Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 359: Chapter 357 Imperial Capital

The Super Sects were located at the very heart of the Dragon Martial Continent, and the center of the Dragon Martial Continent was also the region with the richest spiritual energy.

It is said that each of the headquarters of the Top Ten Super Sects was built upon a Dragon Vein.

It is a Dragon Vein, not a Spirit Vein!

Spirit Veins are comprised of Spirit Stones, but Dragon Veins, according to legends, were formed from the bloodlines of True Dragons that had perished there, eventually transforming into Dragon Veins.

With such Dragon Veins, the headquarters of those Super Sects could truly be called blessed lands. Even some disciples with extremely high talent, or incredibly good fortune, might receive the inheritance of a Giant Dragon.

Of course, this was merely a legend.

Such inheritances were so rare that not even one might appear in tens of thousands of years; not even the Super Sects took them seriously.

The center of the Dragon Martial Continent was called the Central Domain, which was billions of miles away from Yuanshan County. Even a Dragon God, at full speed, would need several years to travel from Yuanshan County to the Central Domain.

In the north of the Central Domain were two Super Sects, one being the Jade Void Palace and the other the Immortal Dao Court.

Surrounding these two Super Sects were twenty First-Class Sects, each under the jurisdiction of either the Immortal Dao Court or the Jade Void Palace.

This time, Su Han’s first target was the Jade Void Palace!

The destruction of the God-Slaying Pavilion was greatly related to the Jade Void Palace.

Though many Super Sects were involved at that time, the Jade Void Palace had deployed Grand Elder Yuanling, a Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouse. With several strikes, he shattered the Formation of the God-Slaying Pavilion, demolished many of their buildings, and obliterated the entire Sect Residence and many disciples of the God-Slaying Pavilion.

Su Han was a vengeful person; he was not entirely fearless, or else he would not have stood at the pinnacle of the Holy Domain in his previous life.

Those who stand at the pinnacle use no heroes, all of them are formidable leaders!

Even in the deserted Dragon Martial Continent, strength was paramount. To aim higher, one must stand atop others, and those beneath also sought to contest the heights, leaving only one method—kill!

During his time in the Gate of Deer Chasing, it was Dao Ye who first offended Su Han, repeatedly causing trouble for him, and eventually captured Shangguan Mingxin to threaten Su Han.

Su Han had spared Dao Ye once out of consideration for Princess Yin Luoxuan of Peace, but Dao Ye intensified his efforts, using a Holy Spirit-level weapon to ambush Su Han and was ultimately slain by him.

Both morally and emotionally, Su Han felt he had done no wrong.

Yet despite this, Grand Elder Yuanling of the Jade Void Palace, relying on his strong cultivation base, despised the world and nearly destroyed the God-Slaying Pavilion with the power of the Dragon Emperor.

With Su Han’s character, if he could endure, then he would not be called Su Han!

…

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

Winter had arrived, with cold pervading everywhere. The void was covered in dense clouds and soon, massive snowflakes began fluttering down.

In the Dongling Kingdom, a thousand miles from the Imperial Capital, a figure clad in white, as if stepping out of a painting, approached step by step.

His clothes were lightweight, his long hair fluttered, and though snowflakes fell upon him, they quickly melted.

His body was not wet in the slightest.

After three months of constant travel, Su Han had only just reached the Imperial Capital of Dongling Kingdom.

And yet, from the Imperial Capital of the Dongling Kingdom to the center of the Dragon Martial Continent, there were still billions of miles to go, and according to Su Han’s estimation, it would take at least another three years to arrive.

However, Su Han had never intended to attack the Super Sects directly; as Shen Li had said, with his current cultivation base, he truly was no match for those Super Sects. If he were to rush in recklessly, it would be suicide.

“If I could reach the level of a Magic Saint, apart from the Dragon Venerate, no one else on the Dragon Martial Continent would be my match,” Su Han muttered to himself.

But as it was easy to say, reaching the level of a Magic Saint was extremely difficult.

As of now, he was merely a Fifth Order Grand Magus; in the past three months, Su Han had been constantly on the move, absorbing magic elements, but his status as a Fifth Order Grand Magus hadn’t wavered in the slightest.

Above the fifth order, there were the sixth and the seventh orders.

Let alone a Magic Saint, just a Seventh-Order Grand Magus could likely sweep across the entire Dragon Martial Continent.

In these three months, Su Han hadn’t absorbed a speck of nature’s spiritual energy. Sometimes, when passing through places rich in nature’s spiritual energy, countless quantities would try to surge into his body, but he always refused them entry.

The next realm in his cultivation as a martial artist would be the Dragon Pill Realm, and he didn’t want to condense his own dragon pill using nature’s spiritual energy.

Or rather, he didn’t want to condense it with this impure nature’s spiritual energy!

“With my current magic cultivation, if I wish to break through to the sixth order, nothing less than finding a vein of demon crystal stones and directly devouring it would suffice!”

Su Han said softly to himself, “Even then, a vein of demon crystal stones might not be enough for me to break through.”

Having been a Third-Order Magic God in his previous life, he naturally knew how difficult it was for a Fifth Order Grand Magus to break through to the sixth order.

“Is this the Imperial Capital of the Dongling Kingdom? It certainly is much more bustling than Yuanshan County and those other county cities,” he observed.

Su Han took a deep breath, not thinking about his cultivation for the moment, and raised his eyes to look into the distance.

Within his line of sight, an astonishing giant structure rose from the ground like a fearsome giant beast crouching there; just one glance at it evoked reverence.

Human power is always so miraculously brilliant that even a strong being from the Dragon God Realm would need a long time to build such a vast city.

Outside the Imperial Capital, countless figures came and went. Walking among them, Su Han sensed many auras, hundreds of which belonged to those in the Dragon God Realm.

“In Yuanshan County, those in the Dragon God Realm could shake the entire county with a stomp, but here, they are as common as blades of grass,” Su Han shook his head and chuckled.

He slowly walked, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the city’s great gate.

There are four entrances to the Imperial Capital from the east, west, north, and south; at this moment, Su Han was at the East Gate.

The closer one got to the Imperial Capital, the more one could feel the astonishing pressure emanating from above the entire city.

Su Han expanded his divine sense, covering tens of thousands of miles around him, and saw dense red dots appear within that range.

Each red dot represented a powerful being at the peak of the Dragon God Realm, and there were dozens of such dots.

However, Su Han’s divine sense was of the magic realm; with his cultivation as a Fifth Order Grand Magus, no one could sense it.

“Not too bad.”

Su Han smiled, arriving before the East Gate.

“Entering the city?” a guard asked.

“Yes,” Su Han nodded slightly.

“To enter the city, you need to pay a hundred spirit stones. Inside the city, do not fight, do not break the rules, or you will be killed without mercy!” the guard said coldly.
