With the envelopment of Senior Ma's will of soul, the pressure on the lake instantly declined significantly.
The youth holding the water-attributed Dao Tool drew it, and all of the water in the entire lake stirred.
Then, the water formed an incredibly huge water spout that surrounded everyone. At the same time, all the people who cultivated water-attributed Cultivation Techniques made their move.
These people infused their Veritable Essence Energy into the berserk water spout.
The ice-attributed cultivators all created a mysterious phenomenon of snowflakes drifting everywhere, causing cold Qi to spread out.
"Wind!"
At this moment, the wind-attributed cultivators formed a wind barrier around the water spout, sticking very closely to it.
Everyone expended their Veritable Essence Energy, doing their best to endure.
Under Senior Ma's lead, Xiao Chen and the others materialized a final barrier of Veritable Essence Energy.
The strong winds were the outermost layer. The water spout and ice were the second layer. The Veritable Essence Energy shield was the third layer.
This defense was already the limit of what the entire team could manage. No one dared to let down their guard and get careless.
The earlier scene of the dragon flame eruption destroying the many ferocious beasts remained fresh in their minds, sending chills down their spines.
No one knew how long the dragon flame eruption would last, so they could only continue enduring.
"Rumble... !"
Intense explosions reverberated outside. Those sounds came from the strong winds clashing with the dragon flames.
The loud rumbles startled and shocked everyone.
"Pu ci!" A few of the weaker, wind-attributed cultivators could not endure it. Some blood leaked out of the corners of their lips as they paled slightly.
Four hours later, the outermost barrier of strong winds broke. It could no longer protect the water spout.
However, the water spout was created by that youth holding the Dao Tool. It contained a complete Great Dao.
Furthermore, there was assistance from many water-attributed cultivators and ice-attributed cultivators. It could be called the strongest defense.
Outside the barrier, dragon roars echoed endlessly in the nine heavens.
The horrifying Dragon Might shook every corner. Every time a loud sound boomed from the dragon flames, it strained everyone's mind.
Several cultivators with weaker mental states even activated their Great Desolate Eon bloodlines amid the incessant roaring to defend themselves.
The people on the lake held on bitterly; Senior Ma was no exception.
Only Xiao Chen did not, the lone exception.
Xiao Chen possessed the Azure Dragon bloodline. Ordinary Dragon Might did not faze him.
Not only did this Dragon Might not threaten him, but it even gave him a familiar feeling. The dragon roar outside seemed to incite the bloodline in his body, causing it to surge.
However, there was something vaguely different. Xiao Chen could not tell what was wrong.
The Great Desolate Eon Dragon Might lingered on until today.
Xiao Chen could not help thinking, Just the remnant Dragon Might is so strong. I wonder how strong the true pureblood Dragon Race was.
The dragon flame eruption lasted for half the day.
Had it continued for longer, no one could guarantee that they could continue enduring.
Senior Ma stretched out his hand and threw a palm strike. The ice-sealed water spout suddenly shattered with tinkling sounds.
The scene outside reappeared before the eyes of Xiao Chen and the others.
The original lake had vanished, replaced by ground covered in a thick layer of lava. The geography had changed radically. The tall mountains that were there previously were gone, reduced to flatlands.
The desolate land was now a sunken basin. The terrain that everyone remembered had changed beyond recognition in a mere half a day.
The dragon flame turned into fiery clouds, dyeing a slice of the sky bright red, unlikely to disperse much in a short time.
Occasionally, strong winds blew, shattering the clouds. A rain of fire containing the dragon flame would fall noisily.
Even though the dragon flame was greatly weakened, it was still very scary, evoking fear.
As everyone looked around, they were all distracted. This scene was indeed quite shocking.
Who could have thought that in just half a day, the world could change so radically like that?
"The transformation of the world happening in just one thought." Senior Ma could not help sighing softly, moved in his heart.
Before such might, an individual's strength, even a Star Venerate's, felt very insignificant.
"Whoosh!"
Just at this moment, a beam of azure light shot out of the ground in the distance, disappearing in a flash.
The azure light appeared for only a very short time, so short that most people would not have noticed it.
However, the cultivators here were all people with extraordinary eyesight. Nearly all of them managed to see that flash of azure light.
The azure light that appeared clearly was not normal.
