Chapter 618: Five Hundred Nine-Angle Demon Dragon

The Innate Yimu Green Dragon God Tree of the Dragon Clan, the Innate Phoenix God Tree of the Phoenix Clan, and the Innate Yellow Plum of the Kirin Clan.

These three clans did not have an Innate Treasure and relied on these three supreme innate spirit roots to suppress their fate.

As for why the fragments of the Innate Phoenix God Tree of the Phoenix Clan and the Innate Yellow Plum of the Kirin Clan would fall into the hands of the Dragon Clan, the reason is simple.

The three clans fought each other for countless years, suffering mutual casualties. It was perfectly normal to have captured some spoils of war.

Not to mention pieces of supreme innate spirit roots, if you said that the Dragon Clan had the blood essence of the Ancestral Phoenix and Kirin, Jiang Chen would believe it too.

Having stored away these two treasures, Jiang Chen gave them to the Sun God Staff for it to consume.

Even though the Innate Yin and Yang Five Elements of the Sun God Staff were already perfected today, one could never have too much of a good thing. Consuming more innate spirit roots could also enhance its fate.

Perhaps after the Sun God Staff transforms, it will bring Jiang Chen unexpected surprises he had never anticipated before.

After processing these two items, Jiang Chen took out a treasure manual and began slowly to flip through it.

This is the Taoist Master map, all the well-known Innate Dao Sovereigns of the Three Realms have been recorded on it.

Among them are not only elders from the Mystic Sect, ancestors from myriad tribes – all foremost strong individuals. Even if they were not able to shake the Three Realms with a mere stamp of their foot, they could still cause terror across the four continents.

This Taoist Master map was handed to Jiang Chen by Jiang Xuan at his last visit. Its purpose was to let him memorize the Dao Venerable of the Three Realms and develop a clear understanding of the current situation.

Upon getting the Taoist Master map, though Jiang Chen did occasionally flip through it, he never took it too seriously.

But right now, his gaze as he perused the Taoist Master map, was extremely focused and serious, as if the item in front of him was an unparalleled Dao Manual.

Jiang Chen was of course serious, because his purpose in consulting the Taoist Master map had changed. Before, he was only memorizing the features of the Dao Venerable of the Three Realms in order not to fail to recognize them upon meeting.

Whereas now, his mind was set on hunting down an Innate Dao Sovereign. His reading thus naturally became serious – carefully pondering the origin, heritage, and divine abilities of each figure, in order to find a suitable target for his scheme.

Yes, Jiang Chen was getting overconfident. He planned on targeting Innate Dao Sovereigns.

The Tribulation Number of the Thunder Pool he had mentioned whilst speaking with the Old Dragon King previously was not wild speculation, but a real occurrence. However, that Tribulation Number was not naturally ordained but man-made.

Jiang Chen wanted to suppress an Innate Dao Sovereign in order for the Thunder Pool to consume it and thus upgrade the world inside it from a small to a medium one. That would make the Thunder Pool jump straight up the ladder to the level of a Taoist Master level divine artifact.

In order for the Thunder Pool to successfully level up, it couldn’t consume a Dao Sovereign that was crippled like the God Sovereign. It needed a Dao Sovereign at its peak state.

Consuming an Innate Dao Sovereign is, for the current Thunder Pool, not just a huge tribulation? One mistake and it could be shattered by the Innate Dao Sovereign, turning into a puff of dust.

This is a massive calamity of life and death. If it passes, the grade of the Thunder Pool will rise yet another level, becoming the first Taoist Master level divine artefact in the Prehistoric World.

But if it fails: nothing remains, all is reduced to naught.

Regarding the matter of Tribulation, apart from concealing some procedures, Jiang Chen did not deceive the Old Dragon King. The beneficial effects for the Dragon Clan were also the truth.

After the Thunder Pool levels up and its power is enhanced, transforming into a dragon will become easier and its bloodline will become stronger. It might be able to advance the True Dragon bloodline a step further, and transform it into a seven-clawed true dragon.

