The existence of two kinds of flames on one person's body would shock anyone who knew about it, because even the legendary powerful gods of the fifth level could not do that.
When they thought of this, they felt more and more that Xiao Yan was really extraordinary. To these highly experienced gods of the Ancestral Dragon Clan, this boy must have some unknown secrets.
They were also guessing about Xiao Yan's true identity. How could a creature from a lower-level world be so stunning? There was only one possibility, that is, Xiao Yan's identity was extremely unusual.
Therefore, they provided some rare and powerful resources of the Ancestral Dragon Clan to Xiao Yan for cultivation. If he could really obtain guidance from the souls of his ancestors in the Ancestral Dragon Tomb, then Xiao Yan’s soul cultivation would definitely reach a higher level!
Of course, being able to break through to the divine realm soul is not only what Xiao Yan hopes for, but all the divine beasts of the Ancestral Dragon Clan also hope that Xiao Yan can break through!
Only in this way can we resolve the crisis of the Heart of All Beasts being devoured by the divine fire that split the seal!
Chapter 781: A New Transformation Begins
After all, after millions of years, the power of the divine fire is no longer what it used to be. In order to break the seal, it directly devours and absorbs the essence of the beast hearts in the hearts of all beasts. It is because of this that the foundation of the Ancestral Dragon Clan has not increased significantly.
This is the Achilles' heyday of the Ancestral Dragon Clan. If the Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts had not been devoured by the Divine Fire, their Ancestral Dragon Clan would have reached its peak. This is also true for the Divine Dragon Clan and the Holy Dragon Clan.
Because their Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts was also devoured by the divine fire. Otherwise, with the ambition of the Divine Dragon Clan, they would have already taken action against the Ancestral Dragon Clan and completely eliminated them from the Ten Thousand Beasts Divine Realm. The reason they are slow to take action now may be because of the Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts.
So after seeing Xiao Yan's attainments in fire, they decided to train this truly powerful man with great potential for the future.
Although the divine fire is a sacred object of the universe, every powerful god covets it, but they know very well that if they try to conquer it by force, the result will be the same: playing with fire and getting burned.
The Fire God origin of the divine fire is too powerful and overbearing. Even the three dragons of the three fourth-level gods cannot resist it. This is enough to show how terrifying the power of this fire from the sky is!
Moreover, these powerful divine beasts are basically afraid of the power of the divine fire, because it is not only the divine fire that can make the divine beasts stronger, their strength all comes from the Heart of All Beasts. Only by solving the problem of the Heart of All Beasts, the strength of these powerful divine beasts will be improved.
Therefore, the divine fire is a danger to all the powerful divine beasts in the world of all beasts, and it is definitely a huge threat to them!
However, for those powerful gods outside the Ten Thousand Beasts Divine Realm, the divine fire is a divine object that they are determined to obtain and fight for. Some powerful gods even forcibly subdue and devour the divine fire in order to obtain the power of the divine fire.
So as expected, the powerful god who swallowed the divine fire was completely burned to ashes, and even his body and soul were burned to nothingness.
However, faced with such a domineering and terrifying divine fire, most of the gods still covet the divine fire in order to obtain its power.
It is not difficult to see that after Xiao Yan obtained the Illusionary Divine Fire, not only did his own strength break through from the strongest overlord to a god, but he also defeated the first-sequence god Xiantian God with the strength of a third-sequence god, and tied with Li Long, who was at the peak of the first-sequence god.
This is only the Illusionary Divine Fire, which ranks ninth among the Nine Divine Fires. If it were any of the higher ranked divine fires, their power would be even more unimaginable.
If Xiao Yan could really subdue the divine fire in the hearts of all beasts, then it would be the best for the entire Ancestral Dragon Clan. Perhaps their strength would be improved to a higher level as a result.
However, in order to increase Xiao Yan's chances of subduing the divine fire in the hearts of all beasts, the great chief of the Ancestral Dragon Clan also decided to let Xiao Yan enter the Ancestral Dragon Tomb to obtain the soul origin of the ancestral soul, so that his soul cultivation can break through to the divine realm soul.
Only a soul that has reached the divine realm can have the power to resist the divine fire. Otherwise, with Xiao Yan's strength as a third-order god, he might soon be devoured by the divine fire.
Moreover, the divine fire that was suppressed and sealed in the hearts of all beasts has absorbed the essence of the beast hearts. Its fire god essence is probably even more powerful. Only by improving the soul cultivation to the divine realm, which is the highest realm of soul cultivation, can we contend with the fire god essence released by the divine fire.
