# Chapter 1654: Quasi-Emperor Dragon
In the broken city, there weren't many people, but their racial talents were extremely strong. After Ye Fan and the others learned enough, they left this place.
Not long after, a silver-armored war god descended from the sky, his entire body radiating moonlight-like brilliance, blazing and intense. He came directly before the city, shaking the entire area.
"Who destroyed the bounty board?"
He could actually sense it, so powerful that many people's hearts trembled, feeling that a storm was coming.
"It was the Human Sacred Body, Ye Fan." A Fire Thunder Bird spoke, telling the truth after being stared down.
"What? Him? He's here too? Perfect, I'll kill him and that monkey together!" The silver-armored war god shot into the sky and vanished in an instant.
Unfortunately, Ye Fan and the others had already left this region, heading toward the deepest part of the battlefield. This place was too vast; even the sun, moon, and stars were as insignificant as dust here.
"Boom!"
A tremendous sound came from the void. This battlefield was actually trembling slightly, and a strange aura was spreading, adding a sense of oppression and suffocation to this world.
"What's happening? What is this?" On the Black Pearl, everyone was traveling through the bloody mist, sensing this abnormality in the dim world.
Then, the earth began to shake continuously. In the distance, patches of stars dimmed, and the oppressive, suffocating aura grew even stronger!
"Someone is undergoing tribulation—a Quasi-Emperor Tribulation!"
Black Emperor's expression was extremely serious and solemn. Even from such a distance, there were thunderous sounds, and stars were shattered by the Dao principles. This was definitely a rare Heavenly Punishment in ancient times.
According to their speculation, someone at the deepest part of the battlefield had stepped into the Quasi-Emperor realm!
One could say that this distance was absolutely astronomical, yet they could still sense it, with fluctuations reaching them, showing the terror of the lightning tribulation.
At this moment, not only was Ye Fan's warship tearing through space and flying at extreme speed toward the front, but others were doing the same. The Quasi-Emperor Tribulation was too crucial. Groups of people from all directions were madly rushing toward it.
People had different purposes. Some wanted to witness such a grand event with their own eyes—after all, Quasi-Emperor Tribulations were rare in ancient times, definitely one of the greatest events in heaven and earth, and they wanted to observe and broaden their knowledge. Others had unclear intentions. With Imperial Prince-level battles currently underway, this was definitely a great enemy about to rise, and some harbored killing intent.
The battlefield was vast, the stars tiny—this was a pattern beyond common sense. Tens of millions of li without seeing a single person, yet now people were involuntarily gathering toward one direction.
"We've arrived. We'll soon see who is about to become a Quasi-Emperor."
In Ye Fan and the others' speculation, it couldn't be anyone other than Huang Xudao, Huo Qizi, Divine Silkworm Daoist, and other Imperial Princes. They were very strong, and after accumulating for so many years in this world transformed by heaven and earth's changes, they should have erupted long ago.
Breaking through now was much easier than a few hundred years ago.
"Perhaps it's the person we least want to see become a Quasi-Emperor—someone from the Forbidden Zone of Life," Pang Bo said. This was certainly very possible, perhaps even the Thunder God they had clashed with before.
From far away, people could see infinite lightning light, with strands of Dao principle chains entangled, densely covering and completely sealing that area!
The battlefield was barren, with not a blade of grass growing. Below, massive mountains were shaking, and some were even flattened. Keep in mind, these were the weathered soil and stone formed from the flesh and blood of ancient Supreme Beings.
Even though they no longer contained Great Emperor principles, their essence blood was completely gone, and they had turned to dust, no longer counting as Imperial bodies, they were still terrifying material. Under normal circumstances, mountains here were hard to topple during battles.
However, in this kind of lightning tribulation, amidst the terrifying electric light, common sense was broken. Some mountains were uprooted and shattered below.
But compared to the sky, this was nothing, because patches of stars there dimmed and directly exploded. The lightning in the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation was brilliant and terrifying.
