Su Feiyu was already the patriarch of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, so the “ancestor” he spoke of was undoubtedly extraordinary.
Sure enough, the moment his words rang out, an overwhelmingly powerful aura descended from the heavens.
The instant this aura appeared, the entire world seemed to freeze.
Even someone as formidable as Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning found it difficult to move.
Though he saw no one, he knew—this was the presence of a Heavenly Supreme.
Only a Supreme Realm expert could unleash such terrifying pressure, making even a half-step Supreme like him struggle to take a single step.
As expected, the owner of this aura soon spoke.
“Brother Liu Shan, let us end this matter here. What do you say?”
The voice did not address Ye Wushuang or Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning, but instead called out toward the depths of the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace.
To a Heavenly Supreme, only another Heavenly Supreme was worth acknowledging.
Even a half-step Supreme like Liu Ning was beneath their notice.
To them, a single realm’s difference meant an insurmountable gap.
Those below the Supreme Realm were unworthy of their words.
Hearing this, a response came from deep within the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace.
“Su Hu, you’ve finally shown yourself. I thought you’d wait until the war was over before making an appearance.”
“This battle is already decided—our Heavenly Dragon Clan has lost. We admit defeat!”
“Admitting defeat is fine, but you must offer compensation and apologize!”
The exchange between Su Hu and Liu Shan sent shockwaves through the onlookers.
They had assumed the main players in this conflict were the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors.
Who would have guessed that Heavenly Supremes had been watching from the shadows all along?
What’s more, this Supreme’s ruthlessness exceeded all expectations.
Even as the Heavenly Dragon Legion’s 300,000-strong army was annihilated, he refused to intervene.
Such patience, such cunning—it defied imagination.
This served as a stark reminder: to face a Heavenly Supreme in battle, one must not only fear their power but also their schemes.
After all, those who reach the Supreme Realm are ancient beings who have lived for countless years.
The older they are, the more treacherous they become.
Su Hu was oblivious to these thoughts—and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
“One Major World, and this matter is settled. We will also no longer interfere in the matter of the Primordial Dragon Blood youth.”
“One is not enough. Five.”
“Brother Liu Shan, five Major Worlds would amount to nearly half of our Heavenly Dragon Clan’s resources. Do not push too far.”
“It seems we must settle this with a fight before you’ll concede. Let us battle in the outer void!”
“Very well!”
Surrendering five Major Worlds without a struggle was unacceptable to the Heavenly Dragon Clan’s ancestor.
Thus, he and Liu Shan departed for the outer void, where they clashed in a fierce battle.
The fight did not last long—within the time it took an incense stick to burn, Su Hu and Liu Shan returned.
Their auras remained overwhelmingly powerful, showing no signs of weakness.
It was as if they had merely taken a stroll before coming back.
But everyone knew their battle must have been devastating.
Countless stars in the void were likely obliterated, and entire minor worlds reduced to dust.
After all, a single casual strike from a Heavenly Supreme could trigger a cataclysmic storm.
Tension gripped the crowd—who had won?
Finally, the Heavenly Dragon Clan’s ancestor spoke.
“Fine. Five Major Worlds it is. Henceforth, the Divine Dragon Imperial Family shall not use this incident to trouble us further.”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang remained indifferent, but Su Feiyu cried out in protest.
“Ancestor! Five Major Worlds—how can we just hand them over to the Divine Dragon Imperial Family?!”
“This matter is already decided!”
Su Hu had no desire to concede either, but his battle with Liu Shan had left him injured.
He sensed that Liu Shan’s strength had grown yet again.
While Liu Shan couldn’t kill him, prolonging the fight would only worsen his injuries.
Thus, he chose to surrender the five Major Worlds to end the conflict once and for all.
Though the onlookers didn’t witness the battle, Su Hu’s tone made it clear—he had lost.
Only defeat would make him yield so readily.
This realization filled the Heavenly Dragon Clan with dread and despair.
Their invincible ancestor… had actually been bested.
This operation had ended in utter failure.
As Su Hu finished speaking, all eyes turned to the depths of the Divine Dragon Imperial Family, awaiting their final stance.
At last, Liu Shan’s voice echoed calmly from within.
“Agreed.”
With that single word, Su Hu exhaled in relief, as did the rest of the Heavenly Dragon Clan.
With a wave of his hand, he took Su Feiyu and the Heavenly Dragon Legion’s commanders—who were still being suppressed by Liu Ning—and vanished.
Only the members of the Dragon Blood Clans remained.
Su Feiyu had wanted to intervene on their behalf, but he lacked the power to do so.
Now that Su Hu and Su Feiyu had departed, the Dragon Blood cultivators trembled in terror.
All eyes now fell upon them.
“E-Elder… we are also willing to offer compensation! Please spare our lives!”
“Very well. You must also surrender five Major Worlds.”
“Yes! Yes! We will gather them! We swear to deliver five Major Worlds to the Divine Dragon Empire!”
Unlike the Heavenly Dragon Clan, these Dragon Blood Clans were far weaker.
Their strongest members were only at the Immortal Emperor Realm.
With even the Heavenly Dragon Clan’s Supreme defeated, how could mere Immortal Emperors dare resist?
They would agree to anything Liu Shan demanded.
Even if the price was five Major Worlds, they would pay it to survive.
Fortunately, there were over a dozen clans present, representing numerous Dragon Blood lineages.
Combined, they could afford such a cost.
Thus, grasping at this lifeline, they eagerly accepted.
Before leaving, however, they pleaded for the release of their clansmen imprisoned within the Divine Dragon Heavenly Palace.
At their desperate appeals, Ye Wushuang eventually relented and freed them.
And so, the battle concluded.
The Divine Dragon Empire emerged victorious—annihilating 300,000 enemies and claiming ten Major Worlds, cementing their dominance across the Heavenly Origin Cosmos.
