Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 554 - 551: Here it comes!

"The Young Palace’s cultivation base..."

The middle-aged man’s gaze swept over Nangong Yu and immediately perceived that Nangong Yu had actually broken through to the Dragon God Realm!

"There are some gains within the Phoenix Sect," Nangong Yu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Chen’s look towards Su Han softened somewhat.

"There are two matters for my visit today."

Liu Chen said, "The first is to see how the Young Palace is doing. Now that the Young Palace is well, I am somewhat relieved."

"The second matter is that the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal will soon open. Before that, a sect competition will be held to obtain the travel permits for the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal. What level of travel permit one can get will depend on the ranking of their sect."

"The sect competition is limited to a thousand people. For fairness, the Dragon God Realm will be the peak, and those above the Dragon God cannot participate."

"The Dragon God Realm is limited to a maximum of ten people, the Dragon Pill Realm a maximum of a hundred people, and the remaining eight hundred ninety people can be of any cultivation base below the Dragon Pill Realm."

"The sect competition for the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal travel permits does not distinguish between the ranks of the sects. From the Ninth-Rate Sects to the Super Sects, all may participate."

"The time will be three years from now. I’m giving advance notice to make preparations. Three years later, the entrance to the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal will open in the Central Domain’s sky. Though one cannot enter the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal directly, it will be possible to use this entrance to teleport the competitors of the various sects there. After the end of the sect competition and the acquisition of the travel permits, one may enter the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal!"

All these words, quite evidently, were directed at Su Han.

After finishing, Liu Chen looked towards Nangong Yu: "Young Palace, although the Palace Master is not worried, you are, after all, the Young Palace of One Slash Palace. With the Sect Master in seclusion, you are the main person in charge of the One Slash Palace. During your absence, the Grand Elder has been assisting. I hope... you can return soon."

Nangong Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Three years later, when the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal opens, I will travel to the Central Domain."

"Alright then."

Liu Chen nodded helplessly. After a moment’s thought, his hand flipped, and he tossed a crystal stone to Su Han.

"This is a map of the Desolate Antiquity Battlefield. The battlefield is vast, and even with the power of One Slash Palace, we’ve only mapped less than one percent of it, but it’s enough."

"The sect competition will take place within the Desolate Antiquity Battlefield."

"Take good care of the Young Palace."

In the end, Liu Chen gave Su Han a deep look, then his figure flickered, turning into a purple rainbow, and he dashed off into the distance.

Su Han received the crystal stone and offered a bow with clenched fist in the direction where Liu Chen disappeared.

Every time the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal opened, before the sect competition, Super Sects would always have a powerhouse personally appear to notify each sect.

This was not an easy task. After all, even for a Dragon Emperor, it could take years to traverse the entire Dragon Martial Continent.

Liu Chen had clearly visited many sects, which was why he appeared travel-worn and extremely tired.

The map of the Desolate Antiquity Battlefield was extremely precious. Su Han had once heard that only the Grand Strongers could persist and chart some of the routes.

Among so many sects, only those ten Super Sects, as well as the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, the Dragon Martial Trading House, those Hidden Families, and other Grand Powers had possession of such a map.

Even among the First-Class Sects, no more than ten had maps, and they all were Deputy Sects of Super Sects.

For sects like the Phoenix Sect, which were still publicly considered as Eighth-Rate, even if they truly advanced to Sixth-Rate, they still would not have one.

Clearly, Liu Chen had given Su Han the map for the sake of Nangong Yu’s face, or perhaps, it was by the order of the Palace Master of One Slash Palace.

...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days had gone by.

During these ten days, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion ultimately did not deliver the Spirit Stones owed to the Phoenix Sect.

Su Han knew that with the operation of the Teleportation Formations, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion would definitely have earned back their capital by now, and had already made a profit.

However, the initial agreement was completely nullified, especially now, with such a calamity looming overhead, it seemed that Chu Ninghai fundamentally believed that the Phoenix Sect would not be able to survive this catastrophe.

Therefore... there was no longer any need to give those spirit stones to Su Han.

In response, Su Han did not seek trouble but merely remained silent.

This was not the time for disputes, and moreover... relative to the presence of the blood crystal, those spirit stones seemed insignificant in Su Han’s eyes.

"Three more days..."

Su Han stood on the city wall, gazing at the distant snow and muttering to himself.

It was now summer, but that snow still had not melted.

The body hidden beneath Su Han’s robe had become completely transparent—yet, with a thought from Su Han, this transparency could be made to appear as an ordinary person’s.

His physical body had now fully acquired the strength of the Dragon Spirit Realm!

"The enhancement of the physical body has no limit; it all depends on the amount of blood crystal one can obtain."

Watching the snow, Su Han felt no trepidation, only anticipation.

"With enough blood crystals, my physical body can quickly surpass my cultivation base, leaving behind whether it is Martial Path Cultivation, Magic Cultivation, or even Immortal Cultivator, all far behind."

"Calamity... is truly a creation of fortune!"

...

Before long, three days passed.

On the morning of the fourth day, the city wall of the Phoenix Sect residence was crowded with figures.

More than fifty thousand people stood there, yet the place was extremely silent, filled only with the breathing of these Phoenix Sect Disciples.

Their gaze was fixated on the distance, their expressions solemn.

Su Han, hands clasped behind his back, dressed in white, stood among the crowd.

Beside him stood Xiao Yuhui, each holding the delicate little arm of a child—these arms belonged to Su Qing and Su Yao.

Perhaps witnessing such a scene could cast a shadow over the heart of Su Qing and Su Yao at this moment, but to live in this world, one must pay its price!

Now was the best time to temper their spirit!

Especially Su Qing, always mischievous, when his sister Su Yao was comprehending the Innate Holy Stele, he not only lacked concentration but was also causing interruptions, so much so that Xiao Yuhui was forced to take him away to a distance.

If he continued this way, Su Qing would ultimately turn into an unlearned and incompetent wastrel, which Su Han, as his father, would not want to see.

The current calamity might just be the best transition for Su Qing.

After experiencing the cruelty of war, he would understand that in this world where he lived, everything respected strength above all else!

"Whoo~"

Suddenly, a wind started to blow through heaven and earth at some point.

Although the sky was clear and empty, the assembled people felt as if the world had suddenly turned grim.

"It’s here."

With Su Han’s utterance, it decisively signified that this earth-shattering calamity would spread across the entire Dragon Martial Continent...

It had spread everywhere!
