Imperial God Emperor

Looking at the glittering gold crown of light in the distance, the apprehension of coming to the ruins domain and the worries and fear about the future of Heaven Wasteland Domain first were immediately dispelled by the brilliance of the giant city before them. 

The golden light flashing from the crowned giant tower in the distance, like the blessing of the Storm Martial Emperor, made everyone in the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps have a surge of confidence and courage.

Ye Qingyu was also infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere.

He had heard about the many deeds of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and had been to the suspected Formation Emperor Luo Su's palace, as well as the Underground Moonlight Immortal Palace. There, he acquired a part of the Thunder and Lightning Emperor Qin Ming's inheritance, but in the face of another creation of a martial emperor, it was still difficult to contain his surging excitement. 

……

After about one hour.  

The crowd finally arrived at Sunrise City. 

Facing this huge city at such close range, it increasingly made people feel small and insignificant. The moat-like golden city wall that was thousands of meters high made people under the walls seem like ants walking in the foothills. 

The main entrance of Sunrise City was unusually different, taking on the shape of a dragon headed Suanni [TN Note: hybrid of lion and dragon].

The mythical Suanni head extended out from the golden wall, as though it really was going to swallow up heaven and earth. That wide opened mouth was a long passage into the city. The dragon teeth were dark, and the entire dragon head gate was built from unknown materials, similar to gold, wood, and stone, and was suffused with a divine power that maked one shudder all over. 

But the moment the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps came to the entrance, the mythical dragon head gate suddenly, like it was alive, slowly began to move.

“Woof?”

Upon seeing this scene, silly dog Little Nine suddenly screamed out, seemingly extremely shocked, and finally loosened his bite on the wrist of the chubby old man Yan Wushuang.

The old man heaved a sigh of relief, rubbing the deep dog teeth marks on his wrist and kept a distance from silly dog Little Nine. 

Boom! 

Under the gaze of the crowd, the huge Suanni dragon mouth slowly closed with a loud bang. 

“What's going on?”

“The door closed?”

“Its not letting us go in?” 

The crowd was extremely surprised.  

Ye Qingyu turned to the chubby old man, a puzzled look in his eyes. 

The chubby old man grinned, “Everyone, everyone, do not panic. Hehe, it's just that there is a rule in Sunrise City... Well, the dragon head gate is based on the battle pet of His Highness Storm Martial Emperor, the [Mythical Suanni]. It is rumoured to have supreme power, and possesses spiritual intelligence. To enter Sunrise City, one must obtain the recognition of the dragon head.” 

Excitement welled up within everybody when they heard these words. 

“How can we get recognition?” Yu Xiaoxing asked.

The chubby old man smiled, rubbing away his sweat, “This I do not know, each person has their own method, and everyone has a different way of entering Sunrise City. It depends on yourself.”

The crowd was speechless after hearing this.  

“I'll give it a try.” Noodle maniac Wen Wan was eager to give it a go.

He leaped to the huge dragon head gate, and with a loud roar, yuan energy began to surge around him. His body enlarged several times, grabbing hold onto the two interlaced Suanni dragon teeth, hoping to rely on the huge force to directly break the dragon head gate. 

But the next moment—— 

Boom! 

A wave of divine power burst forth. 

Wen Wan was directly propelled away. He slammed to the ground face first, and swallowed a mouthful of sand.  

“Haha, woof. Haha, Wen noodles... so funny, Woof.” Silly dog Little Nine frantically pounded his feet on the ground, his left foreleg pointed at Wen Wan, bursting into heartless laughter. 

Wen Wan spurted out sand and fumed, “Stupid dog, what are you laughing at, go open the gate if you're so good.”

The dog shot a disdainful glance at Wen Wan, and launched a merciless taunt, “Woof has told you before to not eat so much noodles, now your strength has deteriorated, Woof hahaha... Watch me.”

With that, the silly dog really leapt on top of the dragon head gate. 

However, very quickly a strange look of puzzlement emerged on his face.

He tilted his nose closer to the head of the dragon and took a deep sniff, seemingly looking for something, “Woof, it’s a little strange, I smell a familiar taste, it seems.... I have made a mark here before?” 

Made a mark? 

Ye Qingyu was surprised for a moment when he heard this, before he understood what he meant.

But before he could say anything, that thing had already lifted one of his legs and peed merrily. 

“Woof haha, doesn’t matter, just make another mark.” With a patter of water, silly dog Little Nine, under everyone's gaze, urinated over the head of Sunrise City’s Suanni dragon head gate. 

In the air, suddenly there was a burst of air-sucking sound.  

If the white bastard dog were not Ye Qingyu's pet, the people of Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps would have rushed over to chop him to pieces and barbecue his meat.

That was the Sunrise City constructed by the Storm Martial Emperor, and that dragon head gate contains the spirit of the Storm Martial Emperor battle pet Suanni. Urinating on it was simply insulting the entire Human Race. 

“This... this is really... interesting.” The fat old man Yan Wushuang was speechless at the scene. 

The thin old man Shuang Wuyan tried hard to restrain his expression, but he was unable to hide the twitching of the corners of his mouth. 

