Chapter 6 The Dragon Clan Arrives, Hengyang Golden Drum
Just as Fuxi said before, the Dragon Clan's development has gradually entered a period of stagnation in recent years due to the imperfection of the Dragon Ancestor's true nature.
Although the Dragon Clan has four Dragon Kings who have obtained the true nature of the Dragon Ancestor, the Dragon Clan cannot call themselves true dragons unless they have been recognized by the original Dragon Ancestor. The strength of the four Dragon Kings is also influenced and restricted by the Dragon Emperor Fuxi.
There is only one true dragon in the primordial world today, and that is Fuxi. As long as Fuxi does not recognize it, the dragon race created by the four dragon kings may be overthrown by Fuxi at any time.
Fuxi is the primordial dragon ancestor. If Fuxi so desires, even if he creates a mouse and claims it is a true dragon, then that mouse is a true dragon, and the dragon's fortune and concept that have gathered on the dragon race will instantly collapse.
This is why the dragon race is in such a hurry to find Fuxi. Before gaining the approval of the original dragon ancestor, the seemingly powerful dragon race could easily fall into the abyss.
Of the three true dragons that came to find Fuxi, the leader was a molten dragon with a dark red body, covered in heavy lava armor, and crimson eyes.
The powerful dragon body, thousands of feet long, forcibly collapsed space, achieving a speed of movement that was almost instantaneous.
This molten dragon has reached the Golden Immortal realm, which is already in the top tier in the current prehistoric world. Even Fuxi and Nuwa are only at the Golden Immortal realm.
Behind the Molten Dragon, two crimson-scaled, scarlet-maned dragons with vermilion eyes and fiery bodies followed, flying continuously toward the location they sensed belonged to the true nature of the Dragon Ancestor.
Although these two crimson dragons were only at the True Immortal realm, far inferior to the Molten Dragon, the bloodline strength of these two crimson dragons was much stronger than that of the leading Molten Dragon. They faintly possessed the aura of the Dragon King, and should be descendants of the Dragon King, the Primordial Azure Dragon.
Not long after the birth of the dragon race, the Yellow Dragon King researched the secondary sublimation of the dragon bloodline and created the True Dragon Rank Chart, which divided the dragon bloodline into nine ranks: Dragon Descendant, Divine Dragon, True Dragon, Pureblood True Dragon, Primordial Azure Dragon, Dragon King, Dragon Emperor, Dragon Ancestor, and Ancestral Dragon.
Among the nine ranks, Dragonborn represents other races that possess the bloodline of true dragons; anyone with dragon blood in their body can be called a Dragonborn.
The dragon represents the dragon race, whose bloodline is dominant, that is, beings who identify as dragons in terms of bloodline and consciousness.
A true dragon represents a dragon race whose bloodline has absorbed the bloodlines of other races and integrated its own bloodline. Only such a dragon race is qualified to be called a dragon.
Pureblood dragons are innate dragons whose bloodline has undergone a second sublimation, cleansing away all impurities and reversing the natural order to return to the innate state. They are equal to innate beings and are among the most talented innate beings, comparable to Hao Ying, Zhu Xiang, and the other five under Fu Xi.
The Primordial Azure Dragon is a dragon whose bloodline has reached its peak, connecting with the laws of heaven and earth, and faintly possessing the aura of an innate god or demon. It is either a direct descendant of the Dragon King, inheriting a trace of the true nature of the Dragon Ancestor within the Dragon King's body, and can also be called the Primordial Azure Dragon.
The Dragon King is the true dragon king whose bloodline suppresses all races in a region of water, and whose bloodline strength is comparable to that of innate gods and demons. In the current primordial world, only dragons who have inherited the true nature of the Dragon Ancestor have the possibility of transforming into Dragon Kings.
The seventy percent of the Dragon Ancestor's true nature that Fuxi separated from the dragon race created the four Dragon Kings of today: the Yellow Dragon King, the Red Dragon King, the Black Dragon King, and the White Dragon King.
The Dragon Emperor is the one who completely reverses his own bloodline to become the true nature of the Dragon Ancestor, and can create a dragon bloodline at will. Fuxi, who possesses 20% of the true nature of the Dragon Ancestor and the original status of the Dragon Ancestor, is the only Dragon Emperor in the primordial world.
The Dragon Ancestor is the first ancestor of dragons who can evolve the true nature of the Dragon Ancestor and freely evolve into the Dragon Emperor and Dragon King. Before Fuxi separated his true nature of the Dragon Ancestor, he could be called the Dragon Ancestor.
Now, Fuxi no longer possesses the full true nature of the Dragon Ancestor. Even if he undergoes a transformation, he cannot become the Dragon Ancestor. At most, he can only become a Dragon Emperor. Of course, Fuxi had already anticipated this.
If Fuxi were merely a Dragon Emperor, the Dragon Clan might have a one percent chance of accepting him. But if he were to transform into a Dragon Ancestor, the Dragon Clan would certainly not want an outsider sitting on their head.
As for the final Ancestral Dragon, it was the gestator and creator of the concept of dragon in an eternal world. In the primordial world, the Ancestral Dragon was the incarnation of Pangu, Taiyuan. Perhaps it can be said that the Ancestral Dragon of the primordial world was Pangu.
"Elder Chi Li, this person can be said to be the only Dragon Emperor in the current primordial world. If this person returns to the East Sea with us, does Father and the others have to submit to this outsider? Or do Father and the others want to...?"
A soft female voice came from the mouth of the red dragon on the left. Feeling the retreat and turmoil of the true dragon bloodline within her body, Chi Xi's tone revealed a hint of worry.
