Chapter 695 - Sudden Change

Edited by Ea and NZRose

“There’s… a hidden meaning in your words.” Yan Tianhen looked at Hai Kuanglang with deep meaning.

“The dragon race has always been a race where bloodline decides everything.” It was Zhan Fengting who answered. He looked at the sky gradually converging into a vortex, his eyes sinking, and continued, “The strong can reliably swallow the weak to temper their bloodline, so as to be closer to the true dragon. If you can kill others with the dragon bloodline in the Dragon Tomb Holy Land, the blood of the person who survived last is destined to be the purest.”

Yan Tianhen was suddenly startled, and looked at the disciples of the Longyao clan who were eager to compete and were full of excitement, and said, “Isn’t it so cruel? So these disciples, do they know?”

Zhan Fengting said, “Of course they know.”

Yan Tianhen was puzzled. “If their cultivation level is not high enough, aren’t they just seeking death?”

Zhan Fengting said lightly, “If you don’t participate, you will become a slave of the Longyao clan, and your future generations will not be blessed by the Dragon God. They will also lose the possibility of ever inheriting the position of Dragon Emperor. For the honor of the family, even if these disciples are unwilling to participate, they must still fight each other with their lives.”

Hai Kuanglang added, “But they might not necessarily die. After all, the Dragon Tomb Holy Land is so big, so the possibility of encountering other competitors is also considered small. If they can come out alive, they’ll be considered to be blessed by the Dragon God.”

Yan Tianhen couldn’t help but click his tongue.

In the ancient Myriad Dao Era, the dragon clan was still a weak one. Every time a little dragon was born, it was a celebration of the clan. They couldn’t wait to hold it in the palm of their hands and put it on the tip of their hearts. How could they make their clansmen kill each other?

The world has changed.

In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline and the authority of the race, a family had no choice but to use this method of killing each other to get the best bloodline. After all, the spiritual Qi was thin, the spiritual veins were cut off, and the essence of heaven and earth was becoming increasingly barren. This was the sorrow of the current era, that’s all.

Longyao Lingheng and Longyao Lingguang stood the farthest from Hai Kuanglang. After all, the two sides had a long-standing resentment. They would glare at each other from time to time, showing very unfriendly expressions.

Yan Tianhen’s attention was focused on the man covered with a black veil. He was too far away, and in addition, with a covering, Yan Tianhen couldn’t see his face clearly. From the body shape alone, the wide robes covered his body, but there was some emptiness under the clothes, so he could see his thinness.

This was actually pretty similar to Youshan Lingyu.

The Dragon Empress was standing next to the Dragon Emperor, chanting words in her mouth, but her eyes were constantly looking towards Yan Tianhen.

Previously, she secretly planned to lure Yan Tianhen into the Dragon Tomb and let the Dragon God’s residual soul treat him as an intruder and kill him. If she was lucky, that would also take care of Huarong Sword Immortal in one fell swoop, so as to clear the way for her son. But later, Longyao Lingheng stopped her and said that the clues were too obvious.

Obviously, the East Land’s Empress was on Huarong Sword Immortal’s side, and now Xuan Wushe was also watching from the side. If they dared to fight Huarong Sword Immortal, they would be looking for their own deaths. However, the heart of the Dragon Empress had never been stable. They couldn’t be killed outside, and nobody would know what happened inside. Anyhow, Longyao Lingheng was bound to be the one who would ultimately emerge victorious.

The chanting finally ended, and the huge vortex in the sky also took shape.

The Dragon Emperor stepped forward, respectfully bowed to the whirlpool, and said, “Guests from afar, and the disciples of the dragon clan, the center of the whirlpool is the gate of the Dragon Tomb. Only those with the dragon bloodlines and those who are protected by the bloodlines can enter. The rest of the people are not welcomed by the Dragon Tomb Holy Land. But I want to tell you in advance that once the Dragon Tomb Holy Land is closed, if the next Crown Prince isn’t selected, then the Dragon Tomb will not open again. The dangers inside are unpredictable and perilous. If someone is afraid and wants to retreat, they can take the initiative to withdraw now. This is the last chance to quit.”

The Dragon Emperor waited a while, but among the hundreds of dragon clan disciples, no one spoke. Things had already developed to this stage. Who would retreat now?

The Dragon Emperor looked around. “Since no one wants to quit, the competition will officially begin now. If you walk just below the vortex, you can automatically be sucked into the Dragon Tomb Holy Land. I wish you all a smooth return.”

Longyao Lingguang was the first to enter. He always had to be first in everything.

The so-called bloodline protection was simply placing a bead containing a drop of blood from the dragon clan in their mouth. Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen carried with them the blood beads of Hai Kuanglang, which could ensure that they could still be in the same area with Hai Kuanglang even if they were sucked into the Dragon Tomb Holy Land.

Longyao Lingguang and his three helpers disappeared into the whirlpool in an instant, followed by the other dragon clan disciples. However, Longyao Lingheng did not fight for this first position.

Hai Kuanglang came last, and Longyao Lingheng was the only one in front of him. Those who enter first might not be lucky, and those who enter later might not be unlucky. Before Longyao Lingheng went in, he turned his head and looked at Hai Kuanglang. His eyes seemed to be quite deep and secretive, and nobody knew what he wanted to express, but he looked a little creepy.

Yan Tianhen rubbed the goose bumps on his arm, and whispered, “So fierce.”

Yan Tianhen’s sight never left the black-robed man, Lord Yuxu, from beginning to end.

Lord Yuxu seemed to have sensed that gaze. Just before he entered, he turned his head and looked at Yan Tianhen. His purple eyes were a little bit cold, like Youshan Lingyu when he saw his enemy.

