Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 404: Chapter 403: Unexpected Change, Emperor’s Qi

On the arena stage, the black-robed youth seemed particularly weak under the pressure of Long Zhan’s aura.

It was like a Divine Dragon staring down a mortal.

Just then, a small fireball floated up from Qin Feng’s palm.

Previously, Qin Feng’s Chaos Fire Divine Technique was orange. After merging with the Ancient Poison Flame, the orange ball of light had taken on a layer of ominous glow.

The small sphere of light flickered in Qin Feng’s palm like a flame, hovering gently.

An immense and terrifying power, enough to make everyone present pale with shock, began to radiate from this small fireball.

When Long Zhan’s gaze fell upon the dark fireball in Qin Feng’s palm, an uncontrollable wave of regret washed over him.

His Spiritual Sense directly perceived the power fluctuations emanating from that small fireball, and he felt a pressure of death so thick it was almost suffocating.

’How can he unleash such a terrifying Divine Ability with his Vein Condensation Human Extreme Realm Cultivation?’

His face contorted in horror. An immense yellow light surged from his body like a tide as he shot backward in retreat. The potent yellow light was accompanied by draconic roars as nine massive Yellow Dragons let out sky-shaking cries, instantly forming a dozen layers of yellow shields around him just before he retreated.

"As expected of the Nine Dragon Emperor’s Son! To be able to set up such a powerful defense with a mere gesture!"

"That ability to react under pressure is breathtaking!"

Qin Feng sighed lightly. "However..."

In Qin Feng’s palm, the ball of light formed by the Chaos Fire Divine Technique rose up. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it was like a blazing sun, suspended in the sky.

"Go!" Qin Feng shouted softly. The blazing sun suspended in the sky shot out like a bolt of lightning.

The Chaos Fire Divine Technique moved silently, streaking across the Void without any explosive display of power. Yet, this very silence sent a chill deep into one’s heart.

On the VIP platform, Bai Yan’Er’s gaze was fixed on the blazing sun crossing the sky. As a Sea of Reincarnation Realm expert, her powerful Divine Thought perceived it more directly, allowing her to vicariously experience the pressure Long Zhan was facing.

That sun-like fireball seemed capable of completely incinerating even Divine Thought and soul. Just by sensing it slightly, her Divine Thought was pierced with pain, and she became intensely dizzy.

At that moment, many Elders hastily withdrew their powerful Divine Thought and switched to watching with their naked eyes.

Under countless gazes, that meteor-like sun plummeted and slammed into the dense, layered, and seemingly solid yellow light shields.

There was no sound, no commotion at all.

However, everyone’s eyes widened in shock. The layer of yellow light was melted through as easily as paper, leaving a hole the size of the fireball.

A faint, dark, ominous glow appeared at the melted edges of the yellow light, and this glow spread rapidly across it.

This change occurred in a mere instant.

The dozens of layers of yellow light shields crumbled in an instant. The sun-like fireball then slammed into Long Zhan, who was enveloped by nine earthen-yellow True Dragons.

Like gasoline catching an open flame, it instantly turned Long Zhan into a human torch.

The scene that had played out with Qu Ao was happening all over again.

Long Zhan’s entire essence, qi, and spirit were ignited in an instant. A wisp of Tribulation Fiend Flame burrowed through his pores, heading straight for the depths of his soul.

Panic filled Long Zhan’s eyes. The soul was a person’s core; if it were entangled by this strange Flame, his foundation would be severely damaged even if he didn’t die.

"True Dragon Qi, Celestial Emperor’s blessing!"

He roared, and his soul transformed into a True Dragon as a trace of majestic aura from the Ancient Era emerged.

The moment this aura appeared, a sense of majesty, as if from the depths of an ancient soul, suddenly descended upon the Arena of the Stars.

Most people’s muscles tensed up. They felt lost and uneasy, trembling like subjects before a Celestial Emperor.

In the Elder District, a Great Power’s expression suddenly changed.

’Is this the true Emperor’s Qi?’

Killing intent surged from this Great Power.

