“Huh?”

The two chaos dragons examined the traces Su Ping had left after tearing the void and disappearing. The aura was very familiar… It was the Dragon Prison!

However, only their clansmen could open that place; no one else could enter or leave without the bloodline permit granted by the clan. How did the guy do it?

“He dared to break into the Dragon Prison? That Primitive Chaos fellow is too arrogant!”

“Humph. The Dragon Prison is not as simple as he thinks; even Undying State experts would be caged by it. He chose to brave danger for a few Dao Heart subordinates; I wonder whether it’s loyalty or if he’s just too cocky!”

Two dragon clones were instantly condensed inside the prison. Since he had voluntarily caged himself they would keep him there and figure out how he managed to enter.

“Guys…”

The colorful bird saw Su Ping disappear; she didn’t know where he went, but she knew that the Original Dragons wouldn’t let him go easily. Remembering their conversation on the way, she couldn’t hold back any longer. “The Primitive Chaos Clan contributed to the resistance against the Heavens, buying time for other clans to survive. Can you spare him?”

“We will deal with the matter,”said one of the chaos dragons in a cold tone, “He would never leave this place because of his rude behavior if he weren’t from the Primitive Chaos Clan!”

The others sighed, knowing that trying to persuade them would be pointless. They had to wait for their Sorcerer Ancestor to return and help Su Ping.

“Don’t let the rude guy affect the goodwill between our clans. Please come in,” said the other chaos dragon.

They were indeed angry because of Su Ping’s actions, but the Primitive Chaos Clan’s Sorcerer Ancestor had died, making him the sole, yet unworthy survivor.

On the other hand, the Hun Yu Clan was a whole different matter. Their Ancestor was a tough figure among the twelve Sorcerer Ancestors. Besides, unity was very important in their current situation; otherwise, all clans would follow the Primitive Chaos Clan’s footsteps.

…

In the meantime—

Inside the Dragon Prison.

The sky was red, with burning flames everywhere. However, the grounds were snowy; everything was frozen, including light and time.

Ice sculptures of dragons could be seen there. Those creatures were entirely frozen, but their souls were wide awake. They were eternally being tortured by the cold.

Elsewhere, on scorching black lands, there were magma springs everywhere, with enchained dragons soaking in them. They struggled in the scorching substance; most were ice dragons vulnerable to heat. Their agony was extraordinary since they had been thrown to an environment completely opposite to their nature. Maybe they would slowly adapt over time, but the process would be excruciating.

Is this the Dragon Prison…?

Su Ping could only see dragons being punished.

However, the environment didn’t affect him much. He glanced around and saw that the Inferno Dragon was fighting some chains connected to the bottom of a pit.

Their respective teleportation points had differed by thousands of kilometers.

Su Ping had already noticed the reigning chaos inside. Time and space meant nothing there; a second in the outside world could represent several months in that prison. One step forward and he could stumble into a folded space, reappearing a thousand kilometers away.

Whoosh!

Su Ping flashed and appeared right in front of his pets. He casually slashed the chain apart with a fire blade.

The chain was made with the Great Dao. Dao Heart experts would hardly make a dent on them.

The color of chaos surfaced in Su Ping’s eyes, allowing him to see through the illusion, and the prison was manifested in its original form. He was soon able to see the whole picture.

What shocked Su Ping was that the Dragon Prison had thousands of floors and was currently housing an endless amount of lives, including those from other clans!

The inner space was infinitely massive, practically on par with a grand universe!

Underneath their feet was a deeper universe, which served as the prison’s core; the Great Dao’s aura was the most abundant there. Su Ping’s abilities merely allowed him to see a vague view; however, there were several Undying State auras that were particularly eye-catching.

Even Undying State beings are kept as prisoners here. Is this how domineering Sorcerer Ancestors are?

The Undying State was at the top in any cultivation site, while they were treated as prisoners there.

Bang!

Just as Su Ping looked around—a crack in the sky was formed, and a figure as enormous as a cloud showed up. It was one of the chaos dragons.

