Chapter 1707: Dragon's Abyss

Vast amounts of dragon blood fell from the sky, mixing in with the sea of blood. All of the worldly natural energy seethed and became much more active than before. All of the experts from the Dragon Race were filled with hope as they shuttled through the sky and the sea, all to search for wisps of Ancestral Blood. Everyone was so busy, they had no time to speak to one another.

Li Luo was no exception. He was using the unique abilities of his Heavenly Dragon bloodline to discover traces of Ancestral Blood. In the time required for an incense stick to burn, he had found four wisps, while some Kings of the Dragon Race were lucky to find one. Despite that, he wasn't content. He could sense that evolving the Dragon Blood Atavism Art into a Transcendent Art would require a large amount of Ancestral Blood, and the wisps he was finding were a little thin.

Li Luo's gaze pierced through the rain of blood as he locked on to the tall and well-endowed Zhen Linshuang. Her long, platinum hair dappled in the storm, creating an eyecatching sight. Zhen Linshuang, Ao Yan, and the Triple Crowned Kings of the Dragon Race would not remain within the second layer. Although they grabbed a few wisps of Ancestral Blood along the way, their focus was still the third layer. Clearly, the third layer was the true core of this event.

Li Luo could sense that if he wanted his Dragon Blood Atavism Art to become a Transcendent Art, he would only be able to achieve it in the third layer. Approaching the next layer, he could also sense that Zhen Linshuang and the rest were keeping track of him. It was a silent warning for him to stay away.

He coldly snorted as his gaze flickered. He then transmitted a message to Li Tianji and Lin Miao. "Friends, I'll be entering the third layer. If you lend me a hand, I'm willing to pay you two wisps of Ancestral Blood as a reward. If I gain anything on the third layer, you'll also get a share of it."

The other party had Zhen Linshuang, a Supreme Triple Crowned King; Ao Yan, a peak Triple Crowned King; and Jin Zhang and Lu Song, two ordinary Triple Crowned Kings. Li Luo would definitely find it difficult to escape their entrapment if he took them all on alone.

Li Tianji casually replied, "We're family, so there's no need to ask in such a formal manner. I will do my best to escort you, so just go ahead."

Li Luo's family was currently the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's trump card. As the Mountain Ruling Chief, Li Tianji would naturally be willing to aid them and ensure that their future would be flourishing.

Lin Miao sighed deeply and paused for a few moments before giving a smile. "Since it's Federation Chief Li Luo asking, I'll naturally do my best to help."

Li Luo was a renowned individual throughout the ten divine continents. Both his potential and background were frightening to behold, and an opportunity to develop goodwill with someone like him could not be passed up. As the Imperial Beast Hall's Supreme Hall Master, Lin Miao had to consider the bigger picture. Even if his actions would offend the Dragon Race, it didn't really matter, as they never had much interactions to begin with.

"Thank you!" said Li Luo smiled as he flicked his finger. Two wisps of dark yellow Ancestral Blood that had not been absorbed shot towards Li Tianji and Lin Miao. Although they had said that there was no need to compensate them, he couldn't really let them work for free. There was no reason to reject his gift, so they immediately collected the blood. Li Luo decided not to linger in the second layer and increased his speed, streaking through the rain as he made his way into the depths of the Myriad Dragons Necropolis.

In just a few short moments, he caught up to the figures at the fore. It was at this point that he saw that the sea of blood actually had an end. That location was an abyss so deep that one couldn't see its bottom. Boundless waves of energy originating from Ancestral Blood could be felt within that abyss. This was the so-called Dragon's Abyss. This was the location of the third layer!

Li Luo's gaze heated up. However, when Zhen Linshuang saw that Li Luo had caught up, her beautiful visage turned chilly. Li Luo was truly audacious! He wasn't content with the second layer and even planned to take true Ancestral Blood from the third layer.

"We gave you an inch, then you asked for a mile!" Zhen Linshuang said coldly as she glared at Lu Song and Jin Zhang. After which, she stepped forward, appearing above the abyss.

Lu Song and Jin Zhang bellowed with ear-rending force as their bodies distorted, transforming into gigantic scarlet and gold dragons that were hundreds of thousands of feet long. Immediately after, raging crimson flames and destructive golden light blasted towards Li Luo.

Li Luo completely ignored them as he pierced through the void, rushing towards the abyss. Li Tianji appeared behind him, exploding with boundless golden light. His elderly figure transformed, and he took the form of a Golden Dragon that was no smaller than Jin Zhang! This was his Golden Dragon resonance. The two Golden Dragons immediately began to battle over the sea of blood, their ferocious assault creating tsunamis that crashed all around them.

