Dragon Blooded War God

If Long Chen did not hand over the Heavenly Passage Pills, Demon General Strongman would kill him.

Long Chen was nothing but an extremely minor figure to him. Despite having no background, he possessed treasures that did not match his strength. If he ended up dead, it would be well deserved.

Long Chen was quite calm because he initially thought it was going to be a difficult night, but thankfully, he had used the Soul Swallowing Gaze and spotted Huangfu Qi nearby. She must have missed him and Xiaolang and quickly hurried over after settling down.

Her arrival would coincidentally solve a huge problem for Long Chen.

Very soon, Demon General Strongman sensed Huangfu Qi approaching, and his face stiffened. He cursed furiously, “Motherfucker! You got lucky today! I’m warning you though. Those one hundred thousand Heavenly Passage Pills were supposed to belong to my nephew. If I don’t get them now, I will get them eventually. Also, it’s best if you don’t tell anyone about what happened today, or you will die. And my reputation will only be very minorly affected. The choice is yours.”

Then he wrung his hands hard and strode away. That was when Huangfu Qi arrived, and she cried, “Uncle Blockhead! Oh no, wait. Uncle Brick! Why are you here?”

She thought she was being smart. Since the Clear Shallows King had told her not to call him “Uncle Blockhead,” she had changed it to “Uncle Brick.” Indeed, due to his large stature, he was not far off from a brick.

A large, black line appeared on Demon General Strongman’s forehead when he heard her call him that.

Of course, Huangfu Qi’s rank was far above Long Chen’s, so Strongman only huffed coldly and left. Huangfu Qi watched him curiously, then she slipped into Long Chen’s room and eyed him up and down before sighing in relief. She patted her chest and said, “Thank goodness your innocence was not ruined by Uncle Brick …”

Long Chen froze, almost choking, and cried angrily, “Hey, brat, where did you learn to say that?”

“Isn’t it true though? I heard that there are perverted uncles who prefer young, handsome teenagers with clean features like you over women. When I saw him, I thought you were going to lose your purity! Thankfully, I got here just in time, or I would’ve regretted this for the rest of my life!”

Long Chen was speechless.

Both his and Xiaolang’s expressions were very stiff.

“Ah, cute puppy! You’re here again!” Huangfu Qi squealed and shifted her focus to Xiaolang. She grabbed him and petted him all over until Xiaolang’s neat fur became as messy as a bird’s nest.

Long Chen’s mood lifted when he saw the girl playing with Xiaolang. When she got tired, Long Chen asked, “Little girl, did you manage to obtain the information I asked for?”

He had given her an instruction before they separated, so he knew that she would come here tonight.

“Ah! I did!” she answered happily.

“Tell me, then.” Long Chen was satisfied.

“Mhm. My master said that there is a mountain called Demon World Mountain in the Ancient Demon Domain. There is a straight road piercing vertically through the mountain, and at its peak, there is a huge hole like a volcano. That is the entrance of the tunnel!”

“Does the tunnel lead to the demonic beast training grounds?”

“Mhm! Master said that if you leap into the hole from the top, you will keep falling until you enter a place called the Seven Layer Demon World. There are seven layers of space, and each space is its own miniverse. The seven miniverses are stacked together to form the Seven Layer Demon World. The first layer contains beasts at the first three Heaven-tier categories; the second layer contains Category Four, Five, and Six beasts; the third layer has Category Seven, Eight, and Nine; and as for the fourth later … The fourth layer is a gigantic arena for disciples to spar in. It's also used for training the military. It’s much larger than the Martial Arena outside. As for the fifth layer and above, I don’t know. Master didn’t tell me!”

“Seven Layer Demon World?” Long Chen nodded.

The Divine Martial Empire really was different from everything he knew. There were seven miniverses stacked together here! Long Chen understood the function of the first four layers, but he had a faint feeling that the Ancient Demon Domain’s secrets were all hidden in the last three layers, including the royal palace that could not be found in the outside world.

The seven royal pavilions were scattered throughout the Ancient Demon Domain, but the mysterious royal palace was nowhere to be found. Very few people had the right to enter.

The best combat techniques, divine weapons, and spiritual medicines were definitely stored in a place like the palace.

“Qi Qi, did your master mention any restrictions for entering the Seven Layer Demon World?” This was the key question.

“Master said that since I am a direct disciple, I can enter the first four layers any time I want as long as I have her permission. As for normal disciples, disciples at the first six Passage Stages are considered elementary disciples, while the disciples at the last three Passage Stages are considered advanced disciples. Elementary disciples can only access the first two layers, while advanced disciples have the same rights as direct disciples. Of course, anyone who has reached the Ninth Passage Stage is on the same level as the Demon Generals.”

