326: Chapter 326 The Dragon Emperor's Appearance

Recovering from his shock, Shen Xingchen heard the Qin Emperor speak: "Your aptitude was originally not bad, but unfortunately you took the wrong path. To be able to cultivate to this realm at such a young age is truly bizarre."

Shen Xingchen did not explain anything; problems regarding this aspect were definitely related to the system.

The Qin Emperor frowned and thought for a moment, then softly asked in puzzlement: "Could it be the difference between ancient and modern methods?"

Shen Xingchen did not hear clearly and pressed further: "What did Your Majesty just say?"

"Nothing."

The Qin Emperor first shook his head, then asked, "I heard that the current world is suffering from the invasion of a race called the 'Demon'?"

Shen Xingchen nodded: "Correct."

The Qin Emperor fell into silence.

Shen Xingchen asked: "Has Your Majesty ever thought about reappearing in the current world, just like Qiyuan?"

If an expert at the Qin Emperor's level could appear in Snowfield Dragon City, Huaxia's border strength would receive an unprecedented enhancement.

The Qin Emperor smiled with relief: "I am different from Maner. Grudge spirits can actually no longer be considered spiritual bodies but ghost entities, and there has long been no chance of rebirth."

Shen Xingchen's throat twitched slightly, wanting to say something.

"Alright, I am tired, let's stop chatting."

After speaking,

the Qin Emperor pulled with a single hand, grasping the Dragon Qi in his hand, and tapped Shen Xingchen's forehead: "Regarding the Demon race, I only want to say one sentence, listen well."

Shen Xingchen nodded in a daze.

The Qin Emperor's voice was grand and distant: "Those who violate my Huaxia territory, even if they are the gods and demons of the heavens, will be killed without mercy!"

While Shen Xingchen's heart was deeply shocked, the Dragon Qi poured into his dantian, and he had to immediately begin cultivating.

At this moment,

two points of light appeared in the sky, one presenting a cyan color, exuding an endless vitality, and the other presenting a golden color, filled with a sacred and ancient majestic intent.

...

On the third day,

Chen Meier and Captain Song Changfeng both advanced to the Xiang Realm and stopped cultivating.

Just as they wanted to rejoice for a moment, suddenly another unprovoked storm swept up.

Above the battlefield,

the golden points of light gradually magnified, and a dragon shadow flew out from within the light points, projecting towards the sky.

That was a phantom dragon image spanning across the sky, its entire body emitting a sacred golden aura, especially those vertical pupils, ancient and majestic.

"Roar—"

A dragon roar resounded through the sky, and the dragon shadow actually gradually solidified, like a true golden giant dragon, hidden within the clouds, indifferently looking down upon the world.

That astonishing dragon might actually caused all living creatures in the world to involuntarily want to bow in submission.

"What is that thing?"

Captain Song Changfeng was dumbfounded.

Chen Meier was likewise stunned: "That should also be a Divine Sovereign Phase..."

Having witnessed Shen Xingchen condense three Divine Sovereign Phases, Chen Meier was all too familiar with this. Although that dragon shadow was incomparably majestic, its posture and appearance clearly still retained the outline of a Divine Sovereign Phase.

"Is it... the Young Marshal's?"

Captain Song Changfeng asked uncertainly.

Chen Meier's gaze was complex: "There are only the three of us here, who else could it be?"

Just as her voice fell,

an even louder dragon roar erupted from the horizon, and a Dragon Emperor Phase completely solidified, coiling within the clouds and mist, the golden giant claws and dragon body flickering in and out of sight, and every single dragon scale reflecting dazzling light like golden armor.

Shen Xingchen sat cross-legged in the void, with a dragon shadow born behind him.

If one looked up from the ground, the youth seemed like he was sitting atop the dragon's head, resembling a god or an immortal.

Shen Xingchen slightly sensed the surrounding power, then gathered his spiritual power and put away the Dragon Emperor Phase.

