Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 628 Ancient Road
The world of dragons, the crimson dragon's lair.

"He dares to ask for a spot to transform into a dragon egg? I used countless methods to get one myself."

A massive red dragon lay on a high platform at the end of the cave, looking down at the Emerald Wings below.

"Yeah, mainly because he has everything he needs, so he can take us for granted. It's fine if he doesn't help the dragons, but if he helps the giants, then that's a big problem."

"Let me think about it..." Crimson Eyes lowered her head in thought.

The Emerald Dragon's eyes darted around, and it said, "By the way, I said the condition for inviting him was two demigod dragon descendants, but he didn't think much of it. Guess who he chose?"

"Who?"

He asked me, "Are you sure you can do it?"

The crimson-eyed creature flicked its tail tip, swayed, and then immediately fell back down.

"Hmph! How audacious of him to dare to covet my body... Considering his good taste, this will not be allowed to happen again."

The crimson-eyed creature remained unconcerned; dragons weren't as pretentious as humans.

"What about the dragon eggs..." Emerald Wings asked.

"Given his status, he could certainly endure for three to five hundred years. If given the opportunity now, countless demigods would leap and flap their wings. Could he even impart more Dragon God combat techniques?"

"From what he said, it's possible to add more, but not too much."

"I'll go to Longshan to discuss this further. What about the Giants?"

"Shanheyuan went to invite him, and he'll probably bring some good things too. I don't know if it's true or not. It seems like he'll take him to worship the King of Armor and bring out the Frost God Armor and the Wings of the Ice God to give to him."

"The Frost Armor is a high-grade semi-divine artifact, very powerful, but limited. The Wings of the Ice God are a star artifact bestowed by the God of Ice and Snow. Would he really be given to him?"

“Who knows what’s true and what’s false,” said Emerald Wings.

“Let the dragon continue to gather information from the giants, and then we’ll discuss it further.”

"Yes."

The Giants' Court.

Numerous demigod giants, some even ten or twenty meters tall, sat on thrones on either side, and Shanheyuan, like a child, reported what had happened.

"Dragon eggs, those little reptiles are really willing to part with them." A demigod snorted, and the hall vibrated, making Shanheyuan dizzy.

"If it is a dragon egg, their purpose is not just the True King Trial, they may very well want to keep Zhou Leng here."

"With Zhou Leng breeding, who knows how many high-bloodline dragon people will be born, which is a great hidden danger for us."

"Wisdom and the womb are always the most powerful weapons. It is said that the reason why the plane where the Patriarch of Despair and the Supreme Saint were defeated and swallowed by the Demon Prison was because the people of that world were short-sighted and abandoned this weapon. The population was sparse, and in the end, they did not even have the strength to fight, which led to their complete surrender."

"What do we do then? He actually wants the Wings of the Ice God."

"The Wings of the Ice God remain in the King's Tomb, and no one can take them away, so giving them to him wouldn't be a problem. However, the spirit of the Armor King might not agree. Nevertheless, he should have a chance with that Frost God Armor. It's truly rare that the Armor King was even willing to bestow extra favors for his wife."

"As for the Frost Armor, it might not be as good as a dragon."

The demigod giants hesitated.

Shanhe Yuandao said, "He meant that he could help us with the ancient call, but he didn't refuse the dragon god's gaze from the dragon side."

"Is he trying to have his cake and eat it too?"

"He said he had no choice. He received a revelation from the Dragon God. Besides, the dragons are quite at ease with these foreign races. They can't affect their status at all," Shanhe Yuandao said.

"Since he has been to Dengxing Mountain, let him walk the ancient and desolate road."

"Alas, we are useless and can't go very far. If he can really go far, it will be a help to our giant race."

"I think we should do it this way."

"However, we still need to find a way to sow discord between him and the dragon. We can't let this future peak demigod get too close to the dragon."

