Chapter 5503 Fake Dragon Scale?

“What you want to absorb isn’t this dragon scale. Well, even your Dragonblood warriors shouldn’t absorb this reverse scale,” said the Dragon Sovereign.

Long Chen was startled. From its tone, it was as if this dragon scale was simply too inferior for them, which was rather shocking.

“The will of this reverse scale has dissipated long ago. It cannot be absorbed,” sighed the Dragon Sovereign.

“Dissipated?” Long Chen asked.

The reverse scale’s power had been astounding. It had even matched the will of the Nether Emperor. What could be wrong with it?

The Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign was silent for a moment before saying, “Because the dragon race it was protecting for all these years couldn’t fulfill its requirements, the dragon soul gradually lost confidence and patience. After producing a deviant soul, it absorbed a portion of the dragon scale’s power and left the Dragon Domain in search of someone who could inherit its will. What remains is this soulless dragon scale. That’s why the Nether Emperor didn’t treat it as a threat. If the Dragonblood Legion hadn’t been able to endure and channel its dragon blood power, it would have been nothing more than a decoration.”

Hearing this, Long Chen couldn’t help but feel shocked. The dragon race was truly prideful—even a reverse scale possessed its own will and pride. Because the Dragon Domain’s heavenly geniuses couldn’t obtain its approval, it ended up abandoning them rather than lowering its requirements. It left without caring about the Dragon Domain’s survival—truly merciless.

Long Chen suddenly understood why the Silver Hair Void Crusher had dared to come despite knowing about the existence of this reverse scale. He had definitely known about this, or he wouldn’t have dared to act so arrogantly in the Dragon Domain.

Whether it was the Silver Hair Void Crusher or the Nether Emperor, they all knew that this dragon scale couldn’t threaten them, so they dared to barge into the Dragon Domain.

Sadly, the Nether Emperor had never expected the interference of the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign. Through Long Chen’s hands, the Dragon Sovereign mobilized the reverse scale’s power and injured the Nether Emperor.

“You kept a portion of its power. That’s also good. Well, change of plan. I’ll teach you a secret art of the dragon race. You can use it to open a new minor world. But doing so will require all your power, so you should rest first,” said the Dragon Sovereign.

The patriarchs, race leaders, and higher-ups of the Dragon Domain had gathered, all staring at Long Chen reverently. Even though he was just a Heaven Saint, they no longer showed the slightest haughtiness around him.

Long Chen’s heaven-shaking power and immense intelligence had completely won them over. This was the charisma of a peerless commander.

Most importantly, even the sovereign dragon reverse scale—which none of them had been able to activate over countless years—had been mobilized by Long Chen. Those who had scoffed at the rumors about the sovereign dragon reverse scale now finally believed them.

Even the patriarchs treated Long Chen respectfully now, waiting for his orders.

“Patriarchs, it’s been hard on you. Gather all the warriors who participated in this battle, and quickly recover your energy. In a bit, I’ll have a bit of good news for you all. As for those children who didn’t participate, they can clean up the battlefield. Don’t throw away or destroy the corpses of the traitors. Gather them for me,” said Long Chen, directly giving orders.

At the start of the battle, the majority of the Dragon Domain’s experts had been prepared to die. However, some were too weak and had to hide within the Ten Thousand Dragon Nests.

Now, it just so happened that they could be of some use. Long Chen was practically a god to them, so they immediately got to work without complaint.

The sovereign dragon reverse scale continued to hang in the sky, its light covering the battlefield. Just as the Dragon Sovereign said, it was essentially a dead object now. After being summoned by Long Chen, it showed no will of its own. As long as Long Chen ignored it, it simply continued to float in the sky.

The battle had just ended, and the Dragon Domain was badly damaged. Only this dragon scale could protect them. With it there, no one dared to try anything funny.

The Dragon Domain’s children worked hard. But due to their lack of experience, they weren’t very organized and thus weren’t doing too well. In the end, the higher-ups couldn’t bear watching them struggle and started to direct them.

Long Chen stayed with the Dragonblood warriors. They were all exceptionally excited and unable to calm down. They had actually exchanged blows with the Nether Emperor. Just being able to say that they had once exchanged blows with him would be enough to scare countless people to death.

Every person had their own vanity, and the Dragonblood warriors were no exception. Of course, they weren’t like Guo Ran and Bai Xiaole, who were so excited that they sang and danced.

Bai Xiaole directly knelt and shouted, “Dad, Mom, your child is now capable of fighting the Nether Emperor!”

On the other hand, Guo Ran tried to act more low-key, but he couldn’t even sit still. He kept wanting to show off, which was truly comical.

However, no one laughed at them. After all, this was the Nether Emperor, one of the world’s strongest fighters. Even dying to him would have been enough to leave their names in history.

On the other hand, Long Chen didn’t care about the Nether Emperor. After all, he had received the legacy of the Nine Star Master, who had destroyed the Nether Emperor and Ghost Sovereign back then. This little skirmish was nothing.

Long Chen sat in the air, entering his meditative state to recover. Seeing this, the others felt embarrassed and started to recuperate as well.

Watching Long Chen instantly enter a meditative state despite the excitement around him, the Dragon Domain’s experts were amazed. What was a peerless expert? Long Chen was the prime example!

Even against the terrifying Nether Emperor, Long Chen had shown no fear and wasn’t the slightest bit enticed by the Nether Emperor’s offer. After driving him off, Long Chen didn’t immerse himself in self-satisfaction. Seeing this, the Dragon Domain’s experts realized that Long Chen’s greatness was not just in his martial power but in all aspects.

Mo Yang, Chi Wufeng, and the other once-arrogant sealed monsters had sworn to challenge Long Chen, but they now acknowledged their inferiority. Yet, rather than despair, they felt a surge of exhilaration. To walk alongside such a peerless figure was a privilege. They no longer needed to overthink their path; simply following in his footsteps would lead them to the pinnacle of this world.

Seeing Long Chen and the others focus on their recovery, the Dragon Domain’s experts also calmed down and started recuperating.

Three days later, the battlefield was cleaned up, and everyone had fully recovered, looking lively. After experiencing this immense battle, the Dragon Domain’s experts had completely transformed, their auras sharper and more focused, like freshly forged blades tempered by the fires of battle.

In contrast, the patriarchs had visibly weakened. Their vitality was greatly diminished, and they looked way older than before. The grueling battle had drained their longevity, leaving them frailer than ever. Yet, their eyes shone with satisfaction. The revival of the Dragon Domain filled them with hope.

The children of the dragon race had already awoken, and under Long Chen’s guidance, they were walking toward the right path.

It wouldn’t be long before these children surpassed them, becoming the future pillars of the dragon race. The patriarchs no longer needed to cling to life out of duty; they could now let go with peace, knowing the future was secure.

At this moment, the voice of the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign resonated in Long Chen’s mind.

“You can start now.”
