Chapter 680: Taking Back the Gift
The soul energy pointer that Di Changan took out at this time was naturally the one that Shen Zheng had given to Yu Cang!
It was previously known that Shen Zheng should be a member of the Desolate Sect, and this soul energy pointer was most likely made specifically to lure Yu Cang.
After such a long time, Yu Cang almost forgot about the Soul Energy Pointer. But now that Di Changan brought it up again, Yu Cang was stunned for a moment before he understood the reason.
The real purpose of the Desolate Sect's attack on the Cang family is to lure Ren Zheng. On this basis, this soul energy pointer must not only not be fake, but must be as real as possible!
The purpose is to let Ren Zheng see the real news about Yu Shuhong and Mu Xuezhi, so as to lead him to the place where the real dragon will die.
When Yu Cang thought of this possibility, he immediately asked, "So now this soul energy pointer is pointing into the space fragment?"
Di Changan nodded.
"Naturally—I spent a moment sensing the soul energy within this pointer and discovered that its ultimate location is within the spatial fragment, or rather... within the 'Desolate Heaven'."
Because the Youhuang Heaven Realm has been broken into countless small pieces, the fragments here are completely chaotic in "space", so once the soul energy pointer enters here, it will float around.
If an ordinary person held this pointer, he would probably be confused and have no idea where it was pointing. And Di Changan... naturally couldn't understand it either.
After all, this pointer is indeed something made by a sixth-level card maker, and its upper limit is fixed.
The principle of the pointer is that it contains a wisp of the target soul card master's soul energy. Di Changan first distinguished all the details of this wisp of soul energy, and then relied on the mythical powerful perception ability to locate it, so that he could conclude that the target was in the Youhuang Heaven Realm.
This is simply the power of flying bricks... It is a waste of the mythical ability to do this, but it is worth it for Yu Cang to do so.
Hearing this, Yu Cang's eyes were first surprised, and then became complicated.
Di Chang'an seemed to know what he was thinking, so he said, "Don't be sad. Although this needle is real, not every movement can be trusted. At least in my perception, the owners of these two soul energies should always be in the Netherworld Heaven Realm, but the needle often points to other places."
Yu Cang's eyes moved slightly, and then he nodded slightly.
He understood what Di Changan meant... The pointer was real, but even if it was real, it might be fake.
For example, at Zulong Snow Mountain, Shen Zheng said that because the pointer pointed to Zulong Snow Mountain, he went to the snow mountain to find out... This direction might be false.
After all, they created the pointers, so it should be easy to make a fake "target".
His parents probably never left the Youhuang Heaven Realm from beginning to end.
He had actually been thinking that if the pointer was real, he would have started using it to find clues about his parents earlier.
But after being reminded by Emperor Chang'an, he realized that if he did not have the ability to perceive and judge myths, then holding this idea would be just a joke for the Desolate Sect.
Take a deep breath and keep these thoughts in your mind.
And, at this moment.
Yu Cang's personal terminal suddenly vibrated.
He took out the terminal and looked at it, his expression suddenly became strange.
Di Changan: "What's wrong?"
"...Myth, I have an informant in the Desolate Sect."
…
True Dragon's Death Place
Ren Zheng and the other two stood on the back of Lei Wanqing's violent thunder eagle and slowly flew over the sky above the real dragon's death zone.
A super-level legendary summoned beast can easily reach dozens of times the speed of sound, not to mention the extremely fast-paced Thunder Eagle.
But at this moment, their speed was as slow as a turtle. If you didn't look carefully, you would think that this big bird with lightning wrapped all over its body was just floating in place and not moving forward.
This is naturally because they have already felt the resistance of the Dawn and Dusk Barrier.
Lei Wanqing stood at the front, looking down with an extremely solemn expression.
"This should be... Dragon Burial Pit No. 5, right?"
Ancient books say that the Emperor Zulong collected rare treasures from all over the world and cast them into twelve true dragons. The twelve dragon burial pits where the true dragons died correspond to these twelve treasures.
Now, standing on a high place and looking down, one can easily see that on the ground, countless "wild beasts" are crawling on the earth like zombies. No, not just like, but zombies!
Those wild beasts are species that can only be seen in the True Dragon's Death Land. They are eroded by the power of the True Dragon's Death Land and turned into "dragon servants". From then on, they no longer have normal desires and emotions, and can only wander unconsciously on the earth!
