Chapter 591: Giving Too Much
Dragon Clan Ancestral Land.
Within an ancient hall.
At this moment.
Many Elders of the Dragon Clan were hosting a banquet for Chu Yuan.
After learning of Chu Yuan's terrifying combat abilities, the Dragon Clan naturally came to respect him, and to entertain Chu Yuan, even the Dragon Clan Chief personally made an appearance.
At the banquet.
The Dragon Clan Chief engaged in conversation with Chu Yuan, wanting to understand what on earth this 'Sky Demon Python Clan' was.
Why had he never heard of such a race?
Chu Yuan was also perplexed, for he had fabricated the story; he, too, didn't know what a Heavenly Demon Python was.
After pondering for a while.
Chu Yuan finally spoke up to answer.
"The Heavenly Demon Python is one of the ancient Innate Divine Monsters, which was once prosperous, but later declined, gradually losing its fame. Now, the entire race is only left with me, the Old Ancestor."
"So, Dragon Clan Chief, it's no wonder you haven't heard of it."
Chu Yuan said with a smile.
"Just you alone?"
The Dragon Clan Chief's eyes lit up.
Indeed, he had no idea what the Sky Demon Python Clan was.
But that did not hinder his thoughts.
He wanted to draw in this powerful individual and make him part of the Dragon Clan's strength.
"Yes, just me alone,"
Chu Yuan nodded and said.
"Then, friend, what exactly is the difference between your Sky Demon Python Clan and our Dragon Clan? Is there any connection?"
The Dragon Clan Chief asked in a low voice.
If it was just pythons, then naturally they would be considered a subsidiary race of their Dragon Clan.
But this Heavenly Demon Python, he felt, was clearly not part of that category, right?
How could such a powerful entity emerge from the python race?
"Connection? Of course, there is one; the Heavenly Demon Python also belongs to the Dragon Clan."
Chu Yuan nodded slightly, acknowledging it.
In his view.
Pythons, Jiao Dragons, and so on, all belonged to the subsidiaries of the Dragon Clan, which was quite normal.
"So you..."
The Dragon Clan Chief's tone turned strange.
"Oh oh, then I suppose I also belong to the Dragon Clan, only that my Sky Demon Python Clan has been in decline for far too long and doesn't have much to do with the current Dragon Clan."
Chu Yuan dismissed with a wave of his hand.
Upon hearing this.
The Dragon Clan Chief's eyes instantly burned with eagerness.
He immediately explained his purpose to Chu Yuan, wanting to invite him to join their Dragon Clan, as they were willing to offer various resources for Chu Yuan's use.
All he needed was for Chu Yuan to become part of the Dragon Clan.
Chu Yuan naturally did not want to agree.
But...
But the Dragon Clan Chief offered so much.
The Dragon Clan Chief made a bunch of promises.
Chu Yuan could only 'reluctantly' agree.
After Chu Yuan accepted.
The Dragon Clan Chief gave Chu Yuan many treasures.
Later, the Dragon Clan Chief proposed to have a spar with Chu Yuan.
He said it was to test Chu Yuan's strength, in order to assign him a position.
Chu Yuan, of course, agreed.
…
Within an open area of the Dragon Clan Ancestral Land.
Chu Yuan and Dragon Clan Chief Ao Tian stood on top of two pillars, facing each other.
Beneath them, countless members of the Dragon Clan were watching their sparring.
On the pillars.
Ao Tian, looking at the figure in front of him that was blurry yet still exuded an extraordinary air, nodded with great satisfaction.
"Friend, feel free to use any techniques at your disposal; don't hold back. The stronger you are, the higher the prestige you will gain within the Dragon Clan, and the treatment you receive will also be higher."
Ao Tian spoke up, saying.
"The treatment will be higher? Are you serious?"
Upon hearing these words, Chu Yuan was no longer tired.
He held a storage bag full of treasures in his hand, and his heart blazed with passion.
If that were the case, then he would not hold back.
"Of course," if a fellow daoist can fight me to a draw, the treatment would naturally be doubled!"
Ao Tian nodded, confirming through his words.
"And what if I defeat you?"
Chu Yuan took a deep breath.
It wasn't a heart heavy with thoughts but one filled with excitement.
"Fellow daoist jests," if you can defeat me, the position of the Dragon Clan Chief is yours to take! All resources of the Dragon Clan will be at your disposal to manage!"
Ao Tian laughed.
Defeat him? Was that a joke?
He was the Dragon Clan Chief.
In the Dragon Clan, he was the strongest existence, second only to the Old Ancestor.
Defeating him? Wasn't that a pipe dream?
"Is that true?"
"It's true!"
Having received confirmation,
a murderous intent gradually filled Chu Yuan's eyes.
"Fellow daoist, I advise you not to think too much," my fighting prowess is such that on the whole Tianjian Continent, it's hard to find an opponent, you... you..."
The moment Ao Tian wanted to put on an act, to show off to the members of the Dragon Clan watching below,
the next instant, he saw a scene he would never forget.
Chu Yuan stood there, holding a massive light ball in his hand, as grand as the sun itself.
The light ball was so large, several thousand feet in diameter, that just its presence made the surrounding space tremble tremendously, and a suffocating oppressive might emitted from it.
Holding this colossal sun-like light ball, Chu Yuan stepped toward him.
No!
Don't come any closer!!
Ao Tian's eyes widened, his heart shouting in madness.
He desperately wanted Chu Yuan to back off but had no idea how to begin.
Looking at Chu Yuan holding the gigantic light ball.
Ao Tian had a feeling that if he were to be struck by this massive light ball, he would be obliterated.
This sun-like light ball made Ao Tian feel an extreme sense of threat.
This colossal light ball could definitely threaten his life!
"Fellow daoist! Please show mercy!"
Just as Ao Tian felt he was done for, a voice laden with panic reached them.
A colossal dragon shadow flashed by.
The next moment, the figure of an elder appeared in this clearing.
Fellow daoist! Not sure where my Dragon Clan has offended you," please spare us; even if our Dragon Clan has wronged you, there's no need to destroy the entire Dragon Clan!"
This elder, looking at the huge light ball in Chu Yuan's hand, had eyes full of wariness.
Clearly, he too, was very afraid of the massive light ball in Chu Yuan's hand.
Ao Tian, seeing this scene, finally snapped back to reality.
"Old Ancestor! Fellow daoist! It's a misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding! Please withdraw your divine skills, fellow daoist; you've won this spar, I am no match for you!"
Ao Tian quickly spoke out.
Looking at the massive light ball in Chu Yuan's hand, he was truly afraid.
Afraid that Chu Yuan would actually throw it down.
Then he would be finished.
Perhaps not just him, but the entire Dragon Clan would be finished as well.
The oppressive might of the light ball was too strong.
"You admit I've won?"
Chu Yuan paused, and upon hearing this, he didn't intend to throw down the light ball anymore.
After pondering for a moment, he slowly withdrew his hand, dispersing the light ball.
Feeling the oppressive might of the light ball disappear,
not only did Ao Tian breathe a sigh of relief,
but so did the many members of the Dragon Clan who were watching the spectacle.
They too feared being caught up in the battle.
If that really happened, it would be like dying while watching a show; the Dragon Clan would lose face completely.
The mighty Dragon Clan, with most of its members killed while watching a fight, causing the clan to be gravely injured...
If word of this got out, how could they show their faces?
