Being chased by three sixth era Ancestral Gods and more than a dozen seventh era Ancestral Gods was a very dangerous thing to begin with.
If they were in outer space, they would be able to catch up to Long Chen in an instant.
But this was a cold lake. The deeper one went, the colder it got. Furthermore, it was black, and the cold lake water could hide many things. Even the Ancestral Gods couldn't see through it.
Whoosh whoosh.
Long Chen broke through the layers of water, but he could clearly sense that the pursuers were getting closer and closer.
"Long Chen, don't waste your energy. Hurry up and surrender. I gave you a chance last time, but don't even think about leaving safely this time." The Nine Yin Demon Ancestor's cold voice seemed to ring in Long Chen's ears.
"Ten Thousand Times Time Domain."
What Long Chen was doing was speeding up the flow of time around him. His speed was basically determined by how quickly the domain spread into the depths of the lake. Because time wasn't affected by the lake bottom, Long Chen's speed was relatively fast.
Because of this, Long Chen was able to just barely keep moving forward despite being chased by the powerful Elder Gods. Moreover, he was able to continuously activate the Death Realm Dragon Gate. In this way, it would be much easier for him to return to this place in the future.
They couldn't catch up to Long Chen at all. In fact, the gap between them was getting smaller and smaller.
After fifteen minutes of high-speed pursuit, the Ancestral Dragon's body was nearly frozen solid, but he still hadn't reached the bottom of the lake. He hadn't discovered anything. At this point, Long Chen was starting to doubt whether what he'd obtained from 'time' was real.
Suddenly, he was in mortal danger.
"It's that Sacred Ancestor Hou Yi."
Long Chen thought of this existence. He was once the supreme god and devil of the Burning Sun God Realm. He was most proficient in archery, and he was famous throughout the myriad worlds. Of course, it was because of Saint Ancestor Hou Yi. The essence of Saint Ancestor Hou Yi's world was the bow and arrow. The perfect combination of bow and arrow gave rise to the power of heaven.
Although he couldn't catch up to Long Chen, his arrow could, and it would pose a fatal threat to Long Chen.
That was when Hou Yi's arrow arrived.
At the critical moment, before the fatal danger befell him, Long Chen opened the Death World Dragon Gate and rushed into the Death World. Then, he quickly closed the gate. Even so, some of the power of the divine arrow still rushed in, causing the entire blood sea of the Death World to explode, roll, and even overturn.
Fortunately, he wasn't injured.
However, his advantage of widening the gap had been interrupted. This made Long Chen very depressed. However, after thinking about it carefully, he thought, "I'm now at the bottom of the lake. They don't know where I left so many Death Realm Dragon Gates. Now that I've improved greatly in the aspect of slaughter, it'll be very difficult for them to erase the traces of the Death Realm Dragon Gates. I can go back at any time."
Thinking of this, he was in a much better mood. He waited in the Death Reign for a while and heard from Liuyue and Lingxi that the Ancestor God that the Nine Yin Demon Ancestor had sent to the Dragon Sacrificial Continent had already arrived and was confronting Liuyue.
When Long Chen returned to the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, he immediately saw that Ancestor God. He originally wanted to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that just as he arrived, Long Chen and the other Ancestor God of the seventh era had already arrived.
"What, you want to cause trouble?"
Although this Ancestor God was also a Ancestor God of the seventh era, he was born at the end of an era and wasn't very strong. He should be weaker than Liuyue. Therefore, Liuyue said, "He won't dare to cause trouble. I'll stop him, so you can rest assured."
Seeing that there were two opponents and that he didn't know what Long Chen was capable of, he wasn't afraid. However, Demon Ancestor Satsuma made him apprehensive.
"Long Chen, you know your place in the end. Even if I can't do anything to you today, you won't have a good ending if you go against so many of us. Today, I came alone, but if we find out that you're still running to our territory, I reckon that when the Ancestor God of the sixth era arrives, I'll see how you're going to deal with it. You can escape in other places, but I'd like to see how you're going to escape in this Dragon Sacrificial Continent."
There were trillions of divine dragons on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent. This was Long Chen's foundation, a place that he had to protect. The opponent was right. If the Ancestor God of the sixth era came here in anger, Long Chen naturally wouldn't be able to leave.
There had to be a head-on confrontation.
This was the most serious threat to the opponent.
With that, the Ancestor God swaggered around and left.
"If someone of that level really comes, what should I do?"
Liuyue was worried again. When she became good friends with Long Chen, she realized that she really needed to worry about him all the time …
"Then I can only find what I'm looking for as soon as possible."
Long Chen said faintly. At this time, this Ancestor God would probably inform Mount Buzhou about the situation here, and they would probably send powerhouses to his base to suppress him.
Now that the burden on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent was too heavy, Long Chen could no longer take it back to his God Nation.