The Old Dragon King actually doubted Jiang Chen’s true intention for such a win-win situation, which was rather disappointing. If it wasn’t for the fact that he needed the Dragon King’s help in suppressing the Innate Dao Sovereign, Jiang Chen would have told him to leave long ago.

Suppressing an Innate Dao Sovereign at peak state, such an idea, is unimaginably crazy, even as a mere fantasy.

It’s probably difficult to accomplish with just Jiang Chen’s singlehanded efforts, which is why he thought of asking the Old Dragon King for help.

It’s clearly written in the Taoist Master map that the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang, the eldest son of the Dragon Emperor and the grandson of the Ancestral Dragon, has achieved the status of an Innate Dao Sovereign in the early Ancient Times. His power is immeasurable.With such a strong person’s help, suppressing an Innate Dao Sovereign at their peak state would absolutely not be a problem.

As for failure?

Haha, that won’t happen. Even if Jiang Chen wants to fail, the Old Dragon King won’t allow it.

The Thunder Pool is so important to the Dragon Clan, how could the Old Dragon King stand by and watch it be ruined before his eyes? Even if it means risking his life, he would preserve the Thunder Pool and finish off the Innate Dao Sovereign.

Even if the Old Dragon King couldn’t achieve that, there’s no rush. At the critical moment, he would definitely ask the Dragon Clan for reinforcements. What else can he do?

Watch the Thunder Pool be shattered?

Ah, Jiang Chen knew well that the Dragon Clan was not willing to give up the Thunder Pool.

The Dragon Clan really has hit a mediaeval run-in with Jiang Chen.

...

....

As page after page of the manual flipped under Jiang Chen’s eyes, no one knew how much time had passed before Jiang Chen finally stopped. His gaze was intense, fixed on an image in the manual.

It was an image of a nine-horned demon dragon. Its slim body was no different from that of a regular true dragon, but on its head were nine gigantic dragon horns.

A unique, naturally formed creature: a nine-horned demon dragon. Existing since the ancient era, it was a Sovereign Dao Even though its name contains ’dragon,’ it is not of the Dragon Clan but a remnant of the ancient demon clan.

This could be seen from its body, where wrapped around it was not the dominant aura of a dragon but the strong, fishy aura of the demon kind.

Although the Dragon Clan is powerful, not all dragons in the universe proclaim themselves as part of the Dragon Clan. This becomes particularly evident after the decline of the Dragon Clan.

Quite a few divine dragons born of Heaven and Earth look down on the declining Dragon Clan, either establishing their own domains or joining other races. Regardless of their decision, they do not consider themselves as part of the Dragon Clan.

The nine-horned demon dragon was one of them. Born in the ancient times, he was naturally a unique creature, born from the spiritual vein of the earth.

At the time of his birth, the demon kind was at its peak. The Dragon Clan, the ruler of the then universe, was suppressed by the demon kind and kept hidden in the Eastern Sea, devoid of all dignity.

Seeing this, the nine-horned demon dragon did not hesitate to join the demon kind, becoming a part of the line of the demon dragons. However, the good times didn’t last. The great war between the witches and the demons broke out less than a million years after the nine-horned demon dragon joined the demon kind.

It was sheer luck. During the Great Cataclysm, the nine-horned demon dragon, through some unknown opportunity, barely escaped. Rising during the ancient era, he achieved the Dao Venerable Realm.

However, his progress stopped there.

After becoming a Dao Venerable, for some unknown reason, this demon dragon provoked the Human Race. And it was pointed at by a man of valor, in the ancestral lands of the humans, leaving it heavily injured and forced to flee.

The one pointed from the man of valor did not cost the demon dragon its life, but it did leave it gravely wounded and dying. It spent almost two eras healing before it could recover.

That’s right. During the ancient era and antiquity, the nine-horned demon dragon spent most of its time healing its wounds.
