War God Long Ao

Although Long Ao was a Dragon Martial Artist himself, he had never met another one.

Because of this, he was eager to see what other Dragon Martial Artists were truly like.

Long Ao was well aware that given the animosity between him and the Third Level Long Family, it was only a matter of time before he would have to face a Dragon Martial Artist in battle.

"Ao'Er, I just heard from Ao Xue that you're heading to the Kyushu Secret Realm. What kind of place is it?"

Long Ao knew his grandfather was worried about him.

"Grandfather, the Kyushu Secret Realm is the Kyushu Cultivation Sacred Land. I've already obtained the key, and with Duan Tianfeng as my puppet, I'm very confident that I can get in and out safely. This is an opportunity to increase my strength, and I refuse to miss it."

Of course, Long Haoshi knew his grandson's personality all too well.

"Ao'Er, just be careful."

"I will, Grandfather."

Not wanting to dwell on the matter, Long Ao changed the subject. "Grandfather, what's the current state of the family's strength?"

"Progress is slow. We're still a long way from meeting your expectations."

Long Ao understood. The family's foundation was simply too weak. It wasn't easy to make a huge leap in strength in such a short period.

After a moment's thought, Long Ao said, "Grandfather, I'm going to accelerate the family's progress."

Curious, Long Haoshi asked, "Ao'Er, what do you have in mind?"

It was common knowledge that a Martial Artist's Cultivation had to be steady and methodical. Rushing things would be counterproductive, like trying to help a seedling grow by pulling on it. 'So, what could Ao'Er possibly mean?'

Long Ao didn't hide anything from his grandfather. "In a little while, I'm going to forcibly infuse Spiritual Power into everyone. This will help them advance rapidly."

Seeing how confident Ao'Er was, Long Haoshi, though incredibly worried, didn't object. He knew in his heart that Ao'Er would never harm their family.

And so, Long Haoshi summoned all the disciples, Long Ying included.

Although Long Ying had received Long Batian's inheritance, advancing quickly was still no easy task. Thus, Long Ao planned to give his older brother a helping hand.

"Big Brother, in a moment, all of you must focus on your core. Do not resist in any way. I will pour a massive amount of Spiritual Power into your bodies. No matter how painful it gets, you must endure it. I can promise you this: anyone who perseveres will advance by two whole Levels."

Hearing this, everyone grew ecstatic.

"Seventh Brother, are you certain this will work?"

"Big Brother, don't worry. All of you, quiet down for now. We will begin shortly."

「Inside the Dragon Seal Space」

"Long Fu, are you ready?"

Long Ao knew that to achieve a group breakthrough, he couldn't do it alone. He needed Long Fu's help, because only the Blood Pool could perform the Refinement of such a vast amount of Spiritual Power.

"Master, if you were to absorb this immense power yourself, it would be a great help in your breakthrough to the Celestial Venerable Realm. Are you sure you want to give it to them?"

Long Ao was well aware of how much this immense power could help him, but for the sake of his family, he was willing to give up the opportunity.

Long Ao knew that his family's overall strength was too weak. They had to grow stronger as quickly as possible. That way, he wouldn't have to constantly worry about their safety.

After killing Su Chen and the others, Long Ao was certain that it wouldn't be long before the Third Level Long Family launched a full-scale attack. It was always better to be safe than sorry. The stronger his family was, the better their chances. That was precisely why Long Ao was prepared to give this power away—to grant his family a greater ability to protect themselves.

Since the matter had been decided, Long Fu said no more.

Long Ao looked at his brothers and sisters before him and said in a grave voice, "After all this time and experience, I can tell you plainly: with your current strength, forget about Kyushu—even in the Celestial State, you'd be at the very bottom. You could be killed at any moment. You must all increase your strength as quickly as possible."

In the past, the others would have scoffed at his words, perhaps even looked down on him for saying them.

But now, the tables had turned completely. Long Ao's status in the Long Family now surpassed even Long Haoshi's. Moreover, his accomplishments while he was away were undeniably impressive. Everyone had to admit that.

Besides, who wouldn't want to increase their strength? Faced with such a golden opportunity, only a complete fool—the biggest fool in the world—would pass it up.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Long Ao immediately communed with the Dragon Seal Space. A moment later, terrifying torrents of Spiritual Power surged forth, enveloping everyone present.

Before Long Ying could even react, he felt a terrifying power enter his body and course through his veins.

"None of you are to resist it! Do your best to achieve Fusion!"

The moment the Spiritual Power entered their bodies, some were in so much pain they nearly passed out. But for the sake of becoming stronger, every single one of them held on.

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

CRASH! With a deafening sound, a deep crater was smashed into the floor.

Long Mowen's expression was as dark as it could be. The fury in his heart erupted like a volcano. He had never imagined that the one Great Venerable and ten Celestial Venerables he had dispatched would be completely wiped out. Not a single one had returned alive.

The ten Celestial Venerables were one thing, but a Great Venerable was an incredibly important figure, even among the Four Great Forces. It was a loss the Third Level Long Family could ill afford.

"Patriarch, according to the rumors, the Dragon Sect possesses a powerful Array that trapped Elder Su Chen and the other ten. In the end, they triggered the Thunder Tribulation Power of Heaven and Earth and were struck dead."

'An Array? Triggering the Thunder Tribulation of Heaven and Earth?'

Long Mowen was startled. Finding it hard to believe, he asked, "Is this information reliable?"

"Patriarch, this story is likely a gross exaggeration. I believe the Dragon Sect has an Array, but I absolutely do not believe they can trigger the Thunder Tribulation of Heaven and Earth."

Long Mowen nodded, naturally finding it unbelievable. "Though the tale may be exaggerated," he said grimly, "the fact that the Dragon Sect managed to kill Su Chen is undeniable. It seems that Long Ao has some real ability. I miscalculated."

'Miscalculated?'

Long Yan knew in his heart that the Patriarch wasn't to blame. After all, who could have imagined that a mere nobody like Long Ao and his Dragon Sect could actually slay a Great Venerable and ten Celestial Venerables? If it hadn't actually happened, he would never have believed it was possible.

But it had happened. Long Yan asked, "Patriarch, what should we do now?"

After a moment of thought, Long Mowen's expression turned cold. He said fiercely, "I refuse to believe Long Ao is that formidable. Long Yan, go and bring Long Chen to me."

'Long Chen?'

Long Yan was startled to hear that the family intended to summon Long Chen. He knew exactly what that name represented.

"Patriarch, must we really use Long Chen's power? If anything were to go wrong, the loss would be unbearable. I beg the Patriarch to reconsider."
