"Hmmm... the Seven Gates of the Gods technique is indeed an unparalleled skill. However, it is impossible for that young man to master it perfectly. The martial art that has surfaced in the world of martial arts several times is an imperfect one. So, there's no need for you to worry!" said the Fire God arrogantly.As per the knowledge of the Fire God, who possessed extensive martial arts wisdom, the current Seven Gates of the Gods technique owned by Liong Yun was not a pure martial art. It had already been mixed with the thoughts of someone who had obtained an incomplete copy of the technique. Therefore, according to him, what Liong Yun possessed at the moment was the Seven Gates of the Gods technique blended with another martial art.Liong Yun heard what the Fire God said clearly. With his above-average sensory perception in the martial arts world, he easily caught the words. What he heard surprised him enough. However, on the other hand, he did not deny what the Fire God described.
Yo Kiang, the Demon King who defied the heavens, left the residence of the Angelic Martial Artist with a shattered spirit. He never expected that his power could be broken with just one onslaught.Days passed, and it turned out that Yo Kiang didn't truly leave the place. He settled not far from the residence of the Jade-Faced Angelic Martial Artist. It seemed like he had come to terms with the situation and no longer harbored ambitions to defeat the Angelic Martial Artist.Giok Lin, aware that Yo Kiang was nearby, frequently visited the man. Slowly, love blossomed between them. Over the years, they shared their affection without ever dwelling on past events.Their relationship became known to the Jade-Faced Angelic Martial Artist. He didn't have any issues with it, especially seeing that Yo Kiang was sincere and had seemingly reformed.Two years passed, and suddenly Giok Lin fell seriously ill. Using his Seven Gates of Godly Knowledge, the Jade-Faced Angelic Martial Artist tried to he
Ten years had passed, and Yo Kang had been studying the Seven Gates of God's Art. However, instead of progress, he faced a disaster for himself. The essence and secrets of the teachings in the book were beyond his grasp, and slowly his body was being corroded by a fierce poison due to mistakes in learning the divine art.Despite failing to acquire the highest knowledge from the Book of the Seven Gates of God's Art, it didn't mean that the Demon King, Challenger of the Heavens, did not experience progress in his martial arts. Although, for that, he had to pay a high price due to the presence of a fierce poison now rampant in his body.The Seven Gates of God's Art he studied were indeed imperfect, but they still granted extraordinary martial skills. On the other hand, he felt deceived by the Jade-Faced Martial Angel. He considered the given book incomplete, thinking that it was intentionally done by the Jade-Faced Martial Angel, planning to plot against the legendary figure.After feeli
"Young one, I didn't expect your abilities to be so high. It's not in vain that you became a disciple of the Fire God. But unfortunately, today might be the last day you are his disciple!" mocked the Master of Snake Island Thousand.The leader of the Devil Sect on Hell Island appeared distressed upon hearing the words of the Master of Snake Island Thousand. He attacked fiercely once again, giving his opponent no chance to breathe.Yet again, the situation did not change. They remained evenly matched, and now it seemed that the Master of Snake Island Thousand was gaining the upper hand. Suddenly, he used his secret technique, cornering the leader of the Devil Sect on Hell Island."Damn it!" cursed the leader of the Devil Sect on Hell Island.He then shot towards a slightly distant place and spread his hands to the sides. Suddenly, the sky turned dark. The condition of the leader of the Devil Sect on Hell Island was no different. His eyes turned completely black while his body emitted d
Ye Ling's sudden attack was quite surprising for Liong Yun. He never expected the girl to attack him at all. Indeed, the attack had no effect on his condition. The young man remained steadfast in the air, like a god."Truly terrifying abilities this young man possesses! Ye Ling's attack was not a random one. If I were the one receiving it, I would not be able to stand firm without defending myself. Although it didn't hurt me, the girl's attack was enough to throw me off balance. But this young man remains steadfast in his place," murmured the Fire God, full of admiration and dread. "Perhaps only a fellow disciple can match the prowess of this young man. I hope my strategy can eliminate him. Hoping for a fellow disciple seems impossible."The Fire God continued to observe the course of the battle between Liong Yun and Nan Ye Ling. He concluded that the young man did indeed have feelings for his disciple. Therefore, in every attack launched by Nan Ye Ling, not a single one received a co
