Chapter 479: The Chapter Ran Away

Jiang Feng continued to observe the remaining murals.

He could feel that there was some connection between these murals, as if they were telling a complete story, but he had not yet found a way to interpret them.

Jiang Feng took a deep breath, reached out his hand, wanting to touch that mural.

The moment his fingertips touched the stone wall, a vast and mighty power surged into his mind.

That power came too fast and too fierce; Jiang Feng had no time to react.

His body stiffened, his consciousness seized by that power, entering a completely unfamiliar world.

Jiang Feng felt himself suspended in the void, surrounded by endless darkness.

Then, the darkness was torn apart.

Countless huge dragons surged out from the rift, each several hundred meters long, their bodies blocking the sky and sun.

They fought wildly between heaven and earth.

The battle scene was extremely brutal; every second a dragon fell from the sky, crashing to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

Blood poured down like rain from the sky, dyeing the earth red.

Jiang Feng hovered in midair, watching the battle, feeling utterly insignificant.

With his current strength, he would already be considered a major power in the outside world.

But before this horde of dragons, he wasn't even worth an ant.

Any one of these dragons, if pulled out, could crush a Martial Sovereign.

And there were hundreds, even thousands of such dragons.

They were slaughtering, roaring, destroying.

A thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Feng's mind.

This is an internal war of the Dragon Clan!

He did not know why they were fighting.

But he could feel that the brutality of this war far exceeded his imagination.

Among the countless dragons, there was a black dragon whose body was larger and stronger than the others.

Its scales were black as ink, yet its eyes were red as blood.

It charged across the battlefield, tearing apart everything in its path, whether enemy or ally.

Its body was covered in blood, both its own and that of its kin.

It was like a madman, a killing machine devoid of reason.

Jiang Feng recognized it—it was Kun Long.

No, that's not right.

Its strength was stronger than now by an unknown multiple.

Jiang Feng watched the black dragon rampage across the battlefield, and a chill rose in his heart.

Is this the true form of Kun Long?

A beast that knows only killing, devoid of reason?

The scene suddenly changed.

The battlefield vanished, the dragons disappeared, the blood and screams all disappeared.

In their place appeared a tall mountain.

Kunlun Mountain.

Kun Long circled above Kunlun Mountain, its body covering half the sky.

Its body was covered in wounds, more than half of its scales had fallen off, and blood kept dripping down.

Yet it was still struggling, still roaring.

On Kunlun Mountain stood a person.

Kunlun Patriarch!

The patriarch held a golden bead in his hand, aimed at Kun Long.

A golden light shot from the bead, striking Kun Long.

Kun Long let out a mournful scream, its body thrashing violently, trying to break free of the light.

But it could not escape.

The golden light was like a chain, tightly wrapping around it, gradually pulling it down from the sky.

Kun Long struggled desperately, its claws flailing in the air, its tail whipping wildly.

But it was useless.

It was pressed firmly to the ground by that light, unable to move.

Then Kun Long disappeared, and the patriarch also disappeared.

Only endless darkness remained.

Jiang Feng's consciousness began to recover, bit by bit returning to reality.

He flung his eyes open, gasping heavily.

He opened his eyes, looked at the mural on the stone wall, his eyes full of shock.

He never expected that Kun Long's origin would be so profound.

Jiang Feng recalled Kun Long's usual carefree demeanor, and a shiver ran through him.

That old dragon, just how much is it hiding?

And that bead must be the legendary Chaos Pearl.

Jiang Feng had seen records about the Chaos Pearl in the Scripture Repository on Kunlun Mountain.

It is a supreme treasure born when heaven and earth first opened, containing the power of chaos, capable of suppressing everything.

If his guess is correct, the Chaos Pearl should be able to counterbalance Kun Long's existence.

It might even be the only thing capable of restraining Kun Long.

Thinking of here, Jiang Feng felt a surge of joy.

He had always worried that Kun Long would lose control and backlash him.

But now, knowing the existence of the Chaos Pearl, he felt assured.

But where exactly is the Chaos Pearl now?

Jiang Feng recalled the scene he had just seen: after the Founding Patriarch used the Chaos Pearl to suppress Kun Long, the Beads disappeared.

The Scripture Repository's records also made no mention of the Chaos Pearl's whereabouts.

Perhaps the old man knows?

Thinking of here, Jiang Feng made a decision.

Looks like he needs to go to Kunlun Mountain again.

At the old man's place, there should still be some things left.

Moreover, he hasn't returned to Kunlun Mountain for a long time.

It's time to go back and have a look.

Jiang Feng finally glanced at the mural on the stone wall, then turned and left the Stone chamber.

This trip to the Underground Palace has been incredibly fruitful.

Besides inheriting the Great Law Martial Ancestor's Space-Time Law Inheritance, he also learned that the Chaos Pearl can restrain Kun Long.

As for the other things in the Underground Palace, he had no interest.

Those burial goods, although priceless, meant nothing to him.

When Jiang Feng walked out of the Cave, the sky was already bright.

Then he closed his eyes and released his mind-spirit.

Just before entering the Stone chamber, he actively severed his mind-spirit connection with Kun Long.

Now that the matter is settled, it's time for Recovery.

The instant his mind-spirit was released, Kun Long's voice echoed in his Brain.

"Jiang Feng kid!"

Kun Long's voice was loud, carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and suspicion.

"Just now, did you actively sever the connection with His Seat?"

Jiang Feng thought, this guy is quite alert.

However, he kept his expression unchanged and responded lightly.

"No, maybe the Underground Palace's Seal interfered with the connection."

Kun Long fell silent for a moment, his voice carrying a hint of doubt.

"Really?"

Jiang Feng said.

"Otherwise? Why would I sever the connection?"

Kun Long fell silent again, seemingly considering how credible Jiang Feng's words were.

After a while, it then spoke.

"Speak, are you thinking of some wicked scheme to harm His Seat?"

Jiang Feng gave a Cold Smile in his heart, this old dragon really wasn't at ease with him.

But he had already prepared his excuse.

"What would I gain by scheming against you? What benefit would I get if you died?"

His Tone was very calm.

"Don't forget, we're grasshoppers tied to the same rope. If you die, I won't be fine either."

Kun Long thought it over and felt Jiang Feng made sense.

It let out a snort, and the suspicion in its Tone lessened a bit.

"You're wise, kid."

Kun Long also fell silent, and the mind-spirit connection achieved Recovery.

Jiang Feng opened his eyes, and a faint Cold Smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

That old dragon, for the time being, need not be worried.

Just then, a hurried footstep sound came from the mountain's foot.

Ma Jian and Song Dianjun led a group running up, both of their faces looking grim.

Ma Jian ran in the lead, panting as he rushed to Jiang Feng's face, looking flustered.

"Jiang Ge, something has happened!"

Jiang Feng looked at him, his brows slightly furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

Ma Jian caught his breath and quickly said.

"Duan Zhang has run away with people!"

His voice carried a hint of anxiety.

"We just saw them come out of the Cave, and we tried to stop them but couldn't!"

Song Dianjun also walked over, his face solemn.

"Mr. Jiang, Duan Zhang's group left in a hurry, got in the car and left. Our people chased for a while but couldn't catch up."

Then, Song Dianjun knelt down with a thud.

"It's our fault for not handling things well; please punish me, Mr. Jiang!"
