Chapter 5510 Time to Perform

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Everyone’s hearts sank. If someone as powerful as Chi Wufeng couldn’t withstand even a single attack from his opponent, did anyone else stand a chance?

Mo Yang and the other monstrous geniuses felt immense pressure. Some of them believed they were slightly stronger than Chi Wufeng, but only ever so slightly. If Chi Wufeng couldn’t even last a single blow, how many could they withstand?

And what was the point of being able to withstand more attacks? Only by defeating their opponent could they open the path. Everything else was futile.

Worst of all, even if they did increase their realm, it would be useless. If their realm increased, so would the realm of their opponent.

What made it worse was that increasing their cultivation realms wouldn’t help. Their opponents would mirror their breakthroughs. If they condensed heaven vein dragon qi, their opponents would do the same. If they advanced to Dragon Emperors, so would their opponents. This escalating challenge felt insurmountable, driving many to despair.

While the dragon race experts looked anxious, the Dragonblood warriors felt their blood heating up.

That Dragon Emperor might have only released a single attack, but his movements, angle, timing, and everything else were impeccable. This one attack was refined to the pinnacle.

Most couldn’t grasp the intricacies of his technique, but the Dragonblood warriors could. Their blood surged with excitement at the sight. In all their lives, they had never encountered such a terrifying existence, so they were itching to fight.

“Brothers of the Dragon Domain, you’ve just emerged from an immense battle, and there are still many hidden wounds inside you. While you might look recovered on the surface, your souls are not in a good state, which dulls your senses. You should wait for a while before you challenge the rest of the trials. To challenge them in your current state would not only risk further injury but also disrespect these seniors. Most importantly, you will be wasting precious time,” Long Chen declared, pointing to the barrier that had returned to its previous appearance.

When a challenge failed, the barrier required three days to reset before another attempt could be made. However, at the moment, the dragon race experts were staring at the thousands of barriers in despair.

It wasn’t just the younger generation—even the senior experts felt powerless. The previous Dragon Emperor standing on the martial stage seemed like an insurmountable peak, blocking all paths forward.

“Why the long faces?” Long Chen smiled, his voice steady and encouraging. “Isn’t this a good thing? Back then, you were all peerless heavenly geniuses, unmatched in your time. That’s why you were sealed. Now, you finally have worthy opponents. This is an opportunity to exchange blows with true experts—a rare chance to learn and grow. Win or lose, the experience alone will be invaluable. Isn’t this far better than sealing yourselves away, claiming no one can challenge you?”

These words did make their eyes brighten slightly. Mo Yang and the others exchanged looks before bursting into laughter.

“You’re right, we can only learn and progress by exchanging blows with such experts. We should be happy.”

“That’s right, even if we cannot beat these seniors, we’ll profit immensely. Why be greedy?”

“Well said. The Dragon Domain wasn’t built in a day, and neither are true experts.”

“Hahaha! Big brother Long Chen always sees the bigger picture. We’ve got plenty of time—what’s the rush?”

Long Chen’s words undid the knot in their hearts, dispersing the tense atmosphere. Instead of bashing their heads into a brick wall and despairing, they felt hopeful once again. Thinking of how they could challenge such powerful experts, they grew excited.

“Boss, we want to give it a shot too!” exclaimed Gu Yang.

Previously, Long Chen had forbidden the Dragonblood warriors to help the dragon race experts charge over the bridge. But now, they couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Go ahead,” Long Chen said with a nod. “There are plenty of barriers, enough for everyone to train for a long time. Once all the trials are cleared, we’ll reach the core of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. Only then can we truly control this divine weapon of Sovereign Dragon Valley. This is also a chance to exchange pointers and learn from each other.”

The Dragonblood warriors erupted in cheers. Without hesitation, each one approached a barrier and offered a drop of essence blood.

To the shock of the Dragon Domain’s experts, every Dragonblood warrior received the barriers’ approval. Not a single one was rejected.

Over seven thousand martial stages lit up at once, each occupied by a Dragonblood warrior.

“Isn’t this too wasteful? We should go one at a time so we can observe every battle!” complained one of the Dragon Domain’s experts.

With so many martial stages activating simultaneously, they found themselves overwhelmed. Even with their eyes darting back and forth, they could only follow two battles at most. They would definitely miss what was happening on the other martial stages.

However, complaining was useless. One stage after another activated, and a myriad of powerful figures appeared on them: men and women, young and old, but they were all Dragon Emperors.

As they suppressed their cultivation to match the Dragonblood warriors, the battles began. The warriors roared with excitement, unleashing ferocious attacks with their Dragonblood Blades.

Unlike Chi Wufeng’s method, which balanced offense and defense, the Dragonblood warriors focused solely on offense. They poured everything into sharp, decisive killing blows, aiming to end the fight in just a few moves.

For the Dragonblood warriors, this was a rare opportunity to fight such powerful opponents in solo combat. Far from being intimidated, they were exhilarated, overflowing with the desire to fight.

As true experts who had gone through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, each of their movements was honed through brutal, real combat. Every technique they used was paid for with their own blood, perfected on the battlefield.

Their razor-sharp killing blows, terrifying reaction speeds, and elusive movement arts were all marvelous, leaving the Dragon Domain’s experts in awe.

Until now, they had only seen the Dragonblood warriors in formation, and their combined might was powerful enough to challenge even the Nether Emperor. However, they were unmatched even on their own.

BOOM!

A fierce explosion rang out, and one Dragonblood warrior was sent flying out of the barrier, landing heavily on the ground. While blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his sharp gaze never wavered. Everyone could see a bloody hole marring his shoulder—he had lost.

Yet, the Dragon Domain’s experts were stunned. To exchange over twenty blows with such a fearsome Dragon Emperor was nothing short of astonishing.

The Dragonblood warriors came flying out one after another. In just a few breaths, the majority were defeated.

At this moment, the rankings of the Dragonblood Legion showed themselves. Ordinary warriors were the first to be knocked out, followed by the squad leaders.

The strongest among them managed to exchange hundreds of blows, drawing gasps of disbelief from the spectators. Their resilience and skill left the Dragon Domain’s experts marveling at their power.

Half an incense stick’s time later, fewer than twenty Dragonblood warriors remained standing. Despite their ferocity, they too fell one after another. In the end, not a single one triumphed.

“Incredible!” shouted one of the Dragonblood warriors.

Despite being covered in blood, they looked excited. After all, only by fighting powerful experts could they get stronger. For them, defeat wasn’t a loss—it was an opportunity to grow. Facing such powerful opponents only made them hunger for greater challenges.

Their undaunted spirits stirred something in the hearts of the Dragon Domain’s experts. For the first time, they felt as though they understood the essence of true experts. The infectious energy of the Dragonblood warriors ignited their own fighting spirits, heating their blood.

“Brothers, rest for a while. It’s time for me, Guo Ran, to show off!” exclaimed Guo Ran, arrogantly stepping forward.
