"Fat Cat, what kind of demonic beast is that? It's so huge and so terrifying." Long Chen quickly communicated with Kitten through the Great Virtual Realm.
He was retreating with Bai Lan and the others.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a rank nine emperor tier purple-blood dragon. It's not even a monster. Back in the day, I could blow countless purple-blood dragons to death with a single breath." In the Great Virtual Realm, the furry dream demon lazily opened his eyes and said.
"Rank nine Emperor level."
Long Chen sucked in a cold breath.
It was as strong as a cultivator in the ninth level of the Sky Martial Realm.
Long Chen had just risen from the first level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm. He knew how big the difference between the first and the ninth level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm was. It was like the difference between heaven and earth. Bai Lan and the others were Purple Blood Flood Dragons of the ninth level of the Emperor level. Without a doubt, if the Purple Blood Flood Dragon wanted to attack, it could easily kill Bai Lan and the others with a single swipe of its claw.
Long Chen estimated that the Purple-blood Flood Dragon was at most a rank three Emperor level.
He hadn't expected it to be a rank nine Emperor level.
"Kitten, you didn't lie to me. It really is a rank nine Emperor level."
Asked Long Chen as he retreated. He knew that there was no point in retreating. Even if he used the Blood Escape Technique, he wouldn't be able to escape alone. "Why would I lie to you?
It's not the first time you've seen it. What's there to be afraid of? The Purple-blood Flood Dragon is a demonic beast from the Desolate Imperial Realm. It's a Demon Emperor level monster. It's not surprising that it's a rank nine Emperor level monster, "said Kitten lazily, stretching his waist.
This made Mo Xiaolang, who was next to him, want to slap him.
If Kitten was outside the Great Virtual Realm, he would have been scared shitless. He wouldn't have said such sarcastic things if he was in the Great Virtual Realm and he wasn't in danger.
"I've seen it before."
Long Chen thought for a moment and remembered that night when Kitten had gone to Mi Cheng alone. Through the Great Virtual Dragon Talisman, Long Chen had seen purple scales on one of the men's hands. Long Chen guessed that the Purple-blood Flood Dragon was one of the six demons.
Long Chen was relieved when he thought of this, because he knew that if that was the case, the purple-blood flood dragon would not do anything to them. Instead, it would tell Bai Lan and the others how to open the Five Emperors' treasures.
Just as Long Chen imagined, the Purple-blood Flood Dragon's appearance changed very quickly. Its huge body disappeared and turned into a purple light. It gradually condensed into a handsome man in a purple robe in mid-air. This man looked exactly like a human. There were no purple scales on his hands, but Long Chen knew that this was a transformation. If he was in his natural state, his hands would definitely be covered in scales.
"Don't run, I have no ill intentions towards you …" As Long Chen had expected, the purple-clothed man had a warm smile on his face as he spoke indifferently.
Hearing his voice, the people who were fleeing in panic seemed to stop under some mysterious magic. Even Bai Lan and the others stopped. The three of them looked at each other in dismay before looking at the purple-robed man warily. Bai Lan softly said, "I don't know what background this Demonic Beast has. Let's observe the situation first. If the situation isn't right, we'll split up and flee."
"That's right … Our ancestors have never told us that there would be such a terrifying demon beast in this Tianyi Lake. This giant flood dragon … I don't think there are any records of such a demon beast in the 'Demon Beast Record'." Lei Ji's voice was filled with unease and fear.
He predicted that if the Purple-blood Flood Dragon was really angry and started killing people, not many people here would be able to survive.
"Don't worry, I don't think he has any intention of killing anyone. Otherwise, he wouldn't have turned into a human."
Long Chen knew the truth, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not. Thus, he temporarily comforted them.
Long Chen's words made sense.
Thinking this through, Lei Ji and Bai Lan heaved a sigh of relief. They obediently stayed in the crowd and waited for the situation to develop.
At the same time, the people of the Five Elements Alliance and the Divine Wind Bloodline were in a similar situation. In front of this powerful monster, even Wu Lian stood quietly.
At this moment, no one dared to move. Their gazes were focused on the Purple-blood Flood Dragon above Tianyi Lake. They didn't dare to make a sound and could only look at him obediently.
This silent scene made the Purple-blood Flood Dragon very satisfied. He smiled and nodded, and his melodious voice spread all around.
"I am Zi Xue, a monster under the Mystic Thearch of the Five Emperors. I have lived for more than ten thousand years. That year, the Five Emperors led the experts of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Domain to fight against the enemy. There were many casualties, and only I, Zi Xue, survived. However, I don't think my legend has been passed down. Too many people died that year …"
At this point, Zi Xue revealed a sorrowful expression.
Hearing these words, the others were truly relieved.
"Indeed, in the legends, there's no such monster as Zi Xue …"
"That's right. In the legends, the Five Emperors didn't seem to have any monsters under them."
