Chapter 2333: Dragon Ancestor (2)
BANG!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The colossal Dragon God World Ender Sword, radiating an aura of overwhelming power, slammed into Yun Lintian's outstretched palm with the force of a thousand thunderclaps. The impact reverberated through the courtyard, the very earth trembling under the strain.
A blinding flash of azure light erupted from the point of contact, momentarily obscuring Yun Lintian's figure.
The guests, their hearts pounding in their chests, could only watch in breathless anticipation, their senses overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of the clash.
When the light finally subsided, a gasp of astonishment escaped their lips. Yun Lintian stood his ground, his palm firmly clasped around the blade of the Dragon God World Ender Sword. His muscles bulged, his veins throbbed, and his sleeves ripped apart under the immense strain. Blood trickled from his palm, staining the pristine azure blade.
Everyone watched in stunned silence, their hearts filled with a mixture of awe and disbelief. Yun Lintian, the human cultivator, had caught the Dragon God World Ender Sword with his bare hand. The very sword that had instilled fear in the hearts of countless dragons now lay firmly in his grasp.
Yun Lintian's face, however, was etched with a mask of grim determination. His body trembled, each muscle straining against the overwhelming power of the artifact. The azure light emanating from the blade pulsed, its aura fighting against his grip, its will resisting his control.
"Let go!" Long Wu's voice boomed, filled with both anger and surprise. "You dare to challenge the power of the Dragon God World Ender Sword?"
Yun Lintian said through clenched teeth, his voice a low growl. "This sword belongs to the Dragon God Clan, not to a group of impostors who betrayed their own master."
He exerted even more force, his muscles bulging as he struggled to subdue the sword's will. The azure light pulsed erratically, its aura fluctuating wildly as it fought against his control.
The Dragon God Clan Elders watched with a mixture of fascination and fear. They had never seen anyone, not even the Dragon Emperor himself, attempt to control the Dragon God World Ender Sword with their bare hands. The sheer audacity of Yun Lintian's actions left them speechless.
Yun Lintian's body trembled violently, his veins pulsing with power. The blood flowing from his palm intensified, staining the ground beneath his feet. Yet, he refused to let go. His will, forged in countless battles and tempered by the fires of adversity, clashed with the ancient will of the sword.
The guests, their hearts pounding in their chests, could only watch in breathless anticipation. The air crackled with tension, the silence broken only by the labored breaths of Yun Lintian and the faint hum of the Dragon God World Ender Sword.
"HAH!"
Finally, with a guttural roar, Yun Lintian's free hand shot out, grasping the blade with both hands. The azure light of the Dragon God World Ender Sword flickered, its resistance weakening. Yun Lintian's grip tightened, his will overpowering the sword's ancient consciousness.
"Impossible!" Long Wu's voice echoed, filled with disbelief and rage. "How can a mere human control the Dragon God World Ender Sword?"
Yun Lintian, his face etched with a cold grin, raised the sword high above his head. The blade, now under his command, pulsed with a newfound power, its aura resonating with his own.
"I am not a mere human," he declared, his voice booming through the courtyard. "I am the inheritor of the Primordial Azure Dragon God, the rightful heir to the Dragon God Clan's legacy!"
With a buzz, azure-colored scales emerged on Yun Lintian's arms. His eyes became draconic, with a deep azure light flickering strongly.
"What!?"
A collective gasp echoed through the crowd. The revelation of Yun Lintian's true identity sent shockwaves through the Dragon God Realm. The guests, both dragons and human cultivators alike, stared at him with wide eyes, their minds reeling from the implications of his words. The Dragon God Clan Elders, their faces pale and their hearts filled with dread, exchanged disbelieving glances. They had suspected Yun Lintian's bloodline was extraordinary, but they had never imagined he was a direct descendant of the Primordial Azure Dragon God! Long Fan, his expression a mixture of shock and awe, stared at Yun Lintian with newfound respect. What he had initially guessed came true. Yun Lintian was indeed one of them. More precisely, he was more than qualified to be the ancestor of the Dragon God Clan.
Yun Lintian, his grip on the Dragon God World Ender Sword firm, turned to face the Ancestral Land's direction. His eyes, blazing with the power of his bloodline, stared deep into the sacred land of the Dragon God Clan.
"You and your fellow ancestors have betrayed the Dragon God Clan's legacy. You have allowed corruption to fester, and you have abandoned the true path of the Dragon God." He spoke.
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the gathered crowd. "Today, I, Yun Lintian, the descendant of the Primordial Azure Dragon God, reclaim my rightful place as the leader of the Dragon God Clan!"
His declaration echoed through the courtyard, its impact reverberating throughout the entire Dragon God Realm. The guests, their hearts filled with awe, watched as a new era dawned upon the Dragon God Clan.
Xiao Shou was genuinely surprised to hear this. He'd always thought that Yun Lintian wouldn't care much about the leadership position. At most, he would let Long Qingxuan take
it.
Dongfang Hao and Dongfang Xue were shocked speechless at the moment. They had never imagined such a sudden turn of events. It turned out Yun Lintian had been a member of the Dragon God Clan all along.
The Dragon God Clan Elders, their faces etched with shame and regret, lowered their heads in submission. They had failed their ancestors, their clan, and their own honor. They had allowed their pride and arrogance to blind them to the truth, and now they must face the consequences of their actions.
Long Fan, his heart filled with a newfound sense of purpose, stepped forward. "I, Long Fan, the First Elder of the Dragon God Clan, pledge my loyalty to Yun Lintian, the true heir to the Dragon God's legacy!" he declared, his voice ringing with conviction.
In his heart, Yun Lintian was determined to lead the Dragon God Clan back to its former glory. There was no one more suitable than him.
"I, Long Jing,..."
"I, Long Pei,..."
One by one, the other Dragon Clan Elders followed suit, their voices joining Long Fan's in a chorus of allegiance...
