Chapter 1693: The Dragon Pours Wine

Boom!

An overwhelming pressure, vast to the extreme, filled the space, pouring down everywhere; in that instant, Lin Miao beside Li Luo immediately let out a muffled groan, his expression turning flushed, and his stepping foot froze in place.

Li Luo's expression grew heavy; the void behind him trembled, eight peerless golden platforms manifested, and simultaneously the Myriad Aspects Golden Wheel, accompanied by a booming sound, illuminated the void, its five Aspect Palaces within flowing with ten Aspect Natures and mysterious radiance.

That terrifying pressure was forcibly endured by Li Luo.

But this sudden oppression still caused a flash of anger to sweep through Li Luo's eyes; the Dragon Clan treated guests this way, truly arrogant and domineering to the extreme.

Li Luo raised his eyes, his sharp gaze looking into the Golden Hall, where he saw it was resplendent to the extreme, with rows of golden giant pillars standing tall, inlaid with countless rare exotic stones and treasures, emitting pure and immense energy fluctuations.

And within the Golden Hall, there were layers of golden steps leading upward.

At the end of different staircases, there were magnificent seats, upon which figures of imposing momentum were now seated.

Judging by their auras, they should be top-tier King Realm experts of the Dragon Clan.

Li Luo's gaze directly turned to the golden throne at the highest point of the Golden Hall; there, a figure sat seated. She was a woman, her momentum so sharp and dominant that it seemed like a blazing sun; merely meeting her gaze directly made one's eyes sting.

Her body was quite tall, yet slender and well-proportioned, and her figure was plump, full of mature charm.

Her face was also exceptionally gorgeous; her red lips were like fire, her high nose bridge like distant mountains, and beneath her sword-sharp eyebrows lay a pair of purple-golden, slightly vertical dragon pupils, filled with a domineering aura.

She had a head of silver-white long hair, and on her pale forehead grew purple-gold dragon horns, flowing with mysterious light.

The moment he saw this woman, Li Luo thought of that Great Great-Grandmother, Zhen Fu.

The other's temperament was exactly the same as hers.

At this moment, Li Luo also understood the other's identity; besides that Dragon Clan leader from the Heavenly Dragon Clan, Zhen Linshuang, who else could sit in the first seat in this Golden Hall?

Moreover, judging by the momentum the other emitted, her strength was extremely powerful, not at all inferior to the three-crowned kings at the absolute peak like the Light King and Zhu Yin.

And while Li Luo gazed at the silver-haired woman on the first seat, the latter also looked down from above; she did not look at Lin Miao once, but stared at Li Luo, then her red lips parted slightly, and a sharp and dominant faint voice resounded throughout the Golden Hall.

"Li Li Tianwang's lineage, Li Luo?"

Her voice was not loud, but it contained the true roar of the Heavenly Dragon; the entire Golden Hall seemed to boom along with it at this moment, with dazzling golden light flowing.

"Is this the Dragon Clan's way of treating guests? I thought I had entered a bandit's den," Li Luo said calmly.

"Bold!" Inside the Golden Hall, other Dragon Clan King Realm experts shouted fiercely, having not expected Li Luo to dare show such disrespect in this Dragon Clan holy hall.

Zhen Linshuang's purple-golden pupils narrowed slightly, and she said faintly, "No wonder you are a Ten Aspects King bearing the Myriad Aspects Seed; your courage and momentum are indeed stronger than others of Li Li Tianwang's lineage."

Speaking thus, her gaze turned to a corner of the Golden Hall.

Li Luo's vision followed, and he saw with some shock that on the seat there, a familiar figure sat seated. That was... Li Li Tianji!

Who would have thought he had also come to the Dragon Clan? So, Li Li Tianji is the third slot for the Outer Shenzhou Alliance?

And meeting Li Luo's somewhat surprised gaze, Li Li Tianji nodded slightly in acknowledgment, but did not speak; however, Li Luo keenly perceived that a layer of dragon might as vast and heavy as the earth covered Li Li Tianji. That dragon might originated from this Golden Hall, or rather, this Heavenly Dragon Holy Mountain.

