Chapter 775
Trampling the Dragon Tomb, the Lingering Resentment of Ten Thousand Dragons
【Ancient Dragon Tomb - Inner Mausoleum】
Passing through the slowly rotating black vortex, the scene before me suddenly opened up, but it also exuded a suffocating sense of vicissitude and despair.
This is a fragmented space, separate from the sea of stars.
The sky was a sickly dark red, like congealed dragon blood. On the land, there were no mountains or rivers, but instead, countless enormous, despair-inducing dragon skeletons. These skeletons intertwined and piled up, forming endless mountains and seas of bones.
Each dragon skeleton bears the scars of ancient swords and spears, telling the story of the brutal war that wiped out the entire race.
"My lord, the yin energy and dragon resentment here are too strong."
The Skeleton Lord (White Bone Ghost Emperor) floated beside Su Chen. As an expert in manipulating bones and souls, he felt a shiver from the depths of his soul.
“Every inch of this void holds sleeping souls.”
"It's alright."
Su Chen sat upright on the imperial carriage pulled by nine golden lions, his gaze piercing.
"The longer one has been dead, the stronger one's resentment becomes, and the more refined one's soul essence becomes. Such a natural elixir for the soul is something that cannot be found even with a lantern in the outside world."
The moment Su Chen finished speaking.
Waaaaah—! ! !
A sudden gust of cold wind arose, and the dark red mist between heaven and earth began to churn wildly.
"Humans...the flesh and blood of the living..."
"Possession...Reshaping the dragon body..."
Accompanied by chilling whispers, thousands of translucent dragon shadows suddenly rose from the endless mountain of bones. These dragon shadows had bloodshot eyes, filled with jealousy of the living and an endless bloodlust.
[The True Dragon's Lingering Resentment]!
In life, they were all pure-blooded true dragons who reigned supreme over the heavens. After their deaths, their resentment lingered, transforming them into the most terrifying guardians of this dragon tomb. Even a powerful being of the fifth realm who mistakenly enters this place will have their soul torn apart by these countless resentful spirits, which will then possess their physical body.
"Roar!!!"
Millions of lingering resentments converged into a devastating spiritual torrent, like a bursting dam, rushing madly towards the demon army in the Eternal Heaven.
"Form ranks! Use Soul Control!!"
The Demon Lord of Chaos was greatly alarmed and immediately gave orders. Faced with such a pure attack of the soul, even those with strong physical bodies felt immense pressure.
However, Su Chen, who was sitting on the imperial carriage, let out a loud, earth-shattering laugh.
"Hahaha!"
"Possession? With your bunch of wandering ghosts?"
Su Chen suddenly stood up, stepped out of the imperial carriage, and stood in mid-air before the myriad dragons' grievances.
"This eternally indestructible body of mine is open for you to seize. Can your weak, remnant souls possibly swallow it?!"
boom!!!
Su Chen's eyes suddenly changed at that moment.
His left eye transformed into a dazzling golden sun, while his right eye transformed into a deep, boundless black abyss.
【Origin Divine Eye - Sun and Moon State】!
"A life-or-death gaze—Stop!"
Two tangible gazes, like two divine swords cleaving the heavens, instantly swept across the countless dragon shadows. Where the golden light passed, life was stripped away; where the black light touched, death annihilated!
This is a supreme rule that transcends Yin and Yang and is above life and death!
"Awooo—!!!"
The millions of remnants of true dragons, who were ferocious and menacing just a moment ago, let out a mournful cry from the depths of their souls the instant they touched the divine light of the sun and moon.
That was absolute suppression from the level of life itself! It was an instinctive fear of the supreme origin!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
In mid-air, countless illusory dragon shadows could not withstand this divine power and fell from the sky, lying prostrate on the dragon bones scattered on the ground, trembling and not daring to raise their heads.
A million grievances, kneeling in a single breath!
"They're scared to death already? What a bunch of spineless cowards."
Su Chen shook his head, his eyes full of contempt.
"Since you are already dead, your continued presence in this world is nothing but a pollution of the void. You might as well transform into nourishment for my divine soul, and that would be a fitting end for you!"
Su Chen spread his arms, and the Longevity Tree behind him reappeared, with the [Soul-Capturing Branch], which was pitch black and exuded a ghostly aura, growing wildly.
"Origin - Devouring All Thoughts!"
call----!!!
Su Chen's mouth seemed to have transformed into a black hole that devoured souls. The remnants of the true dragons lying prostrate on the ground didn't even have a chance to struggle before they were transformed into streams of pure soul light, continuously being sucked into Su Chen's mouth.
"Hmm... The texture is soft and slightly cool, somewhat like dragon beard candy from the mortal world."
Su Chen devoured the million remnants of resentment while smacking his lips and commenting.
As a massive amount of resentment entered his body, the Origin Dao Fruit in Su Chen's sea of consciousness shone brightly, and his divine soul power was rising at a terrifying speed, faintly about to break through that last invisible barrier.
Just as Su Chen was enjoying his meal...
