Dragon God Supreme

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Challenge Begins (Third Update) Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Challenge Begins (Third Update) The fifth layer of space.

At this moment, Feng Wuchen was devouring the pure energy of the energy orbs, as one fiery red orb after another surged into his body.

Devour now, refine later.

With the seventh layer of space accessible, Feng Wuchen had several more days, ample time to refine some energy orbs.

The crown prince of the Shuiyue Empire was fierce in strength, so Feng Wuchen had to make thorough preparations.

Shortly after, Feng Wuchen, who was frantically devouring energy orbs, became filled with massive energy, causing his body to swell.

With a thought, Feng Wuchen instantly arrived in the seventh layer of space.

The Supreme Dragon God Decision was activated, and he crazily refined the large and pure energy orbs he had devoured.

The purer the power, the faster the refinement, far more potent than elixirs.

The energy orbs in the fifth layer of space were entirely formed by the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower absorbing the spiritual energy from the outside world, and it also required a certain amount of time to refine into pure energy orbs.

The pure energy of the energy orbs was comparable to the treasures nurtured by heaven and earth, possessing equally pure power.

Elixirs were different, though purified by Alchemists from impurities, they were man-made and not nurtured by heaven and earth, hence, the purity of their power fell far short of heaven and earth’s treasures.

Days went by, and Feng Wuchen’s cultivation level rose swiftly. Although he was unable to break through to the Sixth Layer of the Yuan Dan Realm, he was at least stronger than he had been a few days ago.

“Within one month, no, within half a month, I will be able to step into the Sixth Layer of the Yuan Dan Realm!” After leaving the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower and feeling the enlarged True Yuan, Feng Wuchen said joyfully.

Taking a deep breath and forcefully suppressing the elation in his heart, Feng Wuchen said, “The time is almost up.”

Outside the Grand Commander’s residence, Duan Tian Hun and the Empire’s high-ranking officials were all waiting.

Seeing Feng Wuchen emerge from the palace, the officials bowed respectfully, “We welcome the Grand Commander.”

“We welcome Master!” Yang Tianxian and Situ Zhentian greeted respectfully.

“The time is almost up, let’s head to Tianhun Mountain at once,” Duan Tian Hun said smilingly, scrutinizing Feng Wuchen closely, surprised to find him very calm, without a hint of worry.

Feng Wuchen was indeed calm, giving off an even more confident aura.

Duan Tian Hun thought to himself, “Just three days and this kid feels different. He really is a terrifying genius. This fight is truly something to look forward to.”

The news that the crown prince of the Shuiyue Empire had challenged the Grand Commander of the Yanhuo Empire had already spread throughout the four empires.

As the word spread, the four empires were shaken.

At this moment, high-ranking officials and numerous powerhouses from the four empires had already gathered near Tianhun Mountain, waiting for the great battle to begin.

“Let’s go,” Feng Wuchen nodded.

With a wave of his hand, Duan Tian Hun unleashed a formidable force that instantly dragged Yang Tianxian and the other officials into the sky, heading straight for Tianhun Mountain.

Feng Wuchen invoked the Supreme Dragon God Sword and began Sword Flight.

The blood-red Supreme Dragon God Sword was extremely eye-catching, and it radiated a wildly violent aura, causing the great powers of the empires to turn their heads in unison.

“Is that the middle-tier Spiritual Artifact forged by the Master?” Situ Zhentian thought in shock.

“This sword is terrifying! It’s not comparable to ordinary middle-tier Spiritual Artifacts, its mere aura is enough to strike fear into one’s heart.”

“As befits the Grand Commander, the Spiritual Artifacts he crafts are this fearsome.”

Many powerhouses expressed their amazement in discussion. After witnessing it themselves, everyone was intimidated by the power of the Supreme Dragon God Sword.

The Imperial Capital was not far from Tianhun Mountain, and after just over ten minutes, they had arrived.

Surrounding Tianhun Mountain on all sides were vast gatherings of cultivators from the four empires, every one of them powerful, with terrifying auras pervasive throughout the entire mountain range.

“They’re here!”

