Chapter 288: Chapter 289: The Third Layer of the Chaos Dragon Tomb

The Chaos Dragon Tomb had nearly claimed his life before. Now that the same thing was happening again, a trace of worry crept into Ye Wushuang’s heart.

Meanwhile, after the figures were devoured, countless more emerged from the void. They were like slaughtering machines, charging forward one after another, heedless of the danger.

Fortunately, the massive vortex was like a Gorgon Giant Beast. It devoured not only Ye Wushuang’s energy but also the incoming figures, accepting all that came.

With the external threat removed, Ye Wushuang focused his attention on the Chaos Dragon Tomb.

One Treasure Medicine after another was completely devoured. Even the Spiritual Pills and Treasure Pills were being consumed relentlessly. He could only focus on sating the Chaos Dragon Tomb for now.

In just half an hour, eighty percent of his resources had been completely devoured.

These resources, if used on a single person, could probably cultivate an expert to the Spiritual Spring Realm.

However, for the "Big Glutton" that was the Chaos Dragon Tomb, it clearly wasn’t enough.

Finally, Ye Wushuang gritted his teeth. He stopped caring about what resources he was losing and allowed it to devour everything, not even sparing the corpse of the Blood-Winged Demon Tiger.

RUMBLE!

Within his Divine Court, the Chaos Dragon Tomb ignored everything, opening wide to devour all power.

Unfortunately, Ye Wushuang’s resources weren’t enough. The tomb could only resort to absorbing his own vital energy and blood. It stopped only after consuming ten percent of it.

Ye Wushuang broke out in a cold sweat. ’I was really worried it would drain me dry again,’ he thought. ’If that happened, I’d have no way to deal with the crisis in the Slaughter Space.’

’Thank goodness, it only took ten percent!’

Ye Wushuang sighed, still shaken by the experience. For him, losing ten percent was manageable.

"Hey, kid, the third level of the Chaos Dragon Tomb is open!"

At the same time, the Dragon Cat’s surprised voice echoed from within the Chaos Space.

Hearing this, a glint appeared in Ye Wushuang’s eyes as he quickly sent his Divine Sense into his Divine Court.

The turbulence in his Divine Court had already subsided. The characters for "Power" and "Emperor" floated above, completely still.

Ye Wushuang’s Divine Sense entered the Chaos Dragon Tomb.

The Chaos Space was constantly expanding. In addition to the Little Sun in the sky, land had now appeared—patches of soil spreading out.

Ye Wushuang felt like an observer, watching changes that resembled the dawn of creation.

WHOOSH!

The Dragon Cat’s figure appeared beside Ye Wushuang. "The third level of the Chaos Dragon Tomb has opened! Just as Lord Cat expected, it actually generated land."

"But I thought you needed to obtain the Five Elements Origin to create a Little World?" Ye Wushuang asked, thoroughly confused.

"The human body is a self-contained Five Elements cycle, so it naturally possesses a trace of the Five Elements Origin. When the Chaos Dragon Tomb devoured your vital energy and blood, it acquired the Earth-elemental Origin."

"However, don’t celebrate too soon. This is just a tiny fraction. To truly generate soil and create a genuine Little Universe, you must find an Earth-elemental Divine Object and integrate it."

The Dragon Cat seemed to know a great deal, rambling on with its explanation.

"A Little Universe?"

’He couldn’t help but wonder if all this effort was just for someone else’s benefit,’ Ye Wushuang thought with a bitter smile.

Sweeping his Divine Sense forward, his gaze fell upon something in the distance. "There seems to be something up ahead?" he murmured in surprise.

WHOOSH!

He took a single step and seemed to traverse space-time itself, covering countless miles in an instant. His speed was so incredible that even the Dragon Cat was shocked.

’In this space, the kid is basically a god.’

The Dragon Cat was green with envy. It muttered to itself before rushing over as well.

Ye Wushuang now stood in the very center of the entire space.

Here stood an altar over a hundred feet tall.

The altar was the color of Chaos and was engraved with countless bas-reliefs of True Dragons. There were Five-Clawed Golden Dragons, Nine-Headed Divine Dragons, Two-Winged True Dragons, and more, all in various poses—baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, looking ferocious and domineering.

Additionally, the altar was also inscribed with mysterious Dragon Script.

At the four cardinal points, four Dragon Carved Stone Pillars stood symmetrically. The place gave Ye Wushuang the feeling of a sacrificial site for True Dragon Priests.

WHOOSH!

The Dragon Cat’s figure landed next to Ye Wushuang.

The moment it landed, its beady eyes lit up with excitement, as if it had spotted a world-shaking treasure.