Sudden.
Rumble—!!!
An unprecedentedly violent earthquake erupted deep within the inner mausoleum of the ancient dragon tomb.
A vast, ancient, and terrifying aura, carrying the immense pressure of an emperor, erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for millions of years!
Immediately afterwards, a roar of supreme majesty, seemingly capable of commanding the submission of all living beings, resounded from beneath a golden altar deep within the Dragon Tomb:
"What kind of ants are you?! How dare you act so presumptuously in our clan's mausoleum and devour our people?!"
With this roar, the heavens and earth changed color, the originally dark red sky instantly turning into a dazzling pure gold. A colossal remnant soul, its length unknown and its body covered in tattered golden dragon scales, slowly rose from the crack in the earth.
[Remnant Soul of the Golden Dragon Emperor]! Mid-stage of the Fifth Realm!
That was the supreme overlord who once ruled over all the heavens and myriad realms and waters in the ancient era! Even now, with only a wisp of his remnant soul remaining, the divine power he exudes still causes the void to collapse and all laws to groan in agony.
"My lord, be careful! It's the remnant soul of the Dragon Emperor! It...it's not quite dead yet!!" The Skeleton Lord was so frightened that his soul was almost transparent, and he desperately hid behind the imperial chariot.
However, Su Chen looked at the golden dragon emperor that blotted out the sky and felt no fear whatsoever.
The gluttony in his eyes burned to its extreme. He even stopped chewing the resentment in his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and slowly licked away the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"Ants?"
Su Chen laughed wildly, and his purple-gold blood energy soared into the sky, actually forcefully pushing back the overwhelming golden dragon might.
"I thought this dragon tomb was full of scraps and leftovers."
"very good."
"Finally one's here, and it has more meat on it!"
……
...Boom! B ...
Deep within the inner mausoleum of the Primordial Dragon Tomb, the sky was utterly torn apart by a vast and boundless pure golden light. That was no ordinary light, but rather the [Imperial Dragon Might], which condensed the fortune of billions of aquatic creatures from the Primordial Era.
Within that blinding golden light, the remnant soul of a colossal golden dragon, its length immeasurable and its size large enough to encircle a galaxy, rose completely from the abyss. Its body was covered in tattered golden scales the size of millstones, each scale etched with ancient divine runes of time. Two whiskers dangled into the void, resembling two galaxies spanning a star field.
Those dragon eyes, burning with rage, stared intently at Su Chen, who sat atop the imperial carriage, as if he were a mere speck of dust oblivious to his fate.
"Humans... how dare you, mere ants from the lower realms who haven't even ignited divine fire, devour the remnants of our race and regard our ancient dragon race as food?!"
The Golden Dragon Emperor's voice was like thunder from the heavens, shaking the entire dragon tomb's remaining bones. Those ordinary dragon souls, who had been terrified by Su Chen, now felt the emperor's arrival and let out mournful cries, as if they were crying out to their emperor.
"Ants?"
Su Chen sat on the throne, resting his chin on one hand. His golden and silver [Sun and Moon Divine Eyes] scrutinized the sky-covering dragon emperor from head to toe. The fire of greed in his eyes not only did not extinguish, but burned even brighter.
"Those creatures covered in scales and horns, even if they have lived for hundreds of millions of years, are nothing more than ancient dragons. How dare they call themselves emperors before me?"
Su Chen slowly stood up, his azure robe fluttering wildly under the raging dragon's might. Far from being forced to bend over, he straightened his purple-gold spine, which resembled an ancient divine mountain.
"I originally thought that this dragon tomb was full of rotten wood and withered bones, not even good enough to make soup. I never expected that it would contain such a fine piece of 'old cured meat' as you."
Su Chen licked his lips, his eyes blazing with an intense, almost frenzied, appetite.
"A remnant soul at the mid-stage of the fifth realm... and containing the essence of an ancient, pure-blooded true dragon. If I were to swallow you alive and refine you into the spine of my great dragon, I could surely brew a pot of unparalleled [True Dragon Elixir]!"
"presumptuous!!!"
The Golden Dragon Emperor was utterly enraged. In his previous life, he was the supreme overlord who ruled over all the heavens and waters; even the true gods of the divine realm had to show him deference. Now, fallen from grace, he was being treated like "old meat" and "medicine" by a mere human from the lower realm?!
"Outrageous! Today, I, the Emperor, will extract your soul and refine your spirit, banishing you to the Netherworld forever!"
boom!!!
The Golden Dragon Emperor opened its abyss-like maw, and a pure golden [Primordial Dragon Breath] surged forth. This was no ordinary flame or water column, but a pillar of light condensed from pure "laws of destruction." Wherever it passed, the void was directly vaporized, and even time itself was distorted and deformed by this power.
"Protect our lord!!"
The Demon Lord of Hun Tian behind him had eyes wide with rage. He knew all too well how terrifying this attack was. Such divine power was something that even they, as Great Luo Golden Immortals, could not withstand.
"Step back. How can such a highly nourishing substance be wasted?"
