Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

"Boom!"

The enormous dragon tail struck the ground, causing massive cracks to appear instantly.

These cracks spread rapidly, like a spider web, densely expanding in all directions.

Zhang Duo clearly saw flashes of bright light emerging from beneath the countless cracks.

This is... a mineral vein!

This vein is far larger than any spirit stone vein Zhang Duo had ever seen, and it's unknown by how much.

With just a glance, the amount of ore inside numbers in millions, if not beyond. If sold... it could be tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions of spirit stones!

"Am... am I going to strike it rich?" Zhang Duo muttered to himself.

With such immense wealth in hand all of a sudden, Zhang Duo didn't even know how to spend it.

Of course, the battle isn't over yet. These veins aren't his for the taking just because he wants them.

"You little wretch, you deserve to die!!!"

Dragon Ancestor's thunderous roar was deafening, transforming into a shockwave that shattered the surrounding massive trees.

If not for the light shield Su Han had placed over Zhang Duo, he would have been torn apart just from this howl.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Rays of sword light continuously emerged from Dragon Ancestor's vast body.

Clearly in excruciating pain, Dragon Ancestor let out shrill screams, its body sometimes tumbling in the void, sometimes rolling on the ground.

Once, it even crushed over Zhang Duo, but Zhang Duo was unscathed.

"Rip, rip, rip..."

Huge wounds tore open across Dragon Ancestor's body, pouring out blood, staining the ground red.

Just from the sound of Dragon Ancestor's shrill roars, Zhang Duo could feel the agony and torment it was enduring.

"Get out, get out of my body!!!"

"What do you want? Must you kill me to be satisfied?!"

"Whatever you want, I can give it to you, I'll give it all!!!"

Dragon Ancestor kept howling.

"What I want, you can't give me."

A cold voice echoed from within Dragon Ancestor, and a huge sword light slashed straight up, from a spot on Dragon Ancestor's back, slicing down to its head!

"No!!!"

Dragon Ancestor's massive body was now riddled with gaping, gruesome wounds.

...

As time passed, Dragon Ancestor's struggles grew weaker and weaker…

Ultimately, with a thud, it fell to the ground, unable to rise again.

Its giant pupils still stared at Zhang Duo standing before it, reflecting his own image.

"Dead... is it dead?" Zhang Duo swallowed hard.

"Rip!"

Another sword light slashed open Dragon Ancestor's abdomen, and Su Han emerged, his white robe still pristine, untouched by blood.

In his hand, he held a golden sphere, Dragon Ancestor's Dragon Pill.

The Dragon Pill wasn't large; Su Han could hold it in one hand, but its emanating aura was terrifyingly oppressive.

"The legendary Dragon Ancestor, at the peak of the Dragon Martial Continent... is dead just like that?" Zhang Duo still couldn't believe it.

"You can mine the ores now."

Su Han waved his hand, releasing several space rings in front of Zhang Duo.

This time, killing Dragon Ancestor was far easier than facing Bliss Demon Venerable. Even Su Han hadn't expected it to be so swift.

It was all thanks to Dragon Ancestor having just awakened and not even checking before devouring those ores.

Su Han had entered its body without it noticing.

Thus, Su Han attacked from within, destroying Dragon Ancestor's inner structures completely. Even when its Primordial Spirit fought against Su Han, it was no match for him.

Of course, Su Han's power now was vastly superior to before.

His Martial Path Cultivation in the Dragon Venerate Realm, fused with the Dragon Emperor Realm Peak's Flesh Cultivation, combined with the Five-Colored Supreme Shadow, Blazing Wine, and the Fourth Transformation of the Nine Blood Transformations, allowed him to take it down almost effortlessly.

"The majestic Dragon Ancestor died so unjustly." Zhang Duo felt pangs of sorrow for Dragon Ancestor.

The next moment, his gaze shifted to the endless ores on the ground and the glowing veins beneath.

"Rich, I've struck it rich this time..."

Murmuring to himself, Zhang Duo rushed towards the mineral veins.

Meanwhile, Su Han just shook his head with a smile, his figure flickering as he entered the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son to begin secluded Flesh Cultivation.

...

Ten days later, Su Han emerged from seclusion.

He exited the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son and saw Zhang Duo still focused on mining.

Zhang Duo didn't notice Su Han's presence.

In silence, Su Han left without a word.

...

A year later, Su Han traveled all around the Dragon Martial Continent using Teleportation Formations.

Almost every so-called dangerous or treasure land, he had visited them all.

Yet, none of these places revealed the long-standing secret of the Dragon Martial Continent.

It was as if those dangerous places were just dangerous places, and the treasure lands were simply treasure lands.

The secret of the Dragon Martial Continent was the last thing troubling Su Han, but he had no way of uncovering it.

"There must be a secret here, perhaps my power is still too low," Su Han occasionally said to himself.

His final destination was the Seven-Domain Divine Mountain.

He clearly remembered why Ye Longchen saved the God-Slaying Pavilion, privately opening the Seven-Domain Divine Mountain, which led to experts from super sects like Jade Void Palace entering, causing a series of crises, and ultimately being suppressed by the Ye Family.

Su Han had never visited the Seven-Domain Divine Mountain before.

He wanted to know what was inside that made the Ye Family guard it for generations.

Could it be that whatever was here held the key to unraveling the Dragon Martial Continent's secret?

Though feeling it unlikely, Su Han still came.

No one noticed when he entered the Seven-Domain Divine Mountain, not even the powerful members of the Ye Family.

The perimeter of the Seven-Domain Divine Mountain was surrounded by seven layers of light, forming distinct areas, hence the name 'Seven-Domain Divine Mountain.'

Within the Seven-Domain Divine Mountain, Su Han discovered countless Demon Beasts trapped by the light, unable to escape, perpetually howling in rage.

Su Han understood that the crisis caused by Yuani Ling from Jade Void Palace and others must have been related to these Demon Beasts.
