A terrifying aura instantly permeated the entire Dragon Clan. All the Dragon Clan, whether they were in seclusion cultivating, young dragons resting, or adult dragons doing unspeakable things, were all disturbed by this sudden and terrifying aura.
Their scales involuntarily stood up, their dragon eyes filled with terror, and they all stopped what they were doing, casting fearful glances in the direction from which the aura was coming.
A Dragon Clan prodigy trembled as he asked, "This aura is terrifying! What exactly happened in the forbidden area?"
Another Dragon Clan prodigy spoke up, "The forbidden area has always been a closely guarded secret of the clan. Apart from the few Immortal Emperor ancestors in the clan, how could we possibly know about it?"
An elderly Dragon Clan elder spoke up, "I have sensed this aura before. It appeared when Xiao Jing single-handedly invaded my Dragon Clan. I never expected that after so long, this terrifying aura would reappear!"
One of the Dragon Clan prodigies said, "Do you think it's possible that a peerless powerhouse of our Dragon Clan is hidden within the forbidden area?"
Upon hearing this, the group of the Dragon Clan prodigies nodded in agreement, agreeing that what this Dragon Clan prodigy said made sense. Otherwise, they wouldn't know how to explain the origin of this terrifying aura; only this explanation was the most reasonable.
Inside the magnificent palace of the Dragon Clan, the expressions of several Dragon Clan Immortal Emperor suddenly changed, their originally peaceful faces instantly replaced by shock and astonishment.
Ao Fen intently at the direction of the forbidden area, and asked gravely, "What's going on here?"
The other Dragon Clan Immortal Emperor remained silent and did not respond, because they also did not know what had happened.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Ao Xuanying said to the Immortal Emperor, "Let's go take a look!"
With that, he vanished from the main hall.
The three Dragon Clan Immortal Emperor didn't linger either, disappearing from the main hall as well.
The Dragon Clan's Forbidden Land is hidden deep within the Dragon Clan's territory, perpetually shrouded in mist, making it impossible to discern its contents. No records in the entire Immortal Realm definitively state when this forbidden land came into existence; it seems to have appeared out of thin air.
Even within the Dragon Clan's lineage, the taboos and dangers of this forbidden land are merely passed down from generation to generation; they have no idea how it was originally created.
The secrets within are known only to the few Immortal Emperor of the Dragon Clan —no, and also to the Heavenly Dao!
Apart from the Dragon Clan Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Dao, no other living being knows the secret of this forbidden land.
The reason is that this is the territory of the Dragon Clan, and no living being dares to trespass here, except for the God Clan, of course. However, the God Clan are not interested in this forbidden area, so they have not sent anyone to investigate.
Looking inward from the edge of the forbidden area, the view is obscured by a hazy force, seemingly not belonging to this world. And deep within the forbidden area, four enormous pillars stand majestically.
Each pillar requires hundreds of people to barely reach its edge, and its surface shimmers with a deep, dark blue luster, like a mysterious substance from the depths of the universe. It is carved with the ferocious faces of many mythical beasts, including dragons, Fire Phoenix, Ice Phoenix, Qilin, and Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.
Each pillar was wrapped with an iron chain the size of a bucket. The chain seemed to be made of a mixture of mysterious metals, emitting a cold, eerie light, and faintly covered with dark red rust. The chains intertwined and clattered together, producing a soft metallic clanging sound that echoed in the silence.
Between the four pillars, a massive stone gate stands silently. The gate is as tall as the pillars, approximately several thousand feet high, and nearly a thousand feet wide, as if it were an entrance to another world.
The stone gate exudes an ancient and weathered aura, as if it has existed for hundreds of millions of years. Four iron chains on the stone pillars are tightly wrapped around the stone gate, as if afraid that the unknown creatures inside might break out.
However, even though it was tightly bound by iron chains, the stone door still managed to open a crack. Although the crack seemed tiny, a terrifying aura was emanating from it!
Four Dragon Clan Immortal Emperor appeared in the arena, their eyes fixed on the stone gate, their brows furrowed, their eyes filled with unprecedented solemnity and shock.
Ao Yishang said, "Why is there a crack in this door? What are they trying to do?"
Just then, an even more terrifying power surged out from the crack. The four Dragon Clan Immortal Emperor' expressions changed instantly. They hurriedly circulated their internal power in an attempt to resist, but the terrifying power still sent them flying!
They retreated tens of thousands of feet before finally coming to a stop!
The four Dragon Clan Immortal Emperor steadied themselves, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces turning deathly pale, their eyes filled with disbelief and terror.
That's terrifying!
This power is absolutely terrifying!
They are Immortal Emperor!
But they still couldn't contend with that power. Isn't that terrifying?
Just then, a voice echoed from the crack, "Gentlemen, how is life in this Immortal Realm?"
The voice was icy cold, with an unspeakable hint of mockery.
Several Dragon Clan Immortal Emperor felt their hair stand on end, a chill running from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, and an intense sense of crisis swept through their entire bodies.
They simultaneously drew their weapons, their eyes fixed on the stone gate, their inner power surging, seemingly ready to fight at any moment.
The voice rang out again, "Heh, you're all such cowards."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the several Dragon Clan Immortal Emperor instantly turned grim, and the hands holding their weapons involuntarily clenched tighter.
The voice said, "Don't be nervous. We are from the same origin, after all. I won't hurt you."
The Dragon Clan immortal Immortal Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, but they still dared not relax, because no one knew whether the owner of that voice would suddenly make a move.
Ao Xuanying narrowed his eyes, staring at the stone door, and asked, "What is your purpose?"
The voice paused briefly, then said, "We want to return, and we hope you can destroy this seal."
Ao Xuanying and the other three Dragon Clan Immortal Emperor frowned immediately, their eyes flashing with confusion and doubt.
Ao Xuanying said in a deep voice, "You left the Immortal Realm so decisively back then, why are you thinking of coming back?"
The voice said, "What kind of talk is this? This is our ancestral land. Can't we come back for a visit?"
Ao Xuanying sneered, "Do you think I believe you or not?"
The voice fell silent again, but soon returned, "You don't need to know why we've returned, but I can promise you that if you destroy this seal, we will allow you to return and will give you unimaginable benefits."
