Chapter 1076: A White Dragon in the Starry Sky

Long Ting and Ou Yangming—one chasing and the other fleeing—quickly streaked across the sky.

After 2 hours, a look of admiration appeared in Long Ting’s eyes. He thought to himself, ‘This fella has such strong willpower. After absorbing so much of my energy, he’s still able to grit his teeth and persevere. What a pity. If he’s a part of the Dragons, I’d save him no matter what.’

However, the young fellow was born to be a member of the Phoenixes, which were the Dragons’ sworn enemy. Although the Phoenixes’ Main Combat Sect was also pursuing Ou Yangming, their attitude made Long Ting on guard. He did not want the Dragons to have another powerful enemy because of his negligence.

At this moment, Ou Yangming was staggering and on the verge of collapse.

His cheeks were red from holding in his injuries, and there was even a dried blood stain on the corner of his mouth.

The young fellow’s clothes were tattered, and he looked miserable, but he was very excited.

Under the impact of the extremely pure power, the land in the poisonous pill’s world became more boundless, so much so that it was even abundant in spiritual Qi.

Ou Yangming looked forward to the outcome even more. He was slightly injured, but it was not as serious as it looked.

“It’s about time. Go to hell!” Dressed in a black robe, Long Ting raised its right hand and suddenly pressed forward. Black clouds rolled in the sky, then a giant dragon claw suddenly pushed the clouds away and stretched out from the clouds. It grew with the wind and pinched at Ou Yangming. The claw was incredibly sharp as if it could break the space. Long Ting was sure that this attack could capture Ou Yangming.

This was because Ou Yangming looked too weak at the moment.

Even the Qi in his body was blocked, which was why Long Ting was so sure.

Unfortunately, he did not know that he had met someone who could use the Heavenly Phoenix Fire to change his Qi momentum.

Ou Yangming also thought that it was about time. With a flash of thought, he held the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer in his hand. Countless spear shadows overlapped in his eyes, and an unstoppable sharpness burst out from his body.

He growled internally, “Path Intent Spear!”

A golden spear-light shot up into the sky like a golden horned dragon. With a flash of light, it collided with the dragon’s claw.

“Boom…” Following the collision, a black light that could be seen with the naked eye swept in all directions. Wherever it passed, mountains collapsed and yellow sand filled the sky.

Ou Yangming took advantage of this opportunity and tapped the Blood Flight Waist Sash. He poured his spiritual power into it and shouted, “Blood Flight!”

The waist sash directly exploded, creating a strong push force. His speed was so fast that he almost disappeared in the blink of an eye. As he did that, he chuckled and said, “Well, senior, I… I’ll take my leave first. Thank you for the flying boat!”

Before he could finish, his body had disappeared in front of Long Ting.

This time, he really used all his strength and did not hold back anymore, thus he disappeared in a flash. Even with Long Ting’s power, there was no chance to track him down.

Long Ting stared blankly in the direction where Ou Yangming had disappeared. His eyes were red, and there was only one thought left in his mind. ‘He did it on purpose. That d*mn human was clearly doing it on purpose!’

At this moment, he realized how laughable his previous thought was. He should have killed such a person before he rose earlier.

Long Ting’s hatred for Ou Yangming directly surpassed that of the Phoenixes.

At the same time, a fearsome thought flashed through his mind.

‘This fella’s only a Venerable One now. What will happen if he becomes a Ruler one day?’

For some reason, Long Ting shivered and felt a slight chill on his body.

※※※※

In the endless starry sky, a massive and irregular sphere was floating quietly. If one looked at the sphere from afar, one could see a faint round shape. Nonetheless, if one approached it slowly, one would see a completely different scene.

The surface of the sphere was actually covered with lumps one after another, and the uneven surface had an indescribable malevolence. The closer one got to it, the more one could feel that it was huge and unusual. It was as if just by staying here, its enormous pressure could crush a person into powder.

All of a sudden, the giant sphere shook slightly.

It was like a volcano erupting. After this tremble, the sphere slowly expanded. Its body that was gradually splitting and expanding eventually turned into an incomparable monster.

The sphere turned out to be a humongous dragon with a white luster.

It slowly opened its eyes. Those eyes were like the stars in the sky, emitting dazzling lights.

This giant dragon did not seem to have a good temper. Just like at this moment, it was awakened by some kind of power in its deep sleep, thus it was seriously grumpy.

It opened its large mouth and spat out a mouthful of white dragon breath toward the endless void.

