The Terror of the Dragon Tomb, Enlightenment Once More

A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

"The Profound Origin Sword has been successfully refined. It's time to set out for the Dragon Palace."

The low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure bestowed by Ao Xue was of decent quality.

It contained twelve restrictions.

It was among the finest of low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

After putting away the spiritual treasure, Lin Changsheng glanced in the direction of the Dragon Palace and headed toward it.

Although the Dragon Clan showed faint signs of becoming the overlord of the East Sea, the East Sea was vast and boundless, concealing countless Great Powers.

Thus, Lin Changsheng did not dare to recklessly rampage about courting death.

He continued steadily toward the Dragon Palace, guided by the prompts of the Eye of Insight.

The closer he drew to the Dragon Palace, the more Lin Changsheng could sense that terrifying, oppressive aura.

Along the way, he saw an increasing number of Dragon Clan members.

However, most of these Dragon Clan members were hurrying along, and none caused any trouble.

After all, their most urgent task now was to rush to the Dragon Palace and take part in the battle for the Dragon Transformation Pool.

By the time Lin Changsheng arrived, an immense palace stretching beyond sight appeared before him.

It extended for trillions upon trillions of miles, with no end visible at a glance.

Powerful auras lurked faintly within the Dragon Palace.

Among them, the aura at the center of the Dragon Palace was the most terrifying.

There was no need to think about it—it had to be Ancestor Dragon's secluded cultivation site.

Lin Changsheng withdrew his gaze and discovered that several million Dragon Clan experts had already gathered at the entrance to the Dragon Palace.

And that number was still growing at a frantic pace.

The Primordial Continent was boundless, and its living beings were innumerable—far more than millions of trillions.

Therefore, it was only natural for the Dragon Clan to have so many clansmen.

Yet these Dragon Clan descendants did not exchange pleasantries or provoke one another.

Instead, each found a place to rest with their eyes closed.

That was understandable.

There were so many Dragon Clan descendants, yet resources were limited.

Thus, every Dragon Clan member was a competitor.

And they were about to undergo a trial.

There was simply no need to provoke a fight at such a time.

After casually sweeping his gaze over them, Lin Changsheng discovered that those who had made it here were at least Early Golden Immortals.

He even spotted quite a few Late Golden Immortal Dragon Clan descendants.

Worthy of the Dragon Clan indeed.

No wonder they had become one of the protagonists of the Primordial Wilderness after the Ferocious Beast Tribulation.

This foundation alone was terrifying enough.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Changsheng also chose a spot and continued refining the Profound Origin Sword.

After an unknown amount of time passed, as more and more Dragon Clan descendants gathered, a high-pitched dragon roar rang out from within the Dragon Palace.

At that moment, every Dragon Clan descendant opened their eyes.

"The Dragon Transformation Pool is open."

"All Dragon Clan descendants who can pass through the Dragon Tomb may reach the Dragon Transformation Pool."

The voice of an expert resounded throughout the Dragon Palace.

As those words fell, the gates of the Dragon Palace opened.

A desolate, deathly aura rushed out to meet them.

The Dragon Tomb was the final resting place of Dragon Clan members throughout the generations.

There were young dragons as weak as those in the Celestial Immortal Realm.

There were also Dragon Clan Great Powers as mighty as Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

Their corpses would all enter the Dragon Tomb after death.

Though they were merely corpses, the lingering resentment and pressure left behind after death made the Dragon Tomb fraught with danger.

Only by successfully passing through the Dragon Tomb could one prove their aptitude and ultimately enter the Dragon Transformation Pool.

If they could not withstand this pressure or the hidden dangers, they would eventually become part of the Dragon Tomb themselves, buried within it.

Therefore, anyone wishing to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool had to be prepared for death first.

Even so, the instant the gates of the Dragon Palace opened, these Dragon Clan members charged inside without hesitation.

Compared to danger, the Dragon Transformation Pool was their ultimate goal.

Countless Dragon Clan members surged inside, and Lin Changsheng refused to fall behind as he followed them in.

The moment he passed through the gates, the scene before him abruptly changed.

It was as though he had entered another Cave Heaven World.

