1370 Forefather Dragon Lizard (1/2)

Somewhere inside Dragon Lizard Star.

There was a spacious bubbling lava pond with a surging flaming fluid. It looked like a massive heart that burned until it became red. Countless rocks around the pond melted into liquid.

Cracking and crunching sounds echoed from the lava pond as if there was a giant beast eating something deep under the pond.

The asteroids moved through the cave channels and poured into the lava pond. Among them was an ordinary rock that moved with the flow. That asteroid concealed a divine weapon from the Absolute Beginning Era. At this moment, that asteroid glided with the other asteroids and fell into the heart-like lava pond. Flaming fluid splashed everywhere.

No one could see the massive three-legged cauldron inside the asteroid. When it fell into the lava, it suddenly shrank billions of times and became a small light dot.

After an unknown time, the asteroids no longer came. Five members of the Dragon Lizard Clan at Second Sky of Immortal Realm emerged from a cave next to the pond. They stood respectfully by the lava pond, lowering their heads and calling for the Forefather.

Not long afterward, the lava boiled when a figure emerged and flew out of the scorching pond.

He didn't look very different from the other members of Dragon Lizard Clan except for his skin, which was like a scarlet rock full of rock patterns. Anyway, it wasn't his real body. It was a clone made of his power and soul. His real body was still sinking in the lava pond in the deepest area of Dragon Lizard Star.

”Forefather,” when the five experts of the Dragon Lizard Clan saw him, they greeted him respectfully.

Dragon Lizard had thick, strange red hair and a red beard. Each of his muscles was filled with exploding power. The energy in this clone wasn't a joke. He looked at the five experts and his voice was like thunder. ”You came here altogether. Someone important came?”

”Forefather, Commander Singh of the Soul Clan arrived,” said a Dragon Lizard expert.

”Oh, Singh came early this time,” Dragon Lizard's eyes were very dark. Pondering for a while, he said, ”My real body has just finished a meal. I still need time to digest. Singh came here this time for the old stuff, I suppose. They want us to unite with their Soul Clan.”

”Forefather, it seems like uniting with the Soul Clan will do us no harm,” said that expert.

”No harm?” Dragon Lizard snorted, ”You think the Soul Clan is easy to live with? Once we unite with them, we will be tied all together. They will control us. We won't have our freedom anymore. Singh wants to unite with us because of the Immortal Pellet and the method to refine the pellet. Too bad…”

”Forefather, you're at Peak of Immortal Realm. You're just one step away from the Territory Ancestor level, but you haven't mastered the Dark Energy to become a real Territory Ancestor. If we don't give them our answer, will the Soul Clan trouble us?” said another expert.

Dragon Lizard wore a heavy face. ”While staying dormant, I've studied the Dark Energy. I think I still need a little bit more but this barrier isn't something out of reach. The day I break to the Territory Ancestor level, we won't need to mind the Soul Clan's attitude anymore.”

Pausing for a while, he said, ”We still have the three Immortal Pellets from our ancestors. I hope that we can use them to exchange for something related to the Dark Energy. You guys spread the news that we will prioritize any scripture, treasure, or technique related to learning the Dark Energy to exchange for the Immortal Pellet!”

The five clansmen of the Dragon Lizard Clan nodded respectfully.

They understood that it depended on the existence of the Territory Ancestor expert in the clan that a second-class clan could become a first-class clan. Only a tribe with the Territory Ancestor expert could have a solid foundation in this sea of stars.

”Singh came here a little early this time. It's not like him. Besides him, are there any representative from the super clans?” asked Dragon Lizard.

”Not as of this moment,” the others shook their heads.

”Okay. After I digest, I can use my soul to cover the entire Dragon Lizard Star. I can see every commotion on this planet when that happens. But now, I need you guys to watch them closely. Release the news and tell them that we will prioritize the ones who know about the Dark Energy to exchange for the Immortal Pellets. Those with good information can come and meet me directly,” Dragon Lizard ordered.

The five Second Sky of Immortal Realm nodded respectfully and then left.

After they had left, he frowned and looked suspiciously at the lava pond. He mumbled to himself, ”I did sense a feeble soul, but I couldn't find anything. Strange. Did I sense wrongly?”

As he had a profound realm, when the divine weapon from the Absolute Beginning Era came to his stomach, he could sense it.

However, the massive three-legged cauldron had shrunk like a small dot and its aura blended with the other asteroids so he couldn't find it.