Wherever the dragon’s breath passed, white mysterious ice instantly condensed. It was as if its breath was cold and frozen. Nothing could stop the extreme cold. Even the endless starry sky, which had nothing, could not withstand its great power. An unusual change occurred.

The dragon shook its head, and its eyes were filled with confusion and anger. It seemed that it had slept for too long, so it did not know why it was awakened.

After a short while, its eyes slowly regained their clarity.

The look of confusion quickly faded away and was replaced by deepening anger. At the spur of the moment, it raised its head and let out an exceptional roar. That voice caused the space to ripple with energy ripples that spread far away.

Its fury seemed to have become corporeal.

The dragon’s gigantic body slowly shook as it rapidly shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a short moment, it turned into a white-robed man.

Afterward, the man extended his slender palm and lightly tapped the void in front of him. That space seemed to have been split open by a sharp blade and with that point as the center, a big circular space was drawn out.

He did not hesitate to lift his leg and step into it.

Only when the man disappeared did the void gradually return to its calm state. Nevertheless, the traces and destruction left behind in the space had yet to end. The continuous circles of ripples were unceasing as if the space here had already been severely affected. If it wanted to recover to its original state, it would probably need more time to slowly recover.

The white-robed man flashed. When he reappeared, he had arrived at a spacious square.

This square seemed to be boundless because no matter which angle one looked at it from, one would not be able to see its edges.

It was a bizarre place, and it contained countless mysteries that no one could see through. As the white-robed man continued to descend, his body continued to shrink. Facing such a big square, he seemed to be as insignificant as dust.

“Long Chen, you’ve returned. What a rare guest!”

A faint voice was heard coming from the void. Subsequently, rays of light appeared in the square. Those rays of light condensed and transformed into a human-shaped light figure that blocked in front of the white-robed man.

Long Chen stopped. He looked over with a cold smile and said, “Yes, I’ve returned.”

“Haven’t you been expelled and established yourself? Why did you come back?”

“It’s because I want to enter the heart of origins,” Long Chen responded in a deep voice, ” and the direct passage is in the ancestral land.”

The light figure flickered slightly as if it represented his dissatisfaction. “Long Chen, even if you’re Long Chen, you can’t use the passage as you wish. It’s the Dragons’ treasure, and we can’t afford to lose it.”

Long Chen was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, “Long Xiao’s dead.”

“What?”

“Long Xiao’s dead,” Long Chen said with a pained expression, “I could sense that my younger brother—my dearest younger brother—had fallen.”

The light figure hesitated for a moment then asked, “What does Long Xiao’s fall have to do with the heart of origins?”

“From what I could sense, his enemy seems to be rushing toward the heart of origins.” Long Chen’s tone was not strong as if he was talking about something that did not have much to do with him. Despite that, anyone who knew him well knew that the more he was in this state, the more his emotions were actually suppressed in the depths of his heart.

Once the emotions erupted, it would be time for the world to be destroyed.

“Long Chen, I’m also very sorry for Long Xiao’s death, but I hope that you won’t act impulsively.” The figure let out a long sigh and asked, “Have you forgotten why you were expelled?”

Long Chen opened his mouth and answered with a smile, “Isn’t it because I destroyed a world in a fit of anger? Heh, a bunch of old and rotten people. I really don’t know what they’re afraid of.”

There was a trace of cynicism in his smile. Destroying a world seemed to be like kicking down a house to him. It was not worth making a fuss over.

“Hmph, Long Chen, are you still unwilling to repent until today?”

“Repent? Heh, my brother was killed, and you’re talking about repentance?” Long Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up. He raised his hand and roared, “You—go repent!”

A white light lit up in his palm. The white light spread and instantly froze the light in front of him.

The coldness could even freeze light.

Long Chen sneered and took a big step forward, swaying toward the center of the square.

A huge ray of light lit up in the center after a while as if something had exploded.

After a long time, the frozen light figure shook slightly, and the ice on it retreated bit by bit. He turned around and looked at the center of the square, asking faintly, “Why didn’t you stop him?”

“Why should we stop him? Long Chen’s very strong, but that’s the heart of origins! He won’t be able to stir up anything there.”

“Yeah, since the Phoenixes sent people to the heart of origins, they must have something to ask. It’s not convenient for us to go there, so we might as well let him scout the way…”

Voices seemed to be heard out of thin air. The light figure let out a long sigh and once again looked at the center of the square with a strange look.

‘Long Chen, I don’t know why Long Xiao had fallen, but every dragon Ruler is the most precious treasure in our race. Hopefully… You can avenge his death.’
