# Chapter 989: Demon Dragon Beast Core
"Imperial bloodline, do you feel it!"
Qiongqi seemed very pleased, smiling at Lin Feng, which made Lin Feng glare fiercely at Qiongqi. This old bastard was actually gloating.
Of course he felt it. The reason he had been shaken into bleeding by Xuanyuan Potian's single shout was precisely because of that terrifying bloodline power. Xuanyuan Potian's blood energy was too powerful; a single angry roar seemed to make his blood surge, trembling against Lin Feng's body and causing his own blood to churn, injuring him.
Xuanyuan Potian possessed an imperial bloodline, a bloodline power so formidable that even Venerables could not match it.
"Don't look at me like that. Experiencing more of this is a good thing for you." Qiongqi's smile appeared exceptionally cunning in Lin Feng's eyes, and he continued speaking to Lin Feng: "Let's follow too. Even if we walk at the very back, we can't be left behind."
Lin Feng nodded, his body flickering as he followed the figures of Xuanyuan Potian and those Venerables who had already entered the depths of the Dragon Palace.
Soon, the crowd ahead stopped. In a stretch of void, enormous dragon scales were suspended, exuding a terrifying aura.
"Dragon scales!" Lin Feng's expression froze. He also had a dragon scale on him, obtained during his last entry into the secret realm. However, that scale was far smaller than the ones floating in the void before him now.
Each of the scales floating there was as large as two palms.
"Boom!" The bodies of those Venerables instantly flickered as they reached for the dragon scales. In an instant, several people grabbed scales at the same time.
"Roar..." An incredibly terrifying dragon roar suddenly rang out, shaking people's blood and qi. Without a word, Qiongqi used his claws to grab Lin Feng and pull him back, retreating a great distance in an instant.
"Roar, roar..." Mad dragon roars erupted from the dragon scales. The soft thudding sounds were nearly drowned out by this terrifying roar. Lin Feng was horrified to discover that several Venerables had collapsed limply to the ground, motionless. These were all people who had grabbed the dragon scales.
"Shaken to death!" Lin Feng's heart was greatly shaken. Fortunately, he was following behind and hadn't touched the scales either, otherwise there would have been no chance to save himself — he would have been shaken to death instantly.
This dragon roar should be similar to his Mad Demon Roar, containing a terrifying attack power that could shake and kill souls.
However, some people hadn't died. They simply threw away the dragon scales in their hands and stood on the ground, feeling their blood and qi churning, unable to calm down for a long time. The moment they had grabbed the scales, the roar had been too terrifying. Someone had actually sealed such a terrifying attack inside them.
"This should be a powerful Demon Venerable, not yet become a Demon Emperor, otherwise no one would have escaped. But because dragons are the royal clan of the demon realm, this Demon Venerable likely has few Venerables who can defeat him. Standing at the peak of Demon Venerables, his roar can shake Venerable Martial realm cultivators to death."
Qiongqi's voice rang in Lin Feng's mind. The dragon, royal clan of the demon realm, at the peak Demon Venerable level, would have almost no opponents below the Emperor level.
"These dragon scales can't be touched!" The crowd's expressions stiffened. There were treasures right before them, yet they couldn't be touched.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Potian suddenly took a step forward, and a rumbling sound rang out. The bloodline power on his body emitted a furious roar, shaking the void with the echoing sound of a surging blood ocean.
A beam of blood light shot up into the sky, transforming into a true dragon shadow that coiled around Xuanyuan Potian's palm.
"Collect for me, roar." Xuanyuan Potian's hand grabbed toward a dragon scale, and he let out a wild roar. The terrifying furious roar and the dragon roar intertwined, causing the surrounding void to emit explosive sounds.
The true dragon shadow formed by that bloodline power coiled around the dragon shadow. Xuanyuan Potian's hand suddenly exerted force, pulling the dragon scale loose. Then light flickered, and the dragon scale disappeared from the void, collected by Xuanyuan Potian.
"Brother Xuanyuan truly is a descendant of the imperial clan!" Yang Zhan exclaimed in admiration. What Venerables could not accomplish, Xuanyuan Potian had achieved.
"Let's go. This place isn't worth wasting time on." Xuanyuan Potian's steps continued deeper into the Dragon Palace. The omen of slaughter had already appeared, but where exactly did the auspicious sign of the dragon's cry in the dead of night come from?
