The dragon clan in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven.
The dragon clan was the main clan for divine dragons. The Blood Dragon Clan aside, Golden Dragons, Devil Dragons, White Dragons, Green Dragons, and Red Dragons were all members of the dragon clan. Among the divine dragons, the Golden Dragons and the Devil Dragonsâ bloodlines were considered as the noblest followed by the White Dragons, Green Dragons, and the Red Dragons.
The dragon clan did not acknowledge the Blood Dragon Clan due to their heretical practice.
Needless to say, the dragon clanâs estate was much bigger than the Blood Dragon Clanâs estate.
At this moment, in the dragon clanâs Prodigy Valley.
âDuan Xiao Hei, Duan Xiao Bai!â
A young man dressed in long golden robes stood across from a black-clad young man and a white-clad young woman. His eyes shone brightly like the twinkling stars in the night sky as he glared at the duo in front of him. Apart from that, he had a commanding air about him as well.
The black-clad young man standing in front of the golden-clad young man was tall and muscular with a handsome appearance. However, his aloof expression and chilly aura made him seem unapproachable.
On the other hand, the white-clad young woman was beautiful. Her long hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and her limpid eyes shone brightly. She looked innocent and pure like untainted fresh snow.
At this moment, the white-clad woman asked with a smile, âJi Yan, are you really going to challenge me and Xiao Hei? If I remember correctly, you were defeated by us 30 years ago, right?â
Upon hearing this, the golden-clad young man scoffed. âAs you said, that was 30 years ago. Thereâs no saying who will be defeated today.â
The white-clad woman smiled and said, âIt seems like youâve become very confident of your strength after going to the Title Temple and becoming a titled Celestial Lord.â
âCut the crap and make your move!â Killing intent rose from the golden-clad young manâs body. His eyes glinted sinisterly before he charged out at lightning speed toward the white-clad young man and black-clad young man.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The black-clad young man and the white-clad young woman moved away, leaving afterimages in their wake.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The air rippled and a series of thunderous explosions rang in the air as the trio collided, shaking the earth.
...
At this moment, one of the disciples of the dragon clan watching from the side shook his head and said, âDuan Xiao Hei and Duan Xiao Bai always gang up on their opponents...â
âNot only are they siblings, but theyâre inseparable as well. Itâs to be expected that they would join forces. Moreover, donât forget theyâre not even 300 years old. It doesnât necessarily mean they have an advantage over Ji Yan just because theyâve joined forces...â
âYou have a point. Even if you add both of their ages together, Ji Yan is still slightly older. However, you shouldnât take Duan Xiao Hei and Duan Xiao Bei lightly. Although theyâre from the mundane realm, after arriving in the clan and soaking in the Ancestor Pool, theyâve transformed into a Nine-clawed Devil Dragon and a Nine-clawed White Dragon respectively. This is rare even in the history of our dragon clan. Before that, when they were in the mundane realm, Itâs said that they were purified by the Legacy Blood Pool in Blood Moon Ridge and were transformed into an Eight-clawed Devil Dragon and an Eight-clawed White Dragon. With that as a foundation, they easily transformed into a Nine-clawed Devil Dragon and a Nine-clawed White Dragon.â
âI heard that the Lord of Blood Moon Ridge came to the clan to receive his reward after the duoâs successful transformation in the mind.â
âThatâs right! It caused quite a commotion back then. Rumor had it that the Lord of Blood Moon Ridge threatened to take the duo away if our clan didnât reward him.â
Despite coming from the mundane realm, Duan Xiao Hei and Duan Xiao Bai had become prodigious disciples in the dragon clan 200 years after joining the clan. They became highly sought after after they transformed into a Nine-clawed Devil Dragon and a Nine-clawed White Dragon. Currently, both their strength was comparable to a titled Celestial Lord. When they joined forces, those who were below the stage of a Celestial Emperor were no match for them at all.
...
At this time, the golden-robe young man, Ji Yan, said in a thunderous voice, âDuan Xiao Hei, Duan Xiao Bai, revert to your true forms!â
In the next moment, an earth-shattering roar rang in the air. At the same time, the golden-clad Ji Yan had also reverted to his true form, a Nine-clawed Golden Dragon that was more than 10,000 meters long. His body was covered with dazzling golden scales that glinted coldly under the light.
Following that, another two thunderous roars rang in the air one after another.
The black-clad young man and the white-clad young woman had also reverted to a Nine-clawed Devil Dragon and a Nine-clawed White Dragon respectively.
The scales of the Nine-clawed Devil Dragon were black and shiny. Its aura was even more chilling than the Golden Dragonâs aura.
On the other hand, the Nine-clawed White Dragonâs white scales shone with a pure and brilliant light.
...
The disciples of the dragon clan looked at the Nine-clawed White Dragon with bright eyes.
