War God Long Ao

Long Ao knew that his feud with the Third Level Long Family had now become a fight to the death. Otherwise, they wouldn't have joined the other three great families to issue a kill order for him.

"Long Ao, what's the matter?"

Nodding, Long Ao didn't hide a single detail about the feud between himself and the Third Level Long Family, giving a rough summary of the situation.

"So you're saying that once the Third Level Long Family finds out you've returned to the Dragon Sect, they'll launch a full-scale attack?"

Ao Tian was no fool. He certainly knew the consequences if the Third Level Long Family and the Imperial City were to join forces. Besides, Long Ao had just made it very clear that his feud with the Third Level Long Family had reached an irreconcilable point.

If the Third Level Long Family was determined to strike, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Celestial Venerables were only mid-tier among the Four Great Forces. Above them were Great Venerables, Realm Kings, and Realm Emperors. What if the Third Level Long Family sent a Great Venerable?

Long Ao and Ao Tian discussed the matter for an entire night, and no one knew the outcome. The fact that Long Ao had managed to kill a Celestial Venerable this time was a silver lining. He was well aware that his most urgent task now was to break through to Supreme Venerable and reach the Earth Venerable Realm as soon as possible. That way, he wouldn't have so much trouble the next time he encountered a Celestial Venerable.

Void Venerable, Void Earth Venerable, and Void Celestial Venerable—all three of these realms possessed a Golden Core.

Venerable Golden Core, Earth Venerable Golden Core, and Celestial Venerable Golden Core. The only difference between them was that the higher the realm, the more powerful and condensed the Golden Core became.

「Inside the Dragon Seal Space.」

"Long Fu, I need power."

"Master, your recent epiphany will be very helpful for advancing your realm. I was just thinking, for breaking through from Venerable to Supreme Venerable, and then to Celestial Venerable, as long as you continuously absorb power, I believe the Desolate Sacred Body will automatically upgrade. Your breakthroughs will be effortless then."

The Desolate Sacred Body.

Although the Desolate Sacred Body was difficult to cultivate, one had to admit that it was incredibly powerful.

Especially when it came to bottlenecks. As long as there was sufficient power, there were almost no obstacles, allowing for direct advancement.

Long Ao understood Long Fu's meaning perfectly. For the Golden Cores possessed by Void Venerables, Void Earth Venerables, and Void Celestial Venerables, as long as he continuously stabilized and strengthened them, breaking through would naturally be effortless.

"Master, I have finished the Refinement of the Celestial Venerable you just killed. Judging by the sheer amount of power, I believe that once you absorb it, breaking through to the Earth Venerable Realm shouldn't be difficult."

Joy surged in Long Ao's heart. What he needed most right now was power. Even breaking through to Basic Level Earth Venerable would be a world-changing transformation.

The Eight Realms of Void.

The Void Hundred Tribulations Realm, the Venerable Void Realm, the Void Venerable Realm, the Void Earth Venerable Realm, the Void Celestial Venerable Realm, the Void Realm King Realm, and the Void Realm Emperor Realm—these were the Eight Realms of Void.

Next, Long Ao wasted no time. He began absorbing the power from the Refinement of Ye Kai's soul. Just as Long Fu had said, with his Desolate Sacred Body, there were practically no bottlenecks to speak of. With ease, he broke through directly from Peak Venerable to Basic Level Earth Venerable.

In just a few short days, his Cultivation had broken through from Venerable to Supreme Venerable, and then again to Earth Venerable. Such a breakthrough speed was simply monstrous—outrageously so. If word of this got out, one could only imagine the consequences.

Long Ao himself was pleasantly surprised. He had never imagined that in just a few short days, his Cultivation would break through in rapid succession, allowing him to reach the rank of Middle Level Earth Venerable.

Long Ao was filled with confidence. 'With my current strength, if I had to face Ye Kai now, I wouldn't even need to use a Soul Attack. Just unleashing my Heaven and Earth's Momentum—the technique known as Heaven and Earth Mourn Together—would be enough to obliterate him.'

Middle Level Earth Venerable.

To say he wasn't excited would be a lie.

「Kyushu Spirit Realm. Third Level Long Family, Main Hall.」

"Sect Leader, I failed to find Long Ao's family, but I did get some news—news about Long Ao."

'He couldn't find them?'

His expression instantly turned cold, but Long Mowen restrained his anger. In a deep voice, he asked, "What news?"

"Sect Leader, before I returned, I received a report that Long Ao has gone back to the Dragon Sect. The Imperial City sent three hundred Innate Martial Artists and a Law Enforcement Celestial Venerable to attack the Dragon Sect."

"And the result?" Long Mowen seemed impatient. After all, if Long Ao were dead, it would be a huge benefit for the Third Level Long Family.

"Sect Leader, the Imperial City's forces were completely annihilated. Even the Law Enforcement Celestial Venerable didn't escape. It seems the Dragon Sect's strength is not so simple."

Hearing this, Long Mowen's expression grew even grimmer. He said coldly, "Elder, dispatch ten Law Enforcement Celestial Venerables and one Great Venerable for me. I'd like to see for myself just how formidable this Dragon Sect really is."

Long Yan was startled by his words. Ten Law Enforcement Celestial Venerables were one thing, but he knew exactly what a Great Venerable Martial Artist represented. After all, Great Venerables were extremely important figures, even to the Four Great Forces.

"Sect Leader."

Seeming to know what Long Yan was about to say, Long Mowen waved his hand dismissively. "Long Ao must die. Go and bring me Xiaosu."

Long Yan sighed deeply. 'I know the Sect Leader's personality all too well. Once he's made a decision, it's nearly impossible to change his mind.'

Not long after Long Yan left, he returned with a burly man. Every one of the man's movements exuded formidable power. His aura alone was far beyond anything Ye Kai could compare to.

The Eight Realms of Void.

The burly man was a Foreign Elder of the Third Level Long Family. Although his surname wasn't Long, his status within the family was extremely high. Even the Sect Leader and other Elders treated Su Chen very well.

"Sect Leader, you were looking for me?"

Nodding, Long Mowen's expression softened slightly. "I want you to leave at once. Take ten Law Enforcement Celestial Venerables to the Celestial State in the Ordinary Spirit Realm and find Long Ao of the Dragon Sect. Remember, no matter what happens, you are to bring me back his head."

"Sect Leader, for a mere Long Ao, do I really need to take so many Law Enforcement Celestial Venerables?"

"The incident with the Imperial City is a cautionary tale. You must not be careless," Long Yan said, his face grave with worry. For some reason, he always felt something was off about Long Ao, though he couldn't put his finger on what it was. If something happened to Su Chen this time, the Long Family would suffer a catastrophic loss.

Su Chen was dismissive. "Elder, you're worrying too much. I refuse to believe a puny little Long Ao can make any waves. I will set out immediately. In half a month, I will return with his corpse. Sect Leader, Elder, you can rest assured."

Long Yan seemed to want to say more, but Long Mowen stopped him, smiling as he said, "Very good. As long as you can kill Long Ao, I will let you experience a Domain to help you break through to the Realm King Realm."

Hearing this, Su Chen was instantly overjoyed. He immediately offered his thanks, then turned and left, seemingly unable to wait. After all, the Realm King was a realm he had longed for in his dreams.
