Jiang Chen was a little surprised to hear that Mr. Qiu Shui was going to give him the drop of Earth Dragon Blood he had won at the auction.
That drop of Earth Dragon Blood was very important to many people.
If Mr. Qiu Shui used the Earth Dragon Blood with his Celestial Dragon Devouring the Sun technique, he would very likely have achieved a breakthrough.
But now, after Jiang Chen improved his Cultivation Technique and even gave him some pointers, he no longer needed the Earth Dragon Blood to break through successfully.
Although the Earth Dragon Blood could still enhance his Cultivation, Mr. Qiu Shui decided to give it to Jiang Chen as a thank-you gift.
"In that case, I will accept this drop of Earth Dragon Blood."
In the end, Jiang Chen didn't refuse.
If he were to refine this drop of Earth Dragon Blood into an elixir, it would be more than enough to help him raise his Cultivation.
He could even refine the Earth Dragon Blood into a Fourth-Grade Elixir.
"Good. I'm relieved that you've accepted it."
"Then I must thank you, Sir. During this time, I will focus all my efforts on breaking through."
"Once I emerge from my seclusion, I will assist you, Sir."
Overjoyed, Mr. Qiu Shui didn't forget about his own breakthrough.
The Cultivation of a Martial Emperor and anything below it were on completely different levels.
The power of a Martial Emperor was enough to shatter the heavens and sunder the earth.
Becoming a Martial Emperor Expert meant one had entered the ranks of the mid-tier experts of this world.
Of course, they were still a long way from being a top-tier expert.
Jiang Chen bid farewell to Mr. Qiu Shui and left the secret chamber.
He left Mr. Qiu Shui to focus on his breakthrough alone.
After returning to his room with the Earth Dragon Blood,
his figure flickered and vanished.
SWOOSH!
With another flash, Jiang Chen appeared inside the Dragon-locking Realm.
At this moment, inside the Dragon-locking Realm, the Golden-haired Zombie King was leading a group of Zombies, cultivating by using the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from Primordial Crystals.
After all, the Dragon-locking Realm had no Primordial Veins, and thus no natural Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. They could only cultivate by absorbing it from Primordial Crystals.
As for the others, there were the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf, the Black King Rat, and the Celestial Brown Ridge Python.
By Jiang Chen's side, he now had nearly thirty experts with Cultivation at or above the Light Martial King realm.
This even included a Martial Arts expert like the Golden-haired Zombie King.
It could be said that his forces were already considerable.
"Master."
The Golden-haired Zombie King, the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf, the Black King Rat, and the Celestial Brown Ridge Python all immediately greeted Jiang Chen.
Every one of them was extremely respectful.
The Black King Rat had now also completely submitted to Jiang Chen.
It had learned that Jiang Chen was the sworn brother of their Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain's Beast King Flame Dragon.
Jiang Chen nodded at the crowd of Demon Beasts.
Then, he took out the Earth Dragon Blood.
And began to study it.
There were still five days until the battle for the high ground. He needed to study the Earth Dragon Blood carefully; naturally, it had to be used for the most important purpose.
And that was to help him break through in his Cultivation.
This kind of Earth Dragon Blood, even though it only contained a partial bloodline of the Dragon Race, was still extraordinary.
Holding the Earth Dragon Blood, Jiang Chen pondered for a moment.
BUZZ!
Suddenly, the Earth Dragon Blood in Jiang Chen's hand trembled slightly.
Jiang Chen was instantly stunned.
And completely bewildered.
'What's going on? Why is the Earth Dragon Blood suddenly acting strangely?'
'This is odd.'
Something this unusual couldn't be a good sign.
Jiang Chen found it strange.
The Earth Dragon Blood in his hand continued to vibrate faintly.
It felt as if it was about to fly out of his hand.
He quickly tightened his grip, not letting it fly away.
But the Earth Dragon Blood began to resist violently.
It seemed to have sensed something that excited it.
No, it was being summoned by something.
Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly.
'What is summoning the Earth Dragon Blood?'
'Strange... it seems to be coming from within my Dragon-locking Realm.'
Jiang Chen quickly stood up and, holding the Earth Dragon Blood, walked in the direction of the summons.
Soon, he arrived at the edge of the Dragon-locking Realm, by the border of the gray mist.
At this moment, the summoning force continued to call out to the Earth Dragon Blood in his hand.
It seemed something within the chaotic mist was related to the Earth Dragon Blood.
He was very surprised. It seemed something was hidden within the Dragon-locking Realm.
This caught him completely off guard.
The Dragon-locking Realm was already extraordinary, and now such a strange event was occurring.
Just as he was feeling startled and uncertain,
suddenly,
ROAR...
A high-pitched dragon's roar suddenly echoed throughout the entire Dragon-locking Realm.
The roar instantly filled the entire space of the realm, and the sound came from within the gray mist.
At the same time, as the dragon's roar appeared, the entire Dragon-locking Realm was instantly enveloped by a terrifying, almost unparalleled pressure.
Jiang Chen's face paled.
'Not good. There's a vicious creature hidden in this Dragon-locking Realm.'
'And it seems to be a member of the Dragon Race.'
From the sound alone, Jiang Chen determined that a dragon was hidden in the Dragon-locking Realm.
'Dragon-locking Realm... to lock a dragon... could it be that there really is a dragon in here?'
He instantly thought about the origin of the Dragon-locking Realm's name.
The dragon's might had already blanketed the Dragon-locking Realm. The Golden-haired Zombie King, the other Zombies, the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf, the Celestial Brown Ridge Python, and the Black King Rat...
...the moment they heard the sound and felt the dragon's might,
they all began to tremble uncontrollably.
It was as if they had sensed a terrifying existence that they were utterly powerless to resist.
THUD...
The first to succumb were the Black King Rat and the Purple-Haired Demon Wolf, followed by the Zombies. Finally, after holding on for a moment, the Celestial Brown Ridge Python also failed to withstand the terrifying dragon's might.
They all collapsed to the ground.
The change was too sudden; Jiang Chen was completely unprepared.
He was also under immense pressure, but he wasn't crushed by the dragon's might.
It wasn't that he was strong, but rather that within Jiang Chen's body was a will from a thousand years ago. This will allowed him to remain calm in the face of any terror.
"A dragon, Master! There's a dragon here."
"Heavens, why do I feel a dragon's might?"
The Celestial Brown Ridge Python exclaimed in alarm, "This is a True Dragon! The might of a True Dragon!"
Both the Zombies and the other Demon Beasts stared in terror toward the area of the gray mist.
Jiang Chen's expression was extremely grim.
This Dragon-locking Realm had unexpectedly turned into a place of terror.
It was actually hiding a real dragon.
"Who's there?"
Jiang Chen stood at the edge of the gray mist and shouted.
He had only just obtained the Dragon-locking Realm and hadn't even had a chance to use it properly before something like this happened.
He also suddenly realized that the seal on the gray mist area of the Dragon-locking Realm was very powerful and seemed to be related to the hidden True Dragon.
And a True Dragon was something that even Jiang Chen, a Divine Emperor expert in his past life, could not have contended with.
Divine Beasts like a True Dragon or a Vermilion Bird had long since surpassed the Divine Emperor realm.
"Brat..."
Suddenly, a slightly weak voice drifted out from the gray mist.
Jiang Chen could tell that the voice was calling out to him.
He quickly steadied his mind, remaining on guard for the True Dragon that might appear.
He asked, "Who are you?"
The other party was silent for a moment before speaking again, "Human brat, since you have obtained my Dragon-locking Realm, it proves you have a great affinity with it."
"This one is a Blood Dragon from the Great Ruins."
"Heh heh, the Great Ruins... a weak little human like you probably wouldn't know of it."
"You are too weak."
"Insignificantly weak."
