159: Sacrificial Artifact“The first Demonic Dragon between Heaven and Earth?”

Qin Jiang chewed on the words, then looked up after a moment, “Did the Demonic Dragon come about through mutation?”

The Dragon Ancestor lay on the sacrificial altar, its eight demonic horns appearing somewhat rough, and its already whitened dragon whiskers moved with its breath, looking at Qin Jiang with a casual air.

“Mutation? No, it came through Cultivation. I was originally the Crown Prince of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Clan, but then Heaven and Earth changed, and Devilish Qi ran rampant.

I gathered the scattered Devilish Qi between Heaven and Earth and achieved this Demonic Dragon physique. After that, my descendants became the Demonic Dragon Clan.”

Qin Jiang’s eyes flickered. The corrosive nature of Devilish Qi was extremely potent.

And that was during the Secret Martial Artist period. If it were to rise to Divine Warrior, or even Immortal Rank, the destructive power would be unimaginable.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it could slaughter cities and destroy countries!

If someone could embody and absorb the Devilish Qi during its rampage, that would be a great deed of salvation. Why would he be locked up here?

No, and who would have the power to lock him up here?

“Why are you locked up here?” he asked.

“Locked? Not really. Thirty thousand years ago, after I achieved the Demonic Dragon physique, the Devilish Qi scattered throughout Heaven and Earth naturally gathered within me.

Gradually, I couldn’t bear it and sometimes fell into a frenzy. Therefore, I sought out the Yu Emperor of that time and set up the Dragon Trapping Array here to wear away the Devilish Qi within my body.”

Thirty thousand years?!

Qin Jiang’s pupils constricted. Although the records in ancient texts were not clear, the Ancient Yu Country had been destroyed thousands of years ago, and no one knew how long it had actually existed.

If what the Dragon Ancestor said was true, then the Ancient Yu Country had existed for a very long time.

Even more terrifying was that this old Dragon had actually lived for thirty thousand years?

No, he had been imprisoned for thirty thousand years!

Before that, who knew how long he had already lived!

An Immortal Rank existence? Or higher?

Having been imprisoned for thirty thousand years, he still possessed power comparable to a True God Peak in his normal state. This was something that even the Xianzu of the Xia Country could not achieve!

As far as he knew, the Immortal Ancestor of the Xia Country lived for less than ten thousand years, and that Immortal Ancestor should have just passed ten thousand years old, but now he had reached his limit.

From this, it can be seen that this Dragon Ancestor, even if not an existence above True Immortal, was at least a top-tier existence among True Immortals!

“Hehe, what’s wrong? Boy, are you scared?” The Dragon Ancestor’s laughter was ancient, yet carried a sense of relaxation. He hadn’t seen a junior from his Clan in a very, very long time.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, “I only heard that a True God’s Lifespan is three thousand years. I didn’t expect any being to live for over thirty thousand years.”

“There’s nothing to be surprised about. Our Dragon Clan’s Lifespan is inherently among the best of all spirits. Immortal Rank Dragons can easily live for over ten thousand years, and a True Immortal Peak with a special bloodline like myself can have a Lifespan of nearly fifty thousand years.”

The Dragon Ancestor laughed, his voice weak. Having been trapped here for many years, his Dragon Qi had been greatly consumed, and his Lifespan had consequently declined. He didn’t have many centuries left to live.

“I am not of the Dragon Clan,” Qin Jiang said.

The Dragon Ancestor was startled by this, its blood-red eyes looking at Qin Jiang, its massive pupils reflecting Qin Jiang’s figure.

“Hehe, I know. But you do indeed have the bloodline of my Demonic Dragon Clan. This is quite normal. Many of my Demonic Dragon descendants intermarried with the Human Race back then.

At that time, there were no irreconcilable conflicts between the myriad races, until later, conflicts gradually arose over the struggle for resources,” the Dragon Ancestor said.

Qin Jiang’s brow twitched. He hadn’t expected the myriad races to coexist ten thousand years ago.

However, it now seemed that the Human Race had become the ultimate overlord.

“Then why haven’t you left now that the Devilish Qi has dissipated?”

Hoo~

The Dragon Ancestor sighed, “When the Devilish Qi was still profound, the power of Yellow Sky Divine Mother invaded, causing a projection of Yellow Sky Divine Mother to descend, destroying the Yu Country.

