Azure Dragon Demon Beast

The first seven floors were practically empty, not even traces of dust remained. It wasn't until Ye Wen reached the eighth floor and slipped inside that he found the scene identical: a large door inscribed with "Eighth Floor of the Demon Suppressing Tower!"

The moment Ye Wen stepped inside this time, he was so startled that he hastily retreated and slammed the door shut.

"A snake, a snake! Such a huge snake! It scared me to death!"

Ye Wen was petrified. He had been afraid of snakes since he was a child, and what he saw today was infinitely larger than any snake he had encountered since arriving on this continent.

Although Ye Wen only caught a fleeting glimpse after opening the door this time, he realized that the space on this floor was much larger than the previous ones. Due to the line of sight, he couldn't see the edges.

Unlike the upper floors, which had several small rooms, this floor seemed to have only one. Upon entering, he saw a giant snake coiled right in the center not far away.

Ye Wen couldn't tell exactly how long the snake was, but he saw that it was as thick as a heavy truck, like a train lying across the middle of the room.

Ye Wen didn't know if the giant snake was alive or dead. His heart was still pounding violently from the sheer visual impact! After forcing himself to calm down, Ye Wen encouraged himself again.

"Don't worry, don't be afraid. Just pretend it's a high-speed train painted with a giant snake. It's just an inanimate object."

Ye Wen's initial shock turned into excitement. Such a massive Demon Beast must contain an immense amount of energy in its demon core or Devil Core! The thought alone filled him with fighting spirit.

Ye Wen cautiously pushed open the eighth-floor door again. Seeing the giant snake once more, his heart still pounded fiercely. Following the snake's body, Ye Wen searched for its head.

Suddenly, he saw that the giant snake had legs. A giant snake with legs? When he finally saw its head, Ye Wen's speech became jumbled again.

"This, this isn't a snake, snake! It's a dragon! It's actually a legendary dragon!"

Looking at the majestic dragon head, Ye Wen found it remarkably similar to descriptions from ancient legends. It was truly astonishing. Each scale was about the size of a person, and under the illumination of the cold, glowing stones, the scales emitted a verdant light.

This was a great Azure Dragon. Was it the Azure Dragon from the legend, the one that stood with the White Tiger?

As Ye Wen gazed intently, a majestic voice entered his ears.

"Human? Who are you? Where is old ghost Xingyu?"

The voice, like a sudden clap of thunder, startled Ye Wen, and he quickly retreated to the door.

He then realized that the Azure Dragon, which had its eyes closed moments ago, had now opened them! Its massive eyes were like stars in the universe, dazzling and brilliant. They seemed to pierce through time and space, filled with endless majesty!

Even more surprising to Ye Wen was that the words the Azure Dragon spoke were in a language he had never heard before, yet as the sound entered his mind, it was directly translated into a meaning he understood.

Was this ability the Azure Dragon's, or was it the mysterious voice that had granted him language and memory?

"Are you a divine dragon? I was framed and thrown in here."

Ye Wen said, steeling himself. His eyes remained fixed on the Azure Dragon; if it moved, Ye Wen would immediately run out and close the door.

"You're not with old ghost Xingyu? Where is he? We agreed on three thousand years, and then I would be released. How dare he break his promise? Isn't he afraid of retaliation from my Dragon Race? Where are my kin from the Azure Dragon clan? Why aren't they here to save me? I came here voluntarily for the sake of the clan! Have they all forgotten my existence?"

The Azure Dragon suddenly became extremely agitated, its voice thundering through the air, making Ye Wen's ears ring. Ye Wen then realized that the space on this floor was exceptionally high, as the Azure Dragon had soared hundreds of meters into the sky.

How was this possible? The height from the first floor to here was at most one to two hundred meters. Why hadn't the Azure Dragon hit the ceiling after ascending hundreds of meters? Was this another dimension? After much thought, Ye Wen concluded that this was a small world.

After ascending to a certain height, a white-glowing chain suddenly appeared on the Azure Dragon's head, pulling it back and preventing it from ascending further.

Ye Wen noticed that the chain had appeared strangely, suddenly materializing above the dragon's head. The other end of the chain was attached to a large stone pillar around which the Azure Dragon had initially coiled.

Was this Azure Dragon chained up? What kind of chain was this, capable of restraining a giant dragon at least seventy to eighty zhang long?

After venting its frustration, the Azure Dragon was eventually pulled back to the stone pillar by the chain, and the white chain vanished once more.

"Kid, what's the situation outside now? Where has the City Lord of this city gone?"

The giant Azure Dragon's head looked at Ye Wen and slowly extended towards him. It stopped tens of meters away from Ye Wen because the white light reappeared, and the massive chain pulled on the Azure Dragon's head.
