Dragon Blooded War God

"Joining the Underworld Soldiers elevates one’s status and earns the respect of others. More importantly, Underworld Soldiers have access to Divine-tier martial techniques. If you join them and your performance is excellent for a year, you are given a Divine-tier martial technique.”

Xiong Wan’er was visibly excited when she talked about the Divine-tier martial technique.

There was only one Divine-tier martial technique in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, and that was the Emperor’s Manual. But now Long Chen learned that almost all ninety-million Underworld Soldiers would be given one.

He felt numb after hearing the shocking information.

Long Chen and Xiong Wan’er discussed more as they traveled to Scarlet Water City. After some time, they exited the forest and reached a large plain. The soil was a rusty red and incredibly coarse. It gave off an air of desolation.

They spotted a small city on the horizon. It looked rusty from afar, and it was most likely the destination of Xiong Jun and the others, Scarlet Water City.

“Sister, we are almost there. I really hope that I will get to meet the Underworld Soldier and become his disciple!”

“Silly brother, you are too rash. The Underworld Soldier is very highly ranked. Don’t cause any trouble for them, or they will kill you and our tribe.”

“I know, I know. You are nagging me too much. Also, what have you been talking about with Big Brother Long Chen?”

“Nothing. We spoke about nothing! Stop trying to embarrass me!” She punched and chased after her naughty brother.

They were much safer now that they had exited the forest, so they relaxed a bit. They talked and joked as they made their way to the city.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Soon, they found themselves in front of the city. It had been built beside a scarlet river. It was called the Scarlet Water River due to its rusty color, and the city was named after it.

It wasn’t a large city, and there were numerous cities of this size in the Divine Martial Empire. It would fit at most tens of thousands of people, but Long Chen felt an unseen pressure in his heart whenever he thought that there were a hundred million of such cities in just the Eastern Royal District.

“The city is managed by the mayor, and it has its own army. Some of our tribe's people are soldiers. Still, we shouldn’t cause any trouble when we enter the city.”

Xiong Wan’er warned everyone, including Long Chen, before they entered the city.

Compared to the others, Long Chen’s body was more slender and his aura wasn’t strong, so he wasn’t that attention-grabbing.

Long Chen never stopped observing the people and his surroundings when he was outside the city. Most of the city’s soldiers were at least at the Heavenly Martial Realm. There were groups of them, each as strong as Lei Ji, but all of them were working low-ranking jobs.

Naturally, there were civilians below the Heavenly Martial Realm here. There were even children who had yet to reach the Three Martial Realms. It was just a small and normal city, but everyone here was a cultivator. It was an unnatural sight.

Because the Barbaric Bear Tribe had people working in the city, they were more familiar with the area. Xiong Jun was also quite famous in the tribe because he had reached the Fourth Heavenly Martial Stage at such a young age. It was very likely that he had come to Scarlet Water City numerous times before since he had connections with some of the people there. He only needed to talk with the army for a while before they let everyone, including Long Chen, into the city.

Long Chen followed them in and looked around.

There are a lot of experts in the Three Royal Territories, and almost everyone is a cultivator. To think that a tenth of the people here in this small city are already at the Heavenly Martial Realm. But the livelihood and culture of the people here are similar to the Ten Thousand Nations Territory.

Also… To think that the city walls are so tough. Can I even put a dent on them if I use my full strength at the Fifth Heavenly Martial Stage?

This was an important question.

Long Chen had to admit that he felt that he was back in Baiyang Town. Scarlet Water City’s situation resembled Baiyang Town a lot.

“Sister, I want to stay in the inn that we stayed at last time. After we book our rooms, we can head to the mayor’s estate to see if we can get any information on the Underworld Soldier.”

Xiong Wan’er nodded. “Alright, let’s do that.”

Long Chen didn’t know the layout of Scarlet Water City, so he decided to stay with them for now. He also wanted to use this chance to see an Underworld Soldier up close.

Someone at the Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage was far too strong for him to fight.

Xiong Jun was somehow loaded, so he booked the most luxurious inn in the city. He even booked an extra separate room for Long Chen alone.

