Chapter 5243 Awakening the Dragon Sovereign

The Sovereign Blood Seal appeared on Long Chen’s palm, and instantly, every dragon expert felt their souls shudder. Even the Human Emperors couldn’t help but quiver.

They were all shocked. Up until now, Long Chen hadn’t fought, so they didn’t know how strong he was. However, considering that he was the leader of the Dragonblood Legion, they were sure that he was an expert amongst experts.

To their surprise, the cross on Long Chen’s palm actually had a trace of Sovereign might. It felt as though their very souls were being crushed, leaving them unable to summon even the faintest will to resist. Now, they fully understood how terrifying Long Chen was. Had he intervened in the last battle, the Netherdragon race’s army would have been obliterated instantly.

Reflecting on how they had assumed Long Chen was there to command them now felt utterly laughable. They realized they had overestimated their importance—none of them were worthy to follow someone like him.

When Long Chen’s hand touched the totem, the latter quivered intensely, and its runes lit up. At the same time, Long Chen’s dragon blood started to pour out of him like water out of an opened dam.

In just a few breaths, the majority of the totem’s runes were lit up. However, Long Chen’s dragon blood continued pouring out at a terrifying rate.

“What?!”

All the dragon experts were stunned to see this. According to their historical records, when the Dragon Domain had gathered the full might of the dragon race, they had only managed to illuminate ninety percent of the totem’s runes. Seeing success right in front of them, countless dragon experts poured in their essence blood until it ran out. Many of them died in the process and still couldn’t fully activate the totem.

Yet, Long Chen had managed to activate the majority of the runes on his own, leaving the dragon experts in complete disbelief.

“Perhaps he truly can activate the totem and commune with the Dragon Sovereign!” The voice of the black dragon race’s Human Emperor trembled with excitement.

As more and more runes lit up, the totem continued to tremble. Long Chen’s dragon blood energy was rapidly depleting and was soon nearing its limit. Eighty percent of the runes were now activated.

“Everyone, help!” said Long Chen.

Guo Ran and the others stepped forward, pouring in their dragon blood energy. With the support of the Dragonblood warriors, the totem’s runes blazed.

However, the efficiency of their dragon blood energy was a far cry from Long Chen’s. Even after their combined efforts, only ninety percent of the runes had lit up.

“Everyone!” shouted Bai Yingxue. At this moment, the Human Emperors of the Dragon Domain stepped forward, switching out with the Dragonblood warriors to pour their own dragon blood into the totem.

Gradually, all of the runes finally blazed to life. When the last one lit up, a collective cheer erupted from the crowd.

BOOM!

The totem shook one final time, and the altar blazed with radiant light. The entire Dragon Domain trembled as dragon might surged through the air. Countless dragon experts knelt in reverence, whispering the name of the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign in awe and devotion as they kowtowed in unison.

Still pressing his hand against the totem, Long Chen felt a powerful suction force, and in the blink of an eye, he was pulled into a vast starry sea.

The starry sea seemed infinite, with Long Chen floating within its expanse. Beneath him, the head of an enormous dragon stretched out, so massive that it could encompass millions of stars. The rest of the dragon’s body was lost within the sea of stars, its tail nowhere in sight.

Chains as thick as mountains pierced through the dragon’s body, binding it to the void. These chains extended into the darkness, anchoring the great beast in place.

Seeing this, Long Chen let out a furious roar. The Dragon Sovereign he revered had been imprisoned in the cosmos, bound by these chains. This endless starry sea was actually a prison.

Determined to break the chain, Long Chen gritted his teeth and ran over to the closest chain. It was so vast that Long Chen appeared no larger than an ant in front of it. After mustering all his strength, Long Chen struck the chain with his fist.

With an explosive sound, Long Chen was sent flying back. His soul nearly disintegrated, leaving him dazed and disoriented.

“Still as rash as ever. When will you finally learn to be more patient and mature?” A familiar voice echoed in Long Chen’s mind, sharp yet soft, like a bolt of lightning.

Hearing the voice, a wave of emotion washed over Long Chen. His eyes welled up, and he nearly wept. “Senior, is it really you? I’ve missed you so much!”

The dragon expert had accompanied Long Chen from the mortal world to the immortal world, guiding his growth and imparting him the dragon race’s divine abilities. Although they never formally addressed each other as master and disciple, their bond was undeniably that of teacher and student.

The last time the dragon expert saved Long Chen, it had exhausted its energy and fallen into a deep slumber. Seeing the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign in this state, Long Chen felt like a blade was carving his heart.

“Don’t be so sappy!” said the Dragon Sovereign, but its voice instantly softened. “Not bad. Your power has grown considerably. But what’s even more precious is that you’ve remained true to yourself, still the same young man from back then.”

“Senior, how did you end up chained here? What can I do to free you?” asked Long Chen, gritting his teeth as he stared at the energy pouring in from the darkness.

“Foolish child, you are far too weak to help me right now. Besides, how did you even end up in my descendants’ territory? According to my previous calculations, this wasn’t where you were supposed to be,” said the Dragon Sovereign.

“I told him to come,” the Earth Cauldron’s voice suddenly cut in.

“How meddlesome,” grumbled the Dragon Sovereign, his tone turning cold once more.

“I had no choice but to be meddlesome. Long Chen’s identity as a nine star heir has already been exposed. Lord Brahma will soon send his forces after him. Moreover, Evilmoon has started to awaken, and the fluctuations of the Heavenly Daos are growing increasingly unstable. It is best to wake you up while the lines of fate are still in chaos. That way, the other side won’t notice,” explained the Earth Cauldron.

The Dragon Sovereign was silent for a long moment before finally speaking. “So, that treacherous Brahma has recovered?”

“Not fully, or his avatars would already be roaming the world. However, his followers remain active across the nine heavens and ten lands. His avatars will emerge soon, and when they do, Long Chen’s crisis will descend. That’s why I had to wake you up,” replied the Earth Cauldron.

“If that’s the case, we still have some time,” said the Dragon Sovereign, its voice grave. “Long Chen, bring out Evilmoon. Let me see it."
