Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 460 - 278: Wherever the Footprints Go, It Is My Land

"Are you questioning me repeatedly, intending to invade my territory?"

The 135-year-old Ancestral Golden Dragon stretched its majestic dragon body, already reaching a hundred meters, across the sky like a loftily undulating mountain range. Its imposing presence was awe-inspiring and soul-stirring, causing the boundless sea of clouds and the vast marine territory to surge and quake, influenced by the unveiled majesty and power of this dragon.

Even the Sea Emperor Dragon, which dominates the deep sea with its size, found itself at a disadvantage in front of Noah. Although it had surpassed the millennial mark and was a true Ancient Dragon, it still appeared somewhat small compared to this youthful Ancestor Dragon.

"We have no intention of invading your territory. Your Favored can build cities along the coast at will, and they can freely navigate the sea surface. We don’t require the surface and sky, just the area beneath the sea surface will suffice."

Feeling the power displayed by Noah up close, the Elderly Ancient Orca quickly softened and showed submission.

However, this ancient creature’s perceived submission was blatant provocation to Noah’s ears, just as Noah’s perceived friendliness was misunderstood. Neither party grasped the other’s intended goodwill and concession.

"Just the area beneath the sea surface? Who promised it to you, and who allowed you to nest here?"

Noah was amused by the big whale’s demands.

Giving the area beneath the sea to them, what would the meaning of his sea sovereignty be? Just mere navigation? Then the so-called ocean sovereignty would become a joke.

"Noah."

Accompanying Noah was the Undead Bird Xia, who was also overwhelmed by Noah’s displayed aura, timidly speaking up.

"You and Xia come from the same world. I give you the opportunity to serve me as your Sect Master. I allow you to replace me, to establish your own kingdom and nest in this vast sea."

Noah glanced at the Undead Bird, forced to lift its disguise under his Dragon Power’s pressure. Though the Undead Bird with a wingspan of over fifty meters was not small, resembling a chaotic ancient roc, in front of the hundred-meter-long Ancestor Dragon, this divine bird looked delicate like a small sparrow.

"Are you asking us to become your Vassals?"

The Sea Emperor Dragon Paquiel raised its head, its light blue dragon eyes fixed on Noah. As its dragon body swirled, the churning sea waves became increasingly violent.

"Do you think I’m unqualified to be your Sect Master?"

Noah lowered his head from above, confronting the Sea Emperor Dragon with unyielding and angry eyes. Although it was a dragon bearing the marks of time, Noah sensed no threat from it.

"I will not bow to any existence, especially not an immature little dragon!"

Paquiel’s tone was laced with sarcasm. As a fellow Dragon Species, it could undoubtedly discern the genuine age of the giant Golden Dragon before it. The traces of time cannot be concealed.

A Sea Emperor Dragon that has survived a millennium can live well in any Material Realm, even without a marine environment. They prefer the deep sea but are not confined to it.

If necessary, they can soar through the sky, even independently existing for long periods without relying on any matter. The Legendary Sea Emperor Dragon can do so.

"Beyond age, what else do you excel at over me?"

Noah reciprocated without politeness,

"You’ve lived longer than I have, but beyond age, what else might you boast of before me? Does that fill you with pride?"

"How dare you insult me? Young Dragon, without the Dragon God’s blessing, do you think you can overlook me at such a young age?"

As an Ancient Dragon that has lived through eons, he could remain indifferent to most external provocations, the secular disgrace mattered little to him. Yet being mocked by a very young Ancestral Golden Dragon profoundly affronted his Dragon pride.

Dragons don’t care about the ridicule from ants because they can’t hear it. But taunting from a peer of the same level, or even a more superior bloodline, is something even an Ancient Dragon cannot shrug off.

The Sea Emperor Dragon refused to recognize Noah as an Ancestor Dragon. Within the current Dragon Clan’s understanding, an Ancestor Dragon is not a bloodline class one can achieve through effort alone.

Such a notion that the Ancestral Dragon born in this era must be personally chosen by the Dragon God was never appealing to a self-accomplished Ancient Dragon.

After all, "I could do it myself if given the chance!"

If the Dragon God were to appear personally, nearly every Legendary Ancient Dragon would express respect and willingness to serve the Dragon God. However, to submit to a chosen young Dragon cub of the Dragon God? How could it ever be willing?

"Dragon God? Which Dragon God’s blessing have you sensed in me? Come, tell me, for I, too, have been greatly puzzled by it!"

Observing the old dragon before him, filled with discontent, Noah descended from the sky again. The Golden Dragon harbored no fear or resistance to the ocean.

Witnessing the escalating tension, the two Legendary Giant Dragons nearing a fight, the Undead Bird Xia flew anxiously in circles. Meanwhile, the Elderly Ancient Orca also noticed something amiss. Its mountainous back rose, tail slapping heavily, raising hundreds of meters of monstrous waves, letting out a low murmur,
