Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

Faced with this teasing, the middle-aged man said seriously, "If that's really the case, then I should thank you."

"Is that so?" Su Liang remained silent.

The middle-aged man continued, "This demonic dragon is connected to me. The way to defeat it is actually very simple: shatter the dragon's core. Otherwise, even if you kill the dragon, it won't be long before it revives."

Su Liang nodded; he could guess what was going on.

The middle-aged man said, "This dragon embodies the faith of all the people of our country. This demonic dragon was once the guardian dragon of our nation."

But now, the nation has long since perished, and its people have become creatures of the abyss; even the dragon that once protected the nation has been corrupted.

But it ultimately symbolizes proof of our nation, so, foreigner, will you heed the plea of ​​this fallen king?

The middle-aged man stared intently at Su Liang.

With a sigh, Su Liang nodded, already understanding everything.

The middle-aged man forced a smile, a very ugly one. "Outsider, please slay this dragon! Let me and my people sink into an eternal dream!"

Chapter 969 I Will Never Let Go Again

Within the Blood Sea Secret Realm.

A rising sun dispelled the hazy, dark atmosphere that had shrouded the area for years.

The middle-aged man below looked up at the rising sun and smiled contentedly, "It's been so many years. It's so heartwarming to see the sun again today."

Knowing its death was imminent, the demonic dragon in the blood-soaked pool roared, shaking the heavens. Its body, thousands of meters long, rose up and charged towards Su Liang like a dragon chasing the sun.

Looking at the enraged dragon beneath him, Su Liang saw the end of an era. Scenes of past prosperity seemed to flow before his eyes: soldiers sleeping together, doors left unlocked at night, lost items left unattended, and peace between ruler and subject—these ancient memories transformed into images that flowed through his mind before finally disappearing into the end of time.

“What a wonderful era. Then let me fulfill your wishes and set you free,” Su Liang said softly.

At this moment, a blazing sun fell, its radiance spreading across countless flames of rebirth, and rays of light danced and shone brightly, illuminating the entire Blood Sea Secret Realm with boundless brilliance.

Under the scorching sun and blazing fire, the dragon's body crumbled inch by inch, utterly powerless to resist.

Su Liang landed on the giant head of the demonic dragon. Looking at the dragon ball in front of him, which emitted a dark light and seemed to emit the screams and cries of billions of living beings as he approached, Su Liang turned around and saw a middle-aged man bowing gracefully to him from afar, a smile on his thin face.

Su Liang's fist was like a golden dragon sweeping the sun, roaring like thunder, and with one punch he shattered the dragon pearl that contained the thoughts of a nation.

The dragon's violent struggle paused, and the abyssal chaos in its large, copper-bell-sized eyes receded, revealing a sense of liberation. The black aura swirling around its body dissipated, and a dazzling golden light transformed into golden dust that flowed into Su Liang's body.

The middle-aged man appeared before the ruins of the throne at some unknown time. With a wave of his hand, the throne returned to its original state. He sat upon it, and with a final, weary glance back at his country, he bowed his head and murmured to himself:

"Thank you, outsider... And now I can finally go down and keep you company..."

Bathed in the golden glow of the blazing sun, this emperor, who had lived through countless eras, transformed into wind and rain and fell into eternal slumber. In his dream, under the watchful eyes of his people and the respectful gaze of his ministers, he once again sat on the throne, ascended the throne, and ushered in a golden age for all people.

Su Liang clenched his fist. He felt comfortable inside and out. At the last moment, the demonic dragon revealed its true form and gave him its last bit of energy. Although he didn't know what the use of this energy was, and it didn't improve Su Liang's strength, Su Liang had a vague intuition that what he had gained this time was no less than the One Thought Heavenly Power he had stolen on the Star River Emperor Road.

Composing himself, Su Liang looked at the deathly silence around him and the approaching black hole in the distance, and gave a bitter smile. "It seems I really have to think of a way this time."

He, possessing the body of a god-emperor, was not afraid of the void.

But what troubled him was that even he couldn't do anything big in the void. He could only drift with the current and, if he was lucky, be sent out. All he could do was shorten the time, but according to preliminary estimates, it would take at least several years.

As he pondered, the abyssal black hole, symbolizing nothingness and devouring everything, appeared before him. Calling it a black hole was not entirely accurate; it was merely a circular mass of nothingness absorbing everything in front of him.

