Dragon World.

The Dragon was the progenitor, and all life forms were descendants of dragons.

This is a world where life forms cultivate the dragon power. Every creature can embrace the magic power of the universe, inherit secret methods, soak in the spirit of heaven and earth, draw in the energy of sun, moon, and stars for cultivation, and ultimately transform into a dragon. That's the way to seize the heaven's mandate and become stronger and longer-lived.

The dragon is the origin of power.

The stronger the dragon you cultivate into, the longer you will live, and your power will increase ever more. A powerful dragon is capable of shattering mountains and rivers with a wave of its hand, plucking stars and moons as if reaching into a bag for an object.

It is said that the progenitor, the Divine Dragon with countless claws, would have lived in eternal harmony with the sun and moon, the heaven and earth, had it not been for the catastrophic impacts of meteors and thunderstorms, and the great catastrophe of life and death cast down upon them by the heavenly way, he would never have died.

The path of dragon cultivation starts from the lowest level of 'Nine Dragon Transformation Realm.' If a creature can awaken their dragon pattern talent after the Nine Dragon Transformation Realm, they can cultivate into a Black Dragon and embark on the path to dragonhood. Above the Black Dragon, there are sequentially the realms of White Dragon, Red Dragon, Silver Dragon, and Golden Dragon, with each realm divided into nine ranks, rank one being the lowest, and rank nine the strongest.

…

In the Spirit Dragon Domain, within the Sky Wind City, there lies the Spring Autumn Academy and the Lower Work Department!

"Sky Night Dragon Emperor, you've massacred a million clansman of the Ye family, insulted my wife and concubines, annihilated my dragon body and soul, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost…"

A young man lying on a wooden bed within a small wooden cabin abruptly opened his eyes. His dazzling eyes were flashing with resentment so sharp, like two blades cutting through the universe, making the air itself seem to cease its movement.

"I'm still alive…"

As a conditioned reflex, Ye Tian leaped up from the wooden bed.

"Where am I? How did I, the Dragon Emperor, end up here?"

Ye Tian looked around in confusion at the environment within the wooden cabin.

The cabin is simply and oldly furnished, with nothing more than a wooden bed, table, and chairs.

"No, this is not me."

Ye Tian suddenly felt himself becoming smaller, which greatly surprised him.

At this moment, a memory that did not belong to him flooded into his mind.

"I really didn't expect the Master Dragon Emperor to be reborn in another body!"

Ye Tian was first taken aback, then greatly delighted.

Through the emerging memory, Ye Tian knew that he was reborn into the body of a boy with the same name and surname.

Moreover, more than three thousand years had passed since his downfall.

This place is the Spirit Dragon Domain, Ye Tian's homeland in his previous life, and it is also called the mundane world by the Divine Dragon World.

This teenager is only fifteen years old, a miscellaneous disciple of the Spring and Autumn Academy in Tianfeng City, and was sent to the Spring and Autumn Academy for cultivation by his father nine years ago.

However, his luck was rather bad, his meridians were blocked since birth and he was unable to open the Dragon Field to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to condense dragon energy.

Therefore, Ye Tian, who had been in the Spring and Autumn Academy for nine years, was still at the Third Layer of Dragon Transformation.

Leading a life of great despair under the label of a 'great waste', Ye Tian was often bullied.

Of course, the reason for his death was still his genius fiancée, Ling Zhi Meng.

Ling Zhi Meng's family and the Ye family are old acquaintances. When they were little, their elders had arranged for them to marry, and later they both entered the Spring and Autumn Academy for cultivation.

In the beginning, nothing much was there between them. Childhood sweethearts, each other's playmates, their relationship was extremely good.

However, once Ling Zhidream's test revealed that she carried the four-claw dragon mark talent, she changed. Her lofty nature, especially when she told him: "Dragons do not dwell with snakes," profoundly hurt Ye Tian, who was deeply infatuated with her.

Just yesterday, Ling Zhidream astonishingly signaled one of her admirers to attack "Ye Tian". That admirer, named Zhang Long, was a master in the Black Dragon realm. Extremely powerful, with one palm, he sent "Ye Tian" flying, blood spewing from his mouth, and seriously injured.

In his memory, "Ye Tian" crawled back home. After his return, because of the aggravating internal injuries, he lost his life in the end.

"Hmph, a woman with the four-claw dragon mark talent, not even qualified to be a maid for this Dragon Emperor,"

Ye Tian scoffed disdainfully.

In his previous life, he was a generation's pride, the Dragon Emperor, followed by countless admirers. Even a random servant's dragon mark talent was stronger than Ling Zhidream.

What did she have to be so arrogant about?

"Don't worry. Since this Dragon Emperor has taken over your body, from now on, your affairs are mine. Whatever insult you've endured, I'll help you return it a hundredfold."

"As for the arrogant woman Ling Zhidream, I want her to kneel and apologize to this Dragon Emperor. And the time won't be long."

Ye Tian’s heart was cold. In his previous life, as the prideful Dragon Emperor, he led his family to the status of a nine-rank, large family. He was decisive in killing and had a calm temperament, certainly not the type to tolerate being bullied without retaliation.

"And about Heavenly Night Dragon Emperor. Don't think that since your Tian family rules the Divine Dragon World, I should be afraid of you. Someday, I will climb to the Divine Dragon Domain, avenging the blood-soaked vengeance from 3000 years ago when you exterminated my Ye family."

Then, Ye Tian began to examine his internal condition.

Upon examination, he furrowed his brows, because his body right now was extremely weak. Not only were all the meridians in his body severely blocked, but that vicious palm strike inflicted by Ling Zhidream's admirer yesterday ruptured all his vital organs causing, inevitably, his demise.

