Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 693: Chapter 691: Cutting off the Path to the Origin!

While Su Han was plundering the Origin and used a secret technique to resist being bombarded by a palm—

In the Milky Way Starry Sky, within a Lower-Class Star Region, lies the Netherworld Sea Star.

The Milky Way Starry Sky is divided into Three Great Star Domains, and above those is the most pinnacle, the Holy Domain.

Both the Three Great Star Domains and the Holy Domain are filled with countless stars, and each star harbors countless planets.

The Netherworld Sea Star is one of the Nine Great Stars within the Lower-Class Star Region.

At this moment, on the Netherworld Sea Star, within a certain mountain range, sat a middle-aged man dressed in a purple robe, cross-legged inside a cave mansion.

Around his cave mansion lay a series of severed heads, even beneath him, several heads were sat in meditation pose.

All of these heads had their eyes wide open, mouths ajar, as if they had been drained of blood, somewhat desiccated.

It seemed as though they had experienced great terror before their death, and also appeared to have died with deep regrets, unwilling to close their eyes.

The middle-aged man was practicing cultivation, with his eyes tightly shut, and in front of him was a bolt of purple thunder.

This was the Thunder and Lightning Law, which in terms of grade could only be considered middle lower-class, not even reaching middle-class status.

But this was a bolt of Tribulation Thunder, far stronger than ordinary thunder. Even middle-class thunder couldn’t compare.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, gazing at the thunder in front of him with a slight frown on his brow.

”What’s the matter? I’m so restless and uneasy, I can’t fathom it at all,” muttered the middle-aged man. ”This feeling, it’s like... I’ve lost something? Impossible, all my kin have long since perished, my dear friends have been wiped out too, and for my cultivation, I killed them with my own hands, showing mercy to none. Emotion means nothing to me anymore, what else could I possibly lose?”

...

Similarly, within another planet in a Lower-Class Star Region—

The place looked like a cluster of palaces, extremely prosperous, resembling an imperial palace with countless cultivators moving about or purchasing items.

Inside one of the palaces, an old man wearing a crown sat cross-legged with several women by his side, who had turned into mummies. It was evident that they had been used by the elder as furnace vessels.

The old man extended his hand, floating above it was a bolt of ice-blue thunder, also Tribulation Thunder.

”Hahaha, after living for thirty thousand years and enduring three hundred and fifty-six tribulation crossings, I’ve finally obtained a wisp of Tribulation Thunder!” boomed the old man with a laugh. ”This Tribulation Thunder has been nurtured with the souls of the coldest women, irrigated with their blood; although this method of refining is somewhat cruel, those who achieve great deeds aren’t confined by trivialities! Once it’s completely integrated into my body, I will possess the road to understanding the ways of the Tribulation Thunder, and then I shall use this Tribulation Thunder to break through the Lower-Class Spirit Immortal!”

As soon as these words fell, the elder’s laughter abruptly stopped.

”What’s going on? What have I lost?”

His eyes bulged as he waved his hand, grasping a handful of Lifeblood Crystals out of thin air.

He examined them closely, and they were all intact.

Following that, he ordered a check on his possessions stored in the Imperial Treasury, and found that nothing was missing.

Yet he felt as though he had lost something, but what it was that he’d lost, he did not know.

Indeed, he did not know, because what he’d lost wasn’t tangible, but an illusion.

What he had lost... was the path to his research on the Tribulation Thunder Law!

...

As the pinnacle realm within the Milky Way Starry Sky, the splendor of the Holy Domain goes without saying.

The Holy Domain is vast, comparable to the combined area of the Three Great Star Domains, occupying nearly one-tenth of the Milky Way Starry Sky.

In the very center of the Holy Domain, there is a high mountain that rises thirty million zhang tall. Legend says that standing at the peak, one can see the world beyond the Milky Way Starry Sky.

This mountain was called — the Supreme Peak!

Originally, it was known as ’Sovereign Peak’, a name given by Su Han when he was the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor.

However, after Su Han’s fall, Yuan Ling took control of the Holy Domain, and the place was renamed ’Supreme Peak’.

Beneath the Supreme Peak, endless cultivators clad in armor could be seen, among which three types of armor were particularly striking: purple gold, purple silver, and purple jade.

The people wearing these three types of armor were known as — the Purple Gold Army, the Purple Silver Army, and the Purple Jade Army!

These were the three strongest army corps in the entire Milky Way Starry Sky, and any member of them was considered a shocking heavenly talent. To join them, one not only needed a formidable cultivation base but also exceptional aptitude and an illustrious family background!

A saying circulated within the Holy Domain — to control the Three Great Legions was to control the whole Holy Domain, not just because of the legions’ battle power but also because of their backgrounds.

Any member of the Three Great Legions came from an extremely powerful family, and to rule these people meant ruling the forces behind them!

This was the reason why Yuan Ling started with the Three Great Legions during his rebellion.

Once the Three Great Legions turned traitor, integrating the Holy Domain, which Su Han once controlled, would be much simpler.

At the ten million zhang height of Supreme Peak, there existed a thatched cottage.

Looking around, despite already being very high at ten million zhang, the Supreme Peak was still immense.

And in such an immense territory, there was only a solitary thatched cottage.

Inside this thatched cottage, a figure sat cross-legged.

The face of the figure was obscured by a haze, making it indistinct. The most noticeable part of the figure was the chest area.

There was a huge hole in the chest, as if it had been punctured directly by a fist, and you could even see the imprints of five fingers.

If you stood in front, you could see to the figure’s back through the hole.

Although there was no blood, it imparted a sense of terror that was intense and chilling to the bone.

This person was Yuan Ling, the terrifying powerhouse who now controlled the entire Holy Domain and the entire Milky Way Starry Sky. With the Realm of the Sovereign, he forcibly turned the tide in the Holy Domain, having the galaxy beneath his command.

Yuan Ling!

”Who is it!!!”

The colossal roar spread throughout the ten million zhang heights of Supreme Peak, causing everyone below who heard it to tremble, blood seeping from their ears, and even their souls seemed to shiver faintly.

”Who severed my Tribulation Thunder Road, who stole my Tribulation Thunder Origin, who is it!!!”

With Yuan Ling’s roar, countless people knelt down, seemingly overwhelmed by extreme fear.

After all, being in the Sovereign Realm, he almost immediately realized that his Tribulation Thunder Road had been severed by someone.

Unlike Su Han who won people over with virtue, Yuan Ling ruled with force!

During the time Yuan Ling ruled, anyone who dared to defy him was mercilessly killed, causing widespread fear and unease every day.

Indeed, this approach had its advantages: no one dared to go against his will, whatever he said was law!

However, whether such a state of affairs was ultimately good or bad for Yuan Ling in the long run, nobody knew.
