Chapter 4208 The Short Future

Several failures caused the Black Dragon Clan to suffer heavy losses, not to mention the younger masters.

Since they avoided the crisis of extinction, there has never been such casualties, which is beyond their expectations. With the lessons of these failures, the ancestors of the Black Dragon Clan understood a truth, that is, they should not underestimate Xiao Yi.

Regardless of whether there are masters around Xiao Yi to protect him, or whether the growth of this kid's strength is not so easy to deal with.

"Ancestor, do you mean to let him go? Apart from this kid, we can't find a better tripod."

Wanyan Hong was a little unwilling. With such heavy losses, they still couldn't achieve their goal. This meant that Wanyan Lie died in vain.

The guardian of the clan died in the hands of the Xiao clan. If he didn't find an explanation for this matter, he couldn't face his clansmen and would live in guilt for the rest of his life.

In front of Wanyan Hong stood a stone pillar, which was black in color and as thick as an arm. It connected the top of the cave and went straight into the dark abyss. The bottom was invisible.

The abyss was shrouded in endless black air, which continued to spread out and merged into the stone pillar. It could be vaguely seen that there were black tentacles from the dark abyss, trying to crawl out.

But once the tentacles left the black abyss, they immediately disappeared, and the other parts quickly retracted. It seemed that there was a force suppressing them above the abyss, and they could not escape from this dark abyss.

This was a place where even souls would be devoured, and living people could not get close to it. Under the endless dark abyss, there were countless bones of members of the Black Dragon Clan. In order to survive here, they paid too much.

Finally, the few people left discovered that this dark abyss had another use. By introducing black air into their bodies for cultivation, they could adapt to the environment here. More importantly, they could improve their cultivation and reduce the pressure brought by cultivation.

At first, their ancestors were overjoyed, but with the improvement of their cultivation, another phenomenon soon appeared. A black line appeared on the arm of each of them. At first, they didn't know what the black line meant.

Until decades later, one after another, members of the tribe died. They were less than 80 years old, had no symptoms, and no accidents. They died without any reason.

You should know that for practitioners, it is possible to live to hundreds of years old, and it is even easier to live to over 100 years old. At first, it was thought to be a coincidence, but with the death of a large number of elderly people, it can no longer be described as a coincidence.

After another inspection, a common feature was finally found, that is, the black lines on the arms of these dead people all extended to the chest and penetrated into the heart vein.

The black line not only improved their strength, but also was a curse. All people could not escape this level in the end. When the black line spread to the chest, there were not many days left.

It was like letting everyone know the end of their life. When a person knows his or her death date, it is a terrifying and desperate thing. No one wants to die, but no one can avoid this destined ending.

What's even more painful is that such a curse will not disappear, but will continue to the next generation. The Black Dragon Clan cannot escape such a fate and finally died with regret.

The only person who broke the curse is the ancestor in front of Wanyan Hong at this moment. This ancestor has lived for more than 600 years. He is the only one who has experienced the curse and is still alive.

Half of the ancestor's body has been fused with the black stone pillar, leaving only a head and an arm that can move. When the whole person can be integrated into the stone pillar, he will be completely extinct.

"I have lived for more than 600 years. In the past 600 years, the world has changed a lot. Too many things have happened. I understand a truth. If you want to achieve great things, you must learn to be patient."

If the Black Dragon Clan had no patience, it would have already gone to extinction. It's a pity that the waiting time is too long. How many people have no chance to see the day when the Black Dragon Clan rises.

"Ancestor... We have been patient for too long. How long do we have to endure? Can the clan's revival plan really be realized?"

"Are you doubting me?"

"No... No, I'm just worried that I might not live to that time."

Wanyan Hong sighed. This is also a concern for all the clansmen. They can't wait like their ancestors.

A black stone pillar stood up, and the exposed head had already become a skeleton, with eye sockets deeply sunken. At this moment, the originally shriveled eyes bloomed with green light, and a picture appeared in front of Wanyan Hong.

The scene shown in the picture is in the Xiao clan. The black air that covered the sky and the sun enveloped the entire Xiao clan. A huge ancient beast was devouring the vitality of the living. This picture was like purgatory on earth.

Countless people died in it. They struggled hard to escape from the black fog, but the black fog would never dissipate, and it continued to spread as it devoured blood, and became darker and darker.

Wanyan Hongliu now realized that the people in the black mist were his own people, but now they could no longer be called human beings. They had completely turned into inhuman monsters, killing the enemies in front of them.

"This is..."

The green light in the ancestor's eyes became weaker and weaker, and the last picture completely disappeared. Waves of disgusting bloody smell could be smelled in the air.

"I am using the power of the curse to let you see the short future. The rise of the Black Dragon Clan is inevitable, and it will be in the near future."

"Could it be that... the scene just now is what will happen in the future?"

"My body is completely fused with this stone pillar. I still haven't figured out the secret in more than 600 years. The power of the black stone pillar is far beyond what we can imagine."

The ancestor sighed. His end was already doomed, but before he completely disappeared, he must achieve the goal that his clan members have been working hard for generations.

"That kid is the key to opening the blood sacrifice formation, and the seven of you are also indispensable conditions. Find a way to fill Wanyan Lie's position, and then go and catch him."

"I understand!"

"As far as I know, his relatives are very important to him. Sometimes there is no need to abide by the rules set by practitioners. In order to achieve your goals, using any means is not the best way."

The ancestor reminded Wanyan Hong that sticking to the rules will only bring inconvenience to themselves. What they are going to do is against the way of heaven.
