Chapter 1745: Chapter 1743: The Half-Dragon Lineage
"What is the power of the King of Dragon-Eating Beasts?" Ling Feng asked.
The Dragon Race Seer said, "Itâs of the same realm as the Dragon God, but perhaps due to the decline of its plane, now itâs fallen to the Pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm!"
Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief; a strength at the Pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm is not completely unbeatable!
"Young Master, do not underestimate it!" seeing Ling Fengâs relaxed expression, the Dragon Race Seer said, "From falling from the Immortal Realm to the Pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm, thatâs a completely different concept from an ordinary Pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm!"
Ao Sheng also echoed, "Indeed, a typical Pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm is no match for one thatâs fallen from the Immortal Realm. If the King of Dragon-Eating Beasts awakens and regains its original plane, it can obtain the power of the Immortal Realm, making it even more terrifying!"
Ling Feng was somewhat surprised: "Regain its original plane?"
"Exactly!" Ao Sheng said gravely, "I carefully pondered the Young Masterâs words earlier and realized that the other party is likely trying to awaken the King of Dragon-Eating Beasts and then find its original plane. This way, the King of Dragon-Eating Beasts would have the power of the Immortal Realm and could lead the Dragon-Eating Beasts back to their peak!"
"Wasnât the original plane already..."
"Thatâs just my speculation!" Ao Sheng said, "Everyone, donât forget, in the ancient ruins, the most abundant thing is the fragmentary Small Worlds. If the Dragon-Eating Beasts can gather enough Star Core Power there, they can completely reconstruct the Star Core Power of their plane."
Upon hearing this, everyone couldnât help but stiffen, and Ling Feng also showed a solemn expression.
Although this possibility is quite low, considering Xingyinâs actions, there is indeed this possibility. Moreover, Ling Feng will soon go to the ancient ruins precisely to collect the Star Core Power of the broken Small Worlds there.
"No matter what, we canât let the King of Dragon-Eating Beasts awaken. We must strike while itâs down!" Ling Feng said solemnly, "I have a plan now..."
...
"Lord Yueqiu!" Ling Feng, transformed back into Diga of the M78 Nebula, arrived at the City of Obliteration and found Lord Yueqiu.
"Diga? Shouldnât you be by Xingyinâs side? Why have you returned?" Yueqiu felt a bit strange about Ling Fengâs current transformation.
Ling Feng looked up at Yueqiu, now the mist covering Yueqiuâs face could no longer block Ling Fengâs vision: "Lord Yueqiu, I have something Iâd like to discuss with you!"
"Discuss with me? What about?" Yueqiu chuckled softly.
"Of course, itâs about your grievances with the Dragon Clan!" Ling Feng smiled, "I have always been curious about what Lord Yueqiu truly looks like. Now I finally see through it; it turns out Lord Yueqiu belongs to The Half-Dragon Lineage."
Because on Yueqiuâs forehead, there was a pair of small Dragon Horns.
With a whoosh, Yueqiu stood up from her seat, her voice filled with shock: "You... You can see the Dragon Horns on my head?"
Ling Feng smiled, "Is there any doubt about that?"
The so-called Half-Dragon Lineage actually refers to the descendants borne from the Dragon Clan and other species, only their mothers were Dragon Clan, not the fathers!
This situation is rare because the Dragon Clan is proud, especially the females who are even prouder, hardly considering males of other species besides Dragon Clan members. In their eyes, males of other species arenât worthy of bearing offspring with them!
If a female Dragon Clan member bears offspring with other species, the offspring are known as Half-Dragon and are ostracized by the Dragon Clan. Naturally, Half-Dragons are very rare, but there is a humiliating history in the Dragon Clanâs past.
Back when the Dragon Clan fought against the Dragon-Eating Beast lineage, quite a few Dragon Clan members with mediocre strength were captured. Among them, the female Dragons were gifted to subordinate species by the Dragon-Eating Beast lineage, suffering humiliation and giving birth to numerous descendants known as The Half-Dragon Lineage!
Though called Half-Dragons, they were never recognized by the Dragon Clan, for their existence signifies the Dragon Clanâs shame!
Later, The Half-Dragon Lineage gradually faded away, but Ling Feng never expected that Yueqiu was from The Half-Dragon Lineage!
If not for hearing about the Dragon-Eating Beasts earlier, Ling Feng wouldnât even be aware of The Half-Dragon Lineageâs existence!
"Who exactly are you, and how do you know about The Half-Dragon Lineage?" Yueqiuâs aura surged as she glared at Ling Feng, ready for action.
Ling Feng smiled and then effortlessly shattered the aura Yueqiu had accrued: "Relax, Iâm just here to talk. By the way, I forgot to tell you, the Dragon Clan has already taken action; Rimian is now on guard, so no one here can interfere with our conversation!"
Yueqiu furrowed her brows, "This is the City of Obliteration; believe me, if I give the order, you will have no burial ground!"
"I surely believe that!" Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "But I think Lord Yueqiu wonât be so short-sighted. Moreover, donât you think I wouldnât have prepared a contingency plan coming alone?"
Yueqiu fell silent, her beautiful eyes fixated on Ling Feng: "Reveal your identity? Youâre not really from the M78 Nebula, are you?"
Ling Feng smiled, "Of course not, Iâm called Ling Feng, or you can call me the Dragon Godâs Heir!"
"Dragon Godâs Heir!" Yueqiuâs face showed an expression of shock: "Youâre too bold!"
Ling Feng said, "Without boldness, how can I persuade you?"
"Persuade me?"
Ling Feng nodded: "My purpose for coming is actually to negotiate with you!"
Yueqiu took a deep breath and said coldly, "Between us, thereâs only war with no room for negotiation!"
Ling Feng sighed, "I thought Yueqiu was a very rational person; didnât expect you to be emotionally driven too. Are The Half-Dragon Lineage still angry with the Dragon Clanâs betrayal?"
"Shouldnât we be angry?" Yueqiu said coldly, "Back then, we painstakingly left the Dragon-Eating Beastâs plane, thinking we left the Demon Cave, able to return home. But we were met with the same ostracism and stares of contempt from the Dragon Clan, even being driven out of the Dragon Domain!"
Yueqiu gritted her teeth, "Though I hadnât been born then, I never forget the shame we suffered!"
Ling Feng sighed, "Some members of the Dragon Clan did act excessively back then..."
"Excessively? Can that word alone make everything go away?" Yueqiu said with a sneer, "The Heavenly Daoâs karmic cycle has come around, and now the Dragon Clan is in decline, how could The Half-Dragon Lineage give up this chance to avenge our shame?"
