Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 161 The Audience at the Demon God's Palace: Turbulent Waves Begin

"It's been quite a few years since I've been deep inside the Monster Mountain Range."

"The change isn't significant, but aren't there too few magical beasts here?"

"Why haven't we seen many high-level magical beasts after crossing several mountains?"

Following Crimson, the eighteen Saint-rank dragon descendants ventured deep into the Monster Mountain Range.

During this process, the dragons carefully observed the situation inside the Monster Mountain Range.

Therefore, when these dragon races and their descendants discovered that the number of magical beasts inside the Monster Mountain Range was rather small, doubts arose.

"Perhaps it's because of the return of His Highness the Dragon Clan that these magical beasts have all gone to the Demon God's Temple?"

"It's possible, but unlikely. It's been quite some time now. The magical beasts can't possibly stay in the Demon God's Temple with His Highness the Dragon Clan every day, can they?"

"Furthermore, haven't you noticed? Not only are there very few high-level magical beasts here, but even the number of mid-level and low-level magical beasts has become excessively sparse."

"Is this still the scene deep within the Monster Mountain Range? Isn't this almost like the wasteland?"

Many of the human dragonborn were discussing it, while the silver dragonborn family members remained silent throughout.

They knew the reasons, of course, but now was not the time for them to talk about them.

Meanwhile, among the holy-rank dragon species, the elven and sea dragon species were also discussing this matter through telepathic communication.

"Something seems off inside the Monster Mountain Range."

"Do you think it's possible that His Highness the Dragon returned and slaughtered many magical beasts, causing this?"

"Otherwise, why would Your Highness summon us here?"

A holy-rank dragon of the whale-dolphin type transmitted a question.

"I think it's unlikely. Since he is a prince of the dragon race, he should naturally abide by the law."

"Such a massacre is absolutely impossible."

"That's impossible, absolutely impossible, but why are there so few magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"

"There is indeed a problem, but I think I may have found the answer. Look over there, everyone!"

Amidst the discussion of the Saint-ranked dragons, someone suddenly pointed to the distant Monster Mountain Range and spoke.

As a result, the group of Saint-level beings immediately looked in the direction the other party indicated.

Just over fifty kilometers away from where all the dragon species were traveling, looking down from the sky into the distance.

On the other side of the Monster Mountain Range, these Saint-level dragons saw it!
Three streams of fluid, resembling black tides, are continuously moving towards the outer region of the Monster Mountain Range.

That wasn't some black tide at all.

It was clearly a marching formation composed of three rapidly moving waves of magical beasts.

Among these three waves of magical beasts, a large number of them were unranked magical beasts, but there were also many low- to mid-ranked magical beasts driving and directing the unranked magical beasts to move in a fixed direction.

The three waves of monsters each numbered no less than 100,000.

"So many magical beasts? Where are we headed?"

"Why does it look like they're heading out of the mountains? Why are these magical beasts still waging war against humans at this time? Wasn't there a truce already?"

"No, that's not right. Haven't you all noticed? Although there are many of these magical beasts, there isn't even a single high-level magical beast in command."

"I suspect that there may not be many high-level magical beasts left in the Magical Beast Mountain Range."

"As for where they went exactly, I think we can find out if we follow this wave of demons!"

“But I think it’s best if we don’t do that, because the large-scale mobilization of these beast tides is clearly related to His Highness the Dragon Clan’s return. Let’s wait until we see His Highness the Dragon Clan before we talk about anything else!”

Saint-level dragons are not lacking in wisdom.

However, precisely because of their intelligence, these dragons now have an even greater curiosity about the dragon prince they are about to meet.

For example, what is the current situation of the dragon race?
For example, why would His Highness the Dragon appear in the Monster Mountain Range?

For example, where exactly were these beast tides transferred to?
There are just too many questions like these!

And so, amidst their many questions, they finally reached the main peak of the Monster Mountain Range.

Furthermore, Crimson quickly led them toward the main peak.

Soon, after these dragons broke through the barrier of a layer of ice mist, the sacred temple complex sitting above the clouds finally came into view.

The architectural complex of the Demon God Temple.

Built atop a snow-capped mountain, all the temple buildings shimmered with a clear, crystal-like light.

"Is this the Demon God's Temple?"

