"Crack, crack, crack...
The gates of the
Ten Thousand Dragon Nest slowly opened. On the previously swaying floating bridge, runes settled, and the bridge solidified completely, becoming a fixed bridge.
At this moment, among the billions of powerhouses in the Dragon Domain, at least thirty percent had fallen. The rest were covered in blood, some even missing limbs, yet their gazes remained unwaveringly resolute and fearless.
Looking at these powerful figures from the Dragon Domain, the Dragonblood Warriors felt a sense of mutual respect. They were true heroes, and this battle was their rise of the world—a complete transformation with a limitless future.
"We have won. We have earned the recognition of our ancestors. We are no longer useless. We have shown our ancestors with strength that we are willing to sacrifice our lives for the Dragon Clan, and we dare to take the backbone of the Dragon Clan." Mo Yang gripped his spear, his arm shaking and shouting loudly.
The experts of the Dragon Domain also shook their arms and shouted along. The elder generation of experts were now so moved that tears streamed down their faces—the Dragon Domain finally had a successor.
While the Dragon Domain's ancestors and clan leaders were happy, they also felt a bit disappointed, because they knew their era had passed, and the era to come would belong only to these energetic juniors.
At this moment, Long Chen and the others crossed the long bridge and arrived in front of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, joining up with Mo Yang and the others.
"Thank you,"
Mo Yang looked at Long Chen, his eyes full of gratitude.
Others might not understand why Mo Yang was thanking Long Chen, but those monster-level prodigies understood Mo Yang's meaning.
Long Chen and the Dragon Blood Legion had not made a move, which meant they had no selfish interests toward the dragon clan, nor any desire to control them.
This bloody battle at the floating bridge was actually a qualification contest for the future valley master of Emperor Dragon Valley. The ancestors were already old, and the clan leaders' strength was no longer up to par. The future depended entirely on them.
They all highly valued the position of Valley Master and hoped to lead the Dragon Clan. However, their leadership was not for the sake of fame admired by thousands.
They must take up the banner of reviving the dragon clan, charging into battle for the dragons, staining the yellow sands with blood, until they die on the battlefield, writing an immortal glory in dragon history.
Long Chen patted Mo Yang on the shoulder firmly and smiled slightly at everyone: "We're brothers. From now on, don't say those two words again."
Long Chen's word "brother" instantly ignited the blood of the Dragon Domain's powerful figures. At first, they looked down on Long Chen, but later they became someone they couldn't reach.
In their hearts, Long Chen was already like a god. The Dragon Blood Legion single-handedly fought against the Nether Emperor—how arrogant was that?
Long Chen called them brothers, making them feel deeply honored. To become brothers with Long Chen was the highest honor.
"Hahaha, we're all brothers, don't be shy!"
Guo Ran laughed heartily and stepped forward to give Mo Yang and the others a fierce hug.
Hugging is a gesture unique to humans, and the dragon clan doesn't have this etiquette. At first, Mo Yang and the others felt a bit unaccustomed, but in the moment of hugging, they could clearly feel the other's unguarded trust, and only then did they realize that hugging is the most heartfelt etiquette in this world.
"Sister, can I give you a hug too?" Seeing Gu Yang and the others embrace the crowd, Bai Xiaole looked timidly at a female dragon clan powerhouse.
The dragon clan female warrior blushed instantly and fled, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
After this battle, the Dragonblood warriors began to see the Dragon Domain's experts in a new light, and the Dragon Domain warriors, having been rude before, apologized one after another.
All misunderstandings were gone, leaving no barriers behind. Everyone became close brothers who shared their loyalty, and for a moment, everyone was thrilled.
At this moment, the Dragon Domain's experts had already collected the bodies of those who had fallen. They were also martyrs of the Dragon Clan, having contributed immensely in this bloody battle. Without them, Mo Yang and the others might not have made it here.
Here, they could only perform simple sacrifices, and once everything stabilized, they could erect monuments to their merits and be recorded in the history of merit.
Although many dragon clan prodigies were sacrificed, compared to the future, all sacrifices were worthwhile. The future of the dragon clan was bound to be bright.
"Let's go inside and take a look. I'm already getting excited about the treasures left behind by the dragon clan seniors." Guo Ran excitedly rubbed his hands together.
The other dragon clan experts were also extremely excited, but when everyone entered the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, they were stunned.
After entering the main gate, they arrived at a grand hall. However, the hall was empty, with no buildings, only tens of thousands of doors, each protected by a barrier.
When they saw the barrier again, all the Dragon Domain experts were filled with despair. Thinking of the bloody scene when crossing the floating bridge earlier, they shuddered uncontrollably.
"With so many barriers, how many battles are we going to fight?" Guo Ran and the others were also stunned; this was deadly.
"Don't worry, everyone. Every barrier here leads to a small world.
And within each small world, countless portals are hidden, each sealed with dragon treasures.
These treasures contain spells, divine powers, weapons, essence blood, and countless things beyond your imagination.
In short, anything sealed here is extremely precious; otherwise, it has no right to remain here. After all, this Ten Thousand Dragon Nest is the seed of dragon revival.
Each barrier gate here hides a small world, and within each small world, there are dragon clan heroic spirits guarding it.
Only by defeating these heroic spirits would the gate open, and there was no life-threatening danger. If you couldn't win, you could retreat at any time.
However, if you fail to challenge a barrier gate, it will take three days before you can continue the challenge." Long Chen said to everyone.
Upon hearing this, everyone perked up. Since there was no life-threatening danger, they could challenge without restraint.
"Each barrier has a special dragon talisman. You can use your mind to sense the fluctuations of the runes.
When the fluctuations of the runes resonate with you, it means that what inside the barrier must be related to your clan." Long Chen said.
"I... I sensed ...!" One of the prodigies exclaimed in surprise. He felt a powerful summoning force and was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he charged straight at a barrier.
Long Chen exclaimed, "Wait a moment..."
"Pfft"
But just as the person rushed to the barrier, its divine light trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Like a meteor, he rolled out and flew straight onto the long bridge.
Long Chen was speechless: "Let me finish. The barrier here isn't something just anyone can challenge.
Before the challenge, you need to drip your life-bound essence blood onto the barrier. If the dragon talisman protrudes above the barrier, it means you qualify to take on the challenge.
On the other hand, if the barrier doesn't react, it means you don't have the right to challenge it."
"Let me give it a try." Chi Wufeng stepped forward.
"You just had a fierce battle... everyone was shocked.
"It's fine. My constitution is special, and I've recovered eighty percent of my combat power. Let me scout for everyone."
Chi Wufeng flew to a certain barrier area. Within the barrier, flames swirled, and even outsiders could tell that the treasures inside were most likely related to the fire element.
"Whoosh."
Under everyone's gaze, Chi Wufeng flicked out a drop of essence blood and landed it on the barrier.
However, a shocking scene unfolded: the drop of essence blood that fell onto the barrier was actually bounced back off.
"What?"
At that moment, everyone was stunned. Even someone as powerful as Chi Wufeng wasn't qualified to challenge him?
