You should know that after months of wandering through battles, his cultivation level has risen to the Immortal King realm. Coupled with the increasingly refined Heavenly Dao Sword Intent and the state of his awakened bloodline madness, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that even a slightly stronger Immortal Emperor would be cut down by his chaotic blades!
But now, feeling this aura, even the normally unflappable Li Wujie feels a chill down his spine, as though he’s about to face a great horror!
“What are you standing around for? Get going!”
Li Wujie growls, trying to suppress the unease in his heart.
“Yes!”
The group hurriedly escorted the great demons, panic etched on their faces as they dashed out of the massive nest and fled the area.
“This, this is a powerful member of the Dragon Clan. I didn’t expect beings of that level to remain in the Kunlun Realm…”
Hearing the Dragon Roar, Elder Qingyang’s scalp tingled, and the fear within him erupted like a flood.
The Dragon Clan is the imperial faction among the demon race, and in a sense, belongs to the category of divine beasts.
Beings of this caliber possess terrifying combat power due to their inherent racial abilities.
Now, with a Dragon Clan powerhouse emerging, Elder Qingyang has a premonition that a great storm is about to be stirred up!
He certainly doesn’t want to go over and try to curry favor; after all, Dragon Clan members are notoriously proud, with a deep-seated superiority complex. It’s one thing to stick his hot face to their cold butts, but the scariest part is disturbing them, which could lead to being wiped out with a wave of their hand.
So, it’s best to keep as far away as possible!
At this moment,
Li Wujie and the others are in a panic-stricken retreat, all unwilling to stick around, fearing unnecessary complications.
A thousand miles away, a massive dark golden dragon roars into the sky, exuding a terrifying dragon might that sweeps across all directions.
Whoosh!
The surface of this dark golden dragon shimmers with brilliant light, and then it visibly transforms into human form.
In the vast heavens, a man with long hair wildly flowing stands with his hands behind his back, towering with presence. Two imposing black horns jut from his head, and his eyes blaze with a golden intensity like a deity, looking down on the masses with a haughty demeanor.
His bare chest and eight-pack abs are sculpted like marble, radiating masculine beauty, with patches of dark golden dragon scales covering parts of his skin. A thick dragon tail hangs behind him, exuding an innate air of arrogance.
“Hehe, I’ve finally broken through the limits, cultivating the Immortal Wheel to the legendary Ten-Grade!”
“Is there anyone under heaven who can rival me?”
As he speaks, Long Ao Tian slowly spreads his arms, a sharp smile curling at the corners of his mouth, his expression filled with pride.
Behind him hovers a brilliant, indestructible Immortal Wheel, its entire form resembling a gigantic dark golden millstone, releasing an ancient aura of time.
After bidding farewell to Hong Qianye, Long Ao Tian found a place to focus on his training. Unlike other revivers, where restoring cultivation was the initial plan, his aim is to break through the Immortal Emperor’s limits and cultivate the Immortal Wheel to the legendary tenth grade!
Everyone knows the Immortal Wheel has levels from one to nine, an essential means for Immortal Emperors to enhance their combat power.
With each turn of the wheel, one could possess the strength of a hundred ordinary Immortal Emperors.
Stretching this further, if the wheel reaches nine turns, one could gain the backing of nine hundred ordinary Immortal Emperors.
But there’s also a legendary extreme: the tenth turn!
This is the realm sought after by successive Immortal Emperors!
Once the Immortal Wheel reaches the tenth turn, it doesn’t just mean possessing the strength of a thousand ordinary Immortal Emperors.
It means having the power of a full one hundred thousand!!!
Such a terrifying number signifies a qualitative transformation brought about by the Ten-Grade Immortal Wheel!
Beings breaking the limits of the Immortal Emperor are also honored as the Supreme Immortal Emperor!
This title carries immense weight because every existence that can break through the Immortal Emperor’s limits is a true prodigy. Moreover, as they break through subsequent realms, they enjoy an inherent boost in combat power, making it incredibly advantageous.
That’s why Long Ao Tian shows such confidence after breaking through the limits.
After all, he truly has the qualifications!
“Though my cultivation level has barely recovered to the third layer of Immortal Emperor, and I’m still a long way from my peak, with my current strength, I’m far more powerful than I was back then!”
