Chapter 012: The Ancient Dragon Emperor

There was no need for Du Fan and the others to intervene. The other Ancient Dragon clansmen had already flocked toward the domain experts brought by Fisher, like flies drawn to carrion.
The Ancient Dragon clansmen had remained in that graveyard for countless years, existing in a state of dead souls, with no opponents at all!
Now that they had encountered opponents they could fight against, these Ancient Dragon clansmen, who hadn’t fought in tens of thousands of years, were itching to engage!
Except for Dragon One and Dragon Eight, the other Ancient Dragon clansmen charged at the other domain experts brought by Fisher, with waves of golden light flashing continuously.
Soon, amidst screams of agony, the five domain experts didn’t even get a chance to unleash their techniques before being killed by these mid-tier divine-level Ancient Dragon clansmen.
Mid-tier gods against domain experts—especially those who could fully unleash their power—left no chance for the domain experts to fight back!
“Go! Leave now!” Seeing this, Fisher cried out in despair, overwhelmed with pain.
Upon meeting them, he had been severely injured, and all five domain experts he brought had perished! This was an unbearable blow for Fisher!
Including previous losses, nearly a dozen domain experts from the Church faction had already died at Fisher’s hands! Although Fisher knew the Church could still withstand such losses, this unprecedented scale of loss had never happened in thousands of years!
Even during the coup in the Gavin Empire, only two holy-level experts—the Crown Prince and the Gray Robe Sword Saint—had died!
Back then, a single domain expert like the Silver Sheath Sword Saint could completely dominate the situation, but now, domain experts kept dying—something utterly unimaginable just a few years ago!
Moreover, the appearance of these Ancient Dragon clansmen and twelve mid-tier gods was completely unthinkable in the past!
Faced with Du Fan, along with thirteen mid-tier gods and one lower-tier god, how could Fisher dare to stay?
As soon as Fisher ordered them to leave, Qian He Xun immediately retreated together. Fisher took out a milky-white magic scroll, crushed it in his hand, and a flash of light appeared—Fisher and Qian He Xun vanished instantly.
“Are these the top experts on the continent now?” Dragon One said gloomily, staring at the direction in which Fisher and the others had disappeared.

Under Long Yi’s influence, during the last war among the gods, only the heroes who died in battle existed—there were no warriors who fled! Even when outnumbered, they fought to the death, determined to take down as many enemies as possible, embracing death without fear!
That war among the gods wasn’t just about winning or losing; it was also a competition for fame—fame as heroes! Even knowing they were outmatched, they still charged forward with bravery!
“Not bad. Those three just now are basically the top fighters among our enemies,” Du Fan said immediately.
“Haha!” Hearing Du Fan’s words, Long Yi burst into laughter.
“If that’s the case, Du Fan, you can rest easy. In the upcoming battles, all those experts will be taken care of by us brothers!” Long Yi said with a laugh.
Hearing this, Du Fan just smiled and dismissed it.
Although the strongest fighter currently in the Church was Naga after merging with Qian He Xun, Du Fan knew very well that the legendary Pope hadn’t shown up yet!
There were also other powerful figures in the Church—like the warden of Divine Might Prison, the head of the Inquisition, and the commander of the Holy Light Knights! Perhaps there were even secret forces that Du Fan didn’t even know about!
After all, Du Fan’s highest position in the Church was merely one of the two wardens of the Gavin Diocese, and he hadn’t held that position for very long.
“Brother Long, we’ll definitely rely on you for these matters in the future, but I think what we need to do now is find the Sky City,” Du Fan said with a smile.
“Haha, I kinda forgot about it once the fighting started,” Long Yi replied, smiling sheepishly. It had been tens of thousands of years since he’d fought, and just using a little of his ancient dragon powers already gave him a sense of satisfaction.
“Let’s hurry up and find the Sky City!” Raymond shouted from the side.
“Mm, it’s good we’re here,” Long Yi said with a mysterious smile.
At that moment, Long Yi suddenly closed his eyes, his golden light shining brightly. Soon, he opened his eyes and pointed eastward.
“It’s in that direction. Fifty miles further ahead, the Sky City is right there,” Long Yi said firmly.
Hearing his certainty, Rob’s face showed a hint of confusion.

