Chapter 983 Dragon God
In the air.
Fang Yu frowned as he looked at the black mist in front of him that continued to expand.
How large was the true form of this eight-headed serpent?
However, as the black mist continued to spread, the outline of the great serpent became quite clear.
Eight heads and eight tails.
At this moment, all eight heads and eight tails were swaying slightly.
Fang Yu retreated while using his divine consciousness to fully observe the serpent’s condition.
The expansion process continued for nearly a minute.
When its size finally resembled a hundred-meter mountain, it finally stopped.
Meanwhile, the black mist was slowly dissipating.
Using his divine consciousness, Fang Yu could see many parts of the giant creature before him had already been revealed.
Most of its skin appeared moss-green in color.
But the two heads and two tails in the middle had silver-white skin, with fine scales that glittered with silver light.
Fang Yu could sense the holy power emanating from the great serpent before him.
But this holy power… was not pure.
He could clearly sense that this holy power was mixed with a cold, yin energy.
And this cold energy should have no relation to the divine dragon.
“This is a pseudo-dragon. You don’t even know that?” At this moment, a childish male voice sounded in Fang Yu’s ear.
This voice was very familiar to Fang Yu.
The Fire Jade.
“What do you mean by pseudo-dragon?” Fang Yu asked.
“You really don’t know? How did you even obtain the divine dragon’s essence?” the Fire Jade asked in surprise.
“I know nothing about divine dragons,” Fang Yu said.
“…Pseudo-dragons, as the name suggests, are not true dragons,” the Fire Jade said after a moment of silence.
“You could explain in more detail,” Fang Yu said.
“Back when the dragon clan was at its peak, there were many types of dragons,” the Fire Jade said. “But no matter how well the branch families developed or how powerful they became, there was always only one main bloodline, which was the divine dragon bloodline.”
“Since it’s called a divine dragon, isn’t that normal?” Fang Yu said.
“Divine dragon is not just a name,” the Fire Jade said slowly. “At first, the divine dragon was just an ordinary dragon among many dragon types. But later, it cultivated and attained the Way, achieving the Nine Heavens Divine Body, and only then did it become the god of the dragon clan, what you call the divine dragon! It was because of its rise that the dragon clan reached its peak.”
The Fire Jade’s words shocked Fang Yu.
He had always thought that the dragon clan appeared after the divine dragon. He thought divine dragons were just one type of dragon, with each generation having divine dragons.
But after hearing what the Fire Jade said, he realized… there had only ever been one divine dragon?
“The dragon clan only had this one divine dragon, yet it allowed them to dominate this world for tens of thousands of years. Quite impressive when you think about it,” the Fire Jade said. “After the divine dragon rose to power and took control of the dragon clan, its lineage became the main bloodline of dragons, the direct bloodline.”
“What about the phoenix clan? Were they from the same era?” The Fire Jade seemed willing to talk today, so Fang Yu seized the opportunity to continue asking questions.
“The phoenix clan… didn’t appear as early, and their peak period didn’t overlap with the dragon clan,” the Fire Jade said. “When the divine dragon and phoenix were still around, there was no conflict between the dragon and phoenix clans. They coexisted peacefully for a long time.”
“So conflicts arose later?” Fang Yu asked.
“Hmm… there seem to have been several conflicts,” the Fire Jade answered after thinking.
“Then if the divine dragon and phoenix had already attained godhood, why did they eventually disappear?” Fang Yu asked.
“…I can’t answer that. Perhaps it’s similar to how human cultivators ascend to immortality,” the Fire Jade said after a pause. “Bah! How did I end up talking about so many irrelevant things? Weren’t we discussing pseudo-dragons?”
“Then continue talking about pseudo-dragons. What exactly are they?” Fang Yu asked.
“It’s actually quite simple. They were beings who coveted the powerful bloodline power of the dragon clan and indeed used various methods to obtain some of the divine dragon’s direct bloodline, integrating it into their own bodies, thus causing divine dragon characteristics to appear in themselves,” the Fire Jade said.
“You mean… the great serpent before us did this back then?” Fang Yu asked.
