Chapter 458 - 458 368 The Dragons Reverse Scale Fifth

Chapter 458: Chapter 368: The Dragon’s Reverse Scale, Fifth Tribulation Divine Weapon (5k)_2 Chapter 458: Chapter 368: The Dragon’s Reverse Scale, Fifth Tribulation Divine Weapon (5k)_2 Dark clouds loomed overhead, as though heralding the apocalypse.

Perceiving the oppressive force of the Tribulation Thunder, Emperor Slaughter Saber let out a Dragon Roar and bellowed angrily at the lightning before soaring straight up to clash with it mightily.

Objects of great evil had always known no fear,

and Tribulation Thunder was no exception.

…

…

After the nine Tribulation Thunders dissipated, the brilliance of the Emperor Slaughter Saber shone ever brighter. Chen Yuan took a step forward, and the Dragon Soul flew out, circling him several times, displaying even greater affection than before.

It was as if its spirituality had grown stronger.

With the Emperor Slaughter Saber in hand, Chen Yuan nodded slightly, well-pleased!

This trip to Hidden Soldier Valley had not been in vain.

A Fifth Tribulation Divine Weapon!

The help it provided was indescribable; should word of this get out, it would surely turn many powerful beings green with envy.

To a Martial Artist, a Divine Weapon was akin to a battle power amplifier.

And the stronger one was, the more true this held.

“I congratulate my father on his Divine Weapon’s successful Crossing Tribulation. Your path to supremacy is now assured!”

Ouyang Zhi promptly bowed deeply, exclaiming loudly.

Yue Shan and the others gave Ouyang Zhi a look, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in their eyes. Such cheerleading was usually their role, but considering that Ouyang Zhi was indeed the non-biological son of their own lord, they restrained themselves.

“Congratulations, my lord, on your Divine Weapon’s Crossing Tribulation!”

The group then chorused in unison.

Han Yu’s brow quirked as he cast a profound glance at Ouyang Zhi, feeling that the world was changing too fast. In the few days since he had last seen him, Chen Yuan seemed to have forged this new relationship with Ouyang Zhi.

Indeed… It was a bit unexpected.

However, this had nothing to do with him. After a relieved sigh, he respectfully said:

“This subordinate congratulates Your Majesty on his Divine Weapon’s Crossing Tribulation, paving the way for your domination!”

In that moment, Han Yu’s loyalty was fully secured.

Having witnessed Jiang He’s Sword Slash of a Grandmaster not long ago, he had wanted to join Chen Yuan. Yet, he couldn’t help but retain a sliver of pride, thinking it was better to establish their lord-vassal relationship after reaching Tangshan Prefecture.

But he did not expect that in just a few days, Ouyang Zhi would already seem intent on vying for his position, even acknowledging Chen Yuan as his father, spurring a sense of urgency within him.

He was determined to become the foremost expert under Chen Yuan.

Only by doing so could he gain access to more resources and support, only then could he avenge those deep-seated vendettas.

The current moment hastened his submission.

Chen Yuan’s gaze slowly swept over the few in attendance. While there were only a handful, these individuals were generally Reach Profound Martial Artists, which stirred a sense of pride in his chest.

His ambition, too, began to swell….

By his count, the Reach Profound Martial Artists directly under his command were nearing five in total, a unique position within the Reach Profound forces.

Should a Dan Realm Master preside over them, they would swiftly rise to be amongst the first-rate powers.

And certainly not just a run-of-the-mill first-rate power.

“Gentlemen, please rise.”

As Emperor Slaughter Saber was sheathed, Chen Yuan waved a hand, and an invisible force of Gang Qi lifted everyone to their feet.

Afterward, everything became very simple.

During the day, Chen Yuan cultivated; at night, he enjoyed indescribable pleasures with Lady Xu, leading a life full of zest.

After the full refinement of the Emperor Slaughter Saber, Hidden Soldier Valley opened its Mountain Gate. While there was some speculation from the outside world, the internal ranks were tight-lipped, revealing nothing.

Outsiders would only assume that the newly appointed Ouyang Zhi was purging the remnants of Ouyang Tuo’s forces, never guessing it had anything to do with a Divine Weapon.

Time flew swiftly, and nearly ten days passed in a blink.

On this day,

Chen Yuan awoke leisurely at noon, exhaling a deep breath. He had fought fiercely the night before, and after initially adapting, Lady Xu was now no less intense than Chen Yuan himself.

The collision between two Reach Profound experts was absolutely astonishing.

Looking at his reflection in the copper mirror, Chen Yuan’s brows furrowed slightly. These past few days had been his most indulgent since arriving in this world, and he hadn’t paused for a moment.

Consequences naturally followed.

Possibly due to not cleansing himself, there was a hint of dark circles under Chen Yuan’s eyes, combined with the stubble that sprouted daily.

There was an air of decadence about him.

“To think that wine and pleasure have caused me such haggardness…” Chen Yuan took a deep breath and murmured to himself,

“As of today, I give up drinking!”

With another wave of his hand, the stubble vanished, and he looked refreshed once more.

Although he claimed to renounce drinking, Chen Yuan did not continue to indulge. He had resisted Shen Yanshu’s company because he did not want to fall into a trap of comfort.

Since ancient times, women have been seen as both the land of warmth and the tomb of heroes. He had no wish to let himself be ruined by such indulgence.

A few days of abandon was quite unusual for Chen Yuan, but to truly relax his fighting spirit was out of the question.

…He was ready to return to Tangshan!

After more than a month away, it was about time to report back to Jiang He.

Besides, he was, after all, the Green Envoy of Tangshan Prefecture. Lingering in Shuzhou was starting to seem somewhat abnormal.

He also needed to express his gratitude to Jiang He, who had left him a Communication Talisman after intervening on his behalf; that favor was one he would definitely acknowledge.

His principle was simple:

For kindness shown, a wellspring of gratitude; for enmity faced, immediate retribution.

Unless the opponent was overwhelmingly powerful, he might practice some restraint.

“The Green Envoy is leaving?”

In the council hall, Lady Xu was taken aback.

“Indeed, Hidden Soldier Valley is pleasant, but Chen cannot stay here indefinitely,” Chen Yuan stated calmly from the head of the table.

Although the Valley Master was Ouyang Zhi, Chen Yuan was the one who sat at the head. Initially, Chen Yuan had not wanted to take that seat, but Ouyang Zhi had continuously deferred to him.
