The Throne Stands Alone, No Co-Ruler Allowed
The moment the words fell!
"Sizzle!"
His clothes suddenly ripped apart, not because of muscle swelling, but because the eerie feather he had been hiding beneath his skin suddenly burst forth with a blinding light!
At the center of the feather, an eye filled with a terrifying aura suddenly opened!
"Buzz!"
An indescribable pressure, like a tangible tsunami, erupted from Cheng Yu's center!
The dozen or so Dragon Guard who had initially rushed forward froze, their sharp gazes turning into boundless fear and bewilderment. Then—
"Puff puff puff puff..."
His entire body exploded one after another, as if a watermelon had been struck by an invisible giant hammer.
With just a flicker of light emanating from his eyes, a large area was cleared out!
Immediately afterwards, the eye began to detach from Cheng Yu's body, rapidly outlining and completing itself in mid-air.
Endless Demon Qi converged, and the Great Dao roared.
A blurry figure, towering into the sky, slowly materialized and emerged.
With a sparrow's head and a human body, draped in a robe of myriad feathers, his eyes held the rotation of the sun and moon, and his body was surrounded by flames that could burn the heavens and the imperial aura that ruled over all demons!
Although his breathing was slightly unstable, it was clearly due to his forced arrival over a great distance.
But that genuine Quasi-Emperor's aura crushed everything in its path like a physical entity, causing even the Heaven and Earth Law to groan in despair!
"Emperor's Might?! He's Quasi-Emperor of the Demon Race!"
"Enemy attack!!!"
This force alarmed all parts of the Sacred Mountain and even the entire True Dragon Clan Encampment.
"You hairy beast! How dare you trespass on the Holy Land of my Dragon Clan!!"
"A blood feud spanning millennia will be settled today! Slay this scoundrel!!"
With a roar like thunder, three vast streams of light shot into the sky from the direction of the Ancient Dragon Hall, heading straight for this place!
Old grudges and new hatreds exploded in an instant!
A cold glint flashed in the Demon Ancestor's eyes, and he said nothing more.
The Seven-Colored Peacock Divine Feather behind him suddenly unfurled, and a divine Divine Light swept down fiercely in the direction of the attack!
A great war is about to break out!
In the distance, in the shadows at the edge of the battlefield.
Xuanye stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering in the strong wind caused by the pressure of Quasi-Emperor.
He gazed at the great battle he had instigated, a smile of immense pleasure spreading across his face.
"Behind this Long Yu is actually a Quasi -Quasi-Emperor Demon Ancestor?"
"Though unexpected..." he muttered to himself, a calculating glint in his eyes, "But this is even better! It's like heaven is helping me!"
"Fight! Fight until the sky darkens and the sun and moon lose their light!"
"Let's draw everyone's attention and all their power to that place."
Xuanye spoke, his gaze was already firmly fixed on the Sacred Mountain in the distance.
There, stimulated by the aura of the Demon Ancestor and the intervention of the Ancestral Elder, the previously concealed Protective Grand Array was fully activated.
Streaks of Dragon Form light shot into the sky, further clarifying its central position and completely confirming Long Yin's previous premonition.
"The dragon egg is right there."
Xuanye's lips curled into a cold smile. "Now, it's my turn to step in."
After saying that, a dark light flashed around him, and he and his two Alien Race subordinates headed towards the empty Sacred Mountain.
Inside the Sacred Mountain, in the Ancestral Dragon Forbidden Palace.
The roars, explosions, and furious shouts outside, along with the overwhelming pressure of Quasi-Emperor that swept across the heavens and earth, could be clearly heard even through layers of restrictions.
The ground of the Forbidden Palace trembled slightly.
A Dragon Guard rushed into the Forbidden Palace and urgently reported:
"Lord Fate Warden, outside..."
"Shh!"
Before Dragon Guard could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold voice from the Forbidden Palace.
Long Yue's gaze shifted away from the enormous dragon egg, which had lost all its luster, with a complex expression.
The ancient Dragon Might emanating from within the eggshell fluctuates in strength, indicating that it is undergoing a crucial transformation and must not be disturbed.
Long Yue turned around, led the Dragon Guard out of the inner chamber of the Forbidden Palace, and arrived at the outermost corridor pillar before speaking softly:
"Speak, what is it?"
The Dragon Guard swiftly summoned the Quasi-Emperor the Demon Race, explaining the situation of the external war.
"Quasi-Emperor?" Upon hearing this, Long Yue frowned, her beautiful face turning frosty.
"How did someone at this level manage to reach the Core Region of the territory?"
She muttered to herself, countless thoughts flashing through her mind, but now was clearly not the time to investigate.
"Forget it, there's no point in investigating this now."
"Organize defenses; we must not allow them to get close to the Forbidden Palace..."
Before she could finish speaking, Long Yue's heart clenched suddenly without warning.
She suddenly turned around, her gaze piercing straight into the depths of the Forbidden Palace.
The heartbeat inside the dragon egg grew stronger and louder.
Like a king reigning over the world, his absolute power dominated her chest, forcing her heartbeat to become an echo of this ancient rhythm.
This irresistible sense of control is unmistakable.
Long Yue pressed her hand to her heart and declared in a trembling voice:
"Ancient Dragon... is about to awaken."
Ancient Dragon?
Isn't it the Ancestral Dragon?
The Dragon Guard looked puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions and quickly withdrew to relay the order.
Long Yue returned to the Forbidden Palace once again.
He wanted to give some instructions, but his gaze involuntarily fell on the dragon egg.
More precisely, it landed on the figure inside the egg, which had dragon horns on its head and a dragon tail on its back.
Its aura is restrained, as if it were asleep, yet it gives one a sense of excitement as if their heart is about to be reawakened.
That build clearly belongs to Qin Wangchuan.
In a daze, she saw once again the True Dragon ruler draped in a magnificent robe of ten thousand dragons.
Unrivaled in nobility, looking down upon the world!
"That Ancient Dragon aura emanating from him... was it him? Or her?"
Long Yue murmured to herself, but dared not guess.
Ancient Dragon has not yet been born; any excessive expectations will only lead to disappointment.
Just then, another Dragon Guard rushed in to report.
"Lord of Fate Warden, a True Dragon caught in the battle has been discovered near the Ancient Dragon Hall. Non-Self kind and must have come from outside."
He then added gravely, "The key issue is that the person claims to be searching for Sacred Relic, and his aura is extremely unusual. What should we do?"
"A foreign True Dragon, its aura is extraordinary?"
Long Yue's eyes flashed, and she immediately understood.
It must be another Destined One, drawn here by the aura of the dragon egg.
Appearing at this critical juncture...
"I see."
She whispered a few instructions to the Dragon Girl dressed in sacrificial robes, telling them to guard the dragon eggs under all circumstances and not to leave the core of the Forbidden Palace.
Then, he turned and walked outside.
Long Yue was not going to welcome this Destined One.
On the contrary, she went to issue a warning and to draw a clear line.
The throne is unique and cannot be shared by others.
The future of the True Dragon Clan can only have one ruler.
In the final moments before the birth of that sovereign, anything that might interfere with this process must be eliminated.
If you have anyone to blame, it's that you arrived too late.
