Long Chen's back trembled. He tried to spread the Kunpeng wings, but was shocked to find that his wings had vanished.
"My Kunpeng wings have actually been washed away." Long Chen was startled, but thinking about how even his own life blood had almost been washed away, let alone the wings of the Kunpeng.
However, Long Chen's Kunpeng wings were formed by refining the runes of the wings, and those runes had already been imprinted in his mind.
"Buzz"—
the Kunpeng wings appeared again, but this one was a manifestation of thunderous power. It was unclear whether Long Chen was deliberately provoking the middle-aged man, but the thunder wings still retained the Kunpeng wings.
Summoning wings, Long Chen sped forward. On the Kunpeng wings conjured by thunderous power, runes swirled, and his speed was not much slower than the original Kunpeng wings.
After leaving the Imperial Clan's Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, Long Chen suddenly noticed that some of the nests had previously been overcrowded, but now the nests were empty, while the ancestral scale still floated at the core of the nest.
When Long Chen arrived at the White Dragon Clan's Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, he found that all the White Dragon Clan members had disappeared, though many other Dragon Clan experts were still there, enjoying the baptism of holy light.
When Long Chen arrived, a powerful dragon clan member immediately stepped forward and respectfully said,
"Lord Long Chen, Lady Yingxue and the others have completed the dragon blood marrow cleansing and have just left. If they encounter you, please inform them."
Dragon blood marrow-washing? Long Chen was stunned at first, then suddenly realized that the imperial clan expert had used violence to exchange blood and transform his body, probably as a form of marrow-cleansing.
According to the Qiankun Cauldron, after marrow cleansing, one must undergo a heavenly tribulation and advance to Divine Venerable before qualifying to challenge the ancestral scale.
Before crossing the tribulation, one still needs to find a suitable place to undergo it, and at the same time, wait for the awakening of all paths in the Illusory Spirit Realm—this is the best time to cross the tribulation.
The so-called awakening of myriad paths, whether in the Illusory Spirit Realm, the Void Spirit Realm, or the Xuanling Realm, the three realms are united and awaken simultaneously.
According to the Qiankun Cauldron, it is the best time to cross the tribulation during the Feng Shui cycle of the Nine Heavens World and the changing fortunes of fortune.
At that time, strange phenomena will appear from the heavens, and the laws of the Nine Heavens Passage will undergo drastic changes. At that time, the ancient aura will arrive, and during the tribulation, one can absorb ancient spiritual energy through the power of the heavenly tribulation and enjoy the tribulation methods of ancient powerhouses.
It should be understood that with the changes of the times, the laws of heaven and earth have become incomplete, so whether it's humans or other races, their souls, talents, and bloodlines show signs of decline.
Especially for races relying on bloodline inheritance, countless bloodline runes have begun to enter a dormant state, and some bloodlines have even been unable to awaken due to prolonged dormancy.
No one knew how many runes in their bodies were still dormant or whether they would be awakened again.
Therefore, countless people have been waiting for this myriad paths awakening phenomenon to appear. Undergoing tribulation in this state is their only chance to awaken their dormant bloodline.
Although the world was now peaceful and there was no sign of the myriad Dao awakening, people like Bai Yingxue, who had made countless preparations to subdue the Reverse Scale, had already begun searching early for the best place to cross the tribulation, fully prepared.
Bai Yingxue was quite meticulous. She sent people to search for Long Chen, but found no trace of him, and guessed that Long Chen had very likely gone to the Imperial Clan's Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
They dared not approach the Imperial Clan's Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. The sea of lava would burn their souls. Aside from Long Chen, no one else could enter the Imperial Clan Ten Thousand Dragon Nest so easily.
Even if they wanted to try their luck, it was definitely not now. Before subduing their ancestral scales, they would set their sights on the imperial scales. That would be no different from throwing themselves to their deaths.
So, Bai Yingxue left with her clansmen, and before leaving, she had instructed those around her to explain why Long Chen had left if Long Chen came looking for them.
After understanding the whole story, Long Chen left the White Dragon Clan's Ten Thousand Dragon Nest and went straight to the Nether Dragon Clan's Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
The Dark Dragon Clan's Ten Thousand Dragon Nest had already been destroyed, but the ancestral scale still floated in the void. When Long Chen returned again, he could no longer sense the aura of the Dark Dragon Amaterasu itself, indicating that the Dragon had already left.
In a fit of anger, Long Chen lashed out at the ancestral scale, but he realized that at this moment, he couldn't do any harm to the ancestral scale and could only storm off.
At that time, Long Chen had an evil idea: to use the Qiankun Cauldron to smash the ancestral scales of the Underworld Dragon clan. Thinking of Minglong Tianzhao returning after all his hardships to subdue the reverse scale, only to find it gone, Long Chen could imagine the scene of Minglong Tianzhao furiously furious.
Unfortunately, Long Chen's idea was good, but the Qiankun Cauldron wouldn't do it. While it was easy to break the ancestral scales, being tainted by the Dragon Curse was not worth it. It had just awakened and didn't want to fall into another deep sleep.
Unable to resist the Qiankun Cauldron, Long Chen could only kick the ancestral scales of the Nether Dragon clan two more times. The thunder wings behind him trembled like a meteor, speeding away.
Long Chen flew for most of the day before finally emerging from the burial ground. When he emerged, he saw many other dragon clan experts flying out from the depths. Clearly, they were also heading out to seek a place to undergo their tribulation.
"Senior, I want to return to the Void Spirit Realm first!" After leaving the Dragon Burial Ground, Long Chen addressed the Qiankun Cauldron.
"The Void Spirit Realm is vast and boundless. You won't be able to find your brothers, so it's meaningless. We need to handle some serious matters." Qiankun Cauldron said.
"What serious business?" Long Chen asked.
"Time is precious. Just follow the direction I set for you. To save time, use a directional ultra-long-range teleportation array." The Qiankun Cauldron did not answer, but instead directly instructed Long Chen to use the teleportation array.
A directional ultra-long-distance teleportation array is a type of array capable of ultra-long-distance teleportation. Xia Chen had given Long Chen hundreds of such array disks.
This kind of directional ultra-long-distance array can send people over extremely long distances, and this distance changes due to spatial laws.
According to Xia Chen's multiple experiments, a single teleportation could save Long Chen about a month of travel time.
At Long Chen's speed, running for a month was almost impossible to calculate.
However, although this ultra-long-distance teleportation array travels far, it has a major drawback: poor accuracy, and if it encounters an invisible world barrier or a massive impact during teleportation, it could easily kill a person instantly.
Long Chen had many ultra-long-range teleportation arrays on him, but he didn't dare to use them lightly, because knowing the distance was useless, and not knowing the distance easily caused huge deviations, so its practical effect was mediocre.
But this time, since the Qiankun Cauldron asked him to use an ultra-long-range teleportation array, Long Chen felt confident and activated the array in the direction designated by the cauldron.
"Buzz"—
On the formation disk spanning several zhang, tens of millions of runes glowed. The mountain of spirit stones piled up inside instantly lost their luster, turning to dust.
"Whoosh."
The space before Long Chen's eyes twisted and then calmed. Before he could see the world clearly, a foul stench suddenly swept over, and the whole world went black in an instant.
