Chapter 1271: Chapter 776: Return of the Candle Dragon
Nether Sea, deep within Zhong Mountain, a hundred thousand miles of cloud sea.
Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, the deep sea water lashed against the reefs, and the entire island trembled violently.
“The Ancestor is finally breaking free of the seal! Fellow clansmen, let us welcome the Ancestor’s return!”
The leader of the Silver Eyes Sector, Yin Hao, along with tens of thousands of clansmen, ascended into the sky, fervently looking towards the place where the Candle Dragon Ancestor was sealed.
The Candle Dragon Ancestor, the strongest of the Candle Dragon Clan, was sealed in the depths of the Nether Sea beneath Zhong Mountain.
Clan members from the Red Pupil Tribe, Blue Pupil Sect, and other tribes also ascended into the sky, their hearts conflicted.
During the turmoil of the Three Realms, with a Dragon King level Candle Dragon Ancestor overseeing, the survival probability of the Candle Dragon Clan would undoubtedly increase.
Yet, the Candle Dragon Ancestor was sealed by the Taiyin Goddess in the cold seabed of the Nether Sea for hundreds of millions of years, enduring endless torment. With the Ancestor breaking the seal, one might not know if he would retaliate against the Human Clan, dragging the Candle Dragon Clan into the Three Realms’ conflict.
In Ancient Times, the Candle Dragon, along with the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon, the World-Ending Black Dragon, and the Ancient Thunder Dragon, were all members of the War Faction. After all these years, the Candle Dragon’s hatred towards humans could only have deepened.
“Go to the Guanghan Sacred Land and tell Lu Changsheng about this… the Taiyin Goddess’s body is with him, the ancestor’s return might cause trouble for him. It would be best for him to lay low.”
The Red Pupil Ancestor, Yan Feng, called upon a trusted subordinate, instructing him to depart immediately.
The members of the Red Pupil Tribe were puzzled: “Lu Changsheng is ultimately of the Human Clan, why should we inform him?”
Yan Feng, worried, said: “This man is the Son of Fortune. I fear that if the Ancestor seeks trouble with him, the Ancestor might end up in danger. I do this to avoid conflict between the Ancestor and him. Furthermore, the Descendant of the Dragon Empress is his disciple; if they grow up and hold us Candle Dragon Clan accountable, what shall we do then?”
The Red Pupil Tribe members were immediately drenched in cold sweat: “That makes sense. I shall head to Mount Taihua at once.”
After the departure of this Red Pupil Tribe member, Yan Feng, along with Huo Zhang and other Red Pupil Tribe members, waited respectfully for the emergence of the Candle Dragon.
Boom!
Part of the Zhong Mountain collapsed, a curtain of sand and dust rose thousands of feet, startling countless birds and mythical beasts.
The Nether Sea surged into enormous waves, submerging the adjoining land.
The heavy seals left by the Taiyin Goddess hundreds of millions of years ago were breached, a pillar of light cold to the extreme penetrated the heavens, scattering the sweeping clouds.
When the light pillar faded, a red-haired man appeared above Zhong Mountain, his aura terrifyingly potent, his gaze sweeping over everything, as if he ruled the world.
“Welcome Ancestor’s return!”
The eight major tribes of the Candle Dragon Clan knelt in submission.
The Candle Dragon Ancestor was the Dragon King of the Candle Dragon Clan, second only to the Old Dragon Emperor among the Dragon Clan experts in Ancient Times, holding supreme authority within the Candle Dragon Clan.
“You all are too weak.”
The Candle Dragon glanced over Yan Feng, Huo Zhang, Yin Hao, and other descendants, his tone seemingly displeased.
Among the Candle Dragon Clan’s Great Power, only Yan Feng from the Red Pupil Tribe was present, lacking considerably in comparison to Ancient Times.
Yan Feng replied: “The Ancient War was exceedingly brutal, too many Great Experts perished, and our Candle Dragon Clan was no exception. If not for the Guanghan Sacred Land and Mount Taihua Sacred Land allowing our Candle Dragon Clan to guard the seal in the Nether Sea, we might have long been devoured by other Dragon Clan tribes…”
“Silence! Our Candle Dragon Clan needs no charity from the Human Clan!”
The Candle Dragon raged, the pitch-black waters of the Nether Sea churned violently, forming a terrifying tsunami.
Yan Feng, facing the Ancestor’s wrath, knew he couldn’t argue, or he too would suffer.
“Ancestor, while you were sealed, the Human Clan bullied us excessively, especially Lu Changsheng from Mount Taihua Sacred Land. Now that you’ve emerged, it’s time to lead our Candle Dragon Clan towards greatness once more.”
