Chapter 454: Chapter 348 Nine Dragons Devouring Sky Tripod_1
```
The Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod and the Eight Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod both sensed something and wanted to fly forward.
Li Cheng, deep in thought, collected the two tripods and casually sent a wave of Divine Power into the dragon corpse in front of him.
In an instant, the dragon corpse turned to dust!
This scene caused Ao Qianchi's pupils to shrink, "Not only has the flesh and blood been drained, but even the power within the dragon skin and bones has been sapped, hence it disintegrates upon touch."
Li Cheng's eyes narrowed, "The rule of Devouring!"
"The Killing Law, Dark Law, and Law of Death here are quite active, obviously left by someone on purpose, to suppress The rule of Devouring."
Li Cheng stared ahead and continued, "The source of The rule of Devouring is likely a treasure, or a powerful being."
Ao Qianchi nodded, "Would Senior Ao Cang have gone in this direction?"
Li Cheng actually hoped that the Dragon Emperor wouldn't go since the dragon corpse before him made it clear that the direction was very dangerous.
However, with the Dragon Emperor's Complete Divine Venerable Realm cultivation, he must have sensed the same things, so he definitely went to investigate the source of The rule of Devouring!
"We need to hurry!" Li Cheng continued forward with Ao Qianchi.
The Dragon Emperor had arrived at the Refining Dragon Prison many years ago, and now his life or death was uncertain, so they needed to hurry to check.
Along the way, they saw hundreds of dragon corpses, all devoured clean like the previous one.
"Could there have been Divine Venerable level existences among these Divine Dragons before they died? Even Divine Venerables were devoured. Could that thing be a Divine Emperor?" Li Cheng muttered to himself.
Ao Qianchi frowned unnoticeably, but didn't say much more. For him in the Heaven God State, whether the other party was a True God or a Divine Emperor made little difference, as he wouldn't be able to escape from their grasp either way.
After a moment, a mountain that stretched for ten thousand miles appeared ahead, looking from afar like a coiled dragon.
Near the mountain, dragon corpses were scattered everywhere.
"How many years would it take to leave behind so many dragon corpses?" Ao Qianchi was gobsmacked.
Li Cheng was also secretly shocked. The dragon corpses around this Dragon Mountain were estimated to be nearly ten thousand, but these were just the Divine Dragons that had been punished and sent to the Refining Dragon Prison.
What was even more mysterious was, why were they all concentrated here?
Were they all attracted by the mountain before them?
Li Cheng looked towards Dragon Mountain, his Divine Sense unable to penetrate it, but with close attention, he could detect that it was essentially a big mountain transformed from a dragon corpse!
Ao Qianchi was also examining Dragon Mountain, seemingly completely captivated, with somewhat glazed eyes.
The next second, Ao Qianchi, having discovered something, stepped toward Dragon Mountain.
"Senior Ao!" Li Cheng called out, but Ao Qianchi didn't respond.
Li Cheng frowned, the Space Law surged, restraining Ao Qianchi in place. He approached to check and found him still lost in a daze.
"Bewitched!" Li Cheng realized, and with a wave of his hand, he was about to call upon the Confucianism Law to wake him, but then he discovered that Ao Qianchi's power was being drawn out by something and flowing out of his body towards Dragon Mountain.
"So that's it! It's the Dragon Mountain, transformed from this dragon corpse, that has drained these Divine Dragons. What could be inside Dragon Mountain?"
Li Cheng didn't dare to be careless and brought Ao Qianchi into the Divine World.
As soon as he entered the Divine World, Ao Qianchi instantly gasped for breath and came to his senses. "What happened?"
"Senior Ao, please wait in my Divine World for a while. I'll go and explore!"
Li Cheng left those words behind and rushed toward Dragon Mountain.
At the foot of Dragon Mountain, there was an entrance about three meters wide. That was where Ao Qianchi's power had passed through before.
Passing through the entrance, they found a space a hundred miles wide, dense with The rule of Devouring.
A stream of sunlight poured down from above, like a pillar of light.
In the center of the light pillar, a Dragon Ball floated, entwined with The rule of Devouring.
"Divine Origin!"
Li Cheng recognized at a glance that the Dragon Ball was the Divine Origin of a Divine Emperor Realm Divine Dragon!
Li Cheng didn't act rashly but continued to carefully observe his surroundings, soon spotting the figure of the Dragon Emperor.
At that moment, the Dragon Emperor was sitting on a boulder with his eyes slightly closed, his body trembling as if enduring great pain.
"Uncle Master Dragon Emperor!" Li Cheng called out, but the Dragon Emperor didn't respond.
Li Cheng moved closer to the Dragon Emperor only to realize that his power was also being drawn out by the Divine Origin hanging mid-air!
However, with his profound cultivation, the Dragon Emperor had managed to resist here for decades and still had the strength to hold on.
Thus it seemed, the Dragon Emperor could easily leave, but he chose to stay and counteract the devouring of the Divine Origin, perhaps as a form of cultivation.
With this thought, Li Cheng didn't rush to disturb the Dragon Emperor, instead, he continued to examine the surroundings.
This hundred-mile space resembled a rocky cave, with many stalactites hanging down. On two gigantic stalactites, Fell Dragon Grass grew.
These two stalks of Fell Dragon Grass were much older than the one he had obtained previously, and the fluctuations they emitted were incomparable.
Li Cheng picked one and forced out its power with Divine Power into the Dragon Emperor's body. After a few breaths, the Dragon Emperor slowly opened his eyes.
"Li Cheng?"
The Dragon Emperor looked surprised, "How come you are here?"
Li Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought Uncle Master was using this Divine Origin for cultivation, but it seems not."
Originally, he intended to let the Dragon Emperor use the power of the Fell Dragon Grass to recover the lost power, but unexpectedly, he ended up waking the Dragon Emperor instead.
It was also because of this that Li Cheng discovered the Dragon Emperor wasn't cultivating with the help of the Divine Origin but was actually being suppressed by it!
The Dragon Emperor glanced upwards with lingering fear, "It's embarrassing to say, but as soon as I arrived here, I lost consciousness. When I woke up midway, I sensed the oddity of this Divine Origin and immediately resisted it, only to be suppressed by its power. Out of necessity, I could only work hard to slow the loss of power, but I was never able to move."
