Fang Yu proceeded with his sword in hand.

He lunged towards the pack of monsters.

Gangfeng protected his body.

The Dragon Roar Sword resonated loudly.

Hiss.

Hiss, hiss!

One by one, the monsters' heads flew through the air.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of monsters were beheaded.

Fang Yu slaughtered the creatures without restraint.

With each act of killing, a voice in his mind would remind him: Kill, kill, kill...

And so it went.

Fang Yu had no idea how much time had passed, nor how many monsters he had killed.

His hair had grown longer.

So had his beard.

What surprised him was...

He did not feel himself aging.

In the flick of a finger.

Thirty years had passed.

...

The wind swept across this jungle and the wilderness.

The view remained dark and blurred.

The variety of monsters increased, becoming stronger, more powerful, and more dangerous.

On the other hand, Fang Yu.

Within this seemingly boundless secret realm.

Fang Yu's Great Harmony Qi became purer, his power stronger, and his skills more adept.

Hiss—

As a head fell.

Fang Yu slowly landed, planting the Dragon Roar Sword into the ground.

"By my reckoning, thirty years should have passed in the secret realm, right?" Fang Yu quietly wiped the sweat from his face.

The clothes on his body had long since rotted away.

Parts of his attire were now made from vine wrappings.

In these thirty years, Fang Yu had eaten countless wild fruits and game.

Though he yearned for the delicacies of the modern city, everything in the secret realm was far too nutritious by comparison.

Everything could increase his Great Harmony Qi.

"Thirty years, I've killed no less than ten million monsters..." Fang Yu muttered to himself.

Taking advantage of a moment's respite, Fang Yu sat down with his legs crossed.

Breathing in and out.

The rich spiritual energy swiftly restored Fang Yu's primordial qi.

The Divine Dragon Technique was about Great Harmony Qi, which was smooth and gentle, but fierce and terrifying when provoked.

He could cultivate without spiritual energy, but the presence of spiritual energy accelerated the pace.

After a while of cultivation, Fang Yu opened his eyes and lifted his right hand.

Despite thirty years of exposure to the wind and sun, and not aging, his hands had calluses.

"Sigh, from fresh meat to dried meat again. If only I could undergo another transformation." Fang Yu squinted.

Ao—

A dragon's roar.

Fang Yu summoned the divine dragon.

The divine dragon shockingly changed color, turning into the most vibrant color within the flame—blue.

The Blue Flame Holy Dragon!

This was the sixth transformation of the Holy Dragon Nine Transformations.

Fang Yu evolved into this form three days ago.

"I've achieved the sixth transformation, the Blue Flame Holy Dragon. My Inner Essence has been forcibly elevated to the Supreme Heavenly Rank in these thirty years. But... what exactly is my true strength? What mysteries lie above the Saint rank?"

Regrettably, he was still unable to leave the secret realm.

Many puzzles lay before Fang Yu, unsolvable for now.

However...

Memories of Tiandu Mountain had been almost completely absorbed by Fang Yu in these thirty years within the secret realm.

Back then.

The Dragon Emperor conquered the world, seized Tiandu Mountain, and resided in Tiandu Hall.

He and his first wife, deeply in love, helping each other, jointly forged this grand legacy that lasted for millennia.

The so-called, each generation of the emperor has its own courtiers.

The Dragon Emperor reached the pinnacle among the Cultivators of the Nine Provinces of Huaxia.

Later—

Spiritual Energy began to thin.

Riots broke out in many places across the Nine Provinces of Huaxia.

The Dragon Emperor led his subordinates to suppress the uprisings.

The Battle of the Northern Desert, the Battle of South Capital, the Battle of Sishui…

One battle after another, the reputation of the Five Great Divine Palaces echoed through the entire Cultivation World.

Countless Loose Cultivators started joining the Five Great Divine Palaces.

The power of Tiandu Mountain grew stronger and stronger.

