting on airs … It treated Xiao Chen as thin air. In the end, it actually swayed and walked towards Keke.
"Clang …"
Xiao Chen immediately drew a sword and held it horizontally in front of him, blocking the strange Stone Turtle.
"Cough …"
The old turtle was very calm. It coughed softly and said, "Move that toothpick to the side. Don't fiddle with it in front of me."
"¥#% ¥# …"
Xiao Chen really wanted to hack it with his sword. This old turtle that could speak human language was really infuriating. It treated the divine weapon like a toothpick.
"Make way, make way, don't block the way …"
The stone tortoise swayed leisurely, calm and unhurried as it walked forward.
"Keng!" Xiao Chen stabbed his sword into the ground and said, "I don't care what kind of demon or monster you are, you are not allowed to come any closer. Otherwise, don't blame me for picking your teeth for you."
Ke was undergoing a shocking transformation. He did not want this strange stone turtle to get close. If something bad happened, it would be too late.
"Tch, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
The Old Stone Turtle tilted its head and squinted at Xiao Chen. Its attitude and tone were really asking for a beating.
To Xiao Chen, this made him feel a little dizzy. It was already strange enough that a strange old tortoise could speak the human language and converse with him. Now, it even looked like it deserved a beating. Xiao Chen was dumbfounded.
However, he did not dare to act rashly. Only the heavens knew what kind of terrifying background this stone tortoise had. After all, the fact that it was able to remain unscathed at the base of the Divine Monument was enough to explain its existence!
The Old Stone Turtle opened its mouth slowly, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen such a virtuous turtle before?"
Xiao Chen really had the urge to vomit blood. No matter how he looked at it, this old tortoise was very strange.
The old tortoise swayed and swayed as it slowly moved forward, brushing past the sword. It was as steady as it could be, as if it did not care about the distance between the tip of the sword.
"Just who are you?"
Jian Chen took a few steps back with his sword in hand, on guard.
"A tortoise."
The old tortoise answered unhurriedly. Then, it even choked Xiao Chen, "What are you looking at with those big eyes of yours?"
"¥# @% ¥# … …"
Xiao Chen's forehead was immediately filled with black lines.
"Stop right there, don't go any further."
As he got closer to Ke, Xiao Chen had no choice but to warn the old tortoise again.
The old tortoise had a carefree expression. It glanced at Xiao Chen and said, "I'm not looking at a blockhead like you. Why are you so nervous? What a waste of emotion."
F * ck! This old tortoise was really an old demon. Its words were too demonic. It was purposely trying to piss people off.
"Stop waving your toothpick around … …"
The old tortoise said unhurriedly, "Do you really think that thing can kill the virtuous and virtuous tortoise?"
This old tortoise looked down on him again. Xiao Chen really wanted to stomp on him.
"Sigh, young people are so impetuous."
The old tortoise acted like an old man.
Xiao Chen wanted to take out the divine diagram, but he did not do it. He did not want to make a move against this unfathomable old tortoise unless it was absolutely necessary.
Just at this moment, the Old Stone Turtle stuck its head out and looked behind Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen also felt that something was wrong. Keke had undergone a shocking change. He turned around to look.
The cocoon of light had turned into a real seven-colored egg. Keke was sleeping inside.
With Xiao Chen's current strength, he could naturally see everything that was happening inside the egg. Keke's divine power was continuously increasing. The little guy's body was emitting a dazzling light. Moreover, its body was also undergoing a shocking change.
After a while, Xiao Chen was dumbstruck. He was very shocked.
Inside the seven-colored egg, Keke's body had undergone a huge change. It was completely different from before. The originally fat body slowly became skinnier. The seven-colored light flickering on the surface of its body gradually turned into seven-colored scales. The snow-white fur on its body had completely disappeared. And the two little bumps on its head had already grown out and turned into two sparkling and translucent jade horns.
This was a miraculous transformation process.
A miniature seven-colored dragon was taking shape!
About a quarter of an hour later, Keke had turned into a seven-colored little Ancestral Dragon!
Xiao Chen felt a little dizzy. Even though he already had this kind of premonition at the very beginning, he still felt that it was a little unreal when it came true.
Back then, everyone on the dragon island was guessing and looking for the little Ancestral Dragon. However, they all failed. Everyone speculated that the little Ancestral Dragon would be born in the fierce competition between the Dragon Kings.
Who would have thought that the real little Ancestral Dragon was this snow-white little beast? It did not look like a dragon at all, but in the end, it turned out to be it!
