Chapter 1956 (Raw 2054): No Regrets in This Life

At the crucial moment, the lingering soul of the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor, which had not appeared in a long time, suddenly appeared.

After the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor breathed out Dragon Qi, the explosive Veritable Essence Energy and Soul Energy in Xiao Chen’s body settled.

Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor was still the same as before, belittling him every time he appeared.

Xiao Chen had grown accustomed to this already. He smiled softly. “Senior, I have already arrived in the Divine Dragon Empire and joined the Heavenly Dragon Palace.”

The Heavenly Dragon Palace?

Mildly startled, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor took a long time to react. Then, he said in understanding, That’s true. To think that I was finding it strange. What’s so strange about that? The Azure Dragon bloodline went extinct long ago. How could there be an Azure Dragon Palace?

When the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor said these words, he sounded strangely sorrowful.

The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor was the strongest Dragon Emperor of the Azure Dragon bloodline. His first thought was that Xiao Chen should be joining the Azure Dragon Palace.

However, by the time he reacted, he had recalled that the Azure Dragon bloodline no longer existed.

At the time of the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor’s death, the Azure Dragon bloodline still existed. In fact, it was a glorious period for the Azure Dragons. He did not know what got the Azure Dragon bloodline destroyed.

The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor was not used to a Divine Dragon Empire without the Azure Dragon bloodline.

Xiao Chen had no time to check on his various gains after advancing to the Holy Light Stage. He had too many questions to ask the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor.

“Senior, when I was in the Soaring Dragon Great Realm, I discovered a dragon city. It turned out that the Black Dragon King was sealed below that dragon city. Now, the seal is damaged already, and the Faux God Flame sealing the Black Dragon King has reached its limits. It told me that the Black Dragon King would appear again within one hundred years... That senior seemed to be your subordinate.”

Xiao Chen spoke for a long time but discovered that the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor seemed indifferent to this, not paying as much attention to it as Xiao Chen expected him to. “Speaking of which, Senior Blood-Soaked, why are you not shocked or worried at all?”

Why should I be shocked? I am the one who laid the formation. Would I not be clear on how long it can last? What is the point of worrying? Can trash like you kill that black loach in my stead?

Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor’s words stifled Xiao Chen into silence. They sounded very logical, and there was no way to rebut them.

After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Chen could only say softly, “Oh.”

To think that you did not cultivate the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art that I gave you!

Suddenly, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor seemed to have noticed something. He snarled, You brat! What can I say about you? Instead of cultivating my Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art, you went and cultivated some nonsense Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art. Is the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art that I gave you that lousy?

Actually, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor was mostly angry at Xiao Chen for taking the path of dual cultivating the Demonic Dao and the Righteous Dao as he had.

The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor was not truly angry at Xiao Chen. He was not even sure why he was angry. In any case, there was some frustration in his heart.

This startled Xiao Chen, making him feel somewhat guilty. Given his mental state, few could evoke such a reaction in him.

Only the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor could.

Xiao Chen tried to explain that he did not abandon the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art. “I have been cultivating the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art. I have already finished cultivating the first three layers, successfully forming dragon veins, dragon bones, and dragon blood. I also succeeded in cultivating the fourth layer and can bring out the Divine Dragon War Body and the Azure Dragon Divine Wings. As for the fifth layer, I wanted to cultivate it after breaking through to the Holy Light Stage.”

Humph! What nonsense Divine Dragon War Body is that? When you finish cultivating all six layers, you will know that this Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art is just at its beginning. Only then will the Divine Dragon War Body be considered complete. Stop embarrassing me. I feel ashamed for you, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor said with disdain, snorting coldly at this thought.

Xiao Chen could tell that the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor was in a much better mood. He smiled and said, “I got it. I will focus on cultivating the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art next and not let Senior down. When Senior wakes up again, you will definitely see a complete Divine Dragon War Body.”

Next time? The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor’s voice suddenly turned extremely gloomy. There is no next time.

