Chapter 1589: Dragon Ancestor
Chapter 1589: Dragon Ancestor
Rhazor narrowed his eyes at the man, but no matter how hard he looked, he just couldn’t see the man’s strength. He stood like a mountain while Rhazor remained a pebble far at the base of that mountain.
Of course, his heart skipped a beat. However, instead of panicking, he asked, “How may I address this senior?”
The man smiled and nodded to himself. “Bold and filled with curiosity. I like bold people, kid.” His smile grew as he regarded Rhazor some more.
“You can call me Dragon Ancestor, best friend and rival of the Legendary Beast God.”
“Huh?” Rhazor’s eyes widened upon hearing the man’s introduction. He had clearly expected a name, but being asked to call Dragon Ancestor made Rhazor question how large this man’s ego was.
However, instead of thinking too much, he paused his thoughts and first considered what the Dragon Ancestor said.
“You know the Beast God?” Rhazor asked, his eyes widening a bit more.
He had heard of the Beast God and even had one of his legendary techniques, the Immortal Claw Art, which he had already mastered the first form of to some level.
So hearing his name here made him question the Dragon Ancestor.
“So you know who the Beast God is, huh?” Dragon Ancestor asked with a furrowed brow, and Rhazor nodded.
“I have heard stories of him and even have one of his techniques.”
“I see. Then have you heard of the Dragon Ancestor too?” he asked, this time looking closely at Rhazor as if to make sure he didn’t lie to him.
Rhazor smiled weakly and shook his head. “I haven’t spent much time around dragons, so even if there are those who know you, I wasn’t one of them. I am sorry about that.”
“No need to apologise, kid,” Dragon Ancestor laughed and added, “While we were rivals, Beast God carried the universe on his shoulders, so it was only natural to still be remembered even after the Great Reset.”
“Great Reset?” Rhazor’s eyes sparkled.
Then he immediately asked, knowing he might just get some answers today, “Dragon Ancestor, does this Great Reset have something to do with the Great Catastrophe?”
Rhazor had only recently become aware of the Great Catastrophe, so he asked, knowing that if this Dragon Ancestor happened to be the real deal, he might just learn something new.
As he expected, the moment he asked the question, Dragon Ancestor raised his brow.
“So young, yet you know about the Great Catastrophe?” He frowned and narrowed his eyes at Rhazor. “I do wonder, though, how are you still alive when clearly, you aren’t a Celestial or a Forbidden being.”
He cleared his throat and added, “Just hearing about the Great Catastrophe should be enough to end your life, kid. It makes me wonder why you are still alive.”
Rhazor smiled. “I am a special case, Dragon Ancestor.”
“I can see that. What is interesting is that you remind me of the Beast God,” he laughed, his mind going back to the good old days when he and the most dangerous person he had ever known fought against powerful opponents, sometimes narrowly evading death.
“Listen carefully, kid. The Great Catastrophe is not something that can be discussed, not even by me. Perhaps the only ones who could tell you something are the Beast God, the Vampire God, or the Crimson Tyrant.
They are the only beings in existence who can tell you what you need to know. I don’t have such qualifications. After all, the Vampire God fought in the Second Great Catastrophe, and the Crimson Tyrant fought in the First Great Catastrophe.”
Dragon Ancestor sighed, a bit disappointed that he could not tell Rhazor what he should expect. He could already see it: the kid standing before him was the real deal.
In his eyes, Rhazor was the one the universe had picked to carry its burden on his shoulders, just as it had done with the Beast God, the Vampire God, and the Crimson Tyrant.
“At least I now know the Great Catastrophe is real and that there is a way to learn about it. However, would you mind telling me where I can find the seniors you mentioned?
And, most importantly, are there any survivors of the Great Catastrophes? Also, how many Great Catastrophes have there been so far?”
Dragon Ancestor nodded and smiled.
“Indeed, there are survivors. I survived the Third Great Catastrophe, but before the Beast God’s and my time, two Great Catastrophes had already occurred, and the universe failed both, just as we also failed.
In my time, only 10,000,002 people survived, but it has been several years since then, so who knows if some have given birth or died inside the Universe Ocean, or as we initially used to call it, the Primordial Chaos, or Primal Chaos.
However, I learned several billion years ago that over 100 million people survived the First Great Catastrophe, and close to 50 million survived the Second Great Catastrophe.
Naturally, you should already see the trend. Every cycle is several times more dangerous than the last, hence the reduction in survivors.
So you cannot fail, kid, else you would lose more than you can imagine. Even though I cannot tell you about the true nature of the Great Catastrophe, I can say this: when the time comes, make sure all external threats are dealt with before facing it.
Also, do your best to reach the Universe Ocean and meet one of the three legends I mentioned before. Every cycle, we dream of the day our universe will transcend and become Primal. So do well to win, kid.
One last thing. When you come to the Universe Ocean, find me. I have something for you that I believe will aid your endeavours. Until then, appreciate the small gifts I have given you.”
Rhazor didn’t know when it happened, but Dragon Ancestor appeared before him like a ghost and tapped his forehead. The next second, he was back inside the Haunted Valley.
Before he could even do anything, his body released a terrifying aura, one far beyond anything he had ever seen before.
In an instant, everyone within a 300,000-kilometre radius lost consciousness, including even Amaru. The only ones who remained awake were Qilin, Void, Nirvana, and the Black Dragon.
Rhazor only blinked, but when his eyes fluttered open, he saw the dragon turn into a black orb and fly into his body.
BOOOOOM!
Another wave of energy erupted from his body, and at once, his cultivation started to rise, breaking past the Immortal Monarch Stage and stepping into the Immortal Lord Stage.
But it didn’t stop. It kept climbing.
Meanwhile, far away, far, far outside this universe and cosmos, a man with flowing black hair and two large dragon horns hacked through the body of a serpent-like beast that, if it were to appear in the universe now, no one would survive.
After killing the beast, he looked up and exhaled. Then a smile formed on his face.
This man was the Dragon Ancestor, a beast who had stood at the apex of power during the Third Universe Reincarnation Cycle.
Ten million light-years away from his location, another man with golden hair, a lean body, three eyes, and a handsome appearance looked back at the dragon man.
This man was called the Beast God by all, an existence even the Chaos Dragon respected during the Primordial Era, and still did.
“So he made contact, huh?” the Beast God spoke, almost as if he were standing before the Dragon Ancestor.
“Indeed. We should start making preparations for what is coming,” Dragon Ancestor replied.
“I will contact the Crimson Tyrant and the Vampire God. They need to know what will soon be happening.” Beast God stated.
“You do that. I, on the other hand, will move closer to the Outer Eastern Domain and see if I can find that item.”
“Be careful while out there. As you already know, the moment he succeeds and the universe becomes Primal, they will notice and descend. Lord Paragon will count on us to defend everything while he heads back into his main battle.
We cannot fail him this time, Marvos.”
Dragon Ancestor nodded, not minding that the Beast God called him by his first name.