The remaining Venerables followed Xuanyuan Potian one by one deeper into the Dragon Palace. Lin Feng remained where he was, and ahead of him, one person had not left yet. This person was precisely the shadowy figure Qiongqi had told him to watch.
This person glanced at Lin Feng, his face obscured. A low voice came from his mouth: "A person at the Second Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm can actually stand calmly amidst this desolate power."
Having said this, he didn't look at Lin Feng again. A peculiar power swirled out from his body, coiling around the dragon scales in the void. Then he extended a slender hand and directly grasped a dragon scale. What surprised Lin Feng was that this dragon scale did not emit a furious roar but instead disappeared directly, collected by that fair-skinned palm.
"You are a demon!" A voice came from Qiongqi's mouth, causing the shadowy figure, who was about to flicker away, to pause. He turned back to look at Qiongqi.
"Even if you know something, you shouldn't say it!" A cold voice came from his mouth. In an instant, an eerie, cold aura enveloped Lin Feng and Qiongqi.
"No need for that. We are of the same kind!" Qiongqi's body transformed into a fiery human form, entirely red, with a hint of demonic handsomeness.
"We?" The person looked at Lin Feng. Qiongqi was a demon beast, but Lin Feng was clearly human.
"Let him take a look!" Qiongqi said to Lin Feng, causing Lin Feng's gaze to freeze. He didn't understand what this fellow meant.
However, his gaze fell on the shadowy figure. His brow suddenly furrowed, and the demon sea flashed briefly, causing a hint of surprise to appear in the shadowy figure's exposed eyes.
"Strange. You are actually a demon, yet I didn't sense it!" The shadowy figure stared at Lin Feng. With the demon sea, there was no doubt. No wonder Lin Feng could resist the desolate power. It seemed he had secrets on him.
"We are of the same kind. Since we've both come here, if there's an opportunity, we can cooperate!" Qiongqi said to the shadowy figure.
"Alright. If there's a chance to cooperate, I will." The shadowy figure faintly uttered a sentence, then turned into an afterimage and disappeared from the spot.
"He is actually a demon!" Lin Feng looked at the departing figure, quite surprised. He glanced at Qiongqi, who had transformed into human form. This fellow didn't know what he was plotting.
"Kid, our strength is so weak. Since there's a ready-made ally, why not use him?" The demonically handsome Qiongqi showed Lin Feng a strange smile. Seeing his current face, Lin Feng felt it didn't quite match the words coming from his mouth.
Lin Feng and Qiongqi's figures also flickered deeper into the Dragon Palace. In this Dragon Palace, there were some corpses, all water demon beasts, their bones corroded black. Lin Feng even discovered the skeleton of a flood dragon. Unfortunately, only a black skeleton remained, nothing else preserved.
Continuing forward, they arrived at a resplendent, luxurious palace. There, terrifying desolate power rolled incessantly. What shocked Lin Feng was that on the ground lay a true dragon skeleton.
Over ten meters long, even in death, the dragon skeleton still exuded a majestic aura. Its abdominal claws tightly gripped the ground, as if trying to dig into the earth, while the dragon head was raised high, as if roaring in fury. In the dragon's mouth, a huge, dazzling crystal was embedded, containing a sky-high demonic aura, extremely terrifying.
Around it, gray dragon shadows swirled, as if guarding the crystal.
"Dragon's demon core!" The crowd's eyes were all fixed on the crystal. This was the beast core of a demon dragon, the beast core of the demon realm's royal clan. The demon power contained within it would be terrifying!
None of those Venerables moved, but their eyes revealed terrible greedy light.
In this Dragon Palace, there was actually the beast core of a peak Demon Venerable, and moreover, the beast core of a dragon from the demon realm's royal clan.
However, although their hearts trembled with excitement, not a single person moved. The dragon's demon core, condensed over who knows how many years of cultivation by the demon realm's royal clan, how could it be so easily obtained? The demon core itself likely contained terrible power, power that could destroy any one of them!
Even Xuanyuan Potian did not act rashly this time. He didn't know how much terrifying demonic power the demon core contained — power that even he could not withstand.
But Qiongqi's gaze was fixed on the entire hall, his demonic eyes flickering constantly. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment!
