"Their power is terrifying." Big Black Dog's legs trembled a little. "We should leave. If even one Primordial Royal Clan member emerges, a million corpses will surely fall, and blood will flow for a thousand miles."
During Great Emperor Wushi's era, the followers of the Undying Heavenly Sovereign in Purple Mountain had emerged once and slaughtered across the land. Later, Great Emperor Wushi forced them back. Even the Undying Heavenly Empress was driven away.
It had seen plenty of the Primordial Royal Clan's terror during Great Emperor Wushi's era. It had been nothing more than a trivial matter to Great Emperor Wushi, but now there was no Great Emperor for it to cling to.
"Don't be afraid. Just wait here and receive me. I'll go in alone." Lin Yu's goal was the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. How could he retreat when he was already at the doorstep?
"Then I'll wait here for you. Don't forget me if there are any benefits." The moment it heard that it would not need to take risks itself, Black Emperor's greedy heart became active again.
Lin Yu shot it an annoyed glance. This damned dog truly never changed its black-hearted ways. He wondered how Great Emperor Wushi had managed to put up with it back then.
Demon God Seal!
Black snowflakes drifted down, then turned dark gold and entered Lin Yu's body, sealing his aura. His presence gradually became faint and indistinct. Unless one stood directly before him, one would only think he was a stone.
Hell Furnace! A distorted Force Field appeared, its range continuously shrinking until it clung tightly to Lin Yu's clothes. As he kept adjusting it, the light began to distort, and his figure gradually turned transparent.
Lin Yu vanished before Black Emperor's eyes. No matter how it sensed, there was only empty space ahead.
The Divine Elephant's Prison Technique was vast and profound. Many methods revealed themselves naturally with only a little exploration.
Seeing Black Emperor looking around in every direction, Lin Yu's heart stirred. He quietly walked over and, catching it off guard, gave its head a furious rub!
"Woof woof! Brat, who gave you permission to touch my head?!" Black Emperor flew into a rage. Who was he? Great Emperor Wushi's dog! Yet now another person had touched him. He felt defiled.
Haha, watching Big Black Dog rage helplessly, Lin Yu secretly laughed and left.
The Dragon Qi of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest surged like a tide. Nine great Dragon Veins and countless smaller Dragon Veins intertwined. Lin Yu used the Source Heaven Divine Technique to control the Dragon Qi, drifting forward like a ghost within it.
He passed one Primordial Being after another. Everything around him remained normal, without stirring the slightest reaction.
Suddenly, he caught a fragrant scent that refreshed his spirit. Lin Yu realized what he had encountered.
True Dragon Undying Medicine!
Undying Divine Medicine was undoubtedly one of the defining features of the Shrouding World. Aside from naturally born immortal medicines such as the Enlightenment Tea Tree, Ancient Bodhi Tree, and Fusang Tree, most of the others had originated from True Immortals and Immortal Kings who suffered calamities during the Immortal Ancient Era.
They had originally been immortal medicines, but at the end of the Turbulent Ancient Era, they had been struck down by the will of heaven and degraded. Even so, they could endure eternally in the world and extend an emperor's life by one generation.
Undying Divine Medicine contained Immortal Dao Laws. If a divine medicine suppressed the Pure Land of Gods during cultivation of the Divine Elephant's Prison Technique, it would definitely make it even more powerful.
There were said to be more than thirty Undying Divine Medicines in the Shrouding World, but only a dozen or so had been clearly recorded. Excluding young plants, broken branches, petrified and useless ones, all the rest were either in great danger zones or protected by Great Emperors and Supremes. The True Dragon Divine Medicine was one of the easiest to obtain.
Lin Yu arrived at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. The Qi of ten thousand dragons flowed past, while the True Dragon Undying Medicine swayed as it absorbed the essence of the ten thousand dragons.
This divine medicine was dazzling, golden from top to bottom, and over a foot tall. Its nine leaves resembled clouds, and at its crown was a fruit: a palm-length golden dragon.
The golden dragon held a golden pearl in its mouth. Its light flickered, crystalline and resplendent.
"Wait obediently for me here."
Since the divine medicine was as good as his, Lin Yu decided to explore the Dragon Nest and rescue Dongfang Taiyi, the Human Demon, while he was at it. He silently drifted past the divine medicine, waving his sleeve without taking away even a single cloud.
