War God Long Ao

"Long Fu, what's going on?"

Long Ao was very surprised. Ever since obtaining the Dragon Seal Space, he had rarely seen Long Fu look so grave. 'Is there something wrong with the Kyushu Secret Realm?'

"Master, I've scanned the area carefully. This place indeed has the aura of a Great Emperor, and a Sealed Titled Emperor at that. If I'm not mistaken, this is the tomb of a Great Emperor."

A Great Emperor?

A Sealed Titled Emperor?

Long Ao had no idea what Long Fu was talking about. 'Are Great Emperors and these so-called Sealed Titled Emperors beings that stand above the Void Realm?'

"Long Fu, what are the Ten Realms of the Great Emperor?"

"Master, the so-called Ten Realms of the Great Emperor are the ten levels: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, Black, White, and Golden."

Long Ao didn't speak, just listened quietly.

"You were right just now, Master. The Ten Realms of the Great Emperor are indeed above the Void Realm. They are, respectively, the Red Level Emperor, Orange Level Emperor, Yellow Level Emperor, Green Level Emperor, Cyan Level Emperor, Blue Level Emperor, Purple Level Emperor, Black Level Emperor, White Level Emperor, and Golden Level Emperor."

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, Black, White, and Golden—the Ten Realms of the Great Emperor.

"Above the Ten Realms of the Great Emperor, one can be granted a title and become a Sealed Titled Emperor, like the Evil Demon Emperor, for example."

The Evil Demon Emperor?

His heart skipped a beat. Long Ao asked impatiently, "Long Fu, are you saying the Evil Demon is a Sealed Titled Great Emperor Martial Artist?"

Seeing Long Fu nod, Long Ao finally understood the Evil Demon's true strength. A Sealed Titled Emperor... The Evil Demon was an invincible Sealed Titled Emperor, the Evil Demon Emperor. 'If that's the case, doesn't that mean the Fire Qilin is also in the Great Emperor Realm?'

As if guessing what Long Ao was about to ask, Long Fu nodded and said, "Master, you've guessed correctly. The Fire Qilin is no different from the Evil Demon; they are both in the Sealed Titled Emperor Realm."

Just as he had thought. Long Ao could now fully imagine just how terrifying the power of the Fire Qilin and the Evil Demon truly was.

"Master, the Eight Realms of Void are just the first step onto the path of Martial Arts. Above that is the Eighth Realm of Void Saint, and above the Eighth Realm of Void Saint are the so-called Ten Realms of the Great Emperor. So, you still have a very long way to go."

Hearing Long Fu's words, Long Ao was stunned. His eyes narrowed, finding it all somewhat hard to believe.

'So, above the Void Realm, there's the Eighth Realm of Void Saint, and above that, the Ten Realms of the Great Emperor... If that's true, then the strength I have now is really nothing. Just like Long Fu said, I've only just stepped onto the path of Martial Arts.'

Long Ao also never would have imagined that the Kyushu Secret Realm was actually the tomb of a Sealed Titled Emperor. 'No wonder the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here is so abundant. It must have been an arrangement left behind by that Sealed Titled Emperor.'

'In any case, this is still the tomb of a Sealed Titled Emperor. Since I'm here, maybe I can find some unexpected treasures.'

"Long Fu, can you sense where the Great Emperor's tomb is located?"

Shaking his head, Long Fu said, "I can't sense it yet. You'll have to give me a few more days."

"No problem."

Long Ao left the Dragon Seal Space, his heart heavy. He never would have imagined that above the Void Realm existed the Eighth Realm of Void Saint, the Ten Realms of the Great Emperor, and even Sealed Titled Emperors.

'I always thought that even if there were more powerful existences above the Void Realm, there wouldn't be many. It seems I've just been a frog in a well this whole time.'

'The Ten Realms of the Great Emperor: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, Black, White, and Golden Level Emperors. And finally, the Sealed Titled Emperors.'

'If I could obtain the inheritance of a Sealed Titled Emperor, wouldn't that be incredible?'

While Long Fu was sensing for the tomb, Long Ao didn't pass up the rare opportunity. He immediately sat down cross-legged and quietly began to cultivate.

Ten times the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi—what an amazing opportunity! With Long Fu's help, Long Ao crazily absorbed the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi at ten times his usual speed. What kind of concept was that?

Long Ao knew that if he kept absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, he could break through to the Celestial Venerable Realm within a month.

Because of this, Long Ao didn't waste any time, not even a single second.

「Seven days later.」

"Master, I have sensed where the Great Emperor's tomb is. But I must remind you, the tomb is fraught with danger; a single misstep could be perilous. However, threat and opportunity coexist. This Great Emperor was somewhat different, and there seem to be some good things inside the tomb. If you can obtain them, Master, it would be of great help to you."

Opportunity and danger coexisted.

"You're right, Long Fu. I'm sure you know my personality best. No matter what dangers lie in the Great Emperor's tomb, I have to go and see for myself."

Of course, Long Fu knew his master's personality. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned the Great Emperor's tomb at all.

The Kyushu Secret Realm was indeed the tomb of a Sealed Titled Emperor, and this Great Emperor was no simple character. Over the long years, many people had entered the Kyushu Secret Realm, but not one had ever discovered the Great Emperor's tomb. If it weren't for Long Fu's help, would it have been possible for Long Ao to find it?

Long Ao, of course, knew this.

For that very reason, Long Ao stopped his cultivation and followed Long Fu's guidance toward the deepest part of the Kyushu Secret Realm. After about an hour, he arrived in a small valley, a sort of Valley-in-the-Valley.

The moment he stepped into the valley, Long Ao's expression grew heavy. He didn't need Long Fu to say another word; he already knew that this valley was certainly the location of the Great Emperor's tomb.

"Long Fu, how do I enter the Great Emperor's tomb?"

"Master, you must be extremely careful. I've just scanned it. There is a path you must take to enter this Great Emperor's tomb, and it is exceedingly dangerous. A single misstep could lead to a point of no return. To be safe, you'd best let Long Ming lead the way."

Long Ming?

He didn't know what Long Fu meant, but since Long Fu had said so, Long Ao naturally didn't doubt him. He summoned Long Ming from the Dragon Seal Space and, following Long Fu's directions, arrived at the deepest part of the valley. There, a strange pattern was carved onto a massive stone wall.

Below the pattern was a line of small characters: "Tomb of the Heaven-Burning Emperor. The Fated may enter."

His heart leaped with joy. It was just as he thought—the tomb of the Sealed Titled Emperor was really here. Without a moment's hesitation, Long Ao followed Long Fu's instructions to open the Stone Gate and darted inside in a single bound.

It was pitch-black, so dark he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.

'The Heaven-Burning Emperor?'

Long Ao finally knew the name of the Great Emperor of the Kyushu Secret Realm. His title was Heaven-Burning. Setting aside the Sealed Titled Emperor's actual strength, the title alone was domineering enough.

As Long Ao entered the passage, he didn't dare to be the least bit careless. He proceeded step by cautious step, on maximum alert, because as Long Fu had said, the Great Emperor's tomb was filled with danger.
