Chapter 5965 Complete Slaughter
Inside a private chamber, Bai Shu and the four dragon ancestors were gathered in discussion.
If anyone else had made the kind of declaration Long Chen had just uttered, they would’ve dismissed it as empty bravado—a desperate joke to console themselves. But these words had come from Long Chen’s mouth.
In the Heaven Saint realm, he had led the Dragonblood Legion to annihilate the Devil Eye Water Lily race, killing Lian Sanqiang right in front of four other Sovereign Lords. Once he entered the Human Emperor realm, there was no longer any question—he would do whatever he set his mind to.
Moreover, Long Chen’s prestige in the Dragon Domain had reached an unprecedented peak. At this point, if he gave an order, even the domain lord’s decree would likely not be enough to restrain the masses.
And these youngsters... they weren’t the same as before. After dying again and again in the Seven Treasure Space, they’d shed their fears of death. They were no longer the green youths the higher-ups could simply order around.
“Domain lord, Long Chen’s idea is too dangerous. At that time...” muttered one of the dragon ancestors.
“Let’s ignore for now whether we can even defeat the Nine Peak Dragon Domain. Even if we do beat them, the other Dragon Domains won’t just sit back and watch. They’ve rejected and mocked us. They will not like to see us rise to the point where we can threaten them. They may even join forces against us...” interjected another dragon ancestor.
Their worries were not baseless. Among all the domains, theirs was the weakest and the most ridiculed. Now that they were showing signs of resurgence, jealousy and fear would inevitably follow.
Long Chen was still young. He wouldn’t be thinking of these long-term consequences. But as elders, it was their responsibility to prepare for such possibilities.
“Tch, what’s there to be afraid of?” the scarlet dragon ancestor snorted. “Even if the situation turns dire, how could it possibly be worse than where we stand now? Rather than being slowly devoured, I’d rather stake everything on a single decisive battle!”
This Dragon Domain had already declined to the point of humiliation, and the Nine Peak Dragon Domain was trying to devour them whole. They were the most shameless of the other major Dragon Domains, so targeting them was justified.
All eyes turned toward the domain lord, waiting for his verdict. But the domain lord simply smiled.
The domain lord said, “Do you still not see it? From the moment Long Chen entered our Dragon Domain, our fate was no longer in our hands.”
“Domain lord, what are you talking about?!”
“There are things I can’t say openly. But if you use your head, you’ll figure it out. And even if you can’t, just remember this: Long Chen is now the leader of our Dragon Domain. We simply need to cooperate with him no matter what he does. Forget about debating strategy or voicing our opinions—what good has our wisdom done us so far? If we were truly clever, would our Dragon Domain have fallen this far? Since we failed to steer the course, why not follow someone who can?”
“Hahaha! Exactly! We old geezers should just step down and let the youngsters take over,” the scarlet dragon ancestor laughed heartily. “Didn’t you see how terrifying our children have become? They don’t need us old-timers to mess up their plans. As long as we still have some strength left in these old bones, let’s use it to support them, not restrain them.”
The others fell silent, not fully convinced, but unable to refute the domain lord’s reasoning.
“We’re old,” the domain lord said, voice steady. “Not just in body, but also in mindset. Old people crave stability. We hate taking risks. But in times like this, playing it safe is the fastest way to die. In this dangerous new era, hesitation and caution are liabilities.”
“When you gamble, the most important skill isn’t winning—it’s surviving. If you stop moving forward, you’ll be left behind and devoured. These youngsters... they’re sharper than we are. They sense danger and opportunity more keenly. When they were young, they entrusted their futures to us. But now, it’s time for us to entrust the Dragon Domain’s future to them. We should also trust them unconditionally.”
The dragon ancestors nodded at those words. Thinking about it that way, they felt a knot loosening within their hearts.
The new era had come, and it was time for the youngsters to take their place.
...
“Charge! Every time we die, we grow stronger! Every ounce of strength we claw out brings us closer to revenge!” Mo Yang[1]’s roar echoed throughout the Seven Treasure Space. His throat was raw from screaming, his killing intent like a raging storm.
“We will flatten the Nine Peak Dragon Domain! We will return the humiliation that Tong Feng gave us a hundred-fold! We have to win—because if we lose, we’ll become slaves to others!”
“How can the disciples of our great Dragon Domain—heirs to the noblest bloodline in the world—ever become slaves?!”
“Kill!”
The Dragon Domain’s disciples had gone berserk. Tong Feng’s contemptuous gaze had ignited their fury.
Long Chen had declared that once they advanced, they would annihilate the Nine Peak Dragon Domain. So, time was running out. For the honor of the Dragon Domain, for their own dignity, they threw themselves into this hellish trial like madmen.
Roars of rage filled the air as they tore through the seventh level of the Seven Treasure Space. Their only goal was death.
After all, only through death could they push their limits: stimulate their potential, refine their wills, ignite their bloodlines, and awaken their souls.
As their power grew, fewer and fewer enemies here could match them. So they sought out even stronger foes.
The seventh level was a slaughterhouse. Sovereign sprouts were falling one after another to Lian Sanqiang.
But like moths drawn to a flame, they kept charging at Lian Sanqiang. They used his Sovereign qi as fuel to spark their own Sovereign flames.
Finally, Lian Sanqiang was exhausted to death by tens of thousands of Sovereign sprouts.
Their cheers shook the land.
But before they could celebrate, a black gate creaked open behind Lian Sanqiang’s corpse. A new figure stepped out.
“There’s another one!”
“Kill!”
Following their momentum from killing Lian Sanqiang, they charged at that figure.
BOOM!
With a single palm strike, a wave of death swept across the battlefield.
Tens of thousands of Dragon Domain’s Sovereign sprouts were reduced to dust in an instant, erased from existence.
They were forcibly ejected from the space.
“What just happened?!” asked the dumbfounded disciples.
Even Long Chen’s expression changed drastically. The divine light of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree suddenly dimmed.
