Dong Qianqiu slowly closed her eyes. Gradually, all of the cold aura around gradually faded away. Only the life energy gathered by the meditation room from all directions was still abundant.
***
Sitting in the middle of the meditation room, Lan Xuanyu placed the green ruyi in front of him, allowing the surrounding rich life energy to cover his body, his expression a little worried.
He didn’t know what he was going to face next, but he deeply understood in his subconscious that that colorful gem was very important to him. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have triggered such desires of thirst in him.
He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, adjusting the bloodline power in his body to its most stable state, and then he slowly opened the box in front of him.
The box opened slowly, and Lan Xuanyu’s eyes froze in an instant. The next moment, the nine-colored gemstone that shone with a seven-colored halo slowly appeared in front of him.
The tear-shaped gemstone emitted a colorful halo in the meditation room where light was not bright, giving people a feeling of intoxication.
The soft rainbow-colored rays of light reflected on Lan Xuanyu’s face, making his whole person shrouded in a layer of colors.
For some reason, at this moment, Lan Xuanyu didn’t feel the same desire than when he first saw it. Instead, it was a kind of intimacy and familiarity, as if the gem itself was a part of his body. That familiar feeling felt so comfortable, it was like finding a loved one, and he couldn’t wait to get into the embrace of that person.
He carefully picked up the colored gem from the box. It was not big, slightly smaller than his knuckle.
When he squeezed the gem, suddenly, his whole person fell into a momentary trance.
In an instant, in Lan Xuanyu’s ears, there were suddenly countless dragons roaring. As if he had entered a world of giant dragons at this moment.
Around him, tens thousand dragons roared and thousands danced. It made him feel like he had entered an indescribable world.
The golden and silver vortex in his chest trembled suddenly and violently, but there was no violent eruption. Instead, it was quivering slightly amidst the trembling.
In the next instant, Lan Xuanyu discovered that the seven-colored light spots in his gold and silver vortex suddenly became brighter.
He finally understood why he felt such a strong sense of familiarity when he looked at this gem before. Wasn’t this color very similar to the color of his bloodline vortex’s core ? It’s just that this gem’s origin seemed to be nine-colored, whereas his bloodline’s core was seven-colored, but it was exactly the same kind of seven-colored blooming outwards from the nine-colored gem.
The colors spread instantly, Lan Xuanyu only felt a strong buzzing in his brain, and everything around him changed in the next instant.
The scenery in front of him had completely changed, and the surroundings seemed a little illusory, but his field of vision was uncomparably clear.
Lan Xuanyu found that he had come to a valley, a seemingly barren valley surrounded by high mountains. The huge rocky mountains were rugged and filled by a taste of desolation and bleakness.
There was nothing in the huge valley. He looked around and found that he was able to move, but when he looked down at him, what he saw was a transparent body enveloped in seven colors.
At this moment, a huge roar sounded. The entire valley vibrated violently.
Lan Xuanyu suddenly looked up at the sky, and the originally clear sky suddenly changed. The entire sky was dyed into nine colors.
In the center of the nine colors was a vortex where green and purple blended together, and the other seven colors spread outward.
Immediately afterwards, an unknown mass of objects fell from the sky, toward the valley.
Silhouettes fell downwards one after another, landing to the ground. At the beginning, they were just small black dots, but gradually, the black dots became larger until they reached the ground.
“Boom—” The first behemoth fell and hit the ground fiercely. Even more than half of his body was imprinted on the ground, blood bursting out, and a large area of land was instantly dyed red.
The more than 100 meters long body was actually a corpse, with scarlet scales flying around because of the huge inertial impact.
What was that? That was a dragon! A huge crimson dragon with a body length of more than 100 meters, the aura on its body powerful and terrifying.
However, after falling to the ground, it only slightly raised its head, its eyes full of anger and unwillingness. In the next instant, its huge head slowly fell to the ground, losing its breath.
“Boom, boom, boom!” Silhouettes continuously fell from the sky, smashing down on the valley, the mountains in the valley collapsed and the ground cracked. Unmeasurable amount of fresh blood stained the world.
They were all giant dragons ! When they fell, some were already corpses, but some were still alive. And those who were alive gradually lost their life aura after falling to the ground severely.
White, red, yellow, blue, cyan, golden and silver dragons continued to fall.
Lan Xuanyu only felt that his breathing was becoming difficult at this moment, he couldn’t imagine what kind of scene this was !
Giant dragons fell in front of him just like that, and an indescribable grief and anger spread in his chest as these dragons fell.
Why? Why would such powerful dragons fall like this ? Who ? Who had such a powerful strength that could make so many dragons meet their end ?
In the entire valley, within a very short period of time, dragon corpses had been scattered, and an aura of sadness and death spread in every corner of the valley.
This place had clearly become a cemetery of the dragon clan !
Lan Xuanyu closed his eyes in pain, he was already a little afraid to look at all this in front of him. However, the strong sense of shock assaulting his senses wouldn’t allow him that, even if he closed his eyes, the scenes continued to appear in front of him.
Suddenly, the world quaked. Lan Xuanyu subconsciously opened his eyes again and looked into the sky.
In the sky, nine colors gradually converged, and a huge figure slowly emerged.
A ray of blood flickered in the air, and an extremely angry roar resounded through the sky and the earth.
Even the giant dragons that had fallen, at the sound of this roar, they all raised their heads involuntarily and looked in one direction.
In the sky, nine-colored rays of light gradually converged, one gold and one silver, and two silhouettes suddenly separated and escaped in two different directions. Then a huge figure over 10,000 meters in length fell from the sky, right in the center of the valley.
It was a giant dragon with a body length of more than 10,000 meters and covered with scales shining with nine-colored rays of light. Its body was not complete, its head has been divided into two, while its huge body was in the process of falling, heavens and earth were turned into a nine-colored world.
In an instant, all the dragons, even the ones that had already died, uttered a sorrow in their mouths. Amidst the giant dragons’ sorrowful cries, the huge figure smashed to the ground in the middle of the valley with a “boom”.
A terrifying sound reverberated in the valley, and the entire valley was dyed by the colors in an instant.
Lan Xuanyu stared blankly, his whole person already sluggish. What was that huge figure? Such a dragon, he had never even heard of it in the records.
The body of a dragon could be as long as ten thousand meters? Make ten thousands dragons mourn for it ? What was that ?
Dragon King? No, it’s not just the Dragon King, it was probably the Dragon God!
When the huge Dragon God fell, Lan Xuanyu only felt that his heart was torn apart, an indescribable grief spread in his heart, causing his whole person to tremble violently.
It is probably Tang Wulins armband that he got in the dragon graveyard. As when he was on demon Island he got an orb of life and destruction into his dragon core. Or something like that. As I went back in dd3 to look at what the dragon god’s core looked like, and it was a ball.

