The crack remained suspended in the void, as if the gate of the dragon’s lair had been thrown wide open, unleashing the mysterious domain that had been sealed for countless millennia!
The dragon’s shadow, which had struck the void, vanished.
The crystal on the ground let out a “pop” sound and shattered into pieces as well!
The demon of the night laughed heartily, “At last, I see the Dragon’s Nest again!”
Li Hun laughed maniacally as well and said, “I don’t believe it—I surely won’t leave this place empty-handed this time!”
The Demon Lords leaped into the void rifts, each accompanied by the humans they had brought along!
The moment Lu Yu entered the crack, he was already stunned by the sight before him!
The spot where he stood was a small clearing of less than one hundred square meters nestled between mountains. Before him rose a mountain peak nearly a thousand zhang high. And coiled on the mountain was a colossal dragon stretching ten thousand zhang in length.
This dragon’s scales were pitch black, its eyes tightly closed, and it had lost all signs of life!
This is a dragon corpse, emitting not even a trace of breath. It seems as if it has been dead for millions of years, petrified and coiled motionless atop the mountain peak.
At this moment, the auras of all the Demon Lords began to recede. Even Xie Ming, the most domineering among them, dared not be careless. He suppressed his aura to an absolute minimum, so faint that it was weaker than that of a mere Level 1 Star Soul warrior.
When the group saw the dragon for the first time, they couldn’t help but be greatly astonished and exclaimed, “This… this is the dragon!”
When the crowd saw the first dragon corpse, their gazes turned toward the distance and all around them.
This time, everyone was completely stunned!
Above their heads was a sky composed of brilliant stars, and beneath their feet lay a barren land.
Around were peaks closely connected one after another, each at least a thousand zhang in height.
Perched atop every mountain peak was a colossal dragon!
Each dragon has scales of different colors, but all are ten thousand feet long.
How many dragons there are now is beyond counting.
Because before their eyes was a dragon, and at the end of their gaze, still a dragon.
Lofty mountains stretch into a vast and majestic range, their ends lost from sight. Similarly, the dragon corpses are also endless; you can’t count how many colossal dragons are coiled atop the mountain peaks!
This vast land stretches for countless thousands of miles, covered not only by mountains but also by the remains of dragons perched atop the peaks!
Such a scene is too breathtaking!
No one, except the Demon Lord, had ever imagined that such a place could exist in this world!
Xie Ming interrupted the group’s astonishment, his voice cold as he said, “From this moment on, remember this: although you carry the Dragon’s Breath, conflicts among you here won’t disturb the Dragon’s Corpse. However, don’t become too arrogant. If you do awaken the Dragon’s Corpse, even we won’t be able to protect you.”
Li Hun’s expression turned serious as he said, “Don’t underestimate these dragon corpses! Even a dead dragon that’s barely clinging to its last breath can, once revived, possess combat power not inferior to that of a Demon Lord within a short period of time.”
Gao Hong looked on, seeing at least a thousand colossal dragons coiled there. He couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air and said, “Doesn’t that mean there are a thousand dragon corpses here at the level of Demon Lords, any of which could revive at any moment?”
“The Sea of Blood said, ‘That’s right. As long as one is disturbed, all the dragons will awaken. At that point, each dragon will unleash a breath of dragonfire upon you, reducing you to nothing but ashes!'”
Lu Yu glanced around, his voice cold as he said, “If this is truly the Dragon’s Nest, then everyone should make things clear. What exactly are we supposed to do here?”
At this moment, Xuehai seemed to be in a much better mood and explained, “This is merely the first zone of the Dragon’s Nest—the weakest area where the least powerful dragons reside. Dragons are a race that greatly enjoys collecting treasures, gathering the most precious items from various clans. The Dragon’s Nest is where dragons congregate, and each zone contains treasures collected by the dragons within that particular area. Every zone has its own set of rules. Your task is simply to pick up the items we specify.”
At this moment, the voice of the slaughter interface spoke again: “Moreover, the dragon race has a very strict hierarchy. If you don’t meet the requirements, don’t even think about advancing to the next area. To enter the next region, some require strength, while others depend on your compatibility with the dragon race’s aura.”
Lu Tianming laughed arrogantly, “Sea of Blood Demon Lord, better show us the way. Where exactly is the treasure located in this first area?”
As he spoke, Lu Tianming sneered and looked at Lu Yu, showing great disdain for such words. He had already heard the detailed account from the Blood Sea Demon Lord long ago.
A person brought by Xie Ming said, “We came here to search for treasures. We will follow the instructions of you, the lords of demons, for everything.”
The Lord of Demons nodded, satisfied with the answer.
Gao Hong and others expressed their agreement, while only Lu Yu and the mysterious figure shrouded in the black robe showed no reaction at all.
One wave of the soul, Dao said, “Go!”
With the Demon Lord leading the way.
Even in the Dragon’s Nest, the Lord of Demons dared not be careless.
Among the mountains, there are winding paths not meant for people to walk!
This path is the gorge between the peaks, with strange and jagged rocks on both sides, and stone cliffs of a thousand different forms and postures!
On both sides of the mountain peaks, the massive heads of dead dragons hung low. Though their eyes were closed, they gave the group a constant sense of being watched.
Even so, people felt that the giant dragon above them was not dead, but merely sleeping with its eyes closed.
Liu Xing suddenly pointed at a giant azure dragon hovering above his head, his voice trembling as he stammered, “This… this dragon’s neck is still moving! It’s alive, actually still alive!”
In Chinese mythology, legends about dragons have never been absent.
