Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 882: Chapter 881: After the Event

At this point, Su Han gazed deeply at Liuu Tianyuan, knowing that the latter understood his intentions.

Liuu Tianyuan indeed could empathize with Su Han’s feelings.

Love, that sort of thing—no one can say for sure.

Back then, Su Han fell deeply, irreversibly in love with Liuu Qingyao.

Yet, this love was labeled as a ”doomed relationship.” At that time, it seemed as though all heaven and earth disapproved; wherever they went, anyone who recognized them would sneer with disdain.

Only Liuu Tianyuan, as Liuu Qingyao’s elder brother, didn’t object. On the contrary, he encouraged the two lovers.

At the moment they decided to elope, they had already made up their minds: they would rather die than be separated!

They were genuinely prepared to face death. Death didn’t scare them; what they wanted wasn’t merely survival—it was acceptance from others!

At that time, the whole world had only one person who accepted them, and that person was Liuu Tianyuan!

More importantly was Liuu Tianyuan’s identity—he was Liuu Qingyao’s elder brother, her only brother.

If it had been someone else, Su Han would feel gratitude, but not as deeply as he did then. At that time, he had never imagined that anyone from the Liuu Family would accept his love with Liuu Qingyao.

”I’ve said it before: back then, I was just a Spirit Realm junior from a Lower-Class Star Region—like an ant in your eyes.”

”Neither my cultivation base nor my aptitude, nor anything about me, caught your eye.”

”The playful smiles I showed you were actually a disguise for the respect and fear I felt inside. I was grateful to you, but I couldn’t repay you.”

”I couldn’t repay you then, nor can I repay you now.”

Su Han let out a bitter laugh and continued, ”Fortunately, I am no longer who I was then. I was once the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor; I once held power over the Milky Way. Though I have been reincarnated, my memories remain. These two cultivation techniques, which to others may seem extraordinarily precious and worth fighting desperately for—if I gave them both to you, so what?”

”Because... you are my elder brother, my only elder brother!”

The words ”elder brother” carried heavy emphasis as Su Han spoke, filled with gratitude that Liuu Tianyuan could easily perceive.

”Actually, everything you’ve done—I know it all.”

Liuu Tianyuan sighed and said, ”I remember clearly how the Liuu Family faced disaster multiple times and yet was helped again and again by benefactors. Everyone speculated about their identities, but I knew, and the Liuu Family knew, those benefactors were members of the Purple Gold Army, the Purple Silver Army, and the Purple Jade Army—the Three Great Legions.”

”After your strength and status surpassed those of the Liuu Family, you secretly helped us countless times. We were aware of this.”

”That’s different.”

Su Han shook his head. ”Helping the Liuu Family was for Qingyao; giving you cultivation techniques is because you are my elder brother!”

”Elder brother...”

”Hahahaha!”

Liuu Tianyuan burst into laughter. ”Kid, don’t think that just because you’re appealing to my emotions and reason here, I’ll forget everything you’ve said to me. Remember your promise—next time you see me, if you don’t bring Qingyao with you, don’t call me elder brother!”

Su Han didn’t reply but nodded firmly.

”As for these two cultivation techniques...”

Liuu Tianyuan eyed them for a long moment. Only as his figure began to dissipate did he exclaim, ”They’re so tempting! Frankly, I want both. Don’t call me greedy—it’s probably impossible to find anyone in this world who wouldn’t want them. If someone says they don’t, I’d smack them to death—do you believe me?”

Su Han chuckled softly, shaking his head, but he couldn’t deny the truth in Liuu Tianyuan’s words.

Whether it was the Demon Dragon Emperor Technique or Nerves of God Suppression, possessing even one of them could bring someone fortune enough to ascend to the heavens.

Anyone who claimed otherwise was only lying.

”To be honest, someone as abnormal as you could obtain such opportunities and simultaneously cultivate both techniques. As for us mere mortals, being able to cultivate even one is already a monumental blessing.” Liuu Tianyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The Demon Dragon Emperor Technique and Nerves of God Suppression cannot be cultivated simultaneously; this is widely known.

This wasn’t limited to just these two techniques—any top-ten ranked cultivation technique in the Holy Domain could only be cultivated one at a time. Trying to cultivate two simultaneously could lead to significant risk of going berserk; even if greedy for such techniques, no one would take that gamble.

In his reincarnation, Su Han even wondered whether it was his simultaneous cultivation of these two techniques that caused him to go berserk.

But the conclusion he reached was... it wasn’t.

Still, one thing must be acknowledged: greed should have its bounds. Although Su Han didn’t go berserk due to these two techniques, it was his simultaneous cultivation of martial arts and magic, and his reckless attempt to fully fuse the two, that led to his downfall. Otherwise, why would he have perished and fallen to his current state?

”If you say you’re giving them to me, of course, I’d choose both. Even if I don’t cultivate them myself, I’d pass them on to others in the future. Imagine who could bear such a favor?”

As Liuu Tianyuan spoke, his figure grew fainter, nearing complete dissolution.

”No time left,” Su Han reminded him.

”I know. What’s your rush?”

Liuu Tianyuan snorted lightly and added, ”Still, your dear elder brother has paid quite the price today. This avatar took me a full ten million years to cultivate, so if I leave without accepting even one, won’t you feel guilty? I wouldn’t want you to feel guilty. So... I’ll take Nerves of God Suppression.”

Su Han had anticipated this all along and could only smile wryly.

You could’ve just admitted your desire—did you really need that long-winded speech? Acting as if you didn’t want them...

Liuu Tianyuan’s choice of Nerves of God Suppression was precisely what Su Han had foreseen.

After all, Su Han had previously gifted the Liuu Family the first part of Nerves of God Suppression. Given Liuu Tianyuan’s position, the Liuu Family would undoubtedly permit him to cultivate it.

Over the years, with Liuu Tianyuan’s aptitude, he must’ve already mastered the first part to an exceptional degree. Now, obtaining the second and third parts would surely lead to a tremendous surge in his strength.

”Then memorize Nerves of God Suppression,” Su Han said.

With a wave of his hand, the profound runes dissipated, replaced by easily comprehensible text.

Liuu Tianyuan glanced over it quickly and muttered, ”Nothing much. I thought you had all seven parts of Nerves of God Suppression.”

Su Han rolled his eyes. ”Stop dreaming. If I ever obtain the remaining four parts someday, I’ll give them all to you. Deal?”

”That sounds good enough,” Liuu Tianyuan grinned with satisfaction.

As silence settled between the two of them, time ticked away.

Soon, Liuu Tianyuan’s figure was about to vanish completely. He inhaled deeply and said gravely, ”Su Han, if Qingyao is still alive, you must bring her back. Do you understand?”

”I swear,” Su Han nodded firmly.

”Haha, great! I’ll wait for you at the Liuu Family!”

”Buzz~”

With a resonant hum, Liuu Tianyuan’s figure disappeared entirely.