However, it was a creature he hadn’t met before. The new dragon had purple-gray scales and was emitting an intense aura of chaos. Its horns were as long as tentacles, with thick, interconnected membranes. It was quite the intimidating fellow.

It looked down at Su Ping with cold, dark golden eyes. “Member of the Primitive Chaos Clan, you’ve broken into the Dragon Prison. Your life may be spared if you stay here for ten thousand Ancestral Dragon Cycles!”

“Ancestral Dragon Cycles?”

“One Ancestral Dragon Cycle means the sleeping and waking pattern of an ancestral dragon, which is equal to a thousand years!” the system explained for Su Ping in a calm voice.

The voice tone made Su Ping feel more confident.

After the prison as a whole moments before, he realized it had to be the work of the Original Dragons’ ancestor. It wasn’t something that Undying State beings could do.

However, the system didn’t panic, even in such conditions. This meant that, even if Su Ping was attacked by Yuan Long—the Original Dragons’ Sorcerer Ancestor—the system would still be capable of taking him back to the store.

With that in mind, he had nothing to worry about. He said to the chaos dragon, “You’re judging me like a criminal. Your fellow dragons imprisoned my partners and violated my rules. I haven’t made you pay for this yet!”

“Humph. Noisy!”

The chaos dragon snorted, showing no interest in wasting time on Su Ping. After declaring Su Ping’s sentence, it released dragon might and a bloody badge appeared out of nowhere, spinning in the void with indescribable authority.

Following that, the Dragon Prison shook and changed.

Su Ping instantly noticed that the fuzzy space underneath him became clear and surrounded him.

“Roar!!”

The Inferno Dragon and the others sensed that Su Ping was in danger. They roared and charged at the chaos dragon and the bloody badge emitting an endless surge of authority. Their scales were collapsing, as they barely stood because of the bloodline pressure. Their bodies were falling apart, even as they were determined to fight back!

Each of their cells were terrified because of the surmounting pressure, and were falling apart beyond their control.

The bloody badge was even more intimidating. It caused their deepest fears to emerge from their blood, transcending everything.

Their flesh fell apart as they rushed to attack. The scene was splendid and miserable; they wouldn’t die, but Su Ping’s eyes were still bloodshot.

“Ahhhhhhh…!” Su Ping roared and dashed over relentlessly. While swinging the giant sword, transformed from his blood and fury, he moved to slash the spinning bloody badge in the void.

Boom. The sword shattered, and an illusory dragon with exceptionally vivid eyes appeared on the bloody badge. It seemed to be staring at Su Ping.

All of Su Ping’s fury and hot blood were becoming solid at that moment.

It was as if some sort of freezing willpower had instantly enshrouded and frozen him.

Su Ping was deprived of his senses, just as if his body would have been sent to another space, to then fall into a soundless darkness. By the time he regained his senses, he found that he had already fallen into the Dragon Prison’s fuzzy floor, where several Undying State prisoners were caged.

Su Ping’s senses were recovering. The world before his eyes was almost completely dark; dark red spots could be seen every now and then. He could vaguely tell that there were some dark figures fixated to the void, as if pinned into place.

“Break!” Su Ping roared, gathering his aura and blood into a sword. He detonated his undying universe to slash with full force.

However, the attack was useless. He roared and swung his sword dozens of times in a row. His mind was exhausted; his undying universe could be infinitely reconstituted, but his mental strength would be difficult to recover.

A loud voice was heard on Su Ping’s left, which belonged to an Undying State figure. “Haha, it’s useless. Even I am incapable of breaking out; this is a universe personally constructed by the Original Dragons’ ancestor. In other words, this is his universe, the combination of thousands of universes. Each can summon the power of a hundred other universes. This means that you have to break a hundred universes with one strike. Nobody can do that, except for the Sorcerer Ancestors…”

They could vaguely feel the presence of the other. However, there seemed to be an infinite distance in between, and they couldn’t see each other.
