Chapter 695 – Dragon Overlord Long Chen
Little Cat glanced at him with contempt, then huffed, “There are two types of artifacts in the Dragon Continent—weapons and magical artifacts. You’ve seen weapons before; high-quality divine weapons can help boost a cultivator’s combat abilities. Armament Warriors born of weapons are very rare in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, but there is a large area in the Royal Territory ruled by true Armament Warriors. As for what powers they have—you’ll know when you meet them.”
“Is the Swordsoul Palace related to Armament Warriors?” Long Chen guessed based on what Little Cat had said.
“Not bad. You’re quite smart. The Swordsoul Territory is the Armament Warriors’ world, while the Swordsoul Palace is the gathering place of the most powerful Armament Warriors. The Armament Warriors there are many times stronger than the ones here. They can use all types of secret techniques using their weapons. The moment they use their knives and swords, their enemies fall! I can’t even begin to describe it; you’ll understand when you witness it.”
Is he saying that the Armament Warriors there are completely different from the ones here?
This was something he would understand later. Although it was closely related to Ling Xi, that could wait, so he changed the topic and asked, “Then what are magical artifacts?”
“Other than weapons like knives, spears, swords, and halberds, there are many artifacts that are not in the form of traditional weapons but possess great combat abilities. They are known as magical artifacts and they have all sorts of functions like attacking, defending, healing, and more. The Ancient Demon Flag used to control the Ancient Demon Corpse is considered a magical artifact, and the Five Emperor Seals are also considered a type. Of course, these are magical artifacts of the lowest level with only cool-sounding names. They would be nothing in the Royal Territory!”
After Little Cat’s brief introduction, Long Chen had a rough understanding of weapons and magical artifacts. He realized that he was just like a newcomer who had only started the journey of cultivation. He had only just started to learn about many concepts. Although he was considered knowledgeable in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, compared to the true stage of the Three Royal Territories, he knew too little.
This ignited an even deeper yearning in him to get to the Royal Territory, where true masters were. The longer he was immersed in cultivation, the more he yearned for battle and challenges. The stronger his opponents were, the greater the fire within him. He thought it was just a difference in his attitude, but actually, he was mainly influenced by the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon’s blood within him. The Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon was the ancestral dragon of massacre; it lived for killing. In its world, there was only killing. Long Chen could maintain a stable mind today largely due to the mysterious dragon jade in his sea of consciousness!
Without it, he would have become a demon who only killed!
Putting these thoughts away, Long Chen looked at the Five Emperor Seals and asked, “Does that mean I need to drip my blood on the Five Emperor Seals?”
“Your blood contains your own unique seal. No one else in the whole Ten Thousand Nations Territory can compare to your blood, so give it a try,” said Little Cat lazily.
Long Chen nodded. He had extraordinary control over blood; he directly forced blood out of his finger, then carefully dripped it on each seal. In the beginning, the blood drops flowed down along the seals without any reaction, but he remained calm. When he finally dripped his blood on the last one, the Yellow Emperor Seal, something finally happened.
Almost at the same time, the five seals absorbed his blood, then the five normal and old-looking seals slowly gave a fuzzy glow.
Gold, azure, black, scarlet, and yellow. Five colors shone before him. Initially, it was merely a fuzzy glow, but it slowly brightened!
“It’s starting!” cried Little Cat, then he returned to the Primordial Realm with a whoosh.
This meant that dripping his blood on them was the correct method.
Right after Little Cat returned to the Primordial Realm, Long Chen sensed a powerful and regal energy coming from the seals. This power made a string of houses collapse and pushed down all the walls around Long Chen. The table beneath the seals was pulverized instantly!
Long Chen was living in a quiet area, so there were few people around. That was why the collapsed houses did not squash anyone. However, the large commotion startled all of Martial Overlord City.
Next, the Five Emperor Seals gathered in a circle and flew upwards above Long Chen’s head, then not far from the top of Martial Overlord Palace. Powerful light shot out of the seals in five colors, bathing the whole city in gold, azure, black, scarlet, and yellow light.
