Chapter 1499 - White Dragon Bone Lake
The dazzling blade ray made everyone struggle to open their eyes, before they were all devoured by the spatial crack, unable to even respond in time. When they came to their senses, they appeared in a dusky space, and the surroundings were covered in flowing water.
In the center was a stage with an old man seated on it. But they could be sure that this old man wasnât the same person who was in the painting, and that this person had died long ago. The corpse didnât give any feeling of decay. Instead, it exuded an aura that made the three feel suffocating, and it was a dragon aura.
As a terrifying dragon aura swept out from that corpse, it gave them the feeling that the corpse would open its eyes at any second. Lin Yunâs aura was entirely suppressed, making him feel terrible. Xiao Yun and An Liuyan were calmer when compared to him and didnât feel much pressure.
This placed Lin Yun in doubt, but he didnât say a word because this didnât seem to be that simple. When he looked around, he could see starlight in the surrounding air, which were from all of the dissolved saint elixirs.
âSo all of them came here.â Xiao Yun muttered unhappily. After all, he had lost all the saint elixirs before he could rejoice, and he wouldnât be trapped in this weird place if he didnât chase after the dissolved saint elixirs.
Mhm? Lin Yun swept his gaze over and saw a white dragon in the lake. White Dragons were one of the seven-colored dragons.
âWhich divine dragon is the strongest amongst the seven-colored dragons?â Lin Yun asked. Pure-blooded dragons were divided into hybrid dragons, true dragons, divine dragons, and heaven dragons.
Hybrid dragons were the weakest amongst all dragons, and the strength of their bloodlines also varied. Those with powerful bloodlines could be comparable to true dragons, such as Jiao-Dragons, and the weakest could be neglected to the point that they could barely be considered a dragon.
True dragons were stronger because there were Azure Dragons, Lightning Dragons, and Wyverns. They all belonged to the category of true dragons.đđ§eđđ¸đđnoνđđĄ.đđđ˘
Divine dragons were next, and they were also commonly known as seven-colored dragons. They were the gold, white, indigo, red, blue, green, and black dragons.
As for heavenly dragons, they could be called sovereign dragons.
âThe difference between the seven-colored dragons isnât much different. But if you ask me, the golden dragons are the strongest.â An Liuyan said calmly. She came from a prominent family and naturally knew many secrets that most people have never heard of.
âHa!â Xiao Yun sneered. âWhy do I hear that the blue dragon is the strongest?â
âThere are people in the Divine Dragon Empire who have awakened the bloodline of the other divine dragons. As for the blue dragon, no one has seen it before, and there arenât any records about it in the ancient books.â An Liuyan said.
Hearing that, Xiao Yun merely smiled, but he didnât argue with An Liuyan. He looked at Lin Yun and smiled, âBrother Lin, why are you suddenly asking about it?â
âWell, there might be a divine white dragon bone within the lake. This is only a speculation because I saw a dragon in the lake.â Lin Yun replied.
âDivine White Dragon Bone?â Xiao Yunâs face changed, and he quickly brought out the Profound Yin Saint Eyes. Four crimson pupils appeared in his original pupil, but didnât stop increasing until it reached seven. There was also a saint rune in the depths of his pupils that had intertwined and formed a profound picture.
Under his Profound Yin Saint Eyes, the lake gradually became invisible in his eyes, and he could see a dragon bone at the bottom of the lake emitting a white glow. Occasionally, a white dragon would fly out from the bone and look as though it was alive.
Xiao Yun recalled the Profound Yin Saint Eyes, and said, âItâs really a Divine White Dragon Bone! This must be the White Dragon Palace, but this bone doesnât mean much to me. Which of you wants it? I think Envoy An is suitable for it.â
An Liuyanâs face became shocked when she heard that. After all, the seven demonic sects joined forces wanting to obtain divine dragon bones, and she didnât think they would find one here. What Xiao Yun said wasnât wrong because a Divine White Dragon Bone really meant a lot to an ice-attributed cultivator like her, but she didnât make a move.
Lin Yun didnât move either, since they both had a tacit understanding, and their eyes simultaneously fell on Xiao Yun. After all, Xiao Yun had an unusual obsession with treasures, and they couldnât believe that Xiao Yun would give up on a divine dragon bone.
âWhy are you two looking at me? I really donât need this Divine White Dragon Bone. I believe Envoy An wonât be stingy after getting it.â Xiao Yun smiled.
âThatâs for sure.â An Liuyan replied.
âAll three of us have our secrets, so letâs not hide them from each other now that weâve come this far. Xiao Yun, you might as well tell us what youâve discovered.â Lin Yun said after a brief pondering.
Xiao Yunâs face changed as he fell into silence. As his smile disappeared, his gaze fell onto An Liuyan, âAlright, Iâll be honest, then. I can trust you, but I donât trust you. Moreover, I donât need the Divine White Dragon Bone, and itâs fair to give it to whoever needs it.â
âYou should have been acquainted with An Liuyan earlier than me. So why do you trust me and not her?â Lin Yunâs eyes flickered, pointing out the key point. They were having a slight discord before a precious treasure, and Xiao Yun probably discovered something.
