The barrier disappeared, and so did the arena, revealing an open portal. Inside was an ancient and grand hall.
The hall was empty, except for a dragon bone placed in the center. The bone was smooth as jade, bearing a dragon-shaped rune.
"Heavenly Dragon Brings Rain?" What is this?"
Guo Ran looked at the inscriptions beside the dragon bones and couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment. Judging by the inscriptions, it should be a dragon clan's divine ability, but the name itself wasn't imposing at all—it didn't look impressive at all.
At this moment, Long Chen and the others walked over. Seeing the runes on the dragon bone, Long Chen said, "
This move should be the one-palm final strike from that senior just now."
"Really?"
Guo Ran recalled the power of that Dragon Emperor's palm strike and still felt a lingering fear in his heart. That strike was terrifying.
"It should be true. The moment he struck with that palm, a strange phenomenon appeared behind him, faintly visible as countless raindrops pouring down." Long Chen said.
Long Chen saw this battle clearly. Guo Ran was indeed formidable now; he actually withstood this world-shattering strike.
Although he estimated that Guo Ran must have paid a heavy price, in the entire Dragonblood Legion, only he and Guo Ran could withstand this move head-on.
"Today's performance was really cool!" Long Chen patted Guo Ran on the shoulder and praised him generously.
"Hahaha, not at all, no need to be so polite. My handsomeness is still a little bit short of yours, boss, hahaha...
Guo Ran tried his best to appear humble, but no matter what, he couldn't control his expression, leaving everyone speechless.
However, Guo Ran was truly strong. No matter how arrogant or arrogant he acted, it was only natural.
"This move... It's clan skill, which means all of us can cultivate!" The White Dragon Clan ancestor carefully examined the rune and was instantly overwhelmed with excitement.
Clan technique is a term used within the dragon clan, meaning that this move has no bloodline restrictions; anyone with dragon bloodline can practice it.
As soon as they heard that anyone could cultivate, the experts of the Dragon Domain were instantly overjoyed. This meant they could all master this move in the future.
Guo Ran set a good example for the Dragon Clan, giving everyone hope. Then Gu Yang, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, Bai Shishi, Bai Xiaole, and others all began to challenge one after another.
Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and Bai Shishi fought fiercely with their opponents for a full half hour before ultimately losing.
Gu Yang, relying on his fierce will, fought his opponent for two hours, exhausting his strength and ultimately achieving victory.
But Bai Xiaole was unexpected. When he challenged, he actually entered together with the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, and the formation did not exclude the Purple-Eyed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
The result was a two-on-one situation. Most importantly, after the two merged, the ocular technique unleashed, and the gatekeeper seemed to be countered by the technique. In just the time it takes to burn an incense stick, they defeated him and took him down easily.
In fact, the gatekeepers who fought fiercely against Bai Xiaole, just like the ones Guo Ran encountered, had all suffered losses due to lack of experience.
They had never encountered such an opponent in life, because they were dead heroic spirits and could only fight according to their usual tactics and mindset, which was why they had taken advantage of the situation.
Three victories revealed the weaknesses of these gatekeepers—not only did he see them, but the Dragonblood Warriors also saw them.
However, none of them pointed it out. Even the Dragonblood warriors secretly swore never to exploit the other's weaknesses to defeat them.
They wanted to defeat them at their strongest point, not just for victory, but for a process of honing themselves.
Such experts are extremely rare; they cherish such opportunities immensely. If they don't squeeze out all the value from the opponent, it would be a waste of valuable resources.
Compared to learning powerful spells and divine abilities, they cherished the chance to fight peerless experts.
"Boss, show me what you're up to!" Guo Ran urged him on.
As soon as Guo Ran spoke, the powerful figures of the Dragon Domain became excited, but Long Chen shook his head and said, "
I haven't recovered from the last great battle, so I won't show my disdain."
At Long Chen's words, everyone was a bit disappointed. However, recalling the last Dragon Domain battle, where Long Chen had fought various powerful opponents in succession, his body might have suffered hidden injuries, so it was only natural that he would recover more slowly.
"What about Zifeng..."
Guo Ran was about to say and ask Yue Zifeng to act, but then he realized that since Yue Zifeng had neither dragon blood nor dragon soul blessings, he couldn't challenge the gatekeepers here.
