Chapter 104

The demon well leads straight down to the depths below; its uppermost entrance is covered by a huge block of black ice, inside which a creature is sealed.

Translation

After several people saw the creature's appearance, they were all shocked.

It was an old ape, tall and sturdy, covered head to toe in snowy white fur, with a serene expression, lifelike, as if it still possessed a breath of life.

The old ape sealed the entrance with its own body; surely something extraordinary lies below.

"I feel something strange," the Black Emperor said, "we had better leave quickly."

The Big Black Dog, versed in formation arts, saw that many ancient seals lay below, surely imprisoning some unknown peril.

"I agree as well," the Daoist said, "looking at this Demonic Well makes me tremble."

Duan De felt along his arm, rarely showing fear; relying on years of tomb‑robbing experience, his instinct told him they absolutely must not go down there!

"I'll follow you," the Yaochi Saintess, who rarely spoke, said, her beautiful eyes turning to Yang Zhu; she would choose to follow him no matter what.

"Just bluster—I want to see what's different about him."

Yang Zhu smiled faintly, lifted the Mysterious Ice with one palm, and instantly a surging Dragon Qi shot up to the heavens, thick and strong, howling toward the mouth of the snow cave.

"Let's go."

Yang Zhu reached out and took hold of the Yaochi Saintess, leading the way into the Demonic Well.

"Woof! Give it my all!"

Although the Big Black Dog was worried, he would unconditionally follow Yang Zhu; hardening his resolve, he trailed after.

Duan De was still hesitating when he felt the snow mountain shake, as if a heavy weight kept rising and falling, on the verge of collapsing.

Using a special method, he saw outside the snow cave hundreds of frenzied Snow Apes howling toward them, each strong and powerful, with boundless strength.

"Damn, they're surrounding us! Brother Yang, wait for me!"

Even though Duan De had tenacious vitality, he couldn't withstand the onslaught of so many huge foes; startled, he leapt several meters high, shouted, and hurriedly caught up.

The moment everyone entered, the Mysterious Ice resealed itself, as if nothing had happened.

Within a few breaths, a few Snow Apes rushed in, but upon seeing no one, they left in dissatisfied anger.

Boom! Boom! Boom……

The Dragon Source Fruit had been plucked a step ahead; hundreds of Snow Apes went nearly mad, pounding the ground incessantly, leaping from one mountain peak to another, frantically searching for intruders.

Inside the Demonic Well, one could not see five fingers before them; the thick, almost substantive Dragon Qi kept whooshing past their cheeks, actually scraping them raw.

Even the leaking Dragon Qi was like this; it is hard to imagine how terrifying this peerless dragon vein must be.

Yang Zhu led the Yaochi Saintess; a crystalline divine radiance emanated around them, dispelling darkness as a biting cold wind howled past, preventing anything from approaching within a radius of about three meters.

The expected danger did not appear; after falling several thousand meters, they dropped into an underground palace.

"What place is this?"

The grand underground palace was immensely vast, its end unseen at a glance; it was a colossal project built with endless manpower.

A thick layer of dust covered the surface of the underground palace, full of the traces left by time.

"Brother Yang, what exactly is this place? Can you finally tell us?"

Duan De looked around, his brows furrowed, unaware of what he had discovered.

"Myriad Dragon Nest," Yang Zhu said lightly, as if mentioning something quite ordinary.

"Myriad Dragon Nest… how could this be the place? Back then, the Wushi Great Emperor, choosing between Zijin Mountain and this, ultimately picked the former!" Upon hearing the name, the Big Black Dog's fur stood on end, terror peaking, his body trembling uncontrollably.

The fact that the Wushi Great Emperor could have selected this place shows how perilous its terrain is—a rare absolute danger in the universe! "Why didn't you tell me earlier this is that damned place…"

Duan De stood there like a bolt from the blue, stunned; he had naturally heard of this place before, and it made his hair stand on end.

The corners of his mouth twitched incessantly, he almost cried, his face turned deathly pale in an instant—worse than having swallowed a dead fly.

It wasn't that they were cowardly; the Myriad Dragon Nest is simply too perilous, having existed through endless ages, even traceable to before the primordial era.

After the Wushi Great Emperor abandoned it, powerful ancient creatures took over, using it as a resting place.

Inside, even a casually awakened one is a terrifying being capable of stirring up a bloody storm; once let loose to the surface, it would surely cause rivers of blood.

"What is the Myriad Dragon Nest?"

Seeing them so shocked, the Yaochi Saintess guessed this place was certainly out of the ordinary, felt a bit worried, and asked Yang Zhu.

"It is an absolute deadly land, sealing many ancient creatures inside, many of them royal."

After hearing the explanation, the Yaochi Saintess's beautiful eyes flickered with a ripple, but she soon regained her composure.

Since learning that Yang Zhu dared to suppress even a Great Accomplishment Holy Body, she knew there was nothing he wouldn't dare to do.

"There's something inside I must obtain." Having said that, he turned to the Black Emperor: "Little Black, what are you afraid of? Don't you trust me?"

"Your Majesty…… damn, I actually forgot!" The Big Black Dog realized it then, and immediately barked: "Owo! You lot, get ready to tremble!"

So what if the ancient creatures are strong?

When the Wushi Emperor's Son appears, no matter how heavenly your methods or how domineering you've been all your life, meeting Yang Zhu ends only one way—you will be suppressed!

Not to mention ancient creatures; even the primordial royal clans, upon learning of Yang Zhu's birth, must retreat and reseal themselves.

Since the Wushi Great Emperor ascended, he has made the myriad races of the universe tremble; to this day, his might still runs deep in their bloodlines.

"Back then, the Jiang family's strong ones, wielding Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons, swept this place clean—do you know why?"

They proceeded along the underground palace, going deeper; along the way Yang Zhu revealed some secrets.

"Why?" Such matters are too ancient; even the Big Black Dog isn't entirely clear.

"The force that was annihilated was not human……"

Seventy to eighty thousand years ago, that force once located on the icy plains was not founded by humans, but by people who bore ancient creature blood.

Humans and ancient creatures have never gotten along since ancient times; their conflicts never cease, and there has never been a period of peace.

Those people whose veins ran with ancient creature blood established a power here, whose purpose was to guard the Myriad Dragon Nest, free from outside interference—one could say they were a scourge upon the land.

After the Jiang family's peerless strong ones discovered it, out of righteousness they wielded Imperial Weapons to sweep this place clean, utterly eradicating that inheritance.

Turns out there is still this kind of hidden matter…

The big black dog, after hearing, couldn't help muttering, colluding with ancient creatures, truly deserves death.

The vast underground palace, as if endless, deathly silent, not a sound.

Several people didn't linger, straight toward the source of the dragon qi, rushing out dozens of li, still didn't reach the destination.

Passing through one underground palace after another, a huge abyss lay before them; the underground palace behind them seemed to tower on a cliff.

Such a huge abyss left people stunned; below pitch black as ink, unable to see anything, giving a creepy feeling.

I've been writing rather poorly lately, huh? No comments at all; if anyone has opinions, feel free to bring them up. (End of chapter)
