Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

”These were the words left by the previous Priest a thousand years ago, before she departed. She said that when the next Priest arrives, the Eye of the Barbarian God will shatter, and the Earth Palace will open. At that time, the new Priest will lead our clan to rise again!”

Pann Cang spoke slowly, his tone filled with reverence for the previous Priest.

Hearing Pann Cang’s words, Ye Wushuang finally understood. The members of the Giant Spirit Race calling him Lord Priest wasn’t just baseless speculation; it all came from the previous Priest’s prophecy.

When the Divine Eye perishes, the Priest arrives!

Today was the Giant Spirit Clan’s day of sacrifice. Coincidentally, Ye Wushuang had suddenly appeared during the ritual. Even more coincidentally, the Eye of the Barbarian God had then inexplicably shattered.

After that, the Eye of the Barbarian God shot out two beams of Divine Light, causing a great upheaval deep within the Endless Wilderness as heaven and earth resonated. Because of all this, the Giant Spirit Clan believed the previous Priest’s prophecy had been fulfilled.

Ye Wushuang was the next Priest, destined to lead them to glory!

Thinking of this, Ye Wushuang was at a loss for words. ’Wasn’t this so-called prophecy just setting him up?’

However, seeing Pann Cang’s reverent expression, a flicker of curiosity sparked within Ye Wushuang. ’Just what kind of person could inspire such lasting devotion in a Clan Leader of the Yin Yang Realm?’

”Clan Leader, surely you don’t believe I’m the Priest of the Giant Spirit Clan based on a single sentence?” Ye Wushuang asked lightly.

Hearing this, Pann Cang stopped and turned his head. ”The previous Lord Priest possessed Heaven-Reaching Means and could foresee many things. Her words are never wrong. Besides, it has already been proven just now. Of course, if you don’t believe it, I can take you to a place that will offer proof!”

’Proof?’

Ye Wushuang’s brow furrowed. He suddenly asked, ”Clan Leader, if I’m not the Priest, will you kill me?”

”I will.” Pann Cang nodded, making no effort to hide his thoughts.

Then, looking at Ye Wushuang’s unchanging expression, he continued, ”You remained calm and composed even when facing a desperate situation. Few people possess such mental fortitude. It surprises me. I hope you can be our clan’s Priest.”

’I hope so too,’ Ye Wushuang thought with a bitter smile. He hadn’t cared about this Priest title before, but now it seemed to be his only lifeline.

Standing on Pann Cang’s shoulder, the two conversed as they traveled, soon arriving at an ancient hall.

This ancient hall seemed to be forged from ten-thousand-year-old ice. It was crystalline all over and radiated a biting cold. Before they even got close, Ye Wushuang felt a chill that pierced his very soul.

It was only about seventy or eighty feet tall, looking out of place and insignificant compared to the magnificent hundred-foot-plus halls beside it.

But this place was a Forbidden Land for the Giant Spirit Race.

This was because the ancient Priest Hall was once the residence of the previous Priest—the most revered person in the Giant Spirit Race!

”This place was the residence of the previous Lord Priest. There are things she left behind inside.”

Pann Cang said lightly, taking a few steps to arrive before the Priest Hall.

The ancient Priest Hall was peculiar. It had no door, appearing to be completely sealed.

Standing before the hall, Pann Cang chanted a short incantation.

Immediately, the space before them began to distort, and soon, ripples spread out. From within the ripples, a massive portal abruptly appeared.

Pann Cang glanced at Ye Wushuang before carrying him through the portal.

In the blink of an eye, the two appeared in a strange space.

In this space, both the ground and the sky were made of ice crystals. Even the Ancient Trees, plants, and rocks were formed from them.

Gazing at these strange sights, Ye Wushuang felt as if he had walked into a world of ice.

”This is a world of ice created by the Lord Priest using her Great Divine Techniques. It was where she lived,” Pann Cang explained.

”Creating a whole new world?”

Ye Wushuang was utterly shocked. ’Creating a world within the void... is this the Heaven-Reaching Means of that mysterious Priest? How terrifying. Even a Yin Yang Realm expert probably doesn’t have such an ability. Could that mysterious Priest have been a supreme expert of the Nirvana Realm?’

’Who exactly was that Priest?’

Ye Wushuang’s curiosity grew. ’Creating a space, foreseeing the future... even a supreme expert of Nirvana probably couldn’t do that!’

As Ye Wushuang was reeling in shock, Pann Cang brought him deeper into the space, and a massive Ice Jade statue came into view.

The Ice Jade statue was of a human figure, and from its form, it was clearly a woman.

She wore a white palace gown, her black hair hung loose, and a jade hairpin was stuck diagonally in her hair, adorned with pearl blossoms.

Her figure was perfect; even as a statue, not a single flaw could be found.

The only regret was that her face was blurry, as if veiled by a layer of fine gauze, making it impossible to see clearly.

However, a bright moon hung above her head, its pristine light bathing her in a sacred, ethereal glow. Even without seeing her face, one could imagine a beauty that would make the heavens and earth pale in comparison.

’This is the previous Priest?’

Ye Wushuang stared intently. For some unknown reason, he had a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her before. It was a baffling and very strange feeling.

BZZZT!

The moment Ye Wushuang’s gaze fell upon it, the bright moon trembled slightly and suddenly shot a beam of holy light toward him.

Ye Wushuang’s brow sank. Before he could dodge, something strange happened!

An object suddenly shot out from Ye Wushuang’s body!

Ye Wushuang was very familiar with this item—it was the Jade Pendant his father, Ye Xuan, had given him!

This Jade Pendant was connected to his origins, yet he never expected it to appear at a moment like this.

Ye Wushuang watched quietly.

Pann Cang’s eyes narrowed as he watched with intense focus.

BZZZT!

The milky-white Jade Pendant flew toward the beam of holy light.

Upon impact, a blinding light erupted, so brilliant that no one could keep their eyes open.

ROAR!

A dragon’s roar suddenly echoed. From within the milky-white Jade Pendant, a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon burst forth, noble and majestic, its dignity inviolable.

It threw its head back and let out a fierce roar, its body coiling up around the statue and into the bright moon. The moon shook violently, and another beam of holy light shot through the void, hurtling toward Ye Wushuang.

It was so fast that it was in front of Ye Wushuang in the blink of an eye.

Ye Wushuang’s heart sank. Unsure if it was a threat, his only choice was to dodge.

”Don’t dodge! Accept it quickly!” But at that moment, Pann Cang’s voice rang out.

Seeing this series of strange events, Pann Cang’s expression grew more and more joyful.

At this moment, he was finally certain. Ye Wushuang was their Priest!

Hearing Pann Cang’s words, Ye Wushuang hesitated for a moment before stopping his body.

Seizing the opportunity, the beam of holy light instantly burrowed into the space between his eyebrows, entering his Divine Court.

BOOM!

The holy light, resembling a full moon, suddenly exploded, causing Ye Wushuang’s Divine Court Space to tremble violently.

An immense flood of information followed!

”Giant Spirit Dao Skill!”

Those three ancient words flashed in Ye Wushuang’s mind.