“Don’t worry. We, the Ancient Dragon Clan, have experienced the First War of the Gods. We’ve also been to the Sky City several times, so we’re well aware of its atmosphere!” Long Yi said with a smile. “That guy named Fisher—even if he hadn’t encountered us, finding the Sky City wouldn’t be easy at all!”
“Let’s go!” Du Fan said, taking off first toward the east.
A distance of fifty li was nothing but a matter of a few breaths for these powerful beings. Soon, at Long Yi’s signal, the group soared into the sky.
They quickly flew through the clouds and the strong winds before spotting something dark above.
“Du Fan, you’ve never flown this high before, have you?” Long Yi asked with a smile.
“No, never,” Du Fengna replied.
Reaching such a height already made Du Fan feel uncomfortable. The thin air made breathing difficult, and because the air was so thin, almost like a vacuum, Du Fan felt his blood vessels stretching outward intensely!
To adapt to this condition, Du Fan devoted 80% of his energy to overcoming it. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Du Fan—or anyone else on the roads—to reach such heights! Not only was it exhausting and caused severe discomfort, but this place, in the imaginations of ordinary people, was completely empty!
If not for being told about the Sky City, Du Fan would never have thought that such a place existed above the void!
After flying another hundred li or so, Long Yi suddenly stopped.
Seeing Long Yi stop, the group also stopped.
“Above us is the Nine Abyss Void. Without complete divine power, it’s impossible to go up. So, the three of you will be taken care of by us,” Long Yi said with a smile.
“Is that so?” Rob, skeptical, flew upward abruptly. When he reached a certain height, he suddenly seemed to hit an invisible wall and was knocked back down.
“Ah, why don’t you believe what I say?” Long Yi said maliciously.
“Alright, Leader Long, let’s hurry up and go up!” Du Fan said.
Before Du Fan could finish speaking, the ancient dragon warriors immediately unleashed their ancient dragon power, enveloping Du Fan, Rob, and Raymond. A golden light surrounded the group, propelling them upward again!

Soon, that dark spot in Du Fan’s eyes grew larger and larger! Eventually, a magnificent city appeared before him.
When the Sky City appeared before Du Fan, it instantly filled him with awe!
Inside the Sky City, there were towering and grand temples everywhere! Each of these temples was solemn, majestic, and mysterious!
Just looking at those temples made one feel a desire to worship from the bottom of their heart.
Once inside the Sky City, Du Fan suddenly felt relaxed all over! The sky above the Sky City was no different from that on the continent at all.
To build such a city in this abyssal void, and for it to remain unaffected by the spatial forces of this void, was truly a miracle! And it wasn’t a miracle that an ordinary god could perform!
“Dareful! How dare you intrude in the dwelling place of the gods? Do you want to die?” A loud voice spoke as they first entered the Sky City.
“Is there anyone else living here?” Hearing this voice, Long Yi exclaimed.
“Who are you all? Quickly state your names!” The voice grew even angrier. Clearly, Du Fan’s group showed no reaction to his threats, which annoyed the owner of the voice greatly, so he raised his tone even more.
“And who are you? If you have the courage, show yourself and fight me head-on!” Long Yi also shouted loudly.
“Hmph. Even if I reveal myself, I’m not afraid of scaring you to death. I am from the ancient dragon race, the noble Lord Moheer!” With that, a dragon with four wings flew out!
When Du Fan and the others heard that the voice claimed to belong to an ancient dragon, they were already shocked. When they saw a four-winged giant dragon they had never seen before, they were even more stunned and speechless!
At that moment, Long Yi suddenly soared into the air. His body twisted and transformed, and soon, an eight-winged giant dragon appeared before the four-winged dragon! This eight-winged dragon, created by Long Yi’s transformation, was clearly much larger than the four-winged one.
“You, you, who are you? Why have I never seen you before?” The four-winged ancient dragon named Moheer said nervously upon seeing Long Yi’s true form.

The eight-winged dragon was clearly two ranks higher than Moheer! Faced with such a being, how could Moheer dare say anything more!
“I am not one of the ancient dragon clans of the Sky City,” Long Yi said melancholically upon hearing Moheer’s question. It had been tens of thousands of years since he last saw any of his kind, and now that he suddenly encountered his fellow dragons, he momentarily forgot what to say next!
Just as Long Yi was thinking about what to say next, sharp and loud dragon roars suddenly came from above the Sky City. Along with these roars, a giant dragon with twelve wings and a completely shiny body appeared.
After this dragon appeared, a large number of ancient dragons showed up at the same time—each of them being ancient dragons with at least six wings!
There were thousands of such dragons covering the sky! Under the leadership of that twelve-winged dragon, they flew toward Du Fan!
“Your Majesty!” Seeing this dragon, the four-winged dragon from earlier immediately bowed its head and spoke with great respect.
