Chapter 159

"The first demon dragon between heaven and earth?"

Qin Jiang chewed on the two words. A moment later, he raised his head, "Did the demon dragon come from mutation?"

The Dragon Ancestor lay on the sacrificial altar, its eight demon horns appearing somewhat rough, its white dragon whiskers surging with its nasal breath, looking at Qin Jiang with some casualness.

"Mutation? Not so, it was cultivated. Back then, I was the Crown Prince of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon race. Later, heaven and earth changed, and demonic energy ran rampant.

I gathered the demonic energy scattered between heaven and earth and achieved this demon dragon body. Afterward, my descendants became the demon dragon race."

Qin Jiang's eyes changed slightly; the corrosiveness of demonic energy was very powerful.

And that was during the Secret Martial Artist period. If it were upgraded to the Divine Martial Artist, or even the True Immortal level, that kind of destructive power was simply unimaginable.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it could slaughter cities and destroy countries!

If someone could become a carrier to absorb demonic energy when it was rampant, that would be a great merit for saving the world. Why would it be locked here? No, who had the strength to lock it here? "Why were you locked here?" he asked.

"Locked? That's not quite right. Three thousand years ago, after I achieved the demon dragon body, the demonic energy scattered between heaven and earth naturally gathered toward my body.

Gradually, I couldn't bear it and would sometimes fall into madness. Therefore, I sought out the Yu Emperor of that time and set up the Trapping Dragon Array here to wear down the demonic energy in my body."

Thirty thousand years?!

Qin Jiang's pupils shrank. Although the records in ancient books were not clear, the Ancient Yu Kingdom had been destroyed for thousands of years, and no one knew how long it had existed.

If what this Dragon Ancestor said was true, then the time the Ancient Yu Kingdom existed was too long.

What was even more terrifying was that this old dragon had actually survived for thirty thousand years?

No, it had been imprisoned for thirty thousand years! Before that, who knew how long it had already survived!

A True Immortal level existence? Or higher?

To have power comparable to a True God peak while imprisoned for thirty thousand years in a normal state was something even that Xia Kingdom Immortal Ancestor couldn't do! As far as he knew, the First Ancestor of the Xia Kingdom lived for less than ten thousand years, and that Immortal Ancestor should have just passed ten thousand years old, and now was facing their limit.

From this, it could be seen that this Dragon Ancestor, even if not an existence above True Immortal, was at least a top-tier existence among True Immortals!

"Hehe, what's wrong? Kid, are you scared?" The Dragon Ancestor's laughter was old, but carried some relaxation; it hadn't seen any juniors of its race for a very, very long time.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "I just heard that True Gods enjoy a lifespan of three thousand years; I didn't expect there to be creatures that could live for over thirty thousand years."

"There is nothing surprising about this. The lifespan of our dragon race is naturally among the best of all spirits. True Immortal-level dragons can easily live for over ten thousand years, and True Immortal peaks with special bloodlines like me have a lifespan of nearly fifty thousand years."

The Dragon Ancestor laughed, its voice carrying weakness. Having been trapped here for many years, its Dragon Essence had been consumed a lot, and its lifespan had decreased as a result; it didn't have many hundreds of years left to live.

"I am not of the dragon race," Qin Jiang said.

The Dragon Ancestor was stunned upon hearing this, its blood-red eyes looking at Qin Jiang, its huge pupils reflecting Qin Jiang's figure.

"Hehe, I know. However, you do have the bloodline of my demon dragon race in your body. This is very normal; back then, many of my demon dragon descendants combined with the human race.

At that time, there were no irreconcilable contradictions between the ten thousand races, until later, in order to compete for resources, disputes gradually arose," the Dragon Ancestor said.

Qin Jiang's eyebrows moved slightly; he didn't expect that ten thousand years ago, there was coexistence of ten thousand races.

However, looking at it now, the human race had become the final hegemon.

"Then now that the demonic energy has dissipated, why haven't you left?"

*Whoosh~* The Dragon Ancestor sighed, "Back then, when the demonic energy was still deep, the power of Huangtian Shenmu invaded, triggering the projection of Huangtian Shenmu to descend, destroying the Yu Kingdom.

