Chapter 1979 - 1844: Dragon Nest

Chapter 1979: Chapter 1844: Dragon Nest

The cold universe is silent and serene, dark and boundless.

Starshine flickers, penetrating through space nodes, revealing the myriad secrets of the barren universe.

Humans are truly insignificant; an individual is as minuscule as dust compared to an Ancient Star, while an Ancient Star in the vast universe is not even comparable to dust.

The Star Domain is overwhelmingly vast, distances are excessively remote, even the smallest star system is measured in hundreds of billions of kilometers, let alone a massive Star Domain.

In the endless darkness and desolate universe, humans are insignificant, relying solely on one’s own power to fly; one lifetime is unlikely to surpass even a small star system, much less cross one immense Star Domain after another.

However, humans have devised the altar capable of traversing Star Domains, gathering the greater forces of the universe, opening pathways across Star Domains, and traversing countless Star Domains to the edge of the universe.

Ye Fan advances in the cold universe, with Bai Yan wolf, the Grandmaster of Array Patterns, there is no worry about the collapse of passage nodes.

In fact, they have already encountered several completely fragmented passage nodes, after emerging from the Starry Sky Channel, directly descending into endless darkness.

By now, they are entirely lost, unable to retreat, only to keep moving forward.

Despite Bai Yan wolf’s formidable skills in array patterns, definitely a Grandmaster, the inaccuracies often left Ye Fan speechless.

Discrepancies of tens of thousands of miles are commonplace, through continuous corrections, they can traverse back.

However, sometimes the discrepancies reach several million miles, making Ye Fan’s eyelids twitch, tempted to beat it up.

Thankfully, during this period, Ye Fan has gathered many Divine Materials to construct altars, enabling continuous traversal.

"Buzz!"

A ripple in the void, the Starry Sky Gate opens, Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf rush out together.

"Uh-oh!"

Just as they burst out, Bai Yan wolf exclaimed in shock, Ye Fan’s expression also turned grave.

At this moment, he truly wished to whack Bai Yan wolf.

Discrepancies of tens of thousands or even millions of miles can be corrected gradually; in the vast universe, millions of miles aren’t too remote.

However...

This time, after rushing out of the Starry Sky Channel, they fell into an area of space turbulence.

Surrounding them, brilliant lights intertwined, carrying them drifting toward unknown spaces.

Unless they can break free from this space turbulence; otherwise, they can only eternally drift with this space turbulence, until their Primordial Life is exhausted, or some change occurs, perhaps there is a sliver of hope.

"This is your doing!"

Ye Fan glared fiercely at Bai Yan wolf, wishing he could swallow it alive.

Frequent inaccuracies now resulted in paying the price, lost in space turbulence, without accidents, they simply cannot escape.

Space turbulence is like a quagmire, once trapped, without external force, escape is impossible.

"You think I wanted this? Even I, the King, am trapped here!"

Bai Yan wolf bared its teeth, stubbornly refusing to admit fault.

"You have the nerve to argue?"

Ye Fan, infuriated, retorted angrily, "If we don’t get out, I’ll eat you eventually."

Facing Ye Fan’s murderous gaze, Bai Yan wolf, knowing it’s guilty, grumbled twice, ultimately daring not to speak further.

They drift in space turbulence, unable to stop, with no destination.

It’s uncertain how much time has passed; in space turbulence there’s no concept of time, perhaps just a moment, or centuries may have elapsed.

Finally, they stopped, the brilliant lights that had been engulfing them dissipated, hovering around, cluster by cluster, group by group.

These are Divine Chains formed by Space Laws, so many intertwined, forming a spectacular sight!

"What is that?"

After stopping, Bai Yan wolf stretched its limbs, examined its surroundings, and suddenly exclaimed.

Ye Fan had noticed long ago; not far ahead of them lay a gigantic nest, radiating dazzling light.

The entire nest is constructed with the Seven-Colored Divine Stone and some unknown giant wood, Seven-Colored Divine Light flickering, extravagantly luxurious.

Clearly, this huge nest is at the center of the space turbulence, drifting with it.

Outside, starlight bright as water converges like a waterfall into this gigantic nest.

Though far away, Ye Fan could sense a surge of overwhelming Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

"Is this... a Dragon Nest?"

Upon approaching, Bai Yan wolf was stunned, its eyes gleamed, howling aloud, and "whoosh" charged toward the gigantic nest, as swift as lightning.

Ye Fan was shocked too; although he hadn’t seen a Dragon Nest before, he had glimpsed conjectures about dragons in some ancient texts at the Immortal Academy, which described Dragon Nests, albeit vaguely but enough to discern the general outline.

This enormous nest before them is indistinguishable from the Dragon Nests described in the texts, incredibly similar.

Dragons are Ancient Divine Beasts, synonymous with mystery and power.

In the Xuan Realm, true dragons have already vanished, only some with diluted Long Clan bloodlines remain among the Jiao species.

Like the Demon Emperor "Quasi-Demon Emperor" Chi Lin of the Demon Clan, it is a Crimson Dragon transforming with Long Clan bloodline.

Not to mention other beings like the Black Flood Dragon King; their Long Clan blood is extremely thin, not considered as true descendants of the Long Clan.

Dragons, though Ancient Divine Beasts, are actually a branch of the Demon Clan; yet due to their supreme arrogance, they disdain being associated with the Demon Clan, and long separated themselves.

It can also be said, the Long Clan is the topmost existence among all Demon Clans; many strong demon beings, including Xuan Beasts, have evolved into the Long Clan as a mark of honor.

"Trying to hog divine objects again, stop right there."

