Chapter 476: Chapter 427: Divine Origin Harbors a True Dragon!

Divine Origin harbors a True Dragon!

On the bronze ancient coffin, within the half-zhang-large Divine Spiritual Origin, there actually existed a dragon!

The dragon, supremely noble, is one of the most exalted creatures in the world.

Each and every one is a truly Supreme being, possessing limitless potential. If grown to its ultimate extreme, perhaps it could become like the Ancestor Dragon, a Supreme Holy Spirit on par with emperors and kings.

Naturally, this species has always been extremely rare, historically said to be fewer than the number of fingers on both hands. Most seen in the world are merely mixed-blood descendants with tinges of Dragon Blood.

In the world above, even creatures with a trace of Dragon Blood are naturally Exotic Beasts, exceptionally powerful. Like the Demonical Demon confronted before, although it was demonized, its power was enough to change the color even of kings.

This is the terrifying aspect of Dragon Blood.

Now, a dragon was sealed within the half-zhang-large Divine Spiritual Origin. Though only two chi in length, if this were to be known, it would absolutely be a World-shocking event that could easily cause a great stir in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

If one could obtain it, even just the dragon’s carcass, it would certainly lead to countless strong warriors fighting tooth and nail over it.

"It is not a True Dragon; although it closely resembles one to the extreme, this is a Dragon Sturgeon, a type of Mutant Species True Dragon considered by the people to have Dragon Blood Divine Species." Ye Chen sighed softly.

Ancient Dragon Sturgeons look just like True Dragons and carry Dragon Blood. They are from the lineage of Mythical True Dragon Blood, and given the chance, they will leap through the Dragon Gate and transform into True Dragons.

These creatures are the stuff of legends, rarely seen in the world. Since the Mythical Era, there might not even be one appearing over the span of thousands of generations. They resemble True Dragons with almost no difference, but they grow exceedingly slowly, a single chi over a thousand years, and they don’t possess actual Dragon Power. They cannot cultivate; otherwise, if cultivated for more than a thousand years, they would become a Heavenly Reversal Level being, at least of Heavenly King Level existence.

Although a Dragon Sturgeon cannot cultivate, it is one of the most precious Divine Medicines in the world, even more so than a Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure, because it carries priceless Dragon Blood. Once consumed, it can extend one’s lifespan by a thousand years, a priceless rarity.

If it were refined into a Supreme Divine Pill, it could fully activate the medicinal properties of the Dragon Sturgeon, prolonging life by more than a thousand years without issue.

However, such Dragon Sturgeons are too rare and priceless in this world. Not to mention searching throughout the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, even traversing through Eternal Times, these Dragon Sturgeons total less than the number one can count on both hands. Each and every one could lead to a frenzy among the world’s many strong warriors, disregarding realms. Any Cultivator who consumes it, regardless of realm, could immediately extend their life by more than a millennium.

And with every chi the Dragon Sturgeon grows, its medicinal effect greatly increases, and the lifespan it can extend grows by another thousand years.

Now, there was a two-chi-long Dragon Sturgeon within the half-zhang-large Divine Spiritual Origin. Even if it signifies more than two thousand years of life extension, even Ancient Great Powers would go mad upon seeing it.

"A Dragon Sturgeon, to think that one could encounter a Dragon Sturgeon here, sealed by the Divine Spiritual Origin to prevent its divinity from dissipating." Even Elder Yan couldn’t help but exclaim, "Little Chenzi, you must obtain this Dragon Sturgeon. If possible, by refining this Dragon Sturgeon, not only could you greatly extend your lifespan, but you could also obtain the most precious Dragon Origin within."

"Dragon Origin?" Ye Chen was astonished.

"Yes, Dragon Origin," Elder Yan said solemnly, "This is the very Origin of the dragon, the Origin of a True Dragon. The reason why Ancient True Dragons were supremely invincible, and the Ancestor Dragon could even rival emperors and kings, is all because of the Dragon Origin. Even the derivation of Dragon Blood comes from the Dragon Origin. If you could obtain it, you could derive Dragon Blood, continuously cleanse and transform your own body. It could even merge with your Origin Power. Even without reviving the Holy Body Bloodline inside you, you’d be more than enough to be invincible under heaven."

Ye Chen was shocked. He hadn’t expected the Dragon Origin to have such an astonishing effect. Initially, he just wanted to obtain it, but now he was even more determined to do whatever it took to get it.

But it wasn’t just him. Dao Chu, Beiming Palace King, and even the young Void Kings who had arrived from other directions had eyes blazing with Holy Light, filled with desperateness.

They didn’t know about the Dragon Origin within the Dragon Sturgeon, but they understood the Dragon Sturgeon’s priceless nature. Merely for extending life by more than a millennium, it was enough to drive everyone mad.

"Act now!"

Almost simultaneously, all the young Supreme Powerhouses standing in the Ancient City’s ruins made their move, rushing toward the top of the Bronze Pyramid Altar, all vying for the Dragon Sturgeon.

There were more than twenty people, twenty powerful young Supreme Powerhouses taking action. At least more than half were genuine Void King powerhouses. Even if the rest weren’t as strong, they were close enough, capable of reaching this realm by other means which made them strong and formidable competitors.

