Chapter 5680 - The Purple World
The purple expanse of land comes into view, and the entire world is bathed in the divine radiance of the earth, rendering it a world of purple hue. This deep and rich purple is not seductive, but carries endless honor. Illuminated by the purple divine radiance, it is as if bestowed with a noble identity by the heavens and earth, as if adorned with an invisible crown. Henceforth, one can disdain the universe and overlook the heavens.
The purple world appears to have a radius of merely thousands of miles, as Dragon Dust can clearly sense its boundaries. However, upon stepping into this purple world, it seems boundless, capable of encompassing the entirety of the Tianyuan realm. This is a profoundly contradictory sensation. Dragon Dust knows that the reason for this phenomenon is either a distortion in space or a distortion in time. Within this purple world, it contains laws he has never encountered before.
At the core of the purple world, a purple sun hovers in the sky. It shines too brightly, too dazzling to be directly gazed upon. Around this purple sun, endless dragon-shaped runes dance, faintly hearing the deep roars of dragons. It's as if the distant rumble of thunder rolls through the air, causing hearts to flutter and souls to tremble.
The vast dragon's might keeps emanating ceaselessly, the power of the divine pouring forth from the purple sun like surging waves, continuously washing over the heavens and earth. The dragon's power within the purple world is so concentrated that it could almost solidify into mist. Upon entering, Dragon Dust's previously stagnant dragon vein power unexpectedly shows signs of restlessness.
"So, that's the 'Imperial Dao Reversing Scale,' isn't it?"
Upon seeing the purple sun at the heart of the purple world, Xia Chen and the others couldn't help but inhale sharply in astonishment.
Although they were mentally prepared, they never imagined that the Imperial Dao Reversing Scale could possess such astonishing power. In front of the purple sun, which had just advanced to the Nine Meridians Heavenly Saint realm, Song Mingyuan, Xia Chen, Gu Yang, and others felt as insignificant as ants. The overwhelming pressure was almost despair-inducing.
"It probably holds the power to destroy the entire Tianmai Profound Realm!" Tang Wanner's voice trembled as she gazed at the purple sun.
Among the group, only she had secretly condensed eleven ancestral meridians. Her perception had even temporarily surpassed Dragon Dust's. It was precisely due to her strong perception that she was even more horrified. Only she and Dragon Dust could truly sense its terror.
Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, Xia Chen, and the others exchanged glances, their mouths tightly shut.
Bai Shishi looked at Dragon Dust and then at Tang Wanner, wanting to say something but ultimately remaining silent.
In reality, they all had a similar thought – to give up on the Imperial Dao Reversing Scale. They could absorb the power of the dragon here, allowing everyone to advance to the Nine Meridians Heavenly Saint realm. That would already be a substantial gain.
Whether it was Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, Xia Chen, or Tang Wanner, all of them were battle-hardened experts. When they saw the Imperial Dao Reversing Scale, they had a premonition that no one could subdue it. Even if everyone in the Tianmai Profound Realm joined forces, their combined strength would be insufficient.
The power of the Imperial Dao Reversing Scale was on a dimensional level beyond them, and there were so many individuals eyeing it greedily. If they forcibly fought over it, it would undoubtedly result in massive casualties, and in the end, no one would obtain it.
This perception and prediction were formed after countless life-and-death battles experienced by the strong, but Dragon Dust was determined to obtain the Imperial Dao Reversing Scale. They could only keep their inner thoughts to themselves, afraid to voice them.
Dragon Dust gazed at the purple sun, and suddenly, it trembled slightly. The intense purple divine radiance unexpectedly burst into flames, causing the temperature of the entire space to gradually rise. In that moment, Tang Wanner, Gu Yang, and the others felt their hairs stand on end, their scalps tingling. They were astonished to discover that the will of the Imperial Dao Reversing Scale seemed to have locked onto them.
Dragon Dust locked eyes with the purple Imperial Dao Reversing Scale, a smile gradually forming on his face. He turned to Gu Yang and the others, saying, "Don't worry, we have a chance. Some things, you won't know if you can succeed unless you give it your all."
Upon hearing Dragon Dust's words, Gu Yang and the others nodded. Since the leader had made a decision, there was no need for further discussion. No matter how challenging the situation might be, the Dragon Blood Legion had never backed down. When had they ever been afraid?
The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest moved forward slowly, but as Dragon Dust anticipated, the spatial realm carried by the Imperial Dao Reversing Scale was vast. Although it appeared close, after an entire hour of flight, the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest had only covered half the distance to the Imperial Dao Reversing Scale.
At this moment, numerous figures appeared ahead, representing various races, each guarding their own territory and utilizing the local laws to enhance themselves. Even amidst the purple divine radiance, the earth was stained with crimson bloodstains, and the pungent smell of blood permeated the air.
Clearly, any faction wishing to claim territory here would have to pay a significant price. The closer they got to the Imperial Dao Reversing Scale, the greater the benefits, and consequently, the fiercer the competition.
As the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest advanced, initially encountered were entities of average strength, confined to cultivating in the outskirts. When they encountered powerful forces, they would immediately give way. If their original spot was occupied, they would take a step back to avoid conflict.
The moment the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest appeared, the peripheral forces could tell that it was not a force to be trifled with. They all made way to express their attitude. This group was well-traveled, having witnessed numerous powerful forces attempting to intrude. Those forces either forcefully seized territory or suffered complete annihilation, with hardly any exceptions.
Seeing the arrival of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, many among them began to feel excited. They recognized the presence as one not to be provoked, and in such circumstances, a bloody battle was inevitable – a spectacle they were eager to witness.
They were realistic about their situation. Regardless of who obtained the Imperial Dao Reversing Scale, it certainly wouldn't be their turn. As spectators, they found joy in others fighting ruthlessly. The more brutal the fight, the happier they felt.
"Wow, there are really so many people!"
As Xia Chen looked at the multitude of figures stretching all the way to beneath the Imperial Dao Reversing Scale, even he, who was accustomed to grand scenes, couldn't help but inhale sharply in astonishment. Each "group" of people numbered in the millions, if not tens of millions, and the count of powerful individuals was simply incalculable.
The further they moved forward, the stronger the strength of these factions became. Initially, there were few Ancestral Saint-level individuals, and Nine Meridians Heavenly Saints were even rarer. However, as they progressed halfway, the number of Ancestral Saints gradually increased, and Nine Meridians Heavenly Saints were no longer a scarce presence. Almost every faction had a few of them.
Upon reaching this point, some factions were becoming less willing to yield the path. Clearly, the aura of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest was no longer as intimidating to them. Some factions simply didn't move and allowed the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest to fly overhead. Clearly, these factions were quite confident, feeling that even if the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest attacked them, they had the power to resist.
They were afraid of giving way and having the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest land directly in their territory. This would force them to either contend for territory with the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest or with other factions, or they would have to swallow their pride and step back. Such behavior was also a form of intimidation.
"Rumbling..."
The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest continued its advance, gradually drawing closer to the Imperial Dao Reversing Scale. At this point, no one was giving way, and as the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest approached, they all assumed combat stances, ready for a battle at any moment.
By this stage, all present were from powerful factions. Monsters roamed freely, and Nine Meridians Heavenly Saints were no longer an uncommon sight. In some factions, there were over a hundred individuals of this level.
However, even in the face of the dread-inducing aura of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, they were all tense and apprehensive, fearing that the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest might target their territory.
The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest continued its gradual flight, and along the entire path, the hearts of the powerful individuals were in their throats.
"Guo Ran, come out for a bit. It's your turn to perform," Dragon Dust called out from within the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, his voice traveling through space.
