The space shrouded in darkness receded silently like a tide as the Emperor's will faded.
The sounds of wind, water, and insects in the valley returned to my ears, as if that previously desolate area had never existed.
Di Tian's huge, ferocious dragon head hung low, maintaining that respectful posture, and did not raise it for a long time.
"Sky blue".
Di Tian's voice rang out.
"You shall guard this place. Without my order, no one shall approach even a step."
"Yes, sir."
Da Ming responded quickly, nodding his huge head as if he were pounding garlic.
Di Tian slowly raised his head, his golden dragon eyes looking at Ning Liu again, his emotions extremely complex.
The previous rage and intimidation were gone.
"Come with me."
He spoke succinctly, and his massive dragon body spun in the air before landing directly on the lake surface.
"boom!"
The calm lake surface did not create towering waves the moment Di Tian descended. Instead, it silently parted from the middle like a soft curtain, revealing a bottomless, stepped passage made of lake water.
On both sides of the passage, the lake walls rise steeply, in which various strange aquatic creatures swim, emitting a faint light that illuminates the path leading to the bottom of the lake in a deep blue hue.
A life force a hundred times stronger than that of the outside world rushed towards us.
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up instantly. She took a deep breath, and a look of ecstasy appeared on her face.
"Wow, this place is so comfortable!"
Ning Liu pulled her along, following behind Di Tian, and stepped onto the water staircase.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding pressure intensified, and the life energy became increasingly viscous, almost materializing.
Xiao Wu was initially very excited, but soon felt a bit short of breath and had to use her soul power to resist.
I don't know how deep we've dived, but suddenly the view opens up before me.
They emerged from the water staircase and arrived at a strange space that defies description.
There is no water or soil here; it is like a giant crystal cave that exists independently of the rest of the world.
The entire space was filled with fist-sized energy orbs emitting a soft green light, like millions of fireflies dancing in the air.
Above the dome of the space, there is an enormous milky white crystal, which, like a gentle sun, illuminates the entire space as bright as day.
That is the core of the Lake of Life, a crystallization of life force.
In the very center of the space, a colossal silver dragon lay silently coiled.
Her body was so enormous that her coiled dragon form resembled a continuous silver mountain range.
Each scale appears to be carved from the purest moonstone crystal, shimmering with a soft and noble luster.
She possessed the most beautiful dragon body lines. Unlike Di Tian's ferocious and domineering aura, everything about her appeared so elegant and noble, as if she were the most perfect masterpiece of the Creator.
Her eyes were closed, her chest rose and fell very slightly, and countless green orbs of light surrounded her, slowly merging into her body and then slowly dissipating.
She is the Silver Dragon King.
Even in her deep sleep, the oppressive aura emanating from the very core of her bloodline made it almost impossible for Xiao Wu to breathe.
She instinctively hid behind Ning Liu, her small hands tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, peeking out half her head, looking at this legendary figure with both awe and curiosity.
The moment Di Tian entered this space, he concealed all his aura, his enormous dragon body shrinking to about ten meters, and he respectfully prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to even raise his head.
Just then, a phantom light slowly rose from between the brows of the sleeping Silver Dragon King, condensing in mid-air into the shape of a woman.
She wore a long silver dress, her face was stunningly beautiful, yet she possessed an ethereal and aloof quality.
Her figure was somewhat transparent and looked extremely weak, but her open silver eyes seemed to contain the stars and the sea, and had seen through the ages.
She ignored Di Tian, who was prostrate on the ground, and her gaze fell directly on Ning Liu.
The moment her gaze met Ning Liu's, her calm, silver eyes suddenly narrowed.
An invisible storm, centered on her, exploded in this space.
"Asura God..."
Her voice was no longer weak and distant as before, but filled with extreme shock and a trace of... deep-seated hatred.
Why do you have his scent on you?!
boom--!
These words struck Di Tian, who was prostrate on the ground, like thunder from the heavens.
He suddenly raised his head, and his golden dragon eyes instantly turned blood red, with an uncontrollable, insane killing intent surging from his body.
"The God of Asura?!"
Di Tian stared intently at Ning Liu, his massive dragon body trembling violently with extreme rage, his teeth grinding together.
"It's him! Back in the God Realm, it was that despicable hypocrite, the Asura God, who wielded a blood-red greatsword and ambushed the Dragon God from behind when he wasn't paying attention!"
"It was with his sword that the great Dragon God was cleaved in two!"
A blood feud! An irreconcilable enmity!
Unable to suppress his hatred any longer, Di Tian roared and lunged at Ning Liu.
However, the moment he moved, the Silver Dragon King's cold voice rang out:
"Di Tian, step down."
Di Tian's movements came to an abrupt halt, his blood-red dragon eyes filled with struggle and resentment.
But in the end, he slowly and reluctantly retreated, though his eyes still seemed to want to devour Ning Liu alive.
The phantom of the Silver Dragon King floated forward half a step, its gaze, like two tangible swords, locking onto Ning Liu:
"Answer me, what is your relationship with him?"
Faced with this overwhelming hatred and questioning, Ning Liu remained silent.
He slowly extended his right hand, meeting the gazes of the Silver Dragon King and Emperor Tian that could kill a thousand times over.
Buzz—
A blood-red longsword appeared out of thin air in his palm.
The sword has a long, narrow blade, is dark red in color, and is covered with strange and gorgeous dark gold magic patterns.
At the hilt of the sword, a lifelike statue of a hideous demon's head stands.
The moment it appeared, a terrifying aura, incompatible with this living space and filled with killing, judgment, and coldness, instantly spread.
The Asura Demon Sword?!
The phantom of the Silver Dragon King shook violently, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared on his exquisite face.
Di Tian's breathing stopped completely at that moment.
He stared intently at the sword, the sword that had appeared countless times in his nightmares.
Although the forms are slightly different, the murderous intent that runs deep into the bones is absolutely true!
This isn't over yet.
Ning Liu held the sword in his left hand, slowly raised his right hand, and pointed his fingers like a sword, gently touching his brow.
The next moment, a blood-red mark, composed of countless intricate patterns, resembling the Asura Demon Sword, quietly appeared between his brows.
The moment the mark appeared, the Asura Demon Sword in his hand emitted a high-pitched sword cry, and an Asura divine power that was far purer and more terrifying than before appeared directly!
