"Brother Long Chen... As
Long Chen entered the passage, he stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er hurriedly supported him, their faces full of concern.
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect the consumption to be so terrifying when using the Purgatory Eye this time." Long Chen signaled that he was fine.
What puzzled Long Chen was that when he used the Eye of Purgatory this time, he had held back. Normally, the consumption shouldn't be so enormous, but now there was actually an overdraw.
"Could it be because of him?"
Long Chen suddenly remembered his inner demon. Ever since he lost it, he always felt something was off, especially when using the Purgatory Eye, which always left him feeling powerless.
Suddenly, he felt a bit nostalgic for his inner demon. If there were such a demon, maybe he could just put away that tattered net.
At this moment, Long Chen's head was splitting, stars flashing before his eyes. He hadn't felt much before, but now that he had withdrawn from combat, waves of exhaustion washed over him, making him feel increasingly muddled.
Long Chen didn't dare show his weakness. Although he had already left the Nether Dragon clan's lair, to return to the White Dragon clan, he still needed to pass through many Ten Thousand Dragon Nests. If he showed too weak, others might target him.
When they came over earlier, someone wouldn't let them take the way, so Long Chen gave them a good beating. If they found out Long Chen had lost his fighting strength, it would be a miracle if they didn't kick him when he was down.
Long Chen gritted his teeth and pretended to be unfazed. Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er stood by his side, passing through one Wanlong Nest after another.
When Long Chen passed through the Ten Thousand Dragon Nests again, he noticed that the strong figures here were extremely wary of him. Some even secretly gripped their weapons, and their hands were still trembling.
What Long Chen didn't expect was that they were even more nervous than he was. Suddenly, he understood that it must be those spectators who had relayed the battle details of the Nether Dragon clan to their own clan members using their bloodline divine powers.
Just now, Long Chen had almost wiped out the Nether Dragon clan. Except for Nether Dragon Tianzhao, who had hid in the Ancestral Scale Space, not a single survivor survived.
This was almost a means of annihilation, rare even in the history of the dragon clan. How could they not be afraid?
It should be noted that the Nether Dragon Amaterasu is ranked among the top ten or even top five prodigies in the Dragon Domain, and the Nether Dragon clan has accumulated countless years, gathering all the elites together, with unprecedented momentum, claiming to subdue the ancestral scales of the imperial clan and unify the Dragon Domain.
Yet such a powerful team was almost wiped out by a single person. No one was left unshocked. So, when they saw Long Chen, especially sensing the aura of the dragon curse on him, their faces changed in fear.
The so-called Dragon Curse Qi refers to the cursed resentment formed after a dragon clan member is killed, and it is then empowered upon the person who killed them.
The aura of curse resentment on Long Chen was terrifyingly thick, especially for dragon clan experts, where the reaction would be especially strong. So, when they saw Long Chen, they were even more nervous than he was.
Especially those dragon clan experts who had once been beaten by Long Chen for blocking Long Chen and not allowing him to pass, trembling with fear, afraid Long Chen had come to seek revenge.
Most importantly, their strongest was communicating with Zu Lin at a critical moment, and they couldn't afford to disturb him. If Long Chen attacked now, they would be powerless to resist.
When Long Chen passed through their Ten Thousand Dragon Nest without even glancing at them, until his figure disappeared, the dragon clan experts let out a long sigh of relief. Some realized that at some point, they were already drenched in sweat.
Long Chen returned to the White Dragon Clan's Ten Thousand Dragon Nest without incident. The place remained peaceful and tranquil, clearly undisturbed by the battle over there.
Given the White Dragon Clan's personality, even if they sensed something, they probably wouldn't come to watch the spectacle. Everyone gathered around the white ancestral scales, performing an extremely sacred ritual.
When he arrived at the White Dragon Clan's Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, Long Chen could no longer hold on. His vision went black, and he then fainted.
Darkness, endless darkness. In the endless darkness, Long Chen's body slowly descended. At this moment, it was as if he had fallen into an abyss of darkness—an abyss with no end, and he kept falling.
But for some reason, in the endless darkness, Long Chen felt no fear; instead, he felt an unusual sense of safety.
Long Chen was like a baby in his womb, enjoying the nourishment of the whole world. Here, no one could harm him.
Long Chen's body slowly descended, and silently, a pair of eyes appeared above him.
Those were a pair of jet-black eyes, cold and merciless, like demonic pupils looking down on Long Chen.
Yet Long Chen was completely unaware, like a baby sleeping soundly. He didn't move at all, and his eyes remained still, quietly watching him.
In the darkness, there was not a trace of light, no sound, no concept of time or space. It was as if everything that should have existed in the world had been swallowed by darkness.
Suddenly, the eyes that had been watching Long Chen moved. They looked into the distance, then slowly faded away.
"Great Nine Star Heir, you can no longer sleep..." At that moment, from the endless darkness, an aged voice called out.
Long Chen, sleeping in the darkness, twitched his eyelids as if wanting to open them, but failed. He wanted to ask, but found he simply didn't have the strength to speak.
"Great Nine Star Successor, I know you are very, very tired, but we have no time to rest.
You're getting closer and closer to me, and at the same time, your situation is becoming more and more dangerous. Hurry and activate the eighth star, pass through the Nine Heavens Passage, and come save us. ... We can't hold on much longer... "
Whoosh"
Long Chen suddenly sat up in shock, and the endless darkness vanished. In its place was a radiant white divine light, enveloping him.
Above the void, a white giant dragon stretched across the sky, looking at Long Chen. Long Chen knew this was the Ancestral Scale Space.
"Thank you, senior,"
Long Chen quickly stood up and thanked the white dragon.
"Great successor of the Dragon Emperor, you don't need to be so polite. It is our honor to assist you." The voice of the white dragon was still full of humility.
Long Chen suddenly turned around and saw that Bai Yingxue had also arrived. He exclaimed in surprise, "
Has she gained your approval?"
Bai Yingxue was kind and gentle by nature, easily likable. Seeing her appear in the Ancestral Scale Space, Long Chen was genuinely happy for her.
"Originally, with her aptitude, she wasn't qualified to come here. However, because your arrival has triggered karma, after much thought, I decided to give her a chance to enter the Ancestral Scale Space.
As for whether she can subdue Zu Lin next, I can't help her; everything depends on herself. The white dragon said.
"Great Dragon Emperor heir, I think, I think it's time for you to leave."
The white dragon looked at Long Chen with a meaningful tone.
