After a while, Xiao Chen recovered from his daze and even felt a chill run down his spine.
Dragon Jiaotu had sensed his true body. This was a Divine Beast from the Desolate Era, not a mixed-blood but a true descendant of the Divine Blood, with the bloodline of Divine Beasts flowing through his veins!
"Little Jiaotu, are you sure your true body is still here?"
Xiao Chen suddenly asked with some uncertainty. This matter was truly beyond his imagination. If he were to pull Dragon Jiaotu's body out from the Desolate Era and bring it back to the Martial Epoch, what kind of shock would there be?
What kind of shockwave would this be? This was a divine beast!
Monarchs were mighty and boundless, but even they could not withstand the erosion of time. On the other hand, Divine Beasts were unaffected by the passage of time. Their Divine Powers could penetrate through time and space. If he were to form a contract with them and share their lives, wouldn't that mean that he would obtain a different kind of immortality?
"Although the Great Comet Mountain has been reduced to ruins, I can still sense the aura. That is where my true body is, there is no mistake!"
Dragon Jiaotu's resolute voice was transmitted to Xiao Chen's mind.
"Alright!"
In the next moment, Xiao Chen headed towards the center of the vast ruins. The deeper he went, the more he discovered that the battle that had taken place here had been so intense. The ground had been pierced through, forming a chasm.
Even the void had been shattered, but because of the mighty Divine Powers, the shattered space-time could not heal.
Just like that, it had turned into a black hole in the void, emitting a terrifying aura. With just a glance, one would feel as though they would be sucked in!
Weng!
Weng!
Weng!
A violent airflow flashed and passed through Xiao Chen's body, tearing the void behind him. If not for the different space-time in the depths, Xiao Chen would not have been able to move an inch on this land.
"It's still ahead, in the center of the mountain range. My cave is there."
At this moment, Jiaotu's aura seemed somewhat excited. To be able to see his former home was something he did not even dare to hope for.
As Xiao Chen ran at full speed, the closer he got to the center of the Great Comet Mountain, the lighter the ruins became. There were even ancient mountains standing tall. Although there were traces of battle, the mountains had not collapsed.
At this moment, Xiao Chen finally discovered that something was wrong. He stood in midair and looked at the wasteland below. How was this a wasteland? It was simply an incomparably huge claw that had clawed it open.
More and more ancient mountains appeared in front of Xiao Chen. Each and every one of them gave off an ancient aura and were wrapped in surging air currents.
"There, there!"
Under Jiaotu's guidance, Xiao Chen saw an incomparably huge ancient mountain. The ancient mountain had been broken into three sections, and the topmost section had already turned into dust, disappearing with the passage of time.
As for the second section, it was directly cut in the middle. The mountain rock where it was cut off was as sharp as a knife, piercing through the sky. Even so, the mountain peak that appeared before Xiao Chen's eyes was still three hundred kilometers tall!
The top section had long since been reduced to dust and disappeared with the passage of time. It occupied thousands of miles of land. Xiao Chen had only seen such a tall mountain range in the Eastern Royal Region.
Jiaotu had said that his divine body was in this ancient mountain.
"There is a divine stele outside the ancient mountain."
Following Jiaotu's guidance, Xiao Chen found a stone stele that was thousands of feet tall at the foot of the mountain. However, this stone stele was also broken down from the middle and was covered in dense cracks.
"Rou Mountain Jiaotu Dragon Palace!"
Xiao Chen murmured softly as he vaguely recognized the divine characters on the stone stele. Even though he had traversed through time, the majesty of a god still remained. Golden lotuses appeared around him, and divine lights filled the sky.
"Divine Azure Dragon, conferred the title of Rou Mountain Jiaotu Dragon King in the Eastern Divine Region. He will rule the lands around Yumao Mountain on behalf of the Divine Azure Dragon … All the gods under his rule, the gods of ancient mountains and great rivers, the gods of plants and spirits … all the great beasts of the wasteland … will be ruled by Dragon King Jiaotu … He will obey orders at all times to stabilize the divine land."
In the end, Xiao Chen gained some understanding of Jiaotu's father, the Dragon King, according to the records on the divine stele.
To be conferred the title of Dragon King by Divine Azure Dragon, he must be a powerhouse. Just what had happened for Dragon King Jiaotu to act in such a manner and send his son's divine soul into the mysterious Sea of Bitterness?
Just like that, Xiao Chen stepped into Pyrolyte Mountain with some doubts. From the outside, it looked like a majestic mountain, but there was a universe within.
However, it had lost its former beauty and had turned into a desolate land. All living creatures and plants had withered and prostrated on the ground.
"Jiaotu, can you sense the exact location of your true body?"
Xiao Chen suddenly asked Jiaotu anxiously. He actually felt his heart palpitate at this moment. In the past, every time his heart palpitated, a great danger would descend.
At this moment, Xiao Chen believed that his senses couldn't be wrong.
He could sense that the danger was coming from within Pyrolyte Mountain. It was easy to imagine how great the power of the great existence was to be able to traverse space-time and sense danger.
"It's just ahead. My father has sealed my body in the depths of the mountain range. That's why my divine body was able to survive the destruction of Pyrolyte Mountain!"
At this moment, Jiaotu seemed to sense something and quickly guided Xiao Chen towards the depths of the mountain range.
