I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

"It seems you're determined to die."

The evil dragon leader couldn't hear Xuan Yuan and Ji Yu's voice transmission, but it could see everyone's reactions.

With a sneer, the giant python straightened its upper body, opened its blood-red maw, and spewed out deadly poisonous mist.

"Those who use drugs are despicable!"

Xuan Yuan was tall and strong, and even though his hair was gray, he still looked powerful.

When he gets serious, his thick white eyebrows resemble two patches of winter frost, and his tightly closed lips exude an undeniable authority.

With each step taken, the earth seemed to tremble slightly.

"Divine Elephant Collapses and Destroys the Heavens!"

The Heavenly Sovereign unleashed this attack, stirring up the entire area into chaos, and a surging storm of power swept outwards.

An ancient divine elephant descended from the sky, its pillar-like legs crushing the giant python's head, splattering a shower of blood.

"The Yu Wang Ding!"

Ji Yu followed closely behind, and a three-legged golden cauldron appeared out of thin air in his palm, growing to over a thousand feet tall in the wind.

They pushed it straight out, and the Evil Dragon Clan and the Xuanming Sect couldn't avoid it.

The two joined forces, tore through the defenses of the evil dragon clan, and charged into the depths of the dragon's might.

"over there!"

Shen Ming's Eye of Truth immediately located the entrance to the treasure realm, a cave located on the mountain wall!

"Go!"

Xuan Yuan and Ji Yu gave each other instructions and set up a defensive line on the mountainside.

Shen Ming and the others rushed into the cave, as if entering another world, and disappeared into thin air.

"Isn't it too easy?"

Just as Xuan Yuan was thinking this, two figures jumped down from above the cave, giving them no time to react, and flashed into the cave.

"Hahaha, the Ancestral Dragon rejected us and sealed off the Treasure Realm. Otherwise, would you have been able to pass through so easily?"

The evil dragon leader shouted triumphantly and surrounded them again.

Xuan Yuan and Ji Yu looked grim; the two people who had just gone in were both at the Earth Venerable Realm.

When they tried to send the Earthly Sovereign in to look after them, they discovered that the cave in the mountain wall had actually closed up.

“You all came in here to die, knowing nothing, and will become our meal.”

The leader of the evil dragon was smug, as if everything was under his control.

……

The treasure realm wasn't as vast as I had imagined.

Upon entering this place, the first thing that catches the eye is a gloomy sky, with dark clouds that look like spilled ink, heavy and oppressive.

The surrounding area was full of jagged rocks; if it weren't for the patch of sky above, one would think they had entered a mine.

In the very center stands a tall, black tree trunk, its shape menacing, resembling a giant dragon soaring into the sky.

"Who dares to disturb my slumber!"

The three people who entered heard angry voices.

The consciousness of the Ancestral Dragon split into two, residing in the Dragon Treasury and the Dragon King's Palace respectively, and their consciousnesses were not interconnected.

Therefore, the ancestral dragon's consciousness, which was dormant in Longzang, was unaware of what was happening.

Yuan Yao walked to the black tree trunk and began to speak, word by word.

Shen Ming and Ji Xuan couldn't understand it, but guessed it was the language of the dragon race.

"Cut into pieces, dismember the main bone, how arrogant! A bunch of petty villains, daring to plot against me! They will all be buried with me!"

The black tree trunk crackled with bolts of lightning, a sign of the ancestral dragon's wrath.

Yuan Yao looked anxious and hurriedly explained their purpose.

"Refine? A mere human dares to presume to refine my Supreme Bone! When have I ever been so weak!"

The First Emperor was equally furious. In his view, allowing the human race to refine the product and the ancient race to process it was a great disgrace.

The ancestral dragon consciousness of the Dragon King Palace, worshipped by the Yuan Yao family for generations, resonated with the will of heaven and earth in the Northern Region. Most importantly, it did not want the supreme dragon bone to be defiled by the evil dragon clan.

The ancestral dragon consciousness within Longzang has been dormant, isolated from the outside world, maintaining the arrogance of millions of years ago.

