Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 574: Ten Thousand Dragons Worship Ancestors
Though millions of years had passed, Mo Xuan still vividly remembered—the dazzling light that had erupted from the back mountain that day, the scene of the ancient Teleportation Array transporting a Black Dragon over.
The Black Dragon was not of a high cultivation level and was severely injured. Alarming wounds covered its pitch-black Dragon Body.
Initially, Mo Xuan thought it was merely an ordinary Black Dragon. He had even specifically investigated it, ultimately concluding it was a Dark Divine Dragon.
It was a relatively rare species among Divine Dragons.
When the Star Demon Clan members had come to claim this Black Dragon, he hadn’t taken it to heart.
However, what he never expected was that this Black Dragon was, in fact, the legendary and renowned Dark Heavenly Dragon.
One of the Ten Super Divine Dragons.
It was said to command the most powerful dark force in the world.
Frankly, if this Dark Heavenly Dragon hadn’t been severely injured and its cultivation base greatly diminished, perhaps no one would have been able to capture it.
Unless they were at the level of an Ancestor Dragon.
"I regret this so much!"
Mo Xuan stomped his feet and beat his chest, his face etched with frustration and regret.
"It’s too late for regrets now," Ye Yun glanced at Mo Xuan and said with a smile. "The Tianluo Demon Clan is no match for the Star Demon Clan. If they were to resort to force, you wouldn’t be their match either!"
"Senior is correct. However, no matter what, hearing this news, I can’t help but feel somewhat unwilling!" Mo Xuan sighed and replied.
"Father-in-law! Is there any medicine for regret in this world? A mighty Dark Heavenly Dragon... if you had taken it in, you might have been able to dominate the entire Demon World by now..." Wu De chuckled mischievously from the side, his laughter tinged with mockery.
"Sigh!" Mo Xuan could only sigh repeatedly.
"Don’t just criticize my father. Didn’t Boss also task you with unifying the Demon World? You accepted that task. I’d like to see how you plan to unify it then!" Princess Mofi, seeing Wu De’s disrespectful words challenging her father, started to fiercely rebuke him.
"Rest assured. Isn’t it just a tiny Demon World? Sooner or later, I will unify it!" Wu De sneered.
Ye Yun watched the three of them, each with different expressions, starting to bicker, and couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle.
And just then, atop a lofty black mountain peak, extremely far from the Star Demon Sea, a Teleportation Altar suddenly materialized in the pitch-black night.
The altar was enveloped in radiance, from which two black silhouettes emerged. One figure was tall, the other short.
The taller was an old man dressed in black. Beside him stood a boy of about five or six, also dressed in black.
The old man pointed ahead.
All at once, the space before him rippled like water. The entire scene from the Fourth Star Demon Tower then materialized out of thin air.
"Master, why did we return to the Demon World?" the boy in black asked, his large black eyes wide as he stared at the image of the Star Demon Tower.
Although he looked very adorable and innocent, a small Blood Sword pattern was visible between his brows, looking somewhat startling.
"There are some things, though long past, that I wished to return and see..." The old man’s eyes were deep. He stared at the scene before him, not directly answering the question.
"Oh!" The boy nodded, seeming to only half-understand.
「In the Star Demon Sea.」
Standing atop the Fourth Star Demon Tower.
From his superior vantage point, the Fourth Star Demon King looked down at the shocked experts of the various Demon Clans. A smug look appeared on his face.
The Dark Heavenly Dragon he had obtained had been nurtured for several million years and was now utterly loyal and devoted to him.
Although, in name, the Dark Heavenly Dragon belonged to him, the Fourth Star Demon King, in reality, this Dark Heavenly Dragon belonged to the entire Star Demon Clan.
A Dark Heavenly Dragon with such great potential, once it matured and reached his level, would be undefeatable, even by him.
"Everyone, the celebration shall now commence!" the Fourth Star Demon King declared loudly, his booming voice reverberating throughout the entire Star Demon Sea.