A Celestial Emperor... what is a Celestial Emperor? The son of Cangtian, acknowledged by all living beings, and blessed by the Heaven and Earth Dragon Vein—only then can one be a true Celestial Emperor.

Today, among the Nine Great Empires and the many nations, though their leaders call themselves Sovereigns and Emperors, not a single one has been acknowledged by the Heaven and Earth Dragon Vein. They are merely Monarchs, not orthodox Celestial Emperors.

’He has actually gained the acknowledgment of a Heaven and Earth Dragon Vein and possesses Emperor’s Qi! This is a true hidden dragon! In the Ancient Era, Celestial Emperors established Dynasties and ruled over countless territories. That was the darkest period for sects like ours. We were forced to become laborers for these Celestial Emperor Dynasties, to send them our most elite disciples, to have our lifeblood drained. We had no freedom and had to serve diligently. We even had to report and get approval for any advancement in Cultivation. Otherwise, raising one’s Cultivation privately was a capital crime!’

On one of the Twenty-eight Peaks, killing intent flashed like thunder and lightning in the eyes of another Great Power. The entire Arena of the Stars felt as if it were shrouded in roiling dark clouds.

「In the VIP section.」

The Sovereign of the East Sea Empire shot to his feet. "My son actually has the makings of a Celestial Emperor?"

The East Sea Empire Sovereign’s eyes were filled with shock and joy. His usually calm and majestic face could not hide his delight. A tremendous aura uncontrollably burst forth from him, and some of the weaker Sovereigns nearby were forced back by this immense presence, their faces turning pale as if they were suffocating.

’However, for my son’s Emperor’s Qi to be exposed at this time...’

The East Sea Empire Sovereign glanced at the oppressive atmosphere in the Elder District, and his expression shifted slightly. He exchanged a look with the other Sovereigns of the Nine Great Empires, and in an instant, the air grew tense.

’If those old bastards from the Star Sect dare to harm my son!’ A flash of Evil Qi flickered in the East Sea Empire Sovereign’s eyes.

...

A purple, dragon-shaped Qi Force flew out and coiled around Long Zhan. At this moment, he looked exceptionally noble. With his eyes closed, the countless wisps of Tribulation Fiend Flame were slowly forced out of his body.

That majestic purple gas was the Emperor’s Qi, which even the Chaos Fire Divine Technique could not harm in the slightest.

The Emperor’s Qi suppresses all evil and is impervious to all Divine Abilities!

’He actually has a trace of Emperor’s Qi. It seems Long Zhan has earned the acknowledgment of a Dragon Vein!’

A hint of shock flashed through his eyes, and Qin Feng sucked in a sharp breath.

’This Emperor’s Qi must have been hidden deep within his soul. My attack pushed him into a life-or-death crisis, forcing out his potential and causing this strand of Emperor’s Qi to emerge and merge with his soul ahead of schedule. Once the Emperor’s Qi fuses with his soul, he will truly possess a portion of an Ancient Heavenly Son’s power!’

As this speculation flashed through his mind, Qin Feng’s expression turned to one of horror.

What is a Celestial Emperor? A Celestial Emperor is a god of the state, a Dominator of mountains and rivers. To be blessed by the Emperor’s Qi is to be blessed by the power of all living beings.

At that point, his Cultivation speed and his comprehension of heaven and earth would increase by dozens, even hundreds of times.

The Ancient Heavenly Sons of the past were among the world’s most supreme experts. The former Su Huang was also one of these Ancient Heavenly Sons.

’It seems he is also a person of great Qi Fortune, one who turns calamities into blessings and misfortune into luck!’

Sighing inwardly, Qin Feng looked up. Possessing the makings of a Celestial Emperor was indeed terrifying, but a Celestial Emperor who had yet to mature was not necessarily impossible to kill and suppress.

Many hidden dragons have appeared on the Spirit Sea Continent, but in the end, only a precious few ever matured into true Celestial Emperors.

’Especially a half-finished product like the one before me!’

Qin Feng’s gaze fell on Long Zhan. At this moment, while he was fusing with the Emperor’s Qi, Long Zhan was undoubtedly at his most vulnerable.