But the title

Typo-
“The golden and silver vortex in his chest trembled suddenly and violently, but there was no violent eruption. Instead, she was quivering slightly amidst the trembling.”
She is used instead of he.
Also I think making the scale in the chapter title plural so it is scales would match the chapter content better. As scale is singular and is more like referring to an object and the title seems to be referencing the dragon god.
-Typo
Ah so sad little Xuanyu had to watch all those dragons die. I always liked the fact that they show scenes from the past happening like this, but really it is so sad seeing the dragons get wiped out, it is no wonder Yuena was so angry at first.

I think “It” should be used because the vortex was being described, not Lan Xuanyu.
Also singular makes sense, since what Lan Xuanyu is holding is most likely not a gem, but an actual scale of the Dragon God, and he only has one.

It was described as a tear shaped gem, it was never a scale, but a gem. So the tile isn’t referring to the tear.

Given the context of the chapter and the emphasis that has been placed on this “gem” the past 2 or 3 chapters, I think we can safely assume the gem=scale. It’s only described as a gem due to their lack of understanding what it actually is, in addition to how beautiful it looks.
In my opinion, gem is a bit of an understatement to describe a scale from the body of THE Dragon God.

It’s a gem I read the manhua and it clearly shows it as a gem. They wouldn’t make the mistake of calling it a gem instead of a scale at Shrek either they would have clearly been able to identify it as a scale rather then a gem they are two different things. A scale also wouldn’t form a thread to wrap around the body on its own.
Also the dragon gods body landed in the dragon graveyard which was then put into a separate dimension. The gem though was found in the extreme north the same place where Wulin and Yuena went to sleep. Where it was found has no connection with where the dragon clan was killed though.
Another thing to note is that this chapter never emphasis the gem as a scale despite the title. This is clearly means the title is referring to somthing else otherwise Xuanyu or the narrative would have made the distinction and switch from calling it tear/gem and identify it as a scale. The main part of the chapter at the end is the fall of the dragon god and it points out what colour the scales are which also match the title. The chapter title was clearly referencing to the dragon god’s scales which is what Xuanyu used to identify it as the dragon god and not the gem.

DD Manhua has been known for deviating from the novel. Don’t rely on it too much.
Anyways, next chapter confirms scale not scales.
Also, no need to get so worked up when someone counters your theory with another theory. I said “most likely”, not “definitely”. In this case we were both wrong.

DD manhua still has some things that are accurate and match up with the novel.
Plus next chapter confirms the opposite the title wouldn’t be referring to something that was in the next chapter meaning it is likely the tile was meant to refer to the dragon god’s scales. At least that is all that matches the title in this chapter. Otherwise it is just odd to have the title chapter being for somthing that happens in the chapter after, but not actually shown in the current chapter.

In DD3, a lot of the chapter titles barely related to that chapter’s contents. At least that’s something I’ve noticed. Often times the title was explained with the last couple of sentences in the chapter, then it was further expanded upon in the next chapter. It frustrates me how the author likes to do this, but i guess he is a bit twisted like that. It’s just a title though. Since there is no singular or plural tense in Chinese, I guess we’ll never truly know unless we asked the author himself.

The dragon god core though was sent into the 10,000 beast platform to act as its core at the end of DD3 and was sphere shaped. While this gem was found in the extreme north. It would be a bit inconsistency if it was the core. It makes more sense for it to be the Dragon God’s Blessing that Wulin had after all that is currently missing and at the end of DD3 was still on Wulin’s wrist, but is now missing. Unless the author pulls somthing like he did with Nana’s necklace with it being hidden in a pocket dimension.