This included Zhao Wudao, Canglan Saint Son, and others. Each young Supreme Powerhouse quickly surged toward the Pyramid Altar. Beams of light shot from the top of the skull of each, their Divine Power surging, formidable beyond measure, none willing to show weakness.

"Be careful. There may be young True Kings hidden among them, and some of these people have special trump cards. I won’t come out to help for now; stay alert and watch the situation first," Elder Yan warned.

Ye Chen’s heart grew cold. So, even super experts of that level had arrived?

He was not afraid though. Instead, he felt a surging battle intent. At least since his awakening in this life, he had not yet truly dueled an invincible True King.

Suddenly, the mist that had been lingering on the ground dispersed, revealing numerous vast hillocks—dozens, if not hundreds—clustered densely together, encircling the Pyramid at the center.

However, what caused alarm was that these were no ordinary hillocks. Their surfaces were riddled with countless caverns, occupied by legions of Alien Demons, tangled in Demonic Qi.

"Are these the lairs of Alien Demons?"

The young powerhouses who fought their way here all turned pale, for their senses easily detected that the hillocks were, in fact, nests of Alien Demons—like ant hills filled with countless malicious presences. They were Alien Demons beyond count, lurking within those Demon Mountains.

It could be said that the number of Alien Demons here was unknown, perhaps even innumerable.

The ancient Pyramid seemed like the sacred ground of the Alien Demons, an inviolable sanctuary. Countless Alien Demons prowled around, but none dared to encroach upon the Pyramid itself.

"Are those truly the Skoda reinforcements..."

Suddenly, with a sharp cry of alarm, hordes of terrifying demons emerged from the majestic Demon Mountains, covering the sky. Each one grew black bat-like wings, their bodies covered in black scale armor with sharp teeth and ferocious faces, crowned with pointed horns—truly fearsome creatures.

Among them were even seven or eight Demons of the Divinity Transformation Realm with four wings, wielding dark tridents as they charged at Ye Chen.

The smaller ones were about the size of a human, but the larger ones, like some formidable Demons of the Divinity Transformation Realm, were as massive as small hills.

Countless terrible Demons swarmed out, engulfing the sky, all lunging at those young supreme powerhouses who were racing toward the Pyramid Altar.

All the young supreme powerhouses went pale for the number of Alien Demons before them was overwhelming, infinite, covering the sky and sweeping over like an unstoppable wave. To speak of thousands was an understatement; they were beyond count.

Merely the Alien Demons appearing before Ye Chen numbered in the thousands, and every one of them was at least of the Demigod Realm, ranging from the lowest Demigod First Layer Heaven to the powerful Demons of the Divinity Transformation Fifth Layer Heaven who were at the King Level.

Boom—

Zhao Wudao was the first to make a move. He let out a long howl, the King’s Divine Crown on his head shimmering brilliantly while a Divine Mirror emerged from the top of his skull, similar to the one Zhao Tianyi had used earlier, though its patterns and inscriptions were even more intricate and profound.

The Divine Mirror floated above his head, draping down strands of Divine Radiance to protect Zhao Wudao, and casting out a blisteringly intense beam of light that advanced forward.

Every Alien Demon in the path of the beam was pierced through and incinerated into nothingness, including even the great Demons of the Divinity Transformation Realm, unable to withstand the force.

This was a true display of the combat might of a young king; unless they were Demons of the Divinity Transformation Realm who surpassed the Fifth Layer Heaven, they could not block it.

After Zhao Wudao made his move, the Canglan Saint Son, Beiming Saint, Dao Chu, and other either heirs of Immortal Forces or mysterious young supreme powerhouses took action one after another. Each wielded their formidable methods, fearless in the face of the Alien Demons, charging straight through and utterly annihilating everything in their wake.

Following them, other young elites arrived at the scene and couldn’t help but gasp at the sight. The number of Alien Demons was too great, a tidal wave against which no one could stand.

Only the super experts at the level of young kings could push through with absolute strength.

Ye Chen too made his move. He cast the Sun Seal, and a divine sun crossed the sky, merging with him. His entire body glowed with a radiant light as if he were the reincarnation of the Sun God himself, charging forward.

Endless Divine Fire rippled out, burning the Ninth Layer Heaven, almost collapsing the void itself, reducing Alien Demons to ashes.

Young kings, each possessing Tongtian power, unleashed their supreme methods to pursue their goals with vigor. Even when facing great Demons of the Divinity Transformation Realm, they could push straight through. Those young elites who followed trembled in their hearts, shaking their heads with a bitter sigh.

They all aspired to compete on the path to become the Human Emperor, and many were the elite of the Immortal Forces, while others had risen step by step with their talent and effort. They all considered themselves strong, but upon witnessing the young kings in action wielding Divine Power, they felt the stark chasm between them.

Within the same generation, an insurmountable Heavenly Barrier lay between them, driving them to despair.

At that moment, more Alien Demons surged from the nests into the sky, including terrifying King-level Alien Demons, quaking their four wings, and shrouded in Demonic Qi. They led many Alien Demons into battle against the kings.
