War God Long Ao

Void Venerable.

And a Void Peak Venerable, at that.

Long Ao re-consolidated the Spiritual Essence throughout his body, only then truly reaching the level of a Void Peak Venerable.

Sure enough.

After his Cultivation smoothly broke through to the Void Peak Venerable Realm, Long Ao could finally sense the difference between a Void Venerable and a Void Supreme Venerable. It was a fundamental difference. Long Ao had a feeling that if he encountered a Supreme Venerable now, he could kill them in an instant, without needing any assistance whatsoever.

This was the powerful confidence of a Void Peak Venerable.

But Long Ao was not complacent. He knew that a Void Venerable was nothing in the Void Realm. Above that level were the Void Celestial Venerable, Void Great Venerable, Void Realm King, and Void Realm Emperor. And beyond the Void Realm, there were even more powerful existences.

The road ahead was still very, very long.

'As a Void Peak Venerable, if I were to encounter a Celestial Venerable, I'm confident that with Long Qiang's help, fighting one wouldn't be too difficult.'

Because of this, Long Ao was impatient to fight a Celestial Venerable and test just how far his own strength had reached.

「Three days later.」

It was unknown what method Ghost King Ao Tian had used, but the Imperial City's three-hundred-strong Innate Army had arrived at the Dragon Sect once more. This time, their strongest expert was the Imperial City's Law Enforcement Celestial Venerable, Ye Kai.

Standing before the Dragon Sect, Ye Kai's face was filled with scorn and contempt. 'No matter how much Long Ao struggles, he's still just a Venerable,' he thought. 'Even if he can instantly kill a Supreme Venerable, a Venerable is forever a Venerable.'

'To a Celestial Venerable, a Venerable or even a Supreme Venerable is less than a fart.'

"Kill them all. Leave no one alive."

At Ye Kai's command, the three hundred Innate Martial Artists all surged forward, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Immediately after, sounds of anger, curses, and even terror rang out.

'What's happening?'

Hearing the miserable screams, Ye Kai was startled. He had no idea what was going on.

Within the Dragon Sect, among the interlocking giant peaks, the three hundred Innate Martial Artists were indeed powerful. But to the current Dragon Sect, they were nothing. Long Ao didn't even use the Heaven and Earth Array, simply summoning his Soul Slaves to annihilate them. The Venerable Soul Slaves and Supreme Venerable Soul Slaves were slaughtering these Innate Martial Artists.

Long Ao had refined the souls of Innate Martial Artists, Transformed Martial Artists, and even Venerables and Supreme Venerables into Soul Slaves or Corpse Slaves. He stationed the Corpse Slaves within the Sect. As for the Soul Slaves, Long Ao found them exceptionally useful for dealing with group battles like this.

The three hundred Innate Martial Artists were slaughtered by the Supreme Venerable Soul Slaves and Venerable Soul Slaves, their miserable screams echoing throughout the mountain peaks.

When Ye Kai arrived, the ground was covered in bodies. To say it was a field of corpses would not be an exaggeration.

"Long Ao, get your ass out here!"

"And who might you be?"

"Ye Kai, Law Enforcement Celestial Venerable of the Imperial City."

Imperial City Law Enforcement Celestial Venerable... Long Ao's figure suddenly appeared. He gave the large man opposite him a cold look, shook his head, and said coolly, "The Imperial City only sends out cannon fodder. What a pity."

Being looked down upon so profoundly, Ye Kai suddenly sneered and said mockingly, "Long Ao, don't be so arrogant. I'll give you one chance. Commit suicide right here. Or... I could spare your worthless life, if you just cut off your own arms and legs."

"You talk way too much."

"You fucking..."

Before Ye Kai could finish, Long Ao cut him off with a curse, "Fuck your sister! Fuck your ancestors! To think that just because you're some Law Enforcement Celestial Venerable from the Imperial City, you can be this shameless. I'm actually impressed."

Still not giving Ye Kai any chance to speak, Long Ao continued, "I am now formally challenging you. Do you dare to accept?"

'Challenge me?'

'He actually wants to challenge me?'

Hearing this, Ye Kai suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh filled with contempt and ridicule, as if he had just heard the most ridiculous thing in the world. 'A Venerable wants to challenge a Celestial Venerable? Is that even possible?'

"Long Ao, I have to admit, you are truly arrogant. But a man must know his own limits. You are just a lowly Venerable, yet you want to challenge me? I'd really like to ask, are you even qualified?"

"Whether I'm qualified isn't for you to decide. The way you're talking... are you scared? Afraid to accept?"

"Hahaha, me, afraid to accept? Fine, Long Ao. I now formally accept your challenge. If I can't beat you within ten moves, I'll call you Grandpa."

"Call me what?"

"Call you Grandpa."

"Call me what."

Ye Kai was now thoroughly enraged and cursed, "Damn it! I said, if I can't beat you in ten moves, I will call you Grandpa!"

"Good boy. You called me Grandpa three times. Not bad, not bad."

Realizing he'd been tricked, Ye Kai's face turned furious. Without any more nonsense, he shot forward like an arrow. However, he didn't choose to clash head-on, but instead flew directly into the air, granting him an unbeatable advantage.

The greatest difference between a Celestial Venerable and the realms below it is the ability to fly for short periods. Imagine it: one person in the air, one on the ground. Once a fight breaks out, a Venerable would be instantly killed by a Celestial Venerable.

But Ye Kai had encountered Long Ao, a monstrous talent who paid Celestial Venerables no mind.

The moment the fight began, Long Ao played his trump card: the one and only Long Qiang. A black Giant Dragon appeared—it was Long Qiang.

Together, man and dragon were unstoppable.

Seeing the black Giant Dragon his opponent had suddenly summoned, Ye Kai's expression changed drastically. He had never imagined that Long Ao would actually be a so-called Dragon Martial Artist. He had always thought the rumors about Long Ao being a Dragon Martial Artist were just that—rumors.

The Long Clan is divided into nine Levels: the First Level Long Family, Second Level Long Family, Third Level Long Family, Fourth Level Long Family, Fifth Level Long Family, Sixth Level Long Family, Seventh Level Long Family, Eighth Level Long Family, and Ninth Level Long Family.

The Long Clan has a clear rule: no matter who it is, only a Long Family of the Third Level and above can produce a Dragon Martial Artist. If a Long Family below the Third Level produces a Dragon Martial Artist, they will undoubtedly be sanctioned by the Long Clan.

This was precisely why Ye Kai couldn't understand why the Long Clan was turning a blind eye to Long Ao being a Dragon Martial Artist.

Long Qiang's body was a full eight meters long. With Long Ao standing on Long Qiang's back, Ye Kai's aerial advantage vanished. But no matter what, a Venerable was still a Venerable. It was impossible for one to contend with a Celestial Venerable. This was a gap in their Realms that simply couldn't be bridged by anything else.

And so, the two sides clashed in an instant. The man and dragon fought as one, their Dragon's Roar shaking Heaven and Earth. Long Ao immediately unleashed his most ferocious attacks, each move ruthless and deadly, for he wanted to end the battle quickly.

After his Cultivation broke through to the Void Venerable Realm, Long Ao's strength had taken a great leap forward. This was why he was attacking with his full power. The greatest difference between a Celestial Venerable and a Venerable was the ability to fly. After all, even a Celestial Venerable had a Golden Core in their body. The difference was that a Venerable possessed a Venerable Golden Core, while a Celestial Venerable possessed a Celestial Venerable Golden Core.