The sound of mountains collapsing and seas roaring shook even Great Sages' hearts. The lightning there was different, tinged with blood and killing intent.
"What is that? Who is it?"
Everyone's eyes widened wide. Hiding in different areas, they gazed into the void from afar, their mouths dry, almost unable to speak.
It was a terrifying scene, incredibly shocking. A purple great dragon hung in the void, entangled by countless chains, imprisoned there, being struck by lightning.
It was tens of thousands of li long, covered in blood, its purple scales flickering, but their luster was gradually dimming. Bound by numerous iron chains, it was fixed in place.
Dragon aura pressed down on people, but it wasn't as heavy as the lightning aura. The lightning struck it, causing it to shake violently, trying to break free from its bonds, but it was very difficult.
"What's going on?!" Many people found it unbelievable. How could there be a true dragon bound here, suffering the impact of lightning tribulation?
People had come to witness the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation but saw this scene instead. They were all shocked. Was this not a Quasi-Emperor Tribulation, but rather a dragon transformation?
Or perhaps heaven had sent an omen, a dragon entering the world, being struck by Heavenly Punishment and suffering here?
"It's this dragon undergoing tribulation!"
Finally, someone revealed the truth, but this Heavenly Punishment was a bit strange, different from what was usually seen. In fact, this was a Quasi-Emperor Tribulation.
Those iron chains, seemingly physical objects, were actually not. They were all order divine chains, enormous iron chains woven by the tribulation born from the void.
"Quasi-Emperor Tribulation—evolving one's own Dao, interweaving body-binding divine chains. As long as he breaks through the obstruction and snaps the divine chains, he will succeed!"
Ye Fan and the others arrived. The warship stopped in the void, using Heaven-Deceiving Array to hide a hundred thousand li away, not getting too close.
In fact, everyone was hiding far enough, afraid of being affected by the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation.
This place was flashing with lightning, already scattering the red miasma. The sky was clear, so there was no worry about not being able to see the tribulation.
"It feels a bit familiar!" Ye Fan immediately frowned, vaguely sensing a bad feeling.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a terrifying sword light flashed, a hundred thousand li long, piercing heaven and earth, striking toward the great dragon in the void, trying to kill it.
Someone had made a move, taking advantage of its tribulation to kill it!
The battlefield was vast, and all kinds of people came. Not everyone was upright and wanted a fair duel.
"Boom!"
At the same time, a mountain peak flew up, dazzling and brilliant, smashing toward that purple great dragon. Clearly, it was a treasure seal, now enlarged, transforming into a mountain.
This was fatal. Two experts attacked, taking the opportunity. This moment was very critical and could not be disturbed.
If they hit, or interrupted the purple great dragon's transformation process, they might cause it to fall from its realm, or even die on the spot. This was the most dangerous.
Suddenly, heaven and earth trembled. Bell sounds rang out loudly. Then, another purple great dragon broke through the void from afar, instantly shattering the sword light and the mountain peak.
Moreover, a mighty pressure descended, surging forth, as if an ancient emperor had revived!
"It really is them—this clan!" Ye Fan showed a grave expression.
This was an enemy, the people of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. In the past, they had opposed them. Finally, with the help of the Human Demon old man, they had nearly leveled this clan.
The purple great dragon that appeared later did not enter the thunder sea. It was the Divine Mark Purple Gold Ten Thousand Dragon Bell, an ancient emperor weapon!
In this era where Imperial artifacts were almost all shattered, the appearance of such a weapon severely broke the balance and would threaten many people's safety.
"Could it be the Dragon Maiden of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest undergoing tribulation? The aura doesn't match."
Others were also shocked. They never expected that an ancient emperor weapon was suppressing this place, guarding the person undergoing tribulation. Who would dare to act recklessly now? That would be suicide!
In the present age, only a few Imperial Dao artifacts had survived. Many were destroyed in that terrible chaos. This was the highest deterrent now.
