Ancient Battlefield, Northwestern Region.
Inside the Azure Dragon Hall's inheritance hall of the Four Profound Sects.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble!"
The sea of lightning churned incessantly, countless arcs of electricity flashing within the silver lightning plasma. The entire scene appeared terrifying, but for Lin Dong, who had been in the sea of lightning for half a month, it had become somewhat of a habit.
On this day, Lin Dong was tempering his body in the sea of lightning as usual.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
But at this moment, Lin Dong suddenly noticed that the vast sea of lightning began to churn violently, and it was becoming more and more intense, causing Lin Dong and Little Marten's expressions to change slightly.
Staring down at the sea of lightning beneath him, Lin Dong's pupils suddenly shrank. He saw that within the increasingly deep sea of lightning, there was an extremely large shadow constantly rising.
As the huge shadow grew larger and clearer, the surrounding sea of lightning churned even more violently. A sense of fear in the face of a giant arose from the bottom of Lin Dong's heart.
"Boom!"
Soon, the huge shadow floated up from the depths of the sea of lightning. Finally, with a monstrous wave of lightning exploding, the massive shadow finally appeared above the sea of lightning.
Lin Dong, who had been swept back a distance by the wave of lightning, looked at the behemoth as soon as he stabilized himself.
Lin Dong swore that this was the largest demonic beast he had ever seen in his life. Deep cyan scales covered the body of a behemoth thousands of feet long. The scales, reflecting a metallic luster, exuded a sense of age.
With the appearance of the behemoth, a terrifying pressure spread out, causing Lin Dong to be startled.
"This is... an Azure Dragon?"
Lin Dong, who was originally a little shocked, couldn't help but blink his eyes vigorously after seeing the behemoth in front of him, with a bit of astonishment in his eyes, and vaguely, there seemed to be a slight strangeness.
Azure Dragon, according to Yan, one of the Four Sacred Beasts was the Azure Dragon. That night, although Lin Dong had not seen the Sacred Beast Azure Dragon, he had seen the appearance of the Sacred Beast Vermilion Bird. Lin Dong's first impression was an indescribable beauty, perfect!
And from Yan's mouth, Lin Xuan also clearly knew that the inheritance of the Four Sacred Beasts was still there, which meant that this one in front of him should not be the real Azure Dragon.
"You kid is really stupid, this is just a green dragon!"
Little Marten directly rolled his eyes at Lin Dong. This kid was getting more and more simple-minded, especially during this time, as his relationship with Lin Ke'er became more and more heated, his brain also became more and more dull.
Little Marten suspected that if this continued, this kid would probably only have muscles left in his brain in the future.
'Hmph, less nonsense, watch my Great Desolate Imprisoning Sky Finger!'
In an instant, the picture came to mind. Little Marten quickly shook his head, and in order to divert his attention and remove the picture from his mind, Little Marten directly locked his eyes on the huge Azure Dragon in front of him, licked his lips, and said with a strange laugh.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that there is still a pure-blooded dragon clan Azure Dragon lineage here, it's really a nostalgic taste, tsk tsk!"
Lin Dong couldn't help but glance at Little Marten strangely when he heard this. Could this guy have really eaten a pure-blooded dragon clan before?
"Although the Dragon Clan is powerful and one of the overlords of the demon beast clan, it is not without natural enemies. Its Sky Demon Marten clan, and the Kunpeng clan, especially the Kunpeng clan, have a relationship with the Dragon Clan... Forget it, you will know if you have the opportunity in the future. Anyway, in the demon beast clan, in the end, it still depends on their respective strengths."
At this moment, Yan also floated out faintly. After hearing this, Little Marten, who had always disliked Yan, nodded vigorously, which was rare. His small eyes were narrowed into a slit with laughter, and he could hardly see them.
However, Lin Dong was attracted by the word "relationship" that Yan said, and just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, he saw Yan smile strangely, and then said to Little Marten on the side.
"However, you young Sky Demon Marten are also very bold, hehe!"
"Yan, what do you mean, looking down on Marten Lord? Humph! Marten Lord didn't do less in those years... less..."
Little Marten originally wanted to argue with a look of disdain, but halfway through his words, the entire Marten froze in place. Facing the Green Shirt figure sitting cross-legged on top of the giant Azure Dragon's head, who was staring at it with a smile that was not quite a smile, it chuckled and waved its claws, greeting him.
"That, hey, hello there!"
