501: Ancestral Dragon Bloodline

Golden Warships, pulled by Horned Dragons and branded with Ancient Heavenly Court runes, emitted a boundless aura of slaughter. Alongside them, Nether Fortresses constructed from white bones and shrouded in dense Death Qi were tearing through the Void Realm, grandly advancing toward the Ziwei Star Domain!

Banners fluttered as Death Qi blotted out the sky. Immortal light and ghost fires intertwined, reflecting the terrifying lineup of the invading enemies.

This was not the strongest force of the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld, but it was still extremely formidable—at the very least, it was enough to extinguish all laws within the Myriad Realms.

Beyond the Heavenly Court and the Netherworld, some powerful races and Loose Cultivators who had caught wind of the situation were hiding in the distant starry sky, waiting for an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

The great war was on the verge of breaking out; the current moment was merely the calm before the storm.

Within the Ye Family Secret Realm, all members of the Ye Family, regardless of age, had set aside their duties.

They were putting all their effort into maintaining the Secret Realm's Formation, injecting their power into the nodes of the Cosmic Constellation Great Array.

Everyone understood that the most severe trial since the birth of the Ye Family—and indeed the entire Ziwei Star Domain—had arrived!

Whether they would rise among the heavens or fall into obscurity would be decided in this single battle!

If they succeeded, the Ye Family would be able to stand firmly in the Myriad Realms and become a renowned hegemon.

If they failed, they would turn to ashes and become mere talk for the Myriad Realms, just like many other families.

After all, families like the Ye Family were never in short supply, but those who could truly become hegemons were few and far between.

Whether the Ye Family could pass this hurdle and completely achieve the path of a hegemon would depend on themselves.

After Ye Xuan finished giving his instructions, he sank into the core of the star. With Chaos Qi and stellar light intertwining around him, he entered a deeper state of secluded cultivation.

Inside the Imperial Palace, a temporary peace was restored, with only the sounds of the Great Dao echoing silently.

Tang Linglong, Fire Linger, Yan Ruyu, and Ye Yao Ru stood guard outside, their minds tense as they closely monitored the area outside the Star Domain through the Star Lord Talismans.

After all, no one knew when danger would descend.

However, no one expected that a startling change originating from within was quietly occurring.

Deep within the Ye Family Secret Realm, there was a meticulously arranged courtyard filled with Spiritual Qi.

This was where Ya Ya lived—the girl Ye Xuan had brought back from the Ten Thousand Clans Gathering, who possessed a weak Dragon Clan Bloodline.

When she first arrived at the Ye Family, her body was frail and her Bloodline was dormant, like a candle in the wind. Not only was her strength weak, but even her lifespan was not very long.

But under the nourishment of the Ye Family's resources and the companionship and care of Ye Xuan and his daughters—who treated her like a biological sister—her health gradually improved. Smiles appeared more often on her face, and that weak Dragon Clan Bloodline seemed to gain a hint of vitality.

Perhaps because of the Dragon Clan Bloodline, Fire Linger liked Ya Ya very much and often went to visit her.

Ya Ya also had a good relationship with Ye Xi; the two had become close friends who shared everything.

At this moment, Ya Ya was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard with Ye Qingxian, fiddling with some beautiful Star Shells.

These were a type of shell unique to the Star Sea. They had no cultivation value, but they were extremely beautiful because they had absorbed the power of the stars.

Some female Cultivators and Fairies liked to use these things as jewelry to decorate themselves.

Ye Xuan's wives and concubines were naturally no exception. These things might be somewhat expensive for others, but for Ye Xuan, they were nothing.

Therefore, there were many of these in the Ye Family. Ye Xi and Ye Qingxian liked them very much too, often using them as tools for making beaded chains to play with.

Ye Qingxian and Ye Xi were chattering about interesting things while Ya Ya listened quietly, holding the sleeping Ye Chuqing in her arms with a smile on her face.

She liked the Ye Family very much. She loved these sisters and elders who treated her like Family; this was a warm harbor she had never felt before.

In fact, these current days were the best she had ever experienced since she was born.

"Ye Xi, I..."

Ya Ya wanted to say something, but suddenly, the Star Shell in her hand slipped away silently.

Her petite body suddenly stiffened as an indescribable throb, originating from the deepest part of her Bloodline, erupted without warning!

"Ya Ya, what's wrong?"

Ye Qingxian noticed her abnormality immediately and asked with concern.

Ya Ya didn't answer. Her pupils suddenly contracted, and deep within her originally pitch-black eyes, a streak of noble purple-gold emerged, instantly occupying her entire eye sockets!

At the same time, an ancient, vast, and boundlessly majestic aura, like a giant dragon that had slept for eons, suddenly awakened within her body!

"Roar!!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A dragon's roar, not from the throat but from the depths of the Soul, suddenly burst from Ya Ya's body!

This dragon roar wasn't loud, yet it carried a supreme majesty that stood above all living beings, instantly spreading throughout the entire Ye Family Secret Realm!

Thump!

Thump!

Within the Secret Realm, every Cultivator and Spirit Beast whose body contained even a trace of the Dragon Clan Bloodline couldn't help but kneel on the ground at this moment.

Their bodies trembled as an irresistible sense of awe and worship surged from the depths of their Souls!

Even Tang Linglong and the others guarding the Imperial Palace felt their minds shake, and the blood in their bodies began to boil slightly!

"This is... Pure-blood Dragon Might!"

Fire Linger cried out in shock. She was sensitive to flames, and she was equally perceptive of the pressure from such supreme beings.

After all, she herself possessed the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, making her extremely sensitive to this.

"The source is Ya Ya's residence!"

Yan Ruyu's expression changed as the green lotus emperor weapon sensed that majestic aura belonging to a top-tier being.

The group immediately cast their Divine Sense toward Ya Ya's small courtyard.

They saw Ya Ya floating in mid-air, her entire body wrapped in dense purple-gold light.

That light was not simple energy; it had condensed into countless tiny, lifelike dragon-shaped runes that circled around her.

Her body elongated slightly in the light. On both sides of her forehead, two small, exquisite purple-gold dragon horns that radiated endless majesty were slowly pushing through her skin and growing out!

Her aura was skyrocketing at an unbelievable speed!

The originally weak Dragon Clan Bloodline was now like a vast sea, surging and roaring. Its purity and power far exceeded everyone's imagination!

This was by no means an ordinary Dragon Clan Bloodline, but... the supreme Imperial Blood of the Dragon Clan!

"Ancestral Dragon Bloodline... It's actually the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline that disappeared long ago in the river of history!"

Ye Qingtian's figure appeared outside the courtyard, his old face filled with extreme shock.

"This girl... It's not that her Bloodline was weak, but that the level of her Bloodline was too high, and it had been in a dormant state of self-sealing! Now, stimulated by the Ziwei Great Emperor Star's Origin and the Chaos Qi, it has completely awakened!"

As if to confirm Ye Qingtian's words, Ya Ya suddenly raised her head. Those dragon pupils, which had turned completely purple-gold, were filled with majesty, seemingly piercing through the Secret Realm's barriers to look at the enemies outside the Star Domain.