Su Chen let out a cold shout, stepped out of the imperial carriage, and stood alone in front of the ancient dragon breath that was powerful enough to destroy a star system.
He didn't use any magical treasures or fancy supernatural powers; he simply raised his right fist.
"Origin Law Definition: My physical body is the universe itself!"
"Break for me...!"
Su Chen unleashed a punch, and on the tip of his fist, the purple-gold blood energy transformed into a raging dragon soaring against the heavens.
Thump—! ! !
The two forces collided violently in mid-air. The ancient dragon breath, powerful enough to vaporize stars, emitted a crisp sound like shattering glass the moment it touched Su Chen's fist.
Su Chen's perfected Origin Ancient God Body withstood the onslaught of the Laws of Destruction. Moreover, the Gluttony Power on his fist transformed into countless miniature black holes, actually devouring the metal elemental essence within the dragon's breath!
"The flavor is too strong, and it's a bit too hot to eat. But as an appetizer, it's barely acceptable."
Su Chen withdrew his smoking fist, flicked his wrist, and his smile became even more sinister.
"How is this possible?! Your physical body... even an innate god or demon from the ancient times couldn't withstand my destructive dragon breath with its bare hands!" The remnant soul of the Golden Dragon Emperor fluctuated violently, and for the first time, a look of disbelief and shock flashed in its eyes.
"Your understanding of power is too narrow."
Su Chen raised his head, his gaze sharp: "Warm-up complete. You old mudfish, will you roll into my cauldron yourself, or will I personally skin you alive?"
"Arrogant humans! Do you really think you can run rampant in this forbidden land of the dragons just because you have a strong physique?!"
The Golden Dragon Emperor laughed in fury, its massive body swirling in the void, and an aura more profound and terrifying than the Law of Destruction began to gather between its horns.
"Since the physical body cannot destroy you, I will eliminate you from the root!"
"The river of time, heed my command!"
"The Dragon Clan's Supreme Divine Power—[Reversal of Time]!!!"
Buzz——————
The entire space of the Primordial Dragon Tomb froze completely at that moment. A phantom and vast river, flowing from an unknown source, stretched across the starry sky. It was the River of Time!
The Golden Dragon Emperor forcibly invoked the Laws of Time by burning his remnant soul essence.
Splash!
The river overflowed, instantly engulfing Su Chen's figure.
This is not a physical attack, but a conceptual deprivation!
In this light that reverses the flow of time, every living being is forcibly pushed back in time. From the Divine Bone Realm back to the Great Luo Golden Immortal, from the Great Luo Golden Immortal back to a mortal, until they degenerate into an unfertilized embryo, and finally disappear completely into the cause and effect of the universe!
"Hahaha! Before the power of time, your proud physical body is nothing but fleeting smoke!" The Golden Dragon Emperor let out a hearty laugh. "Return to nothingness, you ant!"
Visibly, the surging purple-gold blood energy on Su Chen's body began to dim, and his indestructible ancient divine body seemed to creak under the weight of the long river of time.
His lifespan, his cultivation level, and his physical constitution all seemed to be forcibly stripped away at a visible speed!
The demon soldiers at the rear, witnessing this scene, were filled with despair. The Law of Time—a forbidden power revered even by the gods—how could their lord, though strong, possibly contend with time?
However, just when the Golden Dragon Emperor thought victory was in his grasp...
The figure in the green robe, shrouded in the long river of time, slowly raised its head.
Deep in his eyes, there was no fear, no despair, only a mocking look as if he were watching a clown.
"years?"
Su Chen's voice, penetrating the barrier of the river of time, clearly reached the ears of the Golden Dragon Emperor. The voice, far from becoming childish, instead exuded an aura of ancient, domineering power.
"Are you getting senile? You can't even see what kind of path I cultivate?"
hum!
At Su Chen's heart, the [Origin Dao Fruit] suddenly erupted with a dazzling azure light that seemed to pierce through time!
The Nirvana Divine Heart within his chest pounded like a heavenly drum, his liver brimmed with vitality, and the Purple-Gold Dragon Spine suppressed the entire body.
"What I cultivate is the [Origin]!"
"The source of the river of time is the origin! You use the branches of time derived from the origin to wash away the origin itself? That's utterly ridiculous!"
"As long as the origin remains, I am eternal!"
boom----!!!
Su Chen suddenly opened his arms, and the long river of time that had been washing over him emitted a mournful cry, as if it had been locked up by some higher-dimensional being.
Instead of degenerating, he is using the passage of time to refine the last trace of mortal impurities deep within his ancient divine body!
"You...you can actually ignore the laws of time?! What kind of monster are you?!" The Golden Dragon Emperor panicked completely. He had lived for hundreds of millions of years and had never seen any living being able to escape the erosion of the river of time.
"monster?"
Su Chen stepped out from the river of time, his entire body radiating an immortal, chaotic divine light. He raised his head, grinned at the Golden Dragon Emperor, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
"As I have said."
"I am a diner!" (End of Chapter)
