"Yi Tianxing, your arrogance…You once dared to imprison me, Long Aotian, in the Heaven Prison for several years.But I, Long Aotian, am still Long Aotian!Now that I've been reborn into the Dragon Demon Clan,it's time for you to personally experience my counterattack.If you win this war—I'll give you a grand gift.But if you lose—it proves that I, Long Aotian, remain invincible!"
If Yi Tianxing had seen the look of arrogance in Long Aotian's eyes now, he would have found it all too familiar.
Because this Dragon Demon Clan powerhouse was indeed the same person he once personally suppressed in the Heaven Prison—Long Aotian.
The technique Long Aotian cultivated wasn't so much a technique as it was a natural-born divine power:
Formless Reincarnation (无相转生).
Upon awakening this power, his soul would split into thousands of fragments,each cast into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, reincarnating across the entire Eternal World.
Some might be reborn as stones, pigs, or dogs—others as beings of any race, in any timeline.Ten years later, a century, a millennium—it couldn't be predicted.
But this divine power could only be used once in a lifetime.
After using it, the technique reversed into:
Sole Sovereign (唯我独尊).
Its ability: merge with his reincarnated selves.
Each successful fusion would give him the other's talent, divine powers, and accumulated strength.
It was a contest of survival:
Among thousands of versions of Long Aotian, only one would ultimately reign supreme.
After the final fusion,he could manifest as any race, wield any bloodline or trait, and become a universal being—a true Sole Sovereign.
Even if one Long Aotian died, thousands more remained.
Killing him would require destroying all versions across time and space. An almost impossible task.
Now, the Long Aotian of the Dragon Demon Clan had been found and merged by the original self.
He was both Human and Dragon Demon, combining the strength of two lifetimes.
His power had become terrifying even to himself.
This war wasn't just for conquest—it was personal.
A final reckoning.
He had transcended race and identity.
But with that came karmic consequences.
The other foreign race leaders didn't hesitate either.
Each immediately began mobilizing their elite armies to be deployed to Dragon Demon Continent.
Letting Great Yi expand freely?
Unacceptable.
Win or lose—they needed this war.
Only after a real battle could they rest their pride.
Soon, Long Aotian's war declaration was sent directly toward the Great Yi Dynasty.
In the Imperial Palace of Great Yi...
"War declaration—Hundred Race Alliance. From Long Aotian of the Dragon Demon Clan."
Yi Tianxing's expression shifted subtly as he read the name: Long Aotian.
He couldn't possibly forget.
This was the same man he had once imprisoned—a man blessed with incredible destiny, greater even than a Heaven's Chosen.
The name Long Aotian itself defied all logic.
"Interesting... Are you two different people, or just one?"
"How did you become a Dragon Demon prodigy—was it a split soul, possession, or rebirth?"
Yi Tianxing's thoughts spun rapidly.
Though strange, he had a strong intuition that this was the same Long Aotian.
How exactly it happened, he didn't know.
But one thing was clear:
The Long Aotian in Heaven Prison was gone.
The prison judged based on karmic sin, and once a prisoner's karmic debt was cleared, the prison would automatically release them—no one could interfere.
Long Aotian hadn't committed many grave sins,so after a few years, he had been let go.
What happened afterward was unknown.
"What do you all think of this war declaration?"Yi Tianxing asked,handing the scroll to his ministers.
"You should all know the situation of Dragon Demon Continent—it's several times larger than Yi Province,with many races inhabiting it,ruled primarily by the Dragon Demon Clan."
"This is clearly the foreign races preparing for an all-out war to settle things once and for all with Great Yi."
"Your Majesty is right," said Bao Zheng,his expression sharp."The foreign races aren't fools.Each race has prodigies—and they know they can't defeat Great Yi alone."
"Their alliance isn't surprising.But this helps us: If we conquer Dragon Demon Continent,all other resistance will crumble.We'll settle everything in one battle."
"Exactly," said Xun Yu."Even if the Hundred Races are powerful,their alliance will be riddled with mistrust and lack of coordination."
"We must strike quickly,before they build any semblance of unity."
Had the foreign races chosen to hide and scatter,hunting them down would've been much harder.
But now, they were offering a decisive battle.
A golden opportunity.
"Very well.Notify all Great Yi Legions:
After securing Immortal Cities across the Vast Sea Realm, proceed immediately to Dragon Demon Continent."
Yi Tianxing nodded.
This battle was inevitable—and just as he preferred it.
He turned toward the direction of Dragon Demon Continentand spoke a single word:
"War (战)!!"
As his voice fell,a massive golden character '战' (War)condensed from the void,brimming with boundless battle intent.
It streaked across the sky toward Dragon Demon Continent like a divine command.
On Dragon Demon Continent...
Upon a vast sacred mountain,shrouded in black demonic clouds,stood the legendary:
Coiling Dragon Mountain (Panlong Mountain).
This was the most sacred place of the Dragon Demon Clan.
Its demonic spiritual veins and dense heavenly energy made it a top-tier cultivation ground.
A vast complex of palaces sprawled across the mountain,with magic springs everywhere,where countless Dragon Demon cultivators cultivated.
At the mountain's peak was a massive demon palace,and inside was a demonic blood pool.
There, Long Aotian sat naked, submerged in blood,his scales gleaming with metallic luster,absorbing dragon blood into every inch of his being.
Suddenly, Long Aotian looked to the sky.
He saw a golden war character descend—filled with boundless murderous intent.
"War!!"
The word echoed like thunder,like an army of thousands marching forth.
"As expected... He responded."
"That's Yi the Emperor for you."
"But this Dragon Demon Continent is no easy conquest.You'll be in for a surprise."
Long Aotian's face showed fierce confidence.
He had prepared something special for Great Yi.
The continent had already been fully mobilized:
teleportation lights flashed endlesslyas foreign race armies poured in.
These were battle-hardened veterans who had survived decades on the Divine-Demon Battlefield.
They no longer feared death—only yearned for slaughter.
Many came armed with their races' deepest secrets and forbidden treasures.
The Ogre Clan, for example, brought their artifact:
The Blood Meat Millstone,a grinding wheel made of blood and flesh,capable of annihilating anything caught within.
Suddenly, a seven-colored rainbow light streaked across the sky.
A massive Immortal City descended upon the edge of Dragon Demon Continent,settling by the sea on a vast, open plain.
"Dragon Demon Continent, huh?"
"Hundred Race Alliance? Let's see if my axe is still sharp!"
On the walls stood Cheng Yaojin, grinning wickedly, axe slung over his shoulder.
"I was the first to arrive! Vanguard spot's mine—don't even try to steal it!"