At that time, I was at a critical juncture in my struggle against the Devilish Qi. By the time I reacted, the Yu Country was already destroyed, and my strength had declined to its extreme during my struggle with the Devilish Qi, losing the power to break through the Dragon Trapping Array.

Now, after being Sealed for many years, my Dragon body has become one with this Dragon Trapping Array, and I cannot leave this island.

However, my inverse scale has returned, and I can slowly recover my strength. Once I return to the True Immortal Realm, I can refine this island.

At that time, my movements will no longer be restricted.”

He hadn’t spoken to a living being in a very long time, so he couldn’t help but lose some control.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, “Congratulations, Senior.”

“Hehe, to be honest, I actually have something I want to ask of you. Of course, I have a reward for you: an Immortal Artifact from the Yu Country’s sacrifices.”

As he spoke, a white light emanated from the pit behind him, and a bronze ring slowly ascended into the air.

“This is an Immortal Artifact personally forged by the Great Priest of the Yu Country back then. Although it hasn’t been nourished for tens of thousands of years and has lost its Power Of Faith, it can still, by its very nature, release a defensive barrier strong enough to withstand an attack from a True God Peak.”

He spoke, his eyes filled with recollection. That woman was truly unforgettable to a Dragon.

“What is it?” Qin Jiang asked.

“It’s nothing major. You just need to go to Dragon Island for me and inform the current Clan Chief of the Dragon Clan that I, Ao Yun, am still alive, and ask him to bring the Myriad Dragon Blood,” the Dragon Ancestor said.

“Alright,” Qin Jiang nodded, raising his hand slightly. The bronze ring fell into his hand, and a cool current flowed into his body.

【Potential points absorbing. 46911】

【Potential points: 1286.4】

“It seems you are very pleased with this Divine Artifact,” the Dragon Ancestor laughed.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, “If Senior has no further instructions, I shall take my leave now, so I can deliver the message as soon as possible.”

“No rush. I will give you another item, called the golden scale bracelet. This item was left behind when I transformed into a Demonic Dragon and is a symbol of my status as the Dragon Clan’s Crown Prince.

Dragon Island is hard to find and rarely appears in this world. It usually remains hidden in the Void Realm. This bracelet can give you a hint when Dragon Island appears, and with your speed, you won’t miss it.”

As he spoke, golden light emanated from the Dragon Ancestor’s brow, and a golden bracelet appeared, carved with scale-like patterns.

Taking the bracelet, another cool current flowed into his body, bringing his total potential points to 1968.5.

“Senior is so trusting?” Qin Jiang asked with a smile.

He could feel that the power contained within this golden scale bracelet was immense. If fully unleashed, it could even severely injure his current self.

One must know that he was already a True God Peak existence at this time, second only to the Immortal Ancestors of various countries on the Divine Martial Continent.

Furthermore, his actual combat power, bolstered by the God-Demon True Scripture and the Qi Kings Chaotic Sky Halberd, two highly compatible Martial arts, was even above that of an ordinary True God Peak.

This golden scale bracelet was very likely also a semi-crippled Immortal Artifact.

It made sense. The Dragon Clan was powerful, and it was said that there was more than one Immortal Ancestor within the Clan. As a Crown Prince, it was normal to possess an Immortal Artifact for protection.

“Trusting? Of course. You have the blood of my Dragon Clan, and you will visit the Dragon Clan sooner or later.”

Above the sea, Qin Jiang gazed at the Huai Country army’s warships, sensing an extremely powerful aura among them, which should be Fushan, the True God of the Huai Country.

What surprised him was that besides Fushan, there were only a few Divine Warrior auras, and each was no higher than the third rank.

After a moment of hesitation, he still did not make a move.

This area was open, and if Fushan was determined to escape, he might not be able to catch him.

However, judging by the situation, a general offensive seemed imminent. At that time, as long as he could lure him to Wanghai City, he wouldn’t have to worry about the opponent escaping.

By then, even if the opponent had an Immortal Artifact for protection, he was confident he could kill him!

His figure disappeared above the sea, finding a hidden spot at the bottom of the ocean.

He looked at his panel, and with a thought:

‘Potential, Qi Kings Chaotic Sky Halberd, max out.’

Traditional Chinese medicine is really bitter, hiss~
