One could only describe the scenario before their eyes as total chaos, bellow of the beasts shook the heaven, the mountain forest quaking like never before, dead leaves swirling in the air, all kind of creatures running in every directions, if Yan Qing Cheng and the rest knew it was Xiao Chen who caused this mess, they will certainly vow to tear him into pieces. Right now, all of them were caught up in a dangerous situation.

The mountain forest on the other side was in total chaos, but the primitive forest behind the valley is still as peaceful as before. Xiao Chen let the three skeletons seize the opportunity to escape, he stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Yanluo Wang, Qinguang Wang, and Lunhui Wang were each carrying a dragon egg while making their escape without leaving a trace. They headed towards the deathly swamp at lightning speed. Seeing that everything is normal, Xiao Chen also retreated quickly, he didn’t continue to observe whether the Elephans Draco could kill Yan Qing Cheng and the rest of them. The most important thing is to leave this chaotic mountain forest as soon as possible. After all, he was the main culprit.

In regards to Yan Qing Cheng, Lande, and the rest of them, today is an incomparably vexing day. However, for Xiao Chen, it is a very refreshing and incomparably carefree day. This could also be regarded as an indirect response to Yan Qing Cheng and Lande’s taunt.

By the time Xiao Chen returned to the deathly swamp, the sunset glow was lingering on the Western horizon, a large number of clouds rendered the entire sky bright red. The day is already getting late.

The reason why he treated this deathly swamp as his temporary residence was because there is an Undead King here that will not move unless something big occurred. It can intimidate the monsters, making them not dare to approach. Moreover, the three skeletons are more familiar with this area, if they encounter any danger, this place can act as a pretty good buffer zone.

The three skeletons had returned a long time ago, three crystal clear jasper eggs were made to stay put in the swamp by them. They were actually treating the eggs as stools and sit on top of it. They are really…… unique.

Out of Xiao Chen’s expectation, the giant tree that was rooted by the divine sproutling did not wilt and die. On the contrary, its leaves were emerald-green, it seemed as if a layer of faint green radiance was flickering. The surrounding was filled with dense spiritual energy. It makes the swamp around the giant tree full of vitality.

Xiao Chen understood in a moment, the divine sproutling was not scary at all. It didn’t simply absorb the vitality of the giant tree, but rather gaining the benefits together. With its existence, the giant tree could draw the worldly essence at high-speed. Compared to the past, it is many fold faster!

Last time, the reason why the giant tree dried up was most likely because of Xiao Chen and the three skeletons. The four of them drew most of the energy, their demands exceeded the supply, which resulted in the decline of the ancient tree.

Lunhui Wang and the other two were sitting on the dragon eggs, the spiritual light in their eye sockets were throbbing. They were looking at the seven-colored radiance lingering around the sapling impatiently. Xiao Chen spent a lot of effort to persuade them to take turns, they must not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Three dragon eggs were glittering with green radiance, this was a really huge gain!

After the sunset glow faded away, Xiao Chen and the three skeletons arrived at the forest region around the edge of the swamp. Qinguang Wang and the others were not affected by the undead miasma, but if Xiao Chen was exposed to it for a long period of time, he would definitely be unable to endure it.

The shiny sacred tree, and the glittering dragon eggs, set each other off nicely. It caused the spiritual energy in the forest to become denser, the radiance was flowing like the ripples of the water.

The three skeletons could absorb the power of the crystal stone, and the pure energy lingering around the sacred tree. However, they could not absorb the life energy of the dragon egg. It was because the dragon egg contained enormous amount of life energy, they needed to refine it one step further to change it into the pure energy that they can absorb.

Yanluo Wang and the other two did a great job, Xiao Chen allowed them to absorb the energy from the tiny sacred tree one by one, and leave the divine sproutling some time to recover. He hoped that the tiny sacred tree could grow one step further after accumulating and refining enough worldly essence.

In addition, Xiao Chen gave the three skeletons all the remaining few dozens of high-class crystal stones that he was keeping. This made the three undead creatures so excited that they did a few somersault in succession. The more time Xiao Chen spent with these skeletons, he discovered that these three were not lacking vigour at all. On the contrary, they are very lively.

Night time, a bright radiance was lingering around the woods. Xiao Chen split one of the dragon eggs. A boundless life energy spread over a large area in a split second, it transformed into a miniature Elephans Draco. It makes a threatening gesture and threw itself at Xiao Chen. It was quickly captured by Xiao Chen and brought into his body.

After experiencing it once, it was not as painful as the last time. While refining the life energy of the fierce dragon, he guided the boundless energy to circulate within his body.

One dragon egg doesn’t seem to be very big, but the life energy contained within it was immeasurable. After all, it will grow into a vicious dragon in the future! An inexhaustible green divine radiance wrapped Xiao Chen within, it was throbbing like a searing divine flame. The fluctuation of life energy was very fierce, looking from the distant, it was like a lump of raging divine flame.

The three skeletons were a little amazed as they looked at Xiao Chen. They could vaguely see an Elephans Draco that was twinkling with green divine radiance coiling around Xiao Chen while making a threatening gesture. It was swallowing and nipping the life energy forcefully.

However, with the passage of time, the light and shadow of the Elephans Draco gradually dimmed. On the other hand, Xiao Chen’s skin was flickering with crystal clear light. The “power” emitted from his entire person seemed much more powerful than before.

It lasted until the midnight, the searing divine flame throbbing outside of Xiao Chen’s body finally died down and entered his body. His expression became sharper, it was as he expected, the enormous life energy of the dragon did not merge with the pure energy he personally developed. On the contrary, all the them gathered in the “Center Palace Acupoint” ⌈¹⌋ to form into a tiny light speck. One more acupuncture point was divinized!

The “Center Palace Acupoint” is located around the chest area, at the bottom most of the sternum. At the moment, the “Center Palace Acupoint” was filled with a glorious speck of light, however it was not completely filled yet.

Elephans Draco could not resist the Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon, the life energy contained in the dragon egg it laid was also incomparable to the dragon egg of the Tyrant Dragon. One could clearly feel the differences between the vicious dragon from this. Fortunately, Xiao Chen still had two more dragon eggs, he was convinced that he will be able to completely transform the “Center Palace Acupoint” today.

Today, after condensing the enormous dragon energy into his acupoint, he felt somewhat different from before. Apparently, his own life energy had increased tremendously, he could feel an indescribable amount of life energy.

Without thinking too much, Xiao Chen split the second dragon egg. The dazzling radiance of life once more lingered around the woods, a lump of raging divine flame wrapped Xiao Chen within it.

The three skeletons were no longer interested, they also started to concentrate on drawing the energy of the crystal stones. Dozens of high quality crystals were crushed by their spiritual light, refined into multicolored lights that slowly merged with the bones all over their body. After that, it entered their spiritual light again, their spiritual light were slowly expanding, the bones were gradually gaining another few layers of luster……

A dark green vicious dragon emitted a fiendish aura, it walked around slowly in the valley. Its body length could stretch up to twenty meter, it was as tall as ten meter, its body seemed as heavy as an elephant. But of course, its body was much bigger than an elephant. Its neck was as long as a huge snake, it was about eight meter long. Its draconic head was also very similar to that of a snake, except there was an addition of an incomparably sharp horn. Its tail was also just as scary, it appeared similar to the tail of a huge lizard, it was about ten meter long.

Elephant-like body, snake-like head, its entire body was covered in dark green scales, glittering like frost and snow. it seemed very imposing and fierce, the baleful aura released by the vicious beast filled the entire valley. It caused all the birds and beasts to stay away from this area.

This was the legendary Elephans Draco! ⌈¹⌋ Even though it was not comparable to fierce dragons such as the Tyrannical Dragon and Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon, it was still as strong as the Sacred Dragon. However, on this sealed Dragon Island, it will never be able to use its legendary divine power anymore, it can only rely on its brute strength.

However, with its powerful body, as well as its tyrannical draconic strength, even if it lost all kinds of divine power, it was not affected much. It merely couldn’t attack from a distance only, it is still as powerful as a demigod in close-combat! Perhaps, practitioners that haven’t reached the level of demigods couldn’t even leave a slightest scratch on it.

In the dead center of the valley, there is a woodland that was destroyed a long time ago. The forest trees that was destroyed were used to build a simple dragon nest. Looking from the distant, there were actually several jade-like dragon eggs within the nest! The dragon eggs were as clear as green jade. Dazzling radiance was released by the eggs, a green mist lingered around, making that place glow with a divine radiance.

