I have the best bloodline

The Dragon Clan has four Dragon Kings as its enemies, while the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has four enemies besides the Qingqiu Twin Heroes, Tushan Clan, and Yousu Clan, who are not present: the Lord of Daylight, the Ancestor of the Pride Insect Clan, the Emperor of No Life, and the Lord of Night.

The fox that Ao Renlin harmed came from the You Su clan, and Emperor Wusheng's mother also came from the You Su clan.

If the Nine-Tailed Fox were to actually make a move, Emperor Wusheng would likely intervene out of consideration for their blood ties and alliance.

Surrounded by enemies, Ao Renlin was still able to eat and drink tea with a calm expression, not even worried that this meal might be his last. The Lord of Daylight really didn't know whether Ao Renlin was just carefree or had a lot of confidence.

"Let's fight! I'll pick up every one that dies, and then I'll get Old Ghost to make some souvenirs. Let's fight!"

The Blissful Immortal, his face beaming with delight, leaned back, placing his feet on the table to stretch his body as far away as possible, and held a recording crystal in his hand to capture the expressions of all the leaders present.

"At that time, I will sell the photos of you fighting each other for 10,000 catties each. Then, I will launch a collector's edition with 200,000 catties of spirit stones per photo, and include a piece of material that fell out during your fight."

It's quite common for materials to drop randomly when demons fight.

Moreover, this place is close to the western state, so we can definitely find the sect leader of the Weapon Sect to refine some souvenirs.

"A simple home-cooked meal can't take my head; I, Ao, dare not boast of my own power."

Ao Renlin picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, glanced at the Lord of Daylight, and said:

"But esteemed ancestors, if you do not reveal some of your secrets, I am afraid you will not be able to keep me here."

Ao Renlin dared to appear here when the Dragon King of the West Sea was holding a banquet, which naturally gave him confidence.

Of course, the so-called confidence here does not refer to the fact that one can single-handedly take on leaders from all over the world.

Instead, he possesses the confidence to look the leaders in the eye and can come and go freely without being coerced by them. If a war were to break out, Ao Renlin doesn't think he could withstand many of the old monsters' powerful attacks.

With their cultivation levels locked, these old monsters are all using other means to increase their combat power.

Ao Renlin is unaware of the other old monsters' trump cards, but as for Emperor Wusheng, if a True Immortal at his peak wanted to invade the territory of the Xia Yu Dynasty, he could easily annihilate the True Immortal with a single sword strike if he angered Emperor Wusheng.

These strengths are not due to cheating or hacking, but rather are better described as having a solid foundation.

It was the power that Emperor Yu left to Yu and his descendants to defend the interests of the Xia people before his death.

Even in the Immortal Realm, those resources are considered extremely high-end, and not something that some lowly True Immortal could easily exploit.

There are thirteen people in the cultivation world as ruthless as the Emperor Wusheng.

These are the leaders of the five continents and four seas among the celestial beings, as well as some observers of the development of the cultivation world.

However, forcibly activating those powers before the arrival of celestial energy comes comes at a price.

Ao Renlin was confident to sit here and eat precisely because he knew these things.

This meal is just a casual meal; it won't cost you your life!

Chapter 437 The Nature of Death

"click"

Invited by the Black Dragon King, Ao Renlin immediately began to feast at the table. The table, which should have been silent, was filled with the soft sounds of white jade chopsticks colliding with soft jade bowls.

"The world."

The moment Ao Renlin put down his chopsticks, the space behind the Black Dragon King gradually distorted and deepened. An ancient, unyielding glacial world approached from afar, enveloping Ao Renlin and the Dragon Kings, before moving away to another location.

The following matter concerns the secrets of the Dragon Clan and is not suitable for other cultivators to participate in.

If the negotiations fail, Ao Renlin will inevitably be executed; if they succeed, then the Four Dragon Kings will side with the Dragon Father.

"Father--"

When Su Yan saw his father being taken away, he instinctively wanted to jump onto the table to follow, but the Emperor Wusheng behind him raised his left hand and pinched the back of Su Yan's neck with his thumb and forefinger, stopping him in front of the table and preventing him from jumping onto it.

"Wait quietly," Emperor Wusheng said slowly.

Su Yan couldn't go with them. If Ao Renlin's negotiations failed, he would be captured and taken back to the Dragon Clan to have children. If Su Yan went with them, wouldn't they all be caught in one fell swoop?

Su Yan not only has dragon blood, but also the blood of a nine-tailed fox. If the foxes knew that Su Yan had joined the glorious breeding of the dragon race, they would go mad.

Emperor Wusheng only protected Su Yan and had no interest in escalating the private matter between the two clans into a tribal war.

"Waaaaah"

Su Yan, held in the hands of the Unborn Emperor, looked at him with a dejected expression and whimpered twice.