âYou donât have to care about that. Women are troublesome, especially a gorgeous woman like Envoy An. Not to mention that Envoy An isnât just an envoy of the Heavenly Astral Pavilion. So how can I trust her? I believe Envoy An wonât mind it.â Xiao Yun smiled.
An Liuyan wasnât bothered by what Xiao Yun said. Xiao Yun was just someone she had invited over, and they were just using each other. They werenât close enough that they could put their lives in the hands of each other.
They could join forces for normal treasures like saint elixirs and saint fruits, but something like the Divine Dragon Bone was different. Not to mention that Xiao Yun wouldnât flip the table upon discovering something, but he wasnât willing to tell them that.
Shaking his head, Lin Yun planned to look at the lake with his Aurora Dragon Eyes. The Aurora Dragon Pupils could see through all illusions. Since the Profound Yin Saint Eyes could notice something, he believed that his Aurora Dragon Pupils could do the same as well.
âDonât use it again. Iâm afraid that youâll really become blind.â An Liuyan stopped Lin Yun.
Hearing what she said, Lin Yun obliged because he wasnât sure of the side effects if he used the Aurora Dragon Pupils again.
âSince Iâm the one who needs the Divine White Dragon Bone, Iâll be the one to retrieve it, then.â An Liuyan said.
The divine dragon bone that Lin Yun needed had to possess wind and lightning attributes. So the ice-attributed Divine White Dragon Bone wasnât suitable for him.
âLet me do it.â Lin Yun pulled An Liuyan to his back. He had a lot of trump cards, and he was confident that it was a lot more than An Liuyan. Xiao Yun couldnât trust An Liuyan, but Lin Yun could.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have wasted a seal of the Profound Wither Key for her. Since he decided to trust her, he would trust her till the end. Tapping his foot on the ground, Lin Yun turned into a streak of light and flew towards the lake. His speed was so fast that it didnât give An Liuyan and Xiao Yun any time to respond.
âHey!â
âDonât!â The two exclaimed, but it was already too late.
Just before Lin Yun was about to enter the pool, the eyes of the corpse suddenly opened, and the dragon aura within the corpse exploded forth with crackling lightning surging within its pupils. With a flick of his wrist, a purple-golden dragon umbrella flew out from his sleeve, and his voice resounded, âAnyone who wants to enter the lake will have to undergo my test.â
Wielding the umbrella, the old man charged over. Lin Yun also noticed that the aura the old man released was roughly similar to his, and the main threat wasnât from the old manâs dragon aura, but the umbrella he was wielding. It was a saint artifact of the dragon clan and had a terrifying origin.
The umbrella was heavier than Lin Yun had imagined, and just waving it alone was enough to let ripples spread out in the air. When lightning was about to envelop him, Lin Yun's space suddenly became heavy. The effects of the old manâs attack were similar to his Earth Sword Form.
Then again, the profundity contained within it was different. The Earth Sword Formâs core effect lied in the overlap of seventy-two times gravity, and the gravitational increase from the old man came from the umbrella.
When Lin Yun drew his sword, he could barely face the old man. An Liuyan and Xiao Yun quickly rushed over, wanting to help. But they were heavily knocked away by the dragon aura. They groaned whlie taking several steps back after landing on the ground.
Xiao Yun looked at the old man for a long time before he bitterly smiled, âBrother Lin is an honest person.â
An Liuyanâs face was cold when she looked at Xiao Yun, and coldly said, âIf anything happens to him, I can guarantee that you wonât take a step out of this astral realm, no matter who you are!â
Xiao Yun could feel a chill running down his spine, and this made him depressed because he didnât do anything.
Ten moves later, the old man knocked Lin Yunâs sword away with his umbrella and thrust it at Lin Yunâs chest. This scene made An Liuyan and Xiao Yun exclaim before lightning exploded and a dragon coiled around Lin Yun and the old man.
No one could see what was going on inside, but they could feel the power of that attack because it made the entire cave tremble. This made An Liuyanâs face change with deep worry in her eyes.
âBrother Lin will be fine, rightâŚâ Xiao Yun muttered. But before he could finish, he could feel a chill down his spine as An Liuyn turned to coldly look at him. This instantly made him smile awkwardly, and he quickly shut his mouth.
When the burst of lightning disappeared, the dragon disappeared, and Lin Yun was revealed, donning an armor. The armor was like flowing liquid, glowing with golden lightning and dragon runes surging in the liquid. This was the Azure Dragon Saint Armor that was formed from eight thousand dragon runes.
When the old man looked at Lin Yun, he dissipated like sand. He was a dead person and guarded this place because of his obsession with his responsibility to guard the lake.
When the umbrella descended, a suction force exploded from the lake and swallowed Lin Yun into it. This made An Liuyan feel relieved and her emotions had nearly collapsed.
As for the umbrella that landed on the ground, it flew to Xiao Yunâs hand. When he examined the umbrella, he was shocked and exclaimed, âThis is actually a glory saint artifact! Brother Lin is really fortunate that the dead canât use the full power of this umbrella!â
An Liuyanâs brow twitched when Xiao Yun mentioned âglory saint artifactâ. But she didnât look at the umbrella, her attention was on Lin Yun, who was sinking into the lake.