"It's truly magnificent. The temple built from these magic crystals has such a high concentration of magic power that it's truly enviable."

"The scale and luxury of human temples are far inferior to those of magical beasts. Perhaps the elves can compare? After all, they are both ancient species, and their stored wealth must be considerable."

"."

The nearly two hundred high-ranking dragons and their descendants who had gathered there, including the Saint-ranked dragons, were all astonished by the extravagance of the Demon God Temple.

The dragon race of the elves is also quite formidable.

"These magical beasts are quite extravagant. I never imagined that the Demon God Temple would be of such a scale."

"That's not hard to understand. After all, the place where the demon god descended is just as magnificent as our elven temple."

"However, it must be said that these magical beasts know how to enjoy themselves far more than we imagined."

"Enjoyment? That's only true in times when the gods don't exist. In the years when the gods still exist, let alone whether the monsters would want to stay here for a long time, we might not even be able to get here before we die."

"That's true. After all, it's a temple. For non-demon god believers to come here is no different from blasphemy and courting death."

"."

The elven dragon and the other dragon races and dragon descendants were discussing it animatedly.

Everyone was carefully observing everything around them.

As all the dragon species continued to advance, finally, the main temple at the highest peak of the Monster Mountain Range was built on a vast, snow-white plaza beneath the towering temple pillars, which were thousands of meters high.

All the dragon species saw it.

Right there, above the cliff face of the temple, stood a terrifying dragon with its eyes closed.

Its terrifying size surpasses that of most Saint-rank dragon races.

However, compared to the three-headed holy-level sea beast dragon of the sea race, it was actually at a disadvantage.

It is an indisputable fact that sea monsters are enormous.

However, this is not the time to compare body size.

Because, just as all the dragon species noticed the crystal dragon whose body resembled crystal, they all felt a strong throbbing in their blood.

"correct!!!"

"This feeling is definitely that of a pure-blooded dragon!"

All the dragons were shocked, and the silver dragon Camilla led the members of the Lambert family, descendants of the silver dragons, quickly towards the square.

"Silver Dragon Camilla! Greetings, Your Highness!!!"

The silver dragon Camilla was extremely excited. Before the other dragons could react, she immediately stopped in the square, prostrated herself, and shouted with tears in her eyes in the direction of Linko!
"Angelina, a descendant of the Silver Dragon, greets Your Highness."

"Silver Dragon Aidi greets Your Highness."

Every single one of the fifteen members of the Lambert family who had come on this trip excitedly followed and paid their respects to Linko. Seeing this scene, many dragons and their descendants quickly descended towards the plaza.

Among them, the five major human dragon families were the quickest to respond, with many dragon descendants immediately kneeling on one knee to express their highest respect.

Of course, the dragon races and dragon descendants below the Saint rank of the sea creatures and sea beasts also paid their respects to Lin Ke immediately.

However, among the Saint-level beings, many dragon species did not kneel down immediately.

Among the eleven Saint-level beings of the Sea Clan, six Saint-level beings stood upright and openly echoed each other's words.

Meanwhile, the dragons and dragonborn on the elf side didn't even set foot on the ground.

It simply hovered above the square, bowing slightly towards Lin Ke at the same level.

These dragon offspring have many thoughts and intentions.

Although it is shocking that a pure-blooded dragon race has actually appeared.

However, they couldn't bring themselves to bow down to Lin Ke, a pure-blooded dragon who didn't seem particularly strong.

Each serves its own master; those who are unwilling to lower themselves are clearly those who are unwilling to submit to Dragon Island.

However, this was probably within Lin Ke's expectations.

After all, even when the dragon race still existed, many dragon species on the continent still submitted to the dragon race.

Moreover, the dragon race has never made it mandatory.

Therefore, strictly speaking, this is not considered impolite.

At least, these guys, including the dragonborn of the elven dragon race, paid a verbal salute to Linko.

But that's enough!

Lin Ke slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at the dragon in the square, who had shown him submission and treated him with the utmost respect.

Of the eighteen Saint-level dragon descendants, eight dragons clearly submitted to Lin Ke immediately.

As for those who doubt Lin Ke's identity?

No, not one.

