Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1038: Kept in the Dark

During the previous moments, he closed his eyes and ears, ignoring everything outside, unaware of and uninterested in what had happened, focusing solely on breaking through.

At this moment, Nan Hong opened his eyes, and the first thing he did was look at Su Han.

”Su Baliu, take a look, what realm am I at now!”

The voice from Nan Hong’s mouth was proud with a sense of achievement, and his expression was extremely complex, containing excitement, joy, and hatred.

Excitement and joy were naturally because he had broken through to the Dragon Emperor Realm.

Honestly, before this, although Nan Hong was extremely confident in his own talent, he was still very anxious at the moment of breakthrough. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have delayed until now, forced by Su Han to break through.

As for the hatred... it’s naturally because of Su Han.

”Didn’t you want to cripple me?”

Nan Hong stood up, bursting into laughter: ”After I break through to the Dragon Emperor Realm, just watch who cripples whom!”

As the words fell, Nan Hong looked around again.

Upon seeing this, Nan Hong was stunned.

The imagined clamor did not appear. Logically, after his breakthrough, becoming the second Dragon Emperor Realm among the 30 million disciples of One Slash Palace’s Disciple Mountain, Moon-Watching Mountain should have burst into excitement. After all, this was a Dragon Emperor Realm, a world apart from the Dragon God Realm.

However, when Nan Hong looked around, he saw those disciples with strange expressions, some even winking at him as if trying to remind him of something, but appeared frightened and did not dare to speak.

This scene couldn’t help but make Nan Hong frown slightly.

However, because he had just broken through, his aura was rising, and his strength had undergone an earth-shattering change. In his excitement, Nan Qing wasn’t thinking too much. He just wanted to quickly pass the Dragon Emperor Tribulation, cripple Su Han in front of these disciples, and trample on Su Han’s ’Su Zun’ reputation, shocking the world.

”Buzz~”

The void at this moment emitted a buzzing sound, and the cloud that was originally dispersing to both sides quickly swept back again.

However, the cloud now was no longer pure white as before but gave a dark, oppressive feeling, growing thicker, with thunder and lightning surging within, and a rumbling sound coming from the clouds.

Dragon Emperor Tribulation!

Anyone breaking through to the Dragon Emperor Realm had over a ninety percent chance of encountering the Dragon Emperor Tribulation. The stronger the talent, the more increased strength, the stronger the Dragon Emperor Tribulation.

Since the appearance of cultivators on Dragon Martial Continent, the Dragon Emperor Tribulation has frequently appeared, descending in different layers according to the breakthrough individual’s strength.

The lowest level is called the Thirty-Three Heavens’ Dragon Emperor Tribulation. The middle-class level is the Sixty-Six Heavenly Dragon Tribulations, and the high-grade level is the Ninety-Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor Tribulation!

The Ninety-Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor Tribulation is the strongest Dragon Emperor Tribulation on the entire Dragon Martial Continent. According to legend, there is an even higher level, known as the pinnacle level Dragon Emperor Tribulation, also called... Five-Colored Supreme Dragon Emperor Tribulation!

Those who can induce the descent of the Five-Colored Supreme Dragon Emperor Tribulation are absolute freaks in terms of talent, and once such individuals pass the Dragon Emperor Tribulation, they will immediately open the Imperial Domain, allowing them to be invincible among peers or even fight across levels, killing those with a higher cultivation base in the Dragon Emperor Realm!

Such freaks are one in ten million. Even the Dragon Martial Continent’s First War God merely induced the Ninety-Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor Tribulation.

...

At this moment, as the clouds surged, the joy and excitement on Nan Hong’s face gradually subsided.

Everyone could feel, from the clouds, an indescribable terrifying pressure slowly emanating. Under this pressure, Nan Hong’s booming momentum was directly suppressed, a heavy feeling arose in everyone’s heart, as if a huge stone pressed down on their hearts, making it hard to breathe.

”Crack!”

The clouds suddenly exploded with sound, thousands of lightning bolts traversed, silver snakes carrying deep blue light, as thick as water buckets, constantly interwoven in the clouds.

Seeing these silver snakes, Nan Hong’s face couldn’t help but change, turning ugly.

Each silver snake had enough power to blast a pinnacle Dragon God Realm into nothingness. Even Nan Hong, who had just broken through to the Dragon Emperor Realm, did not dare to meet them head-on.

”It is said that the Dragon Emperor Tribulation is exceedingly difficult to pass, and now it seems... it’s indeed true.”

”Tsk tsk, Dragon Emperor Tribulation, only by passing the Dragon Emperor Tribulation can one truly be a Dragon Emperor Realm. If one cannot pass, they can only remain a Pseudo-Emperor, living at most for a thousand years.”

”Senior Brother Nan Hong... is in trouble.”

”In actuality, compared to this, the Dragon Emperor Tribulation isn’t really the trouble, his biggest trouble... should be Su Zun.”

A disciple spoke, and discussions erupted. As the words fell, everyone turned to look at Su Han.

Nan Hong also heard this discussion, his frown deepened, feeling puzzled, could Su Han really be compared to the Dragon Emperor Tribulation?

Just moments ago, he focused solely on breaking through, sealing off his divine sense, unaware of external happenings, naturally not knowing that even Ning Yihai, at the Dragon Emperor Realm, was suppressed by Su Han.

Let alone him not yet having passed the Dragon Emperor Tribulation, even if he did, he absolutely couldn’t compare to Ning Yihai, who had been steeped in the early stage of the Dragon Emperor Realm for years, let alone the abnormal Su Han who suppressed Ning Yihai.

Ignorance is fearless.

Nan Hong had no knowledge of these things, so he naturally would not fear Su Han.

Seeing the Dragon Emperor Tribulation about to form, Nan Hong once again shouted coldly at Su Han: ”Su Baliu, you’ve always been so arrogant, never restraining yourself. Once I pass this Dragon Emperor Tribulation, I’ll teach you a lesson in place of your parents!”

”Teach me a lesson?”

Su Han’s lips curled into a smile; ”Alright, I’ll await it.”

As these words fell, the disciples looked strangely at Nan Hong once more. Nan Hong was very displeased by these looks, as if everyone else knew what had happened, and he was the only one kept in the dark.

He snorted, looking at Nan Qing.

The latter was also opening his mouth, saying to Nan Hong; ”Big brother, just now Su Ba... Su Zun fought with Senior Brother. Senior Brother is not...”

”How dare you!”

Before the words were finished, Su Han’s voice cut in coldly.

Simultaneously, Su Han’s icy gaze swept over Nan Hong, who felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, chilled to the bone, unable to speak, or perhaps, truly constrained by Su Han’s invisible power, unable to make a sound. In any case, he didn’t speak again.

”Not what?”

Nan Hong looked at Nan Qing, wanting to know the latter’s follow-up, but Nan Qing, at this moment, couldn’t utter a single word.

”Nothing.”

Su Han gave a slight smile and said: ”You go ahead and pass the tribulation. My sect is still waiting for you to pass the Dragon Emperor Tribulation, so you can teach us a lesson.”