And at that time, I was at the critical moment of confronting the demonic energy. When I reacted, the Yu Kingdom had already been destroyed, and I had also fallen to the extreme in strength during the process of confronting the demonic energy, losing the power to break through the Trapping Dragon Array.

Now, having been sealed for many years, my dragon body has become one with this Trapping Dragon Array, and I cannot leave this island.

However, the reverse scale has returned, and I can slowly recover my strength. When I return to the True Immortal realm, I can refine this island.

At that time, my movements will no longer be restricted."

It hadn't spoken to a living creature for a long time, so it was inevitable that it couldn't control itself. Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "Congratulations, Senior."

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, I actually have something I want to entrust to you. Of course, I have a reward for you; it is a sacrificial immortal artifact of the Yu Kingdom."

As he spoke, a white light emerged from under the pit behind him, and a bronze ring slowly rose into the air.

"This is an immortal artifact personally cast by the High Priest of the Yu Kingdom back then. Although it hasn't been nourished for tens of thousands of years and has lost the faith power within it, it can still release a defensive barrier sufficient to withstand a strike from a True God peak by itself."

He said, memories flooding his eyes; that woman was truly hard for a dragon to forget.

"What is it?" Qin Jiang asked.

"It's not a big deal; you just need to go to Dragon Island and help me tell the current Dragon Clan Chief that I am still alive, that Ao Yun is still alive, and have him bring the Ten Thousand Dragon Blood," the Dragon Ancestor said.

"Good." Qin Jiang nodded, raised his hand slightly, and the bronze ring fell into his hand; a cold airflow poured into his body.

【Potential points absorbing. 46911】

【Potential points: 1286.4】

"It seems you are very satisfied with this artifact," the Dragon Ancestor laughed.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "If Senior has nothing else, I will take my leave first, so that I can deliver the message as soon as possible."

"Don't be in a hurry; I will give you one more thing, called the Golden Scale Bracelet. This item was left behind when I transformed into a demon dragon back then; it is a symbol of my status as the Crown Prince of the dragon race.

Dragon Island is hard to find and rarely appears in this realm; it is usually hidden in the void. This bracelet can give a hint when Dragon Island appears in the world; with your speed, you won't miss it."

As he spoke, the Dragon Ancestor released golden light from between its eyebrows, and a golden bracelet appeared, engraved with scale-like patterns.

Taking the bracelet, another cold airflow poured into his body, and the total number of potential points reached 1968.5.

"Senior is so trusting?" Qin Jiang asked with a smile.

He could feel that the power contained in this Golden Scale Bracelet was very huge; if it fully erupted, it might even be possible to seriously injure his current self.

One had to know that he was already a True God peak existence at this time, and on the Shenzhou Continent, he was second only to the Immortal Ancestors of various countries.

Moreover, his actual combat power, under the blessing of the God Demon True Canon and the Qi King Hun Tian Halberd, two highly compatible martial arts, was even above that of an ordinary True God peak.

This Golden Scale Bracelet was very likely also a semi-broken immortal artifact.

Thinking about it, it was normal; the dragon race was powerful, and it was said that there was more than one Immortal Ancestor in the clan. As the Crown Prince, it was normal to have an immortal artifact for protection.

"Trusting? Naturally, you have the blood of my dragon race; you will go to the dragon race sooner or later."

On the sea, Qin Jiang looked into the distance at the warships of the Huai Country army and could feel an extremely powerful aura among them; it should be that True God Fushan of the Huai Country.

What made him strange was that besides Fushan, there were only a few auras of Divine Martial artists, and each one was no higher than the third rank.

After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't take action.

Here, it was open; if Fushan was determined to escape, he might not be able to catch him.

However, looking at this posture, it seemed that the general attack was about to be launched. At that time, as long as he could lure him to Wanghai City, he wouldn't need to worry about the opponent running away.

When that time came, even if the opponent had an immortal artifact for protection, he had the confidence to behead him!

His figure disappeared above the sea, and he found a secret place on the seabed.

Looking at the panel, his mind moved.

"Potential, Qi King Hun Tian Halberd, add to full."