"Ao roar..."
Suddenly, a dragon cry shook the nine heavens. The purple dragon in the lightning tribulation broke free from its bonds, snapping all the order divine chains. It was covered in blood, almost crippled, nearly turned into meat paste, but it succeeded.
"From now on, there is one more Quasi-Emperor in heaven and earth!"
Boom!
An overwhelming aura erupted. The purple great dragon's body flashed with intense light. It had passed this hurdle. The Heavenly Tribulation ended, and it began to repair its injured body.
Moreover, at this moment, it transformed into human form. This was not the Dragon Maiden, but an old man with purple hair draped over his shoulders and a somewhat hunched figure.
His age was truly great. Even as a Quasi-Emperor, his skin was still loose, his face full of wrinkles. Except for his purple hair, which had some luster, he could be described as old and decrepit.
"An old dragon... Does the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest still have such a peerless fierce person?"
Everyone was stunned, hardly believing this.
"It's him. I never thought he was still in this world and had become a Quasi-Emperor. It's unavoidable. We are destined to fight him!" Ye Fan sighed.
This was the father of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest's Qianlun Great Sage!
In the past, Qianlun Great Sage and his terrifyingly old father had acted together, using an Imperial Dao artifact to suppress the Human Demon, Dongfang Taiyi.
After the long years passed, only Qianlun Great Sage appeared in later generations. His old father had been in a half-dead state and was thought to be about to sit in meditation.
Who could have expected that today he would become a Quasi-Emperor!
This old fellow had personally sealed the Human Demon back then. To obtain the Taiyin and Taiyang Ancient Scriptures for reference in comprehending the Dao, he temporarily spared the Human Demon's life.
Various signs indicated that this old dragon was terrifyingly powerful. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to revive and undergo tribulation in his old age, becoming a Quasi-Emperor.
"My son, your father has revived. I will avenge you!" The first thing he did after succeeding was to mention revenge.
In the past, the Human Demon went to settle accounts with their clan. Borrowing Ye Fan's Green Copper Cauldron, he breached the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, killed Qianlun Great Sage, and forced their entire clan to flee the Big Dipper.
At that time, the old dragon was in a living-dead state and hadn't revived. He was taken away by the Dragon Maiden. Now, he had truly returned with force.
"According to legend, excluding the years sealed in Divine Source, this old dragon's real age should be eight thousand years old, right?!"
An eight-thousand-year-old Great Sage should have died long ago. Yet this old dragon defied heaven and became a Quasi-Emperor. Breaking through at this age was almost unprecedented in ancient times!
A purple figure flew over. The Dragon Maiden appeared, with the shrunk Ten Thousand Dragon Bell hanging above her head. Her bearing was unparalleled in the world, looking down on all heroes.
"Step onto the starry sky, kill all the barbarian clans. I'll wait for that Human Demon to appear!" The old dragon roared, his killing intent impacting a hundred thousand li.
Everyone was shaken. Just after becoming a Quasi-Emperor, this old dragon was so irritable, with such heavy killing intent. Truly rare in ancient times.
"Kill him!" Black Emperor said coldly.
"That's right, kill him here!" Pang Bo also said. This was a huge disaster that must be eliminated.
As for the Wild Man, his eyes flashed with cold light, showing an extremely grave expression. This involved the safety of their clan. This old dragon was very dangerous and must be eliminated.
Ye Fan hadn't expected that the first hard battle upon arriving at this battlefield would be against the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, and against an unexpected opponent.
"You want to exterminate the barbarian clan?" At this moment, an old man walked over from the distant sky, bare-chested, wearing animal hide clothes, carrying a white bone great club, approaching step by step.
The old dragon's eyes immediately stood up. His body trembled with excitement. "It's you, Human Demon! You're also on this battlefield? Even better. Let's settle the grudges. I'll send you on your way!" (To be continued)
