Chapter 2095 - 1922: Ancient Luo King

Aben lightly shook her head and said, "Aben now only wishes to cultivate, to become the strongest young supreme, and in the future, follow by the master’s side, fighting for him. As for matters of love, Aben currently has not a single thought. Moreover, Aben also has quite a few children."

Ye Chen shook his head and laughed, "Aben, the Insect Clan warriors are ultimately just creations from the devouring of energy, incomparable to real children, who are born from union with a beloved."

"Is that so?" Aben said blankly.

Seeing Aben’s somewhat understanding yet somewhat confused expression, Ye Chen was somewhat helpless, but he also knew it was impossible to change Aben’s mind immediately. However, he was determined that he could not let Aben be alone for life and must find her a good Daoist couple.

Thus, in just an hour, over a dozen prides of heaven came forward to speak with Aben, only to be mercilessly rejected by her, including several talents from the Earthly List.

At this moment, Gu Jiuhua also encountered an acquaintance.

Though called an acquaintance, the other party did not bear much friendliness, being a gloomy middle-aged man wearing luxurious clothes, with a purple scale in the center of his brow, clearly not from the Human Clan. He had assumed a human form and was surrounded by a group of attendants. He stepped forward and made a sinister smile toward Gu Jiuhua, saying, "Oh, I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Gu Jiuhua to be here too. It truly surprises me."

Gu Jiuhua looked at the person in front of him with coldness and said icily, "Why, can Luo Yingu come but I, Gu Jiuhua, cannot?"

Luo Yingu sneered and said, "I’m at least an elder of the Luotian Royal Family, but what background do you have, Gu Jiuhua? The Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan? An ancient clan that’s long been in decline?"

Beside them, others who came along all mocked in agreement, clearly not placing any value on the declining Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan.

Gu Jiuhua’s expression was icy cold. There had been grudges between the Luotian Royal Family and the Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan in the past.

At that time, when the Balong Divine Sovereign was alive, a peak great power from the Luotian Royal Family offended the Balong Divine Sovereign and was immediately slain by him, thus forming a direct enmity between the two.

Later, as the Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan gradually fell into decline, they also moved to the Second Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain. The Luotian Royal Family was in the Eighth Heavenly Ancient Realm, separated by several heavenly domains, so they’ve lived in peace all these years.

No one expected to meet today at the Palace of Eternal Life.

Gu Jiuhua said coldly, "Even if the Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan is in decline, so what? After all, we are the descendants of ancestral gods who led the Ten Thousand Clan out of the Dark Blood Era. Why does your Luotian Royal Family, a recently risen royal clan, have the right, while we, the descendants of ancestral gods, do not?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yingu seemed to hear the greatest joke under the heavens. He laughed heartily but with a sinister expression, saying, "What? Descendants of ancestral gods? The Red Blood Dragon Emperor was indeed unrivaled in his time, one of the peak powerhouses of the Dark Blood Era, but what is the Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan now? How can they be compared to our Luotian Royal Family? Unless a few dead old guys crawl out from the Dragon Tomb, they might have some qualification."

"Elder Yingu is right; the Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan has long declined and cannot be compared to our Luotian Royal Family!"

"Elder Yingu is an elder of our Luotian Royal Family and holds far more prestigious status than any elder of the Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan."

Many of the people around Luo Yingu snickered in agreement with him, turning to scorn the decline of the Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan.

Gu Qingyang’s fists clenched tightly, itching to kill.

"Luo Yingu, you’ve gone too far!" Gu Jiuhua shouted, drawing a lot of attention in the Palace of Eternal Life. For those ancestors buried in the Dragon Tomb, he held deep respect and wouldn’t tolerate others’ desecration. He said coldly, "Remember, without the Red Blood Dragon Emperor, our ancestor of the Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan, the Dark Blood Era might not have truly ended, and there might have been no later Luotian Royal Family. Where do you gain the qualification to be compared to our Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan?"

Hearing this, many great powers in the Palace of Eternal Life nodded. Although the Dark Blood Era had ended eons ago, the darkness of that time was deeply recorded in the Ten Thousand Clan’s history.

In those days, thanks to the Heavenly Ancestor Gods sacrificing themselves, the Ten Thousand Clan repelled the Primordial Beast Disaster, establishing the Ancestor God Pass, leading to the stability of future generations and the prosperity of the present.

For those ancestral gods who sacrificed for the living beings and their descendants, even after countless ages, into the present day, all major clans in the world still hold them in reverence.

Seeing the crowd’s reaction, Luo Yingu’s expression changed, not expecting Gu Jiuhua to speak such incisively stirring words.

He darkened and said, "So what if it was like that back then? Now is no longer the Dark Blood Era. It’s the great era ruled by the Emperor Clan and Immortal Clan. Even if another Primordial Beast Disaster arises, the Ten Thousand Clan will not fear. You so-called ancient clans are merely falling into decline, clinging to existence and have no right to survive."

