Chapter 5236 Barging Into the Dragon Domain

Terrifying auras arose as one figure after another appeared, surrounding Long Chen and his companions. Most of these experts were Heaven Saints, and the sight of Gold Rhino pulling the golden war chariot shocked them.

Gold Rhino’s overwhelming aura was more than they could bear, so they dared not approach. Instead, they shouted warnings from a distance, quickly alerting their comrades.

Seeing those people shouting, Gold Rhino was about to stop when Long Chen said, “Ignore them and continue onward. If anyone dares to stop you, just smash through.”

“Long Chen, are you sure?” asked Bai Shishi, her tone cautious. Wouldn’t this provoke the entire dragon race?

“You don’t understand the dragon race. They’re prideful. There’s no such thing as diplomacy before violence. If you don’t show enough strength, they’ll never take you seriously,” Long Chen explained calmly.

Long Chen knew their ways well. To earn their respect, one had to display absolute power. Their belief was that only the strong were qualified to speak to the strong.

Gold Rhino continued its advance, and the war chariot rumbled, emitting a powerful aura.

It was Guo Ran who understood Long Chen best. He immediately activated all of the war chariot’s runes. Although the formations couldn’t unleash any attacks, they could still intimidate most experts.

Seeing that their warnings were being ignored, the dragon experts hastily retreated, clearly unsettled by Gold Rhino’s presence. Even though Gold Rhino wasn’t intentionally unleashing its full Emperor might, its mere existence made the Heaven Saints tremble. If they got too close, they would be unable to move under that pressure.

“Who are you?! Why are you barging into the Dragon Domain?!” another furious roar rang out. This time, it came from a half-step Human Emperor.

However, Long Chen didn’t even acknowledge the man, and Gold Rhino continued forward, its pressure forcing the half-step Human Emperor to retreat.

As they pressed on, more and more dragon race experts gathered. The sky filled with the intimidating forms of Ten Thousand Dragon Nests, poised as if ready to strike.

“Halt! Speak your intentions, or don’t blame us for showing no mercy!” another voice shouted.

This time, it was a Human Emperor. However, even he paled at the sight of Gold Rhino, puzzled as to why such a fearsome beast would serve as a mount for others. Just who was inside the chariot?

The number of dragon experts and Ten Thousand Dragon Nests continued to increase. Some nests even rumbled, seemingly preparing to attack.

However, Long Chen kept ignoring them, and Gold Rhino continued onward, nearly colliding with the nests before they retreated in caution.

In truth, the dragon experts were just probing Long Chen and the others, wanting to learn what Long Chen was planning. Before Long Chen showed any hostility, they wouldn’t rashly attack.

“Damn, the Dragon Domain is stacked! How do they have so many Ten Thousand Dragon Nests and experts?!” Guo Ran exclaimed. There were as many nests as there were stars in the sky. They could also see thousands of Human Emperors.

“I can see tens of thousands of Human Emperors and endless half-step Human Emperors. Their foundation is terrifying,” said Bai Xiaole, his Three Flower Pupils allowing him to spot even hidden Human Emperors.

“If you don’t stop and explain yourselves, we’ll have no choice but to act!” The dragon race had finally had enough. Three million Ten Thousand Dragon Nests lined up in front of their path in their attempt to stop Gold Rhino with brute force.

Even with Gold Rhino’s power as a two-vein Emperor, facing so many one-vein Human Emperors supported by their nests would be a challenge.

If a battle started, Gold Rhino might not be able to survive, and the dragon race’s losses would be incalculable. This was why the dragon experts had restrained themselves until now.

Gold Rhino finally came to a halt, surrounded by the dragon race's vigilant watch. For the first time, the tense atmosphere slightly eased.

For the war chariot to stop meant that there was still room to talk.

“You have barged into the Dragon Domain without a word and ignored our warnings! If you cannot provide a proper explanation, don’t think about leaving alive!” shouted a middle-aged man with blood-red scales and dragon horns on his head. He pointed his dragon-scale spear at Gold Rhino.

This man was an expert from the blood dragon race, and his Blood Qi was deep like a sea. Although he was a one-vein Human Emperor, he was the only one amongst all these Human Emperors who made Gold Rhino feel pressured.

This middle-aged man was the leader of these experts. He glared at the chariot, demanding an answer. However, Long Chen was in no rush to respond. His gaze scanned the surroundings until he spotted a white Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, where Bai Yingxuan and Bai Yingxue stood.

Seeing that the white dragon race was safe and sound, Long Chen breathed a sigh of relief. However, their position behind other dragon experts indicated that their status within the Dragon Domain wasn’t particularly high.

“Speak! Or don’t blame us for being uncourteous!” the blood dragon expert roared, his patience wearing thin as he pointed his spear at Gold Rhino.

Long Chen’s voice was calm but provocative. “When did the proud dragon race fall so low? Someone barges into your home, and all you do is shout from a distance? You've lost the dignity of the dragon race.”

His words instantly enraged the dragon experts, who clenched their weapons, ready to attack. But at that moment, a collective gasp of surprise came from a group of dragon experts. Bai Yingxuan, Bai Yingxue, and the other experts of the white dragon race cried out in shock.

“Long Chen!”
