Chapter 680: An interesting dragon, with a lot to tell (1)
Although Tang Yin had been distracted by that huge dragon's voice, he still managed to avoid a killing blow when the dragon's claws struck the place where he stood.
Tang Yin then sensed that behind him was Qingyue, so he launched a water attack towards the front to destabilize that entire water region and arrived in front of Qingyue.
"Tang Yin, there is a huge barrier that won't let us out. It looks like it's a ball surrounding the whole area." Qingyue said quickly when he arrived at her side, as she checked his body to make sure he wasn't injured.
Tang Yin frowned and looked back. "That guy's weakness is this Eternal Sea. I can feel that he is suppressed here by huge chains and the Sea itself, but I fail to understand what this Sea is in depth." He replied and grabbed Qingyue's waist to jump to the side, dodging an attack.
That huge dragon claw didn't have much range, but the barrier behind them was just the border of its range, so it was a barrier erected by that dragon.
Still, when Tang Yin jumped up and saw the final path of the claw, he frowned and looked straight ahead. "What do you want? It seems you can't kill us easily, even when you're quite powerful." Tang Yin said, realizing a few things in the claw strike.
The dragon then let out a snort and scoffed. "Heh, why would I bother killing ants? I'm only interested in your power and who you are. This is the first time I've seen a bearer of that power," the dragon replied.
Tang Yin frowned once again. 'That power? He mentioned it before. Does he mean the Law of Control? That's what I'm using to control this water. It's a pity that I can't investigate it further with the Law; my current understanding is very pitiful.' Tang Yin sighed.
"If you want to ask questions, I would also like to ask several, so if you want me to answer questions for you, then you'll have to answer them first." He replied, and the dragon let out a loud snort through his mouth.
From his mouth came a breath that scattered much of what stood between Tang Yin's gaze and him so that soon, not even the treasures around the area remained. The small sea rocks disappeared, and even the curtain Tang Yin had made earlier vanished.
Only Tang Yin was left, hugging Qingyue in front of a dragon so huge it seemed unreal. The magnitude of its size seemed to be proportional to its incredible strength.
In a world where Tang Yin could be one of the absolute rulers due to the limitations of the world, there was this dragon. So powerful that all of Tang Yin's attacks were child's play to him.
"I don't mind answering anyway; I'm bored most of the time lying in this place," the dragon replied in a slightly friendly tone.
Although Tang Yin found this suspicious, he had many doubts about who could be as giant as this guy or how high his power was. But even more, he had doubts about this place, the Eternal World, in general, was a mystery to him, and perhaps this man who was tied up here could give him some answer.
"Who exactly are you, and why are you tied up here?" Tang Yin asked directly.
The dragon sighed a little. "How much do you know about the Primordial World?" the dragon asked.
'Primordial World again... Then this guy should be from there.' Tang Yin thought and shook his head.
"I have no idea about that place. I only know that the Eternal World belongs to the Primordial World," he replied, and the dragon nodded.
"I see; you must be from the remote parts of the universe, then. Perhaps from the lower-level civilizations," the dragon replied, nodding continuously.
"Then you don't need to know anything about that place. As long as you know where you are, that's enough. This whole world was once mine. The Primordial Dragon of Cursed Eternity, that name you've surely heard before. That Dragon is me." The Dragon's tone was rather haughty, showing that he was proud of his status, his race, and his power.
Proud of his identity.
But to his surprise, Tang Yin looked confused. "I've never heard that name, but it sounds like someone powerful," he replied, making the dragon look at him as if he were stupid.
"You've never heard my name? Shit, what the hell is the dragon race doing then? Are they eating snot? Or do you live in a fucking dirty water well? How the hell can you not know the name of the Primordial Dragon?" the dragon replied fiercely.
Their anger caused the surrounding water to shake fiercely, creating huge waves on the surface.
Tang Yin and Qingyue didn't know it, but the vast majority of people were running out of the Eternal Sea precisely because of that, and many people died. Many of them couldn't even see a real treasure at least once, and the word that a terrifying beast had awakened would spread throughout the Eternal World in a matter of a few days.
Naturally, none of them would imagine that two people, the weaker ones, were talking to that terrifying beast.
And they could not see what was happening outside the strange dome that this dragon had created.
Tang Yin simply sighed. "Perhaps it is as you say. I might have been living in a world with little contact with the outside. But I think I understand that you are quite extraordinary. You say you were the master of this world? Then why are you bound here?" he asked curiously, and the dragon drastically changed his behavior.
His anger was erased to show some sadness, though in reality, he was still angry.
"I am a Primordial Dragon. One of the first of my race. I don't even know how long I have lived, but I am not the only one. I represent 'Eternity', which is also my curse. Back then, I created this world with my own hands. The Eternal Sea and the Eternal Fire. The Eternal Forest and the Eternal Ice... Even the Eternal Night. All that I created, thinking it would be good for the universe. In the end, I have to serve the sentence of my own curse." His manner of speaking reflected helplessness and he seemed to be recalling a very distant past.
Though suddenly his tone of voice changed to a joking one, without warning. "Well, it's not like I can do much either. I was betrayed because they feared my power, and in the end, I ended up here, imprisoned in one of my creations. My greatest creation was this place, but at the same time, this place became the only creation capable of containing me. Because its eternity is more supreme than the eternity of the rest of my creations when it is against a powerful person like me." After saying this and without feeling guilty or thirsting for revenge, the dragon looked at Tang Yin again.

"Is that all? I like to talk about the past; it reminds me of my glory days. If you want to ask anything else, I'll answer it," he said proudly.