For some reason, Little Marten felt that this great hall, which was clearly a heritage hall from who knows how many years ago, felt like this guy in front of him hadn't died.
Mainly, Yan's words made Little Marten realize that something was wrong. That was the Ancestral Stone Spirit. Although Little Marten disliked it, it had to admit that the guy was indeed knowledgeable, and his spiritual veins were much wider than Marten Lord's demon veins. Almost everything had to give him face.
Qing Zhi stared at Little Marten with a smile in his eyes, watching Little Marten, who had just been acting like he was the boss, suddenly become submissive. He couldn't help but laugh and tease him.
"Little fellow, why aren't you talking anymore? Did you eat something you shouldn't have back then?"
"Gulp, hehe, nothing, nothing, hehe!"
Little Marten smiled awkwardly, and the claws under his feet quickly hooked Lin Dong's clothes. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
"Lin Dong, help Marten Lord out this time, hurry!"
Lin Dong, who was originally feeling a little numb from the huge Azure Dragon, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Little Marten acting like a clown.
However, as soon as the smile appeared, Lin Dong felt that it was a little inappropriate, and quickly restrained it. He solemnly cupped his fists at Qing Zhi and said softly.
"Junior Lin Dong, greets Senior. Little Marten was just joking, I hope Senior doesn't take it to heart."
"Then do you know that I am the Dragon Clan's Punishment Elder?"
After hearing Qing Zhi's words, Little Marten's whole body trembled. Marten's body didn't stand firm and fell directly down. Just as it was about to fall, Yan reached out and grabbed it, smiling at Qing Zhi, who had already made the Azure Dragon lower its head.
"Alright, Qing Zhi, don't scare this little guy."
"Hmm?"
After hearing Yan's address, Lin Dong instantly turned his head and looked at Yan with a shocked expression. Little Marten even widened his Marten eyes and exclaimed subconsciously.
"Old guy, you know him?"
"I know him, but even I didn't expect that a mixed-blood Dragon Clan member who was only at the Revolving Wheel Realm back then could reach his current strength!"
Yan looked at Qing Zhi's figure, his voice filled with a bit of amazement and emotion.
Time can take away many living beings, but for them, the spirits of divine objects with almost endless lifespans, the long time is like a chronic poison. Separation is always staged in their world.
After Qing Zhi heard Yan's words, a few sighs and complex expressions also rose on his face. Then, he smiled lightly and sighed.
"Yes, even I can't imagine that one day, I would be able to reach this level! Let me introduce myself, my name is Qing Zhi, also known as the Azure Dragon King!"
"Junior Lin Dong, greets Senior Qing Zhi!"
Lin Dong cupped his fists and saluted, saying very politely. Although Yan knew the other party, and he was Yan's master, Lin Dong still had to maintain the respect he should have in the face of this kind of ancient antique who didn't know how many years he had lived.
After all, the strong who can survive from ancient times are all heroes who fought for this world with their lives.
"You don't have to be so polite, and, speaking of which, this is the first time I have the honor to talk to the Ancestral Stone Spirit!"
In front of the Ancestral Stone Spirit, the already refined Qing Zhi seemed even more approachable, which gradually eased the expression of Little Marten, who had been frightened and trembling.
"Azure Dragon King is too polite!"
Although he said polite words, Yan showed a bit of pride towards Little Marten, which made Little Marten grit his teeth.
Looking at Yan, who was like a mischievous child, Qing Zhi tried hard to suppress a smile on his face. If it had been him back then, seeing the current state of the Ancestral Stone's spirit, he would have suspected that the Ancestral Stone's spirit had been controlled by an Otherworldly Demon.
After all, who could have imagined that the Ancestral Stone's spirit, so aloof in his mind back then, would actually be like this?
"Cough cough!"
After coughing lightly twice, Qing Zhi looked at Lin Dong, his face becoming more serious, and said with a solemn expression.
"If ordinary people come here, they can only choose the inheritance of the Azure Dragon Hall. Even you, under normal circumstances, would only have one more choice!"
"What choice?"
Lin Dong asked curiously. Qing Zhi said in a deep voice.
"My inheritance!"
"So, what are you planning now?"
Yan asked directly. Hearing this, Qing Zhi's expression became even more serious, with a hint of solemnity.
"Not long ago, I sensed a special fluctuation. Someone seems to have obtained the inheritance of the Four Sacred Beasts, and the inheritance of the Four Fiend Beasts also seems to have appeared. Therefore, I plan to give both inheritances to you."
