Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 287: Chapter 286 Holy Lord!!!

“Su Han…”

Upon hearing this name, Long Lie couldn’t help but step back a few paces, his breathing quickened, his heart thundered, and he looked at Su Han in disbelief, as if he had seen the most astonishing thing in the world.

“No… No…”

Long Lie shook his head, unable to believe it.

In this world, many people share the same name, but the name ‘Su Han’ was different.

In the entire Star Region, the entire Holy Domain, everyone knew of the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, but no one knew the true name of the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor.

...

Only a limited number of people were privy to this information, including Long Lie.

“So what if your name is Su Han?” Long Lie suddenly retorted. ℯ

“It seems you still don’t believe…”

Su Han shook his head, knowing that Long Lie would not believe him, even though he knew that in the previous life, the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor was named Su Han!

After a slight ponder, Su Han said, “It must have been when you were ten years old, the Long Family encountered a great disaster, attacked by many Grand Powers, all because of the Long Family’s Supreme Treasure, the Dragon-Seeking Map.”

“Many people in the Holy Domain know of this event; it does not prove your identity,” Long Lie said.

Su Han didn’t pay attention to him but instead continued, “At that time, I took action, exterminating the Deputy Palace Master of the Seven Flowers Palace, slaying the Netherworld Wheel Dharma King of the Extreme Night Sea, and sealing the Seven Great Demonic Beasts of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.”

“If I’m not mistaken, to this day, those Seven Great Demonic Beasts of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect are still within the Long Family, right?”

Long Lie’s body shook, and he fell silent.

Because Su Han was right, those Seven Great Demonic Beasts had been refined by him, their minds erased, reducing them to puppet-like creatures, serving the Long Family.

“It was from that year onward that you gradually rose, like a dazzling new star, bursting forth onto the scene.”

Su Han continued, “Everyone was curious about what terms the Long Family offered me to lend a hand, but the Long Family never disclosed it. You should be the most aware of those terms.”

“What terms?” Long Lie asked further.

Those terms, he was very clear about, and in the entire Holy Domain, only the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor and the Long Family knew, and they had never been divulged.

“At that time, the Long Family brought out the Dragon-Seeking Map and allowed me to use it for a thousand years,” Su Han said.

Long Lie’s pupils dilated sharply, and he stepped back several more paces, the doubt in his eyes dissipating somewhat, replaced by belief.

“But later, I didn’t take the Dragon-Seeking Map with me because it is the Long Family’s Supreme Treasure. With this object, the Long Family could rise again, and with this object… the Long Family can truly be called the Long Family!” Su Han said.

Long Lie remained silent.

The entire Holy Domain knew that the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor had perished, his soul dissipated, never to return.

That is why the current Holy Lord was able to demonstrate his strength, dominate the present era with unparalleled methods, intimidating the entire Holy Domain, causing the God-Slaying Pavilion to crumble, and leading all those associated with the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor to be hunted down.

Although people like Long Lie were reluctant to believe it, they had no choice but to accept the truth, because if the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor were still alive, he would definitely not watch idly as the Holy Domain was seized and those former close subordinates and good friends were killed without showing any concern.

It was for this reason that Long Lie had always doubted Su Han.

Because the current Su Han, compared to the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor he had known, had an immensely inferior cultivation base.

The Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor had suppressed the Holy Domain for tens of millions of years, a being worshipped as a Divine Spirit by all, with his presence ensuring the Holy Domain’s eternal existence.

And Su Han…

Not to mention standing out in the Holy Domain, even to Long Lie, he was nothing more than an ant that could be easily crushed to death.

“I do recall an interesting matter.”

Su Han seemed to recall something and looked at Long Lie with a teasing smile, “It seems that when you were twelve, you ran to the God-Slaying Pavilion and boasted that you would pee on my head. Afterward, you were caught by the Purple Gold Army and brought before me. I wanted to cut off certain parts of you, and you cried out of fear for three days and nights.”

If Long Lie had some doubts about Su Han before this revelation, at this moment, he completely believed him.

Because this incident was known only to him and the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor.

It was also the most embarrassing event of his life so far.

If he could go back to his previous life, back to the Holy Domain, Su Han bringing up this matter would have surely enraged Long Lie.

But at this moment, Long Lie’s eyes suddenly turned blood red. There was no hint of anger on his face, only excitement, trembling, and an indescribable complex mix of emotions.

“Holy Lord…”

Long Lie walked slowly forward, his gaze fixed intently on Su Han as if every step took a tremendous effort.

At this moment, with each step he took, scenes from the time when the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor existed surfaced in his mind.

Ever since the fall of the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, those scenes had haunted him like nightmares in his mind.

Even though Long Lie’s cultivation base was powerful enough to annihilate worlds, he still awoke from these nightmares countless times.

He thought that the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor had truly fallen and would never appear again.

He thought that his own endless search would always be fruitless.

He thought that the figure who was to him like a teacher, a father, and a brother, had truly gone forever.

“Holy Lord!!!”

Long Lie suddenly raised his head and let out a primal scream, his resolute eyes no longer firm as tears gushed forth like a tide.

These crystal-clear tears fell, each drop turning into rivers that flowed unceasingly, as if accumulated over countless years.

“You are so steadfast; you don’t cry,” Su Han said, reaching out to gently wipe away Long Lie’s tears with a smile. “You also once promised me that after those three days and nights, you would never cry again, didn’t you?”

“I won’t cry, I won’t cry…” Long Lie choked, trying hard not to let himself cry, but the tears kept coming, involuntarily.

Lian Yuze and the others watched with disbelief. They couldn’t imagine that the man who had just shown such formidable strength was now crying like a child.

At the same time, Su Han’s status in their hearts rose immeasurably.

They felt that only Su Han could make such a resolute man cry to this extent.

…

Long Lie cried for a full half an hour.

A full half an hour.

Even when he had heard of the fall of the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, he had not shed a tear, merely showing a composed expression—no one knew what thoughts were in his heart.

These tears had truly been held back for far too long.

He tried to stop them, but couldn’t.

Below the crowd, a huge lake appeared, following the cracks on the ground and spreading far into the distance, its destination unknown.

This lake was formed by Long Lie’s tears.

His cultivation base was truly too mighty; a single tear could gather rivers, and a flick of his finger could shatter mountains and rivers.
