It was rumored that Dragon Island’s first generation of Giant Dragon had come from the Outer Universe, leaving behind the flames of life in this world. However, this matter was so long ago that even Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun were unable to determine the truth.
However, after listening to Yang Kai’s words, they now had some confidence in the ancestral records.
“What about the giant…” Zhu Yan stroked the Azure Dragon Spear, “Was this spear given to you by the giant?”
“Yes,” Yang Kai nodded. Thinking back to the giant named Ah Da, he couldn’t help smiling slightly. Thinking back now, he was still shocked by what he had seen that day. His hundred zhang long dragon body was already a huge monster, but in front of this cute and naive Ah Da, it was as small as an insect. Yang Kai didn’t know what kind of race it was that could give birth to such a massive body. Fortunately, Ah Da had no malicious intent, otherwise Yang Kai wouldn’t have been able to survive.
The two Elders looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
Yang Kai raised his hand to grab the Azure Dragon Spear, and the dragon scale covered spear suddenly flashed with a brilliant light. The dragon aura within the spear also seemed to slowly awaken like a sleeping dragon, causing Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun’s Dragon Clan Source to throb.
Zhu Yan coughed lightly again.
“Great Elder’s injury…” Yang Kai looked at his abdomen, where a faint trace of blood could be seen.
“Although it’s nothing serious, it will take some time to recover,” Zhu Yan waved his hand, indicating that his injuries were not serious.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “Perhaps I can help Great Elder recover as soon as possible, or even… improve your strength.”
As soon as these words came out, both Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun stared at him in shock. The two of them had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and now that their strength had reached such a level, it was extremely difficult for them to make any further progress. The improvement of the Dragon Race’s strength was not just a matter of diligent cultivation, but also required them to stimulate the Source in their bodies. The more complete the fusion of their Origin Source Energy, the stronger they would become!
Ordinary Dragon Blood Flowers were no longer of any use to them. Only the highest quality Dragon Blood Flowers could allow their Source to fuse together slightly, but top quality Dragon Blood Flowers were extremely rare. Even with Dragon Island’s strength, they had only managed to cultivate a few of them in thousands of years, and last time, Yang Kai had swept them clean.
Unable to rely on the Dragon Blood Flower, bitter cultivation was useless, so they could only wait for time to settle down. Now that they suddenly heard Yang Kai say these words, their first reaction was disbelief, but when they thought about the hundred zhang long dragon body Yang Kai revealed in the Star Soul Palace three days ago, Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun couldn’t help feeling their hearts burn.
They still remembered that the last time they saw Yang Kai use the Dragon Transformation Technique, he was only 30 zhang tall. It was already incredible that he could grow to a hundred zhang in just a dozen years. Since Yang Kai was able to do so, it wasn’t impossible for them to do so. Suddenly, they realized that Yang Kai’s body contained the power of the Golden Holy Dragon’s Origin Source. With the fusion of this Origin Source, he would definitely be able to obtain the inheritance and memories of many Dragon Clan ancestors. Perhaps he had discovered some kind of profound mystery.
“How confident are you?” Fu Zhun suppressed the excitement in her heart, but her eyes flashed brightly.
“That will depend on your endurance,” Yang Kai smiled.
Zhu Yan chuckled, “If such a good thing really happens, this old master will naturally show you the tolerance of the Dragon Race.”
He and Fu Zhun had fought against three Demon Saints, and although they had managed to maintain the situation for several years, they had suffered several losses. Several times, the husband and wife had relied on their joint attacks to force Xue Li and the others to avoid taking action.
If he could really improve his strength while healing his injuries, he would not have to suffer this kind of humiliation. At that time, if he were to fight two against three, he would not necessarily fall into a disadvantageous position. Even if he could not snatch back the initiative of this battle, at least he would not be so passive.
“Good, there’s no time to lose. I’ll make some preparations before setting out,” Yang Kai put away his Azure Dragon Spear and stood up.
“Where?” Zhu Yan looked at him suspiciously.
“Dragon Island!”
At this critical juncture, Yang Kai and the two Dragon Race Elders were going to Dragon Island, and a conservative estimate was that it would take at least a month.
Such a confidential matter naturally couldn’t be casually publicized. No one could guarantee that there were no remnants of the Demonic Heavenly Dao in the Star Boundary’s army. If news of this leaked out, the Demon Saints would definitely take action when the two Dragon Clan Elders returned to Dragon Island. At that time, no one would be able to resist the attacks of Xue Li and the others.
From beginning to end, only Li Wuyi knew about this.
It was announced to the public that Yang Kai and Great Elder Zhu Yan were both in secluded meditation.
Fortunately, there was a Space Array which allowed them to come and go without a trace. After a brief exchange, Yang Kai and Zhu Yan were able to set foot on Dragon Island.
A day later, the three of them entered Dragon Island’s Small World and headed straight for the Dragon Temple.
At this moment, Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun finally understood Yang Kai’s intentions.
Inside the empty and cold Dragon Temple, a giant dragon coiling around a pillar could be seen. In the darkness, a pair of dragon eyes could be seen staring down at them. The figures of these giant dragons could be vaguely seen, and from them, an awe-inspiring dragon prestige could be felt.
“You want to borrow the power of the Dragon Soul?” Zhu Yan turned to look at Yang Kai.
“Is there any other way?” Yang Kai didn’t deny that this Secret Technique was something he had recently comprehended. It wasn’t taught to him by anyone, but rather from the Golden Holy Dragon’s Origin Source Energy.
