Chapter 12: Dream Reappears

It was still a land filled with Primordial aura everywhere. On the ground, massive protrusions crisscrossed like dragon bones forming spinal ridges. Looking up, clouds and mist swirled around towering peaks that pierced the sky.

Faintly visible, they occasionally reflected a cold white light, like sharp sword energies spanning heaven and earth. That aura, capable of shattering anything in the world, sent a chill down one's spine.

Although this wasn't Chen Yun's first time here, he was still deeply shaken by the sight.

However, this time, Chen Yun clearly felt something different. It was as if he could clearly sense the energy permeating heaven and earth. This wondrous feeling was something he couldn't experience the first time he came here.

Could all of this be because the immeasurably vast energy within my body has awakened? Chen Yun couldn't help but think.

"Roar!" A world-shattering dragon's roar echoed, causing Chen Yun's entire body to jolt. The sound was too familiar. Wasn't this the voice of the Azure Dragon from last time?

Following the sound, he looked and indeed, an Azure Dragon, about a hundred zhang long, was radiating light all over. It was bound by four black chains, emitting a faint black glow. Mysterious and profound characters flowed across the chains, giving off a soul-stirring aura. It felt as if a single glance would instantly pull one's soul out; it was truly terrifying.

The ends of the four chains connected to the sky above, in the four cardinal directions. Vaguely, one could see four massive dark figures, about a hundred meters tall, standing amidst the clouds. Immensely powerful energy continuously surged from these dark figures, spreading down the black chains towards the churning Azure Dragon below. Each energy impact caused the Azure Dragon to cry out in pain, scattering blood rain across the entire sky, like the heavens weeping.

The entire sky trembled, and spatial ripples spread outwards. A colossal tornado storm, centered on the Azure Dragon, rapidly expanded, striking the four giant dark figures in the sky.

"Hmph..." A muffled groan came from the sky above, followed by a downpour of chaotic liquid.

"Hmph! I didn't expect this fully-formed mongrel to be so powerful! If it weren't for the Heaven-Trapping Chains, a supreme treasure of my clan, trapping it, perhaps a few of us wouldn't have been able to handle it!" A deep, hoarse, and angry voice echoed from the sky.

"Indeed!... But alas..." another ancient and indifferent voice replied.

Chen Yun stared blankly at everything, his heart already filled with an intense sorrow. The Azure Dragon seemed to have an intimate connection with him, emitting waves of familiarity. What is going on? Chen Yun suppressed the sorrow in his heart and asked, confused.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!..." Suddenly, roars filled with unwillingness and defiance erupted, evoking a sense of tragic heroism.

Chen Yun's heart could no longer suppress his grief, as if he were about to lose something most precious.

As expected, a vast energy, surging as if capable of devouring the world, erupted from the Azure Dragon. The surrounding space couldn't withstand the immense pressure and shattered.

Instantly, spatial black holes formed, emitting strange and vast fluctuations from within. Even the four dark chains binding the Azure Dragon began to creak under the strain, making "crackling" sounds.

A low curse echoed from the sky, followed by four even more massive energy fluctuations descending.

"Heaven-Trapping Chains! Nine Heavens and Ten Earths! Seal!" Four cold and deep incantations rang out.

Instantly, the entire world froze, including the Azure Dragon. The black holes also slowly disappeared. The entire realm echoed with these terrifying, demonic incantations.

Chen Yun's soul was also frozen at that moment. A chill like that of the deepest abyss caused his consciousness to momentarily become chaotic.

"En?" A questioning voice came from the sky.

Immediately, a cold gaze shot towards him. Chen Yun jolted, his consciousness clearing from the chaos. But then, he felt a tremor, his soul shaking uncontrollably, like a flickering flame in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.

Just as Chen Yun was about to collapse, a high-pitched dragon's roar, filled with resolve, echoed. The heavens and earth shook violently, and the cold gaze was forced to shift away.

In a daze, Chen Yun seemed to hear a massive explosion, and was then sucked into a spatial vortex.

Inside the vortex was a spatial tunnel. The walls of the tunnel were silver, flickering with fragmented images. In a trance, Chen Yun seemed to see a sky full of blood rain and the ground covered in mangled corpses.

A stunningly beautiful Vermilion Bird had its wings brutally torn off.

A creature like an ancient giant mountain was smashed in half.

A hundred-zhang black giant turtle had its shell smashed open.

Everywhere, there were shouts of killing... everywhere there was blood, both in the sky and on the ground. The tragic scene filled the dazed Chen Yun with a sense of desolation.

Fragmented images flashed rapidly before Chen Yun's eyes. He no longer knew what they depicted. At this moment, his soul severely injured, he had fallen into complete chaos, losing consciousness.

At the end of the tunnel was a massive vortex, emitting a powerful suction force. Chen Yun's soul turned into a streak of light and disappeared within...

The spatial tunnel remained silent, as if it had existed since ancient times. Silver light transformed into mysterious and profound runes that twisted upon its surface. The massive vortex spun rapidly and silently, causing wrinkles to appear in the surrounding space. Through these wrinkles, one could vaguely see beings from countless worlds screaming, desperately struggling against the mysterious trajectory of heaven and earth.
