Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 611 - 283: Gathering to Boast, Danqing Creation Technique! (8000 words)_4
This shattered Ao Canghai's beliefs.
WHOOSH!
A brilliant radiance surged from his body. The aura of a True Dragon circulated, erupting in a heaven-shaking roar. His presence was so staggering that it pushed most of the geniuses present aside. The crowd instantly dispersed. Many geniuses who had been immersed in comprehending Daoist Magic were startled awake, and they glared at him angrily.
Only he was left standing in the center.
Gazing at the Ancient Stele, he said with heartfelt sincerity, "Ancestor, I, Ao Canghai, a descendant of the Dragon Clan, have finally arrived here after overcoming countless hardships! I implore you, Ancestor, to pass on our clan's supreme legacy to me, your descendant, so that the lineage of the Dragon Clan may endure and our clan may rise once more!"
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Ao Canghai possessed a pure Dragon Clan bloodline. By all rights, he was more qualified to receive the Dragon Emperor's legacy than anyone else. Just moments ago, reveling in their joy, some had forgotten themselves; they should have dealt with this greatest threat first.
However, after Ao Canghai finished speaking, the Ancient Stele showed no reaction. An unnerving, dead silence fell.
Everyone exchanged complicated glances.
A knot formed in Ao Canghai's stomach as he pleaded again, "Ancestor, please look! Open your eyes and see! I am a pure-blooded descendant of the Dragon Clan! I carry your very bloodline!"
As if to prove his words, his bloodline power burst forth. Behind him, the phantom image of a True Dragon materialized, its body a brilliant gold. It had five claws and was wreathed in terrifyingly overwhelming Chaotic Qi.
"Gasp... a Five-clawed Golden Dragon!"
"Is he truly a descendant of Dragon Emperor Ao Lie's line? That bloodline power is incredible!"
"That power is on par with Dragon Emperor Ao Lie's in his prime. Given time, he's sure to become the Dragon Clan's next Supreme Dragon Emperor!"
Everyone drew a sharp, cold breath. This was too astounding.
A Five-clawed Golden Dragon was exceedingly rare, even throughout the millennia of the Dragon Clan's history. Not even the direct descendants of a Dragon Emperor were guaranteed to awaken such a bloodline; the chances were extremely low. Any genius with such pure blood was destined to become a Quasi-Emperor, provided they didn't perish prematurely. It had been the same with Dragon Emperor Ao Lie.
This news was astounding. The geniuses from the major powers all began to ponder, their eyes flashing with complex emotions. If this man were allowed to live, he would surely become a major threat in the future.
However, Wang Xiu, who was hiding behind the Ancient Stele, was extremely disgusted by Ao Canghai's ostentatious display.
What the hell are you babbling on about? Get out of the way and stop keeping them from hyping me up!
He hurriedly controlled his avatar to step forward. After coughing twice, he said, "Young Master Ao, the Dragon Emperor wrote it quite clearly on the Ancient Stele! Before his death, he transcended worldly views and no longer saw distinctions between races. Any being in the world who earns his recognition can receive the legacy's reward. Trying to guilt-trip the Dragon Emperor into giving you the legacy based on bloodline and race might displease him!"
Hearing this, many of the geniuses who had long been annoyed with Ao Canghai chimed in. "Brother Wang is right! The Dragon Emperor has moved past such things. Your status is useless here, so don't waste our time!"
"Exactly! You might not want the legacy, but we do!"
"Is the gap between races really that important? Your perspective is too narrow! That is the real gap between you and the Dragon Emperor, something bloodline cannot bridge."
"Even among Five-clawed Golden Dragons, how can the gap between two dragons be so vast?"
Ao Canghai was numb with fury listening to them.
Racial differences aren't important, my ass! Then why does the Human Race ostracize me? So easy for you to say, isn't it?
Yu Xiaolong produced a bag of sunflower seeds from who knows where and began to crack them. "Look at you, running your mouth for ages without the slightest reaction from the Ancient Stele. Doesn't that prove the point? Hurry up and step aside. Stop making a fool of yourself and getting in the way of others' fated opportunities."
His words were a knife that stabbed straight into Ao Canghai's heart.
He seethed with hatred. He was clearly a descendant of the Dragon Clan, carrying the Dragon Emperor's blood in his veins. But now, the Dragon Emperor's legacy was beyond his reach! How was that fair?
"I don't believe it!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Ao Canghai gritted his teeth. Light surged around his body as a great halberd appeared in his hand. He roared, "Ancestor, open your eyes and look! This is the Dragon's Dominance Halberd Art that you created!"
He began to demonstrate the technique on the spot.
The spectacle was immense. Bathed in radiant light, he looked like a deity. Dragon phantoms coiled around him as if descending from the cosmic expanse, completely transcendent. He brandished the war halberd, and dragons seemed to soar across the four seas as a divine halo of God Rings enveloped him. The aura he exuded was so terrifying it made everyone tremble. It felt as if they were in the presence of a god, a being not of the mortal world.
All the geniuses present squinted.
As expected of a Five-clawed Golden Dragon's bloodline. Such formidable strength!
The two Dragon Clan geniuses who had accompanied him watched with gleaming eyes, their gazes full of reverence and fervor.
This is the future Emperor of the Dragon Clan.
They were certain the Ancient Stele would react to the Dragon's Dominance Halberd Art. After all, it was a Divine Skill created by the Dragon Emperor himself.
However, it was a pity. After he completed the entire halberd form, the Ancient Stele remained utterly unresponsive. It stayed dim and lusterless, as if it had lost all its spiritual essence.
Ao Canghai's heart plummeted, and panic flashed in his eyes. "How can this be?"
Wang Xiu sighed and stepped forward. "Young Master Ao, as I said, the Dragon Emperor has let go of the past. He left this Ancient Stele to tell you, the descendants of the Dragon Clan, not to cling to past glories. That is but a fleeting illusion. You must focus on the future."
Ao Canghai's pupils constricted. "The future?"
Wang Xiu turned to Yu Xiaolong. "Brother Yu, show him how it's done."
Yu Xiaolong stepped forward, cleared his throat, and declared to the Ancient Stele, "Dragon Emperor above! I, Yu Xiaolong, am the man who will become a Great Emperor in the future!"