"We can only try to win him over more. We should raise his stipend by one level, since he is considered a candidate for the Ancient Road and is entitled to receive it."

"agree……"

Like the city, the large conference room in the basement of Lianxiang Kaituo Company.

Many masters gathered here.

The three masters sat in the main seats of the conference room.

Commander of the Army, Lady Xiyan, a mid-level Grandmaster.

She wore a shiny black leather jacket and pants, had a hot figure, and her little tail swayed gently behind her.

The Enforcer of Laws, a high-ranking master, the light of salvation.

Slightly overweight, with a full head of white curly hair, brownish-green eyes, a large nose, and some age spots on his face, he is a member of the Eagle Alliance.

The special envoy of the Crimson King, leader of the Dragon Kingdom's Demonic Cult.

A masked human, also a high-ranking master.

All that can be seen is that he is an elderly man; his identity cannot be confirmed.

The light of redemption swept over the group of grandmasters.

"This gathering is to discuss His Majesty's plan for the Heavenly Calamity Envoy."

"His Majesty plans to send us into the True King's Land to make contact with the 'alien powerhouses' and obtain the 'Star Destroyer Bottle' to hunt down the mother tree of the Tree People's World."

"That mother tree's strength in the Tree People World is already enough to contend with a newly promoted Void God." "With Your Majesty's current strength, you cannot resolve it. If Your Majesty's Heavenly Calamity God were to descend, it would naturally be able to resolve it, but unfortunately, without killing the mother tree, Your Majesty's Heavenly Calamity God avatar cannot descend."

"Currently, the only best option is the Star Destroyer Bottle..." The Light of Redemption smiled slightly, his full head of white curly hair trembling gently.

"I don't know what a Star Destroyer Bottle is, but I understand it's probably a celestial artifact that can kill a illusory god."

Lady Xiyan, who was standing to the side, said, "Let me add something. The Star Destroyer Bottle can not only kill Void Gods, but also absorb the power of Void Gods and convert it into special energy."

"Oh?" The Crimson King's envoy looked at Lady Xiyan and asked, "Beautiful Lady Xiyan, if the Star Destroyer Bottle kills the Mother Tree, can its power be absorbed by His Majesty the Crimson King?"

Lady Xiyan snorted coldly and said, "In front of the Heavenly Calamity Envoy and all the lords, everyone else is His Highness."

The Scarlet King's envoy, both helpless and displeased, said, "I was being presumptuous."

The Light of Redemption smiled and said, "The power refined from that Star Destroyer Bottle was for His Majesty's personal use."

“Oh? As far as I know, Your Majesty doesn’t seem to need the Star Destroyer Bottle. Killing the Mother Tree is enough to summon the God of Calamity,” said the Crimson King’s envoy.

Lady Xiyan said, "His Majesty once said that he wanted to give it away as a gift, but he doesn't know who it will be given to yet."

"Please inform His Majesty the Heavenly Calamity Envoy and ask if the power of this bottle could be bestowed upon His Highness the Crimson King."

The Light of Redemption smiled and said, "I will certainly convey this to His Majesty."

Lady Xiyan said, "Let's talk about the True King Trial this time. Although I am a succubus, my ancestors had the bloodline of a demonic dragon, so I can enter."

The Light of Redemption smiled and said, "I have the extraordinary body of the Demon Dragon Bloodline, so I can also enter."

The Crimson King's envoy said, "I possess the extraordinary body of a giant, and I entered from the giants' side."

"Okay, let each party share the information they have. For example, what should they pay attention to?"

"On the giants' side, we need to be wary of two powerful figures. One is Shanhe Tianyue, who originally had the strength to advance to Grandmaster, but has been suppressing his cultivation level for the True King Trial..."

"And then there's Huang Jinli. Not long ago, she activated the bloodline of the Golden Ancient Clan, which might be even stronger than Shanhe Tianyue, and no weaker than Shen An's Wrath."