After entering the nine ancient caverns, he found honeycomb-like tunnels within. At their end stood an enormous Stone Gate. Primordial Race script was carved upon it, like little dragons sealing the exit of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
"Looks like I'll have to learn from Brother Monkey today." He mobilized the Dragon Qi and influenced the Stone Gate's restrictions, turning the area hazy. Then he used the Hell Furnace to envelop the surroundings, preventing even a trace of aura from leaking out.
Then he took out the Spear of the Underworld God, sliced open his palm, and let dark golden blood drip down. Pitch-black hellfire ignited upon the Spear of the Underworld God.
Lin Yu then began drilling into the Stone Gate with the Spear of the Underworld God. Under the Hell True Flame, the Stone Gate was like tofu. Before long, he had drilled a hole through it.
Although the ancient characters on this Stone Gate had been branded with a Saint weapon and were quite extraordinary, capable of blocking a Holy Lord's attack, the material itself was merely what it was.
After all, the strongest force in the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Nest was the sealed ancient race within. The Stone Gate merely served as concealment.
They could probably never have imagined that one day, someone would drill a hole through the Stone Gate and slip inside without triggering the restrictions.
"It seems this venerable one is fated with dragons!" With his mastery of the Source Heavenly Book, this place could be considered half of Lin Yu's home ground.
Within the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, an ancient and weathered aura filled the air. Divine radiance was endless, life essence surged like tides, and Dragon Qi roared like great rivers.
Countless enormous blocks of divine source floated there, each containing sealed Primordial Beings. Every one of them was terrifying.
Some had lower bodies that were enormous snake forms, seven or eight meters long, while their upper bodies were humanoid, with three heads and six arms.
Some had purple hair and purple eyes, along with a pair of golden Divine Wings that seemed forged from divine gold. Their lower bodies were serpentine, over ten meters long, their golden scales flashing as they looked as valiant as gods.
Gazing toward the center of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, where Dragon Qi was at its densest and ten thousand dragons coiled around one another in dazzling splendor, he saw a vermilion ancient coffin floating and sinking, buried amid blocks of divine source. That was the coffin Empress Ruthless used for transformation.
The most talented woman since ancient times was absolutely no empty title. Others who achieved great things always had wise teachers and good friends beside them along their cultivation paths. Only Empress Ruthless had explored alone and carved out the road ahead.
In particular, her achievement of transforming into a Chaos Body in one lifetime was truly astonishing. The Chaos Body was one of the highest-grade constitutions in the universe, standing alongside the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo and the Immortal Gold Holy Spirit. Yet someone had managed to transform into one in a single lifetime without any precedent.
Lin Yu carefully circled around these Primordial Beings, finding it extremely thrilling. If he made even the slightest mistake and awakened them, he would have no choice but to flee with the Leaving Fire Divine Furnace. As for Black Emperor, it could only pray for its own luck.
There were countless ancient caverns within the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. Only the central area sealed the Ancient Sovereign Race, whose bodies were closer to human form.
Inside a dragon-shaped ancient cavern was a three-meter-long block of divine source, its light piercing. Within it slept a purple-haired middle-aged man who looked exactly like a human.
There was also a woman, exceptionally tranquil, just like a human girl. One could not tell at all that she was a Primordial Being.
However, upon careful sensing, one could discover an ocean-like terrifying power dormant within the girl's body. Once it erupted, heaven and earth would be destroyed together!
Lin Yu suspected that she was the daughter of the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor.
He traveled dozens of miles, passing ancient caverns one after another and seeing sealed Primordial Royal Clan members one after another. He also encountered three of Empress Ruthless's coffins before reaching the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
Within the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, nine ancient caverns resembling true dragons twisted and stretched, their lengths unknown, perhaps extending for tens of thousands of miles.
Their tails faced outward, while all nine dragon heads pointed toward the central region, forming a layout quite similar to nine dragons guarding Purple Mountain.
Underground, the majestic terrain resembled a dragon, covered in dragon-shaped ancient caverns, as though ten thousand dragons lay hidden beneath it.
At the central immortal ground, countless ancient trees had been piled together to form an enormous nest as tall as a mountain. More than ten thousand great dragons appeared and vanished within it, all formed from condensed Dragon Qi.
Dragon Qi surged. A gust of Gale Force swept through, revealing an ancient coffin. It was Empress Ruthless's fourth-life coffin.
Lin Yu remembered that Empress Ruthless's corpse and an Immortal Treasure Map were inside, recording the coordinates of the Immortal Realm.
Unfortunately, the map was of no use to him. After paying his respects, Lin Yu turned and left.