Anyone with common sense would know that if Lin Ke's identity were questionable, the Saint-level magical beasts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range would not allow him to so brazenly occupy the Demon God Temple and issue commands to the magical beasts.

Physical size and strength do not represent everything.

Identity is the key, and the dragon blood intuition is undeniable.

The fact that even the Saint-level sea beast, the Serpent Dragon, which is a size larger than Lin Ke, has already knelt down speaks volumes.

For the ancient sub-dragon species, for those who have been to Dragon Island, Lin Ke's strength is not important at all; pure blood is the most important thing.

The five Saint-level representatives sent by the five great empires of the Sea Clan did not pay their respects with the highest honors.

In addition, the black dragon of the Orc Empire.

The same applies to the four Holy-rank dragon descendants of the Elven race.

From this perspective, Lin Ke knew the answer.

Currently, it seems that the situation on the mainland is the worst among humans and orcs/dragons.

The dragon descendants of the sea race and the elves are living quite well; otherwise, they would have already expressed their allegiance to the dragon race.

Are you not afraid of dying of old age? Or are you waiting for me to reveal the purpose of the dragons' return before deciding whether to submit to them?
interesting.

Lin Ke calmly surveyed all the dragon species and dragon descendants present.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of this group of dragons and their descendants, it slowly spoke:
"Very good. It's quite good that you dragons and dragon descendants have come this time."

"This shows that over the years, the bloodline of the dragon races of various races on the continent has not forgotten the existence of Dragon Island and the dragon race."

The moment Lin Ke spoke, he swept his gaze, with a half-smile, over the six Saint-ranked dragons standing on the spot, as well as the four Saint-ranked dragon descendants of the elven race suspended in the air.

All the Saint-level dragons that Lin Ke swept over were startled, and inexplicably felt immense pressure.

The title of the Dragon Clan is not something that can be given away just by shouting it.

Facing a pure-blooded dragon like Lin Ke, these Saint-level beings are currently feeling quite uneasy.

But even when facing pure-blooded dragons.

At this moment, one of the elven dragons spoke first, despite Linko's indifferent gaze.

"Your Highness is joking!"

"We, the descendants of the dragon race, will never forget the glory and greatness of the dragon race!"

"The fact that we are able to come to pay homage to Your Highness today is the greatest proof of that."

"We are overjoyed to see Your Highness return, but please forgive our rudeness. Does Your Highness's return signify the return of the entire Dragon Clan?"

"Furthermore, Your Highness, please tell us whether there is any important matter that you have summoned us here for?"

So brave!

No sooner had the elven dragon finished speaking than the silver dragon Camilla was the first to erupt in anger!
"What? Isn't His Highness's return a big deal? Shouldn't we, the descendants of His Highness, come to pay our respects?"

"Furthermore, is the return of the dragon race something you, an old man, should be asking?"

The silver dragon glared angrily at the fairy dragon.

Meanwhile, the enormous serpent dragon among the sea monsters raised its cold gaze and looked towards the elves.

The tension could rise and fall in an instant.

The five Saint-level members of the Sea Clan, including the Black Dragon, unconsciously retreated some distance, fearing that blood might splatter on them later.

At the same time, these guys all admired him.

The elves are indeed the elves; this elven dragon is incredibly bold.

Do people always speak so directly?
Such offensive remarks can be considered a minor or major offense.

Based solely on Lin Ke's words, it was possible to determine whether he was suspected of offending the dragon race.

However, Lin Ke suddenly smiled at this.

"It is only natural that each dragon has its own ambitions."

"Relax a bit, everyone. Besides, I did have something important to discuss with you all today."

"However, before that, I think I need to stretch my body properly. So, I'll take this opportunity to let you remnants of the dragon race understand what it means to be a dragon."

"Given the attitude of the Elven Bloodline, I think you can go back to where you came from after the ceremony."

After speaking, Lin Ke glanced indifferently at the four Saint-level elves.

They then chose to claim the growth reward.

The divine descent effect is indispensable, and Lin Ke is even more looking forward to the changes at the ninth rank.

As for the dragon race and dragon descendants of the elves, Linco no longer cared.

He has plenty of ways to send these guys to the world of Kalter to serve as cannon fodder!
Just like those monsters who had betrayed Amos before.

That's all. They squeeze out the maximum value from it.