BOOM!

The Dragon Cat’s body shot across the void like a white, lightning-fast cannonball, heading straight for a Blood Pool at the center of the altar.

Ye Wushuang’s attention was drawn to it as well.

He walked over and saw that the Blood Pool wasn’t large. It was circular, about seven or eight meters in diameter.

It was filled with scarlet blood that bubbled continuously. From time to time, a Dragon Shadow would glide across its surface.

A faint aura drifted out, carrying a mysterious energy of extreme purity. Ye Wushuang’s own blood began to boil in response, a powerful excitement threatening to burst from his body. He felt an impatient urge, his body so eager it was almost uncontrollable, like a lecher who’d stumbled upon a peerless beauty waiting for him in bed.

"What is this?"

Forcefully suppressing the urge, Ye Wushuang turned to the Dragon Cat. Seeing the excited glint in the creature’s eyes, it was obvious it knew what the Blood Pool was.

"Dragon Blood Pool!"

The Dragon Cat spat out three words excitedly, reaching a paw into the Blood Pool.

ROAR!

As if its paw had triggered something, the Blood Pool began to seethe. Ferocious Dragon Shadows shot out from within, and a terrifying Dragon Power forced both Ye Wushuang and the Dragon Cat to retreat.

Countless Dragon Shadows circled above the Dragon Blood Pool, roaring with such ferocity it seemed they would tear the very heavens asunder.

Even for Ye Wushuang, who cultivated the Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body, the endless Dragon Power exerted considerable pressure.

But only for a moment. Immediately afterward, a noble and majestic aura surged from Ye Wushuang’s body, spreading out and repelling the Dragon Power.

This was the Emperor’s Qi manifesting around him!

It was a special ability granted to Ye Wushuang by the Emperor Dao Fruit.

"Dragon Blood Pool... Dragon Blood Pool..." Ye Wushuang murmured. His gaze sharpened as he turned to the Dragon Cat and asked, "The blood inside... it couldn’t be True Dragon Blood, could it?"

"You guessed right! This is the treasure of the Dragon Tomb’s third level!"

The Dragon Cat’s beady eyes were fixed on the Dragon Blood Pool. "This treasure is no simple thing. I’ve seen it before. It’s fused with one part per thousand of True Dragon Blood. The benefits are immense."

"Heh heh!" The Dragon Cat grinned. "What’s more, the True Dragon Blood is replenished once a month. It’s an endless, inexhaustible supply, so there’s no need to worry about using it all. It would be perfect for tempering your Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body."

’It really is True Dragon Blood!’ Ye Wushuang was stunned.

He had obtained a single drop of True Dragon Blood before.

Even that single drop had brought him immense benefits.

But this Dragon Blood Pool contained one part per thousand of Dragon Blood. Its value probably surpassed even that of an Ancient Medicine King.

And since it was replenished monthly, it meant that after he used it, more would appear the following month. He could use it indefinitely. Not only could he temper his Dragon Body, but he could also significantly increase his strength.

Ye Wushuang asked, puzzled, "By the way, where does all this True Dragon Blood come from?"

The Dragon Cat’s eyes darted around. "Who cares where it comes from?" it said impatiently. "Kid, take Lord Cat inside for a taste!"

"You can’t get in?"

A smirk played on Ye Wushuang’s lips.

"This place belongs to you, so how is Lord Cat supposed to get in?" the Dragon Cat grumbled. Gazing at the Dragon Blood Pool surrounded by countless Dragon Shadows, it knew it couldn’t even get close.

Moreover, a mystical power on the altar was actively repelling it. If it hadn’t been following Ye Wushuang, it wouldn’t have even had the chance to stand here.

Therefore, only Ye Wushuang could enter.

And, of course, only Ye Wushuang could take it inside with him.

Curious, Ye Wushuang tried stepping toward the edge of the Dragon Blood Pool. The Dragon Shadows didn’t repel him.

But then he pulled his foot back. His priority was dealing with the crisis in the Slaughter Space outside; now was not the time to enter the Dragon Blood Pool. Besides, if he brought this gluttonous Dragon Cat with him, there was no telling how quickly it would devour everything.

"We’ll deal with this later," Ye Wushuang said, turning to the Dragon Cat. "You stay put and don’t try any funny business."

He shot the Dragon Cat a stern warning. The creature was far too crafty; if he wasn’t careful, the Dragon Blood Pool might be gone the next time he came in, and it would be too late for regrets.

With that said, Ye Wushuang turned to leave.

But as he turned, his gaze unintentionally fell upon the four Dragon Carved Stone Pillars. He froze, as if he had discovered something new.
