White Dragon Inheritance and the Blood Evil Clan

Remains Continent, northwest.

At a mountaintop in the Demon Abyss Mountain Range.

Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air. Feeling his spiritual energy restored to its peak, he stretched comfortably and sighed. "My Celestial Body has been formed, and I've obtained both the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl and the Great Sumeru Demon Pillar. It's time to head back."

"But before that, I need to have a good chat with this White Dragon Sovereign."

As he spoke, a glint flashed through Lu Chen's eyes. A white spiritual pearl appeared in his hand. Smooth and lustrous, it emitted a faint glow. A white dragon coiled and swam within it, and a low dragon's roar could vaguely be heard.

This was the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl Lu Chen had obtained from the White Dragon Spiritual Treasury. It contained a remnant consciousness of the White Dragon Sovereign, as well as the true White Dragon inheritance.

As for the pearl he had acquired in the simulation, when Lu Chen obtained this other White Dragon Spiritual Pearl, it had strangely fused with the one before him.

Lu Chen stared at the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl in his hand, surprise flickering in his eyes. He could sense that the fused pearl contained even more immense spiritual energy.

He could draw upon some of that spiritual energy, but whenever he tried to probe into the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl, he was rebounded. The power within was resisting his entry.

Clearly, a special seal had been placed inside the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl. Not just anyone could obtain the inheritance within.

"Interesting. Perhaps I couldn't do anything to you before, but now..."

Lu Chen smiled faintly as crimson light burst from his body. Amid the surging radiance behind him, an incomparably massive crimson figure silently emerged, standing quietly between heaven and earth.

A dazzling brilliance bloomed at the figure's brow, radiating endless light. Torrents of crimson flames swept out from its body, causing the spiritual energy throughout heaven and earth to boil and burn.

It was the Heavenly Flame Celestial Body!

Lu Chen placed the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl on the ground, then lightly tapped off with his toes and soared into the sky. The Celestial Body slowly rose alongside him.

Then, he formed seals with both hands. The crimson flames surrounding the Heavenly Flame Celestial Body crazily converged, gathering within its palm.

An extremely scorching and violent fluctuation spread forth.

"Let me see how many strikes this broken pearl can withstand..."

A cold gleam shot from Lu Chen's eyes. His hand seals abruptly changed as he roared inwardly, "Heavenly Flame Celestial Body, Heavenly Flame Burning Sea Palm!"

Boom!

Light erupted from the Heavenly Flame Celestial Body as a dark crimson flaming palm slammed down. Heavenly fire spread, the void trembled, and a flaming palm print that nearly covered half the sky shot down violently.

Buzz! Buzz!

In an instant, sensing danger, the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl trembled slightly and immediately burst forth with dazzling white light. The light gathered into a white barrier before the pearl, blocking the attack.

Bang!

As the Celestial Body's palm fell, the earth below instantly collapsed. The entire mountain was flattened, swathes of forest turned to ash, and the force was tyrannical to the extreme.

Yet the white barrier merely rippled, blocking the full force of that palm strike.

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and thought, As expected of an inheritance left behind by a Rank Eight Sovereign. Even after several hundred years, it still possesses such power.

"Since one palm isn't enough, then I'll use a few more!"

Lu Chen took a deep breath. Crimson flames surged from around the Heavenly Flame Celestial Body, condensing into massive flaming palm prints that shot toward the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless flaming palm prints tore through the air and smashed fiercely into the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl. Endless crimson flames battered the pearl.

The White Dragon Spiritual Pearl's glow dimmed slightly, but terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations surged out, dispersing wave after wave of crimson flames.

A full quarter of an hour passed.

Under the Celestial Body's relentless bombardment, the glow on the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl grew increasingly dim.

As its glow faded, intricate dragon patterns began to emerge across the pearl's surface, gleaming with a faint luster.

"So this is the so-called sealing divine ability?"

Lu Chen raised a brow and recalled the Celestial Body into his body. Purple flames rose from his hand as he tossed them toward the pearl.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Very soon, having lost most of its power, the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl was unable to resist at all. Under the burning of the Undying Fire, the dragon patterns on its surface completely dispersed in just dozens of breaths.

A pure and vast spiritual energy fluctuation erupted from within.

The seal on the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl had finally been removed.

Seeing that the seal had been broken, Lu Chen waved his hand. The White Dragon Spiritual Pearl instantly turned into a streak of white light and flew into his palm.

Lu Chen looked closely. The white dragon that had been coiled within the pearl was now gone, leaving only countless wisps of white mist drifting about inside, giving it an exceedingly mystical appearance.

"I should find somewhere safe first. That commotion was too great. Who knows what it might attract."

Lu Chen put away the pearl and frowned at the scorched land around him, which he had blasted into a flat expanse. He muttered to himself.

Then, with a beat of the wings on his back, he used the Space Divine Ability and swiftly left the area.

A short while later, A low hill stood inconspicuously among this cluster of bare peaks. Shielded by the towering mountains around it, it was rarely noticed.

Lu Chen landed atop the hill and cautiously surveyed his surroundings. Only then did he sit down cross-legged in relief. With a clench of his hand, the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl appeared in his palm once more.

Only now did he have the time to properly examine the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl after its seal had been broken.

Lu Chen looked at the Spiritual Pearl in his hand. Purple spiritual energy rose from his palm and slowly seeped into it. In an instant, the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl erupted with dazzling light, enveloping him within it.

Lu Chen felt his vision blur. When he opened his eyes again, he discovered that he had entered a different world...

Before him lay a vast expanse of white.

It was like a white ocean with no end in sight. Mist churned through it, giving him the sensation of being lost in a drunken dream.

"Did it open up a small space inside the Spiritual Pearl?"

Lu Chen looked thoughtfully at the endless white world before him.

Having experienced the White Dragon Spiritual Treasury, he was no stranger to such circumstances and immediately guessed his current situation.

Lu Chen swept his gaze around. When nothing happened for a long while, spiritual energy surged around him. With a flick of his sleeve, countless wisps of white mist scattered away.

Buzz! Buzz!

The instant the white mist rapidly dispersed, changes finally occurred in this blank white world. Mountains, rivers, and streams began to emerge, and faintly, he could see countless crowds laughing and rejoicing.

"An illusion?"

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow as he looked at the scene before him, speaking in puzzlement.

Just as he was wondering, crimson suddenly emerged at the edge of that joyous world. Immediately afterward, a blood-red tide swept forth with endless chilling malice. Wherever it passed, countless living beings were devoured; even the various energies between heaven and earth were not spared...

Before that blood-red tide, countless figures seemed to rise into the sky. They used all their strength to stop it, but their power was far too insignificant before such a blood-red tide.

Countless despairing screams rang out as the entire world plunged into a terrifying apocalypse.

It was a world-ending calamity.

A world once teeming with life was destroyed just like that.

Lu Chen watched the scene coldly, icy light blooming in his eyes as he said in a frigid voice, "The Extraterritorial Evil Clan..."

"That's right... They are one of the branches of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan—the Blood Evil Clan..."

At that moment, a faint voice suddenly echoed through the space.

Lu Chen turned around and saw white mist gathering within the blank world. Deep dragon roars resounded as a white figure gradually condensed into existence.

The figure had snow-white hair, yet his skin was as youthful as a teenager's. His pair of white pupils looked especially strange.

It was none other than the White Dragon Sovereign!