And in the very center of the earth, there lies the corpse of a huge, winding real dragon.
Although the body of the true dragon was already in tatters, with bones visible in some places, it seemed to still be alive, swimming across the earth...
If you look closely, you can find that it is not the real dragon itself that is swimming, but it is being held up by the countless dragon servants beneath it, moving forward like a "dragon dance"!
The body of the real dragon was as winding as a mountain range, and there were tens of thousands of dragon servants under it. Obviously, these were the twelve real dragons cast by the Zulong Emperor from the rare treasures he collected.
The real dragon's eyes were tightly closed, and two turbid, wind-dried tear marks were like a dry riverbed, rolling over the surface of the withered and yellow dragon scales, adding a touch of sadness to the whole scene.
This is not an exaggeration. Compared with the huge size of the real dragon, the two tear marks are as wide as big rivers!
“…Exactly.”
Ren Zheng on the side also spoke solemnly.
As a guardian of the country who grew up in an ancient capital, he also has the rare dual attributes of light and dark. Naturally, he has been to the place where the real dragon died to collect materials.
The scene before him was extremely familiar to him.
The corpse of a real dragon weeping... The scene before us was the inspiration for the "Dead Dragon Skeleton" created by Yu Shuhong and Mu Xuezhi!
As the name suggests, the meaning of "Zhensi Longzhai" is "the real dragon skeleton that suppresses death."
This so-called dragon burial pit refers only to the dragon corpse's extremely distorted field of death-suppressing dragon power.
There are twelve true dragons, and each one is beyond the limit of the legendary power. With the direct influence of the power of the Ancestral Dragon Emperor, they can even directly erase the concept of "death" within the range of dragon power!
The impact on the Soul Card Master is that when in it, the summoned beasts cannot enter death cooldown or disconnect. At the same time, the Soul Cards in death cooldown can never leave the cooling state.
However, the injuries sustained by the summoned beast will not disappear.
In this way, the summoned beasts on the field become weaker and weaker, and their status cannot be refreshed. In order to maintain their combat effectiveness, they have to summon new soul cards, and the mental pressure will become higher and higher until they can no longer bear it.
Soul cards that are on death cooldown are difficult to become resources...If this continues, the combat effectiveness of soul card masters will only become weaker and weaker.
Simply put, the soul cards in the "on the field" and "death cooling" areas are locked, and their status cannot be changed.
Like Qiu Jindong, the system that requires the death cooling soul card to jump back and forth to refresh resources will be directly useless here.
Therefore, basically no one can stay in the real dragon's death place for too long. Once the time is up, they must leave and take a break.
Moreover, this death-killing dragon's might is not only effective on Soul Cards, but Soul Card Masters will also be affected!
Here, wounds are difficult to heal. If you don't leave, even the smallest wound will cause the Soul Card Master's condition to deviate towards death...
The wound was so extensive that it even included mouth ulcers!
However, death does not exist here. Therefore, Soul Card Masters can only be infinitely close to death, but cannot truly die... This sounds good, but once you have too many wounds and are completely eroded by the power of the True Dragon Death Land, you will be directly "captured" here!
At that time, you will become part of the "dragon servants" who carry the dragon corpse on the ground, and you must endure eternal labor under this sky that does not distinguish between day and night.
Even if you find a way to leave the Dragon Burial Pit... then the concept of death will take effect on you again, and you will die instantly.
Fighting in the deadly place of the real dragon is tantamount to seeking death!
Ren Zheng looked at Lei Wanqing. The old man's brows were tightly furrowed, and cold sweat seemed to be visible on his brows.
"How are you? Are you okay?"
"Of course, it's none of your business!"
Lei Wanqing said directly.
They were flying very slowly now, partly because they were affected by the twilight barrier.
The Death Place of True Dragons is considered as the "territory" of the Ancestral Dragon Emperor. The twelve corpses of true dragons seem to form some kind of formation, which completely seals off the Death Place of True Dragons. There are only a few passages for entering and exiting, and some places can only be entered but not exited.
Different dragon burial pits have their own small dawn and dusk barriers, and some other legendary "dragon servants" that are half-separated from real dragon corpses also have similar barriers. The layers of nesting make the environment here extremely complex.