“If I fully recover, even if a being of the Immortal Sovereign level appears, I’m confident I can kill them!”
Long Ao Tian’s tone brooks no doubt.
In ancient times, he had a breathtaking feat: he had forcefully killed an Immortal Sovereign while at the Immortal Emperor realm.
This achievement sent shockwaves throughout the Kunlun Realm, establishing his fearsome reputation and instilling dread in countless cultivators.
But few know that the formidable one he fought was a newly ascended Immortal Sovereign, whose realm was unstable, making them one of the weaker ones among them.
That battle was exceptionally grueling for Long Ao Tian; he fought valiantly and, nearly at the brink of death from his injuries, barely managed to take down that Immortal Sovereign.
Even so, this feat is still remarkable.
After all, without an Immortal Emperor level figure present, the Immortal Sovereigns are the rulers, the behind-the-scenes giants controlling the narrative in the cultivation world.
So, for Long Ao Tian to achieve this is considered nothing short of a miracle in the eyes of the public.
Now, however, with Long Ao Tian no longer the same as before, he is confident that if he fully regains his peak, he could easily take down that former Immortal Sovereign!
He would never be so embarrassed again!
“Hmph, that throne of the strongest in the Kunlun Realm must belong to me, Long Ao Tian; no one can snatch it away!”
Long Ao Tian’s tone is resolute, his eyes glinting with unbeatable conviction.
He hasn’t forgotten the promise he made when he said farewell to Hong Qianye.
One day, he will stand at the pinnacle of this world!
“Qianye, when we meet again, I can’t wait to see what your expression will be,” he softly murmurs, recalling that unforgettable figure in red.
Then, after adjusting his emotions, he begins to roam around, gathering the latest news from this period.
Long Ao Tian believes that during his secluded training, something must have happened in the Central Region’s cultivation world. He needs to know who’s currently on the rise and who will be his next opponent to defeat!
After all, in this life, Long Ao Tian vowed to become the strongest in the Kunlun Realm!
He will never allow anyone to stand above him!
With that, Long Ao Tian moves purposefully through the Central Region, various snippets of the latest news flooding into his ears.
“What? The Immortal Dao Alliance has been established?!”
“The leader is a man called Ye Junlin!”
“His identity is that of a top figure from ancient times, and he might have once been a hidden Immortal Emperor!”
Upon hearing this explosive news, Long Ao Tian’s mind is shocked, and disbelief flashes across his eyes.
Is this true or not?
A supposed Immortal Emperor level figure, who didn’t stay in the Immortal Realm, but lingered in the decaying Kunlun Realm—what’s going on here?
He deeply doubts the reliability of this information.
After all, the Immortal Emperor is already at the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao; why would he stay in the Kunlun Realm to compete for opportunities for immortality and seek a higher realm?
It’s like a power-hungry, supreme ruler suddenly throwing off his royal garb to live among commoners and engage in cunning games with local landowners.
Isn’t that ridiculous?
Did the Immortal Emperor get tired of ruling and come here for some fun?
Long Ao Tian absolutely does not believe the claims about Ye Junlin’s identity.
He views it as mere rumors circulating in the outside world or perhaps a story being deliberately spread to lend credibility for someone to take the position of the leader!
With this in mind, Long Ao Tian feels sure it’s closer to the truth!
“That Ye Junlin is incredibly arrogant, daring to establish the Immortal Dao Alliance—this was a decision even Emperor Tian had to give up! Does he think he’s unbeatable in this era?”
A spark of ambition flashes in Long Ao Tian’s eyes as he sneers, “Truly, when the tiger is away, the monkeys dare to become king!”
“You want to be the leader of the Immortal Dao Alliance? Did you even ask me, Long Ao Tian?!”
Boom…
As his words drop,
A thunderous roar resonates in the sky.
In an instant, a wild wind rises, lightning crackles, and the ambitious Long Ao Tian gazes coldly into the distance.
“I want to see just who this Ye Junlin is and what right he has to sit upon the leader’s throne!”
With that, his figure vanishes.
At this moment, Long Ao Tian has placed Ye Junlin as the greatest obstacle on his path to becoming invincible.
He aims to be the strongest of the era; this is his greatest aspiration for staying in the Kunlun Realm, and he absolutely refuses to be subservient in this age!
Absolutely not!!!
