The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1422

Chapter 1422: Chapter 1418: Seizing the Body Chapter 1422: Chapter 1418: Seizing the Body Ao Zhong staggered toward the blood light, struggling to speak, “Ancestor, can you spare Ao Hong and let me take his place instead?”

“Do you know of my existence?” a voice came from within the bloody vortex.

“I do, our ancestor's heroic spirit has been passed down through generations, and I dare not forget even the slightest detail. Our Father King has just been betrayed by his own clan and was killed in a sneak attack. Please, Ancestor, spare my younger brother and let me replace him,” Ao Zhong said.

“You do care about familial love, unfortunately, although your cultivation level is slightly higher than his, you did not inherit my most pure bloodline. It is your brother who is more suitable for my soul transference. However, you can rest assured, no matter who your enemies are afterward, I will flatten them. It is time for our Dragon Clan to return to its peak,” the aged voice ignited with immense passion.

Ao Zhong wanted to argue more, but a stern voice interrupted him: “Stop talking. I need to concentrate on absorbing this child's divine soul power to replenish myself. If you don't want both you and your brother to be hurt, just shut up obediently.”

“I…” Ao Zhong felt bitter inside and had to remain silent.

The fact that the Ancestor Dragon Soul was sealed within the Sink Blood Nine Chi Pearl was not widely known in the Dragon Palace; it was a secret closely guarded by the Eastern Sea lineage, even unknown to the other Three Sea Dragon Kings.

Ao Zhong had once asked his Father King Ao Guang why not use this strand of Dragon Soul to help the Ancestor reincarnate?

The answer Ao Guang gave at the time was vague, mentioning only that the Ancestor had actually died under the Xuanyuan Sword that year. Reviving him now might not necessarily be a good thing for the Eastern Sea or the Dragon Clan.

Ao Zhong had guessed at the time that perhaps the Ancestor had betrayed them during the battle and was ultimately killed by the Yellow Emperor with the Xuanyuan Sword, which is why their position in the Human and Immortal realms isn't very high.

However, it seems now the reason Ao Guang was reluctant to revive the Ancestor back then was probably that he knew the Ancestor would surely choose the junior with the purest bloodline for reincarnation, once it was the Third Prince Ao Bing, and later it became the Ninth Prince Ao Hong.

But now, he could do nothing but watch helplessly as Ao Hong's soul was taken for reincarnation.

He dared not make any extra move, fearing that one careless act might lead to the failure of the Ancestor's soul transference and also cost Ao Hong his life needlessly.

Meanwhile, Shen Luo, still rigid, stood his ground, listening to the entire conversation between Ao Zhong and the Ancestor Dragon Soul.

As his body contained Dragon Clan blood, he was easily subdued by the opponent and had no ability to resist.

However, the Ancestor Dragon Soul did not absorb his bloodline power.

While puzzled, Shen Luo's mind suddenly shook, and his Sea of Consciousness vibrated violently.

He hurriedly looked inward and saw in the skydome of his Sea of Consciousness, dark clouds surging, thunder and lightning flashing, with two golden light pillars slanting down from above, illuminating him.

Shen Luo's divine soul miniature looked up to see an enormous golden dragon head emerging from the turbulent dark clouds, its golden eyes as large as lanterns, glaring coldly downward as if gazing down at ants.

Two strands of golden dragon whiskers hung from the sky, entwined with golden lightning, causing thunderous roars akin to ten thousand miles of thunder within Shen Luo's Sea of Consciousness.

Looking at the giant dragon that revealed only its head, although Shen Luo knew it was just a divine soul projection and not its real body, his heart was still immensely shocked; the oppressive feeling almost enveloping Heaven and Earth made him feel utterly suffocated.

The golden giant dragon also seemed to feel Shen Luo's fear. Its golden eyes, usually devoid of emotion, shifted slightly. When its dragon mouth opened and closed, it spoke in human language:

“A mere member of the Human Race, though your Sea of Knowledge is vast and your Divine Soul well-coagulated, makes for fine nourishment.”

“Nourishment… You want to devour me?” asked Shen Luo, frowning.

“What if I do? From the moment you came before me and I invaded your Sea of Consciousness, you had no chance at all. It's your destiny to become a stepping stone for the transplanting of my soul on its rebirth, and that is your honour,” the golden giant dragon's voice boomed like thunder.

“Don't try to scare me here. If you were really that capable, you would have directly devoured my divine soul just now, instead of using eloquent words to lure me closer. This clearly shows that your power is insufficient,” Shen Luo coldly laughed upon hearing this.

The golden giant dragon paused at his words, then burst into laughter:

“Haha… You are not stupid. Indeed, the remnant of my Soul Power that helped Ninth Prince Ao Hong block that attack just now has consumed too much of my strength. Had you not approached me, I genuinely wouldn't be able to do anything. But now, unless some external force intervenes strongly, you absolutely cannot escape on your own.”

Regretting his previous carelessness upon hearing this, Shen Luo didn't show any of it on his face but quietly stimulated his Divine Sense, trying to contact Ao Zhong.

“Stop wasting your energy. Your divine soul has already been sealed by me, unable to leave your Sea of Knowledge. As for that junior from the Dragon Clan, he fears involvement for the sake of his clan's interests and dares not act. Just accept your fate obediently,” the golden giant dragon scoffed.

Shen Luo felt frustrated. With his Divine Sense confined, his body controlled, and unable to use his Mana, he had no chance of resisting. He couldn't even send a message to the Town Primordial Great Immortal anymore.

“Elder, your powers are vast; I am convinced. Now that I have fallen into your hands, may I ask if you could spare my life?” he thought swiftly, sighing internally and sitting down cross-legged.

“Keeping you alive is impossible. However, considering your cooperation, I'm willing to leave part of your Divine Sense autonomous so you can watch me revive and reunify the Dragon Clan. If you have any formidable enemies, I wouldn't mind helping you seek revenge. Once you've seen it with your own eyes, I will then erase that wisp of your autonomous divine soul. How does that sound?” the golden giant dragon mockingly smiled as it continued.

“Elder has indeed thought things through. I do have a sworn enemy; can the elder truly achieve what you promise?” Shen Luo asked, his head drooping without looking up.

“Who? Tell me,” the giant dragon asked nonchalantly.

“Demonic Ancestor Chi You,” Shen Luo lifted his head and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the golden giant dragon paused, irritation flickering unconsciously in its golden eyes.

“Joking at such a time? You've got courage. Hand over your divine soul,” the golden giant dragon roared, its vast body diving down.

Shen Luo's diminutive divine soul looked up at the sky, making no movement, as if he had truly given up all resistance.

Seeing this, the golden giant dragon hesitated briefly and then lunged down with its mouth open to devour Shen Luo.

Suddenly, Shen Luo's diminutive divine soul began to chant in a low voice, his hands pressed together, eyes closed in meditation.

As the golden giant dragon's vast body emerged halfway from the clouds, its blood basin-like mouth swallowed Shen Luo's diminutive divine soul. It spiraled downwards, preparing to entirely absorb Shen Luo's Soul Power.

But at that moment, waves of chanting began to resonate throughout the entire Sea of Consciousness space.

The sky of the Sea of Consciousness, previously roiled by the Golden Dragon, was now swirling with deeper dark clouds, the space's entire skydome vibrating, Earth shaking as though on the brink of collapse.
