Chapter 2982 - 2982: Dragon Emperor in Peril

Time passed swiftly, and Su Yang was alone within the World Tree, tempering his soul. He was unaware of the situation outside and had no concept of time.

Until this day, he sensed someone approaching from outside and realized it was time for everyone to gather.

With a thought, his Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone swiftly came together, merging with him.

Although it was the same as before, Su Yang could clearly feel that his control over the Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone was stronger.

This feeling was as if his soul had been refined to become increasingly powerful, enhancing his control over his own body.

Previously, due to the inadequacy of his soul's strength, Su Yang's control over the Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone was quite ordinary.

At that time, the Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone were merely like two armors protecting his body.

But now, with his soul sufficiently powerful, he truly began to understand the Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone.

Moreover, as his soul grew stronger, his understanding of the Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone increased as well.

He discovered many wondrous uses of the Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone, realizing some mystical techniques in combat, and even finding their formidable combined strength.

However, the only perplexing thing to Su Yang was that he still couldn't recall the origin of the Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone.

Unable to remember their origins meant he couldn't recall how they were cultivated, nor could he pass the method to other members of the Human Clan.

Su Yang was puzzled as to why such a situation occurred.

Perhaps as his soul grew stronger and his understanding of the Undying Golden Body and Undying Bone deepened, he would truly figure out how these two were cultivated.

Thinking this, Su Yang flew straight out of the World Tree.

After waiting for a short while, Su Yang saw the first returning group, which was indeed the group led by the Human Emperor.

They were the earliest to depart and the earliest to return; the Human Emperor has always been swift in action.

"Human Emperor, how's the situation?" Su Yang called out loudly.

From a distance, the Human Emperor shook his head repeatedly.

"We haven't found a trace of any life signs."

Su Yang nodded and inquired about other matters, such as the state of those stars.

And these conditions were exactly the same as what Su Yang and the others had discovered earlier.

The insides of those stars were utterly empty.

Regardless of whether it was the Blood Shadow or the original Spiritual Sources inside, they were all gone.

These discoveries confirmed even more that the abundant Spiritual Energy in the Great World was likely released by these Spiritual Sources.

Su Yang didn't rush back to the World Tree; instead, he continued waiting outside.

Not long after, others returned one after another.

Their situation was similar to the Human Emperor's; they did not have any special findings.

Five years passed, and most returned, except for the group led by the Supreme Dragon Emperor.

Su Yang was puzzled, as the Supreme Dragon Emperor was usually rather lazy. Typically, it was the first to return from explorations. Why hadn't it returned this time?

Everyone waited several more years, and still, the Supreme Dragon Emperor didn't appear, leaving everyone worried.

"That Old Loach, did it run into some danger?" muttered the Eternal Divine Emperor, unable to hide concern from his face.

The Eternal Divine Emperor and the Supreme Dragon Emperor were of the same era, bickering for a million years, yet actually having a deep connection.

Others were worried too; although the Supreme Dragon Emperor was often glib, it was quite warm-hearted. If something happened to it, no one wanted that.

Su Yang frowned, reasoning that if the Supreme Dragon Emperor encountered anything, it only needed to crush the Earth Principle Jade Pendant, allowing Su Yang to immediately sense it.

However, the Dragon Emperor hadn't crushed the Earth Principle Jade Pendant, nor had it returned. What was going on?

"Could it be lost?" the Human Emperor frowned.

"Unlikely, right?"

"When we departed, the directions were clear. Even if the Supreme Dragon Emperor couldn't recognize directions, the strongest who followed couldn't possibly be lost."

"Besides, it carried the Su Alliance Leader's Earth Principle Jade Pendant, which guides directions. How could it be lost?"

Everyone was offering different perspectives.

A few more days passed, and just as Su Yang was hesitating whether to look for it personally.

Suddenly, he sensed a vibration of the Earth Principle.

"No good!" Su Yang exclaimed: "The Dragon Emperor crushed the Earth Principle Jade Pendant; something happened over there!"

"Where! Quickly!" The Eternal Divine Emperor was the first to soar into the sky, shouting excitedly.

The expressions of others were full of fear, as the Great World no longer had a Guardian God. What danger could the Supreme Dragon Emperor face?

Su Yang immediately summoned the Chaos Sparrow, calculating the position of the Earth Principle Jade Pendant, having the Chaos Sparrow carry them through chaos, reaching the closest distance to the location.

Then, they advanced quickly, heading straight to the position of the Earth Principle Jade Pendant.

This distance would require half a year of typical flight.

However, as everyone rushed at full speed, they managed to reach the place in three months.

What met their eyes was a massive planet.

"Did the Dragon Emperor encounter danger on this planet?" the Eternal Divine Emperor anxiously asked: "Su Alliance Leader, let's surround this planet first and not let anyone take the Dragon Emperor away!"

However, Su Yang waved his hand: "No need to worry, they are fine."

"Fine?" Everyone was astonished; why crush the Earth Principle Jade Pendant if nothing's wrong?

Su Yang's strength was the greatest; reaching here, he sensed everything on the planet.

He could feel several members, including the Supreme Dragon Emperor, were indeed on the planet, and they were normal and were not being attacked.

Therefore, it was evident this planet posed no danger.

But without danger, why crush the Earth Principle Jade Pendant?

Holding onto this uncertainty, Su Yang and the group descended onto the planet.

This planet was sizable, though not as large as the stars seen before, it was of Intermediate World size.

Su Yang compared it mentally; this planet at least surpassed his former Earth by a millionfold.

Yet, to the strongest, it was merely a regular planet, not something breathtaking. They've seen larger planets; this was no surprise.

What truly astonished everyone was the presence of considerable liquid water on this planet, saturating many places.
