that person’s arrival was out of nowhere. but when he took out his sword, everyone felt that their concept of time was severed by it. their heads were blank as they simply stared lifelessly at the sword.

the sword slashed down. ye qingkuang suddenly let out a mad roar, and his aura exploded. his heavenly dao energy formed a huge barrier around him, and he hastily retreated at the same time.

when that sword fell, all people saw was a cold flash of light, and yet it also seemed like nothing had happened. that misconception made it seem like that sword had both moved and not moved. it was impossible to remember what that sword had just done.

ye qingkuang appeared a thousand meters away. the middle of his face had been sliced open, and there was a straight bloody line going down his face. it wasn’t deep, but blood poured out from his wound.

everyone was deathly silent. ye qingkuang was an empyrean, but he had been injured. everyone, including ye qingkuang, stared in shock at the newcomer.

a light sound rang out as that person slowly sheathed his sword. the sound wasn’t loud, but it possessed a great impact to their ears. that attack had looked completely insignificant and natural, and yet it had injured an empyrean.

“you were actually able to use heavenly dao energy to resist my sword qi. as expected of an empyrean,” said that person lightly, a bit of shock in his eyes.

“who are you?!” ye qingkuang wiped his face. his heavenly dao energy circulated, and his injury vanished. his divine item, the steel coiling dragon staff, appeared in his other hand.

he felt a sensation of terror toward this sword-wielding man. just now, he had almost been slain. just thinking about it made him afraid.

“long chen’s subordinate, the dragonblood legion’s fourth captain, yue zifeng.”

this man was yue zifeng. when long chen had created the dragonblood legion, there had been three hundred and sixty members split into four groups led by four captains.

long chen had decided to have gu yang, li qi, song mingyuan, and yue zifeng be the captains. wilde was like a child and couldn’t command others, while that little fellow guo ran was too frivolous. he liked showing off too much.

“long chen’s subordinate, the dragonblood legion’s fourth captain, yue zifeng...”

these words resounded through the air, backed by yue zifeng’s spiritual yuan. each word was like a blade piercing everyone’s ears. with the impression left behind by his unstoppable sword, his voice seemed to pierce their souls.

“how terrifying. a captain is already so powerful? just how strong is the dragonblood legion?” everyone was intimidated by yue zifeng. his sword was too marvelous, too shocking, too terrifying.

“isn’t your dragon slaughtering convention’s goal to kill my boss and my dragonblood legion? why would you refuse us at the door?” asked yue zifeng coldly.

“hmph, fine. tomorrow, i’ll put you in your place, and i won’t give you a second chance to sneak attack me,” snorted ye qingkuang. strangely, despite overflowing with battle intent a moment ago, he now returned to the city.

“protecting itself?”

xia yunchong nodded. “if we consider the martial heaven continent to be a living entity, it will need to react when its life is threatened. of course, what i’m saying is only legend and folklore. no one knows whether or not it’s true. but personally, i feel like the chances of this being true are high. that’s because the five great eras always began before a dark era, when there was a danger to the martial heaven continent. each time there is a great era, heavenly geniuses rise. during this era, a peerless expert needs to lead them all against the danger. those peerless experts are all given a resounding and domineering title: sovereign.”

hearing this explanation, yue zifeng, bao buping, and chang hao were all enlightened. this was their first time hearing these ancient secrets.

“in all of history, there were five great eras and five sovereigns. now that heavenly geniuses are bursting into existence, it shows that the great era isn’t far off. think about it. just how rare were rank nine celestials a few years ago? empyreans only existed in legend. now, they’ve all appeared. we’ve managed to catch this great era,” said xia yunchong.

“hehe, our luck’s pretty good. then let’s see just who in our generation gets to be sovereign. i wonder whether i’ll have a chance?” wondered chang hao.

“yes, you definitely will. i trust my eyesight,” said bao buping confidently.

“really? how can you tell?” asked chang hao.

“just from your name i feel like you have the style of a sovereign,” said bao buping.

“my name?”

“think about it. your name is chang hao. a man who dares to hao, and chang hao at that. if you aren’t the sovereign, who else could it be?” bao buping wiggled his eyebrows with a wretched smile.

“fuck, you’re just messing around!” raged chang hao. he finally realized what bao buping was saying. he was splitting his hao into two parts.

xia yunchong was speechless as he understood, but yue zifeng and xia youluo didn’t react.

the five of them continued onward under the gaze of countless experts, and they quickly reached the central plaza. there was a huge execution stand there, with cloud bound to it. there was a cold ax-head over its head. it was a divine item.

“cloud!”

when yue zifeng saw cloud’s current state, his eyes turned icy-cold with killing intent. now that he saw cloud in person, he noticed that its state was even more miserable than what the photographic jade revealed. yue zifeng clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged. these people had gone too far. they were tormenting cloud.

“let’s save cloud now.” bao buping and chang hao both had explosive tempers. when they had first met on the battlefield, cloud had been like a divine stead, fighting alone against gui yan’s ghost general. just how majestic had it been? now it had fallen into its current state, and that immediately provoked their fury.

“since everyone here has come for the dragon slaughtering convention, then find a good seat for yourself. don’t make any stupid moves, or you might draw a killer to yourself...” just at this moment, a cold shout rang out from the distance.

the hao character 昊 is composed of an upper and lower part, 日 and 天. 日天 is kind of like fuck the heavens. very domineering. definitely the style of a sovereign.