He glanced at the nearby Gu Qingyang, then at Ye Chen and several others, and sneered, "Is this the so-called pride of the Red-scaled Demon Dragon Clan? Just a few weak Heavenly Kings, is it not decline and extinction? Let me show you the talents of my Luotian Royal Family!"

With that, a figure stepped out beside Luo Yingu, appearing tall and imposing, with black hair tied up in a crown, a sharply stern face, brows like a heavenly blade across the sky, eyes gleaming sharply as if the person himself was a heavenly blade, manifesting an unseen, invincible heavenly blade-like might that made even ordinary great powers dare not approach.

On his back, he bore a fearsome battle blade, making him even more unapproachable, exuding intimidating sword energy!

"Ancient Luo King, Luo Wusheng!"

Beside him, Gu Qingyang exclaimed with surprise, evidently recognizing Luo Wusheng. He had to know him because the Luo Wusheng in front of him, like Jiantian of the Bone Heavenly Demon Clan, was ranked among the top hundred talents on the Earthly List, supposedly at the high-level Young Supreme tier, striving to advance to become the Strongest Young Supreme.

It was heard that he had great hopes of achieving the position of the Strongest Young Supreme, qualified to be on par with the Emperor’s sons and daughters from the 108 Ancient Divine Clans and the Immortal Dao heirs.

Facing the Ancient Luo King Luo Wusheng, Gu Qingyang’s entire face turned pale. He felt an indescribable immense pressure, as if countless large mountains were pressing down, making it difficult for him to breathe, his face extremely pale, retreating several steps backwards.

Gu Jiuhua naturally would not allow his offspring to be bullied, stepped forward to confront it and directly countered the pressure but his expression changed as well.

He felt the overwhelming sword energy, emanating completely from within. It was clear with a glance that the Ancient Luo King in front had cultivated the Sword Dao to the Creation Realm. The terrifying sword energy seemed capable of tearing apart an ordinary Great Power’s body, extremely frightening, threatening even more than Hua Yuntian back then.

However, fortunately, he was the Red-scaled Demon Dragon, possessing the Great Power Fifth Layer Heaven, surpassing the opponent and managed to block it directly.

Elder Yingu sneered ominously, "Gu Jiuhua, is this your son? Really pathetic, just a presence of our Ancient Luo King and he retreats. If he faces him head-on, it’s likely he would be killed by our clan’s Ancient Luo King in just one round. He wouldn’t last a single round!"

Gu Jiuhua’s face was grim, yet he had nothing to say because it was indeed the case. Gu Qingyang was only at the Heavenly King Triple Heaven, and the opponent, Ancient Luo King, was at least at the Great Power Third Layer Heaven or beyond, differing by more than a whole Great Realm, incomparable.

"Kill!"

The Ancient Luo King Luo Wusheng coldly exclaimed, ultimately uttering a single word. Suddenly, boundless killing intent erupted. Without drawing the large sword on his back, his eyes momentarily concentrated, a massive sword energy gathered, transforming into an invisible sword that easily tore through the void, swiftly slashing at Gu Qingyang.

"Dare you!"

Gu Jiuhua’s expression changed, intending to block but at this time Elder Yingu obstructed him.

"Elder Yingu!" Gu Jiuhua roared furiously, his entire being erupting in anger, but Elder Yingu coldly replied, "Gu Jiuhua, this is a struggle of the younger generation, do not forget the Ten Thousand Clan Alliance laws!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiuhua’s expression instantly turned pale. The alliance laws stipulated that the elders should not easily intervene in the younger generation’s struggle, otherwise, it would provoke the Ten Thousand Clan’s wrath.

If that happens, the entire Red-scaled Demon Dragon clan might be obliterated.

Gu Jiuhua could not bear such a result.

However, sacrificing his offspring was something Gu Jiuhua equally unwilling to do.

Boom—

The terrifying invisible sword suddenly slashed towards Gu Qingyang’s front. The horrifying sword energy even tore the void, creating a huge space crack, drawing attention from all sides.

"Bullying the weak and the young, isn’t it excessive?"

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly echoed, and then a slender figure appeared in front of Gu Qingyang. It was Ye Chen, facing the imminent sword energy unafraid, stepping forward to shield Gu Qingyang from the terrifying sword energy.

Seeing this scene, many shook their heads in secret. The Ancient Luo King Luo Wusheng, ranked among the top hundred talents on the Earthly List, at least over the Great Power Third Layer Heaven, additionally a high-level Young Supreme, able to contest across two-layered Heaven. Even if Gu Jiuhua himself came forward, he might not be able to combat him, this unfamiliar young man stepping forward was too unwise, certainly a suicidal action.

In many people’s minds, despite some pity, they believed this person was surely doomed.

Yet the next moment shattered all perceptions. Facing the sword energy which even Four-layered Heaven Great Powers needed to be cautious about, Ye Chen merely smiled faintly, softly uttering, "Destroy!"

As if with a spoken word follows, visibly, the terrifying sword energy which could easily fracture the void, suddenly shattered after Ye Chen’s utterance.

Moreover, it shattered silently, as if never existing, without a sound.

The entire audience was dumbfounded!