"This flood dragon has actually lived for more than ten thousand years? Doesn't that mean that his strength is considered very strong among the emperors …"
The crowd discussed softly, not daring to speak too much.
Long Chen laughed in his heart. This Purple-Blood Flood Dragon was really shameless. It actually pretended to be a demonic beast under the Mystic Thearch. They only had one goal, and that was the Five Thearchs' treasures. Hence, everything was related to the Five Thearchs' treasures.
Long Chen looked at Bai Lan and Lei Ji. From their expressions, they seemed to have already believed him. There wasn't much information left behind about the war between the Five Emperors. They didn't even know who the enemies of the Five Emperors were. However, Long Chen knew that the enemies of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Domain were actually some of the monsters from the Desolate Emperor Domain.
In the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Domain, this would be a catastrophe. However, to the monsters of the Desolate Emperor Domain, this was only a small matter.
The enemies of the Five Emperors were monsters. How could such a powerful Purple-blood Flood Dragon be a monster under the Mystic Thearch's command?
One had to know that the strength of this Purple-blood Flood Dragon was comparable to the Seven Brilliance Star Lords.
Long Chen only had the strength he had today because he had obtained the inheritance of the Seven Brilliance Star Lords.
At this moment, after hearing the Purple-blood Flood Dragon's self-introduction, the ordinary cultivators quickly believed it. Starting from the first person who knelt on the ground, many others followed suit.
Of course, there were some who didn't believe it. However, since everyone had knelt, what would they do if the monster didn't kneel and killed them instead?
Therefore, everyone knelt one after another.
The only ones who hadn't knelt were probably the people from the Nine Great Clans. Without the permission of the clan leader, the others didn't dare to make any rash moves. Of course, if the clan leader took the lead, they would definitely kneel without hesitation.
"You don't have to kneel before me."
At this moment, the purple-robed man smiled and said. His gaze shifted to where Long Chen and the others were and said, "I am still alive so that the descendants of the Five Emperors can search for the treasures left behind by their ancestors. Now that the Five Emperors' Keys have appeared, I have appeared today to inform those who have obtained the Five Emperors' Keys. In five months' time, bring the Five Emperors' Keys to the center of the ruined city in the Eternal Battlefield. There, a Five-Colored Altar will appear. That will be the entrance to the Five Emperors' Mystic Realm …"
This news caused a huge uproar.
The people who had the Five Emperors' Keys exchanged glances and were even more convinced of the purple-robed man's words. Previously, they had indeed been most suspicious about the Eternal Battlefield. After all, that was the core.
After saying that, the purple-robed man added, "You are all descendants of the Five Emperors. I hope that after you possess the treasures left behind by them, you will be able to strengthen the Ten Thousand Kingdoms. If anyone uses the treasures of the Five Emperors for evil purposes, then one day, I, Zi Xue, will appear in front of you and take away the treasures of the Five Emperors …"
After saying that, the purple-robed man didn't say anything else and immediately dove into Tianyi Lake. He didn't use Tracking Technique again.
"He really left fast …" Long Chen squinted his eyes. In his Soul-Devouring Demon Eyes, he saw that the purple-robed man didn't dive into the bottom of the lake. Instead, he left in another direction at a speed that was hard to catch with the naked eye. This meant that he wasn't a demonic beast under the Xuan Thearch but someone from the Desolate Emperor Domain who coveted the treasures of the Five Emperors.
This fellow was a ninth-grade Martial Emperor. Of course, the other six wouldn't be weak either. If that was the case, then Long Chen would have to face six such terrifying opponents.
"In this way, wanting to obtain the treasures of the Five Emperors would simply be more difficult than ascending the heavens …" A trace of powerlessness appeared in Long Chen's heart.
If it wasn't for his dream of pursuing Lingxi, Long Chen would really want to give up.
After the purple-robed man left, Long Chen noticed that the surroundings were in complete chaos. The ordinary martial artists discussed animatedly. To them, this was simply a miracle.
"I truly never imagined that a demonic beast under the Xuan Thearch would actually be able to survive until now. Looks like many of the rules of the game in the Primeval Cemetery were probably set by this demonic beast called Zi Xue, including the Primeval Tomb Token, and not by those mysterious guests from the Emperor Domain." Bai Lan frowned as he spoke.
He imagined that the Primeval Cemetery was left behind by the Five Emperors to temper their descendants.
What he didn't know was that the Purple-Blood Water Dragon was actually one of the guests from the Emperor Domain.
Bai Lan was deeply convinced, and so were the other clan leaders, especially the people from the Five Elements Alliance. They felt that the Mystic Thearch Key that they obtained must have been given to them by the Purple-Blood Water Dragon. After all, they were the direct descendants of the Five Emperors. They were the group of people who had the bloodline of the Five Emperors.
