Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 1659 - 1649: Key of the Moment

"Is Youlan here, too? Is she in this place?"

Long Yan asked.

"She is not here. She’s still in seclusion. Once she completes her cultivation, she will return to your side to assist you,"

the King of Lanling answered.

Long Yan nodded slightly, then asked, "You asked me to see you, it surely wasn’t just to tell me these things, right?"

The King of Lanling wouldn’t show himself easily. Once he did, it was certain that he had an important purpose.

"Take out the thing you obtained from the Sealed Gods Ancient Road."

the King of Lanling said.

Long Yan was first startled, then suddenly thought of something and immediately took something out.

It was a key, half a meter long, its material alone exuding an ancient aura. On one side was a coiling giant dragon, its Dragon Might supreme, suppressing all under heaven and earth.

On the other side was a flaming bird, the legendary Vermilion Bird, fearsome and sovereign over the cosmos.

This key was what Long Yan had obtained after climbing the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder. He knew the key was extraordinary, but after studying it for some time, he still hadn’t figured out its purpose.

"You’re talking about this thing, aren’t you?"

Long Yan asked as he tossed the key to the King of Lanling.

Catching the key, the King of Lanling explained to Long Yan, "This is the Key of the Moment, and only you under the heavens can open it."

The Key of the Moment, that was the name of this key.

"The Key of the Moment."

Long Yan nodded slightly, his heart filled with doubts. Why could only he open the Key of the Moment?

"Contained within the Key of the Moment are the Origins of Time and Space. You have received the Azure Dragon Legacy and merged with the Vermilion Bird True Fire, commanding the Mystic of Time and Space. You should understand now,"

the King of Lanling said.

"So, that’s how it is. No wonder I tried some methods, and this thing didn’t respond."

Having had his epiphany, Long Yan now knew what to do, all thanks to the King of Lanling’s explanation.

"Time and Space are among the strongest powers in this world. Though you have obtained these two powers, you haven’t truly mastered them. The real purpose of the Key of the Moment is to fuse Time and Space,"

the King of Lanling explained.

"The fusion of Time and Space!"

Long Yan’s expression quivered as if he had grasped something, like opening an immense portal.

The powers of Time and Space were immensely formidable on their own. If these two powers were combined...

At that moment, the King of Lanling threw the Key of the Moment back to Long Yan, merely reminding him that to unlock it, he had to rely on himself.

"This Key of the Moment, I got it on the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder. Does it have something to do with the Divine Tomb?"

Long Yan asked.

The Divine Tomb was the biggest secret of the Sealed Gods Ancient Road.

"It is related, yet not related. You will know when the time comes,"

the King of Lanling gave Long Yan an ambiguous answer.

Long Yan nodded, then put the Key of the Moment into the Azure Dragon Ring right away, planning to thoroughly research it when he found the time.

"Besides the Key of the Moment, there is another matter,"

the King of Lanling said.

"What matter?"

Long Yan asked.

"From today onwards, you are the fourth Dragon Emperor of Dragon God Ancient City, the Purple Golden Dragon Emperor,"

the King of Lanling stated solemnly.

"What?"

Upon hearing these words, Long Yan nearly stood up, looking at King of Lanling with disbelief in his eyes.

In the Dragon God Ancient City, the status of a Dragon Emperor was that of the leader. Not to mention other aspects, just speaking about strength, he did not possess the qualifications to become a Dragon Emperor.

To make him a Dragon Emperor, wouldn’t that be like putting him on the grill?

"This is no joke, it’s enough that the Dragon God Ancient City has agreed to withstand the calamities for the Emperor Domain. I do not wish to become some Dragon Emperor, besides, I am not from the Dragon God Ancient City."

Long Yan said.

Although he did not know what King of Lanling was playing at, it was still better for him to be cautious to avoid falling into a trap.

"The Demon Dragon Arm that you acquired originally belonged to the Dragon God Ancient City. Having inherited from the Dragon God Ancient City, you are one of its people."

King of Lanling said, "Facing the Havoc of the Emperor Realm, the strength of the Zhenyang Sect alone is far from enough. As the Dragon Emperor, you would be able to command the Dragon God Ancient City, and only then will you have the strength to survive the calamities."

To put it plainly, to make Long Yan the Dragon Emperor was essentially to hand over the Dragon God Ancient City to Long Yan.

"Is there really such good fortune under the heavens?"

Long Yan swallowed, his eyes beginning to shine with avarice.

If things were indeed as King of Lanling described, it would undoubtedly be a stroke of good luck.

"The Dragon God Ancient City is the protector of the Emperor Domain, and you are the Nine Suns Inheritor. The Dragon God Ancient City is meant to follow you; there’s nothing impossible about it."

King of Lanling spoke.

At these words, Long Yan grew even more excited, rubbing his hands together with a radiant smile on his face.

Imagine, with control over the Dragon God Ancient City, he would be stronger than any force within the Emperor Domain. With such power, combined with the strength of the Zhenyang Sect, he would instantly hold the greatest power in the Emperor Domain.

"But, my strength is insufficient, I am afraid I won’t be able to wield control over the Dragon God Ancient City."

Although he was the Nine Suns Inheritor, strength was still required, and with his current strength, it would be difficult to convince the masses.

"The Three Dragon Emperors have already acknowledged you. Becoming a Dragon Emperor is not a difficult task, but I must remind you, the Dragon God Ancient City is only your trump card; you must not reveal it prematurely,"

King of Lanling cautioned Long Yan.

Although he did not interfere with the Emperor Realm’s Havoc and could not directly help Long Yan, he had given the Dragon God Ancient City to Long Yan, which was the greatest assistance he could offer.

"I understand, thank you!"

Long Yan offered a sincere look of gratitude to King of Lanling.

Indeed, King of Lanling had greatly helped him.

"Next, it’s all up to you. If you succeed in the test, we shall meet again."

As soon as he finished speaking, King of Lanling vanished mysteriously, and Long Yan did not even notice how he disappeared.

"Incredible!"

Long Yan was deeply shaken.

King of Lanling was too powerful; in his presence, the Demigod Giants were simply ants.

"I will surely complete the test,"

Long Yan whispered softly to himself.

Back then on the Shenwu Continent, he had faced similar calamities, and the situation was extremely perilous. He was up against the Demon Supreme Lord, Netherworld King, but in the end, he managed to send the Netherworld King down the Path of Reincarnation, resolving the calamities of the Shenwu Continent.

Although he was not certain about the Emperor Realm’s Havoc, he had confidence and boundless fighting spirit.

"To become a Dragon Emperor by such a fluke, haha... that’s not too bad!"

Thinking that he was about to become the fourth Dragon Emperor, Long Yan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

This turned out to be a much greater reward than he had anticipated.

With the formidable power of the Dragon God Ancient City in his grasp, his hand now held a sharp sword with which he could traverse the Emperor Domain, invincible.

"I should go meet with the Three Dragon Emperors."

Right away, Long Yan left the courtyard to find the Three Dragon Emperors.

He needed to return to the Emperor Domain; there were many matters still to discuss, and he had to consult with the Three Dragon Emperors to clarify everything.
