Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 940: Under the Command of Lord Nine-Tails

Ye Yun's brows furrowed.

Seven Azure Dragons, not yet fully hatched, had now surfaced, hovering suspended in the air. Were they planning to merge...?

As Ye Yun mulled over this.

Suddenly, the sparkling star specks atop the dragon eggs vaulted upward, lingering in mid-air.

Silver brilliance flared, bathing the vast hall in light.

Seven silver stars aligned into the Big Dipper pattern overhead.

"This array pulses with a profound essence of life..."

Confronted by this unheard-of seven-star array, Ye Yun experienced a momentary jolt.

The seven Azure Dragons bellowed toward the heavens, surging into the seven-star array.

Each Azure Dragon linked perfectly with its matching star speck.

The instant the star speck merged with the Azure Dragon.

Suspended aloft, the forms of the seven Azure Dragons ballooned outward, initiating their merger.

Deep within the grand hall.

The robed figures observed the spectacle with bated breath, their faces alight with wild exhilaration.

"The Seven-Star Azure Dragon's triumph teeters on a knife's edge!"

Observing the shifts unfolding in the void, the masked man intoned in a deep, fervently thrilled voice.

"Sir, success is certain. Our Ancient Pupa Lineage has labored endlessly for this day. Heaven upholds justice and won't forsake us!"

The robed man to the right flung his arms wide, proclaiming assuredly.

"Well put! Matters unfold precisely as anticipated, and the Seven-Star Azure Dragon will manifest before long!"

The masked man roared with laughter.

The leader's declaration ignited boundless thrill among all robed figures in the hall.

Still, they stifled their breaths, riveted on the void's evolving miracle.

Like liquid silver, the glow fully shrouded the immense form.

Within that silver sheen, seven hazy luminous clusters blazed with splendor.

Slowly, a draconic silhouette coalesced amid the silver radiance.

"Ancient Pupa Lineage?"

Ye Yun murmured the words softly, struck by sudden insight.

All four chief branches of the Dragon-rearing Clan stood revealed to him at last.

Coffin Raising, Dragon Candle, Ancient Pupa, Dragon Tomb.

These four branches lurked in secrecy throughout the Divine Land.

Traces of the Dragon-raisers persisted even on Cangnan Continent.

Ye Yun turned his gaze back to the void.

A colossal dark cyan dragon gradually materialized in the silver light.

This dark cyan behemoth strongly evoked the Azure Dragon.

Except.

Seven star specks adorned the dark cyan giant dragon's body.

Those seven specks shaped an arcane seven-star array, fused seamlessly with the Azure Dragon.

In Ye Yun's eyes.

This lineage, though clinging to Dragon Clan vestiges, had surpassed its origins, birthing a new breed.

Hence, it stirred in Ye Yun a blend of recognition and alienation.

Ye Yun's form shimmered, instantly reappearing behind the masked man.

The masked man's power reached merely the Seventh Level of the God Venerate Realm.

Even so, it topped the strength of anyone else in this Ancient Pupa Lineage group.

Thus, Ye Yun's stealthy arrival went utterly undetected.

He morphed from his prior blood guise into a silver-masked, red-cloaked individual.

Right then.

A robed figure before Ye Yun vanished abruptly.

Via Ten Thousand Changes at Heart, he assumed that robed figure's likeness.

Ye Yun moved ahead, advancing two paces.

Coming to a halt ten feet behind the masked man.

"Sir, is this Seven-Star Azure Dragon stronger than typical Dragon Clans?"

Ye Yun queried in hushed tones.

"Naturally, powerful. You must know that Seven-Star Azure Dragon is a legendary great creature, far exceeding ordinary dragon clans. If judging by its lineage, it’s comparable to the Ten Super Divine Dragons..."

The masked man responded on reflex.

Once the words escaped.

A nagging wrongness hit him; he spun sharply toward the robed figure at his back.

His beam-like stare probed Ye Yun relentlessly.

"Have you lost your mind? How can you not even know about the Seven-Star Azure Dragon?"

The masked man demanded, frowning deeply.

This follower appeared unchanged, yet his faculties faltered inexplicably?

"Sir, I’m not sure what’s wrong. Anyway, many things I can’t remember clearly!"

Ye Yun mustered a wry smile in reply.

"You seem out of sorts, take off the mask and let me see!"

The masked man commanded icily.

Ye Yun eased off the mask, baring a youthful countenance.

"Strange, nothing has changed about you, so how suddenly did you forget many things?"

After scrutinizing the familiar features for seconds, the masked man shook his head in bewilderment.

"Sir, I’m not sure. My mind was just muddled, and suddenly many things I couldn’t recall..."

Ye Yun feigned an abashed look deliberately.

"After the Seven-Star Azure Dragon completes its full evolution, just take a short rest, and you’ll recover completely..."

With an impatient wave of his hand, the masked man spoke.

"Thank you, sir!"

A smile appeared on Ye Yun’s face as he replied.

Frowning deeply, the masked man spun back around, his eyes fixed on the void where the Seven-Star Azure Dragon had nearly finished its evolution.

Spanning hundreds of feet in length, its massive form was clad in dark cyan, oval-shaped dragon scales that gleamed with silvery brilliance.

Seven distinct spots stretched across its body, from the space between its brows all the way to its tail tip—seven stellar points in total.

These seven star points radiated with dazzling light, emanating an enigmatic energy.

Buzz!

A tremor ran through the Seven-Star Azure Dragon as it unleashed a tremendous aura into the atmosphere, forcing every cloaked figure present to drop to their knees instantly.

The masked man was among them.

"Greetings, Sir Seven-Star Azure Dragon!"

Kneeling on the ground, the masked man uttered the words with thrilled fervor.

"You’ve roused me from eons of deep sleep and forged a new seven-star dragon body for me amid all this uproar—what do you seek?"

Profound and silver-shimmering, the Seven-Star Azure Dragon’s gaze held endless cycles of vast and tiny universes flickering in and out of existence within its depths.

An unfathomable, primordial, and arcane aura poured from its form.

This presence felt utterly alien to the beings of the Divine Land.

"Sir Seven-Star Azure Dragon, we hail from the Ancient Pupa Lineage of the Dragon-rearing Clan. Our lord ordered us to craft this fresh body for you, enabling your arrival in the Divine Land to reclaim the mighty legacy of the Seven-Star Azure Dragon!"

Fists tightly clenched, the masked man declared with burning excitement.

"Who is your lord?"

With a chilling downward glare from its eyes, the Seven-Star Azure Dragon demanded in a resonant, grave tone.

"We of the Dragon-rearing Clan serve under Lord Nine-tailed!"

The masked man answered promptly.

"Nine-tailed?"

A momentary haze clouded the Seven-Star Azure Dragon’s features, as though dredging up buried recollections, yet its eyes soon sharpened with sudden recognition.

"Ah, so it’s that Nine-tailed one. Little surprise it vanished before—it must have slipped into this realm..."

Calmly, the Seven-Star Azure Dragon remarked.

"..."

The masked man fell silent for a beat, grasping from the Seven-Star Azure Dragon’s words that neither Lord Nine-tailed nor the dragon hailed from this world.

"The true force steering the Dragon-rearing Clan is none other than the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon..."

Their exchange reached Ye Yun’s ears.

Icy coldness filled Ye Yun’s gaze, while a fierce killing intent boiled within his chest.
