Chapter 244: The Bloodline of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor

By absorbing a divine artifact, Chen Xiao’s body also acquired some of its properties. After the previous Snowflakes of Desolation, now there was this Qi Tian Jue as well.
Yet Chen Xiao understood that absorbing and refining a divine artifact was no easy task. A powerful artifact like Qi Tian Jue, of unknown supreme rank, was even more difficult to refine and absorb.
If it weren’t for the trace of that certain attribute within Qi Tian Jue, his current Origin Spirit Fire might not have been able to deal with it at all.
Still, Chen Xiao was quite satisfied. His strength had increased significantly compared to before, giving him much greater confidence in going to the Dragon Family to cause trouble.
“Hm? If there’s one Qi Tian Jue in this golden world, it’s possible there could be a second one…”
Chen Xiao’s body reappeared in this golden spatial world. This time, he used his Origin Spirit Fire without hesitation to enhance his mental power and began searching through this space.
But this time, he was disappointed. After searching for three full days, he did find a few divine artifacts, yet all of them were shattered, with their divine laws completely vanished.
If it weren’t for the remnants still existing after who knows how long, Chen Xiao would have thought they were just ordinary scrap metal.
“It seems I was too greedy. One heaven-defying divine artifact is enough.”
Chen Xiao shook his head. His body flashed back to the Main God’s Space, from where he directly arrived in the Thousand Souls Realm.
But as soon as he landed here, he noticed something was wrong.
The two Heavenly Dragons, Ming Lan and Ming Qing, had retreated to the center of Lakeheart Island, surrounded by layers of protection. Meanwhile, Fu Yun was floating in mid-air, confronting an old man with black hair and a black robe.
This old man was extremely powerful, also a peak Void God. Though not as abnormally strong as Xueye Canhua, he was on par with Fu Yun.
Moreover, the Thousand Souls Island was surrounded by countless supernatural beings, ancient martial artists, and cultivators.
On the island were only the newly subdued Chen family members. Looking up at the dense crowd in the sky, their legs turned to jelly.
“Ao Yi Void God, what’s the point of following that Chen Xiao? He’s just a minor figure—how could he command a peak Void God like you? Why not join our Dragon Family? We will treat you with the utmost respect.”
The old man with black hair smiled warmly as he spoke to Fu Yun.
“Hehehe…” Fu Yun shook his head. He simply laughed and said, “Join the Dragon Family? Heheh, what’s the benefit of joining a family on the verge of destruction?”
“You…” The old man’s face showed a hint of anger upon hearing Fu Yun’s words, but he quickly calmed down. “Do you really believe Chen Xiao can deal with our Dragon Family?”
“I don’t believe he can deal with you,” Fu Yun shook his head. Before the old man could speak again, he continued, “But I believe he can completely destroy your Dragon Family, leaving none behind.”
A playful smile appeared on Fu Yun’s face.

“So, Ao Yi, you refuse to join my Long family?” The black-haired old man’s expression darkened instantly as he spoke coldly.
Fuyun shook his head.
“Kill them all—every living being on this island, not a single one left,” the black-haired old man ordered without hesitation.
Immediately, he transformed into a phantom and rushed at Fuyun, engaging in a fierce battle with him.
“Huh? Could it be that Grandpa had anticipated this?” Seeing this scene, Chen Xiao was stunned. He had already realized that all the Chen family members remaining on the island were those who had opposed Chen Jianzhou and driven him out of the family.
Now, faced with the numerous powerful members of the Long family, these people had no chance to resist and were killed one after another.
Cries of pain filled the air.
As for Ming Qing and Ming Lan, their bodies glowed with light, and the phantom forms of two Virtual Divine Weapons appeared above them, acting like armor. Ordinary cultivators couldn’t do anything to them.
“Damn it, it’s good I gave those two Virtual Divine Weapons earlier; otherwise, we’d be in trouble now. Fuyun, if anything happens to Ming Lan and Ming Qing, I’ll pluck every hair on your body,” Chen Xiao thought maliciously.
Fuyun seemed to sense this as well. His entire body trembled involuntarily, and his attacks became even more fierce.
“Damn, this Ao Yi is so strong…” Although both were at the peak of Virtual Divine beings, there were still differences among them. Fuyun had only inherited the Virtual Divine essence of the previous Heavenly Dragon King, who was a true peak Virtual Divine being, on the verge of mastering the path of divinity. Fuyun, having inherited everything from him, was far stronger than ordinary peak Virtual Divine beings.
“Ancestral Dragon Ascending Fist!” Suddenly, the black-haired old man unleashed the Long family’s ultimate technique, transforming his body into a Heavenly Dragon and charging at Fuyun.
“Ancestral Dragon Ascending Fist… I wonder which scumbag of the dragon race mixed with humans and left behind descendants…”
A cruel smirk appeared on Fuyun’s lips.
“Ancestral Dragon Ascending? Primordial Dragon Falling to Earth!”
In turn, Fuyun also threw a punch. He didn’t transform into his true form, but his fist turned into a white dragon claw, which struck at the black Heavenly Dragon formed by the old man in black.
A true Heavenly Dragon versus a human with dragon blood.
Boom!
Without a doubt, the old man from the Long family was flung away by Fuyun’s claw, and the dragon blood within him was also pulled out.
“Huh? Whose blood is this? Though somewhat mottled, it contains the aura of an emperor of the Heavenly Dragon clan…”
Fuyun held the golden-glowing blood in his hand, puzzled. Then, gritting his teeth, he removed the impure parts and absorbed the purest dragon emperor blood into his own body.
Fuyun was a Heavenly Dragon, while his father was merely a Dragon King—far from the level of a dragon emperor. Yet, the dragon blood in this person contained the essence of a dragon emperor, which really caught Fuyun’s attention.

