Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 939: Seven-Star Azure Dragon
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
Back in the Daluo Region's underground palace, Ye Yun had witnessed the Dragon Candle Branch incubating dragon eggs before.
There were far more eggs hatching there than the ones present now.
In this place, seven dragon eggs soaked within seven blood pools, while cultivators nearby kept channeling spells into them.
No matter the angle...
It looked like they were attempting to turn those dragon eggs into magical artifacts.
Yet Ye Yun understood it couldn't be so straightforward.
How could a simple dragon egg become any noteworthy magical artifact?
"Sir, here's the freshest offering from the Red-blood Tribe—top-grade Azure Dragon Blood. Take a look, please!"
A red-robed man approached the seventh blood pool, clutching a jade bottle.
Right here.
Besides the seven or eight masked figures in red robes.
A dominant presence stood out, wearing a golden mask and draped in a red robe.
The golden-masked man snatched the jade bottle, peered inside, and his eyes widened in shock.
"This Azure Dragon Blood's quality is outstanding! Hahaha, heaven itself is on our side!"
The golden-masked man burst into loud laughter.
"Sir, once we pour this Azure Dragon Blood into the pool and the dragon egg absorbs it, won't it nurture a star?"
Gazing at the egg in the pool, the red-robed man to the right smiled faintly.
A star?
What's that supposed to mean?
Ye Yun's interest stirred upon catching their words.
Stars manifesting on dragon eggs—what scheme were these folks pursuing?
Setting up some array with dragon eggs?
Regardless of the view, this bizarre endeavor seemed hardly worth the danger.
While Ye Yun mulled it over.
"It's nearly complete now."
The golden-masked man chuckled softly, flinging the jade bottle upward so the Azure Dragon Blood poured down onto the dragon egg.
Though the Azure Dragon Blood stemmed from Ye Yun's transformation, he chose not to expose himself yet, so he let it get absorbed by the egg.
As it entered the dragon egg.
A ghostly star speck instantly materialized inside the egg, as Ye Yun observed.
Silver-white in hue, the star speck extended over the whole dragon egg.
By now, the embryonic life inside had turned utterly blood-red, obscuring its true shape.
Nevertheless.
As the Ancestor Dragon, Ye Yun identified it immediately.
An Azure Dragon Egg it was.
Prolonged soaking had distorted the little Azure Dragon beyond recognition.
The young Azure Dragon hadn't fully emerged, having only partially incubated.
Upon the influx of Ye Yun's Azure Dragon Blood, the tiny creature trembled fiercely, unleashing a mighty pull.
"Intriguing—I wonder what game you're playing."
Ye Yun sneered to himself.
With just a thought, he summoned a drop of Ancestral Dragon Blood from nowhere.
The moment this drop emerged, the tiny Azure Dragon went berserk, thrashing wildly as its suction grew even stronger.
"Go!"
Ye Yun whispered.
The drop of Ancestral Dragon Blood surged into the Azure Dragon's form.
One drop of Ancestral Dragon Blood outmatched endless Azure Dragon Blood drops.
They weren't even in the same league.
Utterly incomparable.
Having taken in that drop of Ancestral Dragon Blood, the little Azure Dragon evolved at breakneck speed, solidifying the phantom star speck within.
Beyond the blood pool.
"What's happening? The evolution's accelerating out of nowhere—way too quick!"
Shock gripped the golden-masked man as he stared, stunned, at the dragon egg's dramatic shift.
"Sir, our scheme is on the verge of triumph. With luck, we'll nurture the Seven-Star Azure Dragon this time!"
The left-side red-robed man exclaimed in thrill.
"It will succeed for sure. After years of toil and repeated failures, the Seven-Star Azure Dragon shall emerge victorious this round!"
The right-side red-robed masked man pumped his fist, voice aflame with passion.
At that instant.
Every red-robed figure in the hall halted, eyes locked on the spectacle, faces alight with fervor.
"Excellent, the seventh dragon egg will hatch at last. We'll definitely spark a star point this go!"
"Wonderful, our labors are bearing fruit!"
The group buzzed with excitement.
Seven-Star Azure Dragon?
From the outer voices, Ye Yun rummaged through his recollections, yet found no trace of such a beast.
"What dragon is this? I've never encountered mention of it."
Ye Yun muttered.
Suddenly, enlightenment dawned in his thoughts.
"Are these fellows perhaps breeding a brand-new species?"
An idea like this abruptly flashed through Ye Yun’s thoughts.
The notion of a new species sent icy shivers racing down Ye Yun’s spine.
What devious plot do these cunning figures harbor by forging a fresh Divine Dragon?
Seven Stars—the chief covert force that orchestrated the Dragon Clan’s annihilation.
At present, they’re fusing the Seven Stars together with an Azure Dragon.
Such a dreadful technique—what purpose does it truly serve?
It’s tantamount to.
Compelling two archenemies to merge as one.
In Ye Yun’s eyes.
The whole affair struck him as utterly bizarre.
From inside the dragon egg.
Ye Yun saw the little Azure Dragon undergo rapid evolution, only to halt abruptly at a critical stage.
Simultaneously.
The silver star point at last took firm shape.
"Haha, the star point has appeared!"
Beyond the blood pool, the golden-masked man erupted in boisterous laughter.
Right before everyone’s eyes, a silver star point gradually emerged on the deep-crimson dragon egg.
The star point emitted brilliant silver glow.
Bathing the vast blood-red pool in dazzling splendor.
"Perfect, the moment is here—the other six stars, rise!"
The golden-masked man bellowed, his face ablaze with boundless zeal.
At the side of every blood pool.
The red-robed figures frantically formed hand seals, pouring torrents of incantations into the dragon eggs submerged in the pools.
A silver star point manifested on the dragon egg within the first blood pool.
Following that, the dragon egg in the second blood pool unveiled its own silver star point.
The third blood pool...
The fourth blood pool...
...
Continuing to the sixth blood pool, every single dragon egg displayed a silver star point.
The vast hall.
Shone with majestic brilliance from the seven silver star points beaming their light.
Beneath that silvery sheen, frenzied gazes gleamed starkly through the masks.
"Break the shell!"
Fixated on the seven silver star points, the golden-masked man trembled with excitement, unleashing a thunderous roar.
Fresh waves of spells flooded into the dragon eggs once more.
Crack, crack, crack...
Shell-shattering noises reverberated across the hall.
Precisely then, the dragon eggs across the seven blood pools fractured all at once.
Crimson beams burst forth from each dragon egg, suspended motionlessly above the blood pools.
"These Azure Dragons clearly weren’t fully grown, yet they’ve hatched prematurely..."
Ye Yun’s face grew grave as he eyed the seven underdeveloped Azure Dragons floating over the pools—a horrifying hypothesis dawned in his mind.
