Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 527: Chapter 532 Chaos Dragon Nest

The Myriad Dragon Nest is the burial site of the Ruthless Person!

The big black dog was frightened by its own words. Its black fur stood on end, resembling a large porcupine. It was truly a hair-raising sight.

“Don’t speak carelessly.” Ye Fan also felt a heaviness in his heart. He always believed it was better not to have too much karmic connection with the Ruthless Person.

He had taken the Origin Qi foundation from the Ruthless Person and almost seized their Immortal Medicine as well. Stepping into this burial site now felt terribly wrong.

“Heaven-devouring Great Emperor, could it be he really lived through four generations?” The big black dog was somewhat unnerved. The presence of four ancient coffins here made it think many things.

“Damu Limu…” The eyes of the Ancient Royal youth were clear as he spoke seriously about something.

The monkey explained from the side that there were four ancient coffins here, each more terrifying than the last. However, some were empty, containing only peerless killing intent hidden within.

“Indeed, it is undoubtedly the most ruthless person of ancient times—four ancient coffins represent four lives lived to their end!” the big black dog stated solemnly.

The first life of the Ruthless Person was as the Heaven-devouring Great Emperor, who in old age sacrificed his aged Emperor Body into the Heaven-devouring Demon Jar, leaving no bones behind.

In the second life, he emerged like a chrysalis transforming into a butterfly, breaking out from the old body and shedding a Divine Embryo, thus severing past karmic connections.

In the third life, he extended his life using the Undying Divine Medicine, gaining another lifetime of vitality. The Divine Embryo regained its youth, yet no new Divine Embryo was conceived.

As for how his longevity in the fourth life was acquired, no one knew. However, it appears he reached the end of his life in this generation and could not persist any longer.

If what Non Gongzheng said is true, then the Ruthless Person most likely succeeded in the Bronze Immortal Palace, thus attaining a fourth life, Ye Fan frowned.

The Fighting Saint Ape communicated with the youth and obtained some useful information.

The four ancient coffins from four lives indeed belonged to one person. This had long been confirmed by the Ancient Royal Family, whose elders warned against approaching. The youth didn’t know why, believing them to contain the corpses of ancient emperors.

“The Beginningless Great Emperor, out of respect, did not choose this place but sought another, the Purple Mountain.” The big black dog sighed deeply. “Unbelievable, isn’t it? The most ruthless person of ancient times—a name that echoes through the ages—was buried here.”

Ye Fan was skeptical and questioned him repeatedly. Eventually, the ancient youth confirmed that the Ruthless Person had died long ago; their divine consciousness had shattered more than two hundred thousand years ago.

The mature Ancient Kings slumbering here possessed power comparable to Ancient Saints, or even Great Success Holy Bodies. They could not have been mistaken.

The big black dog grabbed a handful of soil, tossed it into the air with a sigh, and said, “All ancient Great Emperors are lonely, returning to the yellow earth in their invincibility… May they rest in peace!”

Although it had never met the Ruthless Person, it feared them the most. It had once dug through their Dao Field and searched for the Ancient Heaven-devouring Demon Vessel. Now, however, it could only feel mournful.

They journeyed several more miles forward and saw a huge block of Divine Source. Sealed within was a middle-aged man of imposing stature, with a head of purple hair, resembling an ancient emperor at rest.

In a daze, they seemed to see him standing majestically. With a great roar, the ancient land collapsed, the heavens fell, and the myriad races submitted.

“This is my Royal Father. Should we awaken him?” the youth asked.

Upon hearing this, even the monkey’s face turned green. It quickly shook its head. “Do not disturb the senior.”

Soon after, they finally saw the third ancient coffin. After journeying several more miles, they arrived at the deepest part of the Myriad Dragon Nest.

“Indeed! It’s comparable to the Earth Formation of the Purple Mountain!”

After careful observation, Ye Fan exclaimed this, noting the nine True Dragon-shaped Ancient Caves in the heart of the Myriad Dragon Nest, stretching for an unknown number of miles.

Their tails pointed outward, while the nine dragon heads were aimed at the central area. It was a design of comparable ingenuity to the nine dragons guarding the Purple Mountain.

Moreover, on the nine vast True Dragon Earth Formations underground, there were countless Ancient Caves, all dragon-shaped. So many dragons were hidden here that it truly lived up to the name “Ten Thousand Dragons Concealed.”