"The Formation of the Eight Holy Devil Suppressors!""Good!"One of the Eight Holy Monks, Demon Exterminators, shouted. The other seven simultaneously responded and immediately formed a formation. They took out the small bells they carried. The bodies of the eight monks emitted a yellow-colored light, the distinctive power of the holy ones, the demon repellent.Liong Yun, surrounded by the monks, just smiled cynically. He might not know who they were, but he knew that they were supposed to be holy people who should be detached from worldly affairs."I never expected holy people like you to submit to the source of evil and greed," he taunted with a resentful tone.The eight individuals frowned. They looked at each other immediately. Then one of them said, "You, who possess the aura of demons, do not try to influence us. We are on the path of righteousness to eliminate the demonic path that seeks to distort the truth on this earth. The heretical Seven Gates of God technique you possess
All the inhabitants of Snake Island were running, trying to escape the island. However, the god of fire pursued them without mercy. Moreover, they were also chased by those with average strength above them. Only the master of Snake Island and Li Cheng seemed to still be able to match the strength of the enemies."Hahaha, where do you think you're running, young man? Our business is not finished!"Li Cheng's escape suddenly came to a halt. Before him stood the Vice Chairman of the Devil Island Sect, speaking in a demeaning tone. Shortly after, other key members of the sect appeared. However, Li Cheng showed no fear. His abilities were still above the average of those confronting him."Do you think a bunch of riffraff like you can defeat me? You should be worried because you've already met your death!" Li Cheng exclaimed loudly.Without much ado, the young man swiftly darted forward and attacked. He used his maximum power to quickly end the fight and leave the place. However, it turned
The Fire God and his disciple paddled their small boat using more of their mystical energy. With this, the speed of the boat increased. Before long, they spotted a boat rowing swiftly in the distance. They were confident that it was the boat carrying Liong Yun."It seems like that boat indeed belongs to the young man we are looking for, master!" exclaimed Nan Ye Ling enthusiastically.The Fire God nodded. He then increased the use of his mystical energy to paddle even faster. A few moments later, the small boat they were on glided faster, shortening the distance to the boat they were pursuing in a very brief time.Inside the boat, now only about 50 spear lengths away, a girl dressed in all white rowed with all her might. She frequently glanced back towards the small boat used by the Fire God. Her anxiety became more apparent as she realized their proximity."Young Master Liong, I hope you wake up soon! Facing the Fire God and his disciple, I could actually win if I were in normal cond
They were the Divine Hands Deity, the Sword Lightning Deity, and the White Tiger King. Without hesitation, the three joined Lin Lian Xue's side to face the remaining Four Dragon Protectors. With their arrival, the attacks that once threatened lives were now countered with equally ferocious strikes.The tide of battle began to turn. In mere moments, Lin Lian Xue delivered a decisive blow to the Southern Dragon, causing him to collapse with labored breaths before finally succumbing to his injuries. The remaining three Dragon Protectors began to falter against the relentless attacks of these formidable warriors.Amid the chaos of battle, the Black Dragon Emperor, witnessing the destruction of his army, could no longer contain his fury. With a face flushed in rage, he lunged toward Lin Lian Xue, determined to end her life. “How dare you!” he roared in hatred.However, just before the Black Dragon Emperor could reach Lin Lian Xue, a dazzling white light sliced through his path, accompanied
The awaited morning finally arrived, the ninth day of the fifth month. The skies above the Northern Empire’s border were gray, as if nature itself felt the tension between the two sides about to engage in a life-and-death battle.The combined forces of the Southern and Eastern Empires, led by the Master of Dragon Island, moved forward in neat formations. In the distance, they saw the Black Dragon Empire’s army, already prepared across the valley, led directly by the Black Dragon Emperor and his four Dragon Guardians—a newly formed rank after many sect leaders had been killed by Liong Yun.The Black Dragon Empire’s troops lined up with discipline. The soldiers, clad in black robes and menacing masks, were accompanied by dark art practitioners infamous for their ruthlessness and willingness to sacrifice lives. Loud cheers echoed from their ranks, as if to shake the courage of their opponents.Standing on a small hill, the Master of Dragon Island observed both sides preparing for battle.