The two did not quite understand why the divine power within the Suanni dragon head gate did not emerge to directly hack the lowly dog to death.

Very soon, what made them even more shocked had happened. 

Rumble! 

In the midst of a heavy thud, the head of the Suanni dragon slowly widened its giant mouth, and the gate of Sunrise City opened.

“This...” 

Everyone looked at the wide opened city gate in disbelief.

Silly dog was equally astonished. He glanced at the faces of the crowd, then at the opened gate, and then carefully looked between his legs in a difficult posture. It was clear that the opening of the gate in such a way was completely unexpected even for him. 

“This... this...” the fat old man uttered incoherently.

He could be said to be experienced and knowledgeable in the Chaos Ruins Domain, but had never seen the Suanni dragon gate in Sunrise City being opened in this way. For a moment he could only stare dumbfoundedly, and finally helplessly said, “Ahem, ahem, well, you are really... the door has opened, you can go in, this is just a routine test, it is not an official assessment of the 19 cities of chaos...“

Before his voice faded. 

A thunderous roar came from within the city. 

Then the earth seemed to be quaking.

A gust of wind and thunder rose from Sunrise City, rapidly darting toward the gate of the city, and a violet mist-like ferocious qi penetrated through the Suanni dragon head gate after a few moments.

At this time, everybody could see clearly that it was not a gust of wind and thunder, but the cavalry of the Violet Gold divine guard. 

This team of cavalrymen was made up of young people, possessing astounding strength, and besides their face, they were completely shrouded in violet gold armour from head to toe, like a number of violet and golden gods of war.

They each sat astride a four- or five-meter-tall blazing battle beast, which was the shape of a lion, and similarly clad in violet gold armour. The flames at the neck were flickering, flame qi were threateningly enveloping all over their body, and the soles of their feet were blazing with divine fire, emitting a scorching heat into the void. 

It was only a team of guards, no more than one hundred, but the imposing manner was amazing, resembling that of an army of thousands. 

Once out of the city gate, the cavalrymen came to a sudden stop.

The leader of the several young cavalrymen, standing on the back of the battle beast, condescendingly studied Ye Qingyu and the other members of the diplomatic corps. 

The atmosphere was a bit strange. 

“It’s Suanni, the mythical beast Suanni?” the usually calm Qu Hanshan also could not help crying out in surprise upon the sight of the battle beast of the cavalrymen. 

Because he found that the battle beasts, although clothed in violet gold armour, were identical in shape and appearance to the legendary mythical beast Suanni. 

Heavens! 

It was rumoured that the divine Dragon God gave birth to nine sons, and Suanni was its fifth son, a rare divine beast, with the power that rivals the Fiendgods. Even the quasi-emperor had not been able to ride astride such a mythological beast.

Who were these cavalrymen that could control Suanni? 

On the other side, the fat old man Yan Wushuang shook his head, “Not Suanni, but a subspecies of Suanni, it is not as outrageous as you imagine... But, what's going on, even the Violet Gold divine guards of Sunrise City are dispatched?”  

Violet Gold divine guards? 

Ye Qingyu was a little surprised. From the expression of the fat old man, it seemed that these young cavalrymen definitely did not have a low status in Sunrise City. 

At this point, opposite—— 

“Who opened the city gate?” The leader of the young cavalrymen was handsome, had sword-like brows and bright eyes, but his expression was extremely arrogant. Standing on the back of the subspecies of Suanni, he condescendingly looked down at the crowd, and asked in a cold and interrogating tone of voice. 

Ye Qingyu and Yu Xiaoxing exchanged a glance. 

Luo Yi hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and explained with a smile across his face, “We are the assessment corps of Heaven Wasteland Domain. It is our first time in Sunrise City. We just opened the gate to pass the city, this is my Empress of Heaven Wasteland Domain and the Light Palace...”

Before he finished his sentence, the young leader interrupted him impatiently, “Stop, stop, stop, I don’t care whether you are the empress or not, don’t talk so much crap. Whoever comes to Sunrise City will have to listen to the rules of the Violet Gold divine residence. First, correct your identity... Haha, Empress? She is nothing more than a woman from a lower domain.”

Luo Yi was shocked. 

He had thought that since they were both of the Human Race, and that these people seemed to be the law enforcers of Sunrise City, they would be partial to Heaven Wasteland Domain, but... unexpectedly the other side was so rude, overbearing, and arrogant. They did not care about the rights and wrongs of a matter, and inexplicably looked down on them. Moreover, his tone and his expression were as though he was scolding a beggar.  

“Nonsense, how dare you speak to Her Majesty like that.” Someone of the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps regarded the Wu Zhao Empress Yu Xiaoxing as God, hearing the arrogant remarks from the young leader, immediately could not help but rebuke. 

Opposite. 

“You want to die.” The young leader of the Violet Gold guards glowered at the person who spoke, “Lower domain bastard, you have a death wish.” 

As he was speaking, the subspecies Suanni beast suddenly opened its mouth, spewing out a gush of divine fire towards the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps——
