Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 286: Chapter 285: The Eternal First Monster

At the moment he heard these words, the frail man’s pupils suddenly constricted, and his body trembled violently.

He stared fixedly at Su Han, disbelief in his eyes.

“Do you know me?” the frail man asked.

He did not believe that Su Han could guess so accurately—no one with a brain would believe it.

He was from the Holy Domain. In his eyes, Su Han was nothing but an ant on an abandoned planet, and even with the power to manipulate wind and probe the mandate of heaven, it was impossible to guess so accurately.

“Know you?”

...

Su Han shook his head and smiled.

Was their relationship really as simple as just knowing each other?

“You know me!” the frail man declared again.

This time, his tone was extremely certain.

“Long Lie, son of the Long Family of the Holy Domain, top of the Holy Domain Freak Rankings and ninth on the Strongest of Heavenly List. Am I right?” Su Han said.

The frail man did not speak, only staring at Su Han, as if waiting for him to continue.

“From birth, he was monstrously talented, bypassing the Yellow and Mystical Rankings of the Holy Domain Talent List in just three years and advancing to the Earth List. Then, in another four years, advanced to the Heavenly List and the next year, ascended directly to the first place—all by the age of less than twenty.”

“At twenty-one, you advanced to the Yellow List of the Holy Domain Freak Rankings, at twenty-eight to the Mystical Rankings, at thirty-five to the Earth List, at forty reached the Heavenly List, and at fifty ascended to the first place of the Heavenly List of the Holy Domain Freak Rankings, hailed as the greatest freak of all time, akin to a Divine Spirit reincarnated.”

Su Han glanced at the frail man, then continued, “The Talent Ranking of the Holy Domain excludes those over five hundred years old, and the Freak Ranking excludes those over a thousand years old. Yet, you ascended to the Holy Domain Talent List at just under twenty, and only fifty when you reached the Holy Domain Freak Rankings.”

“Hiss!!!”

Upon hearing this, Lian Yuze and others all gasped in astonishment, looking incredulously at the frail man.

They did not know what those rankings in the Holy Domain meant, but from Su Han’s words, they could sense their power.

As the frail man trembled more and more with Su Han’s words,

“At fifty-two, you mastered one of the three great sword techniques of the Long Family—Withered Wood Swordsmanship.”

“At fifty-eight, you mastered another sword technique—Ancient Sword Technique.”

“At sixty-seven, you mastered the last sword technique—Soul Slaying Sword Technique.”

“At seventy-one, with an overwhelming stance, you consecutively challenged and won against the strong on the Yellow List of the Holy Domain Strong Rankings. Even the secretive Chaos Hall had to admire and praise you, thereby promoting your rank directly to the Mystical Rankings.”

“That same year, you continued to challenge the warriors of the Mystical Rankings and were first defeated by Xiong Tianci, ranked first. But just one year later, when you were seventy-two, you defeated Xiong Tianci and advanced to the Earth List of the Holy Domain Strong Rankings.”

“At that time, the Sun Sword God personally emerged from seclusion, wanting to take you as his disciple, but you refused.”

“In the following time, your fame spread throughout the Holy Domain, continuously advancing in the ranks of the Holy Domain Strong Rankings, eventually reaching the ninth of the Strong Rankings, known as the Great Demon Heavenly King!”

“But it was also around this time that you suddenly immersed yourself, rumors in the Holy Domain said that you had practiced cultivation until demonic possession, some said you were trapped by love, others said you had depleted your talents and dared not continue to challenge, fearing humiliation by the world.”

“At that time I did not know what it was, but now I do—you did it for her.”

As his words fell, Su Han pointed towards Xiang’er and lightly chuckled, “Am I right?”

“How could you possibly know so much?” the frail man truly could not believe.

He had never imagined that anyone could know him so thoroughly, that even he himself had forgotten which year he had advanced to the Holy Domain Talent List and at what age he had advanced to the Holy Domain Freak Rankings.

Su Han did not answer him, but continued, “You are not devoid of talent, nor have you succumbed to demonic possession; you simply lacked the heart to continue cultivating. Otherwise, with your talents, you would certainly not just be at your current cultivation base.”

“You know my current cultivation base?” Long Lie asked.

“High-Grade Main God,” Su Han said.

Long Lie shuddered.

He could clearly feel that Su Han’s cultivation base was far too low, far too low. Even though he was a Fifth Order Great Archmage, he was still vastly inferior to himself.

In general, from the Holy Domain to the Dragon Martial Continent, an abandoned planet, as long as the cultivation base surpasses two realms, it becomes very difficult to discern the exact level of someone’s cultivation base.

And Su Han’s case? More than two realms inferior to Long Lie?

But he was still able to clearly state what realm Long Lie was in, how could the latter not be shocked?

What shocked Long Lie even more was that Su Han seemed to have a very clear understanding of the cultivation divisions within the Holy Domain.

He was merely a martial artist from an abandoned planet, how could he know the words ‘Main God’?

“Admiration, pure admiration!”

Lian Yuze and the others’ faces were filled with admiration, a type quite different from the admiration they had for Su Han.

Su Han had given them new life, and in their hearts, he had always been like a divine spirit.

But their admiration for Long Lie was that of awe directed at a legendary figure standing before them, rendering them utterly nervous!

Listening to every word, every statement from Su Han deeply stirred their spirits, making them wish they could become Long Lie, become that once-in-an-eternity genius!

Such a figure, revered by thousands, even just standing there casually, was like Jin Yang, dazzling countless people.

But as for their worship, Long Lie took no notice. At this moment, he only wanted to figure out who Su Han really was, and how he knew all this.

At this moment, Long Lie no longer thought of Su Han as merely someone from Dragon Martial Continent, because even a peak Dragon Venerate from that continent couldn’t possibly know so much!

“Who exactly are you?” Long Lie asked, his tone grave.

Su Han smiled, “Before asking that, I think you should show a bit more respect, or perhaps, you should be a bit gentler, just like with her.”

Su Han then pointed at Xiang’er, his words tinged with a teasing flavor.

He knew Long Lie’s character very well.

Perhaps due to his natural gifts, Long Lie had always been like a wild beast from ancient times, unyielding and rebellious, someone who would slay in anger without hesitation.

But on the flip side, it could be said that Long Lie was a very straightforward person, not one for scheming.

Seeing that Su Han was still interestedly staring at him, Long Lie took a deep breath and tried his best to appear calmer and even forced a smile.

“That smile of yours, truly ugly,” laughed Su Han.

“You…”

Long Lie immediately became furious, but Su Han quickly waved his hand and laughed, “Alright, alright, no more teasing. You want to know who I am, I’ll tell you.”

“My name isn’t Liang Shaohui.”

“I’m asking about your real identity!”

Long Lie gritted his teeth, as he didn’t have the patience to idle away with Su Han.

“I’m talking about the real identity too.”

Su Han winked at Long Lie, seeing him about to get angry again, he couldn’t help but laugh again.

“My name is… Su Han.”