"The Dark Wrath is our own demon, so there's no need to worry. He's too strong. He only advanced to Grandmaster in about a year. With a little guidance from the Heavenly Calamity Envoy, he'll directly become a High-Rank Grandmaster. He has the highest probability of becoming a True King of the Dragon Clan..."

"However, the dragons are not weak either."

"That infamous mad dragon, 'Hell's Eye,' actually suppressed its cultivation level for thirty years in preparation for this True King Trial."

"And the most noble Platinum Dragon Clan's 'Radiant King' also slept for fifty years for this True King Trial. Crimson Eyes is very strong, but in terms of bloodline and status, she is far inferior to Radiant King. She also did not want to offend the most powerful Platinum Dragon Clan, so she extorted a sum of money from Radiant King, gave up entering, and advanced to demigod ahead of schedule."

Many of the masters present looked solemn.

The Platinum Dragon Clan is the highest-ranking dragon clan below the Star Dragons. Other dragon clans must advance to demigod status and undergo trials before they can be crowned king.

However, in the Platinum Dragon Clan, as long as one advances to the Grandmaster level and one's father is a demigod, one can be directly crowned a king.

The Platinum Dragon Clan has always been the strongest race in the dragon world, and among the giants, only the Golden Giants can compare.

"Apart from that, there's nothing else worth noting. The Iron Dwarves' giant furnace and some demons are far inferior to them."

The Crimson King's envoy said, "We need to add one more."

"Who?"

"Li Shenkong".

"Should we bring a sword?"

"Of course I'll bring it."

"That's a bit troublesome. He must possess a giant's body, right?"

“Li Sheng had already paved the way for him. Everything about him was the best, except for his ferocious beast-like strength and extraordinary body.”

"He is already a Grandmaster, wielding the Starry Sky Divine Sword. Apart from the few mentioned earlier, no one can rival him. What is his weakness?"

"Only his swordsmanship is strong; in all other aspects, he is two to three levels weaker than his swordsmanship."

"Won't he try to seize the true throne?"

"No, his giant or dragon aura is not enough to compete for the True King. He is most likely after the Dragon God's Gaze or the Ancient Call."

"What about Chen Shouhu and Wang Boxiong? I don't know why they were promoted to Grandmaster so early, even though they had the opportunity to enter the True King Trial. I don't understand."

"Apart from that, there is no one else worth paying attention to."

Lady Xiyan casually remarked, "Zhou Leng defeated a high-level Grandmaster half a year ago, and now he has probably advanced to the middle level, making him qualified to compete with a high-level Grandmaster. He was a Primordial King before, and he will soon become a Grandmaster King."

Knowing that Madam Xiyan protected Zhou Leng like a son, the Light of Redemption remained silent.

The Crimson King's envoy said, "The Primordial King and the Grandmaster King are two different species. He is very strong, but he only killed newly promoted Grandmasters, and he was promoted on the spot. When he encounters us veteran high-level Grandmasters, he can't last more than a few moves."

Lady Xiyan naturally knew the other party's identity. She looked him up and down, smiled, and said, "Underestimating your enemy will come at a price."

"Perhaps." The Crimson King's envoy said nothing more.

After discussing it all day, everyone went back to rest that night and would continue their discussions the next day.

Stepping out of the conference room, Light of Redemption saw his disciple Shen Jun waiting at the door, so he invited him to chat.

Speaking of the True King Trial, the Light of Redemption suspects that Zhou Leng might also enter, given that his relationship with the giants and dragons is common knowledge.

“You’ve met Zhou Leng several times. Tell me about him; I’m very interested.” The Light of Redemption was born before the war 2000 years ago. Although he still retained some of the arrogance of the Eagle Alliance, after being defeated by the Dragon Kingdom, he diligently learned the Dragon Kingdom language and pronounced it fluently.

Shen Jun thought for a moment and then explained Zhou Leng's situation in detail.