Xiao Chen and the three skeletons stood on top of the precipice at the side of the valley, they could see everything in the valley clearly. The Elephans Draco actually laid several dragon eggs. It was not a question of how many dragon eggs were laid, but rather how long ago did it lay the eggs. According to the legends, the Ancestral Dragon and Syndicate Dragon will make an appearance soon, it is hard to guarantee that it won’t emerge from the later generations of the Elephans Draco!

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”……

The quaking of earth was transmitted from the inner valley, the Elephans Draco walk with heavy steps towards the outside of the valley. After some time had passed, the wail of a wild elephant could be heard from the mountain forest. Not long later, the Elephans Draco dragged a huge elephant back to the valley. It lie on the valley and began to enjoy its food.

The scene was somewhat bloody, it makes one feel sick to watch it. Not far away from it, there were a big pile of bones. It must be the remains of the animals it hunted for food.

The vicious dragon was ruthless, in a short period of time, it swallowed the entire elephant. It seemed like it didn’t have enough yet, it moved its enormous body and went out of the valley again.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chen noticed Yan Qing Cheng, Lande, and seven other practitioners were attracted by the draconic roars. They were observing from the mountain forest just outside of the valley. It seemed like they wanted to make sure if this valley have any young dragon.

Xiao Chen tried to communicate with the three skeletons. Naturally, he needed to talk continuously, and using his hands to gesture. He couldn’t hear the voice of the three skeletons.

“Get down from this cliff, each person carry one dragon egg!”

“Clack! Clack……!” The three skeletons were puzzled as they open and closed their jaws.

“I am talking about those crystal clear thing that emitted divine radiance.” Xiao Chen used his finger to point those dragon egg within the dragon nest.

……

He wanted them to go steal the dragon eggs, the three skeletons were very unwilling. They knew the Elephans Draco was not to be trifled with. However, they were still persuaded by Xiao Chen in the end. They nimbly climbed down from the cliff, Xiao Chen nervously watched the entrance of the valley, keeping a “lookout” for the three skeletons. Last time the three skeletons wanted Xiao Chen to dig the divine sproutling no matter what, this time can be considered to be even.

Qinguang Wang and the other two were extremely fast, they only left behind three stripes of white light in the valley. They rushed close to the dragon nest in an instant. The three skeletons did not hesitate, each of them carried a millstone-sized jasper dragon egg, and make their getaway like a thief.

“Roar……” The bellow of the Elephans Draco was transmitted from a distant mountain forest, it seemed like the Elephans Draco already killed its prey.

Xiao Chen nervously observed the surrounding on top of the precipice. Lunhui Wang and the other two skeletons were more like their a̲s̲s̲ had been set on fire, they increased their speed to the limit. Fortunately, the valley was not even one square kilometer, it was not very wide, three stripes of white light rushed to the bottom of the cliff at lightning speed.

The three skeletons were super strong, they carried the huge dragon egg with a single hand, and climbed up the cliff quickly. During the moment they rushed up the cliff, a “booming” sound was transmitted from the entrance of the valley. The earth quaked slightly, the imposing Elephans Draco dragged a huge tiger that was about five to six meter long back to the valley.

The three skeletons seemed to have lingering fears, Qinguang Wang was patting its chest like what a human would do. It doesn’t resembled a skeleton at all, it was clearly a human with deep emotion.

Even though the differences between Elephans Draco and Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon were rather big, their dragon eggs was about the same size, both was as big as a millstone. The glorious brilliance illuminated the plants on top of the cliff, the crystal clear eggshell was as beautiful and bright as a jadeite. The splendid afterglow was slowly circulating around the mountain forest, words can’t even begin to describe how miraculous it was.

Xiao Chen make the three skeletons move the dragon eggs to the rear of the mountain forest to prevent the Elephans Draco below to notice the multicolored light. This was indeed a heaven-sent opportunity.

After tearing apart more than half of the huge tiger, the Elephans Draco felt something was not right. It attentively walked towards the dragon nest, a world-shaking roar suddenly break out from the valley. The terrifying dragon roar pierced through the skies.

There were originally five jasper dragon eggs, now they are only two remaining. The Elephans Draco went into berserk-mode, it ran around the valley at high-speed, almost causing the valley itself to shake. After an incomparably furious roar, it dashed out of the valley like a madman.

Outside of the valley was utter chaos, the Elephans Draco already rushed into the primitive jungle, all the trees blocking its path was toppled over and turned upside down, the leaves swirled in the air, thousands of beast fleeing in all directions. It was rare for the Elephans Draco to go berserk like this, it was the overlord of this area. All the beasts in the field and the birds in the air flee in disarray, including many fierce-looking exotic beasts.

All the practitioners that were prying into the valley in hope to find the Syndicate Dragon, had the urge to utter a curse. How did it come to this? Who was it that provoked the Elephans Draco, could it be that there was really a young Dragon King within the valley, someone entered the valley to seize it, and was caught by this vicious dragon?

At the moment, they didn’t dare to think too much, they could only run with all their might. They wished that they had a pair of wings, this Elephans Draco was too terrifying. Everything in its path was destroyed, it was practically an enormous killing machine.

Yan Qing Cheng and Lande also suffered the same fate. At this moment, the two of them were also unable to keep their calm. Aside from the vicious dragon that was wrecking havoc, this area was also filled with many startled beasts. Their situation was extremely dangerous, the two of them mixed into the army of beasts to flee.

Exuvia, Historia, Zephyrus, Nirvana, Immortalis, these five major realm clearly distinguished the strength of every experts in the world.

Only people who entered these five realms could be considered a real expert. The realm of Exuvia was precisely a wall that divides the weak and the strong, it was like a heavenly wall that prevents overwhelming majority of the people from entering.

However, bottlenecks of Historia, Zephyrus, Nirvana, and Immortalis were not much easier to breakthrough! After entering the realm of Exuvia, and comprehended the true essence of meditation, there are still four more bottlenecks to breakthrough!

Thus, the gaps of strength between the five major realms were very huge. Very few could defeat an expert that was one rank higher. Moreover, the gaps between the same rank were also considerably big. Such as the junior of a certain realm vs the peak expert of the same realm, the differences between them were like heaven and earth.

Therefore, people made a subdivision, for every realm, they divided it into Nine Celestial Layers. Thus, Exuvia, Historia, Zephyrus, Nirvana, and Immortalis, these five major realms each possessed nine subcategories.

Five Major Realm! Every realms possessed Nine Celestial Layers!

The realm of the emperor, the peak of Immortalis! It is the ultimate realm that every practitioner yearns for! However, since ancient times, how many people were able to achieve this goal?

According to the ranking system, Xiao Chen already stepped into the realm of Exuvia. After understanding the five major realms in details, he felt deeply moved.

Among these five major realms, the Immortalis rarely made an appearance. As far as the majority of people were concerned, they were simply a legendary existence. The practitioners of Nirvana were painstakingly overcoming death, it was even harder to encounter them. It was nearly impossible to find any traces of them.

The practitioners of the top two rank hardly appears on the mundane world. In a sense, the experts of Zephyrus were the really terrifying figures. They could resist gravity and fly freely, control the power of the worldly essence, and possessed various kinds of divine ability. It seemed like they could easily wipe out an entire region. As a result, they were revered as demigods!

Xiao Chen had seen the fight between the Fallen Angel and Sacred Dragon. They are precisely existences on this level! Without a doubt, even though they are as rare as phoenix feather and unicorn horn, the experts among them are not limited to this realm only. According to ancient legend, these ancient race were the offshoots of deities!

However, even though it is possible to see demigod level experts in the world of immortals, they would rarely get into a fight. After all, their power is too formidable, they could practically destroy everything in their path. When they really make their moves, it will inevitably cause a huge commotion on the mainland.

Demigod experts often intimidated their opponents, discouraging them from engaging in combats. On the contrary, Historia level experts were much closer to the ordinary people, so they had the chance to watch their fight. Therefore the practitioners of Historia were revered as war-god in the eyes of common people.

Among the experts of the five realms, the one that was most actively discussed was undoubtedly the practitioners of Exuvia. That is because some of the outstanding youths also stepped into this realm. With these group of youngsters among them, it would be hard not to enliven it. These experts are the closest to common people.

Yan Qing Cheng and Lande’s abilities were around the third or fourth celestial layer of Exuvia realm, they already broke through the first bottleneck. They could be considered one of the few young experts, they indeed had the capability back up their arrogance.

