Di Tian, Dragon Ancestor? Trouble Caused by Bloodline!

The Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword was Yang Tian's greatest offensive trump card. For the first time, the Ancient Desolate Saint Body's inexhaustible Soul Power showed signs of depletion. Yet even that was not enough. The Vacuum Bloodline, which had never been activated since their fusion, awakened at that moment. A towering dragon's might suddenly erupted from Yang Tian's body. Brilliant golden diamond-shaped scales formed into armor, greatly enhancing him while adding another layer of protection.

The giant claw paused once more, and the force contained within it weakened considerably. But its remaining power was still beyond Yang Tian's ability to withstand.

The Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword left a bloody mark on Di Tian's giant claw, actually cutting through Di Tian's defenses. But that was all. The hand, over ten meters long, gently closed around Yang Tian, catching Zhu Zhuqing, who was closest to him, as well.

Having seized Yang Tian, the giant claw retreated without hesitation.

Seeing Xiao Wu and Yang Tian both being taken away, Tang San completely lost his mind. "Heavenly Brother, Xiao Wu! No!!!"

Tang San's eyes became bloodshot and crimson. He charged desperately in the direction of the Titan Giant Ape.

Within the endless void, a giant hand carried the two small figures swiftly back. In a blur, light appeared again, and a rich aura of life rushed toward them.

Yang Tian extended his divine sense and instantly guessed where he had been brought.

The giant claw gently placed Yang Tian and Zhu Zhuqing on the ground. Then, a man dressed in black appeared before them, followed by several men and women.

There was Di Tian, cold-faced and domineering; Xiong Jun, honest-looking yet savage; the effeminate Ten Thousand Demons King; seductive and alluring Zi Ji; gentle and pure Bi Ji; as well as the haughty Scarlet King and Demon Spirit, wreathed in evil energy.

Having come here, Yang Tian had already formed some guesses. The only thing worth Di Tian personally making a move for was his True Dragon Bloodline.

Zhu Zhuqing looked around in panic. Yang Tian reached out, pulled her up from the ground, and shielded her behind him. Only then did he look at Di Tian, frowning. "What merit could this junior possibly have to warrant the Beast God personally taking action and all of you senior ferocious beasts coming out together?"

Di Tian had been examining Yang Tian, but Yang Tian's first words gave him a surprise.

One had to know that very few people on Douluo Continent knew of their existence nowadays, much less a child. Yet Yang Tian's knowledge only further confirmed a certain person's speculation.

Di Tian remained silent, but the ferocious beasts behind him revealed looks of surprise. Their existence was extremely secretive. How could a human child recognize them?

Seeing that Di Tian did not answer, Yang Tian's gaze subtly drifted toward the lake. But the instant he looked over, Di Tian's eyes flashed sharply.

"Kid, you know quite a lot!" Di Tian stared at Yang Tian. It was impossible to tell whether he was praising him or meant something else.

Zhu Zhuqing's face was deathly pale as she held Yang Tian's arm. Seeing him confront Di Tian and the others without fear, she experienced for the first time what it felt like to be cherished and protected.

Yang Tian pursed his lips, his thoughts racing. He immediately said, "I hadn't wanted to come here this early, but I never expected you to capture me and bring me here. It seems I'm still too weak. She actually sensed me."

As Yang Tian spoke, he faced the lake. "Stop hiding. I'm already here, so what meaning is there in concealing yourself any longer?"

Di Tian silently stared at Yang Tian, growing increasingly shocked. Could he truly be, as my lord said, the savior and hope of our soul beasts?

The lake's surface remained calm and unruffled, but beneath it stood an incomparably beautiful woman in a silver gown, with a graceful figure and flowing silver hair.

Her features were flawless, as if they were the Creator's most perfect carving. Crystal high heels adorned her feet. With a gentle step, she had already appeared before Yang Tian.

There was no emotional ripple in her pale violet eyes. Her delicate brows were faintly furrowed, a sight that made one's heart ache.

"Who are you?" Gu Yue Na asked softly, her voice dreamlike, gentle, and captivating.

Yang Tian looked directly into Gu Yue Na's face, marveling inwardly that such a perfect person truly existed in this world.

Zhu Zhuqing tightened her hold on Yang Tian's arm. By now, she had forgotten her fear. Instead, a faint sense of threat and urgency rose within her, as though something precious was about to be taken away from her.

Yang Tian was not bewitched by Gu Yue Na's peerless beauty. He said, "Who am I... Should I say that I am the Dragon Ancestor? Or should I say that I am merely an ordinary person?

"I am simply someone who possesses the True Dragon Bloodline.

"Perhaps you will be disappointed."

A gleam flashed through Gu Yue Na's pale violet eyes. She then glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was pressed closely against Yang Tian, and nodded thoughtfully. "You are human, but you possess the purest bloodline of the dragon race. The nobility of your bloodline even surpasses that of the Dragon God..."

"So what? What was your purpose in bringing me here? Don't tell me you want me to join you in opposing the God Realm?" Yang Tian noticed Gu Yue Na's choice of words, and his scalp prickled. He was truly afraid he might accidentally get himself killed.

Gu Yue Na pondered briefly, seemingly considering something, before speaking again. "The soul beasts are in trouble. Please lend us your aid. The soul beast race is willing to honor you as our sovereign!"

Ding! Mission issued: Help the soul beast race escape its predicament.

Mission reward: One Legendary Grade Theft Ticket.

Ding! Mission issued: Heal Gu Yue Na's injuries.

Mission reward: One Legendary Grade Theft Ticket.

Yang Tian's heartbeat quickened, but he forcibly suppressed it. Then he asked, "What else did the Dragon God know? Your bloodlines are impure. He must have only obtained an incomplete bloodline inheritance, or he would not have fallen to such a state."

Yang Tian was gambling. He guessed that the soul beast race possessed legends concerning True Dragons. The other dragons might not know, but Gu Yue Na, as the Dragon God's incarnation, certainly would. What Yang Tian was betting on was that such a legend existed among the dragon race!

And indeed, just as Yang Tian had guessed, the Dragon God's bloodline came from an impure inheritance of the True Dragon Bloodline. That was why he had failed to transform into a True Dragon body.

Only the Dragon God knew this information, and he had always been searching for the True Dragon inheritance.

"May I see what a True Dragon looks like?" Gu Yue Na asked, speaking to Yang Tian as an equal.

Yang Tian knew that Gu Yue Na was testing him.

He gently patted Zhu Zhuqing's little hand. Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yang Tian nervously.

"Don't worry. They won't hurt us," Yang Tian comforted her, then pinched her cheek.

Zhu Zhuqing blushed. Reluctantly, she released Yang Tian's arm. Yang Tian walked to one side and began circulating the True Dragon Bloodline within his body.

He had not yet carefully studied the True Dragon Bloodline, but he could still activate it.

Golden light surged forth. This was not the glow of the Ancient Desolate Saint Body's Soul Power, but a manifestation of the True Dragon Bloodline's power.

The golden radiance was incomparably noble. Dragon-scale armor once again appeared over Yang Tian's body. At the same time, True Dragon vitality surged, and the golden light surrounding him gathered on its own into the phantom of a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

The golden dragon phantom was like mist, not solid in the slightest. Yet its inviolable majesty was innate.

Gu Yue Na and Di Tian both stared blankly. That dragon shadow was unimaginably far inferior to their true forms, yet they instinctively believed that a True Dragon should look exactly like this.

Gu Yue Na's gaze also grew firmer. The memories inherited from the Dragon God told her that the dragon shadow was the True Dragon's true appearance.
