"Little fellow, I… have seen you before."
Li Long's voice sounded sowhat weak and weary, with a hint of confusion, "Haven't I already fallen? Why…"
Upon hearing Li Long's familiar voice again, even though Xu Fan was accustod to turmoil, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
It wasn't easy!
From the Taoists to The West, from the Dark Council to the Church of Light, immortals, Immortal Monarchs, all were overco by Xu Fan one by one, even Chu Le'er noticed Xu Fan's arduous journey, and the imnse pressure Xu Fan had endured these days was understandable.
And now, although far from complete success, they had achieved a pivotal victory.
Li Long, had awakened!
Looking at Li Long's pair of bewildered dragon eyes, Xu Fan suppressed his excitent inside, "Senior, you have not fallen; it's just that your vitality was severely depleted, causing you to fall into a state of extre weakness and coma…"
A powerhouse like Li Long could infer the sequence of events with a hint of information. Yet, at this mont, Li Long's massive eyes were full of shock.
"Little fellow, have you… successfully cultivated the Dragon Divine Art? This, this…"
The Dragon Divine Art is the secret technique of the Dragon Clan, created entirely based on the dragon's physique, extrely domineering. Without sufficient physical strength, one would surely be torn apart by the overbearing Dragon Divine Art, let alone cultivate it!
When Li Long passed the Dragon Divine Art to Xu Fan, it was partly because he sensed his impending doom and didn't want to break the Dragon Clan's heritage. Additionally, he saw that Xu Fan's physical strength appeared quite impressive, and rather liked him, almost by fate passing the Dragon Divine Art to Xu Fan.
Even Li Long hadn't expected that Xu Fan would truly be able to successfully cultivate the Dragon Divine Art, and within a short ti, elevate it to a considerable level!
Li Long was well aware of his situation; without cultivating the Dragon Divine Art to a certain level, it would have been impossible to awaken himself from the brink of death!
Looking at the small black dragon before him, Li Long's gaze carried a rare softness, "Little fellow, you've suffered greatly…"
Li Long was fully aware of the difficulty in cultivating the Dragon Divine Art and further knew that with his battle against the four Immortal Emperors, both sides had long reached a state of irreconcilable enmity. Xu Fan standing on his side ant standing against the four Immortal Emperors.
Xu Fan, being smart, could easily perceive these matters.
Moreover, even more comndable was that Xu Fan obtained the Dragon Divine Art and instead of leaving, he chose to appear here, turning the impossible into possible.
All the hardships Xu Fan had endured, for what purpose?
The answer… Li Long understood well; Xu Fan was driven by a promise, a promise never highly regarded by Li Long.
A century isn't enough; try a decade! If a decade fails, strive for three years! The boy's resolute voice seed to echo in his ears.
Thus, at this mont, Li Long felt deeply touched, not even dreaming that he would be rescued by a human boy whom he never held much hope.
"Hehe, no need for politeness, Senior." Xu Fan felt a bit embarrassed being looked at with gentle eyes by Li Long.
This was an Immortal Emperor level super entity! Ordinary cultivators, how could they be qualified to witness such an existence's true form? Throughout the world, being seen favorably by such powerful beings with re Mysterious Light Realm strength, likely only applies to himself?
While Xu Fan was secretly pleased, fantasizing, Li Long suddenly sighed, looking at Xu Fan with unfeigned regret.
"Senior… is sothing troubling you?"
Xu Fan scratched his head, puzzled. Waking up after such hardship, why did Li Long seem so troubled?
"Little fellow, if my guess is correct, there's at most three years left until the thousand-year opportunity, right?"
Xu Fan nodded, "Senior, precisely three years remaining."
Upon Xu Fan's confirmation, Li Long nodded, regret in his eyes growing stronger.
Li Long recalled clearly, back when he was on the brink of death, losing consciousness, only a little over three years remained until the thousand-year opportunity. With such a little ti, even if awakened, within this cage-like Ice Palace… what could possibly be done?
Li Long wasn't worried about his own safety, having died once, he had beco open to many things. But Xu Fan… so young, with a brilliantly bright future ahead…
The thousand-year opportunity, Li Long undoubtedly knew its significance, three years later, the four Immortal Emperors would descend, countless Immortal Venerables and Immortal Monarchs, practically gathering all the top-tier combat forces from the upper realm!
Looking at the young man with sincerity before him, who endured countless hardships to awaken him, Li Long montarily found himself at a loss for words.
If possible, Li Long might even wish Xu Fan hadn't saved him.
Yet Li Long knew, in this world, there was never a 'what if,' otherwise, how could he have ended up in such a plight?
Xu Fan blinked, naturally perceiving Li Long's thoughts, feeling sowhat speechless internally.
Just four Immortal Emperors! He himself as a small Mysterious Light Realm junior felt no fear, and yet Li Long, such a superpower, feared prematurely…
This won't do!
In Xu Fan's strategy, Li Long was an invaluable force against the four Immortal Emperors, unable to falter before the battle even began!
After a brief pause, Xu Fan smiled and spoke, "Senior, are you worried about…"
However, before Xu Fan could finish, Li Long interrupted, "Little fellow, if you don't mind… let tell you a story."
As one of the strongest beings under the stars a millennium ago, Li Long naturally possessed pride within, even having fallen to such a state, nor did he wish to accept consolation from a junior.
Li Long spoke, Xu Fan could only obediently nod in agreent.
"The vast starry sky, countless planes coexist. So beings, when first born, wield minimal power yet exceptional talent, such as humans. Others naturally possess overwhelming strength and stand as rulers of their universe, occupying a realm. Despite small-scale conflicts, overall, they coexist peacefully."
"As ti passed, countless powerful figures erged from their planes, stepping into the most expansive and resource-rich realm and continuing their journey. Through continual conquest, four erged as leaders — Taoist Master, Qing Master, Buddha Lord, and Demon Lord — each firmly controlling a region and dominating the vast realm, known as the upper realm!"
"At this point, the cosmic layout was initially established. The Eastern Star Domain, nad Dragon Domain, was occupied by various inherently powerful beings. They would not say isolated, but disliked engaging with the outer world. The North is the upper realm, the South is the Land of Chaos, while the West holds an endless cosmic domain."
Speaking to this point, Li Long's eyes reflected profound sorrow and confusion, "The rapid rise of the four Immortal Emperors shocked the Eastern Star Domain's beings, yet they harbored little thought. One side disliked interacting outside, and another held confidence in their own formidable strength."
"And under such circumstances, a nightmare began!"
