665: Chapter 665 Senichi (30)

When the underground tomb complex rose, the entire Ten Thousand Dragon Graveyard fell silent for a moment.

An Immortal Aura and Death Qi, a hundred times heavier than before and mixed with ancient Dragon breath, surged into the sky.

Above the firmament, the layer of grey-yellow clouds was actually torn open by this Aura, creating a massive hole.

Senior Brother Duan Changfeng stood at the entrance of the valley, watching the massive complex of buildings rise from the ground before him. The killing intent and fury on his face were instantly replaced by shock and greed.

Countless small Dragon graves guarded a Supreme Imperial Mausoleum in the center, whose full appearance could not be seen clearly.

This scale, this Aura, had long since exceeded the category of ordinary Dragon corpses.

"Dragon Mausoleum..."

The followers behind Senior Brother Duan Changfeng were all trembling.

"Senior Brother Duan, the Sect's secret scrolls mentioned that a true Dragon Mausoleum might exist in the deepest part of the Ancient Dragon Burial Ground."

Senior Brother Duan Changfeng did not speak; his gaze was fixed on the Supreme Imperial Mausoleum, and his breathing became rapid.

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly linked the appearance of this Dragon Mausoleum to the heavenly dragon token in Qin Yun's hands.

"The heavenly dragon token."

"It really is it."

Senior Brother Duan Changfeng's eyes grew increasingly fervent, and his tone was certain when he spoke.

"This is the true Opportunity of the heavenly dragon token."

"The true 'Dragon' deep within the mausoleum must be related to the heavenly dragon token."

He no longer merely tested the waters as he had before; instead, he adopted a completely resolute attitude, telling those around him:

"Whoever can obtain the heavenly dragon token will be able to claim the greatest fortune here."

Qin Yun stood deep within the valley, his expression grim.

He secretly sensed the heavenly dragon token in his robes and discovered that after the Dragon Mausoleum appeared, it had returned to stillness, save for that initial violent vibration.

No pull. No resonance. Even that faint sense of direction had vanished.

Qin Yun immediately grew vigilant, realizing that Senior Brother Duan Changfeng's judgment was likely wrong.

But he had no way back now.

Behind him were Senior Brother Duan Changfeng and four controlled Dragon remains; before him was the newly opened Dragon Mausoleum, its dangers unknown.

Rather than being trapped here, it was better to push inside.

Without hesitation, Qin Yun flickered, taking the Opportunity to rush into the massive complex of tombs.

"Want to run?"

Senior Brother Duan Changfeng sneered and pursued him closely with his men.

Once they stepped into the range of the Dragon Mausoleum, the surrounding environment changed instantly.

Tomb passages, side halls, collapsed stone bridges, and massive burial pits could be seen everywhere.

The Death Qi and Dragon Aura in the air were much heavier than outside, and their Divine Sense was suppressed to only a hundred zhang.

As everyone approached, a Dragon corpse lying at the entrance of a side hall suddenly ignited with ghostly fire in its hollow eye sockets and lunged at them.

Qin Yun had been prepared; he tapped his feet and narrowly dodged it.

Senior Brother Duan Changfeng's follower was not so lucky. He was struck by the Dragon corpse's claw; his protective Immortal light shattered on the spot, and he flew backward, vomiting blood.

"Damn it!"

Senior Brother Duan Changfeng cursed in anger and unleashed a Dragon-Suppressing Talisman. With a flash of golden light, the Dragon corpse reluctantly stopped and turned back into a lifeless object.

But this was only the beginning.

As they pursued, they constantly disturbed the things sleeping within the mausoleum.

Qin Yun dodged the whole way, trying his best to avoid those Dragon corpses with powerful Auras.

Senior Brother Duan Changfeng and his group, however, disregarded everything. In their pursuit of him, they forced their way through, causing one Dragon corpse after another to awaken from their slumber.

For a time, the entire outer perimeter of the Dragon Mausoleum was filled with roars, and murderous intent lurked everywhere.

After being assaulted by three True Immortal-level Dragon corpses in succession and losing another follower, the people around Senior Brother Duan Changfeng were finally afraid.

"Senior Brother Duan, something is wrong."

One person whispered, "It is too dangerous here, and that brat's heavenly dragon token seems to have no effect on these Dragon corpses at all."

Senior Brother Duan Changfeng had also realized this himself.

The token in Qin Yun's hand had been like an ordinary piece of iron from start to finish, failing to trigger any Opportunity at all.

But he had already chased him here and paid such a high price; he was unwilling to give up.

"The greatest Opportunity must be in the deepest part."

Greed ultimately overcame reason. Senior Brother Duan Changfeng gritted his teeth and said:

"Continue the pursuit."

