Chapter 1302: Chapter 1302
However, as Sun Da Ren looked around, the six ancestor portraits depicted six powerful Dragon Lords, either coiled in clouds or swimming among the stars, all of which had one feature - a pair of dragon eyes staring solemnly at the entire Ancestral Altar. The portraits, stone tablets, and plaques all contained great power. Even after so many years had passed, the dragon’s energy in this place remained vast and surging. Sun Da Ren speculated that the power was supplied by the whole Dragon Water Palace.
If it were before Heavenly Track Reversal, Sun Da Ren even speculated that the four Dragon Lords who ascended to the Immortal World could observe this place at any time through the eyes on the portraits.
If Sun Da Ren dared to destroy those plaques in such a ceremony, he was afraid that the entire Dragon Water Palace would be in an uproar.
Sun Da Ren returned the way he came and found Light Cocoon: "Do not mess with those plaques!"
Light Cocoon discontentedly replied: "If you cannot help me, then why should I keep the gate for you?"
Sun Da Ren frowned, saying: "If you want to stay trapped here for the rest of your life, then let the cultivators from other realms come. This great person only said not to interfere easily, not that I will not find a way to help you. But if this is how you treat your partner, this great person will seal off the Ancient Annihilation Domain after leaving, and what can you do by letting those cultivators pass?"
Light Cocoon’s radiance began to flow, and soon, it formed text to appease Sun Da Ren: "It was my mistake. But I was just a little anxious, don’t mind my attitude. You said you could find a way, what is it about?"
Sun Da Ren pondered and said: "There is too much dragon energy in the Ancestral Altar. Based on the current situation, unless it is the Ninth Realm, forcibly destroying the Ancestral Altar would cause a terrible backlash."
Light Cocoon actually had a rough idea, and it even understood the Ancestral Altar’s horror better than Sun Da Ren.
Sun Da Ren continued, "We can try to find some dragon-slaying artifacts and use their evil aura to suppress the dragon energy in the Ancestral Altar. However, ordinary dragon-slaying artifacts may be insufficient in their evil aura, so this great person needs to search carefully."
Then he looked at Light Cocoon, "Such treasures are extremely precious, so why should this great person help you?"
You also mentioned that if you helped me, I would help you. But now the situation has somewhat reversed. If Sun Da Ren annoys me, I will just seal the Ancient Annihilation Domain, and I won’t suffer much if I seize them."
True Spirit immediately asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Help me control the Imperial Garden, and when I need it, open the path to other lands."
True Spirit agreed effortlessly: "No problem."
Owen Bertram nodded: "Alright, this great person will go and find the dragon-slaying artifacts first. In the meantime, you watch over this place and don’t let the powerful beings from other lands come here and cause trouble."
To Owen Bertram’s surprise, True Spirit provided a piece of information: During the time when the Dragon Clan still existed, a famous dragon killing incident occurred.
It was the heyday of the Dragon Clan. Although the first, second, and third generations of True Dragons had hidden themselves in the Star Sea, the bloodline of the fourth generation was still powerful. They had numerous descendants, and the lifespan of the Dragon Race ranked among the top in all races. Even those who didn’t purposely cultivate could sleep in their nests and, after thousands of years, become the world’s top experts.
The dragons were greedy and protective. Under the rule of the four generations, they were relatively united, and other races often suffered from bullying. But, the Dragon Race thought it was justified. The resentment of other races soared, but they were afraid of the Dragon Race’s strength. Finally, after thousands of years, they found an opportunity.
A young True Dragon occupied a sea area, and its cruel nature loved to create huge waves to flood human villages along the coast. Then, it would watch from the sky as these poor bugs struggled and screamed in the storm, and eventually sink into the sea. It would laugh out loud, and its laughter would turn into thunderbolts, spreading throughout the storm.
It played for hundreds of years until a human youngster lost his parents to its games. The young man vowed revenge, and no matter how powerful the True Dragon was, he had a determined heart to cut off its head by himself.
In this process, the young man gained successive chances. He received scriptures from the Spirit Race, divine arts from the Feather Race, elixirs from the Demon Clan, divine weapons from the Giant Clan, soul spells from the Undying Race, blessings from the Merfolk, and more.
Within three years, the young man plunged deep into the sea with the Heaven Breaking Saw created by the Giant Clan and beheaded the True Dragon. He crushed its Dragon Pearl, and the pearl turned into a brilliant rain of light to wash over the young man’s body, making him even more powerful.
The Dragon Race was furious, but they couldn’t blame the other races because they had already designed everything. The young man’s "opportunities" would always bring many coincidences after passing the other races’ tests, ultimately leading to success.
The Dragon Race vented its anger on the young man. The slain True Dragon wasn’t particularly powerful within the race, perhaps a part of the 13th or 14th generation bloodline. The Dragon Race then sent a True Dragon from the ninth generation, and it was killed, too!
Next, a True Dragon from the sixth generation was sent and also killed!
The youngster became stronger and stronger as the Dragon Race continued to add fuel to the fire. Ultimately, he stood alone in front of one of the most powerful Dragons of that era, the Silver Sea Dragon Lord, Michael Martin. With his Heaven Breaking Saw in hand, he battled against and killed Michael Martin’s nine divine generals in the deep Silver Sea’s Divine Fall Abyss.
The outcome of that battle was unknown, as no one has ever seen the youngster or Michael Martin again. Since then, the Divine Fall Abyss has become extremely dangerous, and even True Dragons cannot venture into it.
