Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 639: Town Dragon Tablet

"Eh? This looks familiar; isn’t it My Divine Dragon Sect’s Dragon God Monument?"

Ye Yun exclaimed lightly, a surprised look washing over his face.

Several months ago, Ye Yun had found a Dragon God Monument within the Tian Heng Sect of the Heavenly Star Dynasty. This particular Dragon God Monument was personally carved by Ye Yun and suppressed by the Seven-star Peak of the Tian Heng Sect. The Dragon God Monument summoned by the Deputy Sect Master of Shenluo Tian, however, was carved by the seventh Sect Master of the Dragon God Sect.

"Master, is this the Dragon God Monument?" The voice of Big Black Horse rang out from outside the carriage.

"Yes, it’s the Dragon God Monument, personally carved by the seventh Sect Master of My Divine Dragon Sect..." Ye Yun spoke softly.

Hearing this, Big Black Horse stared with wide eyes towards the depths of the Bottomless Pit.

How could Shenluo Tian, this small place, possess a Dragon God Monument from the Dragon God Sect? What on earth is going on? Could it be that Shenluo Tian has some secret connection with the Dragon God Sect?

"Just watch the show. All things will come to light eventually..." Ye Yun’s voice echoed from within the carriage.

"Very well, Master!" The serious-looking Big Black Horse nodded obediently.

「In the depths of the Bottomless Pit.」

Accompanied by BOOM! BOOM! the disciples of Shenluo Tian suffered heavily, with many falling one after another.

A flash of green light suddenly fell, revealing its true form in mid-air.

"A mere Divine Dragon, so what! Our Shenluo Tian’s Town Dragon Tablet will have no problem suppressing it!" A cold smile danced on the lips of the pale-faced old man as he pointed at the Town Dragon Tablet.

HUM!

The Town Dragon Tablet released a dazzling glow, and the dragon carved on its surface started to come alive. Suddenly, all the radiance gathered into a massive beam of light, targeting the Star Dragon in the distant array.

"What kind of magical treasure is this?" Behind the Bottomless Pit array, a man in yellow robes sucked in a breath of cold air upon seeing this. Fueled by his astounding intuition, he felt that the mysterious stele engraved with dragon patterns might pose a threat to the Star Dragon.

WHOOSH!

The splendid light beam shot straight towards the Star Dragon. First, it struck the top of the array. With a deafening BOOM, the blue array disintegrated instantly. And just like that, the Star Dragon was left without the protection of the array.

Seemingly sensing danger, it let out an angry roar and extended its claws toward the beam of light. However, to its surprise, the power within the light beam was exceptionally strange and immense. Not only did the dragon fail to shatter it, but a formidable force also enveloped the Star Dragon, forcibly dragging it towards the Town Dragon Tablet.

How can this be? How can this mysterious stele... be so powerful? The man in yellow robes turned pale, his body breaking into a cold sweat. If the strongest support of the Drilling Sky Mouse Clan is defeated, wouldn’t it bring catastrophe to their entire race?

"It truly deserves to be called the Town Dragon Tablet..." Watching the Star Dragon, unable to resist the light of the Town Dragon Tablet, a hint of a proud smile appeared on the pale-faced old man’s face. This is the profound foundation of Shenluo Tian.

"Deputy Sect Master, what exactly is this Town Dragon Tablet?" a man dressed in black robes beside him asked quietly.

"The Town Dragon Tablet is a secret of our Shenluo Tian. As Deputy Sect Master, I must naturally keep it confidential..." The pale-faced old man nodded and smiled.

The man in black froze, managing only a wry smile.

At that very moment, a sentence from the pale-faced old man was transmitted into his ear, "I can only tell you four words; ponder them carefully. These four words are ’Deep Well of Ghastly Corpse’..."

Deep Well of Ghastly Corpse? Upon hearing these words, the man’s heart skipped a beat. As if realizing something, enlightenment filled his eyes.

