Supreme of the Heavenly Realm

The seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Xuan finally recovered. With the aid of the Dragon Essence Pill, the netherworld energy within him was completely expelled, with not a trace remaining.

However, after this, Ye Xuan decided not to recklessly use the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone again; the cost of using it was simply too high.

When the seventh day arrived, the entire Dragon Clan seemed to become much more lively. The opening of the Ancestor Dragon Pool was a significant event within the Dragon Clan. After all, the Ancestor Dragon Pool was a holy land for the Dragon Clan, which was no small matter for the entire clan.

Ye Xuan felt quite excited for this day as well, as his cultivation had reached a bottleneck. To break through once more and advance to the Martial Emperor Realm, he had to enter the Ancestor Dragon Pool to absorb the Ancestor Dragon's Energy for any hope of reaching that level.

Under Ao Wuxu's guidance, the two headed straight to the deepest part of the Dragon Domain. In that depth, a thick and ancient atmosphere permeated the air, a place preserved from ancient times unchanged.

Ye Xuan's figure skimmed across the sky, his eyes subtly sweeping over the vast deep mountains. Vaguely, in the depths, he seemed to detect a few extremely obscure yet indescribably powerful auras, but these senses faded after just a moment, and no matter how much Ye Xuan probed, he found nothing further.

Ye Xuan secretly clicked his tongue. If his guess was correct, those auras should belong to the old monsters of the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan's ability to stand at the pinnacle of the Western World's Demon Clan was indeed terrifying.

At this moment, there were streams of light occasionally passing by in the sky around them, and occasionally, dragon roars echoed. The giant dragon figures, rarely seen in the outside world, were visible everywhere here.

All heading towards the deepest part of the Dragon Domain, clearly aiming for the Ancestor Dragon Pool. Though few can enter it, witnessing the baptism of the Ancestor Dragon Pool was an honor.

"We're almost there."

After another ten minutes of flight, Ao Wuxu suddenly spoke up, his expression becoming more solemn. To them, the people of the Dragon Clan, the Ancestor Dragon Pool was akin to a holy site.

Ye Xuan's expression also grew heavier upon hearing this. He raised his head, his gaze set distantly. His eyes then focused, noticing the sky distant from them showing signs of distortion.

"Forbidden Flying Zone?"

As Ye Xuan observed the distorted sky, he suddenly felt his body grow heavy. This space seemed more viscous, significantly slowing his speed.

"Ye Xuan, we cannot fly around the Ancestor Dragon Pool; we must walk," Ao Wuxu reminded, then descended, tapping his toes, leaping a hundred feet, then landing and launching himself again. Seeing this, Ye Xuan hurriedly followed suit.

In this flea-like manner, after a few minutes, the two of them landed on a mountain peak, gazing ahead. Before them was a basin surrounded by mountains, and there, encircled by towering peaks, a massive black deep pool came into Ye Xuan's view.

Everything around this deep pool seemed to become strangely sharp due to the energy within it.

"That's our Dragon Clan's Ancestor Dragon Pool," Ao Wuxu pointed to the massive black pool, his expression devout, as this water was rumored to have been created from the first dragon in the world's dissolution. The entire Dragon Clan had gradually grown based on the Ancestor Dragon Pool.

Ye Xuan focused his gaze. Above that black pool, a magnificent light array floated and fluctuated. Beams of light descended, sealing the entire pool, yet terrifying energy still leaked out, twisting the sky above and thickening the spiritual energy for miles, making flying impossible.

"The Ancestor Dragon Pool, why do I not feel the presence of the dragon?"

Ye Xuan looked at the vast pool before him but felt nothing of the dragon's presence amidst its immense energy.

"You'll find out soon."

Ao Wuxu gave a mysterious smile.

Ye Xuan nodded, lifting his gaze to see the distant mountain tops crowded with people. On the main peak, Ao Feng and others were already standing.

As Ye Xuan looked over, Ao Feng noticed him, smiling at him before gazing around, saying in a deep voice, "Next, we'll open the Ancestor Dragon Pool. For those entering, be mindful that although the pool's energy can stimulate bloodlines, the Ancestor Dragon's Energy is not something anyone can endure. Should one lose consciousness, their body will be overwhelmed by the energy and become part of the Ancestor Dragon Pool."

"So if you can't endure it, abandon it immediately!"

Ye Xuan listened to Ao Feng's words, his expression solemn. In this world, there is no such thing as effortless power; to gain it, one must endure a price others cannot.

Clearly, this step also involves considerable risk.

"Do you all understand?" Ao Feng looked at Ye Xuan and another Dragon Clan elder.

"Yes." The two nodded upon seeing this.

Ao Feng then turned to the Dragon Clan elders behind him, waving his hand, "Open the Ancestor Dragon Pool."

"Yes!"

Three Sealing Emperor level Dragon Clan elders responded in deep voices, then with a flourish of their sleeves, three beams of energy shot out from their hands, directly into the array covering the Ancestor Dragon Pool.

Buzz!

With their urging, the array slowly began to spin. The threads of light veiling the energy fluctuations of the Ancestor Dragon Pool dissipated one by one.

Ao Feng pointed a finger forward, sending a beam of golden light into the array. The array roared, the light array ascending slowly before abruptly dissipating a thousand feet above the pool.

Whoosh!

As the array dissipated, everyone immediately saw a pillar of pitch-black light burst forth from the Ancestor Dragon Pool, shooting into the sky, shattering the space there.

The heaven and earth suddenly filled with violent winds as countless ancient dragon roars seemed to echo from the Ancestor Dragon Pool, resonating across the heavens and earth.

All those of the Dragon Clan lowered their eyes, faces reverent as they listened to the ancient dragon roars.

Roar!

A dragon's roar burst skyward. The next moment, a transparent giant dragon shot out from the pool, soaring through the sky.

Dragon roars echoed around. The giant dragon had two horns on its head, stretched ten thousand feet long. Its body was purple and gold, surrounded by a five-colored halo, born with five claws.

The Ancestor Dragon Soul.

Ye Xuan felt the blood in his veins surging wildly. Before this Ancestor Dragon, it boiled. This dragon soul before him, a remnant soul of the ancestor of all dragons.
