Chapter 1019: Two Great Golden Ages of the Dragon Clan!

"This... is this fake? We activated the Seven Mansions Grand Formation, and so many of us were injured, yet he... he is unharmed!"

After the shock, the Dragon Clan experts let out exclamations of astonishment.

When everything dissipated, a tall figure stood in the air. Though covered in wounds, his aura remained astonishing.

Had Ye Yuan actually survived the Great Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation?

This... how could this be?

"Clan Chief, this... this... am I seeing things?" Long Zaitian stammered before finally getting the words out.

Ao Duo also wore a shocked expression and said solemnly, "You're not mistaken. He really did pull through! It seems that half-divine artifact truly has something strange about it!"

Long Zaitian exclaimed in surprise, "Even the Sacred Dragon Token couldn't withstand the Great Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation. How did that half-divine artifact manage to block it?"

Ao Duo did not answer Long Zaitian, because he himself did not know.

But he was certain that something unusual must have happened behind that endless light.

At this moment, Ye Yuan's Imperial Qi surged within him. Tempered by the Great Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, his Imperial Qi was far more powerful than that of ordinary martial artists.

Just now, he had infused Imperial Qi into the Haotian Stele, and the stele had flown directly out of the Haotian Tower, colliding with the Great Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation.

However, all of this was concealed by the golden light of the Haotian Tower.

In that strike, the Haotian Stele had achieved a complete victory!

Having possessed the Haotian Stele for so long, Ye Yuan felt its true power for the first time!

And at this moment, a faint connection had been established between Ye Yuan and the Haotian Stele.

But with countless eyes fixed on him, he could not delve deeper into it.

"Ji Qingyun, how dare you undergo such a great tribulation in the territory of our Dragon Clan's totem! What punishment do you deserve?" Ao Duo's voice boomed like a great bell, carrying far and wide.

Ye Yuan frowned and was about to speak when Long Teng suddenly appeared and spoke first: "You insolent little thing, what are you shouting about?"

Ye Yuan was amused.

Long Teng had returned to the clan without making a scene. Now, it seemed he was finally about to show off.

Elsewhere, Long Teng, as a mere artifact spirit, had little room to be arrogant. But in the Dragon Clan, Long Teng was nearly invincible.

Having experienced the rise and fall over fifty thousand years, Long Teng's study of Dragon Clan techniques and martial skills had reached the pinnacle.

No matter how strong a Dragon Clan martial artist was, in his presence, they could exert less than a tenth of their true strength.

Yet as soon as Long Teng said this, the entire Dragon Clan erupted in uproar.

"Where did this guy come from? He dares call the Clan Chief a little thing... Is he tired of living?"

"This man insults our Azure Dragon Clan Chief—he deserves to die!"

"That Ji Qingyun nearly brought disaster upon our clan, and now he sends out some random person to insult the Clan Chief. He's really asking for it!"

Ao Duo's face darkened like the bottom of a pot. Having ruled the Dragon Clan for thousands of years, when had he ever been so lightly insulted?

Little thing?

There was actually someone in this world who dared to call him that!

Ao Duo was already irritated that Ye Yuan had nearly brought catastrophe upon the Dragon Clan. Now, with this mysterious figure suddenly appearing, how could he hold back?

"Courting death!" Ao Duo's expression turned cold as he unleashed a fearsome Dragon Clan technique at Long Teng.

This strike was undeniably powerful.

Even a casual blow from a Void Xuan realm expert was not something an ordinary person could withstand.

But Long Teng copied the move exactly and struck back with the same technique.

Without any earth-shattering collision, Ao Duo's attack was simply annihilated.

Seeing this, everyone's pupils contracted as they stared in disbelief.

Ao Duo was not invincible, but in the entire Divine Realm, no one had ever so effortlessly annihilated one of his attacks!

Not even the Ten Great Divine Kings could do that!

The Dragon Clan members stared in shock at the black figure in the sky.

"Clan Chief! This man... is the mysterious expert I told you about! I never thought... I never thought even you couldn't defeat him!"

At that moment, Ao Jianbo appeared from somewhere.

Hearing this, Ao Duo was also deeply shocked.

Recalling Long Teng's earlier words, could this person be an elder of the Dragon Clan?

But he couldn't think of any Dragon Clan elder with such formidable strength!

"That Divine Emperor Dragon Fist wasn't bad, much better than that kid beside you. But... you haven't mastered it yet!" Long Teng's arrogant voice rang out again, drawing sidelong glances.

This guy was so arrogant, actually lecturing the Clan Chief of the Azure Dragon Clan!

But then again, he seemed to have the capital to be arrogant!

"Sir... which elder of our Dragon Clan are you? Since you've returned to the clan, why not show your true face?"

At this, Ao Duo calmed down, realizing he had been rash, and his tone became somewhat more conciliatory.

Long Teng said nonchalantly, "I won't talk to you. Let your own elder speak with you! None of you surnamed Ao are any good!"

Ao Duo's face, which had just relaxed, immediately fell again.

But just then, another figure appeared before everyone.

"Elder Teng, isn't your remark a bit too broad? At least I, Ao Qian, have always been on your side!" Ao Qian said with a wry smile.

"Hmph! What happened back then in the clan, you little ones were still insignificant. Otherwise, whose side you'd be on is uncertain!" Long Teng snorted coldly.

Ao Qian conceded, saying helplessly, "Elder Teng, so many years have passed. Can't you let it go?"

"Heh, let it go?" Long Teng sneered but said no more.

Meanwhile, Ao Duo's face turned ugly as he muttered repeatedly, "Ao Qian, Ao Qian, that name sounds so familiar."

Suddenly, he looked up sharply, staring at Ao Qian in disbelief, and said in shock, "You... you are the Great Elder from forty thousand years ago, known as the strongest of the Dragon Clan... Ao Qian?"

Ao Qian said with some surprise, "Heh, I didn't expect that after all these years, someone still remembers this old man! You're also surnamed Ao, so by seniority, you should call me great-grandfather!"

Hearing Ao Qian's own admission, Ao Duo was stunned beyond words.

Ao Qian was a legendary figure from forty thousand years ago. How could he suddenly appear in the clan?

"Clan Chief, who is this?" Seeing Ao Duo's expression, Long Zaitian couldn't help asking.

Ao Duo took a deep breath, suppressing his inner shock, and slowly said, "In the past hundred thousand years, our Dragon Clan has had two great golden ages! The first was fifty thousand years ago, when seven Void Xuan experts emerged in one generation! The second was forty thousand years ago, when five Void Xuan experts emerged in one generation! And Ao Qian was... the strongest of that generation forty thousand years ago! He was also the Great Elder of that generation!"
