Among them lay the corpses of many other great Dongyu clans; dragon blood and phoenix bones piled high like mountains, forming a desolate graveyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground trembled violently, and whistling winds swept across the frozen, lifeless bones. Looking up, a vast shadow blotted out the sky—countless wings flapped in a storm of bloody winds, brutal and icy, sweeping over the ancient, weathered Zulong City toward the vast expanse of Dongyu beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far off, heaven and earth collapsed, strange phenomena erupted—immortal techniques transformed into cascading rivers of divine flame, forming storms in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deafening battle cries echoed from that distant horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold! Hold at all costs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if you burn your primordial spirits and your essence blood, hold the line!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not a single step back!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roars of the Zulong clan echoed across this final line of defense—a near-Emperor’s fury, reverberating across the entire battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, the near-Emperors among the ancient demons spoke, cold and domineering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill! Slaughter everything before you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cross this line, and this vast Dongyu is ours!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They will all become our food—food! Then you shall drink their blood, feast on them for a thousand years!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The near-Emperors of both sides stood in confrontation—some directing from the rear, others clashing in the battlefield, turning the void into an alien realm where outsiders dared not approach, not even Immortal Kings dared draw near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ancestor Dragon, we’re about to break!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the line, an ancient Zulong figure coiled in place, its colossal body stretching a thousand li—still a miniature form, after shrinking its Emperor body. Even so, its scales and flesh, forged of divine iron, radiated a suffocating, terrifying aura, like an ancient beast of doom gazing down upon all life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Dao Source Immortal Emperor and the Sovereign Emperor are still locked in battle. Five Emperors remain stationed beyond. Is there any reinforcement?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Zulong near-Emperor asked anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He too was a Zulong, now in human form, standing before the Ancestor Dragon like a speck of dust, his eyes filled with urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reinforcement… The Ancestor Dragon stared silently ahead, his eyes—like formed sun and moon—pierced through the endless black tide of demons, seeing several Emperor shadows beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if sensing his gaze, those five Emperor shadows paused their conversation, their eyelids flickering as they turned toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Separated by billions of li, they might as well have been face to face, locked in silent confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one side stood the Ancestor Dragon, coiled over Dongyu; on the other, the five Emperors, standing behind the demon tide, each radiating the might of their own realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I forged the Divine Blood’s Final Realm, allowing all races to shatter their shackles and wield Divine Blood power. Now, all races fight for Dongyu…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestor Dragon spoke slowly: “Ten thousand years ago, several old friends sacrificed their lives to buy us ten thousand years of future. Now, it is my turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His colossal body trembled slightly—and instantly, heaven and earth resonated, unleashing a powerful, terrifying aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That aura surged past the line, engulfing the entire battlefield. In an instant, countless ancient demons, locked in frenzied combat, were crushed by the dragon’s might. They snapped out of their bloodlust, trembling violently, seized by soul-deep terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the ancient demons’ bloodline was no weaker than the dragon’s—some even stronger—and normally immune to dragon suppression, now they felt as if facing their primordial predator, shivering uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that single moment of pressure, countless ancient demons bowed their heads, while the defenders seized the chance to slaughter them—thousands fell in an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment the pressure spread, the five Emperors behind the demon tide struck, swiftly veiling the battlefield like a thin gauze, obscuring the dragon’s aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old mud-eel, you finally couldn’t hold back, eh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the demon tide, the five Demon Emperor Lords gazed coldly at the strongest dragon in heaven and earth, their eyes filled with mockery, killing intent, and greedy appreciation for a delicacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who will slay it? The Dongyu’s thousand clans get half a percent more share!