The Invincible Dragon Emperor

“Patriarch Sun!”

Lu Li shouted. In the distance, Patriarch Sun flew out from the island. “Have you heard about the paleo-beasts?” Lu Li asked.

Patriarch Sun was one of the senior patriarchs of the Demon-slaying Hall. He had been in this position for over six hundred years. The Demon-slaying Hall had a large reserve of documents and files. If the paleo-beasts once existed, Patriarch Sun should know.

What Zi Ji said was stunning. In the old days, the nine universes all belonged to the paleo-beasts? Feather Race, Asmodians, Barbarian Race and the Titan Race—and many other races were breed by the paleo-beasts and the human race? The entire Heaven Reverse Universe would descend into chaos if such information was leaked.

“Paleo-beasts?”

Patriarch Sun frowned. He thought for a while but shook his head. “I don’t think the Demon-slaying Hall has records of the paleo-beasts. Maybe… I have not read enough. I don’t recall such things.”

“Ignorant!”

Zi Ji gave Patriarch Sun a look of disdain. “But I reckon it is not surprising that you have not heard. The most prosperous time of use paleo-beasts was two million years ago. When humans developed, we were hunted down for many years. A lot of major races were wiped out. The remaining ones hid in different small worlds and it has been over a million years since we intervened in worldly affairs.”

Lu Li looked at Zi Ji with curiosity. He had another question, “You said that the Mermaid Race was not from the Underworld Realm? Where were you from? How have you come to the Underworld Realm?”

“Ha, ha!”

Giving Lu Li a disdainful look, Zi Ji answered, “Grand Master Lu, do not ever think about doing anything to our Paleo-beast Realm. I am not belittling you, but you are too weak. If you are to go to the Paleo-beast Realm, I promise that you will not leave a complete body behind!”

“The Paleo-beast Realm!”

Lu Li sensed danger. There was access from the Paleo-beast Realm to the Underworld Realm? Did it mean that those from the Paleo-beast Realm could enter the Heaven Reverse Universe?

“I must try to get more information of the Paleo-beast Realm from her!”

Lu Li thought to himself. Then, putting on a proud look, Lu Li said, “Zi Ji, I am not a timid person. You thought you were strong, right? Now, you are still defeated by me. The Paleo-beast Realm is strong? Well, tell me how strong is the Paleo-beast Realm exactly? See if you can scare me.”

“You are trying to get information?”

Zi Ji saw Lu Li through at once. She burst into laughter, “Well… I can tell you that there is a passageway in the Underworld Realm that connects to the Paleo-beast Realm. There, powerful warriors abound. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and see.”

“Okay!”

Lu Li asked, “Where is the entrance? I have the courage to go even all by myself. I don’t think anything in your Paleo-beast Realm can be more frightening than the Central Imperial Universe or the Mage Imperial Universe.”

“Hmm!”

Zi Ji smiled but did not give a reply. She sighed, “Do not waste your breaths. Do whatever you want to do but you will not learn anything else from me.”

“I am not tricking you to get information!”

Coldness rose in the depth of Lu Li’s eyes as he said, “I am grilling you. If you don’t want to get hurt, answer my questions. Also… I suppose there are many of the Mermaid Race in the Underworld Realm, right? I will allocate any army and kill all of you.”

“You…”

Zi Ji was frightened. She would not be fearful if she was tortured or abused. But if the Mermaid Race was wiped out and she dies, how could she face the ancestors of the Mermaid Race?

Hence, after a moment of thinking, she sighed. “Lu Li, I need you to take an oath. As long as I give you the information you need, you cannot hurt anyone of my people!”

“No problem!”

Lu Li answered frankly, “Give the order and don’t let your people attack mine. Then, I promise you that we will not kill anyone of you.”

Killing the Mermaid Race was meaningless to Lu Li. The Mermaid Race was just another race of beast. Finishing them was pointless. Lu Li could only rest easy after he obtained information about the paleo-beasts.

Zi Ji nodded and said, “Ask away. About the basic information, I will tell you everything I know and without reserve. But I once swore that I would keep the secrets of the paleo-beasts confidential. You will not force that out of me.”

“Fine~”

Lu Li nodded. His first question was, “Where is the entrance to the Paleo-beast Realm? Will the paleo-beasts come here?”

“The entrance is underneath the Underworld Island. I put 10 layers of seals over it. It is not easy for them to come here from the Paleo-beast Realm. The opening in the Paleo-beast Realm is very well hidden. I don’t think the regular beasts can find the opening or else they would have come already.”

Lu Li nodded and asked the second question, “How many powerful ones are there among the paleo-beasts? What realms?”

Zi Ji had to think before she replied, “When my queen mother led the Mermaid Race here in retreat, there were over 30 Beast Gods among the paleo-beasts and the most powerful of them was the Nine-clawed Silver Dragon. That race had nine Beast Gods and remained the absolute master of the Paleo-beast Realm. There are six other strong races with three to five Beast Gods.”

“But that was ten thousand years ago. When I reached the stage of Beast God, I snuck back. Before I could collect any information, I was discovered and had to get back in panic. But I don’t think the Paleo-beast Realm is progressing greatly or else… they would have gone to the Divine Imperial Universe for revenge.”

“The Paleo-beast Realm is a vast place, at least five times larger than the Heaven Reverse Universe… Of the seven strongest races; the top one was the Nine-clawed Silver Dragon, the second the Three-eyed Blood Ape, the third Ten-winged Wolf, and the fourth is…”

Zi Ji was clever enough to tell Lu Li the basics of the Paleo-beast Realm before he asked. Both Lu Li and Patriarch Sun were astonished by the facts.

When Lu Li learned that the strongest of the beasts was the Nine-clawed Silver Dragon, his breaths shortened. There was a silver dragon mark in his Bead of Life and Soul Pond respectively.

If he could kill one or two Nine-clawed Silver Dragon Beast Gods to obtain their Origin Blood Essence, he would have one or two new Bloodline skills, which could elevate his abilities greatly!

But he was not that impulsive. Instead of pressing her about the Nine-clawed Silver Dragon, Lu Li asked about other paleo-beasts. He even obtained details of the history of the paleo-beasts and their fight, as well as the feud with the nine universes.

Two hours later, Lu Li finally had a clear idea. He asked the final question, “Are you sure that there is nothing more powerful than Beast Gods in the Paleo-beast Realm?”

Zi Ji thought for a while. But she shook her head, “I am not sure. However, the Paleo-beast Realm lacks Xuan Qi and Mystical Materials. I don’t think any Beast God can reach the next level. Otherwise, they would have gone to the Divine Imperial Universe.”

“Okay!”

Lu Li made up his mind of going and exploring the Paleo-beast Realm to capture some Nine-clawed Silver Dragon. If he could awaken one or two Bloodline Skills, when the powerful warriors from the nine universes invaded—he would not be so fearful.

Once, the Wu Family of the Mage Imperial Universe had an ancestor that had gone to the Divinity. Maybe, other families had such precedents as well.

It was said that the most powerful of the nine universes was the Divine Imperial Universe which had a superfamily that was regarded as the overlord of the nine universes. If the Divine Imperial Universe was involved, Lu Li’s current ability would not provide much help.

“I need to drop Qiling, Qiuxue, and Xiashuang off and let Great Grandpa and Ke Mang join me. The three of us, plus Little White and the Dragon Demon will suffice.”

Lu Li had reached a decision. Patriarch of Law Enforcement was strong and had become more capable—upon reaching the Semi-God Realm. He was seasoned in fights and was the most ideal helper.
