The Dragon Emperor returned to the Dragon God Realm. When he showed up, his aura, which was not deliberately concealed, instantly alarmed all the Dragon Gods.
"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, you are finally...finally back!"
“…The Northern Divine Region’s strength is beyond ordinary. The Eastern Divine Region was completely defeated. The Eternal Heaven Divine Realm was stained with blood. The Moon Divine Realm collapsed. The Brahma Emperor Divine Realm bowed to the demons in order to protect itself…”
“Yun Che’s current strength is comparable to that of a Divine Emperor!”
"There are three extremely terrifying old monsters in the demon clan. The two previous emperors of the Brahma Emperor God Realm, Qianye Wugu and Qianye Bingzhu, have all appeared in the world and established themselves in the demon clan! The news that the Brahma Emperor God Realm has hidden the Hongmeng Life and Death Seal is now certain! And they have clearly found a way to activate the Hongmeng Life and Death Seal."
"After the Eastern Divine Region, the Nanming Divine Realm was destroyed in one day, and the Southern Divine Region was frightened. The Canglan, Xuanyuan, and Ziwei Realms surrendered without resistance."
"Ashes were killed! My eldest brother was injured by the Demon Queen and has not recovered yet..."
"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, Fei Mie...is too embarrassed to meet you!"
"All realms in the Western Divine Region are already in a state of preparation for war. They are just waiting for His Majesty the Dragon Emperor to lead and issue orders..."
…………
…………
The voices of the eight dragon gods rang in his ears one after another, inspiring, agitated, guilty... The unprecedented chaos showed the seriousness of the situation.
But the Dragon Emperor did not respond, and even his expression and eyes did not show any fluctuation.
His footsteps were neither hurried nor slow, and the ground was silent. As the supreme ruler of the world, he seemed to be afraid of disturbing something.
After a long time, his steps stopped.
In front of us is an isolation barrier that releases terrifying dragon energy and blocks out everything including breath, light, sound, etc.
Any living creature that comes within a thousand miles of this barrier will instantly become frightened and tremble with fear, and will never dare to take even a single step forward.
Because this was the barrier he had set up personally. The dragon energy flowing through it came from the Dragon King's aura.
Not only was it made of his dragon energy, but it was also infused with a bit of his dragon soul. If someone tried to forcefully enter or break the barrier, unless he was in the Absolute Divine Realm, he would instantly notice it in any corner of the world.
There is no doubt that this barrier has never been touched by anyone over the years.
There are many people who slay dragons in this world, but no one dares to touch the reverse scale of the Dragon Emperor.
No one knows what the world behind this barrier looks like now.
The Dragon Emperor silently raised his hand, and the barrier in front of him suddenly split apart like water waves, leaving a gap a meter high.
He took a deep breath and walked slowly in. Behind him, the gap also disappeared, leaving no living creature a chance to peek in even for a moment.
Inside the barrier, the Dragon Emperor stood there for a long time, staring at the white light in his sight.
That was the barrier of the forbidden land of samsara, and it had existed for a very long time. For more than 200,000 years, it was always so quiet, always so pure and flawless. It was obviously the supreme power, but the white light it released did not carry a soul-shattering dominance, but only a kind of purity that could instantly penetrate and cleanse the hearts and souls of all living beings.
But now, it has changed.
It became extremely faint, and in just a few years, it had almost dissipated, leaving only a layer as thin as smoke, which seemed to dissipate at the touch of a finger.
After a full half hour, Long Bai finally took a step forward.
The world around me has completely changed.
The elements are no longer gentle, the air is no longer fresh and refreshing, the sound of the wind is no longer soothing, and the breath of the earth is no longer pleasant and intoxicating.
The lingering clouds and mist are gone, there are no more bird calls and fluttering butterflies in the ears, let alone the playful whispers of the myriad herbs and flowers…even the magical flowers and herbs that once filled the sight are now withered and dead.
The Forbidden Land of Samsara is where the silent Samsara Well is located, not a fairyland.
Shen Xi's presence made this place a fairyland.
Now that Shen Xi is gone, all that is left is the rapidly withering earth and an eternally silent dead well.