The pale-faced old man smiled, shifting his gaze into the distance. The Divine Dragon, which had been invincible just moments ago, was now powerless under the influence of the Town Dragon Tablet and was gradually being pulled back. Although the pull was slow, the Divine Dragon would be seized by the Town Dragon Tablet in less than the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.

「Inside the carriage.」

"This Dragon God Monument is not the same as it was 100,000 years ago..." Ye Yun suddenly sighed and gently pointed into the empty air.

A mysterious force suddenly descended from the sky, entering the body of the Star Dragon. Boosted by this energy, the Star Dragon suddenly perked up and forcefully broke free from the light of the Town Dragon Tablet.

"What? This Divine Dragon can break free from the Town Dragon Tablet? How... how is this possible?" The sight made the pale-faced old man shudder in fright.

"Deputy Sect Master, what should we do next?" the black-clad man beside him asked anxiously.

"Hurry and leave this place! Return to Shenluo Tian!" the pale-faced old man exclaimed without hesitation. As he spoke, he continuously cast spell after spell, infusing them into the Town Dragon Tablet suspended in mid-air.

HUM! HUM!

The Town Dragon Tablet began to tremble, its green light becoming deeper and brighter. It once again launched a beam of light, attacking the Star Dragon vigorously.

At the Deputy Sect Master’s command, the remaining disciples of Shenluo Tian retreated like a receding tide. Their retreat was exceptionally fast; in almost the span of a breath, they had left the Bottomless Pit. They flew out of the water, summoned a giant Magic Boat, and flew directly towards Shenluo Tian without pause.

The Star Dragon reached out with its colossal claw, grasping at the beam of light.

BOOM!

The collision produced a resounding, earth-shaking noise. This time, it was surprisingly an even match.

"Truly impressive. I must leave as well..." After casting several dozen spells, the pale-faced old man transformed into a beam of light and suddenly disappeared into mid-air. The black sedan chair that had been there also vanished with him. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Good heavens, he just ran away without even caring for his magical treasure!"

「Deep within the Bottomless Pit.」

The man in yellow robes watched this scene, his face breaking into a relaxed smile. Undoubtedly, Shenluo Tian had lost this battle, and the crisis of their Drilling Sky Mouse Clan had been thoroughly resolved. He believed that after this battle, no one from Shenluo Tian would dare to invade the Bottomless Pit again.

BOOM! BOOM!

After fighting viciously with the Star Dragon several times, the Town Dragon Tablet finally ran out of steam. It withdrew its beam of light and, amidst a HUMMING sound, transformed into a streak of blue light and vanished into thin air.

"This magical treasure can come and go so freely, as if divinely aided. I certainly didn’t expect that..." The Drilling Sky Mouse Clan Leader—the man in yellow robes—was dumbstruck as he watched, not knowing what to say. It appears the real owner of this magical treasure is still in Shenluo Tian.

After defeating the Town Dragon Tablet, the Star Dragon’s body became noticeably smaller than before. Its essence was an ancient will, and after repeated exertions, there wasn’t much energy left in its body.

"The Drilling Sky Mouse Clan has suffered too much damage. If Shenluo Tian launches another attack in the short term, I will not be able to help you anymore..." the Star Dragon said slowly, looking in a certain direction.

"Senior, we believe Shenluo Tian wouldn’t dare to come again!" The man in yellow robes bowed respectfully, his fists clasped, and replied politely.

"Alas! I don’t sense it anymore... Has it fallen?" The Star Dragon gazed in a certain direction and sighed softly.

"Senior..." The man in yellow robes opened his mouth to speak but then hesitated.

"Your Drilling Sky Mouse Clan was kind to my original form, which is why I gifted you seven Dragon Scales and left behind a sliver of my will. Today, though my victory was hard-won, you can rest assured. These seven Dragon Scales and this will shall continue to protect the Drilling Sky Mouse Clan until they finally dissipate..." The dejected Star Dragon’s tone suddenly shifted. Its Super Divine Dragon Breath became noble and sacred, as if it had recovered the supreme dignity of the Ancient Dragon Clan.

It looked down and spoke slowly.