“Immortalis, the dream of every practitioner!” Xiao Chen heaved a sigh.

“In our eyes, the Immortalis realm is a goal too high to reach. However, in the eyes of those immortals, it might be a new beginning.” Buddhist Yizhen appeared to be rather moved, his expression seemed somewhat absent-minded, “Maybe they are pursuing the vast…… long forgotten…… ancient fairy tale world.”

Xiao Chen did not know much about the history of the world of immortals, so he didn’t pay much attention to these. What he wanted to know is, the fate of those historical figures that came from human world by distorting the dimension.

Dugu Qiubai, with a single sword, he looked at the whole world indifferently, and destroyed everything under the sun. What level did he reach now? With limpid autumn waters to serve as her guise, and jade to serve as her bone, where did the Fairy Shi Feixuan go? With worldly intelligence, and quick thinking of the elves, where is the Sorceress Wan Wan nowadays?

And many more figures……

Buddhist Yizhen already got out from the dazed state, the three skeletons were no longer acting foolishly. They lazily stretched their joints, Yanluo Wang even did a three hundred sixty degree somersault. There is not a single trace of foolishness left on their expression.

Originally, Xiao Chen wanted to leave this place, but his keen intuition detected several practitioners are currently closing in. They were carrying a hint of murderous aura, it seemed like someone wanted to kill him!

Everything was for the Syndicate Dragon, there were claw prints of a young dragon nearby. All the experts who entered this region wanted to fight over the legendary Dragon King, therefore they mutually slaughtered one another.

Xiao Chen laughed grimly, this kind of thing is not worthwhile for him to handle it himself. He retreated quickly with the three skeletons, trying to lure their pursuers to the waterfall. They planned to let Yan Qing Cheng and Lande handle them. The primitive jungle was verdant and lush, if one discovered that they were being tailed, it was very easy to break away from them. After they arrived at their destination, Xiao Chen and the three skeletons quickly changed direction, disappearing in the dense jungle.

The claw prints of the young dragon was even more concentrated in this area, the five practitioners quickly bumped into Yan Qing Cheng and Lande. Xiao Chen stood at the tip of a tall ancient tree, he could vaguely see an energy-generated sword ray wrecking havoc in the forest. Soon after, a huge savage dragon created from condensed energy soared into the sky, producing a rumbling noise and entangled the sword ray.

This seemed like a battle between two Spell Master!

Xiao Chen didn’t believe the power of Spell Masters originated from an esteemed god, he believed those ancient spell was a peculiar Heavenly Voice Regulation Technique that was capable of communicating with the worldly essence. Thus they were able to call upon the worldly essence and use it as they like. Naturally, this was merely Xiao Chen’s wishful thinking.

The fight was very intense, rumbling noise echoed in the entire forest. A few purple lightning was actually dancing wildly in the woodland, many forest trees were destroyed by the lightning! Soon after, a light blade was moving back and forth in the woodland under the waterfall like a meteor. It caused the leaves in the mountain forest to flutter about, and countless forest trees to fall one after another.

The electric light flickered, more than half of the forest region was actually destroyed. A few human figures were faintly discernible, there were actually four to five people fighting against Lande, and Yan Qing Cheng haven’t even made her moves yet.

The noise of the fight attracted several practitioners, they were like a tiger watching their prey at the side.

“Rooooar……”

Not far away, a huge draconic sound was transmitted over. The ear-splitting sound wave caused the entire mountain forest to shake, and the dead leaves to swirl in the air, it was extremely terrifying. It frightened the mountain birds, causing them all to soar into the sky unceasingly. Many wild beasts flee in every directions, this region burst into a fit of chaos.

A vicious dragon was disturbed by the fight! It was very close to this area, it was in the valley only one mile away from here.

The fight in the vicinity of the waterfall ceased immediately, three party retreated in three different direction, quickly disappearing in the mountain forest. The vicious dragon didn’t chase after them, it only bellowed for a few times and finally calmed down. The dangerous situation in their imagination didn’t come to light.

However, Xiao Chen had a different ideas in mind, if he was to leave here, it just so happens that he needed to pass through that valley. He might as well go find out the situation of the vicious dragon, maybe there will be a nice surprise to be discovered.

The valley was not very wide, it was not even one square kilometer. The trees were very sparse in the valley, there were barely a few dozens of tall ancient trees. The other areas were flattened by the vicious dragon, not even a blade of grass grows.

1. N/a

Lande the blond-haired pretty boy ⌈¹⌋, sneered faintly and said, “I advise you to leave the forest as soon as possible, if you lose your life due to curiosity, that is so not worth it!” This is the kind of attitude the experts used to “look down” on the weaklings, it was not as ineffective as the domineering aura of a conceited person, it was part of their instinct.

“Thanks for the reminder!” Xiao Chen immediately turned around and left. He was making supreme effort to contain his state of mind! Now is not the time to show off his strength, he believe some day in the future, everything will change when he get stronger.

If he didn’t suppress his power, and revealed his true strength, he could fight on equal ground with one person. However, he will certainly end up in defeat when facing two at once. Strength is everything! After getting far away from that area, Xiao Chen slowly calmed down, the fury in his heart already settled down. He knew, in the near future, they will inevitably fight!

Xiao Chen discovered many claw prints in the mountain woods nearby. It seemed like it was left behind by dragon claws. Moreover, it was a young dragon! Evidently, it was because of this, that Yan Qing Cheng and Lande turned this into a prohibited zone.

Not long later, Xiao Chen joined up with the three skeletons. They avoided the waterfall area and continued their journey.

After passing a small hill, Xiao Chen was able to smell the stench of blood in the woodland. A faint bloody mist was lingering in the forest, Xiao Chen and the three skeletons ran over there at high-speed. In the forest ahead of them, there were five to six corpses lying flat on the pool of blood. They hadn’t been dead for too long, it seems like a fierce fight was taking place here.

Evidently, more and more practitioners are coming ashore to this sealed Dragon Island!

Chasing after the tracks for some distance, Xiao Chen discovered a few traces of shadows in the forest. There were roughly a few dozens of people in the vicinity. Xiao Chen decided to keep away from here, he didn’t want to be involved in other people’s business.

However, just around this time, Xiao Chen felt a nonsensical fluctuation. He quickly turned around, and only saw a white-clothed monk approaching from the tip of a tree. His movement was fluid, and extremely graceful, it seemed as if he was just taking a stroll in the courtyard. However, his speed was very fast. That person was actually Buddhist Yizhen.

Clearly, Yizhen had also noticed Xiao Chen, he stopped slightly on the treetop, and then landed on the ground as light as a feather. When he saw the three skeletons, he shouted in astonishment, “Undead creatures.”

“Master, I didn’t expect we would encounter each other so soon.”

“Just call me Yizhen, it is a small world indeed. I already left behind some marks for my senior brother. I decided to investigate the borderline zone of the Dragon Island first.” Buddhist Yizhen turned his head to size up the three skeletons. After that, he faced Xiao Chen and said, “How did you end up with three undead creatures? Even though the practitioners on the mainland no longer treat them as a being that must be extinguished, it is still very hard for ordinary people and most of the experts to get buddy-buddy with the undead creatures. Staying together with them might incur some inconvenience.”

“Many thanks for Brother Yizhen’s reminder. They saved my life a few times, there are not many people on this Dragon Island, I believe there shouldn’t be too much problem.”

“That is also true.” Yizhen nodded his head.

When the two were in the middle of a conversation, the three skeletons stood there like puppets with blank expressions. Only Xiao Chen who understood them knew, these three undead creatures were truly, too capable of acting! They were definitely putting on a facade deliberately.

Xiao Chen pointed at the corpses not far away and said, “Brother Yizhen, take a look.”

“I already noticed. When I was on the way, I saw a few corpses in other areas too. Right now, the numbers of practitioner on this Dragon Island should be as many as twenty people. This sealed ancient island is very vast, maybe there are many more.” Speaking until here, he turned his head around to face Xiao Chen and said, “Yan Qing Cheng and Lande are also in this area, it seems like they discovered the tracks of a young dragon. Maybe it might really be the Syndicate Dragon. You better not get too close to them, those two are dangerous figures. I also don’t plan to compete with them. I intend to leave here immediately.”

“Oh, just how powerful is their ability? Xiao Chen was relatively concerned about the two in question. He felt that sooner or later, he might have to fight against the two of them! Moreover, it seemed like the time will not be far away.

