135: Chapter 135: Your wings are good, suitable for grilling
Around the hundred-meter altar, twelve Yao Beast sculptures slowly rose from the ground.
From their forms, they were all the twelve most ancient great clans of the Monster Realm, including Dragons, Phoenixes, White Tigers, and Vermilion Birds, all carved into sculptures guarding the surroundings.
In their center, a massive Dragon sculpture stood above the altar, exuding immense majesty.
Though a sculpture, its divinity could not be hidden; a single glance would lead one to be immersed in it.
The four Great Demon Emperors withdrew their Emperor's Might, bowed deeply to the Dragon sculpture, and then returned to the base of the altar.
At this moment, from the direction of the three Great Yao Races, a figure each emerged.
From within the Vermilion Bird Clan, a red-haired youth's crimson wings fluttered behind him, forming streams of heat in the air.
Zhu Yan's gaze swept towards the Dragon Clan's direction, and his words contained a strong scent of gunpowder, "Listen up, the Dragon Clan should be sending Ao Qian, that woman, to battle.
Use all your strength to interfere; she absolutely cannot be allowed to gain the Yao God's recognition!"
"Yes!"
Ao Qian, seeing the other party constantly looking at her, glared, "Zhu Yan, what are you looking at! Believe it or not, this old lady will dig out your eyes!"
Zhu Yan grinned, "Ao Qian, when the Vermilion Bird Clan becomes the new overlord, I, this young master, will come to propose marriage and make you the young madam of our clan, how about it?"
Upon hearing this, if it were the old Ao Qian, she might have instantly bristled, but now, she secretly glanced at Jiang Xuan, her expression respectful, "Hmph, compared to the Progenitor, what are you all, mere pickled garlic!"
Her gaze towards Zhu Yan and the others was extremely disdainful.
My future Dao Companion, Ao Qian, must at least have one-tenth of the Progenitor's charm.
Seeing Ao Qian's gaze, Zhu Yan snorted coldly in his heart, "Heh, Ao Qian, you'll have to agree whether you want to or not then."
At this moment, the burly Black Tortoise Demon Emperor of the Black Tortoise Clan smiled and said, "Brother Ao Yin, time is almost up, who is your Dragon Clan planning to send to accept the Yao God's trial?"
Hearing this, all the Yao turned their gazes to Ao Qian.
Among the younger generation of the Dragon Clan, Ao Qian was the only one who could be presented.
However, just as they thought she would step forward, a charming youth came to the front of the Dragon Clan, a wicked smile on his lips, "This time, I will perform the sacrifice on behalf of the Dragon Clan."
"Hmm?"
The burly Demon Emperor was first stunned, then asked in confusion, "Brother Ao Yin, who is this young brother?"
Ao Yin's expression was playful, "Heh heh, who he is, you'll know in a bit."
The Black Tortoise Clan's Demon Emperor's expression froze.
What trick was Ao Yin playing?
What did he mean, 'I'll know in a bit'?
It was inexplicable.
He vaguely felt something was amiss.
Although the Black Tortoise Clan was large and robust, they were extremely cautious in their actions; this was one of the reasons for their clan's longevity.
"Xuange, pay attention to that Dragon ClanKid later."
The Black Tortoise Demon Emperor knew Ao Yin too well and felt something was off in his heart, so he instructed the Prodigy within his clan.
The White Tiger Clan seemed to have an inherently aloof nature, only glancing indifferently at Jiang Xuan before no longer paying attention.
The Vermilion Bird Demon Emperor beside him swept a glance at Jiang Xuan, and seeing the faint Bloodline Aura on him, he scoffed, "Ao Yin, if you're going to find someone, at least find someone decent.
How dare you bring out such a lowly Bloodline waste?"
"Are you perhaps thinking your Dragon Clan is bound to lose, so you just found someone to make up the numbers, ha ha ha!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene began to change.
All the Dragon Clan members stared fixedly at the Vermilion Bird Demon Emperor, and the surrounding temperature dropped by a few degrees.
Traces of coldness emanated from within the Dragon Clan, making the Great Yao present shiver involuntarily.
A fierce cold light erupted in Ao Yin's eyes.
How dare he insult the Progenitor; today, you, Vermilion Bird Demon Emperor, shall surely die!