Two days later, the forces of the Eastern Empire and the Southern Empire arrived at the border of the Northern Imperial City. The thunderous sound of thousands of soldiers marching shattered the stillness of the cold morning at the border. Amidst the formation, figures who symbolized hope moved with composed confidence.The Southern Emperor, accompanied by General Guo and the Master of Dragon Island, personally led his troops, while on the other side, the charismatic Eastern Emperor advanced with his strongest generals.The Southern Emperor, with his charisma and experience as a ruler, exuded authority, while the Eastern Emperor, who was once a legendary warrior, displayed his prowess. Two great leaders, commanding massive forces, prepared to launch an assault against the Black Dragon Empire.Aware of the high risk of conflict between these two massive armies, which could prove disastrous for both sides, the Southern Emperor and Eastern Emperor agreed to hold a meeting.In the midst o
With the strength he had unleashed up to half of his power, Lo Hao struck the ground with a powerful fist, and a violent tremor immediately spread, creating large cracks that crept toward Lin Lian Xue. The surrounding trees trembled, and some ancient roots emerged from the earth, making the battlefield even more chaotic.Lin Lian Xue avoided the cracks with an agile leap, but Lo Hao was already in front of her, ready to slash her with a hand that had now transformed into sharp black claws.The clash between Lo Hao's claws and Lin Lian Xue's sword sparked a blinding flash of energy. The air around them hissed as if burning, emitting sparks from their relentless battle.Each of Lin Lian Xue's moves, clad in a light resembling a dragon's shadow, aimed at Lo Hao's vital points. However, Lo Hao was now not only defending; he began launching counterattacks that were even more ferocious. "This is the end of the bloodline of the Dragon Sky Warrior!" he shouted, throwing a powerful punch that
The darkness of the forest surrounding Lin Lian Xue grew denser, as if cloaked in a mysterious mist that enveloped the trees and made each step feel heavy. Ancient trees with roots that sprawled like living creatures lurked, and the typically tranquil sounds of the night now echoed with strange vibrations, as if the forest was breathing in a sinister rhythm.Lin Lian Xue continued to move nimbly, following the dark figure she had chased from the camp, but slowly she realized she had strayed far from the imperial army.Suddenly, the figure stopped in the middle of the forest, right in a clearing dimly lit by moonlight. There, he stood tall, dressed in rough attire made of black fur mixed with blood. His face was hard and fierce, his lips curling into a smile that revealed fanged teeth."Welcome to my abode, sweet lady," he said with a deep voice that echoed in the darkness. "Surrender, and you will live happily as my wife. Or..." His words hung in the air, full of threat.Lin Lian Xue
The great army of the Southern Empire continued its march northward. Thousands of brave soldiers marched together under the fluttering banners bearing the golden tiger emblem, the symbol of the Southern Empire's strength and courage.Amidst the army stood the imposing figure of Great General Guo, firmly mounted on his horse. His sharp eyes gazed ahead as if foreseeing every obstacle they would face. His large, muscular body radiated the aura of a formidable leader, with a face that seemed prepared to face anything for the safety of the world.Beside him was the Master of Dragon Island, an elderly man with white hair who remained robust and dignified. His face was resolute, with eyes that exuded the calmness of a warrior who had faced many battles. His daughter, a beautiful swordswoman with a resolute spirit matching her father’s, accompanied him, holding the family heirloom sword entrusted to her since childhood. Her face was stern but conveyed a hidden care, especially for the fate o
A golden shadow moved swiftly, darting between the trees like lightning slicing through the night. The Divine Hands Master, an old martial world figure with incredible speed, moved with one purpose. The Nameless Haunted Valley, where the young and mighty Liong Yun resided with his loyal followers.The valley was shrouded in deadly poisonous mist, filled with natural traps and ferocious beasts. But for the Divine Hands Master, none of these were obstacles. His speed was unstoppable, leaving a golden trail in the emptiness.Upon reaching the Haunted Valley, the Divine Hands Master immediately entered the residence of his master. Liong Yun, a young man with a handsome face, a firm jaw, and thick eyebrows resembling eagle wings, sat atop a jade stone with an air of authority. He appeared more like a learned scholar than someone from the rough world of martial arts.A gentle smile graced his lips, but his gaze was cold and sharp, displaying an unshakeable calmness. Behind his serene appear
That night, the atmosphere in the Northern and Western regions of the Black Dragon Empire’s territory turned menacing. The usually calm night wind now felt bone chilling, accompanied by dark shadows flitting in every corner of the villages.Many of the residents were terrified. Panicked screams could be heard everywhere, while the campfires in the middle of the villages flickered under the cold moonlight."My child! Please! Where is my child?" An old woman ran around crying in front of her empty house."He just went out this morning! How could he have disappeared?" an old man whispered to his neighbor, trembling. "Others have disappeared too. A few other young men are also missing.""This must be the work of demons!" his neighbor replied, pale-faced. "I heard from the neighboring village that three young men disappeared the same way! No trace, just a black mist left behind. Those who vanished all share the same trait they were all born on the first day of the seventh month.""Oh gods.
Liong Chen nodded, his voice still cold. “Not just any blood. The Black Dragon Emperor requires the blood of a hundred young men to be taken within two days.”The right protector fell silent for a moment, his face tense. “A hundred young men in two days? In our current situation? Our power is already fragmented after the last war!”“If not,” continued Liong Chen, disregarding the complaint, “his strength will never fully recover. And when that happens, the Black Dragon Empire will lose its leader forever.”The right protector furrowed his brows even deeper. “Without the Emperor, we will be destroyed... All his followers will perish.”“You know what needs to be done,” Liong Chen said sharply, his gaze full of pressure.“I will arrange everything,” replied the right protector firmly, although his mind was in turmoil.After the Right Protector left the room, Liong Chen remained beside the Black Dragon Emperor, his eyes observing the ruler’s weakened body. “A hundred lives—that’s all that
