Chapter 858 Chu Mochen's Secret: Dragon Clan's Reverse Scale
Outside the Falling Star Canyon, the wind howled fiercely, and the inky clouds hung low, as if a devastating rainstorm might unleash at any moment. Yun Yao gazed at the radiant blue Taiyin Star Essence in her hand, but she felt no joy at all. Chu Mochen's face grew paler, the corpse poison coursing through his body, corroding his meridians. Every breath was accompanied by a subtle tremor.
"Mo Chen, let's find a place to go into seclusion first. I will use the Taiyin Star Marrow to detoxify you." Yun Yao reached out to support the staggering Chu Mo Chen, her voice full of worry.
Chu Mochen forced a smile and tried to comfort Yun Yao, but suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood, staining Yun Yao's clothes red. Yun Yao's heart suddenly tightened, and a flash of panic flashed in her eyes. At this moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out: "A powerful dragon aura has been detected, and it is rapidly approaching!"
Before he finished speaking, a flash of golden light flashed across the sky, and nine enormous dragons roared in, their mighty power overwhelming and their pressure descending like a physical object. Yun Yao felt her entire body sink, as if a mountain were bearing down on her, making even breathing difficult. Chu Mochen suddenly stood upright, his aura suddenly shifting, and a powerful aura comparable to that of the dragons burst forth from him.
The leading dragon transformed into a humanoid figure, a white-haired old man with eyes as sharp as an eagle. The dragon-scale armor on his body shone with a mysterious light. He stared at Chu Mochen, his eyes full of shock and disbelief: "Prince Zhulong! You are still alive!"
Yun Yao's heart trembled as she turned to look at Chu Mochen. Chu Mochen's brows were furrowed, a flicker of confusion and pain in his eyes, as if he were trying to recall something. "You've got the wrong person. I'm not some Prince Zhulong." Chu Mochen's voice was icy, and he had grasped the Nilin Blood Sword in his hand without realizing it.
The old dragon sneered, "How can the Candle Dragon bloodline be easily concealed? Thousands of years ago, you were sealed for the sin of the Reverse Scale, yet I never thought you would escape. Today, you must return to the Dragon Abyss Sea with us and accept the judgment of the dragon clan!"
As the old man finished speaking, the other eight dragons roared and breathed out, instantly forming a huge dragon-shaped barrier around them, trapping Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. Yun Yao sensed the powerful force contained in the barrier and secretly became alert. At the same time, she circulated her spiritual energy, ready to fight at any time.
"If you want to take him away, you'll have to get past me first!" Yun Yao cried out, unleashing her Chaos Dao Foundation. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was instantly drawn in, condensing into a brilliant halo around her. The aura emanating from her Chaos Dao Foundation collided with the dragon barrier, causing a violent vibration.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the old dragon: "Chaos Daoji! I didn't expect you to possess such a magical object. But even so, it can't save Prince Zhulong!" After that, a golden sword appeared in his hand. The sword was engraved with ancient dragon runes. It was the dragon clan's treasure, the Nilin Blood Sword.
The moment Chu Mochen saw the sword, his pupils suddenly shrank, and countless images suddenly flashed through his mind: the magnificent Longyuanhai Palace, the fierce battle, and the scene of himself being besieged by his clansmen... The severe pain came, and Chu Mochen couldn't help but kneel on one knee, holding his head with both hands, and let out a painful roar.
"Mo Chen!" Yun Yao was extremely anxious and wanted to rush over, but was abruptly blocked by the power of the dragon clan's barrier. She turned and glared at the dragon clan elder: "What did you do to him?"
The old dragon ignored Yun Yao and shouted at Chu Mochen, "Prince Zhulong, have you forgotten the rules of the dragon clan? Those who go against the dragon's scales will die! You violated the ancestral teachings and tried to change the fate of the dragon clan. Do you still want to escape punishment now?"
Chu Mochen's body began to tremble uncontrollably, a golden and red light flickering in his eyes, his Candle Dragon bloodline forcibly awakening. He slowly stood up, his eyes no longer tender, replaced by a cold and overbearing aura: "I, Chu Mochen, never accept fate as my destiny! Today, not even the dragon clan can stop me!"
As soon as the words fell, the Ni Lin Blood Sword in Chu Mochen's hand burst into a dazzling light, resonating strongly with the sword in the hands of the old dragon. The two powerful forces collided, forming a huge shock wave that tore the surrounding space into cracks.
Yun Yao seized the opportunity and used her spatial folding ability to finally break through the dragon's barrier. She rushed towards Chu Mochen, wanting to lend him a hand, but suddenly found a flash of murderous intent in Chu Mochen's eyes, and that murderous intent was actually directed at her!
