The Invincible Dragon Emperor

“Boom~”

Waves were surging higher and higher. Eventually, the island submerged. Dirt and rocks were carried away by the tides. Leng Wushang and others were both frustrated and excited.

The secret area was destroyed, and a treasured land was gone. It indicated that sea change was going on in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God. Many places would be transformed, and some hidden secret areas would be revealed along with many previously unseen treasures.

“Let’s go!”

The island was half gone now. Leng Wushang decided to let go of this secret area and look for a new one and treasures.

Treasure hunting!

For young people and the elderly, powerful treasures were equally attractive. Even Quasi Relics, let alone real Relics, could be the item to be fought over.

All universes had powerful warriors but none had Relics. If any family was in possession of a Relic, the family would not only have the chance toy govern the entire universe it was at, but would also have the chance to unify all universes.

Leng Wushang took the lead and ran upstream. He wanted to see what was going on upstream that had led to the flood and waves.

Everyone sped up. They walked on without taking out their Beads of Life. Even traveling on foot, they could be as fast as warriors at the initial stage of the Noble Lord Realm. They had to slow down for Lu Li’s sake or else they could reach the speed of the later stage of the Noble Lord Realm.

“Boom, boom, boom~”

They were on the way for six hours, but the river hadn’t calmed down yet. They were getting more and more excited with each passing moment. It had been a great change, so something huge must have been going on upstream. Some valuable artifact could be emerging.

It was 10 hours later!

Finally, waves were dying down in the river. Leng Wushang yelled, “Speed up. I think we are almost there.”

Leng Tianba threw Lu Li who was at the back of the team a look. Leng Tianba grabbed Lu Li with one hand and lifted him up. Lu Li grinned. He would rather be carried. In this way, he didn’t have to worry about triggering some Inhibition Formations.

They picked up their speed. Leng Wuxin carried Leng Wumi, and they were traveling along the stream times faster than before.

“Boom, boom, boom~”

They heard some explosion ahead of them after an hour. Leng Wushuang, who was at the front of the team, waved everyone to stop. He listened in for a while and said with a frown, “Eight people are fighting. Four Earth Immortal Realm warriors and four Human Sovereign Realm warriors.”

“Four Earth Immortal Realm warriors?”

Leng Wushang and Leng Wuxin frowned. Those warriors must be from two super families or else there wouldn’t be two Earth Immortal Realm warriors on each side.

“I will go and have a look!”

Leng Wushuang signaled Leng Tianba and then sneaked ahead by himself. He could not use psychic power in here, and haze was around him. Only by approaching could he tell which families those warriors were from.

Leng Wushang and the others stayed put. They could afford to wait a bit longer—better to take an action after thorough preparation. They waited for the time for one incense stick to burn before Leng Wushuang came back. He told them, “Two super families from the Mage Imperial Universe are fighting. A new secret realm has been discovered. It is inside a cave. The two families should be fighting over the cave.”

“From the Mage Imperial Universe?”

Leng Wushang knew this was trouble. People from the Mage Imperial Universe was the last he wanted to face with. He shared the same feeling toward the Mage Imperial Universe with warriors from the other two major universes as well.

Warriors from the Mage Imperial Universe were regarded as maniacs. Once offended, they wouldn’t let go until one side was wiped out. They would chase their enemies around unless they were killed…

“Mage Imperial Universe!”

Lu Li noted down Leng Wumi’s explanation. Warriors from the Mage Imperial Universe could be a nice instrument of murder. He might be able to leverage their help.

“There is only one cave here?”

Leng Wushang asked and Leng Wushuang nodded. Leng Wushang waved his hand and said, “Then let’s go around. Don’t clash with the warriors from Mage Imperial Universe. We will go further upstream.”

The others nodded in agreement. Clearly, none of them hoped to be involved with the warriors from the Mage Imperial Universe. They took a detour and then moved on upstream.

After the ancient Inhibition Formations were triggered, many places in the Forbidden Ground changed. Newly appeared secret areas must be more than one. It was unnecessary to obsess over one place.