“The emperor of the Yanhuo Empire has also stepped into the Tianyuan Realm!”

“Tianyuan Realm powerhouses are truly enviable, able to soar through the void.”

All eyes turned to the sky, looking at Duan Tian Hun and the other empire’s powerhouses. The scene began to buzz with excitement.

The other three emperors and their senior officials also turned their attention to Duan Tian Hun.

“Tianyuan Realm First Layer, Duan Tian Hun has also successfully stepped into the Tianyuan Realm,” a sovereign murmured to himself.

Duan Tian Hun, escorting Yang Tianxian and the others, slowly descended onto the massive summit of Tianhun Mountain. Duan Tian Hun smiled and said, “Three sovereigns, it’s been a long time.”

“Hehe, congratulations to Emperor Duan Tian Hun for entering the Tianyuan Realm,” the emperor of the Luoyun Empire said with a smile.

“It’s been many years, and Emperor Duan Tian Hun’s cultivation has improved quite a bit,” the emperor of the Shuiyue Empire said politely.

“Aren’t all three sovereigns’ cultivations also in the Tianyuan Realm?” Duan Tian Hun replied with a polite smile.

The emperor of the Tianwu Empire asked directly, “Emperor Duan Tian Hun, which one among you is the Grand Commander of your empire? This king has yet to see him, and for someone who has won the first place in the talent ranking battle, he must be extraordinary.”

“Swoosh!”

No sooner had the emperor of the Tianwu Empire spoken than a powerful sonic boom came from above, drawing everyone’s attention.

“He’s coming,” Duan Tian Hun said with a hint of pride.

Above, a streak of blood shot across the sky at an astonishing speed.

“Sword Flight!”

“A mid-grade Spiritual Artifact! What is this wildly ferocious aura?”

“Such a fearsome aura! Is he the Grand Commander of the Flamefire Empire? The first in the genius list of martial artists, Feng Wuchen?”

“He’s also an Alchemist! His soul power is extremely robust! At least a Fourth Rank Alchemist!”

Everyone present couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, their eyes widening as they watched Feng Wuchen descend to the summit of Tianhun Mountain via Sword Flight.

Even more shocking to the crowd was that Feng Wuchen was also a Fourth Rank Alchemist!

To reach the level of a Fourth Rank Alchemist at such a young age was definitely the mark of a genius alchemist!

“Brother Feng!”

“Big Brother Feng!”

Ling Xiaoxiao and Liu Qingyang were calling out and waving from afar, their faces filled with joy.

Not just them, Feng Zhengxiong and Xiao Qingqing had also arrived; how could they not come when Feng Wuchen was about to clash with the Great Prince of the Shuiyue Empire?

“He can perform Sword Flight even in the Yuandan Realm!”

“How is this possible? He’s not in the Tianyuan Realm; it’s impossible for him to fly with his sword!”

“Not even Tianyuan Realm powerhouses can necessarily manage Sword Flight! Yet someone from the Yuandan Realm has done it.”

Powerhouses from the three great empires were all shocked!

Sword Flight was something that only powerhouses in the Tianyuan Realm were capable of, yet Feng Wuchen wasn’t in the Tianyuan Realm but could still perform Sword Flight, which was incredibly frightening.

What’s more important was that Feng Wuchen had concealed his cultivation level; others could not see his cultivation and even thought he had entered the Tianyuan Realm!

“A newly refined mid-grade Spiritual Artifact? Strange, this wild aura is exactly the same as the Grand Commander’s True Yuan aura!” Mu Tianyun said in shock.

His face filled with astonishment, Mu Yunshan said, “Right! The aura is identical! Other mid-grade Spiritual Artifacts don’t have such a violent aura.”

Powerful figures from all the major forces of the Flamefire Empire were also quite shaken.

“The Grand Commander of the Flamefire Empire is indeed extraordinary! Duan Tian Hun made a good choice conferring the title of Grand Commander upon him, seeing the talent that Feng Wuchen possesses. It’s terrifying indeed, and it’s understandable why Duan Tian Hun values him so highly,” thought the Shuiyue Emperor, his gaze evaluating Feng Wuchen.

