"The Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain is profoundly mysterious, regarded as the most forbidden region within the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain. It is not so easily entered. Otherwise, those powerful experts at the Nine Tribulations Realm throughout the ages would not have met such fates, and even the Tyrant Dragon Divine Venerable would not dare to speak rashly, lest he bring a calamity of extermination upon his clan."
"Moreover, among the one hundred and eight Ancient God Clans that have descended, how could there be none at the level of a Primordial Sovereign, a hegemon of the universe? Yet no one has ever ventured into it, which speaks volumes. There must be forbidden existences that even Primordial Sovereigns dread." The Crimson Scale Giant Dragon sighed softly. "And if I were to encounter my Original Body, the 'me' at that time might no longer be me. By relying on this Chaos young Supreme One, I might have some hope of transcending and being reborn. Furthermore, I simply do not know if my Original Body is still alive."
"My lord, you—" The Dragon Tomb's will was shocked. So the Crimson Scale Giant Dragon had deceived Ye Chen earlier. But it clearly needed Ye Chen to reach the Supreme Realm in the future to sever its bonds. Why deceive him like this?
"According to the memories left in my remnant soul by my Original Body, they are only from before he entered the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain. The Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain is truly too mysterious." The Crimson Scale Giant Dragon spoke softly, its massive dragon eyes holding a glimmer of recollection. "It is a forbidden land that even the Primordial Beast Gods of the First Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain are unwilling to set foot in lightly. My Original Body went there, most likely to seek the traces of the extraterrestrial Emperors who opened up the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain in ancient times, or perhaps to step into the Supreme Domain there. But it also seems he was searching for something of immense importance."
"If my Original Body is alive, yet has not appeared despite the endless passage of time, he has most likely encountered a tremendous trouble there, preventing him from leaving."
"In the future, when this Chaos young Supreme One named Ye Chen possesses sufficient strength, he will inevitably set foot in that forbidden region. The cause planted today will bear fruit another day—the cycle of cause and effect. Even if my Original Body faces immense trouble, he will likely be rescued."
The Dragon Tomb's will sighed with admiration. The lord truly thought deeply enough. He wanted this Chaos young Supreme One, once sufficiently powerful in the future, to venture deep into the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain to rescue the Crimson Blood Dragon Emperor, who might be trapped in immense trouble.
Because gifting the Crimson Blood Dragon Scales and the ancient stele inscribed with the Myriad Transformation Ancient Immortal's Ten Revolutions Heaven-Defying Transformation forbidden immortal art today was a cause. In the future, when Ye Chen encounters the Crimson Blood Dragon Emperor, he would not stand idly by.
This was the effect.
Where there is cause, there must be effect!
Ye Chen was unaware of all this. Even if he knew, he likely would not refuse.
Because from their previous conversation, he understood that within the Tenth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, that final, forbidden heavenly realm ancient domain, there were likely things he sought to pursue.
Returning to a dragon hall where he was resting, Ye Chen entered seclusion.
The Crimson Scale Giant Dragon had bestowed upon him two immortal opportunities. One was the Crimson Blood Dragon Scales, at the Sovereign level. He directly placed them in the deepest part of his Chaos Small Universe, where his eight Divine Power avatars resided, representing the eight great cosmic origin forces of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, lightning, yin, and yang. These avatars had also reached the peak of the sixth level of the Great Power realm alongside Ye Chen's own advancement.
Of course, the purpose of the eight Divine Power avatars was to provide divine power, continuously perfecting the Chaos Small Universe.
Within, the Chaos Great Cauldron floated, and the most powerful Chaos Origin Fire manifested, directly enveloping all the Crimson Blood Dragon Scales for refinement. The eight Divine Power avatars continuously channeled the eight elemental divine powers into the Chaos Great Cauldron, where they fused into pure Chaos Ancient Qi and transformed into clusters of Chaos Dao Fire, merging into the Chaos Origin Fire, causing it to burn even more fiercely and intensely.
The hundreds, even thousands, of Crimson Blood Dragon Scales were being incinerated. Ye Chen was forging a set of dragon scale armor.
It must be known that he had forcibly plundered several Emperor's Treasury Small Worlds from the Nine Colors Emperor Clan. His wealth was unimaginable. Now, he continuously took out various divine materials and treasures, any one of which could spark widespread contention in the outside world, refining and adding them into the Crimson Blood Dragon Scales.
Moreover, Ye Chen also continuously refined the Chaos Profound Truths he had comprehended into them, transforming them into Chaos Runes imprinted within.
Half a month later, a set of Crimson Blood Dragon Scale Armor was born, its aura intimidating, capable of pressuring even ancient Great Powers.
Unfortunately, due to Ye Chen's cultivation realm, this armor was only equivalent to peak Great Power-level armor. However, in terms of sheer sturdiness, it was no weaker than some Sovereign ancient weapons, its defensive capability sufficient to withstand attacks from ordinary Nine Tribulations Realm experts.
Simultaneously, while forging the dragon scale armor, Ye Chen also completely refined the four strands of Imperial Dragon Qi he obtained from Imperial Son Hua Chengdao. Using the Chaos Origin Fire for refinement, even the Imperial Son-level Dao imprints belonging to Hua Chengdao within were utterly incinerated, completely submitting to Ye Chen's control.
He delved deeper into studying these four strands of Imperial Dragon Qi. After all, they were personally cultivated by an Imperial Son, receiving direct guidance from his Emperor father, far more condensed and pure than the Imperial Dragon Qi cultivated by Hua Yuntian and Prince Hua Yu. They might contain some of Imperial Son Hua Chengdao's insights into the cultivation of the Imperial Dragon Art.
He even used his Chaos Great Dao to reversely deduce them, gaining some comprehension.
Unfortunately, it wasn't much. An Imperial Son was, after all, an Imperial Son, and he had done a thorough job of keeping secrets in this aspect. Ye Chen couldn't penetrate too deeply.
Later, he also obtained six of the nine strands of Imperial Dragon Qi from Hua Yuntian from A Beinu, forming a complete set of ten strands of Imperial Dragon Qi.
However, among the ten strands of Imperial Dragon Qi, some were strong, some weak, creating certain flaws. In the future, when used, this could become a weakness.
But who was Ye Chen? Naturally, he had a corresponding method. Within his body resided part of the Dragon Source. He nurtured all ten strands of Imperial Dragon Qi within his spine—his own Great Dragon Bone, like a true great dragon—thereby allowing the ten strands of Imperial Dragon Qi to slowly nurture a trace of Dragon Source, becoming stronger.
Ye Chen believed that in the future, if he successfully nurtured all ten strands of Imperial Dragon Qi to completion, it would become another terrifying offensive sacred art, perhaps not much inferior to the Battle Saint Art.
After half a month of seclusion within the Crimson Scale Dragon Clan, during which he did not resume refining the Dragon Blood Grass-related elixirs, Ye Chen thought it over and decided to wait until he obtained the Dragon Soul Grass to begin refining.
Now that he had news of the Dragon Soul Grass—it was in the Cosmos Heaven City, with the auction still months away—he was in no hurry and did not immediately leave the Second Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain.
Having completed everything, the dragon scale armor transformed into ordinary clothing, clinging to his body. Accompanied by his three Supreme Talents, he bid farewell to Gu Jiuhua.