The powerful lights made everyone indoors come out. They could not see the seals, but they saw five different-colored suns in the sky!
“Wow! What’s that?”
“How strange! What’s happening? Is this a god coming to the mortal realm? Is there really a god?”
Millions of people lived in Martial Overlord City, and they were all gawking at the strange phenomenon, discussing among themselves.
Long Chen followed the Five Emperor Seals and flew until he arrived beneath them. He did not fly up directly to them for the moment, wanting to see what would happen. The Five Emperor Seals had absorbed his blood anyway, so other people could not snatch them even if they tried.
It was impossible for Long Yue and the others to not notice such a huge commotion; even Mo Xiaolang quickly came to his side. The others who had reached the Earthly Martial Realm all came as well. Long Shan was first to ask in surprise, “Little Long Chen, are those the Five Emperor Seals?”
Long Chen nodded and said, “Yes!”
“This is a huge opportunity. You must take this chance and master them. You will depend heavily on them in the Ancient Graveyard,” mused Long Shan.
“Yeah, I’ll rest easier if you have the Five Emperor Seals. But you must keep a low profile. Don’t let other people know that you have an Emperor-tier combat technique. Very few people in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory have one,” warned Long Yue.
“I understand.” Long Chen accepted their reminders graciously.
“That’s good. Alright, let’s not disturb Seventh Brother. We’ll let him focus on comprehending the Five Emperor Seals. Tonight, we’ll be a bit busier to prevent anything from interrupting him.” Long Yue gave a small smile and started to give instructions. Under her arrangements, the group went to all corners of Martial Overlord City to keep watch and maintain order amongst the crowd.
Long Chen floated in the air beneath the Five Emperor Seals, so he was very eye-catching. Many people knew his face as well.
News of his killing of Zhao Danchen and Feng Xuan had already spread across the whole Divine Martial Empire. Everyone now knew that he was the most terrifying figure in the whole empire. None of the millions of people in the Divine Martial Empire was a match for him.
A person like Long Chen was directly recorded in the Divine Martial Empire’s historical records.
He was not even twenty, yet he had become the most outstanding figure in the Divine Martial Empire.
Beneath him, the crowd started discussing him with admiration in their eyes. Not only was he a young prodigy, but his mindset and personality were superior to Zhao Danchen. In reality, most people did not know that he was going to leave and thought he would be the next ruler of the Divine Martial Empire.
Many people had even coined a name for him—the Dragon Overlord!
The Martial Overlord’s lineage was completely eliminated, and Long Chen was the strongest member of the Dragon clan, so it was normal for him to represent the Dragon clan and take his place as the ruler. The Martial Overlord would be replaced with the new Dragon Overlord!
Of course, that was just the outsiders’ perspective. Long Chen did not want to stay in a place like the Divine Martial Empire or be the Dragon Overlord.
Although the name sounded awesome.
In a random corner of Martial Overlord City, a beautiful lady and her two children were looking up at the shining figure in the sky.
“Mother, is that older brother the Dragon Overlord?”
“He’s awesome! He’s so young, but he became the Dragon Overlord!” The two children chatted noisily as they hugged her legs.
“Mhm. He’s very powerful. You two must become as strong as he is when you grow up!” the woman said gently, stroking their heads.
“Of course!” they cried.
The woman nodded approvingly and looked up at the youth in the sky. She knew who he was. He was the one who had disguised himself as her husband and slept in her bed. At the time, she thought he was the Hundred-War Martial King. They had interacted before, and it was awkward to think about it.
However, having a brief interaction with such a shining character of the generation was also a lovely memory to her.
The corners of her lips curled upwards as she looked at the magnificent youth in the sky.
She knew that there were millions of pairs of eyes beneath him. He would never notice hers, but that was enough.
Then the Five Emperor Seals started to change. Long Chen calmed his mind and watched carefully.
He did not know that he was already known as the Dragon Overlord.
