Myriad Dragons Pay Homage!
Above the Dragon Clan Ancestral Shrine, auspicious omens filled the sky. Ten-thousand-zhang rays of light shot towards the heavens, as an endless stream of dragons bowed in unison towards Ye Xuan.
Myriad Dragons Roared in Unison.
The scene stunned everyone present. All eyes were fixed on the young man before the ancestral shrine. Good heavens, their dragon ancestors, enshrined within the ancestral lands, could not withstand this brat's single kowtow?
What a joke!
These were the mightiest ancestors of their dragon lineage. How could this mere youngster be worthy?
"Look quickly!"
"That youth's aura... it's grown stronger!!"
A voice cried out from the ancestral shrine grounds. In the next moment, a multitude of gazes converged on the little black dragon. Vast, boundless dragon qi was being greedily absorbed into its body.
Following this, its cultivation realm began to skyrocket.
Tier Two Immortal Lord!
Tier Three Immortal Lord!
...
Tier Five Immortal Lord!
After an indeterminate amount of time, the ancestral shrine grounds were bathed in a thousand-zhang glow, suffused with auspicious energy.
This spectacle lasted for a full fifteen minutes before the thousand-zhang radiance dissipated, returning into the little black dragon's body. Its cultivation realm had surged all the way to Tier Six Immortal Lord!
"Ancestors' Blessing, Dragon Qi Infusion!!"
Ao Yuanba, the most powerful elder of the Dragon Clan, stared at the scene, his jaw agape. "Strength surging by four tiers, this!?"
Without a doubt, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Roar~
The next moment, a majestic dragon's roar echoed. Such an act would have been considered disrespectful in the bustling ancestral shrine, yet no one dared utter a word.
Then, a thousand-zhang black dragon materialized in the void, its ferocious head reared towards the sky. Rumble~
Its true form revealed, the heavens churned with thunderclouds, and a primal bloodline pressure permeated the entire ancestral shrine grounds.
"Hiss..."
"This is... such terrifying bloodline pressure, this!?"
Everyone in the ancestral shrine grounds had their eyes widened. Thump~
Many powerful dragons could not help but prostrate themselves on the ground, their bodies trembling under the immense bloodline pressure. Ao Bing was completely stunned. My goodness, this bloodline pressure seemed to have grown countless times stronger.
"The Dragon Clan shall prosper!"
Feeling the potent bloodline pressure, even Ao Yuanba was moved. This bloodline concentration surpassed that of the previous clan leader. The peak of the ninth heaven of the皓月 realm, Ao Yuanba, filled with excitement, respectfully bowed, "Ao Yuanba greets the Clan Leader!"
"We... greet the Clan Leader!!"
All the elders bowed in unison. As for the Grand Elder Ao Guang and others, they knelt on the ground, including the Second Elder Ao Yunhai. He understood that his own meager talents and ambitions were utterly insignificant in the face of such terrifying bloodline pressure.
In that instant, the gazes fixed upon the little black dragon were filled with fervor.
How many years had it been!
Since the previous clan leader's demise, their Dragon Clan had endured endless humiliation, especially from that bastard of the Hongmeng Sacred Kingdom.
Now!
Undeniably, the appearance of the little black dragon brought hope to their Dragon Clan.
Sensing the solemn salutations and prostrations of the Dragon Clan members, a different kind of sharpness flickered in the little black dragon's vast draconic eyes. Although he was an outcast in this world, he was ultimately a member of the Dragon Clan, and their prosperity naturally brought him joy.
"All rise."
The little black dragon's thousand-zhang draconic body flashed, and he reverted to his youthful form. However, by this point, the gazes of the many dragon powerhouses in the ancestral shrine grounds had undergone a seismic shift. There was no longer any dissent regarding his position as their clan leader.
"Yes, Clan Leader!"
Led by Ao Yuanba, the numerous ancestral elders rose, their bodies filled with renewed vigor. Damn it, had the time finally come for their Dragon Clan to retaliate?
To be honest, even Ao Yunhai felt the same. Witnessing their Dragon Clan possess such a remarkably talented clan leader, he believed their clan would surely dominate the Four Seas in the future. Compared to his own petty gains, it was utterly insignificant.
At this moment, the little black dragon exuded an innate majesty.
Then, the little black dragon's gaze fell upon Ao Yuanba, the most powerful elder, "Elder Yuanba."
"Your subordinate is here!"
Ao Yuanba, at the peak of the ninth heaven of the 皓月 realm, respectfully bowed, his movements carrying no hint of slackness. He needed to set an example for the entire Dragon Clan to follow.
Observing that Ao Yuanba was nearing the end of his lifespan, the little black dragon contemplated for a moment before a drop of his essence blood flowed from his fingertip towards Ao Yuanba. Despite being merely a single drop, the dragon qi in the entire ancestral shrine grounds immediately surged. After all, to a certain extent, the little black dragon's essence blood could be considered forbidden blood.
"This drop of essence blood should grant you an additional thousand years of life," the little black dragon's calm voice resonated. "The Dragon Clan is currently weak, and you cannot afford to be a burden at this time."
"Thank you, Clan Leader, for your grace!"
Ao Yuanba solemnly accepted the drop of the little black dragon's essence blood and immediately consumed it. In the next instant, a colossal roar erupted. Ao Yuanba's bloodline instantly boiled, and his strength began to rapidly increase.
After all, despite Ao Yuanba's might, his bloodline level was far inferior to the little black dragon's.
Hum~
In a flash, Ao Yuanba's cultivation realm broke through to the absolute peak of the ninth heaven of the 皓月 realm. With this bloodline transformation, Ao Yuanba had encountered the greatest opportunity of his life.
"This is... the absolute peak of the ninth heaven of the 皓月 realm!"
Grand Elder Ao Guang, witnessing this, trembled with excitement. He immediately exclaimed, "All elders, please lend Elder Yuanba your strength! Perhaps this time... our Dragon Clan will witness the re-emergence of a Yan Yang realm expert!"
"Good!!"
At once, the elders, without reservation, channeled the pure dragon power from their bodies to their elder, Ao Yuanba.
What was there to joke about?
At this moment, they would not hesitate in the slightest!
After all, if their dragon power was depleted, they could cultivate it anew. But an opportunity for Elder Yuanba to break through to the Yan Yang realm was likely a once-in-an-uncountable-ages event.
"They're really going all out."
Seeing this, the little black dragon flipped his right hand, and a drop of essence blood from a Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass appeared. "I'm reluctant to even use this thing, but it's his good fortune."
As the essence blood of the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass entered Ao Yuanba's body, a thunderous roar ensued.
Crack~
A crisp sound echoed. The bottleneck that had stumped countless experts at the absolute peak of the ninth heaven of the 皓月 realm finally showed a crack under the combined forces. Then...
Boom!!
Under an ocean of energy, Ao Yuanba successfully broke through to the Yan Yang realm. It could be said that this realm had not been attained by the Dragon Clan for millions of years, as possessing Yan Yang realm strength was comparable to that of the Four Great Hegemonic Powers.
"Hoo~"
After a long while, Ao Yuanba, exhaling deeply, opened his eyes. He then felt the surging power within his body. "This is... I've actually broken through to the Yan Yang realm!!!"
Ao Bing's pupils widened, his face filled with shock and disbelief. "This... my goodness, what kind of bloodline does the Clan Leader possess? He made Elder Yuanba break through to the Yan Yang realm upon arriving at the ancestral shrine, this is too terrifying~~"