“Such toughness!” Long Chen was sweating when he touched the materials of the room. A single punch from him could’ve demolished the entire inn in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. But due to the overlord spiritual energy, the materials here were extremely tough, to the point that a single punch from him only lightly shook the room.

Long Chen had to reconsider his plan after being left alone in the room.

I’m too weak to go to the Underworld Estate right now. I need to become stronger, at least up to the Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage. Only then can I go there. I have to do it while I’m traveling.

But first, I need to find a map of the Underworld Estate.

Long Chen planned to stay here for a bit longer to observe the situation. He didn’t know his way around yet, so it would be unwise to act impulsively.

Thankfully, he had Sight, so he would notice the moment anyone entered his range.

He took out the Heavenly Martial Fist Manual and started looking at it again.

Suddenly, he had a daring thought.

Do I really need the manual to cultivate the Heavenly Martial Realm? Are there any other methods?

To him, the Heavenly Martial Fist Manual was profound, so it would take him a long time to study it. Even the people in the Three Royal Territories followed the Heavenly Martial Fist Manual step by step. Both the Earthly Martial Fist Manual and the Heavenly Martial Fist Manual had been left behind by the ancestors of mankind and were widely spread.

If the manuals didn’t exist, then the Dragon Continent would’ve been much weaker than it was right now.

After studying the manual for a bit, Long Chen started to study the Emperor’s Manual and the Emperor Vanquishers.

While looking at them, he suddenly recalled that he had the True Martial Overlord Soul. The Five Emperors had told him that it was an important object that even the Demon Tribe had tried to steal.

He took the little gray ball out of the Primordial Realm and twirled it around his fingers. There was a faint, gray shadow inside the ball, but he had no idea what it was.

“Hm?” Long Chen suddenly realized that the True Martial Overlord Soul was shaking lightly in his palm.

“What is this? Is it afraid?” Long Chen thought he had misunderstood it, because the little gray ball appeared to be afraid of him.

What was it afraid of?

Long Chen paid closer attention to it before realizing that the Dragon Jade Pendant inside his sea of consciousness was reacting slightly.

The Dragon Jade Pendant was shaped like a dragon, and its eyes were lit up and it was staring at the True Martial Overlord Soul! That was most likely the reason why the True Martial Overlord Soul was shaking.

Long Chen finally understood what was happening.

So it’s the Dragon Jade Pendant that’s spooking the True Martial Overlord Soul. I suppose that’s normal if the Dragon Jade Pendant can even suppress the Inherited Blood Essence of an Ancestor Dragon.

Long Chen had a profound feeling because he could sense the oppressive aura coming from the eyes from the Dragon Jade Pendant. The oppressive feeling was even stronger than what the Inherited Blood Essence of the Ancestor Dragon gave off. He quickly retreated from his own sea of consciousness.

“Big Brother Long Chen!”

Just then, he heard someone calling his name in a panic.

He quickly put the True Martial Overlord Soul away and stood up. The strange eyes of the Dragon Jade Pendant died down when Long Chen put the True Martial Overlord Soul back in the Primordial Realm.

Long Chen sighed in relief when he saw that everything was back to normal.

At that moment, Xiong Wan’er charged into the room, her face pale. “Big Brother! Jun… Jun’er is fighting with someone below! That person is very strong!”

Xiong Jun was fighting someone?

Long Chen didn’t want to fight anyone, but because he was traveling with Xiong Jun and the rest, he thought that it was only right to play his part in helping them. Long Chen trusted in fate, so he ran down without any hesitation to help him.

He could see the situation on the ground floor from the corridor above. Everyone in the main hall had retreated to the sides and watched the fight in the middle.

Xiong Jun and the other youths from the Barbaric Bear Tribe were fighting against a young lady. Or rather, the young lady was dominating them. She was ruthless and injured two of the youths within seconds.

“You guys, stand back! I will hold her off!”

Xiong Jun roared because he could not afford to see any more of his friends get injured. He ran to the front and punched the young lady numerous times.

His body was bulky and rippling with muscles. Every time he punched, his muscles contracted explosively as the air echoed with dull thuds.

It was clear that Xiong Jun was strong, seeing as he could disturb even the dense overlord spiritual energy in the air.

But the young lady was even stronger!