The dragon is synonymous with nobility, mystery, power, and majesty!
It is also the totem in the hearts of the Chinese people!
The dead dragon had already shaken them.
And now, the giant dragon before them was actually still moving.
Lu Yu couldn’t help but lift his head, gazing toward the azure giant dragon.
The dragon’s neck rose and fell slightly, as if breathing. However, the movement was barely noticeable, almost imperceptible.
The Soul of Separation whispered in a low voice, “Hurry up and leave! This dragon must have died less than ten thousand years ago, and it’s still very sensitive to the outside world.”
The group walked a bit faster, passing through one mountain peak after another.
Moving through the canyons, no matter how fast, there’s not much room for speed.
On the thirty-seventh day, the group crossed more than ten mountain peaks. Through the gaps between the canyons and the bright light from the sky, they could see colorful beams of light shooting up ahead, gathering in the air to form countless radiant ribbons!
A shadowy figure whispered in Lu Yu’s ear, “We’re almost there! Once we pass through this canyon, we should reach the treasure site.”
It took the group an entire day to traverse this canyon alone.
A vast flat area, as large as ten football fields combined, appeared before the group.
This flat land is not empty.
When Lu Yu and others walked in, they were immediately awestruck by the scene before them!
The colorful ribbons seen gathering in the distant sky were actually the treasures piled up like mountains here!
At the center of the flat ground were piled countless Star Spirit Beads, Star Soldiers, and even various types of ores emitting different glows, along with other items they did not recognize.
Gold jewelry, golden armor, golden sword…
Various objects are emitting different glows!
Colorful streams of light shimmered, various hues blending together, converging into ribbons of color that flowed through the air.
Of course, at the center of all these treasures was a giant dragon, submerged beneath the wealth.
This is a giant dragon with steel-colored scales. It lay coiled there like a snake, its body larger than the colossal dragon perched atop the mountain peaks. The dragon’s coiled height alone reached up to a thousand zhang, towering like a mountain.
The dragon’s head was not bowed down, but instead raised up, its eyes opened wide, and it looked down upon the earth!
This isn’t just a treasure trove—it’s an entire treasure mountain.
The Demon Lord might have seen it, yet remained unmoved.
However, for humans, this is too amazing.
The number of star spirits here definitely exceeds millions, with countless seventh- and eighth-grade star spirits.
It is crucial for ordinary people to enhance their star souls and even improve their basic attributes.
It’s already extremely difficult for an ordinary person to hunt a Level 7 monster. Using a Star Spirit Pearl of corresponding level to enhance one’s attributes is simply impossible, no matter how wealthy one might be.
Therefore, most of the current warriors complete their cultivation through combat and daily meditation, using the absorption of Star Spirit Beads as an auxiliary method.
If they possessed the Star Spirit Bead here, they could reach the peak of level eight within a day.
Even thousands upon thousands of Spirit Stones were present, and based on the glow emitted by these stones, they were at least of the seventh grade.
A single piece is already a sky-high price in the outside world, yet here there are tens of thousands of them.
Gao Hong and the others immediately swallowed hard, their eyes fixed greedily on the treasure and star soldiers beside the giant dragon, exclaiming, “This is the treasure trove!”
Yang Lin stared at a star weapon, his voice trembling: “That’s a level-seven star weapon!”
Liu Xing was also trembling as he said, “That one, that one I’ve seen before. It’s an eighth-grade Demon Hunter Sword, with an eighth-grade area attack skill!”
Lu Yu was deeply moved.
Whoever possesses this treasure mountain would be the absolute number one in all of China, second only to the Demon Lord!
The魔主, Li Hun, and others had already anticipated the crowd’s reaction and sternly warned, “Remember, everything you see here must not be touched carelessly. Except for the items we specify, you must not take anything extra. If you accidentally awaken this guardian dragon, even we will be in trouble!”
Xie Ming said seriously, “Each Demon Lord can probably only guarantee three attacks from you, and each time we must help you conceal your aura. Therefore, every strike heavily consumes our strength, so each attack must be carried out with great caution and care!”
Sha Lu nodded and said, “If there’s even one person in this area who doesn’t take action, then the Demon Lord who brought you here wouldn’t need to waste energy and strength, which could instead be saved for entering the next area.”
“Alright, there’s no use talking to them about this,” Lu Yu said in a deep voice. “Just inform them to follow orders. Now, within this area, is there anything any of you have your eyes on?”
Several魔lords gathered together in front of the treasure mountain.
There was simply too much piled up here; even with the Demon Lord’s knowledge, selecting something useful from it all would require careful scrutiny.
It took almost two days, and in the end, all the Demon Lords could do was shake their heads in resignation.
There is too much treasure in front of this mountain; nothing on the surface is of great value.
However, they couldn’t reach out to examine each item one by one and didn’t notice anything they needed.
The Sea of Blood said, “Since there’s nothing in this area, let’s move to the next one!”
As he spoke, Xue Hai pointed at Lu Yu and the others, saying, “Come here. Before this giant dragon, don’t move around recklessly. Just circulate your dragon clan’s power within your bodies.”
Lu Yu and the others all walked up to the giant steel dragon.
As everyone silently channeled the dragon clan’s power within their bodies, the steel giant dragon’s lifeless gray eyes suddenly gleamed with vitality. Two beams of light swept across Lu Yu and the others’ bodies!
In the minds of Lu Yu and the others, a majestic and ancient voice proclaimed, “Honored descendants of the dragon clan, welcome back to the Dragon’s Nest!”
