Chapter 1710: Desire Devil King of Sin

"What?! The ceremony is in chaos?" Li Luo shouted when he received Li Hongyou's message, his heart shaking and his expression solemn. This was because he could smell the familiar stench of a conspiracy brewing.

"How's the situation outside?" he asked.

Li Hongyou paused as though she was having difficulty speaking, then she stammered, "Many Dukes in the outer areas of the blood rites have been corrupted by an evil force. Those with weaker wills were having intercourse... in public."

Li Luo's expression stiffened as the image of giant dragons engaging in passionate activities appeared in his mind. The corners of his mouth twitched. It was almost incomprehensible that such a momentous ceremony would devolve into such absurdity and chaos. If word of this were to get out, the entire Dragon Race would turn into the laughing stock of everyone else.

He was then reminded of the dark red strand of source origin he had refined from the Ancestral Blood.

"This must be desire source origin at work!"

Li Luo thought. It was well known that the Dragon Race was lustful, especially when it came to the more ordinary members, who acted very unscrupulously. This had led to the creation of many new bloodlines. That was why such a type of source origin would be extremely poisonous to them.

"This dense and vast desire source origin is not something an ordinary Triple Crowned Devil King can produce."

Li Luo's mind spun as he considered the possibilities. He was then reminded of the information the Radiant King had given him previously. He muttered in surprise, "This sort of strength... should belong to one of the Ten Devil Kings of Sin! The Desire Devil King of Sin!"

That was one of the strongest Triple Crowned Devil Kings in the Shadow World. Only an entity at the absolute peak of the Triple Crowned Devil King Stage, a Supreme King, could cause such a disturbance.

"It looks like the Shadow World has been eyeing the blood rites of the Dragon Race. However, even if the Desire Devil King of Sin has personally taken action, it is very difficult to quietly corrupt the blood rites. The Dragon Race is under Zhen Linshuang's protection, and she is on the same level as the Desire Devil King of Sin."

Li Luo frowned as he said to the void, "Senior Hongyou, can you quickly send a message to Zhen Linshuang to take action? She needs to deal with the Desire Devil King of Sin."

Li Hongyou swiftly replied, "We have lost contact with Chieftain Zhen. The two elders are unable to communicate with her, so we want to ask you to head over and investigate what has happened."

"What? You lost contact with Zhen Linshuang?" Li Luo replied, completely taken aback. What was she doing? How could she disappear at such a crucial moment? That tyrannical dragon was truly unreliable!

"Did something happen on her side?" Li Luo's brows were knitted together. Everything happening here was completely unimaginable to him. He could tell that this was a ploy of the Shadow World, and it was likely orchestrated by the Origin Reversion Institute. Clearly, their goal was to deal a blow to the Dragon Race. The foundation and strength of the Dragon Race made it a crucial pillar in dealing with the Shadow World. Thus, dealing a blow to the Dragon Race would be extremely beneficial to the enemy.

"I'll go take a look," said Li Luo after pausing for a few moments before. Although he didn't like Zhen Linshuang and her arrogant and overbearing behavior, she was still a peak expert of the divine continents. If something happened to her, it would cause irreversible harm to their forces. The withering glory resonance would soon reveal itself, and the Ten Devil Kings of Sin would descend in numbers to claim it. That would be the most decisive battle thus far in the Ten Years of Heavenly Fate.

With that in mind, Li Luo set off. Receiving Li Hongyou's directions, he shot towards the central region of the Dragon's Abyss with utmost speed, leaving behind a trail of light.

......

Dragon's Abyss center region, at the giant altar.

Ao Yan was standing with his hands behind his back nearby. He was quietly watching Zhen Linshuang absorb Ancestral Blood with her eyes shut. Gradually, feelings of hatred and crazed violence surfaced in his eyes. He then took a step forward, vanished, and reappeared on the altar.

"Zhen Linshuang, there's no need to act any longer. You should have already sensed that something isn't right," Ao Yan said with a smirk.

Zhen Linshuang opened her eyes, her alluring gaze filled with furious killing intent. However, beneath the murderous emotion were also her desires being suppressed. Her bone-chilling voice echoed, her killing intent causing the void to shake. "Ao Yan, what have you done to the altar? This is the Desire Devil King of Sin's power. I never would have thought that the Grand Elder of the Dragon Race would consort with the Shadow World. The three Supreme Ones of the Dragon Race will not let you off. The Black Dragon tribe will also be punished and held responsible for your betrayal."

Even when faced with her threat, Ao Yan looked indifferent as he responded, "Do you think I would care about all that after coming this far?"

"You're insane!" Zhen Linshuang retorted in anger, gritting her teeth.

"Insane? Well, isn't this your fault?" said Ao Yan, grinning. "You, a revered Heavenly Dragon, have never respected me. Even when I became the Grand Elder, you've only looked at me with revulsion and contempt. It's the same look you give to a loyal and humble dog. Despite having reached such heights, you've never looked me in the eye even once. I know that you think my bloodline is worthless and that talking to me might taint your noble bloodline. Zhen Linshuang, your condescending and pompous demeanor is truly disgusting."

Zhen Linshuang's expression was frozen stiff. Ao Yan's crazy words had infuriated her further.

"Furthermore, perhaps you might have already forgotten, but you punished an old black dragon a few hundred years ago," continued Ao Yan, his gaze now filled with hatred.

Zhen Linshuang frowned and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Ao Yan's smile deepened as he softly said, "That was my father. He had inadvertently taken a bath in your favorite lake and then you banished him into the Abyss of Hatred, where he was forced to suffer from the evil winds day and night. In the end, all of his scales were shattered by the scourging wind, resulting in him turning into a dessicated corpse."

At this point, Zhen Linshuang remembered what this was about, and her expression changed slightly. She responded, "I merely exiled him there for three years as a minor punishment. It was not permanent. Someone clearly tampered with my commands. Ao Yan, the Origin Reversion Institute has made a fool out of you!"

Ao Yan's eyes were filled with indifference as he said, "None of that matters anymore. After all, he's dead."

Zhen Linshuang's eyes turned cold. She knew that continuing this conversation was pointless. At the next moment, her long, platinum hair fluttered in the wind and a terrifying aura burst out of her like an endless ocean as she said, "Ao Yan, considering the fact that you've worked hard to reach where you are now, I will lighten your punishment if you choose to stop now."

Faced with her heaven-shaking aura, Ao Yan's lips curled up mockingly. "Zhen Linshuang, there's no need to continue acting. Do you know how many years I've spent preparing for this day? I personally supervised the construction of this altar, and every rune was drawn with the blood of the Desire Devil King of Sin. I truly have to thank the Origin Reversion Institute for their support, as they allowed me to cover this up perfectly. Every single droplet of Ancestral Blood you absorbed has been deeply tainted with corruption. Thus, the poison has long infiltrated every cell of your body. The more you rouse your Heavenly Dragon bloodline, the quicker it will act. Furthermore, the Desire Devil King of Sin is watching over this location."

Zhen Linshuang raised her head, her gaze piercing through the abyss into the sky above the Dragon's Domain. She saw a crimson eye that resembled a bloody moon, emitting vast amounts of desire source origin.

Ao Yan inspected every inch of Zhen Linshuang's well-endowed figure, and his smile turned increasingly demented and vicious. "Your greatest source of pride is your Heavenly Dragon bloodline, and you see the Black Dragon bloodline as inferior, don't you? Today, your noble bloodline will be polluted by mine! Let's see if you will dare to act so arrogantly in the future!"