Many people turned to the experienced Senior Ma, who had entered the depths of the Dragon Flame Ancient Land before.
Senior Ma did not disappoint everyone. After thinking for a while, he said seriously, "It is Dragon Qi! The dragon flame eruption changed the terrain. At the same time, it also changed the underground world. It has been rumored that there is an ancient dragon city hidden deep under the Dragon Flame Ancient Land. We might have found it."
Leng Feng frowned and said, "A dragon city?"
Senior Ma nodded."That's right, a dragon city. It is said that the Soaring Dragon Great Realm was once the conferred land of one of the Divine Dragon bloodlines. That Divine Dragon bloodline was the strongest in the history of the Dragon Race. Later, for some reason, it declined and vanished.
"However, no matter what, this Dragon Flame Ancient Land has a strong connection with that mysterious Dragon Race. Previously, I heard that someone had seen the dragon city in the depths of the Dragon Flame Ancient Land.
"Unfortunately, the terrain of this Dragon Flame Ancient Land changes frequently. One might chance upon it, but it might be a lifetime before one runs into it again. If it really is the dragon city, then we've hit the jackpot!"
Senior Ma revealed joy on his face, appearing somewhat excited.
At his age, Senior Ma was still pushing very hard, all for an opportunity.
If he did not win his gamble, his cultivation would remain stuck at the Starry Sky Stage Cloud Sea Realm, never to progress any further.
Senior Ma had waited for this opportunity for countless years. His emotions could be easily imagined.
Xiahou Feng said, "I know of the Six Colored Divine Dragons. Could there be another bloodline?"
Leng Feng also looked at Senior Ma, filled with doubts. He had never heard of this before.
Senior Ma already recovered his calm. He replied indifferently, "Just go back and ask your elders. I somewhat lost control of myself earlier. Even if it is the dragon city, it has been tens of thousands of years. I'm not even sure if there is anything left behind."
These three did not hide their conversation. Xiao Chen, who was not far away, overheard it.
His heart immediately thumped heavily. Azure Dragon! It's the Azure Dragon!
This was once the conferred land of the Azure Dragon bloodline. Those of the Azure Dragon bloodline were the masters of this Dragon Flame Ancient Land.
No wonder Xiao Chen felt a sense of familiarity the moment he entered the Dragon Flame Ancient Land.
"Senior Ma, we found where the Dragon Qi appeared!"
A loud cry caused Senior Ma to raise his eyebrows. Then, he immediately broke off the conversation with Leng Feng and Xiahou Feng.
"Whoosh!"
Senior Ma's figure flashed, heading quickly towards that voice.
Xiahou Feng and Leng Feng exchanged glances, their eyes wide with incredulity.
Could it be that there is really an unknown Divine Dragon bloodline of the Dragon Race, and this Dragon Flame Ancient Land was once their conferred land?
After thinking for a while, the two rushed after Senior Ma. The people of the team all gathered around.
"Senior Ma, earlier, we clearly saw it. Another beam of azure light appeared from here. However, it was much weaker and very hard to detect, " that person said to Senior Ma as he pointed at a crack in the ground.
Senior Ma thought for a while before ordering, "Dig!"
With that command, the members of the team all immediately worked together to dig, putting their backs into it.
The ground quickly opened up under Senior Ma's grave expression. That small crack continuously enlarged.
When the team dug down to two hundred meters, a cold wind came from below.
"We reached it!"
A wind meant that there was a cavern below and that the airflow was rather good.
After they continued digging, an obviously man-made tunnel appeared. Joy brightened everyone's face.
"The ancient dragon city! It is definitely the ancient dragon city!"
With a joyful expression, Senior Ma took the lead in entering the tunnel.
The team walked along the tunnel. After a long journey, it finally reached the end of the tunnel.
When the team looked around, it found a rather vast city. There were azure-colored floorboards below, and the surroundings abounded with pavilions, shops, inns, and restaurants—a perfectly preserved ancient city.
However, due to being deep underground, most of the city lay in darkness.
However, this did not prevent the crowd from feeling this city's majesty. It was no inferior to Dragon Flame City, even superior to it.
Leng Feng sized up the surroundings and sighed softly, "It really is an ancient dragon city. The architecture is even more ancient than Dragon Flame City's."