The Origin Source Energy seemed to contain this Secret Technique to begin with, but Yang Kai hadn’t been able to fully integrate with it before, so he was unable to pry into its mysteries. Now that he had been cultivating in the Ancient Battlefield for several dozen years and had transformed into a hundred zhang dragon, the fusion of his Origin Source Energy had greatly increased.
The information contained within the Source was no longer obscure.
Dragon Island had two great Forbidden Areas, one was the Dragon Temple and the other was the Dragon Tomb. The Dragon Tomb was the burial place of the Great Dragons, and basically all Dragon Race members who died would be buried there. It was the grave of the Dragon Race for countless years, and the bones of many Great Dragons were buried there. Except for the previous Great Elders of the Dragon Race, who were the strongest in the Dragon Race, and were responsible for protecting and continuing the heritage of the Dragon Race. After the Great Elders of each generation died, their bodies would enter the Dragon Tomb, but their dragon souls would remain in the Dragon Temple, silently guarding the Dragon Island.
Inside the Dragon Temple, there were now more than a dozen generations of Dragon Race Great Elder’s heroic souls. These dragon souls still retained their majestic appearance when they were alive, but their consciousness was no longer there, only leaving behind a trace of instinct, so they could be considered dead.
Even if it was an inanimate object, it was still the spirit of their ancestors and could not be blasphemed.
Yang Kai said, “The Star Boundary needs the two of you right now. If the two of you can’t even protect yourselves, how can you protect the Star Boundary? If something happens to the Star Boundary, how can the entire nest remained? The only thing we can do now is force the issue. I believe that the Great Elders in Heaven will not blame us and will instead feel gratified.”
Zhu Yan frowned, a look of hesitation appearing on his face. Although he knew what Yang Kai said was true, he still couldn’t help hesitating.
On the other hand, Fu Zhun was more open-minded and sent a voice transmission to persuade him, “Little brat Yang is right, you’re already injured. If you don’t hurry up and heal your injuries, when those little demons have a free hands, the situation you and I will have to deal with will become even more difficult. Xiao’er is still young, if this world doesn’t have a pure land, how will Xiao’er grow?”
Having lived together for countless years, Fu Zhun naturally understood Zhu Yan the best. With Yang Xiao as the last nail, Zhu Yan finally let out a long sigh, “Forget it, forget it. If the ancestors's spirits in Heaven blame us, this old master will bear the consequences.”
Yang Kai smiled lightly, “This action is only for the world, how could the Seniors blame you? Moreover… this is also the wish of the Seniors!”
Saying so, his expression became solemn and a loud dragon roar rang out. Golden light flashed across the hall and the ice-cold Dragon Temple was instantly filled with golden light, giving it a hint of warmth.
Cracking sounds rang out as Yang Kai transformed into a hundred zhang long dragon, releasing a terrifying dragon prestige.
A profound dragon language came out of his mouth and echoed throughout the hall, seemingly resonating with something, causing the dragon souls surrounding the pillars to roar loudly.
A series of huge figures flew over and circled around Yang Kai, slowly moving under his feet.
The two Great Elders were dumbstruck. Even though they knew that Yang Kai possessed the power of the Golden Holy Dragon’s Origin Source, they were still shocked by this scene. The Dragon Race was proud and had always prided themselves on being the leader of all living beings, so when had they ever lowered their heads to any other living being? But in front of their eyes, the Dragon Soul of the previous generation’s Dragon Race Great Elder was like a subject prostrating before a king.
The complex dragon language became even more rapid, like a raging storm.
As Yang Kai chanted, a strange sound came from the depths of the Dragon Temple.
The two Dragon Clan Elders revealed looks of shock as they both turned their heads towards the source of the voice. What they saw was that deep inside the Dragon Temple, a piece of ground was slowly rising.
Zhu Yan couldn’t help widening his eyes. Although the Dragon Temple was a restricted area on Dragon Island, he had entered it many times before, but it was only today that he realized there was something special about it.
Since even Zhu Yan didn’t know about this, let alone Fu Zhun, she can't help but ask, “What is it?”
Zhu Yan shook his head.
Rumble... As the ground rose up, the entire Dragon Temple began to shake as if it would collapse at any moment.
Finally, at a certain point, the strange sound stopped and the shaking Dragon Temple stabilized. In the eyes of the two Elders, a pool-like object appeared in the depths of the Dragon Temple. The pool seemed to be connected to the Dragon Temple and it exuded an ancient and desolate aura. At a glance, it was obvious that this object had been here for a long time and was engraved with extremely complicated patterns.
Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun immediately recognized that these complicated patterns were Dragon Language, but even the two of them were unable to understand the profound meaning behind them.
“Do you think that the Dragon Souls of the Great Elders of all generations were left here just to protect Dragon Island?” Yang Kai’s voice echoed throughout the hall, “They were here to guard against the decline of the Dragon Race. How many years of waiting, how many years of loneliness, all for today’s rise!” Saying so, Yang Kai pointed his finger and shouted, “Go!”
As soon as he said this, the many dragon souls surrounding him seemed to receive some kind of guidance, all of them raising their heads and roaring as they rushed towards the pool.
Dragon Souls plunged into the pool one after another, transforming into specks of light and disappearing, while the originally empty pool gradually became filled with a thick amber liquid.
