CHAPTER 1135: CHAPTER 1111: DRAGON HORN (1/3)

The star ship quickly docked at the Eternal Dragon Star. Zhou Heng overlooked from above, seeing that the size of the Demon Sea had expanded by another circle in just a few short years. Although it still couldn’t match the spread after the Super Death Tide in the Vermilion Bird Star Domain, it wasn’t that far off.

The threat of the Shadow Dead Spirits was imminent!

Zhou Heng gathered his thoughts, leaped down from the star ship, and saw that the Second Ancestor had personally come. He laughed heartily, "Younger Brother Zhou, I just received news that your senior sister has expelled you and Heavenly Venerate Hongyue from the Taixu Sect!"

Why the happy laughter over something not good? Does he even know how to be a dragon?

Zhou Heng said in his heart. This small dragon had no tact at all, no wonder he was skinned and deboned by Huotian in the past, and then again by Hongyue! Should I also skin and debone this old fellow once I cross into the Chaos Realm?

He sighed and said, "Good news doesn’t travel far, bad news travels thousands of miles!"

The Dragon Clan’s Second Ancestor still smiled. Back then, Huotian had slapped another Saint for Zhou Heng’s sake! Such concern simply couldn’t be more excessive!

Besides, sandwiched between them was Hongyue. With Second Ancestor’s wealth of experience, he could immediately see it was a complicated love triangle!

Yet he dared not even tease!

Who were the people involved?

Huotian! Hongyue!

Each could torment the Dragon Clan at will, and indeed had done so ruthlessly, leaving Second Ancestor with strong psychological shadows, not wanting to see Huotian or Hongyue ever again.

"It’s nothing, nothing. Your senior sister is just angry for a moment and will soon reverse the decision!" Second Ancestor said, pausing before continuing, "Younger Brother Zhou, you specifically came to see the Old Ancestor this time, is there something important?"

"Extremely important!" Black Donkey interjected.

Important? Extremely?

Second Ancestor’s heart shivered, saying, "I’ll take you to see the Old Ancestor immediately!"

If anyone else said it was "important," even "extremely important," it wouldn’t weigh on Second Ancestor’s mind, given the status and position involved! What seems like a colossal matter to the weak is not even a blip to the strong.

Zhou Heng laughed a bit awkwardly. For him, this was certainly tied to his future son; of course, it was extremely important!

Second Ancestor quickly led Zhou Heng and Black Donkey to a grand hall. Here, Old Azure Dragon sat behind a copper furnace, in human form, wearing a blue robe, looking very solemn, while across from him sat Long Shasha in a cross-legged position, meditating.

Sensing Zhou Heng’s arrival, this girl immediately opened her eyes, jumped up, and waved at Zhou Heng repeatedly.

"Cough! Cough!" Old Azure Dragon coughed non-stop. This girl really didn’t regard him as a father, making a spectacle of herself in front of him with a man, leaving him very hurt!

Long Shasha was completely unafraid of her father, running up to Zhou Heng like a streak, saying, "Hey, why are you just now coming to see me? Don’t you consider me a friend?!"

Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "A bit busy!"

"Young friend, please sit!" Old Azure Dragon said. He didn’t wish for his daughter to have any substantive development with Zhou Heng, even though it meant familial ties with Taixu Sect. But thinking about the suffering Huotian Hongyue had inflicted on the Dragon Clan, Old Azure Dragon shivered!

Though he said sit, there wasn’t even a chair here, so they could only sit on the ground.

"Thank you!" Zhou Heng still showed courtesy, considering Old Azure Dragon was a seasoned Chaos Realm expert with over eight hundred steps and had been defending the Demon Sea for generations, which was a great merit!

Long Shasha sat next to Zhou Heng without a hint of hesitation. She chirped, probing for gossip about Huotian and Hongyue.

"Cough! Cough!" Old Azure Dragon had to interrupt his daughter’s gossiping heart. In her manner of questioning, they couldn’t be expected to finish without three to five days. Sitting there for so long wasn’t feasible!

"Young friend, what is the important matter?"

Zhou Heng was quite embarrassed, pausing before saying, "I would like to borrow Ancestral Dragon Lord’s horn!"

All were suddenly silent, and after a while, suppressed laughter from Black Donkey echoed, yet this despicable donkey evidently failed to hold back enough, letting others hear.

"Hahahaha!" Long Shasha wasn’t as reserved, laughing out loud, quite impolite.

Second Ancestor’s face turned ashen, and Old Azure Dragon’s was equally grim!

The Taixu line bullies people too much!

Back then, Huotian skinned and deboned them; later it was Hongyue. Was it Zhou Heng’s turn now?

Damned!

Boy, you’re just in the Black Cave Realm, unable to withstand even one of my fingers, yet you think you can bully me?

In their fury, Old Azure Dragon and Second Ancestor were both filled with indignation, erupting in curses in their minds.

Zhou Heng smiled awkwardly; indeed, this request carried a strong sense of humiliation. But he had no choice, the fetus-preserving medicine needed this as the main ingredient, he had to ask and speak!

Moreover, he has now been expelled from the Taixu Sect by Huotian, which means he’s lost that layer of support—now that I think about it, Huotian must have done it on purpose, knowing that I would have to seek out the Four Divine Beasts for their "components," she deliberately set a hurdle for me!

Otherwise, as long as Zhou Heng said it was Huotian’s idea, would the Four Divine Beasts dare not comply?

No other way, I’ll have to use the ultimate weapon!