âThere are only two Nine-clawed White Dragons in our clan, right? Apart from Duan Xiao Bai, the fourth elder is the only other White Dragon in the clan,â one of the members of the dragon clan said.
âWhy do you think Fourth Elder treats Duan Xiao Bai like one of her own? Didnât you see that the fourth elder has been here since the beginning?â
âSheâs here? Whereâs she?â
âLook! Over there!â
A white-clad figure hovered in the air as she watched the three divine dragons battling in the Prodigy Valley. She was a beautiful woman who was both graceful and elegant. Her eyes were gentle as she looked at the Nine-clawed White Dragon. She was none other than Ji Ning Yun, the Fourth Elder of the dragon clan.
After a moment, one of the disciples exclaimed, âElder Ji Xiang is here as well!â
Ji Xiang, the young woman standing next to Ji Ning Yun, was the youngest elder in the dragon clan.
âMother, Xiao Bai seems to be stronger than you when you were young,â Ji Xiang said with a smile to Ji Ning Yun.
Duan Xiao Bai, a Nine-clawed White Dragon from the mundane realm, was Ji Ning Yunâs only disciple. Ji Ning Yun treated Duan Xiao Bai so well that even Ji Xiang, Ji Ning Yunâs daughter, felt envious.
âThatâs right... I didnât expect a Nine-clawed White Dragon at her age would achieve such feats...â Ji Ning Yun nodded. âFortunately, you met her and Xiao Hei and brought them back. If they had continued staying at Blood Moon Ridge, that old man definitely wouldnât let them come to the dragon clan once he discovered their innate talents.â
Ji Xiang continued to say, âJi Yan obtained his title from the Title Temple a month ago... Itâs said that he had a fortuitous encounter in the Title Temple, hence, his strength had increased tremendously. With his current strength, apart from Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei joining forces, nobody below the stage of a Celestial Emperor is a match for him in the dragon clan.â
âHeâs still no match for Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei even if they donât join forces.â Ji Ning Yun shook her head.
âThis pair of siblings are fast learners. They even mastered the dragon clanâs Joint Strike Technique... When they become Celestial Emperors, itâs likely that theyâll be unrivaled in the dragon clan,â Ji Xiang said with a sigh, âThere are many people in various Devata Realms who have mastered the Joint Strike Techniques... The most prominent ones are the Leaders of the Gan Jiang Progeny and the Mo Xie Progeny in the Jade Emperor Heavenâs Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun. That pair of siblingsâ strength is comparable to a titled Celestial Emperor. When they join forces, theyâre even capable of killing ordinary titled Celestial Emperors. Similar to them, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai are fraternal twins as well... Moreover, theyâre nine-clawed divine dragons. Their future achievements will at least be on par with those two from the Jade Emperor Heaven.â
Based on these words, it was obvious Ji Xiang was very confident about the future of the Nine-clawed Devil Dragon and Nine-clawed White Dragon.
âI have no doubts about that,â Ji Ning Yun said as her eyes narrowed imperceptibly, âWhat Iâm concerned about is if theyâre capable of transforming into ten-clawed divine dragons! It has been almost 100,000 years since a ten-clawed divine dragon appeared in our dragon clan. These two have the highest chances of becoming one.â
âT-ten... Ten-clawed divine dragons?â Ji Xiang said in disbelief as she watched the three nine-clawed divine dragons battling from afar.
After a few rounds, it was clear that the Nine-clawed Devil Dragon and the Nine-clawed White Dragon had the upper hand.
When Ji Xiang regained her senses, she murmured, âAre they really capable of that?â
âYour father, the patriarch, and I have discussed this matter previously. Their chances are high...â Ji Ning Yun said
âFather and the patriarch... think so as well?â Ji Xiang inhaled sharply.
Ji Xiangâs father was the dragon clanâs Grand Elder.
The Patriarch of the dragon clan and Ji Xiangâs father were part of the clanâs three strongest powerhouses.
There were 16 titled Celestial Emperors in the dragon clan. One could imagine how strong Ji Xiangâs father and the patriarch were as the two of the three strongest powerhouses in the dragon clan.
...
Meanwhile, after a dozen rounds, Ji Yan roared in frustration, âDuan Xiao Hei, Duan Xiao Bai... Challenge me to a one-on-one battle if you dare!â
âJi Yan, youâre becoming more and more shameless,â the white-clad young woman looked at Ji Yan with a smile on her face and said, âDonât you think itâs embarrassing for you to challenge us to a one-on-one fight considering our huge age gap? Consider this; were you as strong as us at our age?â
Ji Yanâs expression turned unsightly upon hearing the white-clad young womanâs words. He could not refute her words at all since he knew clearly he was nowhere as strong as they were at their age.