Lin Miao also took the initiative to activate his Poison Dragon resonance, turning into a giant grayish-black dragon. He then exhaled a poisonous fog, destroyed the flames in the sky with his venom-dripping claws, and dove right at the Scarlet Dragon.

Four Triple Crowned Kings were now exchanging blows, each action capable of rending the heavens and pulverizing the earth. Li Luo took this opportunity to rush towards the abyss. As long as he entered the third layer, he could move away from Zhen Linshuang. She would likely not give up on the opportunity to obtain the precious Ancestral Blood and would thus leave him alone in order to maximize her chances of finding it.

However, just as Li Luo reached the end of the sea of blood, he sensed danger. When he looked forward, he saw Zhen Linshuang standing at the edge of the sea, above the abyss and staring right at him. That tyrannical dragon had not rushed to enter the third layer and was instead waiting at the door for him. Li Luo couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"Li Luo, for Grandmother Zhen Fu's sake, I'll ask you this just one time. Do you wish to take a step back?" she coldly asked.

"Chieftain Zhen, I'm not asking for too much. Why must you act in such a domineering fashion? Why must you obstruct me?" Li Luo asked gloomily.

Zhen Linshuang pursued her fiery red lips. If it were someone like Li Tianji or Lin Miao entering the third layer, she wouldn't care in the slightest. Li Luo was different, however—his Heavenly Dragon bloodline was extremely pure and dense, so he posed a real threat to her.

"If you wish to be stubborn, you can't blame me for being domineering," she said, her eyes glinting with frosty light. She then stretched out her slender arm and slowly clenched her fingers, forming a fist that exuded a desolate and berserk aura. The moment the fist was fully formed, the void around it shattered like broken glass, as though this simple act had created a black hole.

"If you wish to enter the third layer, then you'll have to take one of my punches!" Her bonechilling words echoed out as she struck out mercilessly.

Weng!

The entire world seemed to shudder at the sheer might of her fist, and countless draconic roars were suppressed into silence. An overbearing fist manifestation containing the power to annihilate the world descended from the sky, sealing off the space around Li Luo and ensuring he could not escape. Li Luo's expression turned solemn at this moment. Zhen Linshuang was undoubtedly an extraordinary expert, and speaking purely in terms of her physical strength, she was the undisputed number one below Heavenly Emperors.

Li Luo took a deep breath, and the Absolute Resonance Halo appeared in the air behind him, revolving slowly. The supreme ninth-grade Heavenly Dragon resonance was formed, and the Empyrean Resonance Tree of Authority appeared between his brows. At the same time, his body rapidly expanded and violet-gold light spilled out in every direction as he transformed into a titanic Heavenly Dragon. The primordial aura of a Heavenly Dragon burst out of him without reserve.

"Transcendent Art, Spectral Divine Illusion Clones!"

he shouted in his heart. He split into three, and all three Heavenly Dragons spat out a torrent of dragonbreath in response to the fist manifestation that was bearing down on him.

Weng!

When the two sides clashed, the heavens and earth collapsed and even the sea was flattened. Li Luo could deeply feel how terrifying and overbearing this tyrannical dragon's power was. His violet-gold dragonbreath, which contained the power of Authority, was swiftly being dissipated by the fist manifestation of destructive will, showing just how difficult it was to deal with Zhen Linshuang.

Bang!

As the fist manifestation pressed down, two of the Heavenly Dragons were destroyed, turning into motes of light. Only one Heavenly Dragon was left to bitterly endure.

"Li Luo, there's no need to continue this pointless struggle. If you retreat now, I'll spare your life." Zhen Linshuang's arms were crossed, pressing down on her chest. At the same time, her platinum hair fluttered in the wind as she coldly watched the final struggling Heavenly Dragon.

However, her words were met with no response. She coldly harrumphed, no longer hesitating. Her fist manifestation pressed down with even greater weight, accompanied by a loud roar as it directly suppressed the final Heavenly Dragon and dove into the depths of the sea of blood. A gigantic depression was formed within the waves as a result. The final Heavenly Dragon had turned into motes of violet-gold light, which dumbfounded her and made her furrow her eyebrows. "A clone?"

Zhen Linshuang turned her head and saw a barely discernable illusory figure rushing into the Dragon's Abyss. Li Luo had secretly slipped past her and was now about to enter the abyss before her! "Li Luo!" she shouted.

That crafty fellow was well aware that he wasn't Zhen Linshuang's opponent and thus had chosen to mislead her. He had made full use of his illusion resonance to hide and enter the third layer. Zhen Linshuang had been taken for a ride and was seething with anger.

"Li Luo! You better stop right there!" she roared furiously, causing the sky to shake.
