I still haven’t…
He took a deep breath.
Su Ping’s eyes became cold and calm again. He asked the giant, colorful bird, “I know little about the Sorcerer Ancestors. Tell me, besides your clan’s, was another Sorcerer Ancestor defeated by the Heavens?”
“Defeated or killed?” the massive bird replied, “Sorcerer Ancestor Shi Mang and Sorcerer Ancestor Yin Que were defeated. I don’t know much about the others. As for the ones killed… Your Primitive Chaos Clan’s Sorcerer Ancestor and Sorcerer Ancestor Xuan Qi. I heard that the Sorcerer Ancestor of the Kun Peng’s clan also encountered the Heavens, but I don’t know the exact outcome.”
Su Ping was dazed, and his heart pounded. “So, the Sorcerer Ancestors can escape from the Heavens? Are you saying that Sorcerer Ancestor Shi Mang is still alive?”
“Sure.” The bird replied without thinking, giving the other an eye roll, dissatisfied by that question. “The Sorcerer Ancestors are the strongest creatures born from chaos. How could they be killed so easily? They would never lose, if the Heavens weren’t so cunning.”
The bird thought, Do you think they’re all as weak as your Sorcerer Ancestor?
However, it chose to not say it aloud. In any case, Su Ping had risked his own life to help them. His actions didn’t change the outcome in the slightest, but his courage was admirable.
Su Ping felt relieved.
Sorcerer Ancestors could die, but they weren’t completely defenseless when facing the Heavens.
If some managed to escape, it was possible that Sorcerer Ancestor Hun Yu could make it to safety.
This also meant that it wasn’t easy for the Heavens to kill Sorcerer Ancestors. They weren’t much stronger in comparison.
“Do you know the Golden Crows?” Su Ping asked all of a sudden.
He didn’t know if he could go and meet the Golden Crows from where he was at the moment. Their world was merely a secluded, yet advanced cultivation site, while he currently was in a chaos cultivation site you had to access with a hundred million energy points. If he reached the chaotic site from the Golden Crow world, his resurrections would only cost 900 energy points, which was nothing to him at the moment. That would practically make him invincible!
He would then become the Chaos clan’s sharpest blade and play a role that no other Ancestral God could in the war against the Heavens.
“The Golden Crows?” the colorful bird said, “Of course I do. They are in the far south, which is too far from here. We can’t go, unless Sorcerer Ancestor Hun Yu returns and takes us there.”
“How long would it take for us to get there?” asked Su Ping.
“It’s not a matter of time,” replied the bird, “We would bump into the Heavens on the way. It’s a long and dangerous journey. We would be destroyed if we travel alone through chaos.”
Su Ping dismissed the thought upon hearing the answer. The only option at the moment would be to wait until they reached the Original Dragons.
Time flew.
Su Ping was incapable of sensing the flow of time while traveling in the Empyrean, as the concepts of space and time weren’t present. Everything seemed to be still; only those who had awakened their Dao Hearts could move. Celestials could only hide in their small universes and push them to move, which was a slow and dangerous process.
Our hero felt odd, as they hadn’t spotted other universes on the way.
He had seen many universe fragments in his previous travels beyond his world’s universe. However, the journey thus far had been completely clean of any debris.
Was this place swept clean by the Heavens recently?”
Su Ping was puzzled by this.
Using the time flow of his inner universe as reference, he knew a month had passed.
The bird said, “We’re almost there.”
Su Ping also saw a vague light in the darkness ahead. The light grew as they approached, which turned out to be continents floating in the void.
Those extremely vast continents were protected by barriers that blocked the effects of outer space.
Their width and length had to be measured by light years.
Su Ping activated his chaos eyes, allowing him to see some of the continental views. Countless dragons were flying about; the place seemed to be a paradise of their kind.
Whoosh!
Two majestic dragons flew out from one of the continents. Their bodies were almost as big as half a planet, while their backs were like steel mountains. They carried an ancient feeling of toughness.
Both dragons had Undying State realms.
“Hun Yu Clan? What are you doing here!” one of the dragons whispered, but the voice rumbled; everybody was surrounded by the dragon’s might.
Su Ping’s eyes glittered. This dragon is even more intimidating than the dragon ancestor I saw earlier. Is it a dragon king from the age of chaos?
He summoned the Inferno Dragon and his other pets to have them experience the great dragon’s true might.
Hardly had the Inferno Dragon appeared when it raised its head and stared at the two dragons with fright in its eyes. The fright became even deeper soon after, and flames seemed to be burning in its eyes. It was shaking, while its bones were cracking; even blood was flowing out of its scales.
Su Ping glanced at the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon and saw that it was having a rougher time resisting. It was almost crouching, as if holding back an excruciating pain.
The Dark Dragon Hound, on the other hand, was only slightly nervous; it was the same for the Purple Python and the others.
Su Ping examined the Inferno Dragon, and finally realized that the fellow was struggling to resist the two dragons’ might.
Bloodline superiority was a substantial threat for other dragons. All dragons would have to bow before an Ancestral God dragon king. The fear was deep in their blood.
The Inferno Dragon was trying to suppress and resist the fear.
The effort was tantamount to resisting an instinctual trait.
If breathing was one of those instincts, the Inferno Dragon was essentially holding its breath. Not for a moment, but permanently!
Undoubtedly, going against your nature could be fatal.
Instincts couldn’t just be disposed of; they were etched in your genes and blood. Removing them could prove fatal.
While looking at his stubborn dragon pet as it trembled, Su Ping suddenly felt that he didn’t really help as a master.
Even if it truly became the strongest dragon in the world, it would all be through its own merit. He only gave it a push. Nothing more.
Su Ping extended his hands, to touch his dragons’ legs.
Both dragons flinched, then stopped shivering. They looked at Su Ping simultaneously.
He smiled at them and said, “Don’t give in. You won’t lose to anyone!”
The two dragons felt dazed for a moment, but then their eagerness to fight grew.
That’s right. We won’t lose to anyone!
They had followed Su Ping and seen countless worlds, and numerous mythical creatures!
They could die, but they would never lose!
Roar!!
The Inferno Dragon was wreathed in flames as it let out a roar to the sky. The sound reached the billions of mythical creatures moving with them.
The two chaos dragons—whose teeth were already bigger than the Inferno Dragon itself—both heard the roar and looked at the colorful bird’s back.
They noticed two fellow dragons, with impure bloodlines and an unremarkable Dao Heart State. However, instead of kneeling, they were staring back with heads held high!
Both of the massive dragons narrowed their eyes, with a glint of danger flashing in them.
Dragons would always be ruthless to inferior kin who challenged their authority.
The world of dragons was crueler than what outsiders could imagine. Hierarchy was extremely strict.
The colorful bird noticed this exchange and its expression changed a bit. At first, it was angry because Su Ping had summoned a few lesser creatures to ride on its back. What does this guy think I am? Some sort of mount that anyone can ride? Then, an even more infuriating act: those kids even roared at the Original Dragons!
They went there to seek refuge, not to provoke!
