_Azure Sky Continent, Dragon's Empire_

Deep inside a forest, a fluctuation terrifying enough to terrify all the magical beasts in the forest suddenly appeared. Not long after the fluctuation appeared, the spirit energy started to gather and swirl in the air around the place of fluctuation.

Slowly, a whirlpool with a radius of one meter was formed in the air and not long after, this whirlpool formed with spirit energy of heaven and earth calmed down, revealing a dark passage.

"Thup! Thup!"

Slow footsteps could be heard as a figure of a man with a height of 1.8 meters slowly emerged out from the passage and stepped his foot on the land. The moment he walked out from the passage, a chaotic fluctuation once again appeared, and not long after, the passage slowly closed. The whirlpool that supported the passage also disappeared.

Now, at that place, there was only a figure was remained. He was looking at his surroundings with a curious as well as the excited expression on his face.

This figure was no other than Ye Xiao.

Previously, after he heard that Su Xue Er has ascended to the Upper Realm, Ye Xiao asked the old man to create the portal between the two worlds so that he can return back to the Azure Sky Continent.

The old man then created the portal connecting the two worlds for Ye Xiao and before Ye Xiao stepped his foot inside the portal, he asked if Ye Xiao was a human or a dragon.

Although the old man could not control the Holy Beast Continent, he could still see everything on the continent.

He felt the aura of terrifying tribulation that should not have appeared in the Lower Realm so he used his power to see what was happening and saw a Dragon facing the lightning tribulation.

He saw how that dragon swallowed the terrifying thunderous sword and overcome the thunder tribulation successfully.

Then he was quite shocked to see that the dragon transforming into the human form. He was not surprised to see the dragon transforming into a human form but what surprised him was that the person that the dragon transformed into was actually Ye Xiao.

Now that Ye Xiao was in front of him, he was unable to sense any dragon's aura from him so he could not help but ask Ye Xiao about that.

Ye Xiao did not hide from the old man this time since he had already seen him. He accepted the fact that he was 'also' a dragon. The old man was surprised to hear the word 'also' but in response, Ye Xiao did not explain anything but smiled mysteriously.

After that, the old man told Ye Xiao to enter the portal and he would go to the Azure Sky Continent via this portal. Ye Xiao entered the portal but before entering, Ye Xiao used the ability 'Soul Protection' on the old man's dissipating soul. This can be considered his thanks for the old man's help.

The old man was shocked to see that his soul was not dissipating anymore. This means he could still continue to exist in this world and wait for the good news from Su Xue Er before completely dissipating.

After Ye Xiao entered the portal, he appeared deep in a certain forest.

Ye Xiao did not know what kind of place he was currently in. He has to first find a city so he chose a certain direction and began to fly in that direction.

.....

_Dragon Empire, Imperial Palace_

There was an extremely large place deep inside the Imperial Palace. This was the forbidden ground of the dragons. Even the king of the dragons was not allowed to casually enter the Forbidden Ground.

Deep inside a large cave in the forbidden ground, a large golden dragon was sleeping but suddenly, its pair of big eyes was flapped open as if it sensed something. It was the ancestor of the Golden Dragons.

It raised its large head and looked in the direction where Ye Xiao appeared a few moments ago.

Looking in that direction, the large dragon thought something and immediately used a golden token to summon the Dragon Emperor.

Not long after, another large golden dragon arrived at the forbidden ground.

"Lord Ancestor!" The Dragon Emperor arrived in front of the previous dragon and transformed into a human's form then he bowed to the large golden dragon and greeted him.

"Send someone to the core area of the Dark Forest to investigate. I suddenly felt a huge fluctuation there." That large Golden Dragon said.

"Yes, Lord Ancestor!" The Dragon Emperor nodded his head and left.

.....

There were many magical beasts in the Dark Forest. It was extremely difficult for ordinary people to pass through the dark forest. Most of them formed a team, at least seven or eight people, and at most a few dozen or even a hundred people. Only then would they have the courage to cross the dark forest.

Along the way, Ye Xiao encountered some fifth and sixth grade magical beasts and casually killed them.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ye Xiao discovered a giant dragon that was entirely reddish-brown in colour. Flames were emitted out from its scales. From far away, he could feel the scorching aura coming from the other party's body.

"A Dragon... Lava dragon?" Ye Xiao was shocked to find a dragon inside the forest. It was the first time he encountered a living dragon. He could not understand what kind of place was this but from the looks of it, this forest was filled with extreme danger, after all, finding a dragon was not that easy.

He also recognized that the dragon in front of him was called Lava Dragon, and all of this was because of the memories of the three Ancient Gods.

At this moment, the Lava dragon was holding a corpse in its mouth. It looked like it was going to return to the cave to enjoy it slowly.

Suddenly, it turned its head abruptly. Its fiery red eyes revealed a greedy look as it quietly watched Ye Xiao walking towards it.

The Lava dragon lifted its neck and swallowed the corpse into its stomach. It cackled at Ye Xiao and said in human language, "Another human has come. He looks delicate and tender. He must be very delicious."

"From the looks of it, you really like eating people."

Ye Xiao frowned after seeing the corpse of a human in the dragon's mouth. The blood was still rising out from the dead body of that human. The way Ye Xiao said the previous sentence seemed like he was chatting with someone.

"Hehe, ant, aren't you afraid of me?"

The Lava dragon looked down at Ye Xiao with a mocking look in its eyes, as if it was a cat trying to catch a mouse.

"Afraid of you? Why should I be afraid of you?"

Ye Xiao smiled.

The strength of this Lava dragon in front of him was not even comparable to a Sixth Grade Magical Beast.

"How dare you! Looks like nowadays, ants are getting more and more arrogant. No wonder so many people have entered the dark forest recently!"

The Lava dragon let out a furious roar and directly spat out a stream of flames at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao flashed slightly. That scorching hot Flame burned the ground that Ye Xiao was originally standing on until it was pitch black!

Recently, many people entered dark forests?

Ye Xiao was surprised to hear the dragon. He thought to himself then took out the Sea Dragon Spear and casually thrust it at the Lava Dragon.

"Ant, you want to hurt me just like that?"

When the Lava dragon saw that its attack had failed, anger immediately surged in its heart. When it saw that Ye Xiao actually dared to resist, its anger exploded and the flame burned to the extreme on its body. Its entire body was immediately enveloped by a cluster of flames.

Puff!

Before it could attack Ye Xiao, a trace of surprise appeared on the Lava dragon's face because it felt a sharp pain in its shoulder. Its wings actually fell to the ground just like that. Blood flowed out from the broken part!

"How is this possible!? How can his attack be so powerful?"

The Lava dragon looked at Ye Xiao in disbelief.

Ye Xiao smiled but didn't say anything. He once again thrust the Sea Dragon Spear at the Lava Dragon casually.

The huge head of the Lava dragon was instantly pierced by the Sea Dragon Spear before it could react. It died before it could even retaliate against Ye Xiao's attack!

Originally, with its strength, it thought that it can kill any human that appears in front of it. The dragon race could live for too long. Their hearts were filled with disdain towards the human race. They regarded humans as ants. The Lava dragon could be said to be killed because of its own arrogance.