“Little brother Xiao Yan, there’s no need to be so polite. You and our Ancestral Dragon Clan have a destiny. When you become a Heavenly God in the future, it will be the time for you to be appointed as the Ancestral Dragon. We hope that you can improve your soul cultivation in this Ancestral Dragon Tomb and eliminate the huge hidden danger in the Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts for us.” The great chief Shen of the Ancestral Dragon Clan placed all his hopes on Xiao Yan. When they heard Xiao Yan’s words, their hopes seemed like a heavy burden on them.
However, since the other party values me so much and cultivates me, I must do my best to endure it even if a huge burden is placed on me.
Although they did not allow Xiao Yan to say thank you, after he came to the Ancestral Dragon Clan, they devoted themselves to training Xiao Yan, so that Xiao Yan could successfully convince the people, break through to the Heavenly God, and be appointed the new Ancestral Dragon. Only in this way, their Ancestral Dragon Clan would be able to return to its former glory, or even surpass it.
Fulfill the greatest wish of Zulong and protect the Zulong clan!
Otherwise, with so many powerful divine beasts in the Ancestral Dragon Clan, some of them would think that Xiao Yan’s strength was too low and he could not be appointed as the Ancestral Dragon. At that time, considering the overall situation, even if several gods of the Ancestral Dragon Clan spoke well of Xiao Yan, they would not be able to convince the powerful divine beasts.
Therefore, for this purpose, several chief gods of the Ancestral Dragon Clan also made a decision and began to use their strength to intimidate the powerful gods of the Ancestral Dragon Clan. Secondly, with Xiao Yan's talent, once his soul power was enhanced in the Ancestral Dragon Tomb, their second step would be to let Xiao Yan solve the hidden danger of the Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts. If this hidden danger was truly solved, it would be impossible to refuse to convince the others.
Therefore, this is also a gamble made by several gods of the Ancestral Dragon Clan on Xiao Yan. If the bet is successful, both Xiao Yan and the Ancestral Dragon Clan will undergo a complete change and move towards glory. The Ancestral Dragon Clan will no longer be leaderless because the new Ancestral Dragon is undergoing transformation!
And he...is the Flame Emperor Xiao Yan!
“In three days, I will send someone to send you into the Ancestral Dragon Tomb. Whether you can obtain a powerful soul origin in it depends on your own ability.” The great chief also had expectations for Xiao Yan. When this extraordinary person came out of the Ancestral Dragon Tomb next time, he wondered whether his soul cultivation could break through to the divine realm.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan bowed to the several gods of the Ancestral Dragon Clan again and smiled at Bai Tan.
He thought that if he could successfully break through the divine realm this time, his alchemy skills would also be improved.
According to the classification of alchemists in the first-level world, Xiao Yan's alchemy skills might have reached the level of ninth-grade Medicine Immortal, and above the ninth-grade Medicine Immortal is the Medicine God!
Once one becomes the God of Medicine, he will be one of the best alchemists in the first-level world.
Wherever the alchemist who possesses the Medicine God goes, that place will be glorious, because the prestige and appeal from the Medicine God is enough to rival the existence of some super divine forces!
Therefore, no matter where they are, alchemists are extremely popular. Some alchemists with extremely high alchemy skills will be invited by countless divine forces and super-divine forces. The conditions and rewards given are unimaginable.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior!" Xiao Yan was a little excited. His soul cultivation had been stagnant in the main realm for a long, long time. Today he finally had a good opportunity to improve his soul cultivation.
Chapter 782: Ancestral Dragon Tomb
Once his soul breaks through to the divine realm, Xiao Yan will be one step closer to the realm of a celestial god.
After the previous revenge at Tianshen Mountain, Xiao Yan's desire for greater power became particularly obvious.
“Lord Tianyi, just wait for me, I will repay you double in the future!” Xiao Yan clenched his fists slightly, a gleam of surprise flashed in his eyes, and there was an extremely strong murderous intent.
“Alright, now little brother Xiao Yan, take a good rest. We’ll see you at the Ancestral Dragon’s Tomb in three days!” With that, several gods of the Ancestral Dragon Clan stood up, smiled at Xiao Yan, and finally disappeared at the top of the back mountain.
Xiao Yan and Bai Tan were left behind. Seeing the departure of several gods, Bai Tan hurriedly asked, "Brother Xiao Yan, we are very optimistic about you at the Ancestral Dragon Tomb in three days."
"Haha, I'll do my best!"
The two chatted and laughed at the top of the back mountain, and drank all the wine on the table. Finally, under the influence of alcohol, Xiao Yan felt that his body was somewhat out of control, but for a god, this little alcohol had no effect. As long as he activated his divine power a little, the alcohol in his body could evaporate instantly.