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yanmo Emperor Lord spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, the Ancestor Dragon of Dongyu was worth only half a percent of the spoils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since none of you will move, then let the Nijing Clan take it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nearby Demon Emperor Lord spoke slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the others silent, he knew—they feared the old dragon’s final, desperate counterattack might damage their Emperor bodies and ruin the larger campaign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yuan Gu, come with me to slay this dragon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nijing Clan’s Emperor Lord murmured. As clan leader, he had confidence in killing the Ancestor Dragon—but he did not underestimate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he called out, a dark vortex appeared behind him, slowly revealing a shadowy figure, entirely dark, like a living silhouette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It radiated an Emperor Lord’s aura—another Nijing Clan Emperor Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the Yanmo and other Emperor Lords’ eyes flickered—they had not expected the Nijing Clan to conceal a third Emperor Lord after already sending two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t smash the old dragon’s Emperor bones too badly—otherwise, the flavor’s ruined.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dushi Emperor Lord smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you care so much, then you go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nijing Emperor Lord snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dushi Emperor Lord narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled, saying nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side of the battlefield, the Ancestor Dragon’s movement sent shock through the Zulong clan—many faces turned pale with dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Ancestor Dragon fell, Dongyu was truly finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ancestor Dragon, why do you act? Have you glimpsed fate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Zulong near-Emperor could not help asking, his eyes desperate and humble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other Zulong Immortal Kings also turned to the Ancestor Dragon, their gazes filled with hope—Emperor Lords controlled fate, could alter their own destiny. Perhaps they had already seen the answer at fate’s end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To glimpse fate is itself part of fate’s design. Those who truly comprehend fate never glimpse it. Ignorance means no change; no change means no fate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestor Dragon spoke slowly—he had not glimpsed fate. Emperor Lords controlled fate, and precisely because they controlled it, they did not glimpse it. All glimpses were merely fate’s own manifestation—cause and effect, inseparable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in such a vast battle, involving countless races, countless destinies, even Emperor Lords—what fate revealed here was all illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You all watch closely. If I win this battle, I will shatter this demon tide and carve a blood path for Dongyu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I lose, I will dye this battlefield with my Emperor blood. You shall fight bathed in my dragon blood, vowing to exterminate every ancient demon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his deep, majestic voice echoed, the Ancestor Dragon moved. The surrounding heavens and earth cracked open, unable to bear the power of his Emperor body, trembling and collapsing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His divine-iron scales rapidly extended—within moments, a primordial Zulong, a hundred thousand li in diameter, head and tail unseen, appeared above the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely its body rivaled the entire defensive line, stretching across heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All races fighting on the battlefield felt this dragon aura, this Emperor intent. They were stunned—but unlike before, this time the Emperor body radiated warmth and unyielding will, filling them with vigor and inspiration, their morale soaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dragon aura spread, two terrifying dark forces surged from behind the demon tide, radiating vortex-like devouring energy—two Emperor Lord auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestor Dragon’s gaze, heavy with authority, his eyes like drenched divine fire, roared—and heaven and earth on the battlefield shattered, torn into an alien realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nijing Emperor Lord did not yield, unleashing his might toward the Ancestor Dragon, then charging into the alien realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their battle, even its slightest ripple, would cause catastrophic casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Ancestor Dragon plunged into the alien realm, several Zulong near-Emperors immediately took command of the battlefield—but they felt the Emperor auras still standing behind the demon tide, and cold sweat broke out on their brows. There were simply too many Emperor Lords among the five ancient demon clans!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You watch the battlefield. My Tai Chu Clan is here too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold voice rang from behind—and two more figures emerged, radiating Emperor Lord auras—hidden ancient clans of Dongyu, the Tai Chu Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the demon tide, the Yanmo and other Emperor Lords remained calm, unsurprised by the Tai Chu Clan’s appearance. One of their Emperor Lords had already joined the battle earlier; now, the Tai Chu Clan had fully committed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who goes next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four clans exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>",1443,"2026-06-20T02:15:44.384Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","78ca947f428652feb9eb9d6ce79711ec60d8cb7495e27fe8666daeefbf610beb","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-928","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-926",929,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-cover.jpg"]