“Sword Flight, so he’s Feng Wuchen? He has hidden his cultivation, and the Spiritual Artifact’s aura is so wild; it seems his sword technique must be quite fearsome,” murmured the Great Prince of the Shuiyue Empire with a slight frown, his expression grave.

Even knowing that Feng Wuchen might have reached the Fifth Layer of the Yuandan Realm, the mere fact of him performing Sword Flight was enough to make others wary of underestimating him.

“This sword’s aura is wild and intimidating, and his cultivation level is obscure. This kid has hidden his strength deeply,” the Tianwu Emperor thought to himself, his eyes also surveying Feng Wuchen.

Having descended, Feng Wuchen withdrew the Supreme Dragon God Sword into his body and politely said, “I’ve seen the three emperors.”

Giving the three great emperors a glance with indifferent eyes, Feng Wuchen thought to himself, “Second Layer of Tianyuan Realm, truly worthy of being the leader of the four great empires, the strength of the Shuiyue Emperor is indeed formidable!”

“The Grand Commander is too courteous,” replied the three emperors with faint smiles.

The State Preceptor of the Shuiyue Empire said with a light smile, “A Fourth Rank Alchemist, with an extremely high talent for Alchemy. Even within the Shuiyue Empire, it’s hard to find a young alchemist with such high talent as the Grand Commander.”

“Duan Emperor, your Flamefire Empire has produced a real genius,” another elder said with a smile.

“A Fourth Rank Alchemist?” The three emperors, along with many high-ranking officials, were all taken aback in shock.

Wasn’t Feng Wuchen a Third-grade Alchemist? When did he become a Fourth Rank?

After the end of the genius list martial arts competition, the various empires had some understanding of Feng Wuchen, and at that time, he was said to be just a Third-grade Alchemist. Not much time had passed, yet he had stepped into the level of a Fourth Rank Alchemist.

Wasn’t the improvement of his Alchemy realm alarmingly fast?

Seeing the shocked expressions of the three emperors, the smile on Duan Tian Hun’s face became even more radiant.

Situ Zhentian secretly smirked to himself, “If they knew that my master is also a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner and possesses the divine skill of Thought-Forming Instrumentation, they’d be scared to death!”

Of course, such a terrifying identity is naturally not something that Situ Zhentian and others would reveal.

“The Great Prince of the Shuiyue Empire, Lei Jue!” the Great Prince of the Shuiyue Empire introduced himself proactively.

“Feng Wuchen,” Feng Wuchen responded with a fist salute.

“The battle between the Great Prince of the Shuiyue Empire and the Grand Commander of the Flamefire Empire is truly something to look forward to.” The Prince of the Tianwu Empire said with a smile.

“Feng Wuchen, I will not hold back in our fight,” the Great Prince of the Shuiyue Empire said, his eyes blazing with enthusiasm as he smiled, his strong desire for battle spreading through the air.

“Just what I wanted,” Feng Wuchen nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with confidence.

“If that’s the case, then let’s begin,” said the Shuiyue Emperor. The crowd stepped back, making room for the fight.

Silence fell over the arena, and the gazes of countless powerhouses landed on the summit of Tianhun Mountain.

Feng Wuchen was the first of the genius list martial artists, and Lei Jue was the strongest prince; everyone was filled with anticipation for their battle.

Yet no one could discern Feng Wuchen’s exact cultivation level, leading to various speculations in their hearts.

This battle was the center of everyone’s attention.

“The last time, Nie Yang, who was the first on the genius list, fell against me. I wonder if you, the current first on the genius list martial artist, will also fall to me,” Lei Jue said with a light smile, full of confidence in his own strength.

“That’s hard to say; we’ll only know after we’ve fought,” Feng Wuchen said with a laugh, also full of confidence in his own abilities.

“Buzz, buzz!”

The True Yuan within Lei Jue surged, and his overpowering strength erupted like a flood, shaking the mountain summit and causing cracks to spread all around.

“Feng Wuchen, bring out your full strength and fight me!” Lei Jue suddenly bellowed, his fighting spirit soaring high, and his fearsome power surged wildly.