"Be careful! After the Candle Dragon bloodline awakens, it will lose its mind and only know how to kill!" The system's warning sounded. Yun Yao was shocked and quickly stepped back. Chu Mochen's sword grazed her cheek, leaving a bloody mark.
At this critical moment, Yun Yao suddenly remembered what the System Lord had said before: Chu Mochen's true identity was a "fate-defying person" born when the "Dao of Heaven" was broken. He and her "ethereal body" were two sides of the same coin. She gritted her teeth, unleashing the spiritual energy within her without reservation, while simultaneously mobilizing the power of her Chaos Dao Foundation and shouting, "Mochen! Wake up! We are one!"
Yun Yao's voice seemed to possess magical power. Chu Mochen paused slightly, and the murderous intent in his eyes seemed to fade slightly. The dragon elder seized the opportunity to attack, and a golden dragon-shaped sword energy shot towards Chu Mochen. Without a second thought, Yun Yao directly blocked Chu Mochen's way, and her Chaos Dao Foundation transformed into a shield, barely blocking the attack.
"Why...save me..." Chu Mochen's voice was filled with confusion and pain. Yun Yao looked at him, her eyes full of determination: "Because you are Chu Mochen, the one I want to protect! Whether you are the Prince of Zhulong or a person who defies fate, you can't change that!"
When the old dragon saw that his attack was blocked, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished! In that case, don't blame me for being rude!" He waved his hand, and the other eight dragons attacked at the same time. Dragon breath, dragon claws, and dragon clan secret techniques emerged one after another, and the entire space was shrouded in powerful force.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood back to back. Although Chu Mochen's aura was still unstable, he was able to barely control the Candle Dragon bloodline. The two of them simultaneously unleashed their respective magical powers and launched a thrilling battle with the dragon clan.
During the battle, Yun Yao suddenly discovered that the dragon's attack seemed to be deliberately channeling Chu Mochen's power, fully stimulating his Candle Dragon bloodline. She was startled, realizing this might be a conspiracy by the dragon. At this moment, the elder of the dragon clan suddenly summoned a mysterious formation, revealing countless ancient dragon runes that enveloped Chu Mochen and Yun Yao.
"Zhulong Return Formation! Activate!" the old dragon shouted, and a powerful suction force erupted from the formation, sending Chu Mochen flying uncontrollably towards the center. Yun Yao tried to hold him back, but was repelled by an invisible force.
"No!" Yun Yao struggled desperately, but to no avail. She watched Chu Mochen being sucked into the formation, her heart filled with despair. At this moment, the system's voice rang out again: "Special energy fluctuations detected. At the bottom of the Dragon Abyss Sea, there are items related to Chu Mochen's horoscope! Perhaps we can break this situation!"
Yun Yao's eyes flashed, and hope rekindled within her. She took a deep breath, mobilizing the full force of her Chaos Dao Foundation, and launched a fierce attack on the formation. Under her attack, a crack appeared in the formation. Seizing the opportunity, Yun Yao unleashed her spatial folding ability, forcing her way into the center of the formation.
At this point, Chu Mochen had been controlled by the power of the formation. His eyes were empty and he had completely lost consciousness. Yun Yao rushed over, hugged Chu Mochen, and injected her spiritual energy into him, trying to wake him up. "Mochen, wake up! We still have an unfinished mission!"
Thanks to Yun Yao's efforts, Chu Mochen's eyes finally regained some focus. He looked at Yun Yao, his lips curled up slightly: "Yao'er... I'm sorry..."
"Don't talk about this, let's get out of here together!" Yun Yao said firmly. At this moment, the Dragon Elder launched another attack, a massive golden beam of light shooting towards them. Yun Yao protected Chu Mochen behind her, ready to take on this fatal blow.
At the critical moment, Chu Mochen suddenly opened his eyes, a golden and red light blazing in them. A force even more powerful than before erupted from his body. The Ni Lin Blood Sword in his hand automatically flew up, resonating with the sword in the hands of the dragon elder once again. The two forces merged into a huge sword energy, slashing towards the dragon elder.
The old dragon clan member was surprised to find that Chu Mochen could break free under such circumstances. He quickly used his secret method to resist. However, the sword energy was too powerful and directly broke through his defense and injured his body.
Taking advantage of the dragon clan's shock, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen teamed up to unleash their strongest attack, completely destroying the Candle Dragon Returning Formation. Afterwards, they broke through the dragon clan's encirclement and flew towards the Dragon Abyss Sea.
Longyuan Sea, this mysterious and ancient place, what secrets and challenges will be waiting for them? Yun Yao tightly grasped Chu Mochen's hand, secretly vowing in her heart that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, she would face them together, uncover all the truths, and protect each other's fate.