“Right now, they should be in the third or fourth celestial layer of ‘Exuvia’ realm.”

“Exuvia?” Xiao Chen did not understand.

“Yes……”

After Buddhist Yizhen explained in detail, Xiao Chen gradually began to understand.

The world of immortals is vast and boundless, there are a great number of races, this also mean that there are many different kinds of training systems. Such as the Spell Master that draw the power from the venerable god, the ancient and mysterious Beast Soul Warrior ⌈²⌋, a psychic with powerful innate Spiritual Power and exotic ability, the terrifying demigod that was born from some small clans close to extinction……

If they didn’t have a power ranking to differentiate them, it would be really hard to tell just how powerful was an individual from a different training system. As a result, the power ranking was set up, but it didn’t include the ordinary practitioners. It divided the powerful experts into five major realms.

Most of the practitioners don’t have the qualifications to use these five realms to rank themselves. This was set up for the truly powerful experts, only when one delved into these five realms would they have the chance to challenge the legendary realm of immortality.

These five are: Exuvia, Historia, Zephyrus, Nirvana, and Immortalis! ⌈³⌋

There are untold numbers of practitioners out there, only after they delved into the realm of “exuvia” could they be considered to have grasped the true essence of meditation. It was like a moat around the heaven, preventing numerous practitioners from advancing!

Exuvia, anyone who entered this realm could be regarded as “transcendence”. They distinguished themselves from the others by leaping over the “moat” blocking their path to heaven. Along the path to immortality, the first step was the most crucial point. The worldly power, physique, and base power of the practitioners who entered the realm of exuvia will grow and multiply without end.

Historia, one who entered this realm will begin to touch upon the wisdom of god. Their Spiritual Power will increase drastically, and starts to realize that one’s own body is a big treasure. Comprehending the wisdom of god and strengthening the physical body at the same time, one would slowly discover their body’s hidden potential. All kinds of divine ability will be unearthed with the passage of time. Historia was precisely a process of “knowing thyself”, it was a process of “opening one’s own treasure chest”!

Zephyrus, the Spell Master could already fly before reaching this realm. When one’s ability reached this realm, regardless of whether one is a wise man, a martial artist, or a practitioner who trained in other systems, one will be able to resist gravity and fly in the sky freely. Naturally, Zephyrus really isn’t only limited to its superficial meaning, the practitioner at the level of Zephyrus signifies that they had already attained perfect control of the worldly essence, and powered up their divine ability one step further. The practitioners who reached this level had the rights to name themselves as a demigod!

Nirvana, one who reached this realm will become neither dead or alive, their body and mind will be trapped in the brink of death. They will linger around the boundary of life and death to comprehend the profound meaning between life and death. If one thoroughly comprehended the secrets of life and death, they will become an immortal with one more step. However, if they failed, they might be consigned to eternal damnation, their body and soul will be entirely wiped out.

At the same time, the practitioners who are on this level, their ability are neither strong or weak. Their power is very unstable, when they are strong, they can unleash powers equivalent to Immortalis. When they are weak, their divine ability is even weaker than practitioners of Historia realm.

The realm of Nirvana was regarded by the practitioners as the greatest opportunity, but also the most ruthless one. Those who solved the riddles of life and death will break out of their cocoons and transform into butterflies. They will attain immortality and live on forever. Those who couldn’t comprehend the secrets will be annihilated at this point, it is a cruel reality.

Immortalis, those who reached this realm will no longer be bound by the laws of the mortal world, they will live on for a lifetime. Many different kinds of profound mysteries will be self-taught, their Magic Power will rush forth from within, and divine ability will manifest from oneself.

Exuvia, Historia, Zephyrus, Nirvana, Immortalis, these five major realms clearly distinguished the strength of every experts in the world.

A deafening roar transmitted from the valley over there, even though the Sacred Dragon has lost its divine ability, it is still a powerful beast even on this island. If it seriously went berserk in the mountain forest, destroying the valley was an easy feat. It is hard to imagine its situation now.

A glorious silvery light soared into the sky, the Sacred Dragon flew out of the valley, and hover above the mountain forest while bellowing in rage. It seemed to be searching for something as it kept swooping down, casting its large shadow on the surface. Using its pair of huge dragon wings like divine swords, it swept across the mountain forest. A large area of forest was destroyed in an instant, causing all kind of creatures to flee and yelp in a frenzy.

In the end, it finally arrived above the deathly swamp. The bellow of rage rang out unceasingly, its huge draconic body generated a surge of gale. The gale shook the huge trees and caused the leaves in the swamp to dance about wildly. However, it didn’t stop here for long and whizzed towards a distant place.

Xiao Chen exerted his strength to push Yanluo Wang and Qinguang Wang. However, they were still not moving an inch, the three skeletons which were playing dead on the ground seemed just like ordinary skeletal remains. Until a long time later, when this area finally reclaimed its former tranquility, did the three skeletons timidly sit up.

After stretching their joints, the three skeletons surrounded the huge tree and sat down. They raised their heads to gaze at the small sacred tree which has rooted to the huge tree. The spiritual lights in their skulls were pulsating unceasingly. In the end, the radiance emitted from the sacred tree actually flowed into their eye sockets.

There were seven colored-radiance lingering around divine sproutling. However, the three skeletons only absorbed the black radiance that was emitted by the crystal clear inky jade leaf. They are working hard to absorb the radiance circulating around the inky jade leaf.

That was indeed a sacred tree!

Xiao Chen was secretly surprised, he also started to operate his secret technique to try to absorb the dazzling radiance.

For a moment, the colorful radiance illuminated brilliantly, the glaring fog became denser, lighting up the gloomy swamp. Above the two jade leaves, the milky-white light beam and black light combined together, and entered every part of Xiao Chen’s body like a water ripple. Two portion of gentle divine mist surrounded him, he felt comfortably warm from head to toe. His entire body felt incomparably relaxed, it felt as if his inner organs, flesh, and bones were going through a divine baptism. The purest of energy slowly circulated around his entire body.

Xiao Chen and the three skeletons immersed themselves in some kind of fantastic and mysterious boundary. They slowly and effectively drew the pure energy. It lasted until the radiance slowly dimmed, only after the water-like light wave gradually diminished did each of them wake up respectively.

The multicolored light was still revolving around the sapling. However, the giant tree that it take root on was already dead!

The giant tree requires at least five to six people to wrap their arms around it. Its originally upright tree trunk actually lost all of its vitality, small cracks appeared all over the trunk. Its emerald green leaves also wilted, the yellow leaves were fluttering about as they were carried by the wind. In merely a moment, the originally vigorous ancient tree actually dried up completely!

Xiao Chen was gobsmacked, the three skeletons remained calm. Seems like they already knew this was going to happen, they easily plucked the sapling from the dried up giant tree, and then attached the sapling to the giant tree beside it. The glorious radiance go round and round.

One need not to think much to come to a conclusion, the tremendous energy from the sapling was actually absorbed from the ancient tree. Xiao Chen and the three skeletons just indirectly absorbed the ancient tree’s essence.

Such a miraculous and scary sapling!

The three skeletons seemed like they still wanted to continue absorbing the black radiance from the inky jade leaf. Xiao Chen stopped them, he is now preparing to bring the three skeletons to carry out an operation. They cannot waste too much time regarding the affairs with Gu Luo and Zhao Lin Er, they must settle it as soon as possible.

Hiding the sapling in a dark place within the swamp, Xiao Chen set off with the three skeletons.

The cries of the apes resounded in the dense forest, ferocious beasts could be seen everywhere. This terrifying island was thoroughly filled with dangers. In accordance with the direction he surmised, Xiao Chen and the gang proceeded.

However, even after half a day later, they still didn’t find a single clue.

In the afternoon, after they pass through a mountain range, the rumbling sound of water could be heard ahead of them. A big waterfall that resembled the milky way plunged down the mountain. A large amount of white water screen was hanging down, it generated an ear-splitting noise. Halfway up the mountain, a thick layer of mist pervaded the air. It was an extremely spectacular sight.

People couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, many landscapes on the sealed Dragon Island were exceptionally beautiful!

When they approached the waterfall, Xiao Chen saw two familiar figures.

The exceptionally charming Yan Qing Cheng was standing in front of the majestic waterfall. She was lightly dressed in amethyst clothes, it was indescribably stylish and elegant. It was as if her exceptionally beautiful figure came directly from a fantasy dream. And that Divine Spell Master, Lande, with a head full of glorious blonde hair, the whole person looked like a dazzling sun.