“If all of this Dragon Clan’s bloodline is refined, will my own bloodline transform into that of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor?”
A glimmer of excitement flashed in Floating Cloud’s eyes.
As for the black-haired elder, his bloodline had been directly drawn out by Floating Cloud using the Dragon Clan’s secret techniques, leaving him half-dead. If not for the Void God Law within him holding his life together, he would have already died.
“You…” The black-haired elder trembled as he stared at Floating Cloud in disbelief. How could his bloodline have been taken away by this white-haired Void God?
After all, what the Dragon Clan inherited was the supreme bloodline of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor. Ordinary Dragon Clan members might not know this, but as a peak-level Void God and the Dragon Clan’s trump card in the world of supernatural powers, a guardian-like existence, how could he not know?
Yet, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor bloodline within him had been devoured by this white-haired Void God?
“Die!”
Without wasting words, Floating Cloud threw a punch—Ancestral Dragon Soars to Heaven, Primordial Dragon Falls to Earth!
With these two ultimate techniques used simultaneously, one punch reduced the black-haired elder to fragments.
In truth, the black-haired elder’s strength was roughly on par with Floating Cloud’s, but his bloodline was that of the Dragon Clan. Though it was the supreme Heavenly Dragon Emperor bloodline, it was precisely countered when facing a true Heavenly Dragon.
After absorbing the black-haired elder’s bloodline, a faint golden light flashed in Floating Cloud’s eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.
“Afraid his Heavenly Dragon Emperor bloodline is too weak… Hm, it seems there are quite a few direct descendants of the Dragon Clan among those below.”
Floating Cloud’s entire body suddenly transformed into a shadowy figure, darting among them. Wherever he passed, any descendant with the Dragon Clan’s bloodline had their blood drawn out, killing them instantly.
“You… You, a peak-level Void God, disregard your status and hunt ordinary cultivators and supernatural beings. Do you have any shame left?”
At that moment, another Void God from the Dragon Clan, hiding in the shadows, couldn’t help but reveal himself. He had been observing secretly and initially thought the black-haired elder would easily defeat Floating Cloud, but he never expected the elder to be reduced to fragments with just one punch.
When Floating Cloud drew out the bloodlines, he did so extremely stealthily. Aside from him and the black-haired elder, no one else saw what happened.
When the black-haired elder was killed by Floating Cloud, the hidden Dragon Clan Void God was caught off guard and stood frozen. It wasn’t until he saw Floating Cloud start killing Dragon Clan members without hesitation that he finally stepped forward.
This Void God was only at the beginner level, far inferior to Floating Cloud’s.
“Another Void God? Hmph, the bloodline of a Void God is far more potent than that of ordinary cultivators.”
Upon seeing this Void God appear, Floating Cloud hesitated for no moment and rushed at him, using the Dragon Clan’s secret techniques to draw out his bloodline.
“Huh?”
Chen Xiao, who had been hiding in the shadows, hadn’t seen clearly what Floating Cloud was doing at first, but now he could see everything clearly.

“Never mind. I originally wanted to use others to kill these people from the Chen family and get rid of them, but I didn’t expect things to turn out like this… Hmm, Fuyun wants the bloodline of the Long family. The descendants of the Long family who came here have now become his prey.”
Chen Xiao glanced around slightly. The descendants of the Chen family and those of the Long family had fought almost to the point of exhaustion, with few left—after all, the enemy had a decisive numerical advantage. But after Fuyun’s massacre earlier, not many of the Long family members were left either.
Now, both sides were once again at a stalemate.
Only that at this point, the people of the Long family were demoralized, while the descendants of the Chen family were emboldened and fighting back fiercely.
