They were the first Dragon Emperor of the Eternal Dragon City and the Massacre Dragon City, the Eternal Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Emperor.
The five dragon balls were so important that they had been guarding them for a long time. If not for the fact that only young dragons with the Ancestral Dragon Energy could step onto the Inheritance Dragon Ladder, they would have taken the five dragon balls away.
In fact, there were many experts lying in ambush around.
Time passed slowly.
"They're here."
About five days later, the team that Long Chen had followed finally crossed a large area of stars and arrived before the Cave of the Ancestral Dragon. The two Dragon Emperors noticed them very quickly.
"Is that the son of Long Qinglan?"
The Eternal Dragon Emperor squinted his eyes and looked at Long Chen in the crowd.
There was an unknown glow in his eyes.
Long Chen did not expect this person to be observing him. He had just arrived near the Cave of the Ancestral Dragon and was already deeply shocked by it. It was a rolling yellow smoke that covered the starry sky. There was a whirlpool in the middle. It was deep and illusory, as if it was very far away. It was difficult to look at it directly.
This was the Cave of the Ancestral Dragon.
The beauty knew what was in the depths of the cave.
The starry sky was also completely sealed by the rolling yellow energy. There was no way to go back. Everything after that was unknown.
The most eye-catching thing was the Inheritance Dragon Ladder that led to the entrance of the Cave of the Ancestral Dragon. It was snow-white, like a white jade dragon about to plunge into the Cave of the Ancestral Dragon. It seemed to correspond to the black jade dragon head. The Inheritance Dragon Ladder was also very huge. Although there were only 99 steps, it was actually tens of thousands of meters long. Each step was almost a hundred meters long.
The material of the Inheritance Dragon Ladder was similar to the black jade dragon head. The only difference was the color. One was black, the other was white.
The team of hundreds stopped in front of the Cave of the Ancestral Dragon.
This was the most sacred place. Therefore, when they came here, they looked at everything in front of them with sincere respect.
Someone announced, "The Supreme Ceremony's sacrificial ceremony will now begin."
Before the young dragons stepped on the Inheritance Dragon Ladder, there was a ceremony to worship. The ceremony was more complicated and needed to last for a day. This was to show respect to the ancestors and the origin of the divine dragons. It was a ceremony that had been passed down since ancient times.
The five Dragon Cities took the lead and began to pay their respects.
Long Chen followed the crowd, but his eyes never left the Inheritance Dragon Stairs and the Ancestral Dragon Cave.
"Jun Fusheng, Xing Qing, Long Haoge, Jiang Mo, and Jiang Ming … It seems that Long Chen isn't among the Dragon Whelps, but his Ancestral Dragon Essence surpasses everyone else."
Violent Blood Dragon Emperor frowned.
He had never said that Long Chen could not be an inherited dragon whelp.
Before this, the two Dragon Emperors already knew the name list. They thought that Long Chen's performance was not good, but now it seemed that his performance was too good.
"Going against the Black Jade Dragon Head's decision is not a good idea." Violent Blood Dragon Emperor shook his head.
The Eternal Dragon Emperor said, "Everyone has their own luck. Since he wasn't chosen, it means he doesn't have the fortune."
"But the Inheritance Dragon Ladder will attract him," Violent Blood Dragon Emperor said.
At this point, the Eternal Dragon Emperor did not comment.
Of course, Long Chen felt a strong attraction. The Inheritance Dragon Ladder was calling him, urging him, wishing that Long Chen could go there immediately. When he was paying respects to the ceremony, he saw the other inherited dragons around him. They seemed to be attracted too, but it was weak. They could not compare to Long Chen at all.
"It's calling me. How can I retreat?"
Long Chen was very calm.
He knew what he had to do. No matter how many people he offended, no matter how much the world did not approve of him, he could not be timid on this matter. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for him to come here.
Of course, he did not know that the two top figures in the world were closely watching his performance.
Violent Blood Dragon Emperor smiled. "He clearly has the most Ancestral Dragon Essence, but he did not become an inherited dragon whelp. Do you think he will be satisfied with that?"
The Eternal Dragon Emperor asked, "Could it be that with so many experts around, he can still do anything with his strength?"
Violent Blood Dragon Emperor laughed for a while and said, "Maybe you don't know this child as well as I do."
About a day later, the ceremony ended. The five inherited dragons were extremely excited. This was finally the time they had been waiting for.
The others were also extremely excited.
Long Chen had been so well-behaved along the way that everyone could not help but forget about him.
"Five inherited dragons, step forward and head to the Inheritance Dragon Ladder. Remember, you need to kneel once every time you step on the ladder."
"Yes."
The inherited dragons were extremely excited.
Everyone was looking forward to it.
"In the name of the Ancestral Dragon God, the inherited dragons will step on the Dragon Ladder and accept the sacred treasure bestowed by the Ancestral Dragon God. Glory to the human race, glory to the descendants of the Dragon God. May the human race live forever."