This could not be left unsaid, these two people’s appearance were exceptional, their features were unworldly. They seemed to be a perfect pair.

The drizzle of water mist flowed down slowly. Xiao Chen halted his footsteps, the three skeletons were hiding in the woods behind him. Apparently, they could detect dangers ahead.

Evidently, Yan Qing Cheng who was standing on top of the precipice had noticed Xiao Chen already. She appeared exceedingly elegant under the flowing mist. However, as soon as she glimpsed at Xiao Chen, her face immediately distorted. She didn’t do it deliberately, this was a reaction directly from her heart. In front of this waterfall with no strangers on the scene, she need not hide her innermost impressions.

“Everyone ought to know their own place, only by staying within one’s bounds would one be able to survive. The Ancestral Dragon and Syndicate Dragon are not something everyone is capable to fight over!” The tone of Yan Qing Cheng’s voice was very beautiful. However, her voice was very cold.

Being despised by a world-class beauty, even Xiao Chen was not able to maintain his calm mood. The words from the opposing side contained a hint of killing intent. It made him felt humiliated, if possible, he really wanted to push forward with his sword!

However, he was not an impertinent man, nor was he a hot-headed youngster. In the real world, even if you could not tolerate it anymore, you still had to endure! It is not the time to let emotions affect one’s decisions now. Since coming to the world of immortals, he shouldn’t be making one enemy after another. The most important thing was that he didn’t have the ability to fight two experts at once.

“I am not interested in the Ancestral Dragon nor the Syndicate Dragon, I am merely taking a look around the island. If there is a ship departing from this island, I will leave accordingly.”

1. N/a

Qinguang Wang was extremely daring, it actually hinted Xiao Chen to go forward together. Since they were already here, there was nothing else to be scared of. Xiao Chen advanced along with the three skeletons, walking into the stone forest.

It was really that Sacred Dragon, looking at this huge monster in close distance make one feels even more sure of its tyrannical strength. Its huge draconic body seemed as if it was made out of silver. Moreover, there was a layer of divine radiance lingering on its body, making this stone forest appear incomparably dazzling.

When the Sacred Dragon confronted the Fallen Angel, it transformed into a human body once. Except that time, the multicolored light filled the entire sky, Xiao Chen wasn’t able to see its human figure and appearance clearly. When he looked at the huge silver draconic body now, it was very hard to link it together with that nimble human figure at the horizon.

The Sacred Dragon’s posture was a bit strange, its draconic wings were tightly folded on its back, its rear legs were in a crouching position, its body was supported by the front claws. Instead of prostrating, it was more fitting to describe it as kowtowing. Its silver draconic head was hanging low on the ground, the shiny dragon horn was touching the ground.

And it actually fell asleep in this position. Judging from its expression, it seemed extremely zealous and satisfied!

What is going on here?

All of a sudden, Xiao Chen discovered in front of where the Sacred Dragon was crouching, a faint radiance circulating within the stone forest. He took a detour to go around the silver Sacred Dragon with the three skeletons, they arrived in the stone forest four or five meter ahead of the dragon head.

A sapling that was found growing within the stone forest. Its height was only as tall as the palm of a hand. However, seven-colored radiance was lingering on its only two leaves. The sapling emitted waves of powerful fluctuation.

It was a miraculous sapling!

Even though it was only as tall as a palm, anyone who laid eyes on it for the first time would thought it was a small tree, and not a flower! The “tree trunk” that was as thick as a thumb coiled around like a young dragon. It didn’t give people the feeling that it was an immature tree. On the contrary, it possessed an unyielding vibe like an ancient tree that has been through the vicissitudes of time!

In the middle of the crooked tree trunk, there was a black leaf, glittering with black light. It was sparkling and translucent, as if it was carved out of an inky jade. And on top of the tree trunk, there was a newly grown leaf. It was actually milky white, the leaf was crystal clear, as if it was carved out of a suet white jade ⌈¹⌋. A glittering luster was twirling around the sapling, no words can describe how magical it seemed.

The same trunk actually produced two divine leaves of different colors, it was really bizarre. Moreover, there was other colorful radiance lingering around the sapling. One couldn’t help but think, will there be a new colored-leaves if more were produced?

The sapling was really too mysterious, since it resembled a sproutling brimming with unlimited vitality, and yet it also resembled an ancient divine artifact that has been through endless vicissitudes of time.

The three skeletons looked at one another again and again, then they looked at Xiao Chen simultaneously, and they actually hinted him to…… scoop out the sapling!

Xiao Chen shook his head repeatedly, this sacred tree was extraordinary. If the rhizome was damaged during the excavation, that be the prime example of wasting natural resources recklessly. Besides, they are now on the Dragon Island, where could they have transplanted it?

Seeing that Xiao Chen was not moving, Lunhui Wang was about to go dig out the sapling carelessly. Qinguang Wang and Yanluo Wang was about to move their hands too.

Xiao Chen hastily stopped them from digging. In the end, he clenched his teeth and decided to dig! Rather than letting them degrade it, he might as well dig it himself. A sapling even the Sacred Dragon prostrated itself to worship shouldn’t be an ordinary item. Let’s dig it first and put off the discussion until later!

After an incomparably careful excavation, along with a big chunk of earth, Xiao Chen successfully excavated the beaming sapling. Then he turned around and dashed out of the valley without looking back.

The three skeletons were more like a thief, they followed after Xiao Chen and getaway without leaving any traces behind.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

World of immortals, at the boundless south sea, the bluish-green wave shot towards the sky, and surging forward with great momentum.

Dragon Island, it was like a green pearl in the abyss of the ocean. The entire island was emerald-green, verdant and lush, brimming with unlimited vitality, the tall ancient trees and millennium old vines could be seen everywhere. The howling noise of the monsters rise and fall in succession. This is an ancient island that had been sealed for countless years.

Xiao Chen was holding the sacred tree that was the height of a palm on his head. He rushed out of the valley in high-speed, his body was enveloped by a glorious radiance, it was like a throbbing flame. His speed was extremely fast, he only left behind afterimages in the mountain forest. He arrived at the deathly swamp in only a few moment.

The three skeletons were also making their getaway without leaving a trace on the whole journey. As if they could feel something was about to happen, they turned their head to look around stealthily while running.

Sunlight was blocked by the dense ancient trees in the deathly swamp, making this place incomparably gloomy. Looking at the three skeletons who rushed over soon after, Xiao Chen felt somewhat suspicious. What were these three undead creatures so flustered about? Did something happened?

Even if he was suspicious, it was also not easy to communicate with the three skeletons. He attempted to inquire several times, but Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and Lunhui Wang, only answered by shaking their heads or waving their hands. After arriving at the deathly swamp, their nervousness faded away.

Xiao Chen did not believe the three skeletons were simple-minded. Since that time they pretended as dead bones to ambush Gu Luo, he already treated them as creatures with equal intelligent.

Seeing all kinds of expression on them today, it seemed like they already knew about the existence of the sacred tree long ago. But why are they only making their moves today? Suddenly, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but shivers, could these three really be that sinister? Did they just shifted the blame onto that Sacred Dragon that just fell onto the Dragon Island today, and used it as a scapegoat? This sacred tree seemed…… to have a guardian!

Within the gloomy swamp, seven colored radiance curled around the palm sized mysterious sapling. The coiling “tree trunk” was as upright and strong as a young dragon. Two crystal clear jade leaves of different colors were gleaming with divine luster.

Now, the most crucial part is to find an appropriate place to plant this divine sproutling. If they let this kind of divine artifact wilt and die, that would truly be a sin. However, where would be a suitable spot? Xiao Chen found it was very difficult task to accomplish. The deathly swamp was filled with dense negative energy. Moreover, the miasma spread throughout the swamp when night fall. This place was very unsuitable.

The three skeletons gathered around Xiao Chen, they seemed to be very interested in this sacred tree. The bony claws stretched forward simultaneously, they actually wanted to pluck off the inky jade leaf. Xiao Chen hastily stopped them, they really doesn’t know how to use things sparingly. These three skeletons really make one feel somewhat speechless.

As if they knew Xiao Chen was worried about where to plant the sacred tree, Lunhui Wang pulled his sleeve and hinted Xiao Chen to follow it into the swamp. Walking until they arrived at a hidden location, the three skeletons casually pointed at a giant tree, then they pointed at the divine sproutling.