.........
Three days passed quietly, and today was the day that Xiao Yan would enter the Ancestral Dragon Tomb. Not only was Xiao Yan looking forward to this moment, but so were the other powerful divine beasts of the Ancestral Dragon Clan.
That's because the hidden danger of the Ancestral Dragon Clan's Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts has troubled them for a long time. Once the Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts is completely devoured by the divine fire, what awaits them is a disaster for the Ancestral Dragon Clan.
And only the person in front of him can solve this disaster. However, if he wants to solve it completely, the Ancestral Dragon Tomb is Xiao Yan’s first step to improve his soul realm.
In the early morning of that day, Xiao Yan, led by several godsons and core powerhouses of the Ancestral Dragon Clan, came to a huge building where many powerful divine beasts gathered.
Here, located in the deepest part of the northern part of the Zulong tribe, stands a huge building.
This huge building stands in mid-air, with its back against the mountainside. It is shaded by ancient trees on all sides and looks very ethereal. The gurgling spring water flows underneath, making it look even more quiet and pure against the backdrop of the night.
Different from other buildings of the Zulong clan, it is built with stone, a kind of stone with a purple metallic luster, solid yet a sense of agility.
This is the extremely rare purple star ore. Its storage quantity is very small, but it has a very good effect on the preservation and transmission of soul power.
“This huge building is the Ancestral Dragon Tomb. It was built by the ancestors of the Ancestral Dragon Clan who accidentally obtained a purple star mineral vein. They spent a lot of effort to build this Ancestral Dragon Tomb.” At this time, the great chief of the Ancestral Dragon Clan introduced it softly to Xiao Yan, his tone revealing a pride that was hard to conceal.
“It is amazing that such a huge Ancestral Dragon Tomb was built with such rare stones. The Ancestral Dragon Clan’s ancestors must have been extremely powerful back then.” Xiao Yan looked up and couldn’t help but marvel at it.
Hearing this, the Medicine Clan leader of the Zulong Clan was also very proud, pointing to the hall and continuing to introduce: "This Zulong Tomb is the proud work of our Zulong ancestors. It is a great fortune for our Zulong Clan to have survived the ancient catastrophe."
"In the Ancestral Dragon Tomb, there are the soul imprints of the high-level Heavenly Gods of our clan throughout the generations. There are three levels in total, divided according to difficulty."
“Since that ancient catastrophe, our Ancestral Dragon Clan has been declining day by day, and there are fewer and fewer high-level Heavenly Gods, so the soul imprints that can be left in this Ancestral Dragon Tomb have also begun to decrease. I’m afraid that there are only a few soul imprints left in the first layer.”
The great god of the Ancestral Dragon Clan sighed and continued to introduce some of the situations in the Ancestral Dragon Tomb, saying: "Then the soul imprints on the second floor are basically at the peak of the main realm, because as the time of falling increases, their soul cultivation will gradually weaken."
"Some even have soul marks of only the early stage of the main realm, or even the peak of the saint realm. Brother Xiao Yan, your soul is currently only in the late stage of the main realm. You must not activate multiple soul marks at once, otherwise, you will be attacked by multiple soul marks."
"The soul marks of the third layer are all left by high-level celestial gods. They were originally divine souls, but no matter how powerful your divine soul is, after losing your divine body, if your divine soul is not restored and condensed into a physical body, the power of the divine soul will slowly disappear over such a long period of time, and it will fall to the level of a divine soul."
"The souls of the God Realm are completely different to you. The power of the souls of the God Realm is not as strong as the souls of the Main Realm. If you reach the third floor of the Ancestral Dragon Tomb, the soul marks there are either quasi-God Realm souls or God Realm souls, which will undoubtedly be relatively dangerous to you."
"Once you enter the third level, your sea of consciousness will be entered. Whether you can survive the tests of these Ancestral Dragon ancestors depends on yourself. If you cannot pass the tests, your soul will be left there. So do you still want to go in?" The great chief also explained very seriously at this moment, telling him the situation in the Ancestral Dragon Tomb one by one.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan also became interested in the Ancestral Dragon Tomb. The ancient catastrophe was able to cause the fall of many high-level celestial gods of the Ancestral Dragon Clan. No wonder that although the Ancestral Dragon Clan is now one of the three super divine beast clans in the Ten Thousand Beast God Realm, there are no powerful divine beasts of the fifth level among them. This must be the reason.
What shocked Xiao Yan was... what kind of battle was that ancient catastrophe? So many high-ranking gods were defeated one after another, what happened at that time!