"That goes without saying. The Dragon Clan was created and expanded by Father and three other adults, which is why it has the grandeur it has today."
"Although this person has used the true nature of the Dragon Ancestor, he has never made any contribution to the growth of my dragon race. How can he become the Dragon Emperor of my dragon race and be above my father and others?"
"If this person is willing to return to the Dragon Clan, then perhaps Father and the others can spare his life and allow him to become a Azure Dragon in our Dragon Clan."
"If this person is unwilling, Elder Chi Li still possesses the Hengyang Golden Drum, a supreme treasure bestowed upon him by his father. More than a dozen innate gods and demons have died under this golden drum, so it wouldn't matter if one more is added."
The red dragon on the right spoke in a relaxed tone, its roar echoing through the air. Its four claws trod on fiery clouds as it looked at the golden light shimmering beneath the dark red dragon's chin, a fervent glint in its eyes.
"If you're so confident, I should have backed out and let you do it yourself. I don't have as much confidence as you."
A bitter smile crept across Elder Chi Li's face as he looked at the molten dragon standing before the two crimson dragons.
Behind him, Chi Xi and Chi Yin were descendants of the Crimson Dragon King Zhu Hao, born ancient azure dragons. They were usually well protected, so they did not know what possessing this primordial dragon ancestor meant to the dragon race.
Without this person's approval, their dragon race is considered a false dragon and will be unable to advance further.
As the original Dragon Ancestor, even though the true nature of the Dragon Ancestor was accidentally split and collapsed later, he still retained at least a part of the true nature of the Dragon Ancestor. In addition, given the status of the original Dragon Ancestor, the person he is about to meet is at least at the level of the current four Dragon Kings of the Dragon Clan.
Originally, the Dragon Clan wanted a Dragon King to personally bring back the person who possessed the true nature of the Dragon Ancestor. However, based on the aura sensed in the Dragon Clan's bloodline, this person's cultivation level should be at the early stage of Golden Immortal. This made the Dragon Clan underestimate Fuxi, and they only sent Chi Li, a clansman at the late stage of Golden Immortal.
Even if Chi Li had the Hengyang Golden Drum that the Crimson Dragon King had temporarily given him, he was only 50% confident of victory if a fight broke out.
However, Chi Li could not voice this thought. As a pure-blooded true dragon personally raised by the Crimson Dragon King, Chi Li had to maintain the Dragon King's dignity at all times, which was the politically correct thing to do within the dragon race.
The distance between the three true dragons from the East Sea and Fuxi was getting closer and closer, and Chi Xi felt a little worried about the impending conflict.
Chi Yin was filled with anticipation, looking forward to witnessing the unparalleled power of Hengyang Golden Drum in its rampage.
Chi Li was somewhat uneasy. He knew that he was about to face the Dragon Emperor, whose bloodline strength even surpassed that of the Crimson Dragon King. His own cultivation was at the late stage of Golden Immortal, while his opponent was at the early stage of Golden Immortal. He had an absolute advantage in cultivation.
However, Chi Li was also worried that the opponent might possess a high-quality innate spiritual treasure or an acquired supreme treasure. If the opponent had a superior innate spiritual treasure or an acquired supreme treasure, then he wouldn't need to fight this battle.
However, Chi Li possesses the Hengyang Golden Drum of the Crimson Dragon King, and he is confident that he can protect himself and Chi Xi and Chi Yin behind him.
The Hengyang Golden Drum is a top-tier acquired treasure with immense power. With the Hengyang Golden Drum, Chi Li was even confident that he could hold his own against the four Dragon Kings, who were at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, for a period of time.
Chi Li and the other two flew towards the true nature of the Dragon Ancestor that they sensed in their bloodlines. Above them, Fuxi watched them with a leisurely air, his eyes filled with a deep blue dragon aura that surged like clouds, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"The dragon race hasn't even prospered yet, and they're already so arrogant? It seems we'll need to work on tempering their character."
As early as when Chi Li and the other two were exchanging ideas, Fuxi had already completed the transformation of his own bloodline. Fuxi had deduced this plan hundreds of times, so it was naturally a piece of cake for him.
With 20% of the true essence of the Dragon Ancestor and the identity of the Primordial Dragon Ancestor, Fuxi has transformed into the only Dragon Emperor in the vast primordial world, a supreme being that surpasses the four Dragon Kings of the East Sea.
With the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor as its source, Fuxi could easily perceive the exact location of all the dragons in the primordial world. The five origins of the true spirit that Fuxi created also allowed him to directly read the thoughts in the hearts of Cang Li and the other two.
"Be careful, we're almost there. The opponent is the Dragon Emperor, so he must also possess formidable combat power. You two should observe from the sidelines for now. Don't make a move unless I give the order."
Cang Li felt the intense boiling of his bloodline, his mind was completely focused, his eyes were filled with fiery energy, his dark red dragon scales opened, and the surging fire clouds spread in all directions.
Behind Chi Li, Chi Xi looked somewhat nervous. They were about to face a Dragon Emperor who was even superior to their father in terms of bloodline rank, which put considerable pressure on Chi Xi.
Chi Yin, however, was completely unconcerned. He did not believe that his side would lose. Having witnessed the power of his father, the Crimson Dragon King, Chi Yin did not believe that Chi Li, who held the Hengyang Golden Drum, would lose to a lucky person who could not preserve the true nature of the Dragon Ancestor.
My head is a little itchy.
The crimson dragon's horns shone brightly, extinguishing some of the primordial energy and spiritual energy that clung to them. However, even so, he still felt something strange on his dragon head, as if something was above him.
