Chapter 237: The Battle of the Ancient Dragons

As for it, it continued onward toward the Ice Sea Dragon's domain.

Because as the oldest Ice Sea Dragon apart from it, its power within the ocean was absolutely no less than its own.

Moreover, if it could not win, retreating into the deep sea was also an option.

But unexpectedly, this little episode became a source of endless regret for the Primordial Dragon, because the Cloud Sea Dragon itself was born from Baichuan's experiments, and even though it possessed Energy Permission, before the concentration of heaven and earth's energy had thoroughly risen, it was still pitifully weak against those otherworldly beings.

At the same time, its fleeing speed was different because its structure, under Baichuan's experiments, differed from their Flight method...

Thus, hunted by several greedy otherworldly beings, by the time the Cloud Sea Dragon reached the Sky Dragon that represented the power of lightning and thunder, it was already on its last breath, reduced to a stone devoid of any divine quality.

This represented the Cloud Sea Dragon entering its worst state, second only to being smashed to pieces, which fundamentally signified death.

As for what happened with the Sky Dragon afterward, Baichuan was unclear, because this was a portion of the Primordial Dragon's memories and images.

The reason this was known at all was because the Primordial Dragon later described it offhandedly after reuniting with the Sky Dragon.

And precisely this point caused the Primordial Dragon, who had always styled itself as the big brother, to fall into self-reproach.

Because it believed that had it not encountered the situation back then, and had not given the mission to the Cloud Sea Dragon without much thought, the Cloud Sea Dragon would never have run into those otherworldly beings hunting it.

Therefore, the Primordial Dragon's later self-blame also caused the images recording a portion of its memories to carry a strong personal coloring.

The images continued.

The Primordial Dragon, fleeing toward the Ice Sea Dragon's direction, had only just arrived at the dwelling place the Ice Sea Dragon had once left behind when it sensed the aura of the Ice Sea Dragon having just departed,

and the reason for its departure was precisely that it had detected a familiar aura.

Thus, it had no choice but to drag its increasingly severe body and flee once more in another direction—toward the Ancient Dragon that governed sound waves and raging winds, the Wind Universe Dragon.

And this time, it finally encountered no mishaps; it had merely fled close to the periphery of the Wind Universe Dragon's territory when the Wind Universe Dragon, constantly sensing the information carried by the wind, detected it and promptly arrived to receive it.

With that, another grueling battle began.

This battle lasted a full half year.

Meanwhile, the Sky Dragon on the other side finally brought the slumbering Cloud Sea Dragon, borrowing incomparably violent lightning power to break through all the way out, and notified the other two Ancient Dragons—the Black Dragon of ultimate physical strength and Regeneration, and the Green Sea Dragon of invisibility and deadly poison.

Thus, with reinforcements, the Primordial Dragon and the Wind Universe Dragon, aided by the latter two dragons, finally stopped falling into a disadvantageous position—though this was also because many otherworldly beings had already departed due to being united in appearance but divided at heart.

Under such circumstances, another full three months passed before the Ice Sea Dragon, which had earlier departed upon sensing a familiar aura, finally arrived late on the scene.

It even brought along another unfamiliar "Ancient Dragon" carrying Canglan-colored flames?

With the arrival of two more powerful forces, having gathered such a concentration of strength, they finally forced the existence shrouded entirely in radiance like a sun to retreat for a time.

Later, through communication, the Primordial Dragon learned that the Ice Sea Dragon's earlier departure was precisely because it had detected an aura of the Father God, Baichuan, appearing somewhere.

Out of curiosity and delight, the Ice Sea Dragon hurried over to investigate, and there it discovered a human who, through a special method, was replacing her own blood with the Father God's blood obtained from some unknown source.

Drawn by that blood, how could the Light Points of energy belonging to Baichuan's power between heaven and earth show no reaction at all?

Even though this was merely Baichuan's blood from a weak period, its aura and essence were ultimately extraordinary.

Thus, under the infusion of vast amounts of energy, that human—Zhou Qingqing—finally transformed from a Flying Dragon body into an Ancient Dragon body, one extremely similar to Baichuan's former dragon form.

It was precisely the aura emitted during this metamorphosis that had drawn the Ice Sea Dragon away.

Upon learning the truth, the Primordial Dragon was enraged.

Because the blood that human was using was its treasure!

That was its treasure!!!

In other words, its treasure was gone, gone!

Because of this, even though its wounds had yet to heal, the Primordial Dragon furiously attacked her.

It even declared her untrustworthy, claiming that it was precisely she who had colluded with the foreign enemy and caused it to fall into such a state, and that this human's appearance now must surely be a trap.

Of course, during this period Zhou Qingqing, through her own efforts, barely managed to suppress the suspicion among the many Ancient Dragons.

Because she not only brought a great deal of information about the otherworldly beings—that group of gods—but also taught them various Techniques she had already successfully researched.

And so, she who barely possessed usefulness, while the Ancient Dragons harbored suspicion and wariness toward her, also offered them a sliver of help.

At this point, the entire world entered a brief period of stalemate.

Especially as the Ancient Dragons discovered that their own strength was growing along with the rising concentration of heaven and earth's energy.

Of course, the various experiences and the suffering creatures during this period need not be mentioned.

Because even the Ancient Dragons could not look after themselves, and Baichuan certainly would not care.

Of course, even if he cared, he could do nothing—everything in the images now was of people in the past.

At that time, he was still slumbering, raising the world's upper limit.

With that, another five years passed within the images.

And by then, that group of gods had had their fill; not only had they divided and absorbed those ownerless faiths to make their true bodies several times stronger, they had also left behind a great many Ren Jian pastures belonging to themselves.

When a person has eaten and drunk their fill, they will think of... let alone gods.

Of course, that group of gods was not so vulgar; what they had set their sights on was the Energy Permission representing this world, the crystallization of the highest power—the Divine Spark.

Previously they had not noticed, being dazzled by the vast world and its abundant resources, and having information deliberately or inadvertently suppressed by that strongest Radiance Lord.

But now that these gods had become serious, no matter how the Radiance Lord tried to conceal information, it was impossible to leave not even a whisper.

So this group of gods immediately discovered the Ancient Dragon ancestors who carried Divine Sparks, representing nascent gods.

In an instant, each of them, who were already shrewd beings, knew what this signified.

Once they obtained these, their avatars could completely occupy this world and become the gods of this ownerless world.

And because this world currently still had no true god appear, everything was blank; thus their status and power might very possibly surpass even the Main World!

At that time, they might no longer be constrained by their own Main Gods, and might themselves be able to be masters of their own house.

Faced with such temptation, how could they restrain themselves?

Impossible!

Thus, one by one, the gods entered and exited this world as if there were no one there, only to return to the Main World to fully replenish their expended energy—though the Blood Qi and faith of this world's humans were not unusable for replenishment.

But that was too wasteful; using them to restore expended energy was not only inefficient but also wasteful.

However, this act also made the ancient dragons realize one crucial piece of information — as long as the World Passage remained open, these disasters would never cease.

If it attracted other, even more powerful Spirits, they might not live to see the day they themselves grew strong.

Because Time waits for no dragon!
