“Finally, I’ve been trapped here for so long. The time has come to reunite with my other part!”Long De was inside the Dragon Pagoda. He endured the torment inflicted upon him by Chen Nian through the Pagoda’s punishment. His body could already be considered destroyed; only his soul remained intact. However, the extraction process required a long procedure, allowing him to continue surviving for now. That nearly ruined body would not last much longer, and by sheer coincidence, he could sense a resonance with another part of himself.Long De had two clones. One had already been destroyed by Chen Nian earlier, while his original body was now inside the Dragon Pagoda. However, he still had one remaining clone, with whom he had long since lost contact. It was as if that clone had become independent—separating itself and building its own strength!After sensing this presence, he naturally intended to reclaim his rightful ownership as the original master of that clone. No matter what, he wa

Five figures appeared in the star-filled night sky. The sound of roosters crowing had long since faded, replaced now by the hooting of owls that cast an even more mysterious atmosphere over the scene.These people stared at Shang Yan, who had already succeeded in killing three of the five Hunters sent after him.“You two go down. It seems my dear brother has already reached the Upper Stage of the Cave Realm. This will be rather interesting.”The one who spoke was Emperor Shang Relay. He had brought four palace experts who had already reached the Upper and Peak stages of the Cave Realm. In truth, he could have simply ordered his subordinates to capture Shang Yan while he remained in the palace waiting for the results. However, he wanted to personally witness the miserable expression of his brother being controlled by someone else. Thus, he had come to the Baya Mountains himself.Now, seeing that his brother had grown stronger, he was quite surprised. The last time they met, Shang Yan h

It was like the sound of an explosion inside their heads.Boom!All their eyes witnessed an unexpected scene that sent chills through everyone’s hearts.How could it not? It was as if they were watching a performance—someone committing murder in the cruelest way possible. Eating the opponent’s heart!The act nearly made them vomit. Who wouldn’t feel disgusted seeing fresh blood still dripping from that heart as it was shoved into a mouth?“Disgusting… How can something like that even exist?” Su Min said with difficulty in his voice. Of course, he knew how powerful the Emperor had been. But what puzzled him was how the Emperor could be defeated so easily. Like a child unable to resist when struck by an adult. Wasn’t that person far too overwhelming?Su Hai looked at his father, trying to confirm whether they should still enter the Baya Mountains, which clearly hid extraordinary danger. He asked, “What should we do now, Father?”Su Min looked at his son with mixed emotions. They had com

A chain of explosions echoed through the air, erasing many of the remaining tree trunks. Now, the hill was completely stripped bare of vegetation. As far as the eye could see—over hundreds of kilometers—the land lay desolate.Long Wang stared at Chen Nian, his smile disappearing when he saw that the figure he had attacked was still standing firm. Who would have thought that an attack which had never failed would have its record broken!?It was not only Chen Nian he looked at. His gaze shifted toward the three dragons now standing before him. “You all seem very weak. Even though you possess pure bloodlines. It’s such a pity that not only are you weak, but you also submit to a human who has destroyed the Dragon Race.” Long Wang clearly harbored resentment toward humans, and he did not hide it.Shang Yan fell silent. He had never known that Chen Nian was a human. He had thought this young man belonged to the same race as himself—the Demon Race. He listened again to Long Wang’s ramblings,

“You think you can confine me with such a trivial technique? That’s impossible. I am not like Long De, so easily captured and defeated. I am the ruler of these mountains—unyielding and powerful. No one has been able to defeat me for hundreds of thousands of years.”Long Wang did not move at all. It was as if he were saying, “Keep sending things like this—it’s useless.” That was the meaning behind his stance.Even after the combined golden light from the completed formation stabilized, Long Wang still gave Chen Nian time. That worked greatly in Chen Nian’s favor, and he had not expected Long Wang to be this confident.Indeed, someone who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years would naturally possess immense confidence—especially with strength far above the average.“Is this all, human?” Long Wang mocked in a disdainful tone. To him, the formation was ordinary—nothing special, nothing worth worrying about. Then what was it? What made Chen Nian smile? He could not understand.He gl