........................

At the same time, in another space, the figures of the Four Dragon Kings and Ao Renlin appeared and landed in a quiet courtyard with dim lighting. The sound of a babbling brook reached the surroundings, and creatures that looked like ice crystals hid in various places in the quiet courtyard as if frightened when they saw strangers coming.

"Let's sit down and talk! There's no need for this shouting and yelling."

The Black Dragon King landed in the courtyard, sat cross-legged in his usual cultivation spot, and raised his hand to indicate that the other dragon kings and Ao Renlin could find any spot they wanted.

Since Ao Renlin had come to him, saying he wanted to repay the Dragon Clan for their nurturing, the Black Dragon King believed that Ao Renlin had made thorough preparations. Now, let's see what Ao Renlin has to say. If he can't persuade the Four Seas Dragon Kings, he should know what the outcome will be.

Therefore, there is no need for either side to get angry and yell at each other to see who can shout the loudest.

Moreover, being loud doesn't necessarily mean you're in the right.

"Our ancestor was wise."

Ao Renlin offered a flattering remark, then casually found a seat and said, "I believe that all of you elders have already learned from the West Sea Dragon King's letter that I have now obtained a portion of the power of the Timely and Virtuous Dragon."

When the name Yingde was mentioned, both Ao Renlin and the other three Dragon Kings subconsciously looked at the West Sea Dragon King, who was sitting on a carpet mat with his legs up.

"Go away, go away, what are you all looking at me for?" The Dragon King of the West Sea waved his hand to indicate that they were talking about serious matters and not to get involved.

"The power of the Nightmare Suppression Technique is meaningless; it can even be described as a trap. I personally witnessed Emperor Xia Yu's soul disintegrate before my eyes."

The Black Dragon King spoke calmly, negating the theme that Ao Renlin had pointed out at the beginning of his words. If the dragon race needed to use the Nightmare Suppression Technique, then the fusion technique of the three races used by Ao Renlin was not considered profound. The North Sea Dragon Clan possessed a stronger and more terrifying Nightmare Suppression Technique.

However, the dragon race does not need this power to be widely spread, and the Nightmare Suppression Technique can only be a backup plan.

Ao Renlin's initial understanding of the Nightmare Suppression Technique came from within the North Sea Dragon Clan. When he discussed the Nightmare Suppression Technique with the Black Dragon King, it was nothing more than showing off his limited knowledge.

"Ordinary methods of suppressing nightmares are naturally meaningless, but as I just said..."

As Ao Renlin spoke, he raised his hand, pulled open a corner of his robe, revealing his chest and a golden array pattern etched on his fair skin:

"I only obtained a portion of the power of the Dragon of Timely Virtue, not the power of Timely Virtue itself."

The golden array patterns on his chest, under Ao Renlin's control, slowly untied like ribbons, revealing the blood-red rotten flesh that had been covered and wrapped by the dense golden array patterns. The rotten flesh, freed from the restraint of the array patterns, immediately came to life, waving like tentacles in front of the Four Seas Dragon Kings.

Within that mass of rotten flesh, a golden light shimmered deep within the chest, forming an octagonal cage with the golden ribbon on the chest, slowly extracting a transparent dragon pearl from Ao Renlin's body.

"This is part of the power I'm referring to."

The Dragon Ball detached from the body, and the small black dragon inside it circled the low table once, then looked at the Dragon Ancestor's body, which had lost its pilot and had its head drooping, and said calmly, "All my efforts were only to make amends to the lady, not to show off in front of the ancestors."

Having shown the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas that his soul had not been corrupted by the Nightmare Suppression Technique, the Dragon Pearl returned to the chest of the Dragon Ancestor's body. The golden ribbon slowly wrapped around the surface of the Dragon Pearl, placing it back into the octagonal cage that had formed in front of his chest.

As the octagonal cage shrank back into the Dragon Ancestor's body, Ao Renlin, whose head had been hanging low, slowly raised his head to look at the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, his eyes regaining their brilliance.

The golden ribbon on his chest began to wrap around the budding rotten flesh, pressing it back down. The large hole in his chest was restored to its original state, and apart from the golden array on his chest, no other strange phenomena could be seen.

"Your technique is quite interesting."

The Azure Dragon King pondered for a moment, then said, "There seem to be some traces of medical techniques involving the flesh and blood of the Moon Rabbit inside?"

"The main method is the Nightmare Suppression Technique of the Central Province, and I have exchanged some techniques with the Fairy Healer."

Ao Renlin didn't mince words and answered the question raised by the Azure Dragon King, saying, "The method is a forced fusion of the Nightmare Suppression Method of the Central State. It's perfectly normal for it to contain traces of flesh and blood medical techniques. However, the Nightmare Suppression Method contains a death-inducing malice. Everything I've done is researching how to isolate this death-inducing malice."