Yuan Yao seemed to have anticipated this situation, or rather, this was the reason she came in.

With his arms clasped in front of his chest and his face full of piety, a ray of light gradually appeared between his brows and flew into the black tree trunk.

The light seemed to be soothing the ancestral dragon's emotions; the lightning on the black tree trunk gradually disappeared, and the oppressive aura gradually lessened.

"Come forward."

Zu Long's voice remained reluctant.

Shen Ming and Ji Xuan then walked towards the black tree trunk. The two of them were shocked, feeling as if their souls were being seen through.

“True dragon bloodline, but your cultivation is too low, not enough. And you, I can’t see anything special about you either. Give up,” said the Ancestral Dragon.

"Zulong, I want to give it a try, even if I die, it will be an honor!" Ji Xuan said first.

Shen Ming remained silent, his attitude clear.

"The Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone is not something you can refine at will. If you are not careful during the process, you will die at the slightest chance. To refine it, you must stand in the tree trunk, which is comparable to the Supreme Tribulation! You have the bloodline of a true dragon, but your cultivation level is too low. The risk is extremely high. You should think carefully!"

And you, I see no connection between you and the dragon race. If you enter, you're doomed.

The First Emperor's strategy of retreating to advance is only half true.

Upon hearing the doubts, Shen Ming immediately unleashed the Nine Dragons Wind-Controlling Thunder.

"Dragon Clan Spiritual Technique? How strange!"

Zu Long's voice revealed surprise.

The Lord of Kowloon City saw Shen Ming cultivating the Dragon Clan's spiritual techniques after the extraordinary phenomenon of nine dragons and nine phoenixes, and naturally assumed that Shen Ming had a talent related to the Dragon Pearl.

Zulong saw through Shen Ming at a glance that he had absolutely no connection with the Dragon Clan and could not possibly have mastered the Dragon Clan's spiritual techniques.

How did you learn to train like that?

"Just practice like this."

Shen Ming didn't know any of this nonsense when he was practicing.

"No, no, it still won't work. Even if you cultivate the Dragon Clan's spiritual techniques, without the corresponding dragon treasures and without the bloodline of a true dragon, you cannot transform the Supreme Dragon Bone into your Yuan Platform."

"Longbao, is this what you mean?"

Shen Ming took out the cyan bead. Based on the commotion along the way, he knew that this was the dragon treasure the other party had mentioned.

"The Supreme Dragon Ball? You...you...you!!!"

Zu Long felt a sudden toothache; this person had come prepared and was well-prepared.

"Alright, alright, I'll be frank with you. I don't want to be refined. I want to exist alongside heaven and earth."

But I, outside, have made a dragon oath, and I cannot refuse you.

Therefore, during the refining process, I will treat you in the most stringent and intense way.

If you die in it, then it will not be a breach of the dragon oath!

I can tell you, this is absolutely beyond your limits!

Zulong is no longer pretending; he's laid his cards on the table.

As soon as he finished speaking, the black tree trunk burst into flames, but not flames; instead, it was a surge of plasma.

"If you want to die, then start!"

Ji Xuan took a few steps back, his pupils trembling.

If Zu Long had said something like that, it must have been extremely dangerous. However, since he mentioned the Dragon Oath, there were certain conditions that had to be met, and it was impossible to kill them outright.

In the past, Ji Xuan would have stepped forward without hesitation, for opportunity and crisis go hand in hand.

However, he was not afraid of danger, but he was afraid of Shen Ming!

"Can I really outmaneuver him?"

Every previous failure made Ji Xuan uneasy, and he hesitated to step forward.

In the struggle, Shen Ming leaped into the water and landed there. His resolute figure completely shattered Ji Xuan's confidence.

It's impossible to win!

Ji Xuan chose to give up and turned to leave.

He wanted to leave this place and go home.

Before he had taken more than a few steps, a young man from an ancient tribe blocked his way. His eyes were completely black, with no pupils visible, only ripples visible.

"True dragon bloodline, extremely nourishing."