These sudden words stunned Xiao Chen. His heart sank as he demanded, “What do you mean? Don’t tell me that you are going to die? You are absolutely not allowed to die without my permission!”

Haha! I have already been dead for tens of thousands of years. What are you getting so agitated for? I am just a strand of a lingering soul now. I will have to go eventually. However, I am unable to stop worrying about you. You make me worry a lot every time. How are you going to revitalize the Azure Dragon bloodline in the future? The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor’s voice suddenly turned very warm and gentle. However, this made Xiao Chen feel extremely uncomfortable.

Xiao Chen wished that the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor would ruthlessly scold him like he had at the start.

Xiao Chen clenched his right fist tightly with a somewhat anxious expression.

It seemed that every time the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor woke up, he helped Xiao Chen with various matters, saving his life at least three times.

Is it because of that?

Did he end up wasting a significant portion of his lingering soul to save me? Xiao Chen started blaming himself.

Stop overthinking. I’ve already said it before. I died a long, long time ago. I only preserved the essence of my soul for the sake of the inheritance. Apparently having guessed what Xiao Chen was thinking, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor said something to console him.

Xiao Chen’s heart could not calm down for a long time.

Actually, Xiao Chen was already used to that lingering soul in his body. Although the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor rarely appeared, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor invisibly supported him.

It is quite unfortunate... Back then, that black loach caused chaos in the entire Great Thousand Realms, triggering a war between the righteous factions and demonic factions. The flames of war even reached the Heavenly Realm, killing True Gods. Because of that, the Heavenly Realm ripped apart and no longer exists. Even so, he ended up suffering defeat at my hands and getting sealed up. However, I lost to time in the end...

The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor said with a drawn-out sigh, The survivor is king. In less than a hundred years, that black loach is going to appear again. Brat, pull yourself together. While I still have my complete inheritance and memories preserved, receive them properly and help me defeat that black loach again!

Right after the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor said that, a resplendent red light appeared in Xiao Chen’s 9-Star Primal Core.

The scarlet dragon seal flew out and crumbled quickly, turning into beams of light that merged with Xiao Chen’s physical body and soul.

In that instant...an entire lifetime passed before Xiao Chen’s eyes, flashing rapidly like a movie.

There were various beautiful scenes, scenes of pride, scenes of domineering actions, scenes of holding power. From youth to maturity, growing step by step from birth until reaching the peak of the Great Thousand Realms. Achieving an immortal divine body and lighting the supreme divine flame.

Lofty aspirations and hot-bloodedness, wanting to unify the eight empires and establish the Divine Dragon Dynasty, to restore the Dragon Race’s Great Desolate Eon hegemony.

Unfortunately, the Black Dragon King appeared and stirred up chaos, igniting a great war between righteous and demonic factions.

The Heavenly Realm shattered, and many True Gods fell. The structure of the entire Great Thousand Realms changed because of this.

When everything was over in the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor’s old age, the final scene appeared before Xiao Chen’s eyes.

That was the scene from right before the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor’s death.

When the scene shattered, countless memories appeared in Xiao Chen’s sea of consciousness—the greatest treasure and inheritance that the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor left for him.

After a long time, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, feeling dazzled, as if he had just lived through ten thousand years.

“So, it is true. He had already died many years ago...”

Slightly depressed and sorrowful, Xiao Chen thought back to his various interactions and conversations with the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor.

He felt some regret at being born too late. It would have been great if he could have personally witnessed the glory of the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor when the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor was alive.

“Don’t worry. I will definitely revitalize the Azure Dragon bloodline and help you defeat that black loach!”

Determination flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. His body gave off strands of invisible light.

An image of the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor appeared behind Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen’s eyes and Spiritual Sense could not see him. As he looked at Xiao Chen, he revealed a smile. Pretty good. After being obsessed with this for so long, it is time I let go. However, now...how unfortunate, oh how unfortunate! I truly will not be able to see you complete the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art. Let’s just leave it at this. I have no more regrets in this life.

“Whoosh!”

The strands of light faded away. The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor’s figure completely vanished.