It was boundless, with no sense of direction.

Before Lin Changsheng could inspect his surroundings, a terrifying pressure weighed down on his body, nearly sending him crashing to the ground.

He hurriedly steadied himself.

What powerful pressure.

No, it was not merely pressure.

Although the faint Grand Unity Golden Immortal pressure filled them with fear, it was not enough to suppress their physical bodies.

It was gravity!

Lin Changsheng looked at the other Dragon Clan members and found that they were in much the same state as him.

So that was it.

It appeared that one only needed to pass through the Dragon Tomb to reach the Dragon Transformation Pool.

But in truth, this trial contained profound mysteries.

First was this gravity, which constantly oppressed the physical body.

There was no need to think about it. The deeper they went, the stronger the gravity would become.

The greater the test of one's physical body would be.

At the same time, there was the pressure left behind by deceased Dragon Clan experts.

This pressure would fill them with fear, subjecting their primordial spirits to unimaginable crushing force.

This was only the entrance, where the buried Dragon Clan members were not particularly powerful.

The deeper they went, the stronger the deceased Dragon Clan members became.

Though they had been dead for endless ages.

The lingering pressure they left behind was still terrifying when mixed together.

Passing through the Dragon Tomb was enough to prove one's aptitude.

If one's strength was insufficient, they could only retreat.

Forcing one's way deeper would lead only to being crushed apart.

Having understood the Dragon Tomb's trial, Lin Changsheng had a clear idea of what to expect.

At that moment, many Late Golden Immortal Dragon Clan members had already begun pressing onward against the gravity.

Before long, they disappeared from sight.

The remaining Middle Golden Immortals and Early Golden Immortals also began moving deeper inside.

The pressure at the entrance was still within their capacity to bear.

Lin Changsheng took a look and began advancing as well.

Sure enough, just as he had expected, the deeper he went, the more terrifying the dual pressure of gravity and aura became.

Along the way, he saw quite a few Dragon Clan bones.

The lingering auras on these bones were not especially powerful.

They were only at the Celestial Immortal Realm.

As he continued deeper, he encountered True Immortal Dragon Bones, Mystic Immortal Dragon Bones.

And then Dragon Clan bones at the Golden Immortal Realm.

The pressure here was already extremely terrifying.

Quite a few Dragon Clan members had begun to slow down.

Some could barely hold on any longer.

The difference in aptitude began to show from this point onward.

Lin Changsheng sensed it for a moment. He could still withstand this pressure.

If he continued deeper, he would likely have to use a spiritual treasure.

Sure enough, after advancing several tens of thousands of kilometers farther, the gravity had reached an unbearable level.

It was as though Primeval Divine Mountains were pressing down upon his body, about to crush him apart.

In particular, the pressure carried by that aura was growing ever more intense.

His primordial spirit endured tearing pain at every moment.

Roar!

Lin Changsheng even heard a pained roar, followed by the scent of blood.

Clearly, a Dragon Clan descendant had been unable to endure it and had already been crushed apart.

Even the Late Golden Immortal Dragon Clan members had become exceedingly slow.

Under the dual pressure here, it was already nearing the level of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Many Dragon Clan descendants had already used Innate Spiritual Treasures.

And his Heavenly Dragon Hegemony Body Technique had been pushed to its limit.

Yet he still found it difficult to withstand the gravitational pressure.

His technique's grade and body-forging strength were still too low.

However, this had become an excellent opportunity to forge his body.

He could take this chance to try perfecting his technique.

[Through comprehending this gravitational pressure, you began further perfecting your own body forging technique.]

His top-tier comprehension allowed Lin Changsheng to enter Enlightenment once more.

Under the oppression of the gravity, the scales on his body began to shatter and fall away.

The occasional Dragon Clan members who passed by and saw this scene all sneered.

He really was courting death.

He actually dared to enter Enlightenment under such circumstances.

Before his Enlightenment even ended, he would probably be crushed apart completely.

But Lin Changsheng felt none of this.

He was only focused on improving and enhancing the Heavenly Dragon Hegemony Body Technique.

At the same time, this scene was observed by the Dragon Clan Elders outside.