At the same time, the other six Star Demon Towers also emitted beams of silver light that shot into the sky, illuminating the entire vast Star Demon Sea.
It seemed to be celebrating the Dark Heavenly Dragon’s advancement to the Divine King Realm.
Witnessing the Star Demon Clan’s grand display, all the powerful experts from the Demon Clans felt their hearts surge with excitement.
"Come forth, Dark Heavenly Dragon!" the Fourth Star Demon King roared softly.
A black light suddenly surged from behind him. It flew into the void ahead and transformed into a Black Giant Dragon ten thousand zhang long.
This Black Giant Dragon was majestic and imposing. Its black scales, covering its entire body, exuded an indescribably cold Super Divine Dragon Breath.
The Dark Heavenly Dragon roared towards the sky, the sound of its cry sweeping out in all directions.
The Divine Dragons beneath the feet of the surrounding Demon Clan experts trembled uncontrollably in fear upon hearing this dragon roar.
"You, whose Divine Dragons are at your command, what are you hesitating for? Why don’t you go and pay your respects to your Dragon King!" the Fourth Star Demon King suddenly barked, his voice rolling like thunder.
"This is..." The surrounding Demon Clan experts were aghast, exchanging bewildered glances.
Upon hearing the Fourth Star Demon King’s words, the eyes of those Divine Dragons turned deep and fanatical.
The Demon Clan experts suddenly understood.
So that’s why we were told to bring our Divine Dragons to this so-called celebration. The Fourth Star Demon King must want all the Divine Dragons to come and pay homage to the Dark Heavenly Dragon, acknowledging it as the Dragon King.
Just paying respects won’t mean they take our Divine Dragons away. It doesn’t matter... Almost all the Demon Clan experts shared this thought. One after another, they took to the sky, releasing the Divine Dragons beneath their feet.
In an instant, tens of thousands of Divine Dragons of all kinds, shimmering with various lights, rushed towards the massive Dark Heavenly Dragon in mid-air.
All the Divine Dragons, filled with fanatical fervor, surrounded the Dark Heavenly Dragon. They circled it continuously, as if performing some ancient sacrificial dance.
Seeing this, a slight smile touched Ye Yun’s lips.
It was his turn to act.
His body enveloped in a golden light, Ye Yun transformed into a golden dragon and soared into the sky, joining this celebration of myriad dragons paying homage.
"Why did Boss go too?" Wu De stared with wide eyes, forgetting even to smoke, his face a mask of disbelief.
"Yeah! That Dark Heavenly Dragon is formidable, but I feel... it’s not even worthy to polish Boss’s shoes!" Princess Mofi muttered.
"Senior must have his reasons for doing this. Let’s just wait and see..." Mo Xuan sighed softly.
Tens of thousands of colorful Divine Dragons danced around the Dark Heavenly Dragon—such a magnificent spectacle was truly unprecedented in the entire Demon World.
"Good! Truly befitting the Ten Thousand Dragons Worship Ancestors!" The Fourth Star Demon King’s hawk-like eyes shone brightly. Unable to restrain his surging excitement, he burst into loud laughter.
「Meanwhile, on another distant black peak.」
The old man in black witnessed this scene and sighed, an extremely complex expression in his eyes.
"Master, this Ten Thousand Dragons Worship Ancestors is truly spectacular..." the five or six-year-old boy in black gazed intently at the scene before him, exclaiming in admiration.
"It’s merely tens of thousands of Divine Dragons. Nothing much..." the old man said lightly.
"Master, compared to that Dark Heavenly Dragon, whose bloodline is stronger?" the boy in black asked with a smile.
"Stronger or not, what does it matter? Some things, once lost, allow for even greater gains. From today onwards... there will be no Dark Heavenly Dragon in this world anymore..." The elder’s gaze was distant as he spoke softly.
The boy in black looked as if he only half-understood.
"Let’s go. There’s nothing left here worth lingering for. We won’t be coming back!"
The old man took the boy’s hand and stepped onto the black altar. As the light flared, the two of them vanished in the blink of an eye.