"Five inherited dragons, step forward."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Ming, Xing Qing, Jun Fusheng, Jiang Mo, and Long Haoge stepped out from their respective teams. They had already been attracted by the Inheritance Dragon Stairs, and all their attention was on it.
At this moment, everyone was less than a hundred meters away from the entrance of the Inheritance Dragon Ladder.
"Go."
The elders said with a smile.
These five inherited dragons would definitely be all-powerful figures in the future. They might even become the new Dragon Emperor.
The five of them set off with great enthusiasm.
Just when everyone had forgotten about Long Chen, he escaped into the river of time and rushed behind Jiang Ming in the blink of an eye.
In the void, the incorporeal figure's expression changed slightly. He murmured, "It's the Time Dragon …"
"As expected." This was completely within Violent Dragon Emperor's expectations.
In the blink of an eye, Long Chen released the Star Sacrifice, trapping Jiang Ming within it. His figure once again appeared in front of everyone. His movements were extremely swift and violent, leaving no time for anyone to react. Moreover, who would have thought that he would be so bold?
People at Xue Chi's level knew that even the Dragon Emperor might be nearby.
However, Long Chen did exactly that. He easily trapped Jiang Ming in the astral energy and stood in front of the other four inheritance dragon whelps. Behind him was the inheritance dragon staircase, but he didn't panic at all. He looked at the crowd with a calm gaze.
Everything happened in a flash.
The five teams from the Dragon Cities were instantly in chaos. But after all, this was a matter of the Slaughter Dragon City. Therefore, only the people from the Slaughter Dragon City were really making a move.
"Long Chen, put him down. I'll make sure you're fine."
Xue Chi's speed changed instantly. He was already in front of Long Chen.
Long Chen directly threw Jiang Ming towards Xue Chi. He took advantage of the terrifying attraction of the Inheritance Dragon Stairs and stepped onto the first step. There were so many experts in the Slaughter Dragon City, but none of them could stop him at this critical moment.
Apart from the inherited dragons, no one else could climb the Inheritance Dragon Ladder.
On the Slaughter Dragon City's side, Long Chen had already stepped on it. This meant that Jiang Ming could no longer become an inherited dragon.
For a moment, everyone was stunned in front of the Inheritance Dragon Ladder.
They did not expect that Long Chen would be so bold. He dared to openly disobey orders here, not giving face to Xue Chi and the other experts. After all, he had to come down from the Inheritance Dragon Ladder. Was he not afraid of punishment?
For a moment, most people looked at Long Chen angrily.
Xue Chi caught Jiang Ming and looked at Long Chen angrily. He had always taken care of Long Chen, but he did not expect Long Chen to not give him face this time.
Facing the crowd, Long Chen's expression was calm. He said, "I don't want to say too much about this matter. I'm the one who obtained the black jade dragon pearl's recognition, not Jiang Ming. Right now, the Inheritance Dragon Ladder is attracting me to go up, so I had to come here."
He looked around at the crowd and continued, "As for some people saying that I'm tarnishing the Inheritance Dragon Ladder, that's too ridiculous. Are they questioning the black jade dragon head's ability to choose? Are they questioning your ancestors? If that's the case, why let the black jade dragon head choose? You can choose yourselves."
He had already stepped on the Inheritance Dragon Ladder. Even if the rice was cooked, no one would be able to stop him.
His words also made the crowd speechless. In fact, they all knew this, but they did not want Long Chen to become the heir. They had a tacit understanding, but they did not expect Long Chen to make things difficult for them at this time.
"Everyone here is smart, so I won't say more. I'm here because the black jade dragon head and the Inheritance Dragon Ladder chose me, not you. I will do what I have to do and bring the Slaughter Dragon Pearl down for you. It's true that you are hostile to me because of my father's matter, but that's nothing. There will be justice in the world. One day, something will happen to you, and it will not be what you think it is."
Daring to speak to so many people here and make them feel helpless against him, this required great courage and ability. Long Chen had done it. At this moment, everyone was gnashing their teeth, but no one dared to refute him.
For a moment, the surroundings were dead silent.
At this time, the figure in the void and the blood mist were also talking.
Cruel Dragon Emperor said, "I knew he would do this."
"Hmph, his personality is much more shameless than Long Qinglan's. If he is allowed to become an ultimate elite, I'm afraid it will be a bigger disaster," Eternal Dragon Emperor said coldly.
"I think he will be very interesting."
Cruel Dragon Emperor laughed evilly.
At this time, the crowd heard Cruel Dragon Emperor's voice.
"I am the heir of the Slaughter City, Long Chen."
This short sentence made those who were thinking about how to punish Long Chen after he came down shut their mouths. They did not expect Cruel Dragon Emperor to be around, and to support Long Chen.
The crowd's expressions were uncertain.
"Cruel Dragon Emperor …"
Long Chen was very grateful. No matter what this person's purpose was, at least he had helped him every time, and now …
He thought of another question.
Since Cruel Dragon Emperor was here, what about the other Dragon Emperors from the other Dragon Cities?
