Dragon Blooded War God

Jiang Wuya and the others nodded. “That’s a good idea, but the place has to be very remote.”

Long Chen then bade them goodbye. He kept the Scarlet Emperor Seal and the Black Emperor Seal in the Primordial Realm, which would be controlled by Little Cat if he died. The Martial Overlord would never be able to get his hands on the Five Emperor Seals like that.

Long Chen left the Battle clan and made his way towards the center of the Divine Martial Empire, Martial Overlord City.

Because he was disguised as Chen Guangjun, he had to keep Xiaolang in the Primordial Realm to maintain his disguise. Xiaolang didn’t mind at all.

Long Chen already knew the path to reach Martial Overlord City.

The journey was long, but thankfully, he had something to do, and that was cultivating the Wind God Kick.

It was quite lucky that he had managed to snatch Yang Ningfeng’s Universe Pouch before he killed him. He thought he would only be able to find money like King Crystals, but he ended up finding the secret technique of the Wind God Sect.

Long Chen had never cultivated any strong leg techniques before, and he actually admired the Wind God Kick. Thankfully, the Wind God Kick was a martial technique on the same tier as the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw, so it was strong enough to be worth the time investment. A technique for his claws and a technique for his legs. It could be said that his entire body was a weapon that complimented his combat style well.

If Long Chen managed to cultivate the Wind God Kick, he would be able to use it with the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw and Willow Step. Three intermediate King-tier martial techniques would be the basis of his combat style, elevating him to the next stage.

“Zhao Danchen would lose to me if I combined the Wind God Kick and the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw.”

Long Chen started to cultivate it. With his experience in cultivating the other two intermediate King-tier martial techniques coupled with his talent, he cultivated it even faster than the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw. More importantly, he had seen Yang Ningfeng use it a few times, so he knew what the technique looked like when it was completed.

After reaching the Second Earthly Martial Stage, he had as much essence as someone at the Third Earthly Martial Stage once he used his Dragon Soul Transformation. He now had the strength to cultivate the final technique of the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw.

Unfortunately, he would not be able to use the Wind God Kick and the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw while he was in the city since he was disguised as Chen Guangjun. The Martial King was also called the Hundred-War Martial King thanks to his martial technique the Hundred-War Blade Technique. It was a fairly strong King-tier technique that was passed down in his family.

Long Chen focused on cultivating the Wind God Kick. There were the Whirlwind Style, Typhoon Style, and Wind God Style. He was also running like the wind as he headed towards Martial Overlord City.

During the journey, he continued to improve himself in terms of essence. It took him dozens of days to reach Martial Overlord City from the Battle clan. He finally saw an end to the wilderness when he spotted the large city.

It was a golden city, one bigger than any he had ever seen. It looked just like the golden palaces of the heavens surrounded by clouds. The golden light reflecting off the walls lit up the clouds and made the entire place look dreamy.

In the middle of the city was a plume of pure white gas shooting upwards into the skies, forming a white mushroom cloud. Long Chen took a breath and could feel the dense nature’s spiritual energy entering his body,

“The spiritual energy here is so dense yet so pure. No wonder the people in this place are stronger than in other places. I think that cultivating here would be tens of thousands of times faster compared to the Cangyang Kingdom.”

Long Chen was speechless.

The Cangyang Kingdom couldn’t produce any exceptionally strong individuals due to the lack of spiritual energy. Long Chen might never have been able to reach the Earthly Martial Realm if he hadn’t come here.

That was why Lu Xuanji, and even Ling Xi’s family, had determined that Long Chen would never be able to become strong if he stayed in the Cangyang Kingdom his entire life.

A regular warrior from the Divine Martial Empire could become a king in the Cangyang Kingdom. But why didn’t they go there? That was because they would feel suffocated, like a big fish trapped in a puddle.

Martial Overlord City gave Long Chen a big shock.

The closer he got to the city, the larger it grew. It was too big; even the walls themselves were thousands of meters tall. Long Chen raised his head and saw nothing but the endless golden wall reaching all the way up to the sky.