It was also at this moment that the cyan light cluster burst forth with blinding light.

A slender figure walked out from within the cyan light cluster, wearing a wide-sleeved long dress with her purple hair fluttering, resembling both a noble dynastic princess and a fairy from the nine heavens fallen into the mortal world.

Shen Xingchen's face was filled with pleasant surprise: "Qiyuan!"

Qiyuan nodded.

Shen Xingchen stepped forward, pulling Qiyuan's arm with his left hand and pinching Qiyuan's shoulder with his right hand, full of novelty: "It's actually real, you really reshaped a perfect physical body!"

He could feel that majestic vitality within Qiyuan's body.

Qiyuan should now be considered a King-tier expert, and based on her past battle records, even among King-tier experts, she was considered a very strong one.

Qiyuan felt a wave of discomfort from being pulled, stepped back two steps, and cast him a disdainful look: "Scoundrel!"

Shen Xingchen laughed heartlessly: "I'm just happy in my heart seeing that you've been resurrected!"

Qiyuan did not dwell further on this topic, and instead said: "My father's Dragon Qi has disappeared for many years, and now that it has been obtained by you, it is truly destiny."

Shen Xingchen only then remembered the Qin Emperor and asked: "Where did your father go?"

Qiyuan looked around, and her gaze once again held a bit more sorrow: "My father's consciousness could not remain clear for long; thinking about it, he must have been afraid of harming us after going mad, so he chose to dissipate on his own."

Shen Xingchen sighed: "My condolences."

Qiyuan quickly adjusted her emotions: "My father passed away many years ago, what condolences are needed? Let's go down."

Shen Xingchen followed Qiyuan and fluttered down to the center of the battlefield.

This time, those grudge spirits that were always full of malice toward outsiders actually cleared a path on their own.

Shen Xingchen quickly understood that these grudge spirits were all subordinates of the Qin Emperor in life. Now that he had inherited the Qin Emperor's Dragon Qi, and Qiyuan was the former Princess Huayang, these grudge spirits, even though they had lost their memories, still maintained an instinctive loyalty.

Qiyuan came before a long spear and said to Shen Xingchen: "This is the last item left behind by my father."

Shen Xingchen nodded.

That was a spear golden from top to bottom, its inscriptions shining brightly like dragon scales. Although it appeared less sharp due to the erosion of time, just looking at it twice allowed one to guess the past glory of this long spear.

Qiyuan said: "Without my father's mark, this long spear can already be considered an ownerless object. You can use its materials to forge a long spear belonging to you."

Shen Xingchen was stunned: "This wouldn't be good, right? After all, it is your father's only legacy."

Qiyuan pulled the golden spear out of the black soil and handed it into Shen Xingchen's hands: "The deceased are gone, it's enough to keep them in your heart. The material of this spear is Dragon Emperor Red Gold, which is most suitable for forging your new weapon."

Shen Xingchen did not decline further.

The two came to the valley entrance.

For the first time seeing Qiyuan from such close proximity, Captain Song Changfeng couldn't help praising: "Good grief, this is simply too beautiful..."

Chen Meier glanced at the good-for-nothing Captain Song Changfeng, then turned her head to look at Qiyuan: "Miss Qiyuan, long time no see!"

The two had once crossed paths in the Land of Miracles, but Qiyuan was still in a little loli state back then.

During the battle with Xuan Xiang, Qiyuan revealed her true soul appearance, fiercely shocking Chen Meier and making her realize what a goddess-like girl she was.

Qiyuan nodded and greeted Chen Meier.

Three people came, four people left.

The group spent two hours returning to the teleportation array entrance once more.

A blue light rose, and the four appeared on the black teleportation platform in the eastern part of Snowfield Dragon City.

Breathing in the long-lost air, Shen Xingchen felt joy from the bottom of his heart, finally coming to Snowfield Dragon City in the identity of the Xiang Realm!
