Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Conjecture about the Blood-colored Broken Sword

Since his reincarnation, Ye Yun had seldom used the physical strength of the Ancestor Dragon’s Body in combat. However, this time, facing the Dark Heavenly Dragon’s claw, he directly unleashed the terrifying power of the Ancestor Dragon’s Body, sending it flying with a single punch.

This claw had already transformed into an Undead creature, its nature vicious and unruly. I have to teach it a lesson, Ye Yun resolved.

His figure flashed, tearing through the void. Appearing in mid-air, he seized the thick iron chain and yanked it forcefully.

CLANG!

The black dragon claw was instantly dragged back.

BOOM!

Ye Yun struck it again, sending it hurtling towards the Abyss.

Against Ye Yun’s immense power, this Dark Heavenly Dragon’s claw, despite possessing Divine Sovereign Realm strength, was utterly outmatched.

CLANG!

Ye Yun yanked the chain again, dragging the black dragon claw back.

WHINE!

Struck twice consecutively, the Dark Dragon Claw was grievously wounded. Black blood oozed from its scales. It roared and lunged at Ye Yun once more.

BOOM!

Ye Yun’s fist shot out, sending the Dark Heavenly Dragon’s claw flying yet again. Gripping the chain with one hand, he delivered a barrage of punches with the other, leaving the Dark Dragon Claw severely wounded.

Despite its injuries, the Dark Dragon Claw remained fiercely defiant, seemingly determined to fight to its last breath as long as it lived.

Ye Yun frowned. This thing is truly hard to deal with, he mused.

With that, he pointed a finger and uttered a low command, ”Immobilize!”

The potent Divine Skill, the Mind Restraint Technique, instantly froze the Dark Dragon Claw in mid-air. Unable to move, the Dark Dragon Claw could only emit pained whimpers.

Ye Yun shook his head and sighed. This was once the claw of a Dark Heavenly Dragon, one of the Ten Super Divine Dragons. To think it would be reduced to such a state after being sealed for millions of years.

I wonder... is the main body of the Dark Heavenly Dragon still alive?

At that moment, Ye Yun activated his Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye. Within his pupils, innumerable tiny, star-like runes pulsed with the rhythm of creation and destruction as he attempted to read the Dark Dragon Claw’s memories.

With no wards or restrictions present, Ye Yun easily accessed its memories. A vast panorama unfolded before him.

A Black Giant Dragon, many times larger than mountain ranges, roared towards the heavens, its furious cries echoing as it battled terrifying Spirits who were barely clinging to life.

The battle was so cataclysmic that the sky turned grim and the sun and moon vanished; it was an exceptionally brutal conflict.

That Black Giant Dragon was none other than the Dark Heavenly Dragon, one of the Ten Super Divine Dragons. It was single-handedly battling three formidable experts at the Divine King Realm.

Although not at a disadvantage, it failed to gain any significant upper hand. The battle reached a tense stalemate.

Suddenly, one of the Divine Kings produced a treasure box. From within, he drew a Scarlet Broken Sword and slashed viciously at the Dark Heavenly Dragon.

A streak of blood-red light tore through the night sky. The Dark Heavenly Dragon, unable to dodge, had one of its claws brutally severed.

The Dark Heavenly Dragon, its claw severed, let out an agonized roar. From the stump of its limb, a layer of bizarre, crimson fur suddenly sprouted.

The memory abruptly ended there. Beyond this, Ye Yun found nothing more within the Dark Dragon Claw.

That Scarlet Broken Sword... Ye Yun’s expression grew grave. In that fleeting glimpse moments ago, he had noticed three scarlet eyes upon the sword’s blade.

These three scarlet eyes were exceptionally eerie; however, they remained closed, not yet open.

Ye Yun had an odd premonition: If the blood-red eyes on this broken sword were to open, something unimaginable would likely occur.

Ye Yun turned, his gaze directed towards The Tenth Sea Region. At that instant, the scene he had witnessed on Moon Star replayed in his mind.

He had once beheld a phantasmal image of the Ancestor Dragon. At that time, the Ancestor Dragon had mentioned that a broken sword lay sealed on Moon Star.

Could that be... the Scarlet Broken Sword from the Dark Dragon Claw’s memories?

After all, when that broken sword had struck the Dark Heavenly Dragon, a layer of brightly colored, unsettling crimson fur had sprouted from the wound.

This thought weighed heavily on Ye Yun’s heart. The Dark Heavenly Dragon had to suppress that bizarre energy while simultaneously contending with three Divine Kings. Its chances of survival must have been slim.

Ye Yun shook his head, banishing the distracting thoughts, his focus returning to the Dark Dragon Claw. Even gravely injured, the claw showed no signs of submission; its defiance was unmistakable.

With a mental command, Ye Yun tugged the chain, pulling the Dark Dragon Claw into his Divine Pet Warehouse. Immediately thereafter, a wisp of his Primordial Spirit also entered the space.

”Eh? What’s this?” The moment the Dark Dragon Claw entered the dark expanse of the warehouse, it caught the attention of several Divine Pets.

”It’s a claw! Did Master lop it off?” one Divine Pet chirped with a laugh.

”Wow, this big black claw is incredibly powerful! Its cultivation base is certainly not low,” another Divine Pet exclaimed in astonishment.

With a flicker of his form, Ye Yun materialized before the Dark Dragon Claw. His appearance instantly caused a stir throughout the Divine Pet Warehouse.

”Master, you haven’t visited in ages!”

”Master, have you forgotten all about us?”

”We’re practically dying of boredom in here...”

”Master, please, can you take us out too?”

Within the dark expanse, terrifying gazes lit up one by one, and colossal figures began to stir.

”I’ve been rather busy lately, so I haven’t had the time to come by,” Ye Yun explained with a smile, looking at these endearing yet formidable Divine Pets.

”Master, what’s the point of bringing this claw in here? Is it for us to eat?” a massive shadow with bright, glittering eyes rumbled.

Ye Yun chuckled. ”No, this isn’t for you to eat. I mainly wanted to find a place where it could settle down and be quiet.”

”Master, just leave it to me! I promise I’ll take excellent care of it!” one Divine Pet immediately volunteered.

Ye Yun shook his head. Surveying his surroundings, he mused aloud, ”I seem to recall we have some Undead-type Divine Pets in the warehouse. Where are they now?”

”Ah, so Master is looking for those half-dead creatures? We herded them to the very back. We even sectioned off an area for them to stay put,” one Divine Pet explained with a chuckle.

”Why herd them so far away?” Ye Yun inquired with a smile.

”Those things stink to high heaven! We absolutely had to drive them far off so their stench wouldn’t bother us.”

”Precisely! We gave them their own designated zone. They’re all crammed in there together, so they only have to endure each other’s deathly odor, HAHA!”

The Divine Pets chattered excitedly, each vying to be heard. Listening to them, Ye Yun felt rather speechless.

Still, he found it acceptable. The Divine Pets in his warehouse varied greatly in level and strength, so segregating them into different zones wasn’t necessarily a bad idea.

At the very least, they hadn’t killed those Undead-type Divine Pets. It demonstrated that these endearing creatures, for all their boisterousness, still operated with a certain moral baseline.