Yin Hao stepped forward, his eyes intensely fervent.
The Candle Dragon heard the name Lu Changsheng for the first time, but it wasn’t a role of concern: “The Taiyin Goddess sealed me at the Nether Sea’s bottom. During the seal’s breaching, I also absorbed the Power of Earth Fire from the sea floor. Now my power has greatly increased. First, I’ll take revenge on the Taiyin Goddess, then deal with the small fry you mentioned.”
“The Ancestor’s power surpasses past days?” Yin Hao couldn’t help but rejoice. The Candle Dragon was already Dragon King level in Ancient Times. If the cultivation improved again, the strength would be close to the Dragon Emperor, “But according to my knowledge, the Taiyin Goddess is already dead…”
The Candle Dragon’s pupils contracted, enraged once more, the Nether Sea raised wave upon wave, submerging countless islands: “I haven’t taken my revenge, how can she die!”
Yin Hao thought of redirecting trouble, coldly sneering: “Ancestor, as far as I know, although the Taiyin Goddess is dead, her body was refined into a puppet, and the talismans are in Lu Changsheng’s possession.”
“I will crush her bones and scatter her ashes, where is he?”
The Candle Dragon, hearing the Taiyin Goddess’s body still existed, finally had a target.
“Heh, he is on Mount Taihua. I am willing to accompany Ancestor to pay a visit.”
A sliver of murderous intent flashed in Yin Hao’s eyes.
Lu Changsheng and the Mount Taihua Sacred Land had thwarted his plans. Now with the Ancestor willing to intervene, Lu Changsheng was doomed, and the Mount Taihua Sacred Land would be destroyed as well.
As he knew, the only one in Mount Taihua Sacred Land who could contend with the Candle Dragon, the Mount Taihua Goddess, had already fallen.
The Candle Dragon absorbed the power of the Earth Fire from the Nether Sea’s bottom, its strength compared to Ancient Times only stronger, making Mount Taihua Sacred Land no match for the Candle Dragon.
“I will also retrieve my artifact from the Netherworld. Three days later, I’ll go to Mount Taihua to demand him. You’ve done well, once this matter is settled, I’ll teach you a cultivation technique.”
“Thank you, Ancestor!”
Yin Hao was overjoyed, immediately bowing in gratitude.
He was already a Dragon Clan expert in the Divine King Realm, but there was still quite a distance to reach the Immortal Realm.
With Ancestor’s personal guidance, becoming an Immortal Realm Dragon Clan expert wouldn’t be difficult.
The Candle Dragon Clan had been dormant for years, with only Yan Feng as the remaining Great Power, besides the fact that most of the Ancient Great Powers perished in the Ancient Catastrophe, not to mention the Candle Dragon’s sealing was partly to blame.
Without a strong figure like the Candle Dragon guiding them, the Candle Dragon Clan’s cultivation was slow, with few reaching the Divine King Realm.
Now that the Dragon King had returned, with the Ancestor recognizing Yin Hao, he would have the opportunity to become the strongest after the Candle Dragon.
Yan Feng, Huo Zhang, and other Red Pupil Tribe experts saw the Ancestor favoring Yin Hao, their expressions turned unpleasant.
The Red Pupil Tribe and Silver Eyes Sector were long-time rivals, if the Silver Eyes Sector rose, they would definitely suppress the Red Pupil Tribe.
Moreover, if the Candle Dragon and the Silver Eyes Sector ignited a war with the Daoist Sect of the Human Clan, it would likely lead to annihilation.
Yan Feng quietly sighed: “Hopefully, Lu Changsheng and the Descendant of the Dragon Empress leave Mount Taihua beforehand…”
In Mount Taihua Sacred Land, Lu Changsheng rescued Lin Xuanshuang, Star Sword Daoist, and others captured by the Blood Infant Ancestor.
Lu Changsheng became a Great Expert, killing the Seventh Grade Great Power Blood Infant Ancestor, surprising even Lin Shiyu.
Yet, before Lu Changsheng could rest, the Red Pupil Tribe members came knocking.
“The Candle Dragon finally broke the seal. If it comes knocking, it might implicate the Sacred Land. I should temporarily avoid its edge.”
Lu Changsheng, hearing the Candle Dragon’s emergence, decided to lay low for a while.
This old dragon is indeed formidable.
“Xue’er seems to have gone to the eastern part of the Immortal Realm… the Demon Realm is ravaged there, and Xue’er might be in danger.”
