Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

The next day, Ye Wushuang and his three companions had all recovered.

Then, the four of them set off, heading for the Divine Communication Tower.

He estimated he had a considerable number of points now, and he was quite looking forward to the treasures in the Divine Communication Tower.

"Kid, when did you get your hands on the Sun Essence?"

The Dragon Cat’s voice rang out as they traveled.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang sent his Divine Sense into the Chaos Dragon Tomb. He saw that the Dragon Cat had entered the Chaos Dragon Tomb at some point and was staring intently at the fireball in the void.

Ye Wushuang asked calmly, "Is there a problem?"

"Kid, do you have any idea how heaven-defying the Sun Essence is?"

Seeing Ye Wushuang’s completely composed expression, the Dragon Cat was utterly speechless.

’Heaven-defying?’ The Dragon Cat’s words piqued Ye Wushuang’s curiosity. After all, the Chaos Dragon Tomb had nearly killed him in his fight to obtain this thing, but he hadn’t seen anything heaven-defying about it yet.

"Kid, the Sun Essence is the power of Origin Samadhi Fire, the Origin of the Fire of the Five Elements. It’s also a Supreme Divine Object, a foundation for building a world."

The Dragon Cat explained. But then, as if remembering something, it stared at Ye Wushuang and asked, "Wait, something’s not right. This thing shouldn’t even exist in the Grand Emperor Domain. How did you get it? Kid, where did you find it?"

Ye Wushuang replied, "I got it from a Flame Mountain. Legend says it was a fragment of the Old Lord’s Furnace, left behind by the Supreme Monarch, a Great Saint Sage from Ancient Times."

’Supreme Monarch, Old Lord’s Furnace? Isn’t he from the Divine Land... No, that’s not right. How can things from that place appear in the Grand Emperor Domain? And so many of them... Could there be some hidden secret?’

The Dragon Cat muttered, utterly bewildered. It was clear that even the supposedly omniscient and omnipotent Lord Cat was stumped by something.

Ye Wushuang frowned, not quite catching what the Dragon Cat was muttering. He asked, "Dead Cat, what’s this you’re saying about building a world?"

"That’s something you can’t comprehend yet. When your Cultivation gets stronger in the future, you’ll naturally understand. However, if you can obtain the Divine Objects of the Five Elements Origin and integrate them into the Chaos Space, this place will become a world... No, wait, this Chaos Space is too special. It should be able to become a universe."

As the Dragon Cat spoke, it glanced over with a face full of envy, its jealous gaze so intense it was afraid Ye Wushuang might not notice it.

This, however, left Ye Wushuang completely baffled.

"Kid, you’ve obtained the Sun Essence, and you also got the Sun Wheel Origin from the Divine Hall. As your strength increases and this space evolves, it can transform into a sun. If you manage to get the other Divine Objects one day, you can evolve a complete universe of the Five Elements. The benefits of that... you can’t even begin to imagine."

The more it spoke, the more fervent the Dragon Cat’s envious gaze became.

But how could it know of the speechlessness in Ye Wushuang’s heart? ’Evolving into a universe? Just how heaven-defying is that?’

’Can something like that really happen to a person?’

Ye Wushuang found it hard to believe.

Besides, there was no guarantee he could even find the other Divine Objects.

Moreover, he wasn’t sure if the Dragon Tomb was an opportunity or a fatal crisis for him. If he went through all the trouble of finding everything only to be making a wedding dress for another—that was not an outcome Ye Wushuang wanted.

The Dragon Tomb was too mysterious, and the crises it hid were impossible to guard against.

Ye Wushuang was worried.

Seeing the look on Ye Wushuang’s face, the Dragon Cat’s eyes darted as it said, "Kid, are you worried about the Dragon Tomb?"

At these words, Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the Dragon Cat.

"Kid, Lord Cat may not know what crises lie ahead, but for now, at least, this is all beneficial and harmless to you. It’s buying you time."

"You’ve also chanced upon the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body. Once you’ve matured, you can just slap away any threat. Don’t let this affect your Dao Heart," the Dragon Cat said with rare seriousness.

