Am I the Dragon Emperor?

Fallen God Ravine located in the northern part of the Pill Region, where the Pill Tower is located, and is still within the scope of the Northern Region of the Central Plains.

After traveling for several days, the two had arrived at the outer area of Fallen God Ravine.

Looking around, the entire Fallen God Ravine resembles a death zone, with countless dark cracks covering the rocky wasteland.

Above the sky, a purplish-black poisonous mist swirled, growing denser the deeper one ventured into the Fallen God Ravine.

"My God, what kind of crappy place is this? Qin Yu, are you sure the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast you're looking for is here?"

The two stood on a high mountain on the outskirts of Fallen God Ravine, looking down at the scene below. Zi Yan couldn't help but confirm with Qin Yu again.

"Don't worry, this information is absolutely correct."

If this is wrong, I'll just do a handstand...

"So... do you want to make some arrangements in advance?"

How did you know?

Zi Yan's words made Qin Yu, who was just about to leave, pause and look back with interest.

He did indeed plan to set up an Formation in advance to weaken the poisonous miasma in Fallen God Ravine.

As Seventh-Rank Magical Beast, the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast has a huge environmental advantage in a place like Fallen God Ravine.

Although Qin Yu's Heavenly Flames could suppress poison, since he had the ability, he naturally wanted to cut off the opponent's support first.

"Can't I know? Ever since you learned how to set up Formation when you were dealing with Demon Flame Valley, haven't you always used Formation to cover your opponent in every fight?"

Qin Yu paused for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and it seemed that was indeed the case.

Demon Flame Valley, Black Emperor Sect, Feng Alliance... Ever since he tasted the benefits of Formation during the destruction of Demon Flame Valley, he has been extremely fond of them.

There's no way around it, it really works!

Qin Yu doesn't consider himself a master of Formation yet, but the Formation he can set up can already greatly influence a battle.

Why not use something so useful?

"You're quite good at summarizing. Wait for my message."

"Okay."

Even after Qin Yu left, Zi Yan's thoughts continued to race.

So, what if Qin Yu...?

To ensure complete dominance throughout the battle, they simply set up a massive array that covers the entire Fallen God Ravine?

How long will that take to set up?

Qin Yu: I thought I was already a radical, but I didn't expect there to be someone even more radical than me? A grand formation covering the entire Fallen God Ravine? Even if I were a Dou Venerable, I couldn't withstand such a massive drain!

The Fallen God Ravine covers a vast area. Qin Yu roughly estimated that at least four Dou Zun expert would be needed to create a large formation that could cover the Fallen God Ravine.

Furthermore, they cannot be newly promoted One-Star Dou Venerable.

However, Zi Yan was only thinking about it; after all, Qin Yu had behaved that way before.

"Hmm..."

As she was pondering, Zi Yan suddenly frowned.

"What... is this feeling?"

She clutched her chest, pressing her hand to her heart; her breathing was somewhat erratic.

"Is it my own kind looking for me?"

After calming down a bit, Zi Yan realized that she had experienced this feeling before.

Now that it's reappeared, the feeling is noticeably stronger than last time.

Perhaps, it really is one of their own kind looking for them?

"Hopefully they'll be more agreeable."

Zi Yan lowered her head, silently praying that she wouldn't be taken back by her clan and never be able to get out again!

Just then, Zi Yan, who was always sensitive to spatial perception, suddenly turned around and looked behind her.

"My Emperor, I have finally found you."

The next moment, a spatial rift tore open in front of Zi Yan, and a burly man in black stepped out quickly.

The moment he saw Zi Yan, a deep-seated reverence stemming from their shared bloodline caused the burly man in black to immediately kneel on one knee before Zi Yan.

"Who... who are you?"

Although Zi Yan had already guessed the burly man's identity, she was still a little dazed. She had just been thinking about it, and now her guess had come true!?

The burly man stood up, straightened his disheveled robes, and said respectfully:

"Dragon Emperor Majesty, I am Hei Qing. I know you have many questions, but please believe me, I have no ill intentions. I simply wish to take you back to Dragon Island, back to our Ancient Void Dragon Clan."

"The Ancient Void Dragon... Is this my true identity...?"

Hei Qing rambled on and on, but Zi Yan only caught three words:

Dragon Emperor, Hei Qing, Ancient Void Dragon.

Huh?

etc...

He called me Dragon Emperor?

Am I the Dragon Emperor?

"Wait, what did you just call me? Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor?"

To make sure she hadn't misheard, Zi Yan asked Hei Qing again.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zi Yan couldn't help but rub her forehead.

This amount of information is too much; her CPU can't handle it.

"My lord, please come back with me first. Once we return to Dragon Island, the elders will explain everything to you."

Seeing Zi Yan's state, Hei Qing tentatively suggested that they return to Dragon Island first.

"No!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan, who was still in a daze, immediately bristled and sobered up instantly.

"I... I came here with a friend, and we're preparing to hunt a Seventh-Rank Magical Beast."

"Friend?"

Upon hearing this, Hei Qing raised an eyebrow. He was quite curious about what kind of friends his Dragon Emperor had made after wandering for so many years.

If they genuinely care about the Dragon Emperor, Hei Qing is naturally happy to befriend them.

But what if it's because their Dragon Emperor isn't very bright...?

Bah! If he were to bully and deceive her just because the Dragon Emperor is wise but appears foolish, then Hei Qing would really have to put a better eye on him!

"Yes, he's a very, very good friend of mine. He's taken good care of me, and I've eaten quite a lot of his food."

"A very good friend..."

Hei Qing scratched his head awkwardly. Looking at Zi Yan's expression, he felt that this "friend" was a little off.

"Very well, then I will wait here with you, sir. You can leave the Seventh-Rank Magical Beast to me."

In any case, let's wait until we get there before making any decisions.

Zi Yan probably won't go back to Dragon Island with him until this "friend's" matter is resolved properly.

Even though Hei Qing's strength far surpasses that of the current Dragon Emperor, he cannot afford to be disrespectful.

"Sir, your friend..."

While waiting, Hei Qing spoke again, still wanting to learn more about Zi Yan's friend from her.

"Don't call me 'sir' anymore, it sounds really awkward. Just call me Zi Yan."

"This... Hei Qing dares not."

To address the Dragon Emperor by his given name is utterly offensive.

This is Hei Qing's idea.

"You... never mind, whatever."

Zi Yan corrected him several times, but Hei Qing remained steadfast in his principles, leaving Zi Yan at a loss.

"Ahem, sir, didn't you come here with a friend to hunt Magical Beast? What exactly did your friend do?"

Seeing that the topic had passed, Hei Qing asked again.

"Sigh, what else can he do but prepare the coffin for them in advance?"

Seeing that Hei Qing didn't seem to understand, Zi Yan simply switched to plain language:

"It's just setting up Formation and making some pre-battle preparations."
