At the core of the Dragon Domain lies a massive Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. Unlike other nests, it lies deep underground, buried beneath thick soil.
This Ten Thousand Dragon Nest is an extremely special one, belonging to the entire Dragon Domain. It seals the most terrifying prodigies in the Dragon Domain's history.
However, after chaos broke out in the Dragon Domain, the Yinglong clan, Bone Dragon clan, and other forces took away the prodigies belonging to their own clan.
The prodigies of the other races were still sealed here. Although the Black Dragon, Red Dragon, and Evil Dragon clans appeared discordant on the surface, they had never considered awakening these prodigies to compete for supremacy, because doing so would only make things worse.
But now, the Yinglong and Bone Dragon clans have begun to awaken the prodigies sealed by their respective clans. Their intentions are clear: they want to fight the Dragon Domain to the bitter end.
After consulting Long Chen, everyone arrived at the Wanlong Nest. After passing through multiple layers of seals, they entered the nest.
Long Chen saw countless dragon eggs embedded in the walls, densely packed, numbering in the tens of thousands.
At the core hall of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest stood an altar. At its center was a high platform shaped like a dragon claw, and at the center of the claw lay a prominent purple scale.
The purple scale was small, only about the size of a person's palm, and there was even a notch on it.
But the moment he saw those scales, a vast divine pressure surged forth, imperial aura surged. Though it was just a small scale, it made one feel the urge to worship and worship.
The scale lay quietly there, as if asleep, yet even in its slumber, it was still awe-inspiring and terrifying.
The moment Long Chen saw the scale, his heart raced wildly. The dragon blood within him was rapidly surging, and he actually felt a sense of flesh and blood connecting with the scale.
At that moment, Long Chen understood that this scale must be the Imperial Reverse Scale the Chaos Dragon Emperor had told him about. A sleeping reverse scale possessed such terrifying pressure. If it were awakened, what kind of terrifying phenomenon would erupt?
Seeing Long Chen staring at the dragon scales in shock without any sign of greed or fanaticism, Mo Ying and the others relaxed their nervous hearts a little.
"This is our Dragon Domain's treasure—the Imperial Dragon Reverse Scale. In fact, it's a treasure that every clan wants to claim for themselves." Mo Ying sighed, "
The owner of this dragon scale can no longer be verified. It is tainted with chaotic energy. We only know it is the reverse scale of the Imperial Dragon clan, passed down from the Chaos Era.
We waited countless years, but never saw the Imperial Dragon clan appear. Later, with all our consent, as long as anyone could subdue the Emperor Dragon's reverse scale, we would honor them as kings."
"All these years, no one has ever been able to tame it, right?" Long Chen said.
Mo Ying nodded and said, "Of course, if someone could subdue it, the Dragon Domain wouldn't have been in chaos all this time."
After Mo Ying finished speaking, he tentatively looked at Long Chen and said, "If you can subdue it, we can also honor you as king."
Long Chen withdrew his gaze from his reverse scale, looked at Mo Ying, and said with a half-smile, "Chief Mo Ying, it seems you still haven't understood my intentions.
I, Long Chen, though bearing dragon blood, am still human. I have no desire to command the dragon clan.
But because I bear the dragon's blood, I have the duty and responsibility to help the dragons through their difficulties, even willing to sacrifice my life and blood, even willing to give my heart and soul for them.
But I want you to know that I'm doing this because I owe the Dragon Clan a huge favor. I only want to repay it, not to covet anything from your Dragon Domain."
Long Chen's words immediately made Mo Ying feel awkward. The White Dragon Clan chief hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying, "
Chief Mo Ying, I'm not joking. If you really can subdue the Imperial Dragon's Reverse Scale, we will truly admire you.
Since you have earned the recognition of the ancient dragon soul, we are family. If you are willing to give your life for our dragon clan, we will go through fire and water for you in the same way."
"Old Bai is right. Our dragon clan has never been a failure. As long as you can subdue the Emperor Dragon's Reverse Scale, I, Xie Qianzhong, will be the first to submit." Xie Qianzhong said.
The chief of the Red Dragon clan chimed in, "That's right. The proud dragon clan always has their word—every word is a thorn."
Other dragon clan chiefs also expressed that as long as Long Chen could subdue the Emperor Dragon's Reverse Scale, they were willing to acknowledge him as their leader.
The reason they acted this way, on one hand, was their admiration for Long Chen's wisdom and methods; on the other hand, from his every gesture, it was clear that he was someone who valued loyalty and kept his word—absolutely reliable.
There was another point: the chaos in the Dragon Domain could never be broken, but Long Chen's appearance brought an opportunity.
If Long Chen could become the Lord of the Dragon Domain, even if only temporarily, the chaos in the Dragon Domain would be effectively curbed, which would be a good thing for the entire Dragon Domain.
In fact, after all these years, they racked their brains but couldn't come up with a good solution. If Long Chen could become the Lord of the Dragon Domain, it would be a bold attempt.
Obviously, their intelligence wasn't as high as Mo Ying's, nor could they see as far, but they all had one trait: they trusted their intuition deeply. If they thought Long Chen looked pleasing, he must be a good person.
Long Chen said, "Let's put aside the matter of subduing the Imperial Dragon's reverse scale for now. Right now, our top priority is to resolve the crisis in the Dragon Domain.
Please, everyone, first awaken these prodigies from past generations. If we want to win this crisis, we can't do without them."
"Should we awaken them one by one, or ...," Xie Qianzhong said.
"Let's go together. We don't have much time left; we can't afford to waste it." Long Chen said.
Hearing Long Chen say this, everyone exchanged glances. Mo Ying looked at the White Dragon Clan chief and said, "Brother Bai, maybe you should go first."
Mo Ying chose this because the White Dragon clan's strong members are gentle by nature. Awakening them first would help control the situation.
For each race's prodigy to be awakened, the clan leader must personally perform the process. The White Dragon clan chief slowly walked toward the altar, his large hand gently pressing on the dragon claw on the altar.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Nest trembled. The dragon eggs embedded in the walls slowly slid down from the wall, landing in the thousands.
"Crack, crack, crack...
The
dragon egg shattered, and figures emerged one after another. They were both men and women, all at the Heavenly Saint level, each exuding an overwhelming aura and an astonishing bloodline power.
Seeing these people, Long Chen nodded to himself. No wonder they were prodigies from different eras—their strength was truly astonishing.
"Warriors of the White Dragon Clan, come here. The Dragon Domain is in crisis and needs your help." Seeing the confused looks on these experts' faces, as if lost in distant memories, the White Dragon Clan chief spoke.
At the call of the White Dragon Clan leader, these prodigies all walked up to his side. However, when they wereWhen he saw Long Chen, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Let me do it!"
Seeing that the prodigy of the White Dragon clan showed no unusual reaction upon seeing Long Chen, a Dragon Clan chief stepped forward.
"Crack, crack, crack...
Thousands more dragon eggs fell off. One by one, dragon clan experts emerged from the eggs. One of them, upon seeing Long Chen, suddenly raised his eyebrows and his murderous intent soared skyward, like a divine light rushing toward Long Chen:
"Damn humans, die!"
