Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1991

As Yuan landed upon Dragon Spiral Mountain, a wave of shock and sorrow washed over him. The mountain was littered with thousands of corpses, many of whom were from the Holy Dragon Clan. The rest belonged to human cultivators wearing full armor.

"Heaven’s Mandate…"

Despite this being his first time encountering them, he instantly recognized them purely from their armor and its unique patterns. After all, he’d had plenty of encounters with them in his previous lives.

"Did a war happen here or something? These corpses look fresh, so it happened only recently." Liya remarked as she hovered slightly above the ground, not wanting to touch the corpses.

"It was likely the Celestial Emperor’s doing. He attacked this place in an attempt to prevent me from returning to the Nine Heavens. Clearly, it didn’t work out for him."

"The Celestial Emperor? Isn’t that the guy who sits above everyone in the Nine Heavens? The ruler of the Nine Heavens."

Though she was born on Earth, the Lord occasionally taught her about the Nine Heavens.

"That’s right," he confirmed. _{freewebnøvel.com}

"I’m impressed. How did you end up having beef with the most powerful individual in the Nine Heavens? That’s akin to offending the Lord on Earth," she remarked.

A bittersweet smile appeared on Yuan’s face as he said, "It’s complicated. Although I have never seen or met this Celestial Emperor, he clearly has a problem with me. Or should I say the ’past’ me?"

"Is that so?" Liya muttered.

Yuan used his divine sense to find the Dragon Emperor and went to find him.

Some time later, Yuan found the Dragon Emperor amidst the wreckage, quietly assisting in the search for fallen members of the clan.

"Dragon Emperor!"

The Dragon Emperor, so absorbed in his search that he hadn’t even noticed Yuan’s return, looked at him with relief in his tired gaze.

"You made it back safely, Senior."

Though he maintained a calm exterior, the Dragon Emperor’s appearance told another story. His once-majestic robes were torn and stained with blood, and his breath was also somewhat weak.

While he had sustained minor injuries during his clash with General Wang, it was his attempt to block the Divine Judgment that had exacted the greatest toll, wounding not just his body, but his very soul.

"Can you tell me what happened while I was gone? I know the Heaven’s Mandate showed up from their corpses."

The Dragon Emperor gave a solemn nod before recounting everything to Yuan, from the moment of his departure to the unexpected arrival of an unknown Cultivation God who had descended to defy the Celestial Emperor and save the Dragon Spiral Mountain.