Then the identity of Keke's mother was on the verge of being revealed.
"This is a freak, a natural-born little Ancestral Dragon … …"
The old tortoise opened its mouth again at this time and said, "Without going through an intense metamorphosis, it was born with all kinds of abilities of the little Ancestral Dragon, a natural-born little Ancestral Dragon!"
Xiao Chen thought about it carefully. Many things had been verified.
On the Trapped Dragon Island in the Forbidden Ocean, when the nine Dragon Kings gathered, they could summon the Ancestral Dragon Ship. However, it seemed like Keke had that kind of ability back then. Its seemingly immature squeaking once covered the roar of the nine Dragon Kings and spread to the depths of the Forbidden Ocean. It was just that no one really paid attention to it because the nine Dragon Kings were in front.
Furthermore, it could use all kinds of great divine abilities of the dragon race at will. When it was still very young, it already suppressed the momentum of all the little Dragon Kings. This also explained the problem.
Just at this time, the seven-colored sacred tree floating not far away shone with dazzling radiance. The seven Ancestral Dragon's essence let out a series of dragon roars and rushed out all of a sudden. They surrounded Keke and rotated at lightning speed. Specks of divine splendor rushed into the jade shelled egg.
The old tortoise looked at Keke, then looked at the seven-colored sacred tree floating not far away and said, "As expected, a natural-born freak, I finally know its true identity … …"
"Eh?"
Xiao Chen was puzzled.
"Brat, why are you looking at me like that?"
The old tortoise glanced at him and said, "Do you want to know what's going on?"
Nonsense!
However, Xiao Chen still resisted the urge to beat it up and nodded helplessly.
"I'm not telling you."
Biggalema!
Xiao Chen was so angry that he directly pointed his sword at its huge head.
"A very long time ago, there was also someone like you who found this place and told me all kinds of secrets of the dragon race … …"
The old tortoise said unhurriedly.
There was a real meaning behind the Ancestral Dragons not meeting each other. It was not like what the common people thought, it was not that they could not meet each other.
Following the old tortoise's explanation, Xiao Chen understood the major secrets of the dragon race.
The dragon race was an extremely powerful race! And the Ancestral Dragons that were born were even more terrifying. They were far stronger than the regular Ancestral Gods and could practice many heaven-defying techniques such as the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
However, although this race was powerful, it was very difficult for them to give birth to more than two Ancestral Dragons in the same generation. Even if there was a Dragon King with matchless talent and had the hope of transforming into an Ancestral Dragon, they still had to wait for the previous Ancestral Dragon to die.
According to legend, the dragon race was cursed. As long as a second Ancestral Dragon was born in the same generation, three races would be exterminated.
The dragon race could not be considered to be too few. Not only did they have the Tyrannical Dragon, Monarch Lion Dragon, Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon and other powerful dragon species, there were also the Winged Dragon, Thunder Dragon and other slightly weaker dragon species. However, if three races were to be exterminated at once, it would be an unbearable burden.
For this reason, the dragon race had once looked for a way to break the curse. They moved the Heavenly Tree and planted it on the dragon island. They wanted to use its divine aura to slowly dissolve the curse in the dragon blood over the years.
In the end, they even came up with the idea of using the innate Ancestral Dragon to break through the cursed forbidden area.
The Heavenly Tree grew on the dragon island. After countless years of absorption, it accumulated an immeasurable amount of dragon essence. It also gathered the essence of the fallen Ancestral Dragon.
After a long period of accumulation, the Heavenly Tree gave birth to the innate Ancestral Dragon … It was completely formed from the essence of ten thousand dragons.
It was not bred by the dragon race, it was innate. They wanted to use this to break the forbidden area. However, they didn't expect it would attract an even greater disaster. The birth of this kind of innate Ancestral Dragon made the dragon race exterminate seven major races all of a sudden.
The result was even more dreadful than the slow transformation of the Ancestral Dragon!
Without a doubt, the innate Ancestral Dragon was even more powerful.
Keke's mother was born just like that. It really made the dragon race feel both love and pain.
From then on, the dragon race gave up on the idea of breaking the curse. Until Keke's mother got to know Keke's father. Only then did the dragon race's old antiques start to think again. They wanted to use this heaven-defying family to break the dragon race's curse.
As a result, they approved the marriage between Keke's mother and father without any obstruction. However, they would never have thought that Keke's father's family also suffered from the curse. Moreover, the curse of this heaven-defying family was even more dreadful. The entire family was almost exterminated.