Just then, a main tomb passage ahead suddenly collapsed, triggering a chain reaction.

Rumble.

Suddenly, from all directions, dozens of Dragon corpses were startled. They crawled out of their respective tombs, and patches of soul fire ignited as they lunged toward them.

The pursuit instantly turned into a desperate flight for survival.

"Run!"

Senior Brother Duan Changfeng panicked as well. No longer caring about hunting down Qin Yun, he turned and fled with his men.

Qin Yun was also caught up in it, but he had remained vigilant throughout, so he was actually in a better state than Senior Brother Duan Changfeng's side.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he continuously wove through the gaps between the Dragon corpses, leaving Senior Brother Duan Changfeng and the others behind.

Screams rang out one after another.

Senior Brother Duan Changfeng's last follower was tackled to the ground by a Dragon corpse and instantly torn to pieces.

In the end, only Senior Brother Duan Changfeng remained, forced by the horde of Dragon corpses into the most core area of the Dragon Mausoleum.

A mausoleum, far more magnificent than all the other tomb halls, appeared before his eyes.

The Dragon Aura here was the strongest, and the Aura was the most astonishing.

"This is it!"

Hope and greed reignited in Senior Brother Duan Changfeng's eyes. He was convinced that the "Dragon" corresponding to the heavenly dragon token must be right here.

Without further hesitation, he rushed in.

Qin Yun was also forced by the Dragon corpses with no other way to go, so he had no choice but to follow and rush into that largest mausoleum.

But after rushing in, both of them were stunned.

Inside the mausoleum, it was vast and empty.

There were no Dragon corpses as imagined, no Immortal materials scattered everywhere, and not even the safe haven Senior Brother Duan Changfeng had anticipated was in sight.

There were only black stone platforms standing in the center of the mausoleum.

A strong sense of unease rose in both their hearts simultaneously.

It was as if something was awakening.

Boom.

The entire mausoleum shook violently.

On the stone platform, a Dragon, not particularly large in size but covered in black scales, slowly opened its eyes.

That was not a Dragon corpse, nor was it a remnant soul.

That was a living Dragon.

The rage and killing intent in its eyes were intense, and its terrifying Aura far exceeded the sum of all the Dragon corpses outside.

The moment Senior Brother Duan Changfeng saw that Dragon, his complexion truly changed—it turned deathly pale.

He recognized it.

It was a forbidden existence marked in blood in the Sect's secret scrolls.

One of the things that must never be provoked in the Ancient Dragon Burial Ground.

This was not an Opportunity.

This was a death warrant.

What made him even more desperate was that the moment the Dragon opened its eyes, the heavenly dragon token in Qin Yun's hand still showed no reaction.

He had bet wrong.

From the very beginning, he had been completely wrong.

This Dragon did not recognize the token, nor could it be subdued.

The killing intent in its eyes was already extreme; it clearly regarded all intruders as targets that must be killed.

An evil Dragon in front, a horde of corpses behind.

A true desperate situation had arrived.

Senior Brother Duan Changfeng stared at the evil Dragon, making a choice in a very short amount of time.

He could not die here.

The next moment, he roared and crushed a jade talisman in his robes.

That was a life-saving trump card bestowed by the Peak Master of the First Peak. Once used, it could forcibly tear open a path to survival and send him out of this place.

But the price was that all subsequent Opportunities in the Ancient Dragon Burial Ground would have nothing to do with him.

But life was more important than Opportunity.

Hum.

A golden light enveloped Senior Brother Duan Changfeng. He glanced at Qin Yun with resentment and unwillingness on his face, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.

He had escaped.

And Qin Yun was left here alone.

Alone, facing the awakened evil Dragon with shocking killing intent.

Qin Yun's heart sank bit by bit.

The heavenly dragon token seemed useless.

This was the first time since he entered the Immortal Realm that he had fallen into a dead end.

The evil Dragon did not give him much time to think. It let out a roar that shook the Divine Soul, and a massive Dragon claw, carrying the power to destroy everything, struck down directly toward Qin Yun's head.

There was no despair in Qin Yun's eyes, only extreme calmness.

He mobilized all the power within his body, preparing to make one final stand.

And it was at this moment, on the verge of life and death.

Deep in his Sea of Consciousness, in a certain corner, a mark that had been silent for a long time suddenly lit up.

That was a wisp of Aura that the Old Madman had quietly left behind when he patted him on the shoulder back at Zangdao Peak.

The mark was very faint, but under the killing intent of the evil Dragon, it was completely activated.

The evil Dragon's claw, which was about to land, suddenly paused in mid-air.

In its tyrannical eyes, there appeared a hint of... confusion?
