"Azure Dragon and a woman? If that's the case, then who was that woman? I imagine she wasn't some unknown nobody!" Chen Yun asked.
But Old Ent's expression suddenly turned strange. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "I don't know. That woman was like a mystery. No one knew where she came from. Supposedly, even in ancient times, no one knew. All they knew was that after the Azure Dragon Heavenly Beast fell in love with her, they had a son. Yet he was born in human form, with talent that nearly defied the heavens. During battle, he could even transform into a half-human, half-dragon form, and his combat power was terrifying. Even the mighty gods of that era had no choice but to retreat three paces from him. This person called himself the Dragon Blood Progenitor. Back then, he shook the ancient world. He truly was an outstanding hero of his generation!" By the time Old Ent finished speaking, he could not help sighing.
"What happened after that? Why does it seem that hardly anyone on the continent knows about this now?" Chen Yun asked.
Old Ent slowly shook his head and said, "I don't know whether this should be called Heaven envying a great talent. Not long after Azure Dragon and that woman gave birth to the Dragon Blood Progenitor, they mysteriously disappeared. No one knew what had happened. The young Dragon Blood Progenitor then walked forward alone, step by step, in that era when powerful figures emerged one after another. Who knew how many living beings' white bones lay beneath his feet?"
"Eventually, the Dragon Blood Progenitor's rise attracted the attention of the Gods. Some wanted to subdue him, while others wanted to kill him in the cradle before he could fully mature. After all, Ni Ba's talent was simply too terrifying. His existence always made certain people uneasy, so they launched a hunt for him. But it had to be said that the Dragon Blood Progenitor was monstrously powerful. In such an environment, where murderous intent lurked everywhere, he miraculously survived time and time again. He even passed down and continued the Dragon Blood lineage. The strength of the Dragon Blood clan finally began to show.
"Under the Dragon Blood Progenitor's leadership, the Dragon Blood clan soon gained a firm foothold, and then began a fierce slaughter against the Gods. That era came to be known as the Twilight of the Gods. Countless gods fell beneath the feet of the Dragon Blood Warriors. It was the most dazzling age of the Dragon Blood Warriors. Even the most powerful lineage among the gods at the time, the Mad Blood War God lineage, paled beneath the Dragon Blood Warriors' radiance. Oh, right—Wright possessed the Berserk Bloodline. His bloodline awakened the day he dueled you!"
"Wright? The Berserk Bloodline?" Chen Yun said in shock.
"That's right! I never imagined that he possessed the precious Berserk Bloodline. Speaking of which, Berserk Warriors were also an exceptionally powerful and bizarre existence. When their emotions became extremely intense—anger being the most common example—they could activate their Berserk Bloodline, causing both their attack power and physical defense to increase severalfold. They were practically invincible. They had also shone brilliantly in ancient times. But later, they encountered the Dragon Blood Warriors. The Dragon Blood Warriors' transformations far surpassed those of Berserk Warriors in both attack power and physical defense. Furthermore, some exceptionally gifted Dragon Blood Warriors possessed terrifying innate divine abilities. And the Dragon Blood Progenitor was even more frightening. Legend had it that he once used an innate divine ability, instantly slaughtering more than ten gods who were surrounding him. It truly was terrifying!" At this point, Old Ent could not help smacking his lips, his old face flushed with excitement.
"Later, strange humans possessing the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, the ### Bloodline, and the Black Tortoise Bloodline also appeared. Their strength was astonishing. Since they all belonged to bloodlines of the Four Great Heavenly Beasts, these four clans came together, making the already powerful Dragon Blood clan even mightier. Yet everything changed in that instant. A group of people who no one knew the origins of suddenly appeared. Their individual combat power was extremely formidable, only slightly inferior to the Dragon Blood Warriors, but they could also form strange battle formations."
"And their numbers were enormous. Even more terrifying was that the number of high-level experts they possessed far exceeded that of the Dragon Blood Warriors and the other three clans combined. As soon as the mysterious enemies appeared, they attacked the Dragon Blood Warriors' side without a word. The battle continued for a very long time, until heaven and earth were plunged into chaos. Countless Four Clan Warriors fell, and countless heroes returned to dust. As for the final result, no one knew. All anyone knew was that the Four Clan Warriors never appeared again afterward—especially the Dragon Blood Warriors. Those mysterious enemies also vanished without a trace, giving people the feeling that they had never existed in this world at all." Old Ent spoke with a face full of melancholy.
As Chen Yun listened to Old Ent, a scene involuntarily flashed through his mind: battle cries filling the sky, while the blood of countless Dragon Blood Warriors stained the heavens red.
Facing the danger of their entire race going extinct, a massive Azure Dragon more than three hundred meters long was trapped beneath four enormous, pitch-black chains. It let out roar after roar of unwillingness and defiance. That voice, piercing through heaven and earth, truly conveyed the tragic grandeur of a hero in his twilight years—and a howl toward the heavens above!
The Heavenly Dao stretched vast and boundless. Where was the path forward for all living things?
