Rise of the Demon God

Chapter 1476 1476

A spatial portal opened before her. She brought a small stone out of the Spatial Portal.

”Recognize it?” The Immortal Queen asked. “As a Dragon who once lived in the upper realms, you should know about this. This is the Soul Absorbing Fragment from the Heavenly Palace. Not only does it absorb your soul, but it’ll also refine your soul.”

”You’ll lose all your memories! You’ll be nothing. That soul will be a blank soul for me to use as I please! But for that, I need to kill you first. Don’t take it personally!” The Immortal Queen raised her hand towards the Sword in the distance. 

The Red Sword shot towards her, flying out of the ground. As soon as the sword left the ground, the pressure was released. The Dragon Emperor was free, but by now, it was too late. It was as if he had lost his strength. 

He didn’t even have enough strength to raise his head. However, even if he could do anything, it would’ve been too late. The sword was already in the hands of the Immoral Queen.  

”Die! Die so I can live!” The Immortal Queen exclaimed as she stabbed the sword in the neck of the Dragon Emperor. 

Roar~

The Dragon Emperor’s roar could be heard far and wide as the sword stabbed him, penetrating his thick skill. 

Within seconds, his eyes closed as his screams stopped. 

The transparent crystal was filled with a small speck of light that came out of the Dragon Emperor’s body. 

”The Soul of a Dragon. First step complete.” Taking the stone, the Immortal Queen stood up. She flew back to Long Chen, leaving the sword stabbed in the head of the Dragon Emperor. 

The sword started turning blurry and ultimately disappeared.

Long Chen was expecting to see a battle of strength where both sides used their strongest skills so he could judge how weak he was, but what he saw was confusing. It gave him nothing. The battle was over before it started; there was nothing he could do. 

He didn’t know if it was that the Dragon Emperor was weak or what, but this battle was disappointing. 

”You seem disappointed,” the Immortal Queen said, landing before him. 

”This battle was underwhelming,” Long Chen answered honestly. 

”That’s because I didn’t want to drag it. Think of it as lesson one. Don’t drag the battle and finish it fast because the start is when the enemies go the easiest as they try to judge you. If you can take advantage of that moment, you can save yourself a lot of headaches,” the Immortal Queen explained. 

”What was that sword?” Long Chen asked. “It looked like something you made with your Qi, but it was so strong that even I’m surprised. Did you make it with some kind of skill? It seems like a good skill to learn.”

”That’s not a sword I made with any skill,” The Immortal Queen smiled. 

”Then? It was a treasure? But I saw it being made right before my eyes. Can a treasure disperse?” Long Chen asked, frowning. 

”That’s not a treasure either,” The Immortal Queen explained. 

”Then what was it? Tell me straight instead of making me guess.”

”Did I ask you to guess?” The Immortal Queen chuckled. “Anyway, it’s called a Soul Weapon. You can’t make it since you’re a human. But I’ll give you something else instead. Don’t worry. As I said, I’ll make you so strong that even Long Chen won’t stand a chance before you.”

”For now, let’s leave.  We need to go to another place!” 

”Are we not taking the body back? It’s the body of a Dragon?”

”We don’t need to bring the body back. It’s none of our use. We already have what we needed,” the Immortal Queen said, glancing at the beautiful piece of stone in her hand. 

”What will we use with the Spirit?” Long Chen asked. 

”Not we, you!” The Immortal Queen answered. “You’ll be using the Soul. You’ll be absorbing it. You can’t make a Soul Weapon of your own, but with this Dragon Soul, I might be able to help you make a Soul Weapon clone which won’t be any less than the real thing.”

”That’s why you’ll be absorbing this soul. Come now.”

The Immortal Queen held the hands of Long Chen before disappearing from the Dragon Temple. Not a single person in the Immortal World could’ve known that the Dragon Emperor was killed just now, and so brutally at that.

The body of the Dragon Emperor, which was no less than any treasure which could be used to make many artifacts, was lying inside the Dragon Temple, and no one knew about it even. 

Leaving the Temple, the Immortal Queen went straight to the Southern Empire. 

She appeared before a small pond of water which was filled with pitch-black water. The smell around the water was so disgusting that even Long Chen was forced to close his nose. 

”What are you doing here?” He asked. 

”This is the place where we’ll be going. Don’t ask questions and jump inside the water.” The Immortal Queen answered. 

”What? From what angle does this look like water? It’s so dirty, and it smells so bad!” Long Chen rolled his eyes. “I’m not jumping inside.”

”So you don’t want to be stronger? That was the extent of your resolve? I guess I overestimated you. No wonder the other Long Chen is in the upper world while you’re stuck here. It seems I wasted my time.”

”Why would jumping inside this thing make me stronger?”

”It leads to a place where you’ll be training. Don’t judge it based on how it looks or smells. That’s just a mirage to make sure that no one enters the pond. It’s different on the inside,” the Immortal Queen explained. “But if you don’t want to come, I won’t force you. You can leave. You don’t have to follow me.”

After finishing, the Immortal Queen jumped inside the water. 

Long Chen watched the lady enter the water. 

”Fuck!” He cursed at the thought of jumping in this, but he knew he needed to do that. He jumped inside the water as well.

As soon as he jumped inside the dirty pond, he was surprised. The pond was crystal clear on the inside. She was right! The exterior was just a mirage! However, this one pond seemed to be deeper than the sea itself. 

He started following the Immortal Queen as they all swam deeper.