During these two hundred thousand years, no matter what major events had happened, as long as he walked here and took a look at her, he would feel endless joy and satisfaction.
But everything changed, everything was gone.
"Long Bai...you...listen...if anything happens to Xi'er..."
"I will abandon the light... turn into a demon... and make you suffer all the tortures in this world!"
"I will scatter your blood and your ashes... all over this divine world... and let you be trampled by all spirits for eternity!"
Long Bai raised his head, his eyes closed, his face twitching in pain.
Shen Xi’s words back then… that curse laced with tears and resentment, would echo countless times in his heart and soul every day.
Especially the way she looked at him at that time, it was like the cruelest poisonous blade in the world, piercing his heart all the time... never withdrawing for a moment.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally arrived at the center of the Forbidden Land of Samsara, where Shen Xi once lived.
The bamboo house that once existed has now turned into a field of dead bamboo.
Strands of pure spiritual energy came slowly. Long Bai turned his eyes and saw a large cluster of exotic flowers swaying in the breeze.
Once upon a time, such spiritual flowers were only the lowest level existence here, but now they are extremely eye-catching and dazzling.
Long Bai's eyes and heart beat violently. He moved quickly over. When he was close, his feet suddenly lost strength and he stumbled to the ground. His knees, which had never yielded to anyone, pressed down the small flower leaf and embedded it in the soft soil.
In the middle of the flowers was a patch of dried blood. After so many years, it still emitted a faint aura of light... that aura that belonged only to Shen Xi and was engraved in every corner of his soul.
He stretched out his hand, his five fingers trembling as they swayed uncontrollably, and when they were about to touch the blood, he suddenly retracted his hand... Then, his upper body suddenly leaned down, his head drooped, his nostrils flared, and he breathed desperately, like a dying fish thrown into a dry pond.
If one hadn't seen it with one's own eyes, no one could have imagined that the supreme Dragon Emperor would reveal such an unbearable... ugly posture.
After inhaling wildly for a long time, he suddenly stopped and fell to the ground, his whole body curled up, only his right arm slowly raised, his five fingers trembling as they stretched.
Back then, he used this arm to hit Shen Xi.
Three hundred thousand years of acquaintance, more than two hundred thousand years of dream...completely shattered.
There was no more Shen Xi in his life.
"Dragon Queen...where are you...where are you..."
"I know... you must still be alive... but why... I can't find you..."
"As long as you come back... I will agree to anything..."
"I will save your child at all costs and raise her like a biological father... With just one word from you, she will be the future leader of the dragon clan..."
"As long as you come back..."
"Uh... um!"
His eyes were empty, he was mumbling something, blood was dripping from his mouth, but he was unaware of it.
“This hand…” He looked at his right arm, his eyes filled with deep hatred and disgust. “I will cut off this hand that hurt you forever… But I have to keep it for now…”
“Kill Yun Che!”
When the word "Yun Che" came out of his mouth in a low voice, the Dragon Emperor's eyes suddenly changed, and the murderous intent that was so strong that it almost solidified into substance.
“My Dragon Queen… No one in this world is worthy of her… How dare Yun Che, that beast… defile her…”
"He must die...must die!"
"I will tear him apart... crush him... cut him into pieces... turn his bones into ashes!!"
Snap!
The five fingers were clenched, and the sound of bones was deafening and heart-shaking.
As much as Yun Che hated the Dragon Emperor, the Dragon Emperor hated Yun Che as much.
When they invaded the Eastern Divine Region, the Dragon Emperor was a variable that Chi Wuyao did not want to be involved in. But Yun Che was eager to face him as soon as possible, to directly sacrifice his divine source, and to use the power of the divine embers to tear him apart.
And Long Bai... he was even more crazy about Yun Che!
At this moment, the dark shadow deep in his pupils was the shadow of Yun Che... not the Northern Territory Demon Clan.
In the shadow, a shadow
The flame of poison was burning. Over the years, he had been waiting for Yun Che to appear, and he knew that he would definitely come back.
Now he was back, and much earlier than he had expected.
In just four years, he had reached the level of God Emperor and commanded the entire Northern Divine Region... What a terrifying progress and achievement. What a dark and lofty position.