Seeing that Xiao Chen did not understand, Qinguang Wang simply pulled Xiao Chen’s hand, making him stick the sacred tree onto the giant tree. Something amazing happened around this time, those crystal clear roots of the sapling automatically extended from the soil that Xiao Chen was holding. After that, it actually emitted a bright radiance, and take root in the tree trunk of the giant tree!

Now Xiao Chen knows for sure, these three skeletons must have seen this sapling before. Otherwise, how would they know so much regarding its magical properties.

Multicolored radiance curled up, the dense demonic aura was no longer present in the gloomy woodland. A palm-sized sapling actually made this place lighten up.

And just around this time, a burst of draconic roar could be heard from a few miles away. Xiao Chen jumped above the crown of an enormous ancient tree to survey the distant from an elevated position. He discovered the origin of the voice was really from the valley where they excavated the sapling earlier. It seemed like the Sacred Dragon ran into some trouble, the draconic roars pierced through the skies.

The three skeletons in the deathly swamp quickly separated from one another by mutual understanding. They conveniently lay beside a pile of white bones in the swamp, not even moving an inch, acting as if they were just ordinary skeletal remains.

Seeing all of these, Xiao Chen was dumbstruck, these three skeletons were actually playing dead. At the same time, it became obvious that his speculation was right on the mark. The three skeletons already knew about the existence of the divine sproutling, it seems like they really used the Sacred Dragon as a scapegoat this time…… these three sinister skeletons were really scheming……

The Sacred Dragon continuously fired off its spell, one after another dazzling radiance lit up in the sky. At the same time, its pair of wings were like two huge divine swords slashing vertically in the air, pitting itself against the Fallen Angel.

A terrifying power fluctuated violently, everyone on the ground could clearly feel that, this was definitely a spectacular battle!

After hearing Buddhist Yizhen’s explanation in a low voice, Xiao Chen had roughly understood the circumstances of these Fallen Angel.

Fallen Angels were an ancient race whose strength almost rivalled that of the gods. Even though their population was as rare as phoenix feather and unicorn horn, their military power was incomparably strong. Some experts among them could even be considered an esteemed god!

Many of the weak races in the world of immortals treated them as if they were gods. This caused some dismay for the esteemed gods of some exotic tribes. Rumor has it that they were almost exterminated, it has already been a few centuries since they made an appearance in the mainland.

An ancient deity clan!

The more Xiao Chen learned, the more mysterious the world of immortals appeared to him.

“The fight between two demigod-like existence are actually this intense!” Buddhist Yizhen was deeply moved.

Yaluo De, the young expert from Jungle Tribe, said in a surprise, “The Sacred Dragon is obviously no match for the Fallen Angel, her strategy is very cruel indeed. It was her who forced the Sacred Dragon here, perhaps she wanted to banish it to the Dragon Island!”

Chaos, the three meter tall young expert from Barbarian Tribe, nodded in agreement and said, “That must be it, even if the Winged Dragon race hasn’t been sealed. As long as they fell into the Dragon Island, they will also lose their divine ability eternally!”

“Roar……” The Sacred Dragon growled unceasingly. In the end, it actually transform into a human body. Crossing the glittering fog that spiralled around the entire sky, it engaged in a fierce fight with the Fallen Angel within the bright fog. The terrifying fluctuation of energy encompassed every directions. It seems many of the dragons on the Dragon Island finally noticed the disturbance, the bellow of dragons could be heard from the depths of the island.

In the end, the Sacred Dragon was forced to revert back to its huge draconic body. It let out an extremely angry roar as it fell towards the Dragon Island. Its pair of wings were wounded by the huge energy broadsword of the Fallen Angel. At the same time, it received a large-scale dark energy attack on its body.

The fight was concluded with this, the few people who observed the fight knew, once the Sacred Dragon entered the Dragon Island, it will lose its divine ability forever. From now on, it will lose its divinity and exhibit more of its beastly nature.

The Fallen Angel also didn’t dare to approach the Dragon Island. After achieving victory, she transformed into black light and disappeared beyond the horizon.

A long time later, there was still not a single sound to be heard from the coconut grove. This kind of fight between demigods clearly made the few onlookers incomparably shocked.

The tall and strong expert with a steel-like body from Barbarian Tribe, Chaos, was the first to speak, “Demigod is indeed demigod!” After that, he faced Yan Qing Cheng, Lande, and Yizhen, and said to the three of them, “Since everyone already reached the Dragon Island safe and sound, we will go our separate way from now on. I will go with Yaluo De.”

The expert from Jungle Tribe, Yaluo De, nodded his head slightly as he faced Yan Qing Cheng and the other two. Then he took large strides towards the depths of the island with Chaos. One was three meter tall and looked as sturdy as a gigantic ape, while the other had a frail body that was as fragile as a willow tree. It was a very bizarre combination, but the Barbarian Tribe and Jungle Tribe had been close friends for many generations. Moreover, their ability have a huge compatibility. So it doesn’t appear weird even if they walked together.

Xiao Chen laughed at himself mockingly, the two who just left seemed to have completely ignored him.

The Western Spell Master, Lande, who was as bright as a golden sun, faced Buddhist Yizhen and said with a faint smile, “Master Yizhen, I decided to form a party with Fairy Qing Cheng, will you join us?”

The peerless Yan Qing Cheng also revealed a smile that was sufficient to drive every living things crazy as she said, “Senior brother Yizhen, if you join us, the three of us will certainly be benefited greatly.”

Buddhist Yizhen came from the Bodhidharma’s faction. Since Laozi, Gautama, and various other powerful experts disappeared, Bodhidharma had already become the most renowned expert in the East. Even the immortal Undying Demon King, Pavilon, doesn’t dare to rashly point his sword at Bodhidharma. The people from Bodhidharma’s faction would naturally be regarded as important as well.

“Heh heh, no need. One of my senior brother might come to Dragon Island too, I better wait for him at the coast for a few days first.”

“If that is the case, we will go ahead first.” Lande and Yan Qing Cheng waved at Yizhen, and disappeared in the depths of the coconut grove. They seemed to have forgotten about Xiao Chen’s existence.

Xiao Chen only laughed at himself without saying a single word. In reality, strength represented everything. If only he was a famous expert whose name has shaken the heavens, nobody would dare to act so disrespectful towards him. However, he will never indulge in self-pity. Only time will testify everything, it is hard to say who will become the invincible expert in the end.

After gathering enough sea salt, Xiao Chen parted with Buddhist Yizhen who was still waiting at the coast. He must dispose of Gu Luo and Zhao Lin Er as soon as possible, so as to avoid any unforeseen event to happen. Even demigod like the Fallen Angel and Sacred Dragon have appeared, one can imagine just how chaotic the Dragon Island will inevitably become. In just a few more days, there will certainly be a large quantities of experts hurried over in succession to fight over the Ancestral Dragon and Syndicate Dragon King. This place will turn into a war zone!

As soon as he got close to the deathly swamp, the three skeletons; Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and Lunhui Wang, came out of the jungle without making any sound. These three undead creatures had really taken Xiao Chen as their companion.

In his amazement, Xiao Chen discovered that the three skeletons seemed like they wanted to transmit some kind of message to him. Their jaws opened and closed, generating a clacking sound unceasingly. They used their snow-white bony claws to gestures simultaneously. At last, they even pulled him along a certain direction. Their speed were so fast, it was as if they were flying.

Could it be that they already found Zhao Lin Er and Gu Luo? Xiao Chen quickly thought about this kind of possibility.

Passing through the dense mountain forest, moving forward for roughly three miles, the three skeletons brought Xiao Chen before a valley. He had never come to this place previously. Relatively speaking, that was an unfamiliar place to him.

In the surrounding of the valley, even though the forest was very dense, there was rarely any ferocious beasts roaming about. Relying on his common sense, Xiao Chen concluded that a terrifying beast must be dwelling nearby. After carefully surveying his surrounding, he discovered quite a few claw prints outside of the valley. They seemed to be…… the claw prints of a dragon!

Within the valley was a wide expanse of stone forest, there was no hint of any vegetation. Apart from the entrance, all the other sides were all precipitous stone wall. Xiao Chen’s sharp intuition perceived a formidable dragon aura.

Lunhui Wang used its bony claw to hint Xiao Chen to look forward. Within that incomparably wide stone forest, a supreme huge silver monster was prostrating there!

That was…… a dragon!

