War God Long Ao

As one of the most terrifying forces in existence, it was a trivial matter for the Long Clan to deal with a single person.

The Four Great Emperors knew very well that if Long Ao’s talent and potential were truly recognized by the Long Clan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

There was a high probability that the Long Clan would groom him as a key figure.

It was always best to prepare for the worst. If, by some stroke of luck, Long Ao managed to join the Long Clan, then even if the Five Great Emperors joined forces, only death would await them.

At this thought, the expressions of the Four Great Emperors turned vicious. Zhou Chen said with a sinister chill, "No matter what, we must kill Long Ao. We have to cut the weeds and pull out the roots to eliminate this problem for good."

Cut the weeds and pull out the roots. The other three Emperors all nodded in agreement.

The only one who didn’t voice her opinion was Nameless. She was incredibly worried. ’The Four Great Emperors have already made their decision. I can’t possibly object, or they’ll definitely realize something is wrong.’

「Deepest part of the Dark Forest.」

Long Ao sent Long Qiang into the Dragon Seal Space. Forcibly suppressing the waves of weakness coursing through his body, he immediately found a secluded spot to begin recuperating.

Long Ao didn’t dare lower his guard. He knew with perfect clarity that if he hadn’t summoned Long Qiang, there was a fifty percent chance the Five Great Emperors might not have continued to hunt him. But now, with both Long Qiang and his own identity as a Dragon Martial Artist exposed, he was certain the Five Great Emperors would not let the matter rest.

The power of the Long Clan was not something the Five Great Emperors could contend with.

To eliminate future trouble, he believed the Four Great Emperors would surely try to cut the weeds and pull out the roots.

「One day later.」

「Inside the Dragon Seal Space.」

"Master, with your current strength, you have no power to resist at all, whether you encounter a Realm King or a Realm Emperor."

Long Ao nodded. He was incredibly frustrated by this point. ’If I run into a Realm King, I can still use the Blood-Drinking Seventh Technique: Heaven and Earth Rending. The worst that can happen is I’ll be weak for a few days. But against a Realm Emperor, I have almost no power to resist. I might not even get a chance to make a move.’

Long Ao was, of course, perfectly clear about his own strength. ’If my Cultivation can break through from the Great Venerable Realm to the Realm King Realm, I could undoubtedly instant-kill almost any Realm King. As for a Realm Emperor, even if I couldn’t fight them head-on, I could use the Blood-Drinking Seventh Technique: Heaven and Earth Rending to eliminate them with the help of the Broken Space.’

In other words, his top priority right now was to break through to the Void Realm King Realm.

"Long Fu, do you have a way?"

"Master, trying to get your Cultivation to the Peak Great Venerable Realm by relying solely on Realm King and Realm Emperor Spirit Beasts seems a bit unrealistic. Here’s what you should do: go and kill thirty Great Venerable Spirit Beasts. Once you complete their Refinement, I’m confident I can help your Cultivation instantly break through to the Peak of Great Venerable."

’Thirty Great Venerable Spirit Beasts.’

The number sounded terrifying, but to the current Long Ao, it was almost nothing. As long as he didn’t run into a freak like the Lightning Dragon Horse, Long Ao was completely invincible among Great Venerables.

Nodding, Long Ao left the Dragon Seal Space and immediately began his hunt, all the while doing his best to avoid crossing paths with the Four Great Emperors.

Long Ao’s strength was indeed formidable. In just two days, he had already killed twenty-five Great Venerable Spirit Beasts. In other words, he was only five Great Venerable Spirit Beasts away from being able to break through to Peak Great Venerable and then advance to Realm King.

Within the Eight Realms of Void, the Void Realm King Realm was practically the critical point before the Peak of Void. This was because breaking through to the Realm King Realm meant one had touched the threshold of the Realm Emperor Realm.

According to the division of strength, Realm Kings were divided into four levels: Basic Level Realm King, Middle Level Realm King, High Level Realm King, and Peak Realm King. The same was true for Realm Emperors: Basic Level Realm Emperor, Middle Level Realm Emperor, High Level Realm Emperor, and Peak Realm Emperor.

Before he knew it, Long Ao had arrived at the deepest part of the Dark Forest.

The canopy blotted out the sky, and not a single ray of sunlight could be seen. Ancient, towering trees stood all around him.

Oppressive.

Long Ao felt increasingly stifled, as if he couldn’t breathe. He was like an ant on a hot pan, restless and agitated.

’An Array?’

Long Ao was shocked. He never would have imagined that there was such a powerful Array in the deepest part of the Dark Forest. If he hadn’t received his master’s Array inheritance, he believed he would have already been consumed by it.

Not daring to be the least bit careless, Long Ao immediately began to study the Array. The more he studied it, the grimmer his expression became. ’It’s too powerful! It could even contend with a Heaven and Earth Array. Who on earth could have set up such a terrifying Array here?’

But Long Ao didn’t back down. He knew that if he left this place before his Cultivation broke through to the Realm King Realm, only death would await him should he encounter the Four Great Emperors.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Long Ao ultimately chose to press forward.

The deeper he went, the more solemn Long Ao’s expression became. The oppressive feeling grew more intense, and he had to be vigilant at all times. An Array Attack could come at any moment, and the consequences would be dire.

SWOOSH.

Just then, a white shadow flashed past. Long Ao jumped in fright, thinking he had encountered the Lightning Dragon Horse again. But when he took a closer look, he saw that the white shadow was actually a White Fox with nine tails.

’A Nine-tailed White Fox?’

Long Ao was utterly stunned. He knew exactly what a Nine-tailed White Fox represented. The Nine-tailed White Fox was a legendary being. While not exceptionally strong, it was incredibly useful. Rumor had it that the blood of a Nine-tailed White Fox could help a Martial Artist rapidly increase their strength.

’A Nine-tailed White Fox... Is my luck really this good?’

Long Ao was overjoyed. He never would have imagined he would encounter a Nine-tailed White Fox here. It would be a lie to say he didn’t want to capture it.

However, Long Ao didn’t act rashly. He knew a fair bit about the Nine-tailed White Fox. Though its combat strength wasn’t very high, its speed was unparalleled. Even the Lightning Dragon Horse couldn’t compare to a Nine-tailed White Fox in that regard.

’If I can get the Nine-tailed White Fox’s blood, I’m confident I can break through to the Peak Great Venerable Realm in one go. It might even help me advance to become a Void Realm King! If that’s true, it would be absolutely incredible!’

Long Ao stared intently at the Nine-tailed White Fox. Seeing that it wasn’t moving, he also remained perfectly still, not even daring to release his aura for fear of startling it.

’This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Whether or not I can break through to Void Realm King depends on whether I can catch this Nine-tailed White Fox.’

"Kid, are you thinking of catching this Nine-tailed White Fox?"

Hearing the voice, Long Ao was startled. From start to finish, he hadn’t sensed the slightest trace of an aura. He turned around and saw a middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared, dressed in white robes. He looked gentle and refined, giving off a very comfortable feeling.

But Long Ao didn’t dare to be the least bit careless. ’This man in white gives me the feeling that I can’t see through him at all. That kind of strength is terrifying.’
