Qin Chen was certain that this was definitely a true dragon, and a true dragon that far surpassed him at that. The aura emanating from the opponent was too terrifying; with just a single thought, it could annihilate him.
"Senior is...?"
Qin Chen's heart sank, and he hurriedly spoke respectfully. Although he didn’t know what had happened, he could sense that everything happening here was caused by this enormous true dragon. The chaos aura radiating from the true dragon could even be compared to that of the Chaos Tree. This was undoubtedly a top expert from the ancient primordial age. How could Qin Chen dare to confront him?
"Hmph, you two little brats, I was resting peacefully, yet you had to come here, truly thinking you could take away my Fate Dragon Pearl? You’re simply seeking death." The ancient true dragon gazed at Qin Chen coldly, its giant, bell-like eyes fixated on him, and in those eyes, Qin Chen could even see the traces of countless years flowing by.
What kind of existence was this? Qin Chen was shocked but did not dare to be careless. He quickly bowed respectfully and said, "I apologize for my recklessness, Senior. I disturbed you, please do not be angry. Fate Dragon Pearl? Could it be that Senior belongs to the True Dragon Tribe? I, too, am a disciple of the True Dragon Tribe. I sensed your attraction to me, which is why I intruded. If I have offended you, please forgive me."
"Hahaha, the True Dragon Tribe?"
The enormous true dragon phantom stared at Qin Chen, its form rising and falling in the chaos. The terrifying aura it exuded was akin to that of a deity, making it difficult for Qin Chen to even entertain the thought of resistance. One could say that the aura radiating from this true dragon phantom was one of the most terrifying presences Qin Chen had ever encountered. Although he did not know what level of existence this true dragon was, it gave him a feeling similar to that of the Sword Ancestor from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, the King of the Dark Tribe, or the Demon Ancestor from the Abyss Demon Tribe; it was undoubtedly among the most supreme existences in this universe.
As for how strong it really was, with Qin Chen's current abilities, he couldn’t discern that at all. In fact, just the fact that this ancient true dragon phantom could survive in the Soul Lake was an extremely terrifying matter. One must know that the Soul Lake was as fearsome as the Underworld River; even a Peak Earth Venerable would be turned to dust in an instant upon entering. The ability to survive at the bottom of this lake was certainly not something ordinary.
Thus, Qin Chen displayed a demeanor of great respect. He saw the true dragon phantom gazing at him, a cold smile appearing on its face. A hint of mockery flashed in its golden eyes as it looked at Qin Chen: "True Dragon Tribe? Are you really a member of the True Dragon Tribe? You possess the true dragon aura, true dragon might, and true dragon blood, yet you lack the true dragon soul. Do you truly believe you can deceive me? Do you even know who I am?"
At these words, Qin Chen shuddered, his heart sinking in an instant. Although he had evolved into the appearance of a member of the True Dragon Tribe through spiritual soul evolution, it could only fool ordinary venerables. In this mysterious space, combined with the dragon shadow before him, which was undoubtedly the top expert of the dragon tribe, seeing through his disguise was likely a trivial matter.
"Senior, indeed, you have sharp eyes. I am not truly a member of the True Dragon Tribe, but my true dragon form evolved by chance. I have never killed any members of the True Dragon Tribe, and the little dragon beside me is indeed a true dragon tribe person."
Qin Chen said, feeling apprehensive.
"Hmph, this fellow beside you does indeed possess the dragon soul of my True Dragon Tribe. However, it should be that my True Dragon Tribe committed some wrongs, and their soul was sent to the Underworld, entering the six realms of reincarnation, turning into a sinful being. Although it possesses a dragon soul, this sinful being must undergo countless tribulations to truly transform into a dragon body, with its soul mutating to return to my True Dragon Tribe." The true dragon phantom said coldly.