Countless years ago, Keke came to this world in the form of a rainbow-colored egg. However, at that time, the soul hadn't truly formed yet.
As the descendant of two cursed geniuses, the power of the curse displayed on its body was even more dreadful. On the day the rainbow-colored egg came into being, the dragon race already extinguished the ten major races.
For this reason, they had no choice but to seal the unborn Keke. That was because everyone was worried that when Keke broke out of the shell, it would cause an even more dreadful curse.
Time passed by slowly. Only a thousand years ago did the power of the seal gradually disappear. Only then did the jade-shelled egg emerge from the Heavenly Tree. And at the same time, the broken divine tree also regained its vitality and grew the rainbow-colored little sacred tree.
The current ancestor stared at the rainbow-colored jade-shelled egg every day. When it saw the snow-white little critter inside the jade shell, it didn't harden its heart to seal it again in the end.
It could be said that Keke should have been born in the distant past. However, because it was sealed by someone, it only truly came to this world several hundred years ago.
Moreover, this little critter was innately fond of sleeping. Once it slept, it would grow up for ten years, or even a hundred years. If one were to calculate carefully, the time it was awake was only five or six years ago. That was why it was still like a child.
Since ancient times, although the dragon race had always been concealing it, the news still leaked out. Many old antiques knew that an unparalleled little demonic star appeared on the dragon island. It was plagued by endless curses.
Moreover, the more the news spread, the more ridiculous it became. Keke was an inauspicious little critter. Sooner or later, it would exterminate the dragon race. Even the other races would be affected. Naturally, there were people who pushed the matter to relax. They didn't want this kind of heaven-defying little critter to appear in this world.
Some of the information above was revealed by the old Stone Turtle. Some of it was what Xiao Chen learned before.
After understanding everything, Xiao Chen was a little dumbstruck. He felt it was unimaginable. He was very shocked in his heart. He never thought that this little critter actually had such a great origin. It was cursed by two clans. No wonder it had so many misfortunes since it was born.
Thinking back to the attitude of the dragons towards Keke on the dragon island, Xiao Chen suddenly understood.
When they left the dragon island, the ten elders of the dragon race sent them off. They loved and hated Keke at the same time. They even wanted to make a move and kill the little critter. However, they held back in the end.
Fortunately, this generation's Ancestor Dragon doted on Keke a lot. If he was a heartless person, the little critter might really turn into a pitiful little critter.
Keke, who was floating in the air, was in the depths of the jade shell condensed by the seven-colored radiance. Its divine power was getting stronger and stronger. And the radiance of that Ancestor Dragon's shell not far away was getting dimmer and dimmer.
This was a kind of inheritance. It was the acknowledgement of Keke's identity as an Ancestor Dragon. The powerful Ancestor Dragon's divine power was condensed into the little critter unceasingly.
At this moment, Keke's body was completely different from before. It had completely turned into a miniature seven-colored little Ancestor Dragon. The two tender dragon horns were sparkling and translucent.
Just at this moment, the little critter finally woke up. It was shocked to feel the changes in its body.
In the end, when it discovered that its body had undergone a great change, the little critter immediately became vexed.
"How did I become like this? Wuwu … … so ugly!"
Keke sulked inside the seven-colored jade shell. It used its little claws to touch here and there and mumbled unhappily.
"I don't want to be like this … …"
It struggled with all its might and the radiance intensified. The little Ancestor Dragon's state had changed. It was very unstable and was gradually returning to its original appearance.
However, the Ancestor Dragon's shell on the ground didn't stop circulating its divine power. It continued to condense into the little critter.
Keke would turn back to its original snow-white appearance from time to time.
"That's fine too. If it really becomes a little Ancestor Dragon, I'm afraid a few more dragon species will go extinct."
The old stone turtle nodded.
Xiao Chen finally relaxed gradually. He was sure that the old turtle wouldn't make things difficult for him.
"Brat, what kind of expression is that? What are you looking at?"
The old turtle was very unhappy that Xiao Chen was staring at it as if it was a thief.
"I'm looking at a tortoise."
After Xiao Chen calmed down, he replied unhurriedly.
"… …"
The old stone turtle was speechless.
After a long time, it said, "A long time ago, there was also a person like you who managed to cultivate the six-sided Divine Monument Mysterious Technique and found his way here. However, he knew etiquette better than you. You made me very unhappy."
"… …"
Actually, Xiao Chen really wanted to say that he didn't like the old turtle either. But in the end, he swallowed the words back after hearing the news.