Yan Tianhen was taken aback. There was a bad feeling in his heart.

Hai Kuanglang looked at the fast spiraling vortex and said, “Let’s go.”

Lin Xuanzhi took Yan Tianhen’s hand as if there were no one else around and said, “Follow me closely along the way. Don’t run around.”

Yan Tianhen nodded and gripped Lin Xuanzhi tighter.

The strong force hit vigorously, and Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen disappeared into the Dragon Tomb vortex together with Hai Kuanglang and Zhan Fengting.

The Dragon Emperor touched his chin, and looked at the decreasing vortex of the Dragon Tomb Holy Land with comfort, but suddenly, the vortex of the Dragon Tomb gate seemed to have been cursed by something, and it maintained its size and never changed again.

The Dragon Emperor was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of suspicions. However, before he could speak, the vortex which was originally mixed with silver and gray and all kinds of brilliance, gushed out purplish-black Qi. The Qi was first intangible, and then it turned into reality at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was like a dragon with no horns and no claws. The scarlet copper bell eyes were fiercely staring at the sentient beings below, which made people couldn’t help but think of the word “evil”. It roared, and its huge body crawled out of the vortex with difficulty, and then quickly rushed into the sky.

It released a loud roar that made people outside the Dragon Tomb Holy Land feel dizzy and breathless. Regardless of their cultivation level, they were all shaken, and they even needed to use their internal Qi’s to stand firm.

“What was that!?” No one knew who shouted.

They suddenly saw a huge tear in the sky where the purplish-black dragon rushed off to, as if the sky was smashed and the clouds were scattered. Nobody knew when the sun in the sky was gradually covered by the black dragon, and the surrounding light became darker and darker.

When the black dragon completely turned into a mass of black and purple Qi and climbed half of the sky, the light shining on the entire land was only one tenth of that before.

Although they could still see their five fingers when they stretched out their hand, the whole world was dim, as if the apocalypse was coming.

“What… What just happened?”

“Dragon Emperor, does your Longyao clan have to put on this kind of performance every time you open the Dragon Tomb Holy Land? Isn’t it too scary?”

“Dragon Emperor, say something. What kind of expression is that? You… don’t scare me ah.”

Everyone in the Longyao clan was shocked.

No one knew better than them that this was not a normal occurrence when the Dragon Tomb Holy Land was opened. The sun was actually obscured.

Was the sky broken, or what?

The Dragon Empress couldn’t help stepping back a few steps and murmuring, “No, no, it shouldn’t be like this. How can it be like this? This is impossible!”

She just asked Lord Yuxu to leave an array that could transfer the people who entered the Dragon Tomb Holy Land after him to another dimension. How could the entire Dragon Tomb Holy Land become like this at once?

The Dragon Emperor’s face was pale, but his reaction was quick. “Everyone, please listen to me. This scene is definitely not caused by the Dragon Tomb Holy Land. Everyone, take up your weapons and get ready for a fight.”

A mysterious light suddenly descended, and everyone avoided its path. They saw the cold eyebrows and picturesque temperament of the East Sovereign Xuan Wushe in a mysterious robe and golden crown coming towards this side, and behind him was the legendary East Land’s Empress Lin Zhan.

“East Sovereign.” The Dragon Emperor hurriedly ushered him in.

“There’s something strange in the Dragon Tomb Holy Land. I want to enter and investigate,” said Xuan Wushe.

At this time, the Dragon Emperor was also shocked by this scene, so he didn’t care about the ancestral rules. He took out a blood bead from his storage bag and handed it to Xuan Wushe.

“East Sovereign, this blood bead contains a drop of my blood. You can enter the Dragon Tomb Holy Land smoothly if you hold it. Does the East Sovereign know what’s happening right now?”

Xuan Wushe didn’t speak.

Instead, Lin Zhan narrowed his eyes and said, “I don’t know if the Dragon Emperor has ever heard of Heaven’s Wail? Tens of thousands of years ago, such a phenomenon once occurred. At that time, the Pillar of Heaven collapsed, demons rose everywhere, and people’s lives were ruined. Even after thousands of years, the place where Heaven’s Wail appeared never returned to normal. Puluo Mountain and the region thousands of miles around it collapsed and sunk down into the ground. It could only seal itself to slowly heal the damage caused by Heaven’s Wail. It took thousands of years to fully repair the crack in the sky.”

Ordinary people may have never heard of Heaven’s Wail. However, as the head of the dragons and someone who received the inheritance of the Dragon God, how could the Dragon Emperor know nothing about the ancient events?

Therefore, when he heard the words Heaven’s Wail, he suddenly widened his eyes. “What does the East Empress mean by mentioning that phrase at this time? Heaven’s Wail was opened from outside our world. It seems that this purple dragon just smashed a hole in the sky from inside.”

“Is it just that?” Lin Zhan said coldly, “Don’t tell me the Dragon Emperor really knows nothing about what happened today?”

The Dragon Emperor’s expression stiffened for a moment. After a while, he said awkwardly, “What does the East Empress mean? This happened so suddenly. How could I have foreseen it in advance? But as far as I know, Heaven’s Wail really came from the outside. How could something break the sky from the inside?”

“If the Pillar of Heaven collapsed or is missing, it is easy to form a Heaven’s Wail.” Lin Zhan didn’t bother with the Dragon Emperor at this time. He said, “Wherever Heaven’s Wail appears, the spiritual Qi will leak and evil Qi will invade. Just watch.”

Lin Zhan made such a confident vow that others dared not doubt it.