Bai Xiaole and Bai Shishi didn't have dragon blood, but they were blessed with dragon souls, so they could take on the challenge.
But Yue Zifeng was different. He had a pure human body, without a trace of impurity. Although he had cultivated with the power of dragon blood, his body was not tainted with dragon blood.
It could be said that here, Yue Zifeng was truly a pure human, with no impurities in bloodline or soul.
Long Chen said, "Imperial Dragon Valley is huge. Besides this inheritance site, there are also habitats for the Imperial Dragon clan, mineral mining sites, cultivation grounds, places for washing tendons and marrow cutting, and so on.
It can be said that whatever the Dragon Domain has, it has here; what the Dragon Domain does not have, it also exists here. Everyone should make good use of the resources here, cultivate diligently, and stop wasting precious time.
We have an irreconcilable feud with the Great Brahma Heaven, and we've also made a grudge against the Nether Emperor. Our opponents are terrifyingly powerful—we have no time left to waste."
"Boss, judging by your tone, are we leaving Emperor Dragon Valley now?" Guo Ran and the others were familiar with Long Chen, and when they heard his tone, they were startled.
The experts of the Dragon Domain were also shocked, staring at Long Chen in disbelief.
"It's not that we're leaving, but that Zifeng and I are leaving." Long Chen said.
"Why is that?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Here, you can improve your strength by challenging the Gatekeepers, but Zifeng staying here is just a waste of time.
As for me, I have other important matters to attend to, so I'll leave this to you." Long Chen said.
"Long Chen, you can't leave! You're our leader. If you leave, we'll be leaderless." The ancestor of the White Dragon Clan couldn't help but say.
"That's right. In the entire Dragon Domain, only you can convince everyone. If you leave, the Dragon Domain might fall into chaos." The other ancestors also said.
Having experienced the chaos of the Dragon Domain, they were thoroughly terrified. If the Dragon Domain returned to a chaotic state, they would face death and blame. Most importantly, no one in the entire Dragon Domain had reached the level where everyone trusted Long Chen.
Whether it was the older generation of powerhouses or the new generation of prodigies, no one had such great influence.
Long Chen smiled: "No, nowadays, the Dragon Domain is as united as iron, no one has any selfish motives, so how could the Dragon Domain be in chaos?
Moreover, the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest hadn't been opened, and there were so many tasks left unfinished. How could the Dragon Domain have time to be chaotic?
Elders, you don't need to worry. The resources of Emperor Dragon Valley are enough to make up for your lost lifespan and blood soul power. Not only that, but restoring your former peak state won't be far off."
"Really?"
The elders were overjoyed. The battle in the Dragon Domain made them feel the twilight of heroes, as if abandoned by the times, and even somewhat disheartened, hoping to find a chance to die in battle to make a final contribution to the Dragon Domain.
Now, hearing that they could return to peak condition, they were overjoyed, almost unable to believe their ears.
Long Chen smiled and said, "Imperial Dragon Valley is huge, so I won't go with everyone to see it."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he looked at Bai Shishi from the Dragon Blood Legion. Although Bai Shishi appeared calm on the surface, her eyes were already red.
Having just reunited and now about to part, she didn't even have time to say a few heartfelt words, which made her feel deeply wronged and reluctant to part.
Looking into Bai Shishi's resentful gaze, Long Chen felt a mix of emotions, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say goodbye to everyone.
Long Chen told everyone to stay inside the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest and forbade seeing them off, so as not to add to the sorrow.
After leaving the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest with Yue Zifeng, Long Chen came to the plaza and placed his large hand on the ground at the center of the plaza.
"Buzz"
On
the plaza, atop billions of blue bricks, runes lit up, endless runes surging toward Long Chen's palm.
A strange symbol instantly appeared in Long Chen's palm. As soon as this symbol appeared, his divine sense instantly covered the entire Imperial Dragon Valley, and the entire situation of the valley was reflected in his mind.
This rune is the core rune of Emperor Dragon Valley. Mastering it is equivalent to controlling the entire valley.
"Boom!"
Long Chen struck through the void with a palm, forming a passage. Long Chen and Yue Zifeng stepped into the passage and vanished in an instant.