After a few breaths, the scene in front of Xiao Chen suddenly changed. He had actually entered the interior of Pyrolyte Mountain, where there was an incomparably huge palace.
Dragon pillars propped up the huge palace, which was thousands of meters tall.
However, the entire palace was in a sealed state, and illusory power constantly floated around it. Xiao Chen didn't dare move recklessly. This was probably the bloodline seal of Jiaotu's family!
Buzz!
A moment later, divine power surged around Xiao Chen's body as an illusory Jiaotu appeared. It had a dragon's head and a conch's body, and it exuded an extremely dense bloodline power. It actually formed a connection with ancient space-time!
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz!
Then, a mysterious power emitted from Jiaotu's Divine Soul and gently touched the seal above the palace.
Roar!
In an instant, a faint dragon's roar resounded, causing Xiao Chen's soul to tremble. It carried a noble aura.
Divine light burst forth, and one could vaguely see an imposing Jiaotu standing tall. The divine light was like a waterfall, and the noble aura was like a tide. A great majesty descended upon his body.
Hmm?
With a muffled groan, Xiao Chen's body was sent flying, and he repeatedly smashed through the void behind him. Finally, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. It was just a faint wisp of aura that couldn't be any fainter, but it had severely injured him across space-time.
Buzz!
In the next moment, a divine multicolored light appeared in the depths of Xiao Chen's eyes. A desolate land appeared, with many Holy Beasts worshiping it. Auspicious Qi surged like the sea on an ancient throne, and a hazy, illusory figure appeared.
"Jiaotu Dragon King!"
Xiao Chen roared, and his figure suddenly transformed, turning into a gigantic dragon head jiaotu that traversed the horizon. An ancient and noble majesty trampled through space-time, traversing through the eons to descend.
When the dizziness in front of Xiao Chen disappeared, he discovered that he had entered a great palace. Just like the illusory figure from before, there was a universe within the great palace, and it was actually a vast world.
On top of the ancient divine mountain, there was a divine throne. The majestic figure of the Dragon King was sitting on the throne just like that.
"Father!"
Little Jiaotu shouted.
Buzz!
In that instant, without any warning, that majestic figure on the divine throne at the summit of the Divine Peak actually opened his eyes, immediately dazzling Xiao Chen.
"Go!"
Like a great bell, an imposing and domineering voice exploded in his spiritual world!
It was Jiaotu Dragon King!
He's awake!
Xiao Chen's eyes were filled with shock. On the divine throne, Dragon King Jiaotu stretched out his hand, and a vast amount of divine power wrapped around a smaller Jiaotu, smashing towards Xiao Chen!
It was Little Jiaotu's divine body!
Before he could react, Xiao Chen was already imprisoned, and he could only watch helplessly as Jiaotu's divine body smashed towards him.
Buzz!
Space-Time shook, and Little Jiaotu's divine body directly smashed through space-time, colliding with Xiao Chen. However, the expected scene of his muscles and bones breaking did not appear. Instead, Jiaotu's body smashed into Xiao Chen's body.
More accurately, Jiaotu's divine body entered Xiao Chen's little world, and even Jiaotu's divine soul was brought into that little world.
By the time Xiao Chen recovered his senses, the great palace had already changed color. Dragon King Jiaotu had actually stepped out from the divine throne and stood in front of him.
Through the gap between his hands and feet, Xiao Chen saw another figure appear out of thin air.
This figure could barely be called a person, but it was like a body of energy, tightly wrapped in robes. It also exuded a vast divine might as it smashed towards Dragon King Jiaotu.
However, Xiao Chen could feel a repulsion coming from this figure. This was a repulsion that was different from the bloodlines of the Hundred Races. Rather, it was a repulsion from the very source.
With just a single glance, Xiao Chen determined that this figure was his great enemy without any basis!
In the next moment, Dragon King Jiaotu turned around and his voice echoed out.
"Break through space-time, return to the Desolate Wilderness, and restart the battle of gods!"
Dragon King Jiaotu didn't care if Xiao Chen heard him or not. Dragon King Jiaotu's hand smashed towards Xiao Chen. In an instant, Xiao Chen felt as if he had broken through space-time.
The ancient Desolate Wilderness was like a mirror that began to shatter in his eyes. He was swept away by a supreme force as he smashed through space-time!
…
The Desolate Wilderness.
The Chakra King and Evil Slayer King protected Dragon Lantern God Monarch's body tightly. They looked at the space-time illusion at the peak of the sky with a hint of worry.
Rumble!
Rumble!
However, there was a sudden clap of thunder in the clear sky. The peak of the sky was instantly filled with purple and silver lightning that struck down towards the chaotic currents.
Kacha!
The lightning that originated from the depths of the void shattered the spatial shackles at the peak of the sky.
"Not good!"
Immediately, the Chakra King and Evil Slayer King were alarmed. They swept up Dragon Lantern God Monarch's body and retreated into the distance.
In an instant, accompanied by cries of alarm, the lightning that filled the sky directly tore through the chaotic currents. The originally manifested Desolate Wilderness and Nine Nether Netherworld Realm were all torn into nothingness in the blink of an eye!
"Saint!"
In the violent currents that filled the sky, a nine-colored light figure smashed through the lightning, broke through the void, and fell towards the Desolate Wilderness. Divine blood splattered everywhere, filling the world!
