Chapter 2079 - 1906: Dragon Tomb World, The Unsolved Case of the Past

Because neither of them possessed Original Dragon Power, if someone not of the Dragon Clan tried to enter the Dragon Tomb, it would provoke the backlash of the Dragon Tomb World.

The Dragon Tomb World itself is a heaven-and-earth of its own, containing an unconscious Original Will.

Moreover, generation after generation of powerhouses of the Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan have been buried here. Though they have all fallen, over the ages a special type of consciousness would naturally be born, merging with the Original Will and forming a brand-new, peculiar Original Will.

Regarding this, Ye Chen had already sensed it. He lifted his gaze; Chaos Ancient Energy surged in his eyes, as if the entire Chaos Sea had been buried within. Sweeping his gaze over the whole Dragon Tomb World, he could feel a vast will rippling through the Dragon Tomb region, boundless and unmatched.

Hearing this, both Mo Haishen and Luoo Guyun were somewhat hesitant. After all, their lord was also going in, and they were worried that some danger might occur.

Ye Chen waved his hand, indicating that they need not worry, and that with his strength there was nothing he could not resolve. Even if the two of them followed, they would not be of much use.

The Red-scaled Demon Dragon laughed and said, "Two young lords, the Dragon Clan domain of our Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan, because the ancestors of generations have been buried there, and because some ancestors grasped profound fortune and surpassed the Great Power Realm, has given rise to a special will within the Dragon Tomb. This will can be said to be a will fused with the Dragon Tomb World and the Dragon Tomb Array; therefore, regarding the guarding of the Dragon Tomb region, I have never been worried."

Ye Chen nodded, his expression slightly grave, for this Dragon Tomb Will was very powerful. Those buried through the ages were all powerhouses of the Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan, among them generations of Demon Dragon Great Powers, and even existences surpassing Great Power—perhaps beings of the Nine Tribulations Realm, or even Cosmic Dominators of the Ancient Monarch level.

Such existences, even in death, are not to be profaned. Some among them may, after falling, give birth to unique consciousnesses. When these consciousnesses merge together, and with the Dragon Tomb Array laid down by Dragon Blood, and the Original Will of the Dragon Tomb World, once all of this fuses together, some astonishing mutation may occur, giving rise to special will-existences.

The Dragon Tomb Will permeating the entire Dragon Tomb region is perhaps precisely such a thing.

The might of this Dragon Tomb Will is such that even he cannot help but feel some dread.

They smoothly crossed the Dragon Gate and entered the Dragon Tomb World. The Dragon Gate then closed. Luoo Guyun and Mo Haishen both sensed how terrifying the Dragon Tomb World was and did not dare to leave. If something were to happen to their lord and Aben, they would, no matter what, charge in to rescue them.

The place where Dragon Blood Grass grows lies in the depths of the Dragon Tomb World.

Led by the Red-scaled Demon Dragon, Ye Chen and Aben advanced along the way. Though the Dragon Tomb World appeared steeped in gloomy yin, nothing unexpected occurred.

In the end, they traveled eight thousand li and arrived before a Dragon Tomb towering thirty thousand zhang high. Among the many Dragon Tombs, this one could be considered relatively grand, and the Dragon Power diffusing from it was all the more intense.

One could well surmise that in life it must have been an immensely powerful existence among the Red-scaled Demon Dragons.

Before it stood a tombstone ten thousand zhang tall, upon which were a few colossal characters as large as mountains: "Tomb of the Balong Divine Sovereign!"

Gazing upon this Dragon Tomb, the eyes of the Red-scaled Demon Dragon revealed a few fervent traces of reverence. "Ancestor Balong Divine Sovereign was one of the foremost Super Experts of our Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan, enough to rank within the top five from ancient times to the present. Rumor has it that he surpassed the Great Power Realm and stepped into the Nine Tribulations Realm as a Super Dragon Clan powerhouse. In that era, he was a generation’s Overlord within the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, dominating the winds and clouds for a hundred thousand years."

At these words, both Ye Chen and Aben could well imagine that, in endless ages past, a peerlessly unmatched Super Expert had emerged from among the Red-scaled Demon Dragons, breaking through the shackles of the Great Power Realm and stepping into the Nine Tribulations Realm Domain. Such an existence was second only to Ancient Monarchs, enough to dominate the world’s winds and clouds and be hailed as an Overlord of his era.

One could well believe that in those years, the Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan had been exceedingly glorious.

The Red-scaled Demon Dragon sighed softly. "Back then, Ancestor Balong Divine Sovereign was incomparably mighty, leading our Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan to near-peak heights, second only to the seventh-generation ancestor. Our overall strength was likely only slightly inferior to the Nine Clans and Eighteen Countries of that time."

"Unfortunately, Ancestor Balong Divine Sovereign rampaged through the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolates all his life, invincible across several Heavenly Realm Ancient Domains. In the end, following the footsteps of the seventh-generation ancestor, he went to the Tenth Heavenly Ancient Domain. No one knows what occurred there; the one who had been invincible under heaven returned to the clan bearing mortal wounds. No one knew what had truly happened then, and even Ancestor Balong Divine Sovereign never disclosed it, merely informing his descendants that no matter what, they must never set foot in the Tenth Heavenly Ancient Domain."

"Not long after, Ancestor Balong Divine Sovereign passed away in seated meditation and was buried within the Dragon Tomb World. What happened that year became an unsolved mystery."

Hearing this, Ye Chen and Aben exchanged glances, deeply shocked. The Balong Divine Sovereign of the Nine Tribulations Realm had once been nearly invincible across past and present, almost stepping into the Ancient Monarch Domain—yet merely by making a single trip to the Tenth Heavenly Ancient Domain, he returned dragging a dying body, and even warned his descendants that for generations they must never tread there. Just what had happened?

"Isn’t the Tenth Heavenly Ancient Domain where the 108 Ancient Divine Clans are located? In the past it was also the domain of Emperor Clans such as the Nine Clans and Eighteen Countries. To think there is such a mysterious and dangerous place there." Ye Chen said.

At this, the Red-scaled Demon Dragon stared at Ye Chen in astonishment and said, "Lord Ye Chen, who told you that the Tenth Heavenly Ancient Domain is where the 108 Ancient Divine Clans are located?"

"Is it not?"

Ye Chen and Aben were both taken aback.

The Red-scaled Demon Dragon said, "Two young lords, though I do not know where you heard that, the Tenth Heavenly Ancient Domain has always been the most Mysterious Land in the entire Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain—not inferior to the First Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, and in fact far more mysterious."

"Why?" Ye Chen asked. At this moment he also understood that the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain concealed far too many secrets. Much of what he had previously heard from the Xiasang Tribe was not accurate, for that was merely a small tribe of the Human Clan and knew little of many matters. The Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan, though seemingly in decline now, was still far stronger than the subordinate Xiasang Tribe, and their ancestors had once been peerless existences who roamed the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain. Thus they knew many secrets.

The Red-scaled Demon Dragon shook his head and said, "I do not know the specifics either. I only know that while the Ten Thousand Clan claims to have mastered the nine great Heavenly Realm Ancient Domains within Ancestor God Pass, in truth no one has ever controlled the Tenth Heavenly Ancient Domain. To the Ten Thousand Clan, it has always been a riddle, and even more so a forbidden land, a place that must not be touched."