Even though he cannot see the entire body, he felt a sense of déjà vu. Xiao Chen took a moment to recall, it might possibly be the Sacred Dragon that was fighting with the Fallen Angel earlier! He could hear the faintly discernible light snores of the dragon, that huge silver dragon seemed to be fast asleep.

1. N/a

The fourth person was a tall and handsome youngster. It was the young expert who was flying in the sky earlier. His seemed to be roughly twenty or so years old, his long golden hair was as bright and beautiful as a golden flame. And his skin was so pretty, it was as if it was finely crafted out of precious jade. His entire person emitted a noble aura, even if he was standing in a sea of people, it still wouldn’t take a long time for people to start noticing him, because he was as bright as a golden sun.

Buddhist Yizhen whispered, “Lande, a young expert from the Western clan. He is a Divine Spell Master, this kind of practitioner is also known as Spell Master. It is said that they can borrow the power from their venerable god.”

Xiao Chen was very envious of Spell Master Lande’s ability to fly in the sky. As a Martial Artist himself, he wanted to ride the wind and fly in the sky. The path ahead is extremely long and complicated.

When both parties already gathered together, Buddhist Yizhen laughed as he introduced, “Allow me to introduce a new friend to everyone, this is Xiao Chen who came from the human world.”

The four who just entered the coconut grove were astonished, they gazed at Xiao Chen with amazement.

Xiao Chen knew they have misunderstood, so he explained, “I didn’t distort the dimension and come here by myself, it was only an accident that I was brought here.”

As soon as the four heard the brief explanation, their expression loosened and no longer paying attention to Xiao Chen. Evidently, the four didn’t care about Xiao Chen, they were not as friendly as Buddhist Yizhen. They didn’t even bother to say as much as a single word to him.

Xiao Chen laughed at himself mockingly, the world of immortals was just like the human world. Without any background, nobody would pay much attention to you.

“Roar……”

An ear-splitting dragon roar resounded from the depths of the ocean. That roar resembled the rumble of the thunder. The sea waves rise and fall violently, two distant big ships on the sea quickly fell apart. A huge draconic figure could be seen rampaging over there, it destroyed the ships as easily as breaking a dried up rotten stick.

“Those are our ships!” Chaos, the young expert from the Barbarian Tribe shouted angrily, the muscles on his entire body tightly packed together. He was emitting a dangerous beastly aura.

“The distance is too far, our people might not make it to the coast. It will be somewhat troublesome to leave this island hereafter.” The voice of the young expert from the Jungle Tribe, Yaluo De, was very easy-going. He doesn’t seem to feel anxious at all.

Buddhist Yizhen looked at the huge draconic figure in the ocean and said, “Not long later, there will be even more practitioners coming to this Dragon Island. At that time, we can ask them to give us a ride.”

“Roar…… Roar……”

Everyone slowly started to feel that something is fishy, the Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon already disappeared in the ocean a while ago, but the roar of a dragon could be heard from time to time. Moreover, the voice seemed a little different from that overlord of the ocean.

The white-clothed Buddhist Yizhen pointed his finger at a distant sky and shouted in surprise, “There’s an expert brawling with a dragon!”

The few young experts at the coast were incomparably shocked!

At a distant horizon, one dragon was spiralling in the sky while engaging in a fierce fight with a human figure. A dazzling divine radiance burst forth from time to time.

An expert capable of fighting against a dragon, even if one was not a god, they shouldn’t be too far behind!

The fight in the sky was very intense, one bright rays of light break out one after another. One man and one dragon gradually get closer to the island from the distant sky. They can see the battle progress clearly now.

That is a Winged Dragon, it could stretch up to fifteen meter. The dragon scales all over its body were flickering with glorious radiance. It was emitting an unearthly pressure, as soon as the Winged Dragon get close to the island, the beastly roar in borderline zone of the island immediately faded away.

This was absolutely one formidable beast, its pair of draconic wings could stretch up to thirty meter when unfolded. Its wide shadow covered an extensive amount of land, the gale generated by its flapping wings could even be felt on the surface.

What makes Xiao Chen the most baffled was that, this silver dragon that emitted divine radiance was able to freely use its divine ability. It seemed like this dragon was different from the rest of the sealed dragon races.

One after another terrifying lightning shoot out from its mouth frenzily. The rumbling of the thunders resounded throughout the horizon, it was truly ear-splitting.The terrifying electric light interlinked in the sky, covering the entire sky with frightening lightning!

In addition, the Winged Dragon also discharged its sacred fire unceasingly, filling the entire sky with raging flames. The raging flames seemed like it would burn the void itself. The entire sky was transformed into a sea of flames, spreading a terrifying aura over a vast expanse!

“Master Yizhen, didn’t you say all the dragon races had been sealed? How come that Winged Dragon can use its divine ability freely?” Xiao Chen couldn’t help but ask.

“Winged Dragon? I haven’t heard that name in a long time, I nearly forget its name.” Yizhen explained while looking at the fight in the sky, “At present, on the vast and boundless mainland, they already become the trademark of the dragon races. The ordinary people just called it ‘dragon’. I forgot to tell you, they are the only dragon race that has not been sealed. They are one of the strongest creature on the mainland now. A fully grown Winged Dragon is as powerful as a Demigod. However, their population is really small, it is very rare to encounter them.”

According to Xiao Chen’s knowledge, among the ancient dragon race, the Winged Dragon was far from the strongest species. And yet, they still possessed such unreasonable strength, then just how formidable would a genuine powerful ancient dragon race be? But the other dragon races had been sealed, the only Winged Dragon race that had been exempted turned into the ‘dragon’ in ordinary people’s eyes.

Buddhist Yizhen continued, “The Winged Dragons can also be divided into a few type, such as the Black Dragon, the Sacred Dragon, the Golden Dragon, and so on. Apparently, they are originated from the Western Clan, you can inquire from Spell Master Lande. Surely, he should know more than me.”

The golden-haired youth, Lande, was very handsome, he was as dazzling as a golden sun. His sapphire-colored eyes swept Xiao Chen a glance, whether it was because the fight in the sky was too fascinating, or he thought it was not worth the time explaining to Xiao Chen, his expression was somewhat cold.

“The human figure that is fighting with the Sacred Dragon is actually a Fallen Angel!” Yaluo De from the Jungle Tribe involuntarily shouted, “Fallen Angel didn’t made an appearance in the world for more than a few centuries already, I didn’t expect we could catch a glimpse of their figure here!”

The Sacred Dragon’s huge body was flickering with holy radiance from beginning to end, and the human figure that was fighting with it was covered by a black fog. Only now did the few people on the ground see her true body clearly.

Her long jet-black hair fluttered like a waterfall, even though they could not see her appearance clearly, her devilish-like figure was really exceedingly enticing.

Half of her exquisite body was naked, and the other half was covered by an almost transparent black clothing. Her outstanding twin peaks, her slim waist, her perfectly round buttocks, her slender snow-white legs. Her beauty was out of the world, all living things who gazed her would turn upside down.

Of course, the thing that drew the most attention was that angel’s elegant and delicate back. There was actually a pair of black wings growing from her back. As she emitted waves after waves of dark radiance, a powerful energy fluctuation raged in the sky. It actually extinguished the thunders and raging flames coming straight at her.

The Fallen Angel’s strength was formidable, at the same time, her posture was very elegant. Even though she was in the middle of an intense fight, the way she linked up various kind of fighting styles was like a beautiful black swan dancing gracefully in the sky.

The huge Sacred Dragon actually didn’t dominate the fight. On the contrary, it was being suppressed by the beautiful Fallen Angel. Her pair of slender lily-white hands were holding a huge ten meter long energy broadsword. A black fog drifted about, the sword ray suddenly exploded, illuminating the entire sky.

“Exotic tribe…… venerable gods?”

“Right, in the future you might see a giant as tall as twenty meter, a perfect entity that has life span of more than thousand years, as well as races that are born with a pair of wings.”

Xiao Chen suddenly asked, “How did the legendary Bodhidharma, Dugu Qiubai, Lang Fan Yun, and the rest fare with the god?”

Yizhen nodded his head and said, “These outstanding figures that broke the boundaries between life and death, perhaps they can already be considered gods a long time ago.”

“Master Yizhen, may I be a little bold to ask, do you have some important business on this Dragon Island?”

Yizhen laughed as he said, “I dare not to claim myself as a master, just call me Yizhen. I came here to try my luck, to see whether or not I can find the ancestral dragon.”