However, these problems seemed minor to Ye Tian, the once prideful Dragon Emperor.

"Dragon Pearl, is that a Dragon Pearl?!"

Suddenly, Ye Tian realized he saw a 'Dragon Pearl' swirling within his consciousness sea, like a sphere, shimmering a faint ink-like glow.

For this Dragon Pearl, no one was more familiar with it than Ye Tian.

In his previous life, the reason why he was able to cultivate into the Dragon Emperor, the outstanding talent of his time, and why his Ye family was annihilated, was all due to this Dragon Pearl.

In his previous life, although Ye Tian was gifted from a young age, he actually only had the five-claw dragon talent, which was barely stronger than the current Ling Weaving Dream by one claw.

Dragon talent determines the realm a lifeform can cultivate to, so according to Ye Tian's Dragon Talent from the previous life, he could cultivate up to the Golden Dragon realm at most, and could not make further progress.

Unfortunately, Ye Tian's rebellious temper made him unwilling to die old in a mere few hundred years, so he risked his life alone to break into the forbidden spirit realm known as the Dragon Burial Abyss. After a life-and-death ordeal, he obtained a Dragon Pearl from the abyss.

Once he acquired the Dragon Pearl, Ye Tian received the Dragon Pearl's energy container which rapidly boosted his cultivation, creating an era's outstanding talent - the Dragon Emperor.

The Ye family that he left behind flourished, elevating from an obscure small family to a ninth-ranking family within a few years, commanding respect and establishing dominance in the Dragon domain with numerous forces supporting them.

However, as the Dragon Pearl giveth, the Dragon Pearl taketh away.

When the news of Ye Tian's acquisition of the Dragon Pearl spread, it caused a great upheaval in the Dragon World and many forces started to target the Ye family.

During that time, swaying with the ebbs and flows, countless powerful beings besieged the Ye family, demanding Ye Tian to surrender the Dragon Pearl.

But, Ye Tian was the Dragon Emperor, the one who looked down upon the world from heavenly heights, why would he fear? He would annihilate all who dared to confront him.

Yet not long after, the Tian family, another ninth-ranking family, made their move.

The Tian family was the most powerful among the ninth-ranking families. They had nine individuals in the Dragon Emperor realm, and their ancestor, the Night Dragon Emperor, had reached the pinnacle of the Dragon Emperor realm, unmatched in his cultivation.

When the powerful Tian family made a move against the weak Ye family, it was like striking down a rotten tree, effortlessly collapsing the Nine-Tiered Great Clan of a million individuals, turning it into ruins, annihilating the entire clan.

Even the proud Dragon Emperor Ye Tian, after fiercely fighting for seven days and nights, exhausted his strength and perished in the Dragon-break Mountain Range.

At the moment of his death, in order not to fall into the hands of the Sky Night Dragon Emperor, Ye Tian chose to self-destruct, annihilating himself.

"Could it be that I was able to reincarnate through possession because of this Dragon Pearl?"

Ye Tian exclaimed in surprise, recalling that at the final moment of the self-destruction, he seemed to see a beam of light streaking across the firmament, incredibly dazzling.

"Ah!"

Just when Ye Tian was about to touch the Dragon Pearl with his mind, the pearl suddenly emitted illuminating rays of light, causing his head to feel heavy.

"Dragon blood, that drop is dragon blood, it must be dragon blood! Nothing else could possess such pure energy."

Seeing a thumb-sized droplet of crimson blood dripping from the spinning Dragon Pearl, Ye Tian was extremely astonished.

That drop of fresh blood was emitting dazzling divine light, with dragon-shaped patterns appearing, as though mini dragons were soaring and dancing within, lifelike and vivid.

The dragon blood entered his body through his forehead, transforming into strands of energy spreading throughout.

Crack! Crack!

Continuous sounds were heard as the dragon blood's energy burst open many blocked meridians within Ye Tian's body.

"Hisss!"

Ye Tian winced in sudden pain, gasping in cold air, but he was ecstatic inside, feeling vibrant vitality, a sensation of rebirth.

His flesh and bones were continuously tempered, gradually becoming stronger.

"Ten Thousand Claw Divine Dragon Skill, Ancestral Dragon Body... countless divine arts, unparalleled in the world..."

Suddenly, the Dragon Pearl shot out a beam of light, blooming in Ye Tian's sea of knowledge, illuminating the universe, giving a divine-like enlightenment.

A Dragon Cultivation Technique naturally imprinted into Ye Tian's mind and started to operate automatically.

"Ah, the Dragon Field is open, achieving the Fourth Transformation of the Dragon!"

At that moment, Ye Tian roared towards the sky, a crunching sound echoed within his body. Instantly, he activated the Dragon Field, breaking through one cultivation base.

"Crack!"

"Fifth Transformation of the Dragon!"

Ye Tian continued to break through.

"Sixth Transformation of the Dragon!"

It was only when he reached the sixth transformation of the Dragon that Ye Tian's aura gradually calmed down.

This time, not only did Ye Tian activate the Dragon Field, but he also improved threefold, attaining the peak of the Sixth Transformation of the Dragon, almost reaching the Seventh Transformation.

Ye Tian's eyes flashed, his aura introverted. At this moment, a drop of dragon blood had entered his body, not only healing all his internal injuries but also increasing his cultivation step by step.

This was destiny's fortune.

"What's that smell? It’s stinky. I need to take a bath."

Sensing the nauseating odor emanating from his body, Ye Tian looked down to see many impurities excreted from his body. He immediately stood up, ready to go out.

Just then, a delicate but willful voice came: "Ye, you big waste, are you dead yet? My lady has sent me to deliver ointment to you."

In an instant, the door of the wooden hut was kicked open from outside, and then, a tall woman walked in.
