Great Darkness Realm
Deep underground, thousands of feet below.
A vast, boundless Light Barrier descended, revealing an indescribably powerful ocean of Demonic Qi within. Countless Demonic Qi creatures, including dragons, tigers, leopards, snakes, pythons, and serpents, roared continuously within this dark sea.
Above the ocean, towering Dark Towers stand suspended in the air, bound together by thick, Black Chains Dark Towers eventually merge into a Darkness Throne.
A slender figure clad in black armor sat on the throne with her eyes closed. Her long black hair cascaded down to her pert buttocks. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her delicate body seemed frail, yet she possessed an unparalleled domineering aura that could suppress all realms.
This scene seemed to be suppressing something, much like the Flame God Ancient Array set up by the Master of Flames in the Demon Suppressing Prison beneath the Xuanling Mysterious Spirit Island the Chaotic Demon Sea.
However, the suppression seemed to have some flaws. A large amount of Demonic Qi broke through the dense blockade of Dark Towers and leaped towards the dark Light Barrier above, and even to the surface above—the Ancestral Land of the Dragon Clan.
"Bah!"
With a clear phoenix cry, an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, enormous in size and jet black in color, passed through the dark Light Barrier without any hindrance and plunged headlong into the ocean of countless demonic creatures, like a blazing sun, its momentum unstoppable.
These terrifying demons, capable of even driving away powerful beings like Yuan Qian in the Samsara Stage Great Power, were reduced to ashes and collapsed under the wings of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix. They retreated frantically as if they had encountered a natural enemy, roaring fearfully at it from afar.
And so, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, thousands of feet long, swept through the sea of demons with unstoppable force, arriving at the foot of the Darkness Throne, where it quietly watched the mysterious figure seated upon it.
"Devouring Ancestral Symbol?"
A soft exclamation rang out, as if keenly sensing something. The slender figure's eyelids twitched slightly, and those beautiful, pure black eyes, exuding endless depth, quietly opened.
"No, you did not Devouring Ancestral Symbol."
The slender figure clad in black armor twitched her nostrils slightly, as if she had caught a whiff of something.
"Hehe, you can't hide it from your senior after all. Lin Dong, the current wielder of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, greets the Master of Darkness."
A human-like smile flickered in the crystal-clear eyes of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, and a vast will descended from a distant land.
"The current controller of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol... Since Devouring left, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol must have been passed down for many generations, right? Hmm, I seem to faintly smell the aura of some old friends on you..."
"Alright, tell me, what brings you to the Demon Suppressing Prison?"
A hint of nostalgia flashed across the Master of Darkness's eyes as he spoke softly.
"The great formation sealing the Demon Suppressing Prison has a flaw, and Demonic Qi has begun to invade the Ancestral Land of the Dragon Clan in the upper level. Lin Dong has been entrusted by the Dragon Clan to awaken the Master of Darkness. We request the Master of Darkness to take action and sweep away the demons."
The Ancient Heavenly Phoenix lowered its proud head and spoke in human language.
That's all~
The Master of Darkness rose from his throne and said casually, "The Great Darkness Realm!"
"Buzz!"
Endless Darkness swept across the heavens and the earth, expanding rapidly at an extremely fast pace. Compared to the Alien Demonic Qi, the darkness represented by the Dark Sky Curtain was purer and more profound, and was a great origin from the beginning of the world.
Wherever darkness swept through, the countless demons vanished without resistance amidst the mournful howls, leaving not a trace of Demonic Qi behind. The sea of demons that blotted out the sky disappeared rapidly, and the "sky" became bright once more.
Soon, within the Demon Suppressing Prison, the countless demonic creatures and Demonic Qi that had broken through the dense network of Dark Towers were instantly purified, like snow meeting clear skies, and the space returned to calm.
"When I get back, I will tell those old guys in the Dragon Clan that I have almost purified the million Yi Mo in the Demon Suppressing Prison. There are still about ten Demon Kings and many Demon General left. It will be a complete success in two or three years, or at most four or five years."
"This place will also be closed down, so they won't have to worry about it all the time."
The Master of Darkness stretched lazily, instantly revealing the full curves hidden beneath his armor, captivating all who beheld them.
"Yes, Lin Dong understands!"
The Ancient Heavenly Phoenix answered in this way.
"If there's nothing else, then go back. I'm going to continue sleeping."
With a casual wave of her Master of Darkness hand, before the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix could even refuse, a gentle yet irresistible force teleported the massive creature out of the Demon Suppressing Prison.
As the slender figure once again closed her eyes and sat upright on the Darkness Throne, the somewhat dim and profound Ancient Space fell into a deathly silence once more.
In front of the ancient palace, on the jade plaza.
"Call out!"
A strange and mysterious Ghostly glow suddenly shot out from the ground and entered the body of the figure sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, as fast as lightning.
"Young friend Lin Dong, thank you very much. You have been a great help to my Dragon Clan."
Feeling the rapidly dissipating and dissolving Alien Demonic Qi within the Dragon Domain, Yuan Qian, with a joyful expression, grabbed Lin Dong's hands and squeezed them tightly.
Behind Yuan Qian, the ancient figures with imposing auras, all elders of high status within the Dragon Clan, gazed at Lin Dong with gentle expressions.
Young friend Lin Dong's efficiency is truly remarkable!
"If Patriarch Yuan Qian truly wishes to thank me, then please grant me one of the three spots available for entering the Ancient Dragon Transformation Pool this year."
Lin Dong said with a serious expression.
"Haha, even if you didn't say it, I would still offer it. Besides, Lord Qing Zhi sent a letter back to the clan a long time ago to mention this matter, asking the clan to set aside a spot for his Direct Disciple."
"Even if I don't give you face, I still have to give face to the Azure Dragon King of my clan. Don't worry, I've been saving that spot for you. Two days from now is the day the Ancient Dragon Transformation Pool will open. At that time, you can enter the pool with two other members of my clan."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qian burst into laughter and patted Lin Dong's shoulder forcefully.
"Then thank you very much, Patriarch," Lin Dong said with a smile.
"Duan Tao, take young friend Lin Dong down to rest."
The dark pool, thousands of feet long, was extremely viscous, as still as stagnant water. Its surface shimmered like black dragon scales, and terrifying energy fluctuations rippled around it.
"The Ancient Dragon Transformation Pool has been opened! Enter the pool immediately!"
With a low shout from a Patriarch, Lin Dong and two young Dragon Clan warriors simultaneously vanished into the dark pool.
"Buzz! Boom!"
As soon as Lin Dong entered the pool, the calm water instantly went berserk, rushing towards him with terrifying, violent energy that seeped into his body through his skin pores, crushing his original bones inch by inch and turning him into a blood-soaked figure.
When powerful Dragon Clan enter the pool, they strengthen and upgrade their existing dragon bones.
Lin Dong is a powerful Human Race, and his bones are Human Race bones. He needs to destroy his original bones and then rebuild a new set of dragon bones, a process that is extremely painful.
