Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 845: Chapter 844: The Battle of True Powerhouses!

The title ”Zun,” when associated with the Dragon Venerate Realm, is necessary, but for someone like Su Han, it must be willingly honored by others.

There was no official certificate or document issued for this title. Those who recognized him would respectfully address him as Su Zun, while those who did not would still just call him Su Han.

At this moment, in the vast plaza of Dragon Martial City, apart from the Five Great Super Sects, countless forces and countless figures were all shaken to their cores, overwhelmed with emotion.

They had witnessed the birth of a Venerable One, witnessed the emergence of the name ”Su Zun”!

”Su Zun!”

”Su Zun!!!”

Countless voices erupted, roaring thunderously, with wave after wave of deafening cheers. Though they didn’t utter any additional words, it felt as if they were lending their strength and encouragement to Su Han.

Du Yuehui, Yuani Ling, and others had faces dark with suppressed fury, almost dripping with their bottled rage.

With so many people chanting, even though their anger burned hot within, it was useless; surely, they couldn’t kill everyone, could they?

And putting aside whether they had such thoughts—they simply weren’t capable!

At this moment, the crowd’s emotions were at a fever pitch. Should they provoke public outrage, even as super sects, the consequences would be unbearable.

Only they understood best that the name ”Su Zun”—they themselves had brought it into existence!

Had they not orchestrated such an attack, how would the people be so stirred? And if Su Han truly survived this ordeal, no matter where he traveled from now on, the name ”Su Zun” would follow him. His speed of growth would undoubtedly accelerate even further!

Therefore...

He must die!!!

They were the creators of Su Zun’s emergence, and they could just as well snuff out Su Zun’s existence!

”Where is the Mad Immortal of the Immortal Dao Court? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?!” Yuani Ling transmitted his thoughts across thousands of miles; his tone was extremely agitated.

”Why are you yelling at me?”

Du Yuehui furrowed his brows and retorted coldly, ”Can’t you see I’m trying every possible way to suppress this Seven-Colored Famous Bird? This isn’t outside my Immortal Dao Court’s gates after all; how could the Mad Immortal’s speed be so quick?”

Upon hearing this, Yuani Ling stopped speaking.

Du Yuehui wasn’t wrong—even if the Mad Immortal intended to rush here, it would require some time.

”Han Yunlai, Liushui Qingya, what are you waiting for?!” Yuani Ling shouted again into the void.

No reply came. Instead, two terrifying attacks descended without hesitation.

The first attack was an earth-shattering Sword Light, spanning fifty thousand feet in length, slashing down from the void and fragmenting it completely. It rushed directly at Su Han with devastating power.

The second attack was a giant fist.

The fist was pale and smooth, clearly unleashed by Liushui Qingya. No longer aged as it appeared before, it seemed rejuvenated, as though youth had returned. The translucent flesh glowed with crystalline clarity, and the unfathomable force housed within drew an awe-inspiring trajectory through the void, inciting a deafening roar of destruction.

Han Yunlai and Liushui Qingya had finally made their move!

These two—one a Earth Ancestor of the Sect of the Battle God, the other a Lower-Class Bloodline Master of Giant Island—were both at the Early Stage of Dragon Emperor Realm. Their strikes were executed without any intention other than killing!

Su Han’s expression changed. These attacks from the two were nothing short of terrifying. If he were to confront them head-on, he might be able to withstand the assault, but he would definitely suffer injuries.

Even if he used the Power of Lifespan, due to his cultivation base still being too low, he remained no match for the pair!

This moment sharpened Su Han’s desperation to raise his cultivation base even further, but this was merely wishful thinking. Cultivation wasn’t something that could be increased at a whim. If it truly were as simple as wishing for it, the Dragon Martial Continent would undoubtedly be flooded with Dragon Venerates roaming everywhere.

Just as Su Han was preparing to resist, a detached voice suddenly resonated.

”You all couldn’t hold back anymore, could you?”

With the sound of that voice, a tall figure slowly emerged, standing in front of Su Han.

This was a middle-aged man whose mere appearance sent shockwaves through Su Han’s heart.

The shock didn’t come from who this person was, but rather from the fact that Su Han hadn’t sensed his arrival at all!

Fortunately, as Su Han clearly saw the man’s face, relief washed over him.

This tall figure was none other than Nangong Chenfeng!

As for Nangong Yu and Liuyun, they had already left the Dragon Martial Continent with haste following the Sect Competition. As to where they had gone, Su Han did not know.

Evidently, One Slash Palace feared that Yuani Ling and the others would become rabid enough to abandon all scruples in their efforts to kill Su Han, even daring to target Nangong Yu and the others.

After all, members of the Phoenix Sect were aligned with those of One Slash Palace. Yuani Ling’s primary target was Su Han, but if they ultimately failed to kill him, there was a chance they might vent their frustrations on Liuyun and the rest.

Retreating was the wisest move for both One Slash Palace and the Phoenix Sect.

Moreover, when they departed, the Five Great Super Sects did not obstruct them.

First, One Slash Palace’s reputation preceded it. Unless absolutely necessary, they didn’t want to make enemies of One Slash Palace.

Although One Slash Palace had made its stance to protect Su Han very clear, they hadn’t acted overtly—at least not yet.

Even if they did eventually intervene, it didn’t mean full-scale war was inevitable. The other super sects genuinely feared One Slash Palace from the depths of their hearts.

Second, their true target remained Su Han.

To them, what did Liuyun and the others matter?

Everyone knew Su Han was the genuine backbone of the Phoenix Sect, the authentic soul, the divine-like figure among them!

If Su Han were killed, the Phoenix Sect, bereft of its central pillar and lacking Su Han—their ”Grand Stronger”—would crumble swiftly!

They planned to deal with Su Han first, and then annihilate the Phoenix Sect. This was the unified mindset of the Five Great Super Sects.

”Get back!”

Nangong Chenfeng, standing in front of Su Han, displayed an icy expression as he flipped his hand, revealing a purplish-red long knife.

The blade remained sheathed, its exact color hidden from view, but even the sheath alone far surpassed what any Purple Gold-grade weapon could achieve.

Nangong Chenfeng did not unsheathe the blade. He merely swung the sheath, and a loud tearing sound echoed as the space in front of him ripped apart. Two fissures branched outward from the center, racing toward Han Yunlai’s Sword Light and Liushui Qingya’s fist.

”Go,” he instructed Su Han while unleashing his attack.

Su Han offered no words of gratitude. Instead, he nodded briskly, stepped forward, and darted away at great speed.

Behind him, two deafening explosions resounded. Han Yunlai’s fifty-thousand-foot Sword Light shattered entirely upon hitting the advancing spatial fissures, erupting in a deafening boom!

As for Liushui Qingya’s fist, it also exploded instantly. Within that detonation, a colossal figure, towering three hundred feet tall, was forcibly thrust out of the void.

That three-hundred-foot form was Liushui Qingya!

Among Giant Island’s most formidable assets, the Giant Spirit Body was one of their defining features. Upon assuming this form, their strength increased significantly, regardless of their cultivation level. The more advanced their cultivation base, the greater the boost.

With Liushui Qingya’s Dragon Emperor Realm Early Stage cultivation, transforming into the Giant Spirit Body didn’t elevate him to the Mid Stage of the Dragon Emperor Realm, but it made him exceedingly powerful. Yet even so, Nangong Chenfeng drove him back several steps!

And remarkably... Nangong Chenfeng hadn’t even unsheathed his blade!