Su Liang cautiously withdrew his spiritual energy and checked his pill reserves. He was prepared to drift in the void for several years using his divine emperor body.

"Hopefully, nothing too unexpected will happen next time I come out."

After Su Liang finished speaking in a low voice, he closed his eyes and regulated his divine emperor body to prepare for the immediate adaptation after entering the void space.

Su Liang waited for a long time, but the discomfort he had imagined did not come. In his consciousness, the surroundings seemed to fall into silence.

Su Liang opened his eyes in confusion. A pair of lotus-root-like jade arms quietly wrapped around his waist, and a soft, jade-like body leaned against his back. A gentle, melodious chirping sound lingered in his ears.

"Fool, how could I possibly leave you?"

Su Liang looked surprised and asked in confusion, "Qingmo?"

He had too many questions in his mind. Why did Li Qingmo come here?

Why is time and space in this little secret realm frozen? There are too many questions, and he doesn't know where to begin.

Li Qingmo leaned her face against Su Liang's back and said softly, "No need to ask any more questions, just feel it for yourself."

Immediately, Su Liang was speechless as he felt a mysterious, ethereal aura enter his body. This mysterious aura was unlike spiritual energy, and it perfectly suited his divine emperor body.

As it flowed, it even healed the wounds on the body and the spiritual energy within.

Finally, the Qi Ocean floated up to the top of the Spiritual Qi Ocean and lazily remained still.

After carefully sensing it, Su Liang was surprised. This mysterious energy not only perfectly suited the body of the God Emperor in terms of its status, but also crushed the spiritual energy by nearly a hundred times in terms of its quality.

Su Liang asked from behind, "Qingmo, what is this?"

“Immortal energy, the energy of a true immortal, use it to leave this place,” Li Qingmo replied softly.

Su Liang was filled with doubt, but he didn't press the matter further. He smiled confidently and said:

"Yes, with this true immortal energy, I am indeed confident that I can leave this place."

As he channeled the immortal energy within his body, the expected obstacles did not materialize. The immortal energy was perfectly controlled by his divine emperor body, flowing out in wisps, making Su Liang appear somewhat otherworldly.

Behind Li Qingmo, a clear, cold voice exclaimed in surprise:

"Hmm? Interesting. His physique is very special; he can even use immortal energy freely without us."

Li Qingmo replied proudly, "Of course."

Qing Leng Xianyin was speechless at Li Qingmo's arrogant expression, as if nothing Su Liang did was surprising.

As the immortal energy flowed into his internal organs, Su Liang felt his divine sense become much stronger. He not only keenly perceived the chaotic void space in the black hole in front of him, but he could even faintly see spatial cracks near the throne.

Su Liang had a feeling that as long as he activated his immortal power and entered it, he could achieve the same spatial teleportation effect as the Reincarnation Emperor.

To Su Liang's surprise, the Samsara Seal in his arms also began to act strangely. The entire seal was trembling, as if it had been activated by immortal energy. If it weren't for Su Liang, it would probably have jumped out on its own by now.

Su Liang took out the Reincarnation Seal with a puzzled look, but as soon as he took it out, the Reincarnation Seal escaped from his hand and floated around him.

Chapter 970 The True Inheritance

In Su Liang and Li Qingmo's eyes, the Reincarnation Seal split in two, transforming into a 'gate'.

An ancient aura emanated from its gate, a majestic aura that seemed to sweep across the entire small secret realm, causing the frozen spacetime to tremble.

Su Liang's eyes were solemn; he could sense the aura of the Great Emperor within them!

Li Qingmo also watched this scene nervously, observing the appearance of the Reincarnation Seal for a while, and said uncertainly, "Reincarnation Seal?"

In Li Qingmo's mind, the clear, cold, ethereal voice sounded surprised.

"Is this the aura of an Emperor? Could there be an ancient Emperor behind this door? Are there still Emperors who haven't perished?"

As an artifact of the ancient emperor of reincarnation, the rich aura of reincarnation on the Reincarnation Seal can still be recognized at a glance.

Su Liang nodded. "I don't know about the strange thing about Samsara now. It seems that the Samsara Seal is having a strange reaction with the immortal energy."

No sooner had Su Liang finished speaking than the Reincarnation Seal transmitted a message. After receiving it, Su Liang's expression turned strange.

"It seems we stumbled upon the true land of inheritance by accident."

