Chapter 539: Chaos Stele

Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Chaos Stele

As the ancient `Dragon’s Roar` resounded, a colossal, illusory dragon shadow appeared.

The `Ancient Divine Dragon`.

No matter how powerful the `Nine-Tribulation Demon Dragon` was, he was still a `Giant Dragon` at his core. How could he not recognize their ancestor, the `Ancient Divine Dragon`?

But everyone in the `Dragon Race`, and indeed across the entire continent, knew one thing: the `Ancient Divine Dragon` had already `Fallen` during the `Ancient Times`.

’If that’s the case, why has our ancestor appeared here?’

’An impersonator.’

’That’s right. This `Ancient Divine Dragon` that suddenly appeared must be an imposter.’

"You bastard! How dare you impersonate our ancestor! You deserve to die."

Before the `Nine-Tribulation Demon Dragon` could finish speaking, a terrifying `Dragon Breath` pressed down, causing him to shudder in fear.

Although he knew there was a high chance this was the real ancestor, the `Nine-Tribulation Demon Dragon` refused to believe it. He was one hundred percent certain the colossal dragon shadow before him was an imposter.

"Kid, I don’t know where you got this fake, but let me be clear: impersonating our ancestor is a crime punishable by death, without mercy."

With the `Ancient Divine Dragon`’s appearance, the `Nine-Tribulation Demon Dragon`’s power withdrew from his body. Only then could `Long Ao` finally breathe a true sigh of relief.

But when he heard what the `Nine-Tribulation Demon Dragon` said, `Long Ao` almost choked.

’I’ve met some idiots in my time, but this one’s brain must be filled with paste. Even if you could fake the body, could you fake the aura too?’

After a moment’s thought, `Long Ao` instantly understood the reason.

’Even if the `Nine-Tribulation Demon Dragon` has guessed the `Ancient Divine Dragon`’s identity, he would never be willing to admit it. After all, admitting it would mean submitting to him.’

’As a mighty `Celestial Divine Level` `Divine Dragon`, how could the `Nine-Tribulation Demon Dragon` possibly submit to me?’

The `Ancient Divine Dragon` said nothing, showing no trace of anger. His ancient, majestic face was filled with cold indifference, and the corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile. Then, a terrifying `Dragon Breath` surged forth like a tidal wave, pressing down relentlessly on the `Stone Stele`.

`Long Ao` was stunned as he felt this terrifying `Dragon Breath`. He had no idea why the `Ancient Divine Dragon` was doing this.

’According to what the `Ancient Divine Dragon` said, he already depleted his `Vitality` by intervening before. By doing so again, isn’t he just courting death?’

`Long Ao` knew perfectly well that when the `Ancient Divine Dragon` and `Long Tian` had fought the `Celestial Dao`, the battle had ended with one of them dead and the other grievously wounded. If it hadn’t been for the `Dragon Seal Space`, the `Ancient Divine Dragon` would have likely perished right then and there.

’Could it be for this `Stone Stele`?’

At this thought, `Long Ao` became even more shocked. He couldn’t imagine what this `Stone Stele` was to make the `Ancient Divine Dragon` intervene personally.

The `Ancient Divine Dragon` was truly going all out this time. Just as `Long Ao` had guessed, he acted decisively to obtain the `Stone Stele`, ignoring the risk of his own demise.

"Ancestor, I beg you."

Before the `Nine-Tribulation Demon Dragon` could finish speaking, his voice disappeared. Immediately after, the `Ancient Divine Dragon`’s voice rang out.

"Thank you."

Without the slightest hesitation, `Long Ao` immediately moved in front of the `Stone Stele`. Circulating all the power in his body, he let out a great roar, then unleashed all his strength, instantly enveloping the `Stone Stele`.

Relying on his own power, `Long Ao` would have been unable to `Devour` the `Stone Stele`. But with the `Ancient Divine Dragon`’s help, he easily absorbed it into his body, and it settled within his `Dantian`.

"`Long Ao`, come in with me."

`Long Ao` nodded, and his `soul` followed the `Ancient Divine Dragon` into the `Dragon Seal Space`. `Long Fu` stood respectfully to one side.

After all, both the `Ancient Divine Dragon` and `Long Ao` were his masters—one his former master, the other his current one.

"Thank you for your help, Elder `Divine Dragon`."

Although `Long Ao` still didn’t know what the `Stone Stele` was, he was certain it was an incredible treasure. Otherwise, neither `Long Fu` nor the `Ancient Divine Dragon` would have been so tense.

"`Long Ao`, do you know what that `Stone Stele` you just obtained is?"

Shaking his head, `Long Ao` replied, "I do not."

"It is a `Chaos Stele`. There are a total of twelve `Chaos Stele`s in all of `Heaven and Earth`. Legend has it that anyone who obtains even one of them can become a supreme expert in this world. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

`Long Ao` nodded numbly, his mind already reeling. Of course he understood what the `Ancient Divine Dragon` was saying.

’Twelve `Chaos Stele`s in the entire world, and obtaining just one can make you a supreme expert. That’s a temptation that surely no one could resist.’

`Long Ao` was incredibly grateful to `Long Fu` and the `Ancient Divine Dragon`. ’After all, there are only twelve `Chaos Stele`s in existence, and I’ve already gotten one. My luck is almost unbelievable.’

"`Long Ao`, by forcibly helping you suppress the `Nine-Tribulation Demon Dragon`, I have also reached the time of my own demise. Unless a miracle occurs, I will no longer be able to help you from this day forward."

`Long Ao` was not the least bit surprised by this, as if he had expected it all along.

In any case, the `Ancient Divine Dragon`’s forceful intervention had already sealed his fate. `Long Ao`’s admiration for him grew immensely in that instant.

’Of course, I know that the `Ancient Divine Dragon` is only helping me to help himself. After all, only if I continue to grow stronger can I avenge him and `Long Tian`.’

’But since the `Ancient Divine Dragon` is about to fade away, I might as well consider this a good deed.’

"I have three things to entrust to you. Listen carefully."

`Long Ao` listened quietly.

"First, we still don’t know what `Attribute` this `Chaos Stele` you’ve obtained possesses. You will have to comprehend that for yourself. But remember one thing: do not tell anyone about it, or you will find yourself in enormous trouble."

"I know." `Long Ao` understood the `Ancient Divine Dragon`’s worries perfectly. ’The `Chaos Stele` is just too powerful. If word of this gets out, never mind ordinary `Martial Artist`s; I doubt even `Divine Dao Martial Artist`s could resist the temptation to try and seize it.’

"Second, until your strength reaches the absolute `Peak Realm`, you must never expose yourself, especially not to the `Celestial Dao`. I hope you can avenge me. If you fail to do this, `Long Fu` will choose a new master."

`Long Ao` said nothing, but inwardly he was quite displeased.

’In the end, even though I’m the master of the `Dragon Seal Space` now, I’m still under the control of `Long Fu` and the space itself. If `Long Fu` wanted to, he could get rid of me and choose a new master at any time.’

’Hmph. One day, I will become the true master of the `Dragon Seal Space`.’

"Third, help me take good care of `the Long Clan` and `Dragon Valley`. Consider it a personal request."

For the `Ancient Divine Dragon` to make such a request was incredibly rare. `Long Ao` was initially reluctant to agree, but he ultimately nodded. After all, he owed them a great debt. If not for `Long Fu` and the `Ancient Divine Dragon`, he would still be a piece of trash in `Red Fire Town`, suffering daily humiliation and scorn.