But, he would never, ever... be worthy of, and should never, defile his Dragon Queen!
In order to kill Yun Che as soon as possible, this supreme being in the God Realm will burn with madness that ordinary people cannot imagine!
Southern Divine Territory, Ten Directions Canglan Realm.
Chi Wuyao stood up abruptly, her eyes drooping.
"What?" Qianye Ying'er asked quickly.
“…” Chi Wuyao slowly sat back down and said calmly, “The Dragon Emperor is back.”
"Oh?" Qianye Ying'er was surprised. "Didn't they say earlier that he would stay in the Absolute Beginning Divine Realm for at least two months? Now, only half a month has passed."
“So, no matter how reliable the news is, it can never withstand the variables.” Chi Wuyao frowned and thought: Could it be that my uneasiness in the past few days is due to Long Bai’s early return?
It shouldn’t be that…
Her Nirvana Demon Soul was at an extremely high level, so she had a perception that was beyond the limit, and could produce subtle and indescribable soul warnings before a crisis came. In principle, it was very different from Shui Meiyin's Immaculate Soul.
“Hmph, isn’t that perfect?” Qianye Ying’er said, “Yun Che can’t wait to kill Long Bai with his own hands. Although it’s a perfect opportunity to break through the Dragon God Realm and disintegrate the Western God Region while the Dragon Emperor is away, this might actually be good news for Yun Che.”
"He'll be out in four days, just in time."
“…” Chi Wuyao remained silent.
“Are you worried?” Qianye Ying’er squinted her eyes and said, “If the Dragon Emperor returns, the momentum of the Dragon God Realm and its control over the Western Regions will naturally increase greatly. But on the other hand, if Yun Che really has a way to kill the Dragon Emperor, it will directly destroy the momentum of the Western God Realm. These have already been considered, so what are you worried about?”
“Good question.” Chi Wuyao narrowed her eyes and said, “I am also asking myself, what exactly am I worrying about?”
“Or to put it another way, in the current situation, what kind of situation could catch me off guard?” Chi Wuyao pointed a finger at his lips and pondered.
“Humph.” Qianye Ying’er snorted disdainfully: “Unless Long Bai can directly bring the entire Dragon God Realm down from the sky.”
Qianye Ying'er's words were just a joke, but they made Chi Wuyao's face suddenly change.
Yun Che was now in the Eternal Heaven Realm, and it would take nearly four days for him to come out. If the Dragon God Realm really led the core forces of the Western God Territory to descend from the sky, then without the Demon Lord personally leading the charge, the people of the Northern God Territory would surely be scattered and panicked. Without his Tribulation Demon Disaster Heaven, the core combat power of the Northern Territory would also plummet.
In this case, they would have no chance of matching the Dragon God Realm alone, let alone the vast Western God Territory.
There is an even more serious point. Before Yun Che entered the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, he emphasized that during the opening of the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, he must not be disturbed by external forces, and he must not even move... Otherwise, it would easily cause the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm to collapse.
The Eternal Heaven Realm was a special realm with independent time laws. If it collapsed, it would likely cause a distortion of time and space, with disastrous consequences. It was not impossible for Yun Che and Shui Meiyin to be wiped out.
In other words, there is no way to retreat.
Chi Wuyao’s reaction surprised Qianye Ying’er. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, “Looking at your expression, do you think this kind of thing will really happen? Oh, even if Long Bai gave the order immediately and did not stop for a moment, it would take several days just to integrate the power of the Western Divine Region. Even if they rushed from the Western Divine Region in a mighty force, no matter how fast they were, it would still take about ten days.”
Chi Wuyao opened her eyes and said in a deep voice, “In this world, the thing that can deal the heaviest blow to you is your inherent perception.”
“The Dragon God Realm doesn’t know that we have the Primordial Profound Ark. Similarly…” Her voice sank a little more: “Could there be something similar in the Dragon God Realm that is beyond our knowledge?”
"After all, that is the Dragon God Realm! The oldest, most profound, and most powerful Dragon God Realm that dominates the entire history of the God Realm!"
