Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 225: Without Suppressing Them, I’m Invincible Too!
Thinking of missiles, Ning Xuan’s eyes lit up.
For an emperor, there is no greater achievement than expanding his territory!
Ning Xuan immediately had a plan.
「One hour later.」
The sovereign personally saw Ning Xuan’s family out of the Emperor Capital, accompanied by a beautiful maidservant who exuded an empress-like grace. Once they were outside the Emperor Capital, the scene before Ning Xuan changed again.
This time, what appeared before him was a long, narrow corridor. Looking up, all he could see was a sliver of sky. This was the Broken Dragon Abyss.
"Damn it, I’m finally back!"
"Mist Hidden, right? I know you can see and hear me. Stop these meaningless tricks; they’re useless against me!"
"My time is precious. Just bring on your best tricks. I’m not interested in playing these childish games with you."
BUZZ!
Suddenly, clouds and mist erupted, engulfing Ning Xuan. This time, he was returned to six years prior. Not only was his Bloodline stripped from him again, but he even witnessed the scene of his grandfather and parents fighting a bloody battle for him. Not only was the old wound cruelly torn open, but he also had to endure the agony of his loved ones being humiliated.
Worse, he could only watch the subsequent events unfold, powerless to intervene. He was still himself, yet the events unfolding before him felt as if they were separated by time and space itself.
Before he knew it, Ning Xuan’s face was streaked with tears. But there was no longer any hatred in his heart. Because hatred could not solve the problem.
"However, justice must be served!" Ning Xuan muttered, his expression gradually calming.
BUZZ!
The void trembled, and Ning Xuan returned to the Broken Dragon Abyss. The clouds before him churned, quickly morphing into a ghastly mask.
"Boy, your Bloodline was stolen, your closest kin were killed, and your parents fled, bathed in blood, their whereabouts still unknown to this day. You can endure all that? You are unfilial!" the ghastly mask spoke, its voice genderless.
Ning Xuan grinned, flashing his teeth. "The reason I don’t smile is that I think I look ugly when I do. I’m smiling now. Do you think it’s ugly?"
BANG!
The clouds shook violently, and the ghastly mask exploded.
RUMBLE—
Before Ning Xuan, clouds roiled, filled with terrifying flashes of lightning and peals of thunder.
Mist Hidden was going mad!
Damn it, is this kid toxic or something?! I was talking about being unfilial! Unfilial! What the hell is this ’the reason I don’t smile is because I look ugly’ nonsense?!
Mist Hidden’s greatest skill was manipulating minds, planting Heart Demons, and killing budding geniuses.
But now, I’m on the verge of developing a Heart Demon of my own because of this kid! My foolproof methods, which work on everyone else, have not only completely failed on this boy but have even backfired, allowing him to run rampant! Fuck, fuck, fuck! This is so damn screwed up!
To make matters worse, Ning Xuan was still making sarcastic remarks.
"What’s going on? People say ’all thunder and no rain,’ but why is it only thundering here without a single drop?"
BANG!
All the dense mist, thick as Chaos energy, exploded. Mist Hidden’s composure completely shattered.
ROAR!
But just then, from behind the exploding clouds, a terrifying true dragon appeared! It emanated a terrifying aura, one that could suppress all of antiquity and dominate the heavens and the earth. It was as if it had torn through the river of time from Ancient Times to arrive here! All of creation had to submit before such overwhelming divine might!
Ning Xuan blinked. He gave it a single glance.
The next moment, the true dragon whipped its tail, tore open the void, and fled for its life!
The omnipresent Mist Hidden was dumbfounded.
What just happened?! That was the soul of a true dragon! The power it just radiated was genuine Dragon Might! Why did it flee in terror after just one look from this guy??
Mist Hidden was stunned, its mind cracking.
How could it know that one of the twelve Divine Veins in Ning Xuan’s body was a true dragon? More importantly, he cultivated the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Scripture! What was an Ancestral Dragon? The progenitor of the Dragon Clan! Forget a mere dragon soul; even if a true dragon from Ancient Times tore through the river of time to come here, its only option would be to flee!
"Why did it run away?" Ning Xuan blinked as well, a puzzled look on his face.
The clouds rolled violently, once again enveloping Ning Xuan. This time, however, Ning Xuan remained where he stood. Nothing happened, which he found very strange.
"How is this possible?!"
"How can your Mental State be completely without flaws now?!"
The ghastly mask reappeared. If it had eyes, they would surely be as wide as lanterns right now.
"No flaws? Isn’t that a good thing?" Ning Xuan blinked, retorting with a question of his own.
"Good my ass! If your Mental State has no flaws, then I... Bah, forget it. You pass. The item you want is up ahead. Go get it yourself."
With that, Mist Hidden vanished.
Ning Xuan continued forward, appearing to stroll leisurely, yet he didn’t lower his guard in the slightest. However, no danger appeared, right up until he had the Nine-Leaf Godly Herb in his hand. But when he turned around, he was given a huge fright. For at some unknown point, a hunchbacked old woman leaning on a cane had appeared behind him.
"Young man, could you give the herb you just picked to this old woman? My poor grandson..."
The old crone began to speak but was cut off by Ning Xuan before she could finish. "No!"
He refused flatly, without a hint of hesitation.
The old crone was stunned.
How does this boy not understand the basic principle of respecting the elderly and cherishing the young?
The old crone held back her frustration and spoke again. "Have you never heard the saying? It goes..."
Ning Xuan immediately shook his head. "Never heard it, don’t want to, goodbye."
The old woman was dumbfounded.
What is with this kid? Why doesn’t he play by the book? For me to appear so suddenly in a place like this, I must be a major figure! Anyone else would have started sucking up to me by now. But him? He acts like he’s seen a plague god! Wait! He couldn’t possibly think I’m actually...
Thinking this, the old woman decided to reveal her identity.
"Stop! Young man, I am, in fact, the deity who rules the entire Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace!"
As her voice fell, a sacred aura radiated from her—vast, peerless, and solemn, inspiring an urge to bow in worship.
The Bloodline and Cultivation Secret within Ning Xuan’s body activated in unison to resist the pressure. He then turned his head and said, "What does that have to do with me?"
The old crone nearly choked on his words.
"It has nothing to do with you, but..."
"Then that settles it. I have things to do, so I won’t stay and chat."
Ning Xuan waved dismissively, but as he took a step, the old woman appeared before him.
"The Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace is a Sin Prison. A Martial Artist’s Cultivation here can reach the Peak of the King Realm at most. But I can change that. With a single word from you, I can lift the Prohibition here. Of course, I could also add another layer of Prohibition, suppressing all King Realm experts down to the Heavenly Realm!"
Ning Xuan stared at her, his face a mask of surprise.
The old woman chuckled inwardly.
I finally managed to stop him! That really wasn’t easy!
Unexpectedly, Ning Xuan’s expression grew peculiar. "And what does that have to do with me? I’m not a King Realm Martial Artist."
"You’ve likely offended many people outside, and you’re only in the Heavenly Realm. If they were all suppressed to the Heavenly Realm, wouldn’t you be invincible?"
Ning Xuan smiled. "I’m invincible even without suppressing them! Do as you please, old lady. I’m leaving."
The old crone froze for a moment, then her expression darkened. "Don’t be so arrogant, young man! You’re only at the ninth layer of the Heavenly Realm, aren’t you? How dare you claim to be invincible in the Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace? Believe it or not, I could kill you with a single palm strike!"
As she spoke, her killing intent surged.
