Chapter 602: Chapter 602: Meeting Lord Ancestor Dragon

Half-step God King Realm?

What kind of realm is this?

A huge question arose in the hearts of everyone in the jail.

This realm... is unheard of.

Who exactly is this youth in white robes? How could he startle this Black Dragon so much with just a single sentence?

”Who exactly are you?” the Black Dragon asked, its eyes narrowing as it stared intently at Ye Yun.

Despite seeming incredibly weak, he saw through my realm in a glance. He’s no ordinary person. In my heart, I instantly hypothesized that this white-robed youth was very likely from the Divine Land. He must be some powerful figure from the Divine Land, disguised as a cultivator at the First Level of the Life and Death Realm, who has entered the jail to assassinate me!

For a moment, it was so tense that the Dragon Scales all over its body bristled. Its aura intensified, becoming even more ferocious. In that instant, the powerful Super Divine Dragon Breath knocked everyone unconscious, except for Su Mountain and his daughter, Su Jinx, who were protected by Ye Yun.

”I am, of course, here to save you.” Ye Yun smiled faintly, a black key suddenly appearing in his hand.

Naturally, this key came from the deceased Black Dragon King inside Cloud Mark Cave.

The Black Dragon’s pupils suddenly contracted. What? It stared at the key in Ye Yun’s hand, its expression once again one of shock. This key... it’s the one that opens this jail! But hasn’t this key always been in its brother’s possession? How could it be in the hands of this white-robed youth?

”You must be a God King from the Divine Land! Did you kill my brother?” the Black Dragon asked excitedly, its eyes turning bloodshot.

”If I had killed your brother, would you still be alive?” Ye Yun smiled.

”This...” The Black Dragon drew a sharp breath, its expression dimming. The words of this mysterious white-robed youth held a certain truth. Its brother was one of the Eight Great Black Dragon Kings, a dignified God King Expert. If this white-robed youth truly had the power to kill its brother, then its own Half-step God King Realm cultivation base would be pitifully weak in his eyes.

The Black Dragon’s spirits plummeted. Crystalline tears flowed from its pitch-black pupils. Although it had long suspected its brother was no longer alive, hearing the white-robed youth’s words still filled its heart with an uncontrollable, intense grief.

”This poor Little Dragon...” Ye Yun sighed, watching the grieving Black Dragon.

In that moment, delicate symbols flashed in his eyes and vanished instantly. Beside him, Su Mountain and his daughter, Su Jinx, suddenly wore vacant expressions. Ye Yun did not want the two of them to know what would happen next. Thus, he temporarily blocked their five senses, causing them to fall into an illusion.

”Sir, what exactly have you done?” the Black Dragon asked, sensing something was amiss.

HUM!

Ye Yun’s body shifted slightly, and he immediately released a wave of the Ancestor Dragon’s Super Divine Dragon Breath. An overwhelming wave of Super Divine Dragon Breath pressed down, causing the Black Dragon to tremble uncontrollably as it stared at Ye Yun in disbelief.

”Lord Ancestor Dragon? How can you possibly be Lord Ancestor Dragon?” it exclaimed loudly.

”Insolent!” Ye Yun’s eyebrow twitched, and he released another wave of the Ancestor Dragon’s Super Divine Dragon Breath.

The powerful pressure from its very bloodline immediately made the Dark Divine Dragon submit. It transformed into a black-robed youth, descended from mid-air, and prostrated itself at Ye Yun’s feet.

”Greetings, Lord Ancestor Dragon!” The Dark Divine Dragon kowtowed repeatedly, its face a mask of fervent reverence.

”Get up. You’ve been imprisoned here for far too long. I came this time, naturally, to rescue you...” Ye Yun said.

With a flip of his hand, a green Bead appeared in his palm. A stream of green light swept out, transforming into several Black Giant Dragons.

”Greetings, Lord Ancestor Dragon!” The Black Dragon Kings, upon seeing Ye Yun, immediately morphed into human forms and knelt at Ye Yun’s feet.

”Esteemed Black Dragon Kings, so none of you actually perished?” the Dark Divine Dragon exclaimed in astonishment.

”Indeed!” the First Black Dragon King replied in a deep voice. ”It is all thanks to Lord Ancestor Dragon rescuing us from the Ancient Star Tomb...”

”Alright, you all return for now. We can reminisce later. I have some questions for this Little Dragon...” Ye Yun instructed.

”As you command!” the Black Dragon Kings quickly agreed.

The green Bead in Ye Yun’s palm once again released a stream of green light, drawing the Black Dragon Kings back inside it.

”This is truly wonderful...!” Seeing these Black Dragon Kings, the Dark Divine Dragon became incredibly excited. He stood in place, gesturing animatedly, looking somewhat comical.

”Let me ask you, this ancient painting... who exactly painted it?” Ye Yun raised his hand, and the ancient painting from within the thatched hut flew out.

”Ah, this ancient painting...” The Dark Divine Dragon hesitated for a moment, then quickly said, ”It was painted by a beautiful young girl.”

A beautiful young girl? Ye Yun was momentarily stunned; several beautiful figures immediately surfaced in his mind. Who on earth could enter the Sumeru Dark Realm?

”Lord Ancestor Dragon, the young girl looks like this...” the Dark Divine Dragon said with a smile, then used his Mana to conjure an illusory, beautiful figure in the air.

Ye Yun glanced at it, his face instantly filled with astonishment.

This beautiful figure... it was actually Yun Xiao!

Ye Yun had initially thought it might be the mysterious Nangong Jade, but unexpectedly, it was Yun Xiao.

Could it be that Yun Xiao visited this place before heading to the Divine Land?

”When did she enter this Miniature World within the Sumeru Dark Realm?” Ye Yun asked.

”Around sixty-thousand-odd years ago, I believe...” the Dark Divine Dragon said thoughtfully, choosing his words with care.

”Are you certain it wasn’t seventy-thousand years ago?” Ye Yun pressed, raising an eyebrow.

”Lord Ancestor Dragon, I am quite certain I remember correctly. That young girl should have entered this world approximately sixty-eight thousand years ago...” the Dark Divine Dragon stated with a solemn expression.

Ye Yun nodded, his expression growing grave. ”Hmm.”

The Dark Divine Dragon was unlikely to be lying. And being at the Half-step God King Realm, free from illness or misfortune, it wouldn’t suffer from mental confusion or misremember dates. Yun Xiao clearly left the Cangnan Continent seventy-thousand years ago, entered the Divine Land, and was then accepted into the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace. How could she possibly have returned to the Cangnan Continent sixty-eight thousand years ago? Ye Yun muttered to himself, his brow furrowed.

Yun Xiao’s strange reappearance at that time was indeed difficult to believe.

Why would she have returned? How did she know there was a fragment of the Sumeru Dark Realm here?

He pondered silently for a moment. Then, Ye Yun asked again, ”When you saw her back then, what was her cultivation base?”

”Her cultivation base wasn’t very high, only the sixth level of the Eternal Realm,” the Dark Divine Dragon answered honestly.

”The sixth level of the Eternal Realm? How is that possible?” Ye Yun’s expression changed drastically, his eyes suddenly turning cold and sharp.

Seventy-thousand years ago, Yun Xiao had already broken through to the True God Realm; that was how she managed to traverse the Ancient Road to Heaven. So how, sixty-eight thousand years ago, could Yun Xiao’s cultivation base have regressed to the sixth level of the Eternal Realm? This made no sense at all...
