Chapter 318: Chapter 274: The Ancestral Dragon’s Wrath

The Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and the Primordial Qilin had just left Mount Ling when two figures flew towards them: one was the Four Dissimilars, the other was the Golden-Winged Roc.

"Father!" exclaimed the Four Dissimilars, rushing over excitedly.

The Primordial Qilin, who had transformed into a handsome young man, had a smile on his face, but also a touch of helplessness. The presence of the Four Dissimilars at Mount Ling clearly meant they were embroiled in this calamity.

The Golden-Winged Roc was staring at Yuan Feng before asking, "Are you my mother?"

Yuan Feng sighed, "It was my sin that caused you to suffer."

The Golden-Winged Roc said, "With Kong Xuan around, I didn’t have much trouble. It’s just a pity that Kong Xuan has been captured by Moluo and taken beyond this realm."

Yuan Feng’s expression changed, revealing her worry.

Upon witnessing these reunion scenes of parent and child, the Ancestral Dragon’s expression darkened—his own offspring had all died out, and he did not sense any particularly strong true dragon bloodlines.

"Hmph!" With a proud snort, the Ancestral Dragon headed directly to the center of the Four Seas, intending to gather the Dragon Race.

Afterward, Yuan Feng and the Primordial Qilin also dispersed and left.

Soon, the Ancestral Dragon arrived at the center of the Four Seas, and his dragon’s roar spread throughout all three realms: "All of the Dragon Race, come to me at once!"

At this moment, every member of the Dragon Race, true dragons and karma dragons alike, felt the call of their bloodline.

They flew out from the waters of the Four Seas, from rivers and lakes and swamps on land, roaring excitedly as they all converged on the central area of the Four Seas.

This grand spectacle shook the three realms.

Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhen Yuanzi laughed, "Now is not their time anymore. If the Ancestral Dragon is as domineering and arrogant as before, he is likely to suffer a great loss."

Yun Zhongzi was curious, "Do you have such confidence in Sun Wukong? In the era when no saints were present, the Ancestral Dragon was one of the strongest beings in the Vast Wilderness."

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Zhen Yuanzi’s eyes, "You haven’t seen him. If you had, you would sense what makes him different. It’s as though miracles always happen to him."

Hearing this, Yun Zhongzi became even more curious.

Ancestral Martial Palace.

Ao Lie heard the Ancestral Dragon’s voice and felt the intense calling of true dragon blood. He wasn’t much excited or thrilled; his feelings were more of concern.

Since being conferred by the great Han as the totem of the entire Human Race, the Dragon Race had finally begun to move toward a better future, but now they faced a potential great turmoil.

Because of the Ancestral Dragon’s return, as well as his alliance with the West, it was inevitable that they would be enemies of the great Han.

Sun Wukong smiled, "No need to worry too much, with your master here, nothing serious can happen."

Liu Xiu also spoke solemnly, "Brother, go ahead and do what you must. The destiny of the great Han will fully support you."

Ao Lie took a deep breath, bowed, and then left the Ancestral Martial Palace. Transforming into his true dragon form, an enormous golden dragon thousands of feet long let out a roar above Chang’an City and led many dragons stationed around Chang’an as they flew toward the center of the Four Seas.

...

At this moment, in the center of the Four Seas, waves soared to the sky as the massive body of the Ancestral Dragon coiled and twisted in the air.

Countless members of the Dragon Race flew out from every corner of the three realms. They all saw the cyan-gold body of the Ancestral Dragon and felt the terrifying pressure.

They all chanted in unison: "We greet the return of the Ancestral Dragon!"

However, the Ancestral Dragon was far from pleased with this scene; he was filled with rage. "All karma dragons, not a single true dragon... the Dragon Race has declined to such a state!"

He had some expectations of the current state of the Dragon Race, but he never imagined they had declined even more than he had thought, as not a single Daluo Golden Immortal could be seen!

In the era where the Innate Tri-Beasts dominated the Vast Wilderness, the Dragon Race was incredibly powerful, with the most Quasi-Saints and Daluo Golden Immortals among all races, more than the combined number of the Phoenix and Qilin races.

The Ancestral Dragon said in a deep voice, "Who is the current tribal chief?"

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas looked at one another before the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea, Ao Guang, stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the Ancestral Dragon, the Dragon Race is now divided into various small groups scattered across the three realms, with no unified tribal leader; only the Dharma-protecting Dragon God, Ao Lie, is endorsed by many of the Dragon Race."

The Dragon King of the South Sea and the Sea Dragon King wanted to refute, but what Ao Guang said was the truth.

The Ancestral Dragon then asked, "Where is Ao Lie?"

The Sea Dragon King Ao Run quickly replied, "Ancestral Dragon, Ao Lie has been conferred by the human king of the great Han as the Dharma-protecting Dragon God of the Human Race. He usually resides in Chang’an, the imperial capital of the great Han, and rarely returns to the Dragon Race."

Upon this statement, many dragons in attendance frowned. They could discern the suggestive undertones in his words.

Indeed, the Ancestral Dragon pressed on asking, "The Dharma-protecting Dragon God of the Human Race?"

The Sea Dragon King Ao Run seized the opportunity to say, "Ancestral Dragon, the Human Race is now the dominant power of heaven and earth. In particular, the great Han revealed the divine way a hundred and eighty years ago, ascending as a dynasty second only to the Heavenly Court and the Underworld.

Back then, the human king of the great Han indeed decreed the entire Dragon Race as the totem of the Human Race, conferring Ao Lie as the Dharma-protecting Dragon God of the Human Race. From then on, the fates of the Human Race and the Dragon Race became intrinsically linked."

The Ancestral Dragon sneered, "Ridiculous, such a weak group dares to rule as the lord of the Vast Wilderness and commands my Dragon Race as their totem!"

He knew very well that the human race must be the same beings he had seen living on the earth like ants in the three realms.

In the past, even when the tri-beasts of dragon, phoenix, and qilin were so powerful, they had not managed to claim the title of rulers of heaven and earth but had only jointly dominated the Vast Wilderness.

He wondered what sort of luck had befallen the human race for them to pick up such a tremendous advantage.

The dragons from the Eastern Sea, the Northern Sea, and various rivers and lakes, despite their discomfort at the words of the Ancestral Dragon, dared not say anything because of his majesty.

After so many years, they had already embraced their status as the totem of the Human Race.

If it hadn’t been for the support of the great Han, they might have continued to suffer the punishment of the karmic shackles.

Now, even though the karmic shackles of the entire Dragon Race had not been lifted completely, as the destiny of the great Han grew stronger, more and more dragons were released from them.