“The Qi Mechanism of the fourth ancient coffin is coming from over there!”

The terrain of the Myriad Dragon Nest was full of pits and Ancient Caves, with Dragon Qi flowing like a boundless ocean. They finally reached the central immortal land.

“A True Dragon’s ancient nest!” the big black dog shouted in amazement.

In front of them stood numerous ancient trees, stretching endlessly. They had been dead for who knew how many tens of thousands of years. Each trunk was so thick that dozens of people couldn’t encircle it.

“Dragon Wood! Reputedly the divine material True Dragons used to construct their nests!” The big black dog’s eyes lit up.

Numerous pieces of ancient wood were piled together to form a massive nest. It looked simple, yet it exuded an extreme sense of mystery.

It was incredibly vast, constructed from endless ancient wood, as tall as a mountain. More than ten thousand Great Dragons, all formed by Dragon Qi, moved around it.

“There really is a Dragon Nest…” Even the Fighting Saint Ape was flabbergasted and somewhat dazed.

Ye Fan was also stunned. There were records in the Heavenly Source Book suggesting the Myriad Dragon Nest might be a True Dragon’s nest. This had all been deduced by a Heavenly Source Master who had never entered.

Now, he was fortunate enough to witness it all. Inside, there truly was an ancient nest built entirely of Dragon Wood, still not decayed after all this time.

Over ten thousand dragon forms, each as vast as a great river, constantly moved about, coiling around the Dragon Nest. It was an incredibly mysterious and magnificent sight.

The Dragon Wood was jet-black, as was the entire nest. It looked ancient and worn, emanating an awe-inspiring aura.

“Damn it! It seems… dragons truly lived in this place!” the big black dog exclaimed.

The monkey was also stirred. It had never expected to see an abandoned Dragon Nest, something akin to a legend.

Did dragons on par with Immortals once exist here? Ye Fan was stupefied.

“There must be Immortal Treasures in the Dragon Nest! Anything it left behind would be a priceless treasure, not to mention that this Dragon Nest itself is an unparalleled divine object!” The big black dog’s greedy nature flared up again.

It unleashed its great divine abilities, attempting to take the entire Ancient Nest. Its divine energy surged powerfully as it tried to upheave the nest built of Dragon Wood.

However, the divine energy it released was like a clay ox entering the sea—utterly insignificant. It was like a drop of water falling into a desert, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

“Quick, help me! If we can take this Ancient Nest, we’ll have obtained a heaven-defying piece of good fortune!” the big black dog shouted.

“Modaraniyelu?” the Ancient Royal youth asked in confusion.

“He’s asking what we’re doing. He says the Ancient Nest cannot be touched lightly, or it will bring about a fatal disaster,” explained the monkey.

“No way! There’s no danger, is there?” The big black dog carefully sensed its surroundings but found nothing. It said, “If we can refine this Ancient Nest, it could definitely become an invincible divine artifact, capable of collecting and suppressing anything!”

My father has never seen any immortal traces. This place shouldn’t be the nest of a True Dragon, the monkey muttered to himself, pondering deeply.

His father was the Fighting Saint Emperor, who had dominated the Ancient Times. Their clan’s combat power was world-shaking. One could only imagine how terrifying he would have been once he became an ancient emperor.

It could be said that the old Fighting Saint Emperor’s strength was unmatched in ancient or modern times. In the final years of the Ancient Times, the world was entirely his domain!

If this place were an immortal site, an old Sacred Emperor eager to enter the Immortal Realm would certainly have sensed it, yet his father had never mentioned it.

“That’s it! This is most likely a nest left by an ancient emperor, unknown to the world!” After careful consideration, the monkey came to this conclusion.

“Regardless of whether it’s a True Dragon or an ancient emperor, the Ancient Nests they leave behind are unparalleled divine artifacts, not to mention the possible Immortal Treasures within!” the big black dog persisted.

The big black dog, ignoring everything else, was completely mesmerized by the sight of the Dragon Nest. It only wanted to claim it for itself and was continually thinking of ways to do so.

Ye Fan was very cautious. He explored with Source Technique but felt this place was impenetrable. It was a convergence point for ten thousand dragons—profound, mysterious, and unfathomable.

“Let this emperor give it a try.” Not daring to risk its true body, the big black dog plucked a long, black, shiny hair from its fur. It blew on it forcefully, and the hair transformed into a black dog the size of a calf.