They marched on for an entire day before they came to a stop this time. They had finally found a new place.

There was a mountain up head at the river!

In the Forbidden Ground of Elder God, it was mostly plains and forests. Rarely had any mountain ever appeared. According to records of the Leng Family, there was no known mountain. The suddenly-emerged mountain must be housing a treasured land.

“There is a cave!”

Leng Tianba’s discovery excited the others. They could see, through the mist, a small cave in a corner. The opening of the cave was only big enough for one person to go through.

“There are definitely treasures here!”

Leng Wumi shouted. Usually, with the appearance of a new cave, there would be newly found treasures. The Leng Family had obtained at least more than a dozen Quasi Relics from the Forbidden Ground of Elder God.

Leng Wushang threw Leng Tianba a look. The latter dashed toward the cave at a fast speed. Lu Li became envious of him.

But how dare he fight for treasure against an Earth Immortal Realm warrior from the Leng Family? He didn’t have the ability. Even if he could acquire the treasure, Leng Wuxin would take it from him eventually.

Leng Tianba took the lead and dashed in. At the opening of the cave, Leng Wushang said to Lu Li with a smile, “Brother Lu, you wait here with Sister Wuxin and Wumi. Caves like this usually mean extreme danger. We will go in and take a look. We will share the treasures equally if there are any.”

Leng Wushang stepped in with Leng Wushuang and Leng Buji. Lu Li sneered secretly. There was no equal share. The good stuff would all be put away by the Leng Family.

“Brother Wushang, I want to take a look as well!”

Leng Wumi was young and restless. Naturally, she wouldn’t wait outside. If she went in and found something suitable to her taste, she could just ask for it. Waiting outside wouldn’t get her anything.

Leng Wumi went in, but Leng Wuxin didn’t move. Lu Li was getting anxious. He thought about it and egged her on, “Lady Wuxin, why don’t we go and take a look?”

Leng Wuxin threw him a look, a cold look, but said nothing. Lu Li continued, “What if there are Relics? We cannot let them take everything, right?”

“Slap~”

Leng Wuxin slapped Lu Li on the face and smashed him away. He crawled back up with shock in his eyes. She snorted and said, “Young Master Lu, don’t ever forget who you are. If you are to say such inappropriate things again, I will kill you. Believe me.”

Leng Wuxin seemed to be saying that he was being disrespectful to her, but her underlying message was clear—she was reminding Lu Li not to forget about his real identity and not to think too highly of himself. For Leng Wuxin, he was nothing other than a dog, a dog that could bite for her.

Lu Li’s face was burning up. Killing intent was surging in his heart. It was the first time he was ever slapped on the face, and he was hit by a woman. The humiliation almost made him lose his mind.

“Phew~”

He breathed and pushed down the killing intent. He forced a smile. He realized he was somehow…eaten up with success. He seemed to have forgotten the real situation.

The slap woke him up!

He was just a dog on a leash controlled by Leng Wuxin, a dog that could be killed by his master at any time.

Leng Wuxin seemed to be polite, but she had never really treated him as a real person. He was only her instrument and a disposable one no less. If he behaved, she might throw him a bone.

Because of the Token of the Blood Emperor, he was treated nicely in the Leng Family. Even the most important young master, the future crown prince, was kind to him. Lu Li realized he had regarded himself as the apprentice of the Blood Emperor. He mistakenly thought he was important. He had forgotten about the reality and the fatal danger hiding…

“Lu Li, wake up! You are dancing on a blade. One wrong move and you will be ripped open.”

Lu Li closed his eyes and scolded himself. Lu Ling, Bai Qiuxue, and all the others were waiting for him to come back. When the 10 years time was up, the four forces would swarm into the Clouds Plains, Serenity Plains, and the Northern Desert. Millions of civilians and warriors would be murdered.

If the Deserted World could not be sealed off or if the four forces send over troops earlier, then nobody in the Deserted World could live. Lu Ling, Bai Qiuxue, Lu Feixue, Ming Yu, Bai Xiashuang, and more would become cold dead bodies…
