Chapter 1629: Four Clawed Dragon

　　No comments were given about the chase and no one wanted to help Hai Lin, not even the other demons present.

　　Soaring Immortal was in complete control at the moment and Aotian was considered invincible. Who would dare to fight against Soaring Immortal and Aotian for Hai Lin’s sake?

　　“That’s a golden dragon. Does the world really have such an immortal beast?” A few juniors stared in awe at the escaping beast carrying Hai Lin. Some daydreamed about having one as well.

　　People have always talked about dragons and phoenixes but they also knew that these creatures didn’t exist. At the very least, no one has seen them before.

　　The ones with these names currently living in this world only had a very thin bloodline from these creatures. They were flood-dragons and luans, not actual immortal beasts. [1]

　　The sight of this particular golden dragon at this moment made many people think that the real immortal beasts could be in this world.

　　“Hai Lin is something else, to even have a golden dragon like this, no wonder why he can escape from Aotian’s grasp. With such powerful creatures protecting him, he could have become emperor if it wasn’t for Aotian.” Another expert said with envy.

　　“This golden dragon is his senior with a prestigious position and a n.o.ble bloodline.” A demon ancestor said with emotions: “This golden dragon can definitely a.s.sail an emperor yet it is still not enough to face Aotian.”

　　While people were in awe of the dragon, Li Qiye was amused at their opinion. The world had many speculations and explanations regarding dragons but they were mainly misinformed.

　　The dragon race was both a vast yet narrow topic. When people talked about dragons, even flood-dragons were considered ordinary dragons. Some with shallow knowledge even considered dao serpents to be dragons.

　　But in the eyes of real dragons, only those with the real ancient bloodline of the divine beast were considered dragons. This bloodline must be pure as well, not the thin one coursing through the veins of the many b.a.s.t.a.r.ds.

　　Because of this, real dragons looked down on the serpents and flood-dragons that claimed to be part of their race. They considered them to be mere insects.

　　Alas, True Dragons were exceedingly rare even above the nine heavens. The ones with fully matured bloodline could be counted with one’s fingers.

　　Putting that aside, dragons still had a very wide definition. Normally, one could be a dragon with enough inherited blood of a True Dragon. Of course, derision and scorn would come from creatures with thin bloodline claiming to be dragons.

　　As for this golden dragon ahead, it had one-third of a True Dragon Bloodline. This was the reason why its body was so resplendent and its draconic aura powerful.

　　A matured Golden Dragon can indeed a.s.sail an emperor. However, it still wasn’t a True Dragon, only a side branch. Its blood was still tainted by the flood-dragon race. Because of this, its bloodline and power were no match for a True Dragon.

　　This dragon’s bloodline wasn’t completely pure and it hasn’t fully matured just yet. This was the reason why its scales weren’t golden, only the shade. It was also why it only had four claws instead of five.

　　If the situation was different, that this dragon had five claws and golden scales, then it would be beating Long Aotian to death right now.

　　“Look, it’s Fiercest!” The spectators watching the chase finally noticed Li Qiye in the distant sky.

　　“What is going on? Is Fiercest aiming for Long Aotian?” One speculated.

　　“That’s possible. Two days ago, Aotian challenged Fiercest so given his unbridled personality, it would be strange if he wasn’t aiming for Aotian.” One person answered.

　　“Aotian clearly knows that he’s being watched by Fiercest but he is still as unperturbed as ever while Fiercest is publicly following him. These two are really too aggressive and not afraid of anyone.” Even a big shot from the last generation had to comment.

　　Many experts were watching with bated breath. They simply wanted to see whether these two would start fighting or not. No one cared whether Hai Lin could get away or not any longer.

　　Some found Aotian’s ferocity to be admirable. 

　　“That’s an imperial prince for you, the successor of Soaring Immortal. Only him among the young generation would dare to provoke Fiercest.” Even those who hated him had to admit.