“Go! Get into the Dragon Nest and see what’s going on!” it commanded.

“WOOF!” The transformed large dog pounced towards the Ancient Nest like a streak of black lightning.

The Ancient Royal youth cried out, his face filled with terror. He hid behind the others, his body trembling.

This is bad! Ye Fan had a premonition of imminent disaster. He summoned the Origin Qi Cauldron, from which myriad strands of Black Yellow Qi descended.

The monkey also took out its Supreme Evil Weapon, holding it in its hand like a large staff, ready to swing it at any moment.

“WOOF!” Before the Ancient Nest, the large dog let out a miserable cry and turned to ashes on the spot. Its shadowy remnant was then drawn into the Dragon Cave.

At the same time, a beam of Chaotic Sword Aura surged out. It was terrifying and unparalleled, capable of annihilating all things, and it shot towards them in an instant.

Everyone was horrified. This was pure Chaotic Sword Aura! Forget them; even a peak Peacock King would be obliterated, body and soul, if struck.

“CLANG!”

In the Black Emperor’s large paw, the Ancient Emperor Order, enveloped in purple qi, floated in mid-air and blocked the strike. The Chaotic Light retreated swiftly like receding water.

“The Ancient Emperors are so terrifying! Dead for hundreds of thousands, even millions of years, yet this Ancient Order still possesses such Immortal Power!” Ye Fan marveled.

“This piece of purple iron… I dug it out from some forgotten corner, and it’s actually an unparalleled divine object…” The big black dog clung desperately to the Ancient Emperor Order, drool trickling from its mouth as it grinned foolishly.

“May the Undying Emperor protect us!” The Ancient Royal youth prayed devoutly to the god in his heart, then earnestly warned the other three not to act recklessly.

They circled the Ancient Nest and discovered a terrifying fact: anyone who approached within three miles would have their divine energy completely suppressed, only recovering after they moved away.

Although this place was vast, their view was also obstructed by layers of Ancient Cave rock walls, leaving few suitable spots for observation from a distance.

Eventually, they climbed a sheer cliff and gazed at the interior of the Dragon Nest, wanting to understand exactly what was inside.

“A Dragon Scale!” the big black dog gasped. Among the Dragon Wood forming the Ancient Nest, it had spotted a gleaming scale that exuded a trace of an ancient emperor’s might.

Whether this was a True Dragon Ancient Nest or an Ancient Emperor’s Legacy site, that scale was priceless. It could definitely be refined into a holy divine relic.

All the Dragon Wood was jet-black. Thousands, even tens of thousands of pieces, were piled together, forming this giant nest from which endless Dragon Qi surged. When a fierce gust of wind blew past, revealing a glimpse of the scene within, it shocked all of them.

“The fourth ancient coffin!”

“A Land of Chaos!”

As the tens of thousands of streams of Dragon Qi parted for a moment, revealing a slight gap, the interior of the True Dragon’s ancient nest became faintly visible. A massive coffin floated there, amidst surging, endless primal chaos.

“Is this primal chaos nurtured by a True Dragon’s nest, something on par with an Immortal?!”

“Or did someone deliberately use Dragon Wood to conceal this naturally formed Land of Chaos?!”

They were all stunned. If it were the former, it would prove that Immortals truly existed in the world. If it were the latter, it would indicate that this place was far too mysterious and unfathomable!

At the bottom of the nest made of Dragon Wood, endless primal chaos roiled as if in the process of creating heaven and earth. The ancient coffin floated there, mystical beyond measure.

The Ruthless Person, in their fourth life, is here. He or she truly knows how to pick a spot! The big black dog was inwardly shocked.

The Myriad Dragon Nest, containing primal chaos within… what a remarkable Earth Formation! Ye Fan thought, cross-referencing with the Heavenly Source Book to make deductions.

Suddenly, Ye Fan was startled. The Origin Qi surged from his body and hovered above his head, trailing down myriad strands of Black Yellow Qi.

“This is…”

He felt a chill run down his spine. The Origin Qi Cauldron trembled continuously, apparently resonating with something inside the Ancient Nest.

“CRACK!”

At the base of the True Dragon’s ancient nest, enshrouded in primal chaos, the lid of the ancient coffin began to slowly open. An unbreakable connection had formed between it and Ye Fan’s cauldron!

“CLANG—”

The coffin lid slowly shifted, gradually opening…
