How Long Was Five Years and How Short Was Five Years?</spoiler>

The matters of the world were like chess, unfathomable and unpredictable.

Now, five years had pa.s.sed since the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen startled the entire Kunlun Realm by jumping off his Emperor's Road during his Great Tribulation of wind and fire.

In the long lives of the Kunlun Realm's cultivators, five years was merely a quick flash. Some cultivators might even spend five years in one go in closed-door cultivation. Not too much change would happen in five years for five years was simply too short.

However, while five years was short, it was also rather long.

The Kunlun Continent roiled like a gathering storm in these five years. Many changes happened. Outstanding talents from various places stepped into the limelight continuously, making the place incredibly bustling.

After Di Wuque advanced to Martial Emperor, he progressed quickly, leading the outstanding talents and cultivating all the way until Sixth Heaven Martial Emperor before coming to a stop.

The outstanding talents of the various races advanced to Martial Emperor one after another. All sorts of legendary Emperor's Roads kept appearing, giving chase to Di Wuque.

There were even well-known talents who were not inferior to Di Wuque. The moment they advanced to Martial Emperor, their strength soared rapidly.

There were also some who were unknown before they advanced to Martial Emperor. After advancing, they showed off their strength and overwhelming Luck, flabbergasting everyone.

The Martial Dao's golden age, which was antic.i.p.ated twenty years ago, finally arrived after these five years.

The races competed with each other. A great age of s.h.i.+ning stars had arrived. Even Di Wuque did not have the strength to stand at the absolute forefront in this age.

However, with the arrival of a great age would come a great calamity.

The predictions came to pa.s.s. Five years after that horrible battle, the Astral Battlefield still fell in the end. The Kunlun Realm lost the frontlines against the Demon Races.

However, it was still fine. That battle resulted in the Deep Abyss Demonic World's Demons understanding the Kunlun Realm's hidden trump cards better. Although they managed to conquer the Astral Battlefield, they also suffered heavy losses and did not dare to initiate another all-out attack.

Now, one should not be surprised at the sight of Demon cultivators in the Kunlun Continent; this was already something very ordinary.

With the Astral Battlefield as their forward operating base, it was simply too easy for Demon experts to come to the Kunlun Realm. The major characters could not be bothered about this. As long as the Demons did not initiate a large-scale attack, the few Primes had no interest in handling these scattered Demon cultivators.

While this was a great age, it was also a chaotic age—the best kind of age. All sorts of outstanding talents emerged in great numbers. Powerful treasures appeared continuously in various forbidden lands.

This was also the worst kind of age. The Deep Abyss Demonic World's Demons held the initiative. The shadow of a Ten Thousand Year Demonic Calamity hung over everyone like a sharp sword.

The Kunlun Realm and the Demonic World could erupt in a great war at any moment. There would not be any victory or loss in this war, only life and death. Death brought great blows to both sides, threatening them with a bitter disaster.

As for the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen, the rumors about him were numerous at the start.

Some said that Xiao Chen burned to death from the rebound of the Great Tribulation of wind and fire, and not even his corpse remained. Some said that he managed to survive but was stuck at half-step Martial Emperor for life with his cultivation falling by fifty percent.

Some said that Xiao Chen's cultivation was crippled and that he was now an ordinary person.

There were all sorts of stories. However, as time went by and with the arrival of this golden age, the world slowly forgot Xiao Chen, who had not shown himself for a very long time.

After the various outstanding talents advanced to Martial Emperor and became more famous, they forgot about that legendary character from three years ago.

How long was five years and how short was five years? During these five years, the world changed too much, simply too much.

Heavenly Starry Ocean, Western Sea, Heavenly Star Island, Heavenly Dragon City:

With the pa.s.sage of five years, Heavenly Dragon City was now finished. Its city walls were tall and majestic. It looked impressive and was extraordinarily prosperous. It did not go into decline because of the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen. Instead, its rate of development sped up.

Heavenly Dragon City now rivaled Bright Moon City.

However, the one that left the deepest impression in this city was the City Lord Mo Chen, as well as its group of dazzling Vice City Lords.

Two years ago, Mo Chen cleared her Great Tribulation of wind and fire, advancing to Martial Emperor.

On that day, great flames blazed, spreading throughout the entire sky. A nine-thousand-step Holy Fire Emperor's Road that was in no way inferior to Di Wuque's nine-colored Emperor's Road.