Zhou Heng said, "Ancestral Dragon Lord, I had no other choice, because... because... it’s the main ingredient for Miss Hongyue’s fetus-preserving medicine!"

Puff!

Puff!

Puff!

The three dragons cooperated quite well, spewing out simultaneously, both neatly and spectacularly!

"Wha-what! Miss Hongyue is pregnant!" Long Shasha was so shocked that she grabbed Zhou Heng’s shoulders, "Who did it? Which bastard dared to make Miss Hongyue pregnant! Wuwuwu, how could my idol get pregnant!"

Old Azure Dragon and the Second Ancestor looked at each other, gaining some understanding.

No wonder Zhou Heng and Hongyue were expelled from the Taixu Sect, an uncle and a niece committing a forbidden romance and getting pregnant, naturally, they could only be kicked out of the sect. Without the hierarchy, they could bring about one life or ten, and no one would say anything!

Moreover, Hongyue now seemed to be the strongest in the Chaos Realm, aside from the Four Saints, who else could defeat her?

Even if Hongyue indeed had a forbidden romance with Zhou Heng, no one would dare ridicule that!

The key is, there is evidently also ambiguity between Huotian and Zhou Heng. If they were to serve the same husband in the future, it would be a true laughingstock for the world! By expelling Zhou Heng and Hongyue now, severing relations, future marriages would naturally have no issues!

The two old dragons were thinking far ahead, but to sacrifice a dragon horn?

The Second Ancestor said, "Younger Brother Zhou, a large part of our Dragon Clan’s power lies in our horns. The Old Ancestor must guard the Demon Sea, and his strength must not falter, so why not use mine instead?"

Given Hongyue’s fetus-preserving medicine, how could they dare refuse? But the threat from the Dead Spirits is real and over the past few years, the expansion of the Demon Sea has accelerated, with the tides of death becoming fiercer with each cycle. According to Old Azure Dragon’s calculations, a Super Death Tide is imminent!

At a time like this, the top-level battle power absolutely cannot be diminished!

Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "I don’t think it’s possible!"

The list clearly requires the "components" from the first generation of the Four Divine Beasts! Although the Second Ancestor is also in the Chaos Realm, it still doesn’t hold enough weight!

The Second Ancestor couldn’t help but feel deeply hurt; after all, he is a strong Chaos Realm expert! Although he has only taken nearly two hundred steps, a Chaos Realm is still a Chaos Realm, counting among the world’s top experts!

"Report—report to the Old Ancestor!" Suddenly, a communication array lit up, and an elder spoke in a somewhat flustered manner, "It’s bad, the Tide of Death has erupted! A Super Death Tide! A Super Death Tide has erupted!"

No wonder he was so incoherent, how terrifying is a Super Death Tide? At the last Heavenly God Convention, so many top experts arrived, yet countless died and were injured under the impact of the Super Death Tide!

Moreover, at that time, Zhou Heng played an extremely crucial role. If it weren’t for him, not to mention the possible deaths of several Chaos Realm experts, at least all Nine Caves level experts wouldn’t have survived.

"Young friend, please sit for a moment, this Venerate must immediately suppress the Demon Sea!" Old Azure Dragon immediately stood up. For small, medium, or even large death tides, he wouldn’t be so urgent; he could wait until the last moment to act, but not for a Super Death Tide!

Without a Chaos Realm-level expert on guard, a Super Death Tide can breach the defenses immediately!

"I’ll go with you, I should be able to help!" Zhou Heng quickly said.

This wasn’t about trying to curry favor with Old Azure Dragon, but suppressing the Dead Spirits is the duty of every living being, not just the Dragon Clan’s mission! Besides, he had been part of the Dragon Clan’s army for a long time!

Old Azure Dragon hesitated for a moment, then nodded; the destructive power of a Super Death Tide is too great, having Zhou Heng, the nemesis of Dead Spirits, present would be of maximum benefit!

Together with the Black Donkey, they all hurried towards the Demon Sea.

Old Azure Dragon was already stationed at Eternal Dragon Star, and his palace wasn’t far from the Demon Sea. After only about ten minutes, they had arrived at the edge of the Demon Sea, where in a distant corner, countless Dead Spirits were launching an assault on the shore.

A Tide of Death gathers all the Dead Spirits within an area and launches a frenzied assault towards a target location with a set direction. A Super Death Tide is no exception, it just covers a larger area and has more Dead Spirits!

"Let’s go!" Old Azure Dragon waved his hand, enfolding the three people and one donkey, and forcefully traversed the Demon Sea, heading towards the Tide of Death.

The Chaos Realm at eight hundred steps was indeed formidable. In just an instant, they had already arrived above the Tide of Death, and Old Azure Dragon released the three people and one donkey, striking with his palm, scattering azure light and boundless vitality!

The Azure Dragon signifies the Path of Wood, full of vitality! His rune light can heal and prolong life for living beings, but for Dead Spirits, it is an absolute poison. Where the azure light falls, Dead Spirits below the Black Cave Realm instantly turn to ash!

This is somewhat similar to the light of the Milky Way, except that the rune requires Spiritual Power to operate and can be exhausted, whereas the light of the Milky Way is self-sustaining. Thus far, Zhou Heng has not found the Milky Way light to dim, much like the unending rotation of the Star Vortex.

Kill!

Zhou Heng descended, without hesitation, summoned the Milky Way Ring, as the light of the Milky Way circulated for hundreds of meters, any Dead Spirit within the Black Cave Realm would die upon contact, even more powerful than Old Azure Dragon!
