Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 969: Chapter 968 Su Han Enters the Mountain

From the First Path to the Ninth Path, the nine silver screens that once stood between heaven and earth, shielding the Ancient Divine Mountain like a peacock spreading its tail, all vanished the moment Su Han stepped forward!

Countless people stood dumbfounded, filled with intense confusion, unsure of what had just happened.

Even Su Han frowned slightly, a quiet ’huh’ escaping his heart, but he felt somehow that the disappearance of the screens was not a bad thing for him.

”Why is this?”

Nan Qing and the others frowned deeply; before coming here, they had perused many ancient texts. As one of the most powerful empires in the Archaic Eastern Region, the Fire God Empire naturally possessed more descriptions of the Ancient Divine Mountain than the Long Wind Empire, where Su Han resided.

These silver screens had appeared outside the Ancient Divine Mountain since its emergence and had never disappeared!

It was once said that as long as the Ancient Divine Mountain stood, the silver screens existed; when the Ancient Divine Mountain perished, the screens vanished.

The relationship between these silver screens and the Ancient Divine Mountain is akin to the connection between a soul and its body; as long as the Ancient Divine Mountain existed, the screens would never disappear!

Yet now, this scene unfolded before their eyes, making them inevitably shocked.

Although Nan Qing’s strength on the Dragon Martial Continent was low, here, he was nonetheless a Holy Spirit King, ranking among the top ten in the Eastern Domain.

Perhaps this strength had slightly tempered his state of mind; after a brief moment of shock, Nan Qing sneered: ”It’s merely a disguise technique, just playing tricks. Although we can’t see it, the screens must still exist here. How could you possibly enter the Ancient Divine Mountain using such a method?”

Su Han seemed not to hear his words, directly ignoring them.

At that moment, he was pondering deeply, slowly stepping forward.

”Whoosh!”

With that single step, a striking crimson light suddenly rose in front of Su Han, far more intense than what appeared when Nan Qing passed through the First Path silver screen—beyond calculation, the instant it rose, it transformed into an endless red glow, enveloping Su Han’s figure directly!

Standing within the red glow, Su Han’s white robes appeared exceptionally distinct; he seemed to have understood something, a smile playing on his lips as he turned to look at Nan Qing, his gaze calm, lacking the provocation or disdain Nan Qing had anticipated.

Yet this expression only intensified Nan Qing’s anger and jealousy!

He understood that Su Han did not genuinely disdain his words but directly ignored him, not even bothering to feel contempt or provoke him!

This feeling was akin to becoming a complete fool, previously prancing around Su Han for so long, arrogantly thinking he had surpassed Su Han greatly, hoping to garner a shred of respect from him as a strong figure; yet in that instant, all of it was shattered by Su Han’s quiet step!

Just a single step, just a patch of red glow, deeper than all the colors he had passed through up to the Sixth Path silver screen combined!

”What is exactly happening?!”

Nan Qing’s face turned dark green; on the Dragon Martial Continent, he was a direct disciple of the Palace Master of One Slash Palace, one of the highest talented individuals among the entire palace.

Here, he was a top ten powerhouse in the Eastern Domain and a Holy Spirit King of the Fire God Empire!

It seemed from his status, anywhere, Su Han was vastly inferior, yet how was it that Su Ba, wherever he appeared, radiated a brilliance far exceeding his own?

The nine silver screens of the Ancient Divine Mountain were initially prepared for those attempting the challenge, yet Su Ba with just one step made them all disappear, while he spent nearly eight full years, exhausting all efforts to reach merely the Sixth Path!

The more he thought, the more jealous Nan Qing became, the more hostile his gaze toward Su Han.

And while he pondered thus, Su Han stepped forward once more.

This step birthed an astonishing orange light outside the already intense crimson light, resembling the radiance of a sun, and Su Han was its core, surrounded by red glow; the sight was extremely striking!

”Hiss!!”

Numerous gasps resounded, as endless onlookers watched the scene, still unaware of what was truly happening.

Yet the appearance of the crimson and orange lights made them understand; the disappearance of the nine silver screens was not, as Nan Qing claimed, Su Han’s disguise technique, but...

But it seemed the Ancient Divine Mountain was making way for Su Han!

”Who is he?”

”He’s just King Qinghong of the Long Wind Empire... but how... how did he do it?”

”The Ancient Divine Mountain... is actually making way for him!!!”

Shocked chatter erupted, like a bomb thrown into calm water, slapping the faces of those originally waiting to see a spectacle!

”Whoosh!”

Meanwhile, Su Han stepped forward once more—this was the third step!

With the landing of the third step, overwhelming yellow light emerged from within the Ancient Divine Mountain, resembling a giant human face, positioned behind Su Han, awaiting his fourth step.

Without hesitation, Su Han directly stepped forth a fourth time.

”Boom!”

Astounding rumble resounded, the Ancient Divine Mountain trembled, and the ground beneath Nan Qing and others’ feet quaked.

”This...”

Xuanyuan Wuqing and Bai Ling wore expressions of disbelief, yet beneath their disbelief, excitement was intensely vivid.

”Truly deserving of being Eighth-Rate... truly Eighth-Rate...” Xuanyuan Wuqing praised while rolling his eyes; it was unclear if he felt jealousy or admiration.

Bai Ling pondered softly, ”I was just kidding about what I said before.”

”What words?”

Xuanyuan Wuqing asked reflexively, seeing Bai Ling’s cold expression, then immediately remembered something, promptly correcting his tone, ”Of course it’s a joke, you’re Xuanyuan Wuqing’s woman; even if that guy ascends to heaven, you’re still my woman!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling surprisingly did not refute angrily as before but instead smiled slightly.

”Whoosh!”

While they spoke, Su Han took the fifth step.

That enormous blue figure appeared again, but unlike its slight bow before Nan Qing, it appeared now single knee on the ground, head lowered deeply, slowly prostrating before Su Han, as though solemnly greeting a Divine Spirit.

”Impossible!”

This scene made Nan Qing’s eyes completely red, and those surrounding observers’ hearts leap madly, their eyes wide, mouths agape enough to fit eggs!