I’m now an elementary disciple, which means I can enter the first two layers. I’m sure the two layers will have many demonic beasts that will be very effective for me … Long Chen sighed in relief. In that case, he could head to the Seven Layer Demon World tomorrow.

“Big Brother, are you planning to go to the Seven Layer Demon World tomorrow? I want to go too!” she cried as her eyes lit up.

“Who said I’m going? Aren’t we going to do that thing called the Demon Light Bath? And isn’t training going to start on the day after? I’m just wondering if we will have time in the future. If we have time, I’ll take you there, alright?” Long Chen knew the little girl would not let this rest, so he had prepared his excuse.

“Alright. But, Big Brother, you are a man, so you must do as you say. If you lie to me, I’ll curse you … I’ll curse you … To be infertile!”

Long Chen started sweating, feeling like he was shooting himself in the foot. He did not know where Huangfu Qi had learned to say these things that could make someone choke.

Now that he had obtained the information he wanted, Long Chen finally got the energetic little girl to leave, and he finally immersed himself in cultivation.

At this point, it looks like my Heaven-tier techniques like the Demon Emperor Sword Technique are no longer effective. The only things I can use right now are the divine techniques from the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon, as well as Rewind from the Primordial Dragon Talisman. As for combat techniques, I’m mostly relying on my physical toughness and the Heaven Sword Array left behind by Xiao Xi. These are far from enough …

Long Chen understood that he was lacking in certain aspects.

He was like a dry sponge, and the Ancient Demon Domain was like the ocean. Now that he had leaped into the ocean, he would quickly absorb water. He didn’t know how much water there was in this ocean, but he was an infinitely large sponge that could suck the ocean dry one day.

Once I get the Emperor Flame Pearl, I will advance directly to the Ninth Passage Stage on the Day of the Nine Suns. Then I will receive the Golden Crow’s power in my nine meridian points. When that happens, I will surely skyrocket to the top level of the Divine Martial Empire. At that time, I will be strong enough to confidently enter the Ancient Graveyard, unlike right now. If someone like Demon General Strongman can squash me, how can I enter the Ancient Graveyard in this state?

Long Chen had a clear goal and a deep understanding of himself.

That was why his only objective here in the Ancient Demon Domain was the Emperor Flame Pearl.

The Emperor Flame Pearl can make someone reach the Ninth Passage Stage immediately. That means that my most powerful competitors for it will be at the Eighth Passage Stage. This means that I must reach the Seventh Passage Stage before the Day of the Nine Suns. Will I be able to cover such a large gap?

Long Chen felt like there were many unknowns in this journey.

Although he had Blood Transmutation, he needed a lot of Heavenly Passage Pills and blood from powerful beasts.

“Experts are as common as clouds here. So I must work harder!” Long Chen clenched his fists.

He cultivated through the night, and the second day soon arrived. He immediately opened the door after he heard urgent knocks. It was one of the other eight new disciples, though Long Chen did not know his name.

“Jiang Cheng, it’s almost seven in the morning! The Ancient Demon Domain has harsh punishments for being late; I only just learned that too. The Demon Light Bath is today, so we must hurry over now!” the disciple said urgently.

The Ancient Demon Domain functioned like the military, so it was understandable how strict they would be regarding punctuality.

“Thank you!” Long Chen followed him, hurrying along as fast as he could to avoid being late.

After barely arriving on time, they found themselves not in a training area, but another pavilion.

They would only enter the training grounds tomorrow when the true training began.

When he arrived, Long Chen heard Huangfu Qi’s silver bell-like laughter. He had not even spotted her when she pounced on him and cried with wide eyes, “Big Brother! Where’s the puppy? Where’s the puppy?”

“The puppy isn’t here today. Be good,” Long Chen said sternly while he gently peeled her off.

“Oh …” Huangfu Qi was a little sad, but she recovered quickly. She pointed at a young man and said, “Big Brother, look. That’s Senior Brother Six! He’s awesome; he was number one in the qualifiers two years ago! He was also a three-time champion and won a hundred thousand Heavenly Passage Pills! At the time, he was at the Fourth Passage Stage, but he is already at the Sixth Passage Stage! Master says that he will soon clear the earthly meridian point to reach the Seventh Passage Stage. He’ll become one of the best disciples then!”

Following her gaze, he looked at the legendary teenager. He seemed to be a year younger than Long Chen and had clean features. He looked like a true prodigy with a gentle exterior but a strong mind, though there was a hint of viciousness hidden beneath that gentle elegance.
