Chapter 3860: 3860 Chapter 3860: The Dragon God Tree The battle outside had already ended; nearly all the dragon clan members were dead, with only those who stood on Antares’s side surviving. As the spirit flowers gradually faded, the revived divine dragons looked at the scene before them in disbelief. They couldn’t accept that the dragon clan, strong for countless years, had been wiped out just like that. Antares let out a dragon’s roar, his voice booming: "The great battle is over. You all stay here and clean up. The Crown Prince is returning." As the former Crown Prince, even after years away, he still had authority, and many still obeyed his commands. The remaining divine dragons responded in unison and followed orders. Lin Moyu said, "Let’s go." Antares led the way, with the World Sealing Dao Lord and Lin Moyu walking side by side, flying toward the Ancestral Dragon Sacrificial Ground. Soon, they entered the deepest part of the Yang Dragon Great Dao, where the power of the Great Dao surged like flames. Inside the Great Dao, they were enveloped by the rich power of the Yang Dragon Great Dao. Lin Moyu sensed that, except for the Immortality Great Dao, his other five Great Daos were all affected here. The Ancestral Dragon Sacrificial Ground appeared before them, shrouded in dense Great Dao power and surrounded by a formation-one set up by the World Sealing Dao Lord. This formation was extremely well-concealed; the dragon clan had no way to detect it, though it couldn’t escape Lin Moyu’s eyes. The formation extended into the sacrificial ground, leaving its entrance wide open. The World Sealing Dao Lord explained, "Originally, there were many restrictions in the sacrificial ground, but my formation has penetrated them all. They look intact, but they’re useless now." On the Origin Continent, all formation restrictions were meaningless before this Dao Lord-except for Lin Moyu’s. Lin Moyu smiled, "You’ve done all this, but what if I hadn’t come?" The World Sealing Dao Lord shook his head. "You always repay your grudges-how could you not come? And even if you didn’t, this one would." He glanced at Antares, as if everything was within his calculations. Lin Moyu laughed, "That’s true. If I didn’t come, this guy would. Let’s go in and meet the Ancestral Dragon." The World Sealing Dao Lord activated the formation, opening a passageway. All the restrictions in the Ancestral Dragon Sacrificial Ground were rendered useless. Lin Moyu said, "As expected of the Formation Dao Lord-your formation skills truly deserve to be called the best on the Origin Continent." The World Sealing Dao Lord snorted, "With you around, I can only claim third place." Lin Moyu replied, "I just take a different path and still have much to learn." "As long as it works, it doesn’t matter what path it is," the World Sealing Dao Lord said indifferently. To him, strength was strength-how you got there didn’t matter. As they walked through the passage into the Ancestral Dragon Sacrificial Ground, Lin Moyu looked at Antares. "You’ve been here before, right?" All dragon clan members, after reaching the Great Dao Realm, would visit the Ancestral Dragon Sacrificial Ground-supposedly to worship the Ancestral Dragon and receive the Dragon God Tree’s blessing. So Antares had definitely been here. Antares said, "I came once, when I was made Crown Prince. But I was a bit dazed at the time and didn’t see clearly." The World Sealing Dao Lord chuckled, "It’s not that you didn’t see clearly-you couldn’t see clearly. There are so many restrictions and formations here, they affect everyone’s senses. You thought you didn’t see clearly, but you simply couldn’t." Antares didn’t argue; he knew the World Sealing Dao Lord wouldn’t lie. Lin Moyu mused, "If you can’t see, it must be to hide something." The World Sealing Dao Lord glanced at Antares and smiled, "You’ll know soon enough." At this point, Lin Moyu drew a divine rune and placed it on Antares’s head, letting it slowly sink in. Antares trusted Lin Moyu and didn’t resist at all. Lin Moyu didn’t explain the rune’s purpose and signaled him not to ask. Ahead, mist rose, with a massive shape looming within. The World Sealing Dao Lord waved his hand, activating a formation that sent out a gale, dispersing the mist and revealing a colossal tree. The giant tree towered to the sky, visible from afar. It was over ten million meters tall, with lush branches and leaves covering a vast area. Lin Moyu compared it to the World Tree, and in sheer size, even the World Tree couldn’t match it. Its branches coiled like divine dragons, countless in number, and the entire tree radiated boundless vitality. Before they could approach, the dragon-like branches suddenly came alive, emitting constant dragon roars. The entire tree exuded powerful malice-a terrifying presence was awakening within. Shock was clear in Antares’s eyes; the Dragon God Tree before him was completely different from what he remembered. The World Sealing Dao Lord, as if expecting this, smiled, "Surprised?" Antares instinctively replied, "Very surprised. How could the Dragon God Tree be like this?" The World Sealing Dao Lord said quietly, "Let Lin Daoist explain-he can see more clearly." Lin Moyu took over, "It’s simple. After the Ancestral Dragon was injured, he took refuge in the Dragon God Tree. To revive and rebuild his body, he needed immense power. All of you became his nourishment. Most of this happened during the Origin Calamity, but the setup began long ago. "I think the Ancestral Dragon originally just wanted to use the dragon clan’s power to further himself. Later, it became about using the dragon clan to revive. "To be honest, resurrection is harder than advancing further. After all these years, he still hasn’t succeeded." The World Sealing Dao Lord added, "That’s true. Resurrection is harder than advancing-a rule of the world." Lin Moyu continued, "All the Dragon Gods who buried themselves here have truly had their souls scattered-they’ve been completely digested by the Dragon God Tree. The tree didn’t just absorb them; it also did something to the entire dragon clan." Antares immediately asked, "What did it do?" As soon as he spoke, his eyes lost their light. Antares’s eyes went dull, and like a puppet, he flew toward the Dragon God Tree. Suddenly, a divine light shone from his head-the rune Lin Moyu had placed earlier radiated brilliantly, sending out countless threads to bind Antares. The other ends of the threads were in Lin Moyu’s hand, so Antares couldn’t reach the tree. Lin Moyu shouted, and the rune’s light intensified. Antares suddenly roared, spewing endless dragon breath, and his consciousness returned-he snapped awake. Antares asked in shock, "What just happened?" Lin Moyu said, "You were just controlled by the Dragon God Tree and nearly went to self-bury." Antares felt a chill. In that instant, he really had lost consciousness. He whispered, "Why did that happen?" Lin Moyu explained, "Your soul had a restriction planted by the Dragon God Tree. But now it’s broken-it can’t control you anymore." Suddenly, an angry, frustrated voice echoed from all directions: "Just one step away, just one step! It’s all your fault-you ruined my plan!" The voice shook the sacrificial ground as the Dragon God Tree came alive, its branches whipping wildly, transforming into millions of divine dragons swirling in the air.
