War God Long Ao

"Shameless."

"Shameless?"

Hearing Long Ao's words, Feng Wuyi and Liu Boming suddenly burst into laughter, feeling not the slightest bit of shame.

It seemed that in their eyes, being shameless was perfectly natural.

"Long Ao, you will die today. There's no doubt about it."

As they spoke, Feng Wuyi and Liu Boming attacked simultaneously, giving Long Ao no chance to escape.

From the very beginning, Long Ao had no intention of leaving. Otherwise, he would have fled at the start.

He needed to temper himself in a battle of life and death. He'd always had a strange, indescribable feeling that to break through to the Saint realms, his Ninth Transformation Reincarnation Technique required him to experience a true brush with death.

It was for this very reason that Long Ao did not leave, choosing to fight against the two Saints.

Long Ao still chose to meet them head-on, clashing fiercely with the two Saints. In an exchange of no more than two moves, Long Ao was once again sent flying.

Seeing this, both Feng Wuyi and Liu Boming were somewhat shocked. They wondered if Long Ao had lost his mind. He clearly knew he was no match for the two of them, yet he still chose to fight head-on.

The moment Long Ao was knocked down, he was back in the blink of an eye, still choosing to take the offensive.

And so it went. Long Ao was knocked down time and time again, and time and time again, he got back up. The persistence in his heart told him, 'If I want to break through, I have to endure.'

It had to be said, the Desolate Sacred Body was incredibly powerful. Even under the two Saints' relentless attacks, they couldn't break through its Defense Power.

"Kill him!"

Seeing that even their combined efforts couldn't kill Long Ao, Feng Wuyi and Liu Boming grew anxious. They couldn't for the life of them understand why, with their joint power, they had failed to kill Long Ao time and time again.

If they weren't experiencing it firsthand, they never would have believed it.

Long Ao had already been knocked down ten times, but he still refused to give up. However, the difference in their Realms was too vast. Relying solely on the Defense Power of his Desolate Sacred Body to hold out indefinitely was simply not realistic.

And so, on the eleventh time, Feng Wuyi and Liu Boming launched a combined all-out attack. As it slammed viciously into Long Ao's chest, his entire torso caved in, and he was sent flying once more.

This time, Long Ao did not manage to get back up. He just lay there quietly on the ground.

Seeing this, delight appeared on the faces of both Feng Wuyi and Liu Boming. They strode quickly to Long Ao's side. As Saints, they could, of course, clearly sense that Long Ao had stopped breathing.

"Let's tear him to shreds."

But at that very moment, Long Ao's body suddenly vanished into thin air.

That's right—he vanished right under the noses of the two Saints.

The two Saints' eyes went wide with disbelief. They couldn't figure out why Long Ao would just disappear. What on earth had happened?

"Where did Long Ao go?"

Shaking his head, Feng Wuyi scanned their surroundings. Neither of them dared to be careless, and they immediately began searching the area for any trace of Long Ao.

Long Ao lay quietly on the ground, without the slightest trace of an aura, signifying that he had Fallen. But his soul was still roaming within his body.

'The Ninth Transformation Reincarnation Technique... one transformation, one step toward heaven... I've finally broken through to the Second Transformation.'

Long Ao didn't dare to be the least bit careless. His soul immediately began to practice his Cultivation.

This had been a huge gamble for Long Ao. If he had lost, his life would have been forfeit. But the result was that he had won. Not only that, but his Cultivation had also broken through, and his Ninth Transformation Reincarnation Technique had advanced to the Second Transformation.

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

An unknown amount of time passed before the supposedly dead Long Ao's eyes snapped open. He sat bolt upright and looked around, his face a mask of joy and excitement.

"I've finally broken through to the Semi-Saint Realm!"

All the Spiritual Essence in Long Ao's body had been converted into Holy Essence. But what excited him most wasn't his Cultivation breaking through to the Semi-Saint Realm, but the breakthrough of his Ninth Transformation Reincarnation Technique.

Long Ao had always known how incredibly powerful the Ninth Transformation Reincarnation Technique was, especially after what Long Fu had told him. 'The Reincarnation Ninth Transformation Technique is incomparably mighty. With Ninth Transformation Reincarnation, you can defy Heaven and Earth. The day you complete the Ninth Transformation, Master, is the day you will reach the Martial Arts Peak. I, Long Fu, eagerly await seeing you take that step.'

The Ninth Transformation Reincarnation Technique. The First Transformation: Netherworld, where one does not enter Reincarnation. Now, he had broken through to the Second Transformation, the so-called Second Transformation of the Netherworld: Spatial Teleportation.

Long Ao was beyond ecstatic about breaking through to the Second Transformation and obtaining the powerful Martial Skill, Spatial Teleportation.

"I'll give it a try."

Long Ao knew very well that with his current strength, large-scale Spatial Teleportation was impossible, but a one-meter Instant Teleportation should be more than manageable.

Long Ao used Spatial Teleportation. His entire body vanished into thin air, and an instant later, he reappeared one meter away.

Spatial Teleportation was very simple: it allowed a person to teleport from one point to another. Setting aside its power for a moment, just imagining it was enough to understand how terrifying Spatial Teleportation could be.

Spatial Teleportation had one unique drawback: it couldn't be used consecutively. According to the records on the skill, continuous teleportation required an incredibly powerful soul. Therefore, with Long Ao's current Soul Power, he could only manage a single Instant Teleportation at a time.

But even so, it was still extremely impressive.

Imagine Long Ao fighting a Martial Artist of the same Level. He suddenly uses Spatial Teleportation. One moment they're fighting in one spot, the next he's suddenly a meter away, launching a surprise attack. One could easily guess what the outcome would be.

Long Ao was thrilled. When he had just used Spatial Teleportation, he had only felt a ripple in space, and then his body had already moved to another location. If he hadn't experienced it himself, he would never have believed it, even on pain of death.

Long Ao knew clearly that the Martial Skill Spatial Teleportation was far more powerful than his Self-Created Martial Skill, Heaven and Earth Mourn Together.

Long Ao eagerly anticipated the remaining Realms of the Ninth Transformation Reincarnation Technique. 'If I can get more Martial Skills like this, my power will skyrocket.' In any case, this time, by fighting two against one and enduring the attacks of two Saints, he had not only survived against all odds but had also broken through in his Cultivation and obtained the Spatial Teleportation Martial Skill.

With his Cultivation officially breaking through to the Semi-Saint Realm, Long Ao felt his power instantly surge by tenfold. The Peak of Realm Emperor truly couldn't compare to a Basic Level Semi-Saint; the two were on completely different levels.

Long Ao tried throwing a punch with his Divine Dragon Arm. As expected, the breakthrough in his Cultivation had more than doubled the power of the Divine Dragon Arm. In other words, if the current Long Ao encountered a Semi-Saint Martial Artist, he could obliterate them with ease. As for a Saint, however, he was still no match.

The gap between a Semi-Saint and a Saint was just too large. Long Ao knew this very well. 'Unless my Cultivation can break through to the Peak of Semi-Saint, I won't stand a chance of fighting a Saint.'

(P.S. The next chapter will officially take us past the one-million-word milestone! I hope everyone can chip in a little something to celebrate *Long Ao War God* hitting a million words. It would really make this author, Xiaojiu, look good!)