When flying in the sky, you will be blocked by the morning and evening barrier at every moment and cannot fly fast at all.
The second reason... is that they dare not disturb the real dragon below!
For thousands of years, the real dragon has been unable to die and has accumulated too much resentment. With nowhere to vent that resentment, it will attack every living being it finds equally, and want to drag all living beings into the same half-dead state as itself!
Although the two of them are guardians of the country and are not afraid of conflict with the real dragon, no one wants to fight here unless it is necessary.
After flying forward for a while, Lei Wanqing had more cold sweat on his forehead.
“Damn it…”
"What's wrong?" Ren Zheng also frowned. "It's already this late, don't be so stubborn... If you can't hold on, the three of us will be finished."
"I'm not being stubborn." Lei Wanqing gritted his teeth, "But I... I'm lost..."
This is normal.
The dragon corpse below is held up by dragon servants and moves irregularly on the ground, so the dragon burial pit is also constantly moving... The distance of this movement may be exaggerated in both span and speed.
Last year, a dragon burial pit was even moved directly to the Zulong Snow Mountain for unknown reasons, leading to the birth of an evil dragon.
Because of this, the internal environment of the True Dragon's Deathland is changeable and complex, and no one can find an absolutely safe passage.
Hearing this, Ren Zheng was silent for a moment.
Although he has resonance with light and dark attributes, he has no real advantage in finding the way.
When I came to the True Dragon's Death Land to train in the past, I could start to gain insights here. Going deeper would not find a stronger rhythm, but the danger level would increase exponentially.
Once you get lost, you can never get out...so, he has no experience.
Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at the card ban consultant this time: "Do you have any ideas?"
Cheng Mingye had a confident smile on his face——
shook his head.
"I got lost earlier than my predecessors."
Ren Zheng: “…”
So what are you confident about?
He sighed.
This is also one of the important sources of danger here.
It was for this reason that five years ago, when the Yuanhuang Club claimed that they knew of a safe passage, Yu Shuhong and his team took the risk to follow them deeper.
Direction is very important here.
They couldn't see the sun and moon, and their senses were suppressed by the might of the Death Dragon, so they could only guess the direction.
"Since we are already lost, let's just wait here." This is all Ren Zheng could say.
Originally, their plan was just to go as deep as possible.
The four dragon burial pits on the periphery have been temporarily demolished, so this location is still relatively safe and can be left at any time under the guidance of the association.
They are not the only team that has gone deep into the True Dragon's death zone. There are other guardian countries in other directions.
The association's plan is for these national defense teams to go as deep as possible to the edge of being lost, and then... wait.
Waiting for Di Changan to feel, or...
Ren Zheng touched the card box and his eyes couldn't help but look into the distance.
…
at this time
True Dragon's Death Place
The most central!
The sky was dim, and a winding real dragon was like a worm in amber, solidified in the middle of heaven and earth.
The dragon head hung down in the center of the earth, quietly landing beside the armrest of a dragon throne.
As for the dragon throne... sitting on it was the immortal myth - Emperor Zulong!
At this moment, his eyes were slightly dim.
He is awake.
On the other side of the dragon throne, an armored general knelt on one knee in front of Emperor Zulong, motionless, as if he was just an empty armor.
The entire space was silent, without a single sound in the air.
…
According to Di Chang'an's recollection, in the center of this true dragon's death zone, the sun and the moon should be hanging on both sides of the sky at the same time.
But at this time, there was only a dim full moon hanging on one side of the sky. The other side was where the sun should have been, but it had been hanging in the sky for a long time.
I don’t know how long it took.
……clatter.
The rusty and dry joints of Emperor Zulong trembled, and then he seemed to tap the armrest with these joints.
“Huh…”
A dry voice floated, and he seemed to take a moment to remember how to speak.
"...The time is up. It seems you have lost the bet, Pharmacist."
After he spoke.
Another voice came into his ears.
"Quite the contrary—our victory or defeat is just about to be revealed... Your Majesty the Emperor."
Emperor Zulong said no more.
Just raised his hand - and took back the gift he promised.
…
If Yu Cang was here and heard the whispers in Emperor Zulong's ear, he would probably get excited.
That was the voice he had been looking for for a long time.
His father——Yu Shuhong!
