War God Long Ao

Everyone stared in shock as they watched the two Giant Dragons battle in the Nine Heavens.

A battle between Dragon Martial Artists was a once-in-a-century sight.

The Golden Giant Dragon and Long Qiang were already locked in combat. With both Giant Dragons at the same Level, Long Qiang immediately gained the upper hand.

Long Ao and Long Chen wasted no more time. Their bodies blurred into motion, and in the blink of an eye, they were clashing. Trading punches and kicks, their exchange seemed ordinary, but it was fraught with peril.

With his Nether Tiger Arm smashing down and his Desolate Tyrant Body active, Long Ao completely ignored the force of Long Chen's blows. After just the first wave of close-quarters attacks, lasting a little over ten exchanges, Long Chen was already unable to hold on.

The Purple Dragon Sword appeared, resembling a purple dragon as it struck as fast as lightning.

Startled, Long Ao didn't dare to be the least bit careless. The Blood-Drinking Mad Saber appeared in his hands, and he viciously swung it in a downward slash.

The saber and sword collided, sending Sword Aura and Blade Aura flying in all directions. The spectators all retreated in shock. The weaker Martial Artists were instantly obliterated by the force of the collision. Seeing this, everyone pulled back even farther.

They all wanted to watch the fight up close, but no matter what, their lives were more important.

Both Long Ao and Long Chen were at the Peak of Earth Venerable. With their Realms being equal, Long Ao feared no one. However, in his heart, he still admired Long Chen. 'Regardless of what kind of person he is, his martial spirit alone is worthy of respect.'

'Suppressing his own Realm just for a fair fight... How many people could actually do that?'

He unleashed the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques one after another: the first technique, Netherworld Nine-Link Strike; the second, Ice-Sealed Heart Devourer; the third, Sea of Blazing Flames; the fourth, World-Ending Blade Aura; and the fifth, Ten Thousand Bones Soul Devourer.

Seizing the opportunity, Long Ao immediately followed up with the sixth technique of the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques, one he had just successfully cultivated: Meteor Burst Shattering.

The Blade Aura let out a terrifying shriek as it brutally slashed toward Long Chen.

Grabbing the opening, Long Ao dashed forward, appearing at Long Chen's left side at his top speed, and silently activated the Destruction Seal Technique.

But to Long Ao's surprise, the Destruction Seal Technique couldn't penetrate his opponent's body, let alone corrode his soul.

However, Long Ao wasn't discouraged. 'If the Destruction Seal Technique won't work, then I'll use the God-Locking Pearl and the Godslaying Mirror.'

The God-Locking Pearl and Godslaying Mirror emerged simultaneously, their two auras instantly enveloping Long Chen. Before he could even react, he found his body locked in place. Even more incredibly, he discovered that the flow of Time around him was actually changing.

'What in the world is happening?'

Long Chen didn't dare to be careless. Only now did he finally cast aside his contempt and prepare to use his full power to break the lock.

But it was too late. Long Ao was already in front of him. The Nether Tiger Arm smashed out silently, landing squarely on Long Chen's left shoulder.

With a muffled grunt, Long Chen retreated hastily, his face a mask of astonishment.

Long Ao did not press his advantage. He stopped and said with a cold smile, "We can go again, if you'd like."

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Long Chen knew he had already lost. At the same Level, Long Ao was completely invincible. Unless he could raise his own Realm, defeating his opponent would be nearly impossible.

"Long Ao, I have to admit, you're truly formidable. If you can withstand this next move of mine, then you win."

Hearing this, Long Ao immediately became vigilant.

"Ninth Transformation Golden Technique."

The Ninth Transformation Golden Technique was a Super Martial Skill that Long Chen had obtained from the Golden Giant Dragon when they formed their contract. The technique could continuously strengthen Long Chen's physical body. After all Ninth Transformations, his physical Defense Power would be unimaginable.

However, with Long Chen's current strength, he could only achieve the Fourth Transformation, but even that was terrifyingly powerful.

Long Ao was startled, but he had great confidence in his own Desolate Tyrant Body. The two immediately began trading blows again, neither dodging, simply enduring the other's Fist Force head-on.

Watching their ferocious exchange, everyone was stunned. They had to admit, both fighters' Defense Power was monstrous. Anyone else would have likely been smashed to death by a single punch.

Long Chen had originally thought that using the Ninth Transformation Golden Technique would guarantee his victory. But as they continued to clash, he was shocked to discover that his opponent's physical Defense Power was even greater than his own.

Although the Nether Tiger Arm was no match for the Divine Dragon Arm, it was still nothing to scoff at. If Long Chen had been able to reach the Sixth Transformation, he might have been able to withstand the Nether Tiger Arm's onslaught. But as it stood...

「High in the Nine Heavens.」

The battle between the Golden Giant Dragon and Long Qiang was also nearing its end. Dragon's Roars echoed one after another, thundering between Heaven and Earth.

With the Golden Giant Dragon having limited its Realm, Long Qiang seized the opportunity and began to pummel it relentlessly. Long Qiang wasn't like Long Ao; he was far more savage. He couldn't care less if his opponent had restricted its Realm—'I've got you now, and I'm going to beat you to death, you son of a bitch!'

And so, under Long Qiang's ferocious storm of smashes and kicks, the Golden Giant Dragon gradually gave way. It was slammed from the Nine Heavens down to the ground, but Long Qiang still refused to let it go.

A Dragon's Roar shook Heaven and Earth.

Long Qiang brutally kicked the Golden Giant Dragon. If this continued, it was only a matter of time before the Golden Giant Dragon was beaten to death. This was an outcome no one could have possibly predicted.

Everyone swallowed hard. The black Giant Dragon was too domineering. It was true what they said: like master, like companion. Long Ao was already overbearing enough, but they never expected his Dragon Companion to be even more so.

"Long Ao, stop. I've lost."

Long Chen sighed deeply and forced Long Ao back with a punch. Though a million voices in his heart refused to accept it, he knew the truth. Unless he restored his Peak Realm, he was no match for Long Ao at the same Level. Not just him—even his companion, the Golden Giant Dragon, was no match for its opponent.

'Since it's come to this, if I don't concede, my companion will be beaten to death. In the end, I'd still have to admit defeat anyway.'

'So why draw it out?'

He lost?

Long Chen lost?

Seeing Long Chen and the Golden Giant Dragon admit defeat, the crowd erupted in cheers. Long Ao had once again defied expectations and successfully defeated Long Chen. What did this mean?

One had to remember, Long Chen was ranked 100th on the Dragon Ranking. By defeating him, Long Ao would directly take his place, entering the Dragon Ranking at the 100th spot. With this, Long Ao's rise could be described as meteoric.

Long Mowen nearly stumbled. Long Chen's defeat was too great a blow for him to handle. He simply couldn't believe that Long Chen would lose to Long Ao. Did this mean that the Long Family no longer had a single person—not even Long Chen—on the Dragon Ranking?
