Chapter 670: Primordial Time Dragon
Chapter 670: Primordial Time Dragon
There was a chance Xiaolang would advance into the Category Four King-tier after refining the demonic core. Ten days had passed since then. Huangfu Qi had almost recovered, but Xiaolang was still slumbering. The more time he spent refining the demonic core, the higher the chance for him to become a Category Four King-tier.
One day, Little Cat told Long Chen that Huangfu Qi was going to wake up soon. Long Chen stopped cultivating the Desolate Divine Seal temporarily and took her out of the Primordial Realm, placing her and the bathtub on the plaza.
She was still soaking in the bathtub, but she looked much better. She was soaked in the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix. For some reason, part of the blood was golden.
The temperature of the blood was very high. Long Chen felt like he was standing next to the Heavenly Phoenix right now. Most of the Heavenly Phoenix’s heat came from its blood. Thanks to Little Cat’s technique, Huangfu Qi was not burned by the hot liquid.
The green coloration on Huangfu Qi’s skin was gone, replaced by redness. Initially, only her heart was beating, but now she was also breathing. She truly seemed close to waking up.
Long Chen noticed that the golden blood was slowly seeping into her body.
“She’s lucky that she survived this misfortune. She even got the chance to bathe in the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix. It will definitely increase her strength in the future. Also, the Heavenly Wind Vein in her body is decent enough. If she works hard, she can reach the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage, meaning she might become the strongest person in the Divine Martial Empire.”
At least Long Chen wouldn’t have to worry about her after he left the Divine Martial Empire.
His friends were all protected by Long Shan for now. By the time Long Shan retired, Huangfu Qi would become the strongest cultivator in the Divine Martial Empire. She was basically next in line to be the supreme ruler.
Huangfu Fengchen would be proud of her. Even though he has lost his strength, he will probably still be happy that his daughter will become strong. Long Chen knew that Huangfu Fengchen valued her more than his own life, or he would’ve never begged Long Chen to save Huangfu Qi despite knowing that Long Chen was weaker than Feng Xuan.“Little Cat, what about me? How’s my potential?”
“You?” The Little Cat looked at him with disdain. “You have the Inherited Blood Essence of one of an Ancestor Dragon, the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon! No one in this world can become stronger than you, but don’t think that it will be easy to absorb all of it! It won’t be easy to refine, and I don’t know how strong you will become.”
Long Chen had thought as much. If he wanted to get stronger, he had to get himself into more life-threatening situations. Even though his growth had exploded after he gained the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon’s Inherited Blood Essence, he had also met a lot of dangers.
“Little Cat, how many Dragon Warriors are there right now?”
“Dragon Warriors? I don’t think there are many of them left. Most of the Inherited Blood Essence is gone and I don’t know where any of it is right now. Though I remember there were many Dragon Warriors during the Middle Ages.”
“Do you think the Inherited Blood Essence of the nine remaining Ancestor Dragons is still around?” Long Chen was worried. He needed to know if there was anyone else who would become his rival.
“None. I don’t know how you managed to get the Inherited Blood Essence of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon, but I do know that the Inherited Blood Essence of the other nine Ancestor Dragons cannot be obtained by anyone else. Even if someone did manage to find it, only someone at the Divine Martial Realm would be able to use it.”
“Is that so?” Long Chen recalled how he had found the Inherited Blood Essence of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon. Long Qinglan had told him that the Dragon Seal was the key for him to become a Dragon Warrior. The Inherited Blood Essence had been sealed, but Ling Xi had managed to unlock it.
Long Chen was also surprised that he had managed to get the Inherited Blood Essence so easily.
It must’ve been my father’s handiwork. He arranged everything. Based on his words, it seems that the Long family is much stronger than Ling Xi’s family. Ling Xi belongs to the Swordsoul Palace of the Three Emperor Territory. They are very strong, but is my family stronger?
Are there other places beyond the Three Emperor Territory?
“But I do know the location of another Inherited Blood Essence of an Ancestor Dragon.” Little Cat suddenly dropped a bombshell that shocked Long Chen.
“Hehe, Sir Cat, are you telling the truth?”
Long Chen immediately called him “Sir Cat” to butter him up.
Little Cat was satisfied by the sudden change in treatment even though he had intended to tell Long Chen about this regardless. He simply hadn't gotten the chance to do so yet.
“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?”
“Then where is it?”
“You don’t need to panic. You can’t get it now anyway,” Little Cat said slowly. “Sigh … To tell you the truth, I lost to the Ancestor Dragon in battle. It then plucked out one of its scales and sealed me in it. The Primordial Dragon Talisman on your chest is that very same scale. Since you have the Primordial Dragon Talisman, I should be able to sense where the Inherited Blood Essence of the Ancestor Dragon when you get close to it. I can actually sense it now, but unfortunately, it’s quite far away.”
“The Primordial Dragon Talisman is a dragon scale?” Long Chen was dumbstruck. That’s why I can use Rewind!
Long Chen had just learned a lot from Little Cat.
Little Cat lost to an Ancestor Dragon. If he was once as strong as the Golden Crow, then the Ancestor Dragons were certainly very strong. Even though he always said that he had battled against the Ancestor Dragons valiantly, I’m fairly certain he lost in a single strike. If not, how could he be sealed by a single scale?
Also, Little Cat doesn't know the exact location of the Inherited Blood Essence; he can merely use the Primordial Dragon Talisman to find it.
“Do you know the approximate location of it?”
“It’s not here in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. It should be in the Three Emperor Territory.”
“That means I still have to go there …” Long Chen had to go to the Three Emperor Territory for the sake of Ling Xi, Yang Lingqing, and even the Inherited Blood Essence.
Long Chen had just reinforced his resolve to head there now!
“Wait, Little Cat. What’s the name of the Ancestor Dragon you lost to? Primordial … something dragon?”
Little Cat revealed an expression of reverence as he muttered, “Going from the past to the present is the flow of time, while everything above the land is expansive space. Time is the constant that connects the past to the present. From the Rewind technique that you’ve obtained, it’s clear that the Ancestor Dragon controls the law of time, to reverse life and death, to travel from past to present. It is the dragon of everlasting time, the Primordial Time Dragon!”
Primordial Time Dragon!
Long Chen felt his heart beat rapidly when he heard the name.
He knew that the name was missing a word, but he never thought it would indeed be time. The Primordial Time Dragon was an Ancestor Dragon that swam freely in the river of time as it had control over it.
The Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon governed blood and massacre, but the Primordial Time Dragon controlled time! Long Chen had always thought the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon was scary, but the Primordial Time Dragon appeared to be even stronger.
“Little Cat, do you know how strong the ten Ancestor Dragons were? How strong is the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon compared to the Primordial Time Dragon?”
“There’s not much difference in their strength. Each of them are the peak of their existence. Though I do think the Primordial Time Dragon is better, not because of its strength, but because of the law it controlled. The law of time should be stronger than the law of massacre. The Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon became an Ancestor Dragon through its own law and made its name on the Dragon Continent, but the law of massacre still feels slightly inferior to the law of time.”
Long Chen wasn’t sure what those laws were.
“What are laws?”
“Laws? They are the various powers of the world. Every law has its own characteristics, and it’s the strongest power there is. Our strength is based on it. For example, your essence will be depleted if you don’t have nature's spiritual energy to replenish it. Without the laws, we wouldn’t have any powers.”
“Uh … I still don’t understand. Could you make it simpler for me?”