“It was probably its ancestors who did it, considering how many years have passed… Its ancestors found the divine dragon’s direct bloodline, obtained blood containing divine dragon power, integrated it into their bodies, and gradually developed some characteristics of the divine dragon’s descendants,” the Fire Jade said. “Of course, mixed blood is still mixed blood. Such pseudo-dragons, no matter how strong, are limited. They can’t compare to the true direct descendants of the divine dragon, let alone someone like you who possesses the divine dragon’s essence.”
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly.
He was processing what the Fire Jade had said.
There had only ever been one divine dragon, but starting from it, its descendants’ blood all contained holy power.
Even within the dragon clan, only the divine dragon’s direct bloodline contained holy power. Other dragon types did not possess this characteristic.
And the ancestors of the great serpent before him had obtained some blood from the divine dragon’s direct bloodline through some means and integrated it into themselves.
Thus, the great serpent’s blood also contained holy power and possessed some characteristics of the dragon bloodline.
And the characteristics of the dragon bloodline… should be powerful recovery ability and immense strength.
“You said the dragon clan only had one divine dragon, so the divine dragon essence in my body…” Fang Yu asked hesitantly.
“Of course it’s the essence left by this one and only divine dragon!” the Fire Jade said. “Otherwise I wouldn’t have been so shocked back then. After all, my previous masters were all extraordinary individuals, but none of them obtained the divine dragon’s essence… yet you did. Such fortune… is truly rare even in tens of thousands of years.”
“Whoosh…”
Fang Yu wanted to ask more questions, but an extremely cold energy surged from ahead.
“Alright, deal with this pseudo-dragon first. I’ve talked enough today and need to rest,” the Fire Jade said.
After speaking, the Fire Jade’s voice disappeared.
Fang Yu looked ahead.
By now, the black mist covering the great serpent had dissipated.
Its entire body was visible in the air, displayed before everyone on the ground.
Just as in legends, eight heads and eight tails!
The three heads and three tails on each side looked like pythons.
But the two heads and two tails in the middle had deer-like antlers protruding from their heads, with several long whiskers floating in the wind.
The middle two heads looked like dragons.
But all eight heads shared a common feature.
Their eyes.
Their eyeballs were filled with blood-red color, with no visible pupils.
At this moment, all eight heads of the great serpent were staring intently at Fang Yu.
Seeing such a massive creature, Zheng Ze outside the gate turned pale.
And those people in the distant village and those standing on the highway were also scared to the point their legs went weak.
This great serpent… was truly terrifying up close.
Only the people from the Utakawa and Matsuo families below had faces full of reverence and eyes full of fanaticism.
This was the great serpent! This was their family ancestor, a true deity!
It was because of the great serpent’s existence that their four serpent families possessed such a transcendent status today!
…
In the air, Fang Yu looked at the great serpent before him, narrowing his eyes slightly.
This great serpent was too massive; just one eyeball was the size of a boulder.
“Hello there,” Fang Yu said, attempting to communicate with it using his divine consciousness.
“Dragon… aura.”
Fang Yu hadn’t expected to actually receive a response!
The great serpent’s voice was extremely deep; without listening carefully, one couldn’t make out what it was saying.
“Dragon aura? Yes, I do have the dragon’s aura within me,” Fang Yu replied. “What do you want?”
Just as Fang Yu finished speaking, one of the middle heads of the great serpent opened its mouth wide.
“Boom!”
A massive and fierce tornado swept toward Fang Yu!
“Starting a fight in the middle of a conversation, how rude,” Fang Yu said calmly, his eyes flashing with golden light.
“Boom!”
He didn’t dodge but instead charged straight toward the incoming tornado.
A silver light appeared in his right hand.
In an instant, Fang Yu collided with the tornado in mid-air!
“Bang!”
With an explosive sound, Fang Yu’s figure passed through the tornado, directly rushing to the front of this head of the great serpent.
“Whoosh!”
Fang Yu transformed into a golden light, flashing above this dragon-like head, gripping the Heaven Piercing Holy Halberd tightly, and thrusting it downward with great force!