The city was separated into the outer and inner cities. The inner city was the true Martial Overlord City, while the outer city was where millions of regular people lived. The nobles and even the regular members of the Martial Alliance were living in the outer city. Except for stronger factions like the Huangfu family and the Ancient Demon Domain, everyone considered it an honor to be able to live in Martial Overlord City.

Long Chen stopped in front of the golden gates. He didn’t follow the others into the city but instead approached a small gate. Even though the gate was small, the guards were all at the Ninth Passage Stage.

This was the door that only people in the upper echelons could enter. Regular people had to line up at the main gate and wait for their turn to enter.

Long Chen was now Chen Guangjun, the Hundred-War Martial King. He was more than qualified to enter through the small door. If he used the main gate, he would arouse suspicion.

He had learned everything he needed to know back in the Battle clan.

As the Hundred-War Martial King, he naturally had something to verify his identity, and that was the Martial King’s golden token. Not only was the token inscribed with his name and face, there were only around forty Martial Kings to begin with, so the guards naturally recognized all of them.

Long Chen approached them, and the guards immediately kneeled. “Greetings, Hundred-War Martial King.”

“Stand up.” According to the information he had received, the Hundred-War Martial King loved to fight and was cold to others. He was usually very quiet, so it was easy for Long Chen to impersonate him.

The guards stood up. The captain of the guards walked over and saluted. “Greetings, Hundred-War Martial King. I am Gong Sunsheng. You’ve disappeared for more than ten days without any news. Where have you been?”

“None of your business.” Long Chen glared at him.

“Yes, I’ve spoken too much.” Gong Sunsheng knew about Chen Guangjun’s temperament, so he stepped back immediately. He would’ve actually suspected Long Chen if the latter had provided an explanation.

After Gong Sunsheng retreated, Long Chen entered the city without even looking back. The others saluted him until Long Chen was deep inside the city. Afterwards, Gong Sunsheng spat onto the ground, “Tsk. You are only at the First Earthly Martial Stage. I will be able to enter the inner city one day. Let’s see how you act when I do.”

It was clear that Long Chen’s disguise was perfect.

After he entered the city, Long Chen saw that he had underestimated how rich the city was. This was the core of the Divine Martial Empire. There were people everywhere, but thanks to Long Chen’s identity, none of the people dared to get close to him.

Long Chen didn’t want to stir up trouble, so he went straight towards the inner city. He merely took short glances at the bustling streets on the way.

Most of the people living in the outer city were either nobles or family members of members of the Martial Alliance.

Long Chen noticed that everyone he laid eyes on was at least at the Heavenly River Stage, even the peddlers. Martial Overlord City truly was a powerhouse. Long Chen recalled how Heavenly River Stage cultivators were at the peak of Yuanling City.

Long Chen continued to make his way towards the inner city.

Suddenly …

“Big Brother, wait.” Mo Xiaolang’s voice came from within the Primordial Realm. Long Chen heard it loud and clear since he was the owner of the Primordial Realm.

“What is it?”

“Look to your left.”

Long Chen looked to the left and saw an eight-story-tall golden pagoda. It was decorated beautifully. The golden sign on the entrance read: Martial Merchant Alliance.

Long Chen recognized the organization. It was a merchant organization run by the Martial Alliance that operated throughout the Divine Martial Empire to control the economy. They sold many wares such as ingredients, martial techniques, spiritual herbs, and Divine Arms. They had everything a cultivator needed.

The pagoda was clearly their headquarters.

“Is there something good inside?”

Xiaolang nodded. “There’s a blazing flame on the eighth floor that will help my cultivation.”

Long Chen nodded. He only needed money to obtain it, so it wouldn’t expose his identity.

Long Chen made his way towards the pagoda. Several guards were stationed at the entrance, scrutinizing the crowd, but they mellowed out the moment they saw Long Chen’s attire and recognized him as a high-ranked official.