"Is the last inheritance that everyone outside is fighting over a fake?" Li Qingmo's beautiful embroidered eyebrows curved upwards.

Su Liang said with a wry smile:

"It should be true, or rather, it can't be considered false. The Ancient Emperor of Reincarnation probably couldn't hide his knowledge of his inheritance for long."

Fearing that the inheritance would fall into the wrong hands, they arranged several successors outside, some real and some fake. The ancient geniuses who passed the final test in the past probably discovered this secret.

After all the painstaking effort, all they ultimately obtained was a dense mass of spiritual energy, enough to directly ascend to the level of a giant, and a trace of reincarnation energy.

Li Qingmo quickly understood Su Liang's words.

"Even if they discovered something was wrong and had already accepted spiritual energy to advance to the Giant Realm, they still lost their qualification to enter the Inheritance Land. So why don't they make this public and search for the true Inheritance Land?"

Su Liang shook his head.

"You're naively simplistic about human nature. Even if they learn the secrets of the forbidden zone of reincarnation, they won't be kind enough to share the information. They'll only encourage others to enter. If everyone suffers losses, those who arrive first will feel more at ease. Even if the truth is preserved, they'll only tell their closest relatives and clansmen."

"Then the reason why the ancient royal family intervened this time is probably because they have some inside information." Li Qingmo was very smart. Although she was initially misled, she quickly made the connection after Su Liang's explanation.

Su Liang sneered, "Not only that, if I'm not mistaken, Wang Tian of the Wang family probably also knows the secrets of this forbidden area. Perhaps they deceived everyone from the beginning, and they may have already joined forces in secret."

Based solely on the information provided by the Reincarnation Seal, Su Liang had already thoroughly grasped the truth behind this forbidden land journey.

Li Qingmo was shocked. If what Su Liang said was true, then this forbidden land inheritance was probably just a game between these ancient royal families and the royal family.

Su Liang: "Don't worry, even if they know a little about the inside story, what they find is just another false inheritance."

At this point, Su Liang's expression became extremely strange. He didn't know what to say about the Reincarnation Emperor. Was this a case of a cunning rabbit with three burrows, or was it the 'cunning' of an old senior?

"Let's go." Su Liang looked at the door opened by the Reincarnation Seal, his expression calm and indifferent.

"Mm." Li Qingmo nodded, gripping Su Liang's collar tightly, looking at Su Liang stubbornly, her eyes, though full of autumn water, were filled with unwavering determination.

Su Liang looked at Li Qingmo's expression behind him with a headache. He realized that after this major change, Li Qingmo's attitude towards him had undergone a complete transformation.

Protecting Li Qingmo

Before that, Su Liang and his companion stepped into the Samsara Seal, their figures disappearing into it.

The two halves of the Reincarnation Seal healed, tearing through space and returning to Su Liang's hands.

Putting the Reincarnation Seal back into his pocket, Su Liang looked around.

A familiar scene: in a dark starry sky, countless brilliant stars dot the sky, twinkling and illuminating it.

"Is this... the Star River Imperial Road?" Li Qingmo asked hesitantly.

Su Liang nodded, "It should be, but it's different from the Star River Imperial Road. We must have arrived at another place."

The Reincarnation Seal also floated into the air and flew towards the southeast, with Su Liang and the other person following closely behind.

They stopped shortly afterward, as Su Liang and his companion halted their movements. Before them lay an island of unknown size, floating in the air. On this vast island, enormous, barren mountains stretched out in a continuous expanse, piled together, bearing such a magnificent view as the island silently floated in the starry sky.

As Su Liang tried to approach, a tangible, overwhelming pressure surged over him, engulfing the barren mountain.

Mysterious runes were drawn in the starry sky, and strange phenomena such as dazzling divine lightning and raging flames appeared on them.

Su Liang didn't want to take the hit head-on without thinking. After taking out the Reincarnation Seal, the oppressive aura surrounding him disappeared, and the mysterious runes drawn out of thin air also vanished.

Su Liang sighed, "This should be the true place of inheritance. What amazing methods! Hiding one's true inheritance in a subspace. If we hadn't stumbled upon this place, even those with the highest cultivation level might not have been able to break in. Although I don't think he could have discovered it."

The scale of Reincarnation's scheme is truly astonishing; the oppressive aura emanating from Su Liangguan is an unparalleled forbidden technique.