The two words "Dao Heart" were like a sharp blow to the head, instantly pulling Ye Wushuang out of the mire of anxiety about the Chaos Dragon Tomb’s dangers.

’The Path of Invincibility means having an invincible Dao Heart and invincible faith. It means charging forward in the face of danger. How could I let myself be intimidated by an unknown crisis?’ 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

At this thought, Ye Wushuang’s gaze became resolute.

"Hehehe!" Seeing that Ye Wushuang had come to his senses, the Dragon Cat’s shifty eyes darted. "Kid, see how much brainpower Lord Cat used to enlighten you? How about you give Lord Cat half of that Ancestral Blood so I can have a taste and replenish my energy?"

’Replenish my energy?’

Hearing this, the corner of Ye Wushuang’s mouth twitched violently, and his fists clenched with an audible CRACK.

This scamming cat!

He’d thought the creature was being kind, but who knew its mind was just full of schemes?

All that talk was just for the Ancestral Blood!

Ye Wushuang gave a cold smile and looked at it. "Dead Cat, I really should thank you for what you just said."

"Mhm, mhm." The Dragon Cat nodded, looking at Ye Wushuang very seriously, as if to say, ’So you do have a conscience, kid.’

It then extended a paw, waiting for Ye Wushuang’s conscience to kick in and give it half the Ancestral Blood.

Ye Wushuang was very straightforward. He took out a Jade Box and handed it over, saying, "You’ve been eating too much lately. A change of pace would be nice."

"Mhm, mhm, you’re so thoughtful, kid."

The Dragon Cat nodded in satisfaction and took it.

With that said, Ye Wushuang’s Divine Sense withdrew from the Chaos Space.

Seeing Ye Wushuang leave, the Dragon Cat excitedly opened the Jade Box. "GWAKAKA, that damn kid. The Ancestral Blood still ended up in Lord Cat’s paws."

But the next moment, it was dumbfounded.

The Jade Box Ye Wushuang had handed over with such solemnity didn’t contain any Ancestral Blood. It was a... Spirit Stone. And a Low Grade one at that!

"You damned kid! Lord Cat will fight you to the death!"

Instantly, a heart-wrenching, furious roar echoed throughout the Chaos Space.

Ye Wushuang, however, acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing and continued speeding toward the Divine Communication Tower in the center of the great plains.

Viewed from afar, the Divine Communication Tower looked like an ordinary ancient pagoda.

But when he drew closer, Ye Wushuang discovered that the Divine Communication Tower was immense.

Its base covered an unknown area, likely a hundred li in circumference, and it soared ninety-nine stories high. Like a pillar holding up the heavens, it pierced the firmament, giving the impression that one could touch the very sky by reaching its peak.

It was utterly breathtaking!

When Ye Wushuang’s group of four appeared beside the Divine Communication Tower, they were all completely stunned. This was no longer just a tower.

Next to the massive tower, the crowd of people looked like ants; they were simply too small.

Ye Rou and Qianling’s mouths were agape, forming little "O"s.

At this moment, the area around the Divine Communication Tower was teeming with people—a veritable sea of faces, even more than they had seen at the Celestial Abyss.

Among them were not just a few factions. Besides the groups Ye Wushuang was familiar with, like the Ancient Spirit Sect, the Celestial Sword Sect, the Feather Race, and the Illusion Race, there were countless other powers as well.

The terrifying strength of some of these individuals was utterly horrifying.

"How did so many factions pop up all of a sudden?"

Ye Wushuang found it hard to believe. ’Weren’t there only a dozen or so factions before? Why are there so many more now?’

Hearing this, Qianling, who seemed to know something, immediately explained, "Junior Brother, you may not be aware, but the Earth Palace is vast. The place we were training in before was just the eastern section, primarily occupied by factions from the Ancient Spirit Mountain Range. Some Hidden Ancient Races and powers left over from Ancient Times entered from other directions, including some from beyond the Endless Wilderness."

"Hidden Clans?"

"Powers left over from Ancient Times?"

Suddenly hearing all this, Ye Wushuang had the faint feeling that what he had seen before was only the tip of the iceberg.