Xiao Chen exposed an astonished expression, he asked somewhat hesitantly, “Ancestral Dragon? Could you be referring to the totem of the human world? Aren’t those just an imaginary existence from the legend?”

The so-called Ancestral Dragon was the legendary Divine Dragon in the human world. Since the ancient time, the imperial household had always considered oneself as the descendant of the Divine Dragon. However, the Divine Dragon had never made an appearance in the real world once. Unlike the Tyrannical Dragon, Winged Dragon, Thunder Dragon, and so on that once existed in this world. The later generation believed it was nothing more than a fictional existence.

Buddhist Yizhen said seriously, “The Ancestral Dragon really existed, but it seems like there can only be one in existence in a single era. There had never been two in existence at the same time. It is the king among dragons, perhaps it was given birth by the Tyrannical Dragon, or maybe the Saber Dragon…… any dragon had the possibility to give birth to it. Since it was an infant, it struggled amongst the group of young dragons, constantly transforming itself, changing its original form, until it defeated a great number of dragons, and transform into the Ancestral Five-Clawed Dragon.”

“If that is the case, then the Ancestral Dragon was not birthed from the nature. It was transformed from one of the thousands of dragon after it rise above the others in a continuous struggle?”

“That’s right, any young dragon have the possibility of transforming into the Ancestral Dragon! However, the real Ancestral Dragon was already determined since infancy. It possesses extraordinary gifts and is easy to identify.” Buddhist Yizhen gazed at the Dragon Island and continued, “The prophet from every clan in the mainland had predicted, an Ancestral Dragon will be born on the Dragon Island. The seal on the Dragon Island might possibly be broken by its existence.” ⌈¹⌋

The Dragon Island, as the name implies, it was the dwelling of numerous dragons. Many ancient dragon races were sealed on this island, it met all the requirements to bring about the Ancestral Dragon.

If the ancient dragon race were not suppressed, they could even confront a god! Then that legendary Ancestral Dragon…… will be even more frightening! If that was the case, it was easy to imagine why Wang Zi Feng and Gu Luo came to this island for. If they can subdue the Ancestral Dragon during its infancy period, it would be hard to imagine just what kind of future awaits!

Buddhist Yizhen smiled as he shook his head, then he said, “To track down the Ancestral Dragon is simply too unreasonable. As long as I can find a Syndicate Dragon King, it will be more than sufficient.”

“Syndicate Dragon King?”

“Whenever an Ancestral Dragon was born, a few Syndicate Dragon King will come into existence. Their strength is not much inferior to the Ancestral Dragon, they are the best whetstone for honing the Ancestral Dragon. They are gifted with extraordinary talents like the Ancestral Dragon since infancy period, it will be easy to identify them. They can also constantly transform in the middle of their fight. They are the Ancestral Dragon’s most powerful adversary and arch-enemy. There are even some legends of a young Syndicate Dragon King who killed the original Ancestral Dragon, and replaced its position as the most venerable dragon.”

“The path of the Ancestral Dragon is rather cruel!” Xiao Chen heaved a sigh.

“That’s right, it is very cruel. Otherwise it wouldn’t have to strength to combat the gods!”

Xiao Chen suddenly thought of something, since the Ancestral Dragon was so formidable, will those outstanding figures who had already achieved immortality come to seek for the young Ancestral Dragon? Regarding this question, Yizhen’s answer makes Xiao Chen feel that this Dragon Island was all the more bizarre.

After the Dragon Island had been sealed, not only the dragon race would lose their Divine Ability, even the gods who break into the island would meet the same fate. However, after the the venerable gods left the island, they can still recover after a long period of recuperation. The dragon race was not that lucky, therefore, the stronger they were, the lower the possibility of them entering the Dragon Island.

Besides, the surrounding thousand miles of sea area was also affected. It was a deathly region under normal circumstances, it was extremely difficult to get through. It was not called the Taboo Ocean just for show, only in the intervals of every few centuries would the deathly region around the Taboo Ocean disappear for a period of time. It just so happens to be one of the cycle now, one can go through the sea area unhindered for the time being.

“Master Yizhen, could it be that you crossed the ocean by yourself?”

Yizhen shook his head and said, “This island is a few thousand miles away from the mainland, even I do not have the ability to cross the ocean by myself. I embarked on this journey with a few other practitioners. We found out from the notes of the previous generation that the sea area around the island also have fierce dragons. Therefore, we started to move into action by the time we got close to the island. I am merely one step ahead of the others.”

As the two were talking, a few human figures appeared in the middle of the bluish green ocean. They were approaching this location from all directions, some were using secret technique to move the small boat at lightning speed, there were also some who were riding on a flying scroll. But what makes Xiao Chen the most surprised was that golden-haired youth who was flying in midair.

As if he could see through Xiao Chen’s amazement, Buddhist Yizhen explained, “That is a Divine Spell Master from the Western clan. It is said that they can borrow the power of the venerable god they are devoted to.”

A few human figures quickly darted on top of the beach, they were very shocked when they saw Buddhist Yizhen standing together with a tall and heroic-looking youth.

Xiao Chen was also sizing them up, the few of them appeared to be quite distinguished amongst their generation. All of them had a noteworthy constitution.

A beautiful girl will always attract other people’s attention, and a captivating beauty who can even outshine the beauty of the bright moon, will always be people’s focal point. Among the four who got onto the beach, there was one particular beautiful girl who was just like this. Her beauty was not the slightest bit inferior to Zhao Lin Er.

“Yan Qing Cheng, the disciple of Undying Demon King.” ⌈²⌋ The two were still a distance apart, Yizhen introduced them by himself in whispers.

It was a very special name, but that name was very fitting. ⌈³⌋ Her elegant jade-like body seemed like the most perfect masterpiece under the Heaven. If she was standing in a field of flower, it was likely that the hundreds of flowers would lose their splendor. The amethyst dress makes her snow-like skin appeared even more tender and lovely. Her long black hair naturally draped over her shoulders. Under her long, long eyelashes, her pair of eyes were brimming with intelligence. Her beautiful nose sticking up, her red moist lips, her jade-like teeth, and her unrivalled complexion make it seems like there was a thin layer of mist enveloping her, as if she was a hallucination from one’s wildest dream.

Yan Qing Cheng, it was almost impossible for people to forget about her, such a beautiful and exceptional woman will make anyone who laid their eyes on her for the first time to carve her appearance deep into their heart.

However, Xiao Chen felt the situation was not too encouraging. This girl might become his arch-enemy, Yan Qing Cheng was most likely the junior apprentice of Wang Zi Feng, who was killed by him personally!

Yan Qing Cheng was very breathtaking, and others couldn’t help but pay attention to her. The last person who arrived on the beach cannot be said to be pretty or handsome, but it was just as hard not to pay attention to that individual.

This person was actually three meter tall, he was much taller than any ordinary person. His brownish-yellow long hair draped over his shoulders messily. He had thick eyebrows and leopard-like eyes, his appearance was rough. Moreover, he actually had a pair of wolf-like ears. In addition, he had a long, large and powerful tiger tail. This makes Xiao Chen incomparably shocked.

Buddhist Yizhen whispers to Xiao Chen, “Chaos [Kǎi ào], a young expert from the Barbarian Tribe. The population of the Barbarian Tribe is sparse, but they are natural born warriors. Their raw strength are tremendous, legend says there is an ancient and powerful Spiritual Beast sealed within their body. Therefore, they are also referred as the Beastman.”

Xiao Chen looked at the three meter tall Chaos, imagining his powerful burst of strength, as well as his unknown terrifying Spiritual Beast. This kind of person was certainly incomparably fierce and bold.

The sound of the flowing sands reverberated from the beach, one after another green vines actually emerged from the underground. That was a really shocking scene, the vines revolved around the front of a youngster. Originally, he appeared to be very normal, just one of the four people who were walking on the beach. He was hardly eye-catching, but now he was actually the center of attention.

“There is a really bizarre power at work here, my Spiritual Power received interference!”

Hearing the verdict of the youngster, the few people on the scene creased their eyebrows. Buddhist Yizhen explained to Xiao Chen in a low voice, “Yaluo De, a young expert from the Jungle Tribe. Their tribe have the power to manipulate plants with Spiritual Power.”

Yaluo De had a long dark green hair, even his pupils were also light green in color. His appearance was very normal, his body seemed really frail, but Xiao Chen didn’t dare to look down on him. In merely a split second, the beach was already overflowing with lush greenery. This youth from an exotic tribe had some extremely peculiar abilities. His attacking method should be just as special.