"But you must be prepared. Once you accept the two inheritances, it also means that you will face the person who obtains the inheritance of the Four Fiend Beasts. At that time..."
However, to Qing Zhi's surprise, after hearing his words, not only did Lin Dong and Little Marten, two young and ignorant fellows, not change their expressions, but even Yan's face did not show the slightest nervousness.
"Hehe, Qing Zhi, you must remember what you just said!"
Yan chuckled and quickly said, making Qing Zhi confused. He looked at Yan in confusion and asked.
"What words?"
"Qing Zhi, stop pretending to be stupid with me. You just said that you would give the inheritance of the Azure Dragon Hall and your own inheritance to Lin Dong."
Yan waved his hand and said unceremoniously, making Little Marten on the side envious. It actually wanted to be so arrogant too, but it didn't dare. This old monster in front of it was actually the Dragon Clan's Punishment Elder, an existence that could directly dismiss the Dragon Clan's Clan Leader. It couldn't afford to offend him.
"That's right, but he also has to be prepared, otherwise..."
Qing Zhi was still very afraid of the inheritance of the Four Ferocious Beasts. He had only obtained a little bit of legacy from the Sacred Beast Azure Dragon and created the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art, thus breaking through to the Reincarnation Realm. What level could that peerless genius who obtained the inheritance of the Four Fiend Beasts reach?
"You have agreed, as for what you are worried about, hehe..."
Under Qing Zhi's gaze, Yan, who had laughed enough, finally explained.
"Don't worry about this. That person is the Young Clan Leader of this kid's clan. Back then, that monstrous guy directly rejected the inheritance of the Four Sacred Beasts. If there are no accidents, the emergence of the inheritance of the Four Fiend Beasts should also be that monster."
"Moreover, even if, just in case, that person isn't him, hehe, don't worry, the person who obtains the inheritance will definitely look for that monster first."
After hearing Yan's explanation, Qing Zhi's expression couldn't help but become strange. He looked Lin Dong up and down, wanting to say something several times, but he held back.
From Yan's tone, it seemed that that person was quite familiar with Lin Dong and also quite familiar with Yan. However, what Qing Zhi couldn't understand was why a monster who could receive such high praise from Yan couldn't gain the recognition of the Devouring Ancestor Symbol and the Ancestral Stone?
Especially the Ancestral Stone. Judging from Yan's tone, Yan should admire that monster very much, but why is the Ancestral Stone on Lin Dong?
Fortunately, Qing Zhi was relatively polite and didn't ask such impolite questions. He just nodded lightly.
"Since that's the case, both of these inheritances belong to you. Boy, I don't care about the inheritance of the Azure Dragon Hall, but if you don't meet my requirements for my Qing Zhi's inheritance, even if you have obtained the recognition of the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, the Ancestral Stone, and the Black Eyes, I will still take back my inheritance!"
When he mentioned Black Eyes, Qing Zhi's gaze dimmed slightly. In the future, there wouldn't even be anyone to invite him to drink.
Back then, they had agreed to drink together, but when he heard news of the other party again, it was brought to him by another controller of the Devouring Ancestor Symbol.
After hearing Qing Zhi say the name 'Black Eyes', Lin Dong's expression turned slightly serious. In Lin Dong's heart, the old man Black Eyes was like his master. Immediately, he solemnly clasped his fist at Qing Zhi and said in a deep voice.
"Senior, rest assured, Lin Dong will definitely not let you down!"
"Well! Boy, work hard in your cultivation. As the owner of the Ancestral Stone, your performance is still a bit lacking!"
As Qing Zhi spoke, he waved his hand, and a ray of azure light entered Lin Dong's body.
Inside the Azure Dragon Hall, Qing Zhi was slightly tricked by Yan into giving both inheritances to Lin Dong. At the same time, in the Heavenly Demon Plain, far away in the northeastern region, some changes were taking place.
"Boom!!"
The Wind and Thunder Force permeated the area, and at the same time, endless Nirvana Fire rose, enveloping the entire Heavenly Demon Plain, blocking all the powerhouses who wanted to enter the Heavenly Demon Plain to investigate.
However, in the very center of the Heavenly Demon Plain, there was a space that was not affected at all. Within that space, a white-clothed youth was sitting cross-legged in the air, his aura constantly rising, vaguely seeming to stir the energy of the entire space, causing it to surge continuously.