"So you must also know that the Nightmare Suppression Technique is not a human technique?" the Black Dragon King said.

Ao Renlin nodded silently, indicating that he had some knowledge in that area.

The true origin of the Nightmare Suppression Technique was not created by the powerful human race. The human race was probably the first to comprehend the true essence of Nightmare Suppression and to use it.

The true origin of the Nightmare Suppression Technique should be the legendary and incredibly mysterious [Netherworld].

Over the course of several centuries, Ao Renlin never missed a single time when Bai Ze went on his inspection tour. Through the deaths of the other ten witches from the Undying Kingdom and Bai Ze's ability to answer questions, he gradually came to know the truth about the Nightmare Suppression Technique and created a method of isolation.

Thinking back on this, Ao Renlin couldn't help but sigh at the capriciousness of fate towards Bai Ze.

Bai Ze had never cultivated the Nightmare Suppression technique, but because of its supernatural power of knowing everything under heaven, it inevitably suffered from the corruption of the will of the Netherworld, thus going completely mad and being surrounded and killed by powerful human beings at the foot of the Eastern Heaven Mountain.

Bai Ze is known as an auspicious beast by humans and holds a high position within the human race because Bai Ze once helped the newly born humans to acquire knowledge, allowing them to understand the wildness of the world.

It also enlightened the human race to learn the ways of medicine, and made them aware of the terrifying power of the demon race and how to avoid it.

But as the war among the myriad races intensified, it eventually transformed into a calamity, forcing the powerful human beings to take action and surround and kill their old friend in the high mountains of the Eastern Heaven.

Chapter 438 You guys are fine, but I have a huge problem.

The method of Nightmare Suppression is inherently mortal, most outwardly manifested in the infinite amplification of desires, inevitably causing practitioners to gradually develop unrealistic ambitions.

The beings in the cultivation world can only trace the source of death to the farthest place, which may have some connection with the legendary Netherworld. As for the specifics, Dragon Father did not find out, and he did not care about these things. He only cared about whether he could research the method of Nightmare Suppression and Isolation!

Fortunately, after several perilous attempts, Dragon Father managed to subdue the Ten Witches of the Undying Kingdom and, combined with Bai Ze's abilities, created a Taoist technique capable of warding off the temptations of Nightmare Suppression.

"The method of isolation only applies to the dragon race, and it requires a cultivator at the Earth Immortal level to use," Ao Renlin said to the Black Dragon King. "No method is perfect. Although this can isolate the effects of the Nightmare Suppression Technique, it also prevents me from unleashing the full power of this body, and I don't want to unleash its full potential."

Ao Renlin briefly discussed the drawbacks of the isolation method. He was not actually in a body at the moment, but had retreated into the Dragon Pearl. He used his magic power and divine sense to control this inferior Dragon Ancestor body that had fused the power of the three races and could freely roam through space and time.

If one truly wants to unleash their full power, then the divine soul remaining within the Dragon Ball must emerge and merge with the Dragon Ancestor's body to achieve unity, only then can the terrifying power to manipulate space and time be truly unleashed.

But the dragon father wasn't stupid. The reason he worked so hard was just to accumulate the capital to marry the fox mother. He wasn't preparing to die a heroic death for the dragon clan, so he wouldn't be foolish enough to completely merge with the dragon ancestor's body and become a true follower of the Nightmare Suppression.

"So, are our ancestors satisfied? Although the Ten-Headed Phoenix and the Five Elements Qilin have become extinct, their ancestral tombs are not lacking in the Upper Realm."

After Ao Renlin finished speaking, he looked at the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas and asked them if they were satisfied with his explanation.

The Dragon Ancestor he has now transformed into may not be as powerful as the Dragon Kings, but if he were to fight to the death and completely merge with the Dragon Ancestor's body, what kind of divine power would he be able to unleash?

With such a profound foundation as an explanation, are you satisfied?

"We already know about this."

The Black Dragon King spoke calmly, "No objections. Do you have any thoughts?"

"Don't be too biased towards your own juniors." The West Sea Dragon King looked at Ao Renlin and said, "Your method is the same old thing that nurtured the Holy Mother of All Spirits. The real value of this method lies in its isolation. If we can find enough bloodlines, we can make this forbidden power a universal power for our dragon race."

"Your words are indeed very tempting, but I need to ask you two more questions."

"First, the logic of the bloodline fusion method is to forcibly absorb rare bloodlines and make them one's own. However, the Ten-Headed Phoenix and the Five Elements Qilin have long been extinct. Can the remains in those tombs really fuse to produce even one ten-thousandth of the Dragon Ancestor's power?"