Li Li Tianji blinked at Li Luo, revealing a hint of helplessness within.

But Li Luo's expression sank, and he said, "Elder Zhen, what is the meaning of this? Why suppress the Mountain Head of my Li Li Tianwang lineage? Do you think my Li Li Tianwang lineage is a soft persimmon?"

Li Li Tianji, no matter what, is still the Mountain Head of our Li Li Tianwang lineage, yet he is treated thus; this is undoubtedly slapping the face of our Li Li Tianwang lineage.

Facing Li Luo's unceremonious questioning, Zhen Linshuang, seated high on the first seat, also frowned. If these words had been spoken by Lin Miao, she would have been too lazy to care and would have directly driven him out of the Golden Hall, but Li Luo was ultimately different.

"Alliance Head Li Luo, do not be angry. Elder Li Tianji's current state is not something our Dragon Clan did intentionally; previously, the Clan Leader welcomed him with the clan's highest 'Dragon Pouring Wine' ceremony, but Elder Li Tianji could not withstand the might of the Holy Mountain, so he suffered a backlash from the Holy Mountain. However, he is merely temporarily suppressed by dragon might at this moment and is in no serious danger." The speaker was the Eldest Elder Ao Yan who had led the way earlier; he showed a helpless smile to Li Luo.

"Dragon Pouring Wine?"

Li Luo frowned slightly; what kind of damn ceremony is this? If you fail, you get suppressed?

At this moment, Lin Miao beside him transmitted a voice: "Alliance Head Li Luo, this 'Dragon Pouring Wine' is indeed the Dragon Clan's most solemn ceremony. Simply put, it is to withstand the might of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Mountain, ascend the steps into the hall. If one can resist the Heavenly Dragon might accumulated by this Holy Mountain over countless years, it will awaken the Heavenly Dragon souls on the golden pillars, who will pour wine to welcome you. Those who achieve this will become the most honored guests of the Dragon Clan, receiving the reverence of ten thousand dragons."

"But this ceremony is too difficult; over thousands of years, no one has been able to accomplish it. Now the Dragon Clan deliberately uses this rite to welcome Elder Li Tianji, likely hoping to make him retreat in the face of difficulty."

"They still do not want us to enter the second layer of the Blood Sacrifice."

Li Luo's face was expressionless; this "Dragon Pouring Wine" sounds good, but it is actually just a show of force.

"Li Luo, our Dragon Clan's 'Ten Thousand Dragons Ancestral Blood Sacrifice' is of utmost importance. Although, hindered by the Outer Shenzhou Alliance's negotiations, we gave you three slots, this King hopes you stop at the first layer. At that time, the Dragon Clan will give you some other compensation." At this moment, Zhen Linshuang, seated on the first seat, spoke faintly, filled with authority.

Her personality was dominant and arrogant; she had no interest in arguing with Li Luo, but directly stated her request.

This Ten Thousand Dragons Ancestral Blood Sacrifice was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her; whether she could advance to the King Realm in the future depended on this event, so she did not want outsiders like Li Luo to defile this Blood Sacrifice.

"What if I disagree?" Li Luo's tone held little fluctuation.

Zhen Linshuang rose from the golden throne; her well-proportioned, tall, delicate body was plump and sexy, her curves breathtaking; her purple-golden dragon pupils were also filled with oppression and dominance: "If you refuse the toast, then this King can only ask you to drink a cup of 'Dragon Pouring Wine' first."

She raised her palm, and immediately this Heavenly Dragon Holy Mountain emitted a slight tremor; faintly, ancient dragon roars seemed to rise throughout heaven and earth.

On a stone platform in the center of the Golden Hall, a golden dragon cup manifested.

"Ten Aspects King Li Luo, if you are not even qualified to pour this cup of wine, then I advise you to simply turn back and go home."

"Our Dragon Clan's Ten Thousand Dragons Ancestral Blood Sacrifice does not welcome you."
