1941 Destroying the Ancient Monolith
After entering the Dragon Spiral Mountain, the Dragon Emperor led Yuan to the mouth of a colossal cave, its entrance veiled in a faint, ancient pressure. As they approached, the Nine Dragon Symbols within Yuan stirred restlessly, trembling with excitement. Whatever it was resonating with was inside the cave. "This is the first time an outsider has visited this place," said Holy Dragon Emperor as they reached the entrance.
"It's an honor," Yuan smiled.
"However, if you fail to prove your identity, you won't be able to leave this place alive."
"..."
"Let's go."
The Dragon Emperor entered the cave, and Yuan calmly followed him. Xi Meili quietly trailed behind Yuan, staying close to him. Due to her lack of cultivation, just being in the presence of so many powerful beings was a challenge for her.
After traversing a shadowed tunnel, they emerged into a vast, dimly lit cavern. At its center stood a towering monolith, ancient and imposing, its presence dominating the chamber in solemn silence.
'That monolith must be the cause for the Nine Dragon Symbol's unrest…' Yuan narrowed his gaze at the Ancient Monolith.
The Dragon Emperor came to a halt about a dozen meters from the monolith, then turned to face Yuan.
"Only those who hold the highest status within the Holy Dragon Clan are permitted to enter this place," he said calmly. "So rest assured—everyone present is just as qualified as I am to witness your proof."
Yuan turned around to look at the others who followed them to the monolith and nodded, "I don't mind."
"Then whenever you are ready."
The Dragon Emperor and the others fell into a heavy silence, their gazes fixed on Yuan as they patiently awaited the proof of his claim as the envoy of Dragon Goddess Yeyou.
"..."
'Since it has come to this point, let's just try summoning her…'
Yuan retrieved the Dragon God's Vengeance again, unaware of the Holy Dragon Clan's true intentions.
They alone knew of the Ancient Monolith's ability to sense the presence of Dragon Goddess Yeyou. And with Yuan's arrival coinciding perfectly with its recent awakening, they had a strong suspicion that he was the cause. They only needed to confirm their suspicions with their own eyes.
However, when Yuan retrieved the Dragon God's Vengeance, the Ancient Monolith remained silent.
This caused the Dragon Emperor and the others to raise their eyebrows.
'He's not the cause for the Ancient Monolith's awakening?'
'If not him, then who was responsible?'
The Dragon Emperor let out a quiet sigh, his voice laced with disappointment as he spoke,
"He's not the one. Kill him."
"What?" Yuan's eyes widened in shock at the sudden decree. He hadn't even had the chance to call upon Dragon Goddess Yeyou.
"I'll handle him," said a girl with the appearance of a refined young lady.
In the next moment, her aura flared—powerful and sharp—revealing her cultivation at the Silver Immortal Realm.
"You dare exploit the name of Dragon Goddess Yeyou? You wretched human… you'll pay for your insolence!"
With a flash of movement, she lunged at Yuan, her body partially transformed. Her right arm morphed into a massive, white-scaled limb that gleamed with draconic power as it tore through the air toward him.
Yuan did not dare to underestimate her and immediately activated Dragon Transformation.