Xiao Yan couldn't think of an answer to all the doubts in his mind. After all, he was not born in that period. Otherwise, he would probably have perished in the ancient catastrophe just like these dragon ancestors.
However, Xiao Yan did not ask much about the ancient catastrophe. After all, even if he knew it now, he could not change the outcome. When he became stronger in the future, he would naturally understand the truth behind the ancient catastrophe.
Xiao Yan nodded directly. Even if there were dangers in the Ancestral Dragon Tomb, he would choose to work hard and move forward. To become a true god-like powerful man, he did not retreat, but moved forward bravely!
Seeing Xiao Yan's answer, the Great Chieftain of the Ancestral Dragon Clan once again warned: "Remember, when you enter this Ancestral Dragon Tomb, you must stick to your original intention. All the fortunes in it depend on chance. Don't force it, otherwise you will be backfired by the soul power in it."
Xiao Yan bowed slightly to several gods of the Ancestral Dragon Clan to thank them for their kindness, then smiled slightly to Bai Tan and the other powerful divine beasts of the Ancestral Dragon Clan. Then he stepped on the wind and flew directly into the Ancestral Dragon Tomb.
Chapter 783 Eight Soul Marks
And as Xiao Yan's figure disappeared behind the gate of the Ancestral Dragon's Tomb, all the powerful divine beasts of the Ancestral Dragon Clan revealed a hint of anticipation.
Their expectation is that Xiao Yan will have the opportunity to break through to the divine realm with his soul power.
"Brother Xiao Yan, everything depends on you!" Bai Tan muttered to himself.
“Little brother Xiao Yan, your talent is truly rare. I hope everything goes well. The hidden dangers of the Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts will still depend on you in the future.” The great chief of the Ancestral Dragon Clan was looking towards the gate of the Ancestral Dragon Tomb, and placed all his hopes on Xiao Yan. After all, if even Lord Zulong likes this little guy, then naturally he will be very outstanding and will not disappoint anyone.
Not only the Great Chief God, but even the Second Chief God and the Third Chief God were very optimistic about Xiao Yan. When they saw the determination in Xiao Yan's eyes, they had great admiration for him.
.........
Inside Zulong’s tomb.
Xiao Yan did not find any soul mark on the first floor, so he chose the second floor directly. After pushing open the second floor door which was heavy beyond imagination, he looked around. The Ancestral Dragon Tomb was gray and empty. He could not see anything, nothing.
At this moment, Xiao Yan felt as if he was in an abandoned land. It was so desolate that he couldn't help but wonder if he had come to the wrong place. Is this the appearance of the Ancestral Dragon Tomb?
Moreover, as the gate of Zulong's tomb slowly closed, it seemed as if all connections with the outside world were cut off. The scene in front of me suddenly became pitch black, as black as thick ink, and it felt like I couldn't see my hand in front of me.
It seemed that in this Ancestral Dragon Tomb, all the light would be swallowed up by the special energy within it, and there was no light at all.
Generally speaking, although a god will be affected by the alternation of day and night, the impact is not very great, and it is even more impossible for him to become blind.
But now, Xiao Yan, as a god, one who has been tempered by the essence of the God of Fire and whose eyesight is better than that of ordinary gods, cannot even see the area more than three feet away. How can Xiao Yan not be frightened?
Xiao Yan was completely unprepared for this sudden change of situation. His body suddenly stiffened, and his right foot, which had just been raised, was suspended in mid-air. How could he dare to take a step forward?
"Could it be because I haven't adapted to the current situation for the time being?" Xiao Yan guessed secretly.
However, Xiao Yan quickly denied this speculation. Even if it was because he was not able to adapt for a moment, it was only a moment. But now a long time has passed, but the situation has not changed at all.
Then, Xiao Yan carefully put down his raised right foot and stood motionless behind the stone door, quietly waiting for any changes around him.
Xiao Yan also thought that there would be some lights on in this Ancestral Dragon Tomb, or there would be things like night pearls that could bring illumination to people's vision and soul.
At least it would make people feel a little more at ease in this unknown place, but the result was not the case. After a long time, the Zulong Tomb was still dark and silent, with only the sound of one's own heartbeat being particularly clear.
Xiao Yan's eyebrows slightly raised. He was very surprised by this and found it a little unbelievable. This made him feel more uneasy and incredible than the absence of light.
“I really doubt whether this is the Ancestral Dragon Tomb of the Ancestral Dragon Clan, or the Ancestral Dragon Clan’s place of exile.” Xiao Yan shook his head in confusion, with a wry smile on his face.
He vaguely felt that this place was quite strange and he had to adjust his mentality as soon as possible in order to deal with the unpredictable crises that might come.
