When Long Shuijing heard the familiar voice, Long Shuijing turned around immediately and saw a figure in white coming her way.
It was the Heavenly Sword of Central Heaven Universe, Chu Kuangren.
"Heavenly Sword… I mean, Chu Kuangren. What are you doing here?" Long Shuijing was rather surprised.
"Don't forget who gave you the Heavenly Rainbow Dragon Bloodline," he said.
Long Shuijing pondered. Chu Kuangren was the one who gave her the Heavenly Rainbow Dragon Bloodline, and he seemed to be related to the dragons.
"Are you here for the Dragon Tombs?"
"Yes."
Chu Kuangren nodded. Then, he looked at the bodies on the ground, and his eyes narrowed.
"The Dragon Hunters, huh? How interesting. The dragons almost annihilated all of them back then, but here they are again."
The Dragon Tribe and the Dragon Hunters were arch-nemesis.
Now that the Dragon Tombs had opened, the dragons across the Infiniverse would gather. The addition of the Dragon Hunters would make things interesting.
"Chu Kuangren, I heard you founded Pan Gu Sect." Long Shuijing started the conversation with the first topic that popped up in her mind.
Chu Kuangren nodded. "I did. Do you want to join us? Since you were one of the Heavenly Roundtable members, I'll make an exception for you."
Te had founded the Heavenly Roundtable in the Central Heaven Universe to counter the invasion.
However, after the revelation of his true ident.i.ty and the loss of the Central Heaven Universe, things became unpleasant. With his capabilities, it was not difficult for him to regain control of the Heavenly Roundtable.
There were quite some talented cultivators, such as Luo Xue, Tianxing Cai, Heaven Maiden You, and more.
Of course, that was if they could see through the past and serve him again.
"I'll consider it."
To his surprise, Long Shuijing nodded instead of rejecting his offer.
She seemed to be considering Chu Kuangren's invitation.
After that, they partied up and headed to the Dragon Tombs together.
On the way, they ran into other dragons and many other Dragon Hunters on the move.
Some engaged them in a fight, but all of them were beaten off by Chu Kuangren.
Surprisingly, they did not meet Shang Honghua or Elder Dragon Huang along the way.
Perhaps they were already inside the Dragon Tombs.
Soon, Chu Kuangren and Long Shuijing arrived at the Dragon Tombs.
It was actually a ma.s.sive dragon head floating in the sky, formed by countless spiritual energies and Daoist laws.
Unlike the other dragons Chu Kuangren had seen, that dragon's head had a human face. It was crimson, and its eyes were tightly shut.
At its mouth was a ma.s.sive golden spiral that emanated a powerful dragon qi from within.
"Is that the… Infernal Dragon?"
When Chu Kuangren laid eyes on the dragon's head, the Infernal Dragon's energy in him started to resonate.
The Infernal Dragon was said to be the origin of the dragons across the Infiniverse.
The first Infernal Dragon was known as the Origin Infernal Dragon, one of the oldest beings in the Infiniverse, and it possessed unimaginable power.
"Let's go in and have a look."
There was not much of a defense outside the Dragon Tombs, simply because it was not needed.
The Dragon Tombs was a mystical place. Other than dragons and people with the dragon's power, not even a Monarch could enter.
When Chu Kuangren entered the Dragon Tombs, he sensed a certain energy scanning his body as if it was trying to expel him.
Then, the Infernal Dragon energy inside him shook and removed the odd sensation.
When the two of them entered the Dragon Tombs, the first thing they saw was a vast starry sky.
Countless dragon corpses were floating under the starry sky. Besides the common Five Ways Dragons, there were Crystal Dragons, Black Dragons, Winged Dragons, and many others.
The corpses glimmered in Immortal Sparks like stars brightening the sky.
A vast dragon qi filled the entire s.p.a.ce.
Long Shuijing was astonished by the scene. As a dragon, looking at the dragon corpses in the sky frightened her.
She bowed respectfully at the dragon corpses in the sky.
Then, the two of them explored the ma.s.sive Dragon Tombs.
Chu Kuangren realized that although there were a lot of dead dragons, most of them were just Primordial or Grand Dao cultivators. There were countless runes surrounding the corpses, seemingly preventing them from decaying.
"Chu Kuangren, it's you!"
Just then, a black dragon flew toward Chu Kuangren, releasing a surge of Darkness energy fluctuation.
It was Hei Xuan from the Darkness Tribe.
"Oh, you're here as well."
Chu Kuangren was delighted to see Hei Xuan alive. As expected, the Devil King did not give the Darkness Tribe a hard time. She even returned them their freedom, or Hei Xuan would not be here.
"Chu Kuangren, how can you act like nothing happened?" Hei Xuan was pretty angry when he saw Chu Kuangren looking so relaxed and nonchalant.
Chu Kuangren tricked him into becoming his ride using the Darkness Ruler Amulet and then became the Child of Light.
After saving them from the Devil Tribe, he abandoned them and left without saying anything.
Hei Xuan had mixed feelings toward Chu Kuangren after what the latter did.
He was both grateful and angry at the same time.
He looked at Chu Kuangren, trying to swing a punch at his face. However, knowing that Chu Kuangren had the Darkness Ruler Amulet and was his savior, his fist relaxed.
"What? You want to punch me?" Chu Kuangren teased the silly Black Dragon.
"You owe me an explanation," Hei Xuan said, upset.
Before Chu Kuangren could say a word, Hei Xuan sensed something. He turned around and somehow looked nervous.
He said to Chu Kuangren, "I'll look for you soon!"
With that, his figure disappeared in a flash as he flew away.
After he left, a group of Black Dragons arrived with an intense killing intent. They were heading in the direction where Hei Xuan flew away, mumbling something about eliminating the traitor and erasing the disgrace of the Black Dragons.
The leading Black Dragon looked familiar to Chu Kuangren.
The leader, too, seemed to have noticed Chu Kuangren. However, as he turned around for a glance, his eyes widened in shock, and he quickly flew away.
"Huh? They're afraid of you?" Long Shuijing looked at Chu Kuangren strangely.
The group of Black Dragons was rather powerful, and a few of them were Grand Dao cultivators. They could kill Long Shuijing with just a slap, yet they were afraid of Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren was indeed a man of miracles.
"I don't think I'm that scary. It's not like I'll remove their spine or any of that sort," Chu Kuangren said with a chuckle.
"Why do I feel like that's exactly what you'll do?" Long Shuijing shuddered when she saw the grin on his face.
She continued, "The group of Black Dragons are chasing the one who spoke to you. Aren't you going to help? You seem to know him."
"It's alright. That Black Dragon misunderstood me, so he can suffer for a bit."
Chu Kuangren did not plan on saving Hei Xuan immediately.
As one of the Eight Great Heretics, Hei Xuan had been able to survive thus far while being hunted by the Radiant Church. It meant he must be good at escaping.
His priority would be exploring the Dragon Tombs and locating Shang Honghua and the others.
"I wonder what lies at the source of this strange feeling," he muttered.
The strange resonance grew stronger after he entered the Dragon Tombs, and it intrigued him. He wondered what was calling to him.