"Don't worry, before you come back, I'll help you block those people," Liuyue said firmly. Her logic was that she had to help Long Chen and repay his kindness.
Compared to this, the other Ancestor Gods were simply too far apart from Long Chen.
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
Actually, Long Chen wasn't afraid. Even if they came, they couldn't do anything to him. After all, this place was open and aboveboard, and the Ancestor God Alliance was in charge. Among the Ancestor Gods, there were too many who were willing to help him. It was just that Long Chen wanted to rely on himself for everything and didn't want to trouble others.
He bade farewell to everyone and came to the Death Reign. At about the same time, he found an exit that was least likely to be near those Ancestor Gods and immediately returned to the ice lake.
When he appeared here, there was still some commotion.
Demon Ancestor Nine Yin and the others were still patrolling nearby. They could feel the faint commotion.
"He's here again."
"Chase after him!"
For a moment, the dozen or so Ancestor Gods were furious.
"Long Chen, you've repeatedly ignored our advice and forced us. Don't blame us for being ruthless today."
"We've already said that this is our territory."
The pursuit began once again. But this time, Long Chen was experienced, so his opponents couldn't immediately grasp his position. Taking advantage of the chaos, Long Chen went deeper.
Before seeing what he was looking for with his own eyes, Long Chen wouldn't discuss it with them. Now, they thought that Long Chen was just causing trouble. At the same time, they were worried that Long Chen was snatching their territory.
"Just where is it …?"
Long Chen's eyes darkened. Like a fish, he dove deeper and deeper into the lake. He had a feeling that if he still hadn't found the Origin Dragon Soul and Sacred Ancestor Hou Yi caught up, he would still have to flee. Next time, there would probably be many Ancestor Gods heading straight for the Draconic Continent.
"Not at all, not at all."
He found 'Time' and tossed it into the lake, letting it lead the way. To his surprise, 'Time' actually trembled. Then, like a long snake, it slithered through the lake and led Long Chen deeper into the lake. Naturally, its target was the Origin Dragon Soul of the Void Eon Dragon.
"Wonderful."
The appearance of hope made Long Chen's entire body excited.
This scene was exactly the same as the Battle of Doomsday.
Back then, it was' Slaughter 'that led Long Chen to the Origin Dragon Soul of the Primordial Blood Spirit Dragon.
"If only I'd known, I would've taken out 'Time' earlier."
Long Chen was extremely excited. He flew at breakneck speed, and with the help of the 10,000-fold Time Domain, not even the three Sixth Era's Ancestor Gods could catch up to him. At this distance, Sacred Ancestor Hou Yi couldn't lock onto his position and attack him.
"That."
Finally, in the depths of the pitch-black lake, Long Chen saw a true blue radiance. It was like a sapphire at the bottom of the lake. This place was too well hidden. Could it be that no one could see it?
The bottom of the lake was also very vast. Without 'Time' to guide him, he probably wouldn't be able to find it.
Excited, Long Chen rapidly approached. Finally, he saw that it was an ice sculpture in the form of a divine dragon. Furthermore, it was a lifelike Void Eon Dragon.
It wasn't very large, and it was attached to the mountain wall with its head facing upwards. It looked like it was about to climb out of the bottomless abyss.
"The Origin Dragon Soul."
Long Chen was certain that this was the Origin Dragon Soul, but the question was … why was it in an ice crystal state? Furthermore, it seemed to be sealed. It didn't even react to Long Chen's arrival.
This made Long Chen understand that he had to take action. Only then would the Origin Dragon Soul of the Void Eon Dragon belong to him.
"I can first bring it back to the Time Tunnel to study it."
With this thought in mind, Long Chen approached the ice crystal divine dragon sculpture and reached out to grab it. But as he neared, he discovered that there was something like a swamp around the ice crystal sculpture. It was like a swamp of time. Long Chen's hand was trapped in it, unable to move it away.
"Long Chen."
At this time, the Creator Gods found his position and descended. They surrounded Long Chen, all of them looking very aggressive. In truth, they were also very troubled by Long Chen, because they knew that Long Chen's Death Reign allowed him to travel through this place at will. This was originally their territory, and it was naturally very depressing to let an outsider travel through it like that.
"Everyone, please don't be angry. Let's talk things out," said Long Chen hurriedly.
"Didn't I already say all the good things to you? Now it seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't leave this place easily. Even if you do, you'll come back again and again."
The Demon Ancestor Nine Yin wanted to attack, but she knew that Long Chen would still escape. When that happened, it would be another round of pursuit. The only way was to go to his Dragon Sacrificial Continent, where he wouldn't be able to escape.
"This is the last time. Everyone, this is the last time I'll come here. As long as you promise me that you'll give me some time to take this away, I swear I'll never come here again."
Long Chen said very sincerely.
"You want to take this lousy stone away?"
