War God Long Ao

The Four Great Forces jointly issuing a kill order made everyone extremely curious about Long Ao.

Because of this, Long Ao's identity was completely dug up in just one day.

Long Ao, a disciple of the Ninth Level Long Family from Red Fire Town, was hailed as the town's number one genius. He was exceptionally talented, but for some unknown reason, he suddenly failed while trying to break through to the Inner Strength Seventh Heaven. He fell from a genius to a piece of trash.

For ten years, Long Ao endured endless humiliation and ridicule, but he still persevered.

After a full ten years, he had some kind of fortuitous encounter. Long Ao made a powerful comeback, and in just a few short months, his fame spread from Red Fire Town across all of Kyushu. He even established his own force, the Dragon Sect.

The Dragon Sect.

Everyone knew the force Long Ao established was called the Dragon Sect, and they all thought Long Ao was deliberately provoking the Long Family.

The Long Clan was the most powerful existence on the Celestial Martial Continent. For countless years, no other force had ever dared to use "Dragon" in its name.

Many people had high hopes for Long Ao. After all, he was shrouded in mystery and had a history of successful comebacks. If he managed to turn the tables and succeed this time as well, it would absolutely shake the continent.

But hopes were just hopes. Everyone knew very well what an alliance between the Four Great Forces meant.

The Four Great Forces of the Kyushu Spirit Realm—the Imperial City in the east, the Third Level Long Family in the west, the Netherworld Mansion in the south, and Piaomiao Palace in the north—had joined forces to issue the kill order. In an instant, all Arrays were shut down.

This time, if the Third Level Long Family had issued the kill order for any other reason, the other three great forces would never have agreed. It would have been generous enough for them not to cause trouble, so how could they possibly join forces with the Third Level Long Family to issue a kill order?

But the current situation was completely different.

The Third Level Long Family had invoked the name of the entire Long Clan, claiming that Long Ao was provoking the whole clan. The other three great forces might be able to ignore the Third Level Long Family, but would they dare to ignore the Long Clan?

The Imperial City, Netherworld Mansion, and Piaomiao Palace would not dare to offend the Long Clan. For this very reason, the three forces issued the kill order directly, without a moment's hesitation.

「In the blink of an eye, three days passed.」

The Four Great Forces had issued the kill order together, expecting to handle the matter in a few hours. But three days had gone by, and there was still no sign of Long Ao. This left the four forces feeling utterly frustrated and even wary, wondering just where on earth Long Ao could be hiding.

「Third Level Long Family, Main Hall.」

"Elder, has there been any sign of Long Ao's whereabouts?"

"No, Sect Leader. We joined with the other three great forces to issue the kill order, and all the Arrays are closed. Long Ao can't possibly have left the Kyushu Spirit Realm. Therefore, I can say with certainty that he is still within the Kyushu Spirit Realm, just hiding for the time being."

Nodding, Long Mowen knew, of course, that Long Ao couldn't have left the Kyushu Spirit Realm. The Four Great Forces had joined together to issue the kill order and had sealed all the Arrays. Unless Long Ao could fly, it was impossible for him to leave the Kyushu Spirit Realm.

"Elder, dispatch all of our Law Enforcement Celestial Venerables. And coordinate with the Law Enforcement Celestial Venerables of the other three great forces. I refuse to believe we can't find this person."

"Sect Leader, will the other three great forces be willing?"

"Don't worry. As long as the Long Clan is applying pressure, the three forces won't dare to go against the Long Clan's decision."

Long Yan nodded and departed immediately. Within the next hour, all Four Great Forces mobilized. All the Law Enforcement Celestial Venerables were split into four groups to conduct a grid search from the four cardinal directions: east, south, west, and north.

The Law Enforcement Celestial Venerables were the most terrifying existences within the Four Great Forces.

The Four Great Forces controlled the Kyushu Spirit Realm, so it was inevitable that disobedient forces or individuals would appear. For this very reason, each of the Four Great Forces had formed its own Law Enforcement Team, which was composed entirely of Celestial Venerables.

Each force's Law Enforcement Team was composed of twenty Celestial Venerables. In other words, adding up all the Law Enforcement Celestial Venerables from the Four Great Forces, there was a total of eighty. What did that even mean?

In other words, the combined Law Enforcement Celestial Venerables of the Four Great Forces amounted to eighty genuine Void Celestial Venerables.

With such a powerful force mobilized just to find one person, everyone's anticipation grew. Three days had already passed with no trace of Long Ao; otherwise, the Four Great Forces would not have deployed all of their Law Enforcement Celestial Venerables.

Regardless of Long Ao's past, this point alone was enough to earn people's admiration.

「Time ticked by, and seven days passed quietly.」

After seven days of failing to find Long Ao, the other three great forces had already chosen to give up. According to their speculation, Long Ao had already left the Kyushu Spirit Realm, so continuing the search would be futile.

The three great forces gave up, but the Third Level Long Family did not. They continued to search tirelessly for Long Ao, practically turning the entire Kyushu Spirit Realm upside down, yet they still found nothing.

'Could Long Ao have really left the Kyushu Spirit Realm?'

Of course, Long Ao had not left. He was out training, hoping his Cultivation could soon break through to the Supreme Venerable Realm.

The greatest difference between a Void Venerable and a Void Supreme Venerable is the Venerable Golden Core.

It was very simple. For a Void Venerable to break through to become a Void Supreme Venerable, they first had to condense all the Spiritual Essence in their body to form a Golden Core. It sounded simple, but in reality, it was incredibly difficult. Countless people were stuck at this stage, some even unable to advance to the Supreme Venerable level in their entire lifetime.

The only thing Long Ao had to do now was condense the Spiritual Essence in his body and form a Golden Core.

「Eastern region of the Kyushu Spirit Realm.」

This was the largest Spirit Beast Mountain Range. Different Spirit Realms gave rise to Spirit Beasts of varying strengths. After entering the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, Long Ao would casually encounter Transformation Spirit Beasts and could even run into Void Spirit Beasts. All of them were incredibly powerful, and on several occasions, Long Ao was nearly killed.

Towering ancient trees blotted out the sky and sun.

The entire Spirit Beast Mountain Range was primeval in nature. Long Ao sat cross-legged, quietly absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, trying to forcibly condense the Spiritual Essence in his body and prepare for Core Formation.

This step seemed very simple, but it was incredibly difficult in practice. Unbeknownst to him, a full month had already passed since he entered the Spirit Beast Mountain Range.

After a month of trying to condense his Spiritual Essence without success, Long Ao didn't know when he would be able to successfully form his Golden Core and break through to become a Void Supreme Venerable.

「Atop a canyon.」

He looked down at the fog below, which stretched out as far as the eye could see. For some reason, ever since he arrived, Long Qiang had been insistently calling to him, wanting to go down and take a look.

'If I were a Celestial Venerable, it would be one thing,' he thought. 'But unfortunately, I'm only a Venerable and can't walk on air yet. If I jump, it's a one-way trip to my death.'

There was no other way. Long Ao knew that since Long Qiang was adamant about going down, he had to go, even if it meant death.

Just then, Long Qiang's enormous body appeared. Long Ao gave a resigned smile, leaped onto Long Qiang's back, and patted his head. Immediately after, man and dragon shot down toward the bottom of the canyon. This was the first time Long Ao had ever ridden Long Qiang, and the feeling was quite unique, like riding the clouds and mist.