Finally, a structure was established with Tiandu Mountain at the core, guarded by the Five Great Divine Palaces, and the Seventy-two Sects as subordinate Sects.

Just when the Dragon Emperor thought that his grand legacy was just beginning—

The person he loved most, the person he trusted most, the woman who had once taken sacred vows with him, stabbed him in the back!

What a figure the Dragon Emperor was.

With his formidable power, those rebels were swiftly quelled by him.

However…

Ziwei obtained a ring from somewhere, a Heaven Rank Spiritual Artifact!

She also colluded with the Blood Clan of the Western Regions, deliberately luring the Dragon Emperor to the back mountains.

That battle…

The sky darkened; the earth dimmed.

Unfortunately, the Dragon Emperor's understanding of the Blood Clan was insufficient, and he suffered a great loss.

In the end, he fell off a cliff.

...

Even after regaining these memories.

Fang Yu still didn't know why Ziwei would betray the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor himself didn't know either.

After falling off the cliff.

The Dragon Emperor, relying on his extraordinary strength, survived at the bottom of the cliff.

Every day, apart from diligently Cultivating, he searched for a way to return.

The Dragon Emperor knew this was a Slow-Release Secret Realm, so he wasn't in a hurry to return. A minute in the outside world was three days in the Secret Realm, giving him ample time.

Every day, what he did was Cultivate and study Arrays.

Yet—

No matter how much he tried, he could not return to the top of the cliff.

Even as the Dragon Emperor, he couldn't withstand the erosion of time.

After using up all his Life Extension Pills, he spent hundreds of years in the Secret Realm...

During these hundreds of years, resentment built up.

Before his dissolution, he condensed the last of his memories into three Fragments, leaving them inside a cave.

...

Thinking of all this, Fang Yu stood up.

He drew the Dragon Roar Sword.

Placed it in front of him, observing it for a moment...

"Dragon Emperor, oh Dragon Emperor, although others think I'm your reincarnation. I don't see it that way... You were a failure."

Fang Yu squinted and said, "I know you've carefully set things up for years, hoping to one day inhabit a body and take revenge by overtaking someone else's will! But... you picked the wrong person."

A violent voice echoed in his ear—

"Give up... Only by giving up will you find a way out. Thirty years in the Secret Realm, it's only just begun... Sooner or later you will give up... Young man, I don't believe you never have moments of weakness. Time is of the essence, outside, your woman might be suffering under the oppression of others. Aren't you worried? Aren't you scared? Leave it to me... I can help you resolve all this! I've stayed in this Secret Realm for hundreds of years, I can save you from taking many wrong paths!"

"Shut up!"

Amidst the psychological warfare by the residual consciousness of the Dragon Emperor, Fang Yu was fearless, "You probably don't understand me... I, Fang Yu, was originally surnamed Lu. When I was with the Lu Family, I endured endless mockery and oppression. From a young age, my will was a hundred times tougher than my peers! Those years wandering Jiangzhou, no storm could shake my consciousness... You think because you're the Dragon Emperor that I'm weak, you think Cultivators must have stronger will than ordinary people? In my eyes, humans are all flesh-and-blood emotional beings! Don't even think about using Ye Wenjun to make me waver!"

Howl—

Gargle—

"Damn it! You really should die! Don't use the Divine Dragon Technique!" The voice beside him was very intense.

"Do you know why you failed?" Fang Yu asked.

Silence settled beside his ear. No response.

Fang Yu planted the Dragon Roar Sword back into the ground.

With a hum, the small creatures crawling on the ground around him scattered in fright.

"Dragon Emperor, in your life, you were unruly and proud, yet you thought you could master human nature. You valued brotherhood, making others bow and swear allegiance! Your Cultivation was profound, freely galloping and dealing with grudges across Jiuzhou! I admire your illustrious achievements... Yet, I ask you one question, do you know what's the most terrifying thing in this world?"

Silence remained by his ear.

Fang Yu gave a self-deprecating smile and said: "It's the human heart…"
