My carefree life in space

Chapter 244 Dragon Clan Secrets

Upon seeing this, Cangwu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted, "Get out of the way!"

This resentment is filled with an evil aura. Once you are touched by it, it is like a maggot clinging to your bone, eroding along your meridians and causing your soul to tremble in pain. The consequences are unimaginable.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze also noticed the black mist. They reacted very quickly, and the moment Cangwu finished speaking, they had already leaped away from the attack of the black mist.

Mo Ze's expression changed drastically, his pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly conjured a golden sword. The sword instantly shone with a dazzling light, which contrasted sharply with the dark aura surrounding the black dragon skeleton.

Lin Shushu instantly entered battle mode, her hands quickly forming hand seals, her spiritual energy surging around her, her eyes filled with vigilance as she kept a close eye on the black dragon's every move.

Cangwu then transformed into its original form, roared to the sky, and exuded an ancient and powerful dragon aura, attempting to intimidate the crazed black dragon before it.

However, the black dragon ignored this and opened its blood-red maw, revealing two rows of sharp, halberd-like fangs. A ball of black energy, a destructive force, gathered in its mouth and spewed out wildly towards the two people and the dragon.

The moment this devastating black energy erupted, the surrounding air seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, emitting a sharp cracking sound. The space itself seemed unable to withstand this terrifying power, and cracks appeared.

Lin Shushu reacted swiftly, summoning the Star Mirror without hesitation. In an instant, the Star Mirror burst forth with dazzling light, pure stellar power from the vast starry sky, as if countless stars were exploding simultaneously.

This stellar power acted like an unbreakable cage, quickly enveloping the black energy spewed out by the black dragon.

Two completely different forces collided and squeezed each other, producing a deafening roar. The energy ripples spread outwards at an astonishing speed, leaving deep ravines in the ground and turning the surrounding rocks into dust in an instant.

The power of the stars continuously compressed the black energy, confining it to a small area and preventing it from continuing its rampage. Under the suppression of the star power, the black energy twisted and struggled, like a trapped beast trying to break free of its restraints.

But the power of the Star Mirror kept pouring in, making its struggles gradually futile.

Lin Shushu's expression was solemn, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. Controlling the Star Mirror was extremely taxing on her. But she gritted her teeth, her eyes resolute, and did her best to maintain the operation of the Star Power, determined not to let this evil energy escape.

Just as Lin Shushu was fully controlling the Star Mirror and locked in a stalemate with the black energy, an old and weak voice seemed to drift from the depths of time, breaking the tense atmosphere.

"Is it... His Majesty the Dragon Emperor?" A trembling voice, tinged with hesitation, surprise, and barely concealed weakness, emanated from the center of the altar, echoing through the world shrouded in black gloom.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze froze, their faces filled with disbelief and shock. Their gazes instinctively shifted from the fiercely clashing energy battlefield to the illusory figure of Cangwu in mid-air.

Under the light of the Star Mirror, Cangwu's phantom appeared even more mysterious and solemn. At this moment, he was surrounded by an ancient and powerful dragon aura, an innate kingly majesty that inspired awe even in mere phantoms.

"He... he's actually the Emperor of the Dragon Clan?" Lin Shushu murmured to herself, her voice filled with shock and confusion. She had always known that Cangwu was of extraordinary status, but she had never imagined that he held such a noble position within the Dragon Clan. So why did he end up dying in another world?

Mo Ze's eyes were also filled with shock, and the sword in his hand unconsciously drooped slightly. He recalled the powerful strength and unfathomable wisdom that Cang Wu had inadvertently revealed, which all stemmed from his identity as the Dragon Emperor.

The phantom of Cangwu trembled slightly, his gaze slowly turning to the center of the altar, his voice gentle yet carrying an undeniable majesty: "It is I, come out."

As he finished speaking, a faint light slowly rose from the center of the altar, and a figure gradually emerged... His hair and beard were all white, and his face was etched with the vicissitudes of time, but his eyes shone brightly with excitement.

The newcomer was none other than the Dragon Clan's Grand Elder. His gaze was fixed on the illusory figure of Cangwu in mid-air, his lips trembled, and his eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Your Majesty...it really is Your Majesty!" The Grand Elder's voice choked with emotion, filled with ten thousand years of longing and grievance. He took a step forward, but almost fell over due to his overwhelming excitement.

Seeing this, Mo Ze hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. Once the Grand Elder was steady, his gaze remained fixed on Cang Wu, his voice tinged with reminiscence as he slowly said, "Ten thousand years... Your Majesty, your life tablet has been shattered for ten thousand years, and the entire Dragon Clan has been immersed in grief. Everyone thought you were already..."

He paused, his eyes filled with endless sorrow, "Since then, the Dragon Clan has been plunged into a long period of turmoil. Various forces are vying for power and profit, the Dragon Clan is torn apart, and its former glory is gone forever."

Neither Lin Shushu nor Mo Ze spoke, listening silently as he recounted events from ten thousand years ago.

Cangwu's face was filled with endless sorrow. "What's going on on Dragon Island now?"

The elder sighed deeply, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

“Until a thousand years ago, another upheaval occurred. The Black Dragon, that ambitious fellow, openly rebelled. He colluded with external forces, attempting to seize control of the Dragon Clan and dragging the entire Dragon Clan into an abyss of no return. To stop him, I… I had no choice but to use a forbidden technique to freeze the entire Dragon Island.”

At this point, a look of pain appeared on the elder's face. "This freeze lasted for a thousand years, and the dragon race was gradually forgotten by the outside world during this long period of time."

Hearing the elder's words, the two humans and the dragon were filled with shock and anger. They never expected that this black dragon would be so evil, betraying the entire dragon race for its own selfish desires.

"Why are you trapped here?" Cangwu asked in confusion.

The elder shook his head with a wry smile: "I exhausted all my power to seal the black dragon. After the sealing was completed, I also fell into a deep sleep due to the exhaustion of my power. I only woke up just now when I sensed your presence."

Just then, the black dragon broke free of its restraints. It roared and charged towards them. It was incredibly fast, arriving in an instant, its massive claws reaching for them.

Seeing this, Cangwu immediately unleashed a burst of dragon breath in an attempt to block the black dragon's attack. The dragon breath collided with the black dragon's claws, producing a violent explosion. The powerful impact shattered the surrounding ice crystals, sending ice shards flying everywhere.

"Shushu, watch out!" Mo Ze shouted, pulling Lin Shushu back quickly. Just as they dodged, the black dragon's claws landed on the spot where they had just stood, tearing several deep furrows into the ground.