Seeing Bai Yan wolf already rushing into the Dragon Nest, Ye Fan also unleashed Chasing Star Step, transforming into a Flowing Light and pursued rapidly.

Bai Yan wolf remained silent, dashed inside, resembling a silver lightning bolt, swiftly vanishing from sight.

Ye Fan knows well, this dead wolf has everything good about it but two major flaws; one is unreliable array patterns, the second is greed, snatching treasures at sight.

This Dragon Nest is unfathomably vast; it certainly harbors precious items, and Bai Yan wolf specifically aims for the Immortal Treasures within the Dragon Nest.

The immense Dragon Nest is like a grand domain, with no end, deathly silent, devoid of any sound.

However, there was the purest Dragon Energy.

Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf did not hesitate at all, proceeding directly toward the source of the Dragon Energy, the deeper they went, the more they could feel the purest Dragon Energy.

"There are bones!"

The Bai Yan wolf in front shouted in surprise, and astonishingly found that far ahead, there lay a gigantic skeleton, spanning several thousand feet, like a mountain range.

"Clang!"

When they got closer, Ye Fan tapped on it with his hand, and the bone emitted a sound like metal, incredibly hard.

"This is a Star Sky Profound Beast, at least at the Peak of Venerable Realm in life, possibly even Quasi-Emperor Level."

Ye Fan asserted, without such cultivation level, its skeleton couldn’t possibly be as strong as Divine Gold, and who knows how many tens of thousands of years have passed, it still maintains a majestic Divine Power.

Just this skeleton alone could be sacrificially refined into a decent Holy Weapon, or even a Forbidden Artifact.

"Could there really be a living dragon?"

The Bai Yan wolf was shocked.

Such a terrifying Star Sky Profound Beast, definitely capable of reigning supreme in a region, yet it ended up as blood food, its fate pitiful.

To be able to use such a powerful Star Sky Profound Beast as food, there would likely be no other than a True Dragon.

Soon, they discovered several more skeletons of this kind, each of a different type, but without exception, all very powerful.

"This is..."

The Bai Yan wolf’s eyes twitched as it discovered a skeleton of a Tian Lang, as massive as a hill.

"One of your kind!"

Ye Fan teased.

"Get lost, this is a Tian Lang, a Star Sky Profound Beast, nothing to do with our Silver Moon Wolf Clan, it belongs to the Ancient Race." The Bai Yan wolf spoke with a serious yet slightly excited tone.

This Dragon Nest is definitely an Immortal Treasure, it’s just too large to take away; otherwise, with its greedy nature, would definitely try to take it away, leaving no stone unturned.

However, now it can only look on with regret; the Dragon Nest is so vast that it can’t take it at all.

"This Dragon Nest has indeed been abandoned."

The Bai Yan wolf said as it continued to walk forward.

"How can you tell?" Ye Fan asked.

He didn’t see any signs that the Dragon Nest had been abandoned. Although there weren’t any signs of recent True Dragon activity, it didn’t mean it was abandoned, right?

"It’s simple, if this Dragon Nest wasn’t abandoned, as soon as we appeared, it would perceive us immediately, but no dragon has shown up until now, which indicates that the Dragon Nest is abandoned or the owner of the Dragon Nest is dead."

The Bai Yan wolf sped along with Ye Fan like the wind towards the center of the Dragon Nest.

Ahead, Dragon Energy flowed like rivers and seas, with Chaotic Energy permeating.

"The real Dragon Nest!"

The Bai Yan wolf exclaimed.

Ahead, on Seven-Colored Divine Stones, stood countless ancient trees, endless and boundless, though long dead, they still emitted brilliance.

"True Dragon Wood, it is said to be a divine material for True Dragon nest building, not even countless Ancient Stars of Life might find one." The Bai Yan wolf’s eyes were glued.

Numerous ancient trees piled together formed a gigantic nest, looking quite simple, but filled with a mysterious aura.

It was grand beyond compare, formed from endless ancient trees, as towering as mountains, with tens of thousands of great dragons weaving around each other, all formed from Dragon Energy transformations.

The True Dragon Wood was pitch black, and the entire nest was so, ancient and worn, with an awe-inspiring aura permeating.

"Dragon, dragon, dragon..."

Suddenly, the Bai Yan wolf stammered, pointing a paw at the center of the Dragon Nest, exclaiming in shock.

"Where’s the True Dragon?"

Ye Fan was startled, hurriedly flew up to see, but found no True Dragon.

However, inside the Dragon Nest lay a massive egg as large as a millstone, with the purest energy among the starlight concentrated on the egg.

"Isn’t it said that only the phoenix lays eggs? Could it be that dragons do too?" Ye Fan wondered.

"Dragon Egg, mine!"

The Bai Yan wolf rushed without hesitation, deploying Divine Skills, intending to take away the Dragon Egg.

However...

"Bang!"

It seemed to hit an invisible barrier, as soon as it got close to the Dragon Egg, a strange force blasted it away, causing it to fall painfully.

"Spit, spit, spit..."

The Bai Yan wolf was knocked harshly, seeing stars, continually shaking its head, spitting out mouthfuls of bloody dirt.

That hit just now nearly killed it, driving the Bai Yan wolf into a rage.

It had never suffered such a loss in its life, just a small Dragon Egg, yet it made it fall so hard, the Bai Yan wolf felt utterly humiliated.

"I don’t believe it, I, the King, can’t take you away!"

The Bai Yan wolf grew furious, charged again.

"Bang!"

This time it was hit even harder, directly blown away seven or eight feet, breaking several teeth.

"Hehehe..."

Just then, a smug laugh emanated from the Dragon Egg!