The numerous Dragon Clan members behind him showed no fear in their eyes.
Even if you are a Demon Emperor, if you dare to disrespect the Progenitor, they would fight to the death to bite a piece of flesh from your Vermilion Bird Clan!
Looking at the gazes of the many Dragon Clan members directed at him, the Vermilion Bird Demon Emperor's heart tightened.
Isn't he just an ant with a low-tier Bloodline?
Why are you all so angry?
For a time, the atmosphere became somewhat solidified, and the faces of some Great Yao around them changed slightly, their bodies retreating some distance as they spoke, lest they be caught in the crossfire, as they could not afford to offend either side.
"Looking at this, they're not going to start fighting, are they?"
The White Tiger Demon Emperor's expression remained icy, indifferent to everything, with only the Yao God's sacrifice in his eyes.
The Black Tortoise Demon Emperor's expression was unreadable.
That kid's identity was indeed not simple; however, he did not remind the Vermilion Bird Demon Emperor, letting them contend while he enjoyed the benefits of their struggle.
In front of the Dragon Clan, Jiang Xuan glanced at the Vermilion Bird Demon Emperor, then looked at the fiery feathers behind him, a red glow flashing in his eyes, "Nice wings, I wonder how they taste roasted."
As soon as these words were uttered, the scene instantly fell into a deathly silence.
What did they hear?
A low-tier Bloodline Yao Race actually said, in front of the Vermilion Bird Demon Emperor, that his wings looked delicious?
Could it be that they were hallucinating?
"You're courting death! How dare you disrespect the Great Emperor; you shall not be spared!"
Zhu Yan was enraged, flames surged around his body.
This person before them was the Great Emperor of their Vermilion Bird Clan, and some unknown waste dared to speak like that!
"You are the ones courting death!" Jiang Xuan roared, his entire Aura drastically changing, and his Progenitor Dragon Bloodline erupted.
Today, he would use the Vermilion Bird Clan to establish his might and bring the Yao Race under his control!
An extreme Bloodline pressure suddenly permeated the entire venue.
Above the altar, the twelve ancient Yao Race sculptures emitted intense light, and a Dragon's roar, as if from the Chaos Universe, containing endless majesty, caused the hearts of all the Yao Race present to tremble violently!
The Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Ao Yin, the four Great Demon Emperors, and many other Yao Race members all knelt on the ground, their Yao Race Bloodlines trembling as if encountering a great terror.
Jiang Xuan stepped into the Void Realm, walking step by step towards the Progenitor Dragon sculpture.
At this moment, above the sculpture, a projection of a Universe appeared.
In the deep space, a pair of gigantic eyes slowly opened from the boundless Universe; for a moment, star rivers flowed, and the sun and moon rose and fell.
An ancient and profound voice slowly entered Jiang Xuan's mind from the depths of the Universe, "The breaker of the situation, has finally appeared.
Grow quickly; you don't have much time left..."
After a long while, the Universe returned to peace, the giant eyes closed again, falling into a long slumber in the darkness.
Jiang Xuan's expression was quite shocked, "Is this the Progenitor Dragon?
Just opening its eyes once possesses such power.
The star rivers, sun, and moon are like toys in its eyes.
This power, compared to a Great Emperor, is simply a world apart."
Jiang Xuan clenched his hands tightly, his eyes filled with intense longing.
This was a true powerhouse.
One day, I too will reach that Realm, or even surpass it!
He recalled what the Progenitor Dragon had just said to him, his brows furrowing slightly, "The breaker of the situation, could it be referring to me?"
A hint of solemnity flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes.
If even the Progenitor Dragon's terrifying cultivation couldn't solve something, then how powerful must the enemy be?
He looked up at the gradually disappearing Universe light curtain, a strong sense of urgency welling up in his heart.
Jiang Xuan didn't know how long the Progenitor Dragon's 'not much time left' referred to—a hundred years, ten years, or even one year?
However, no matter how long, the only thing he had to do was to quickly improve his strength.
For the unknown existence that even the Progenitor Dragon couldn't shake, Jiang Xuan had to be vigilant.
Only if he was strong enough could he break through the darkness in the impending shadow!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan suddenly turned around, his charming eyes gleaming with a cold light.
