Chapter 1360: The Title of Domain Lord? Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

At the base of the Seven Stars Stele, Xia Fei’s party was invited into the headquarters of the Devil Shadow Dragoons.

Compared to the former glory of the Fiend Race, the current Devil Shadow Dragoon headquarters was very crude, though it remained as complicated and intricate as ever. Numerous star maps and coordinates were hung up on the walls. The famed tacticians of the Devil Shadow Dragoons planned out their war against the dragons here.

A fang was hanging up on the wall, which drew a lot of interest from Xia Fei. This fang was extremely sharp and took up an entire wall. Xia Fei couldn’t help but stare at it.

“That is a dragon fang! Our brothers extracted it from a Megadragon. Before killing a Megadragon, we will pull out one of their fangs! You’re only looking at one of them,” Raksha said grimly, his hands held behind his back.

A dragon’s fang!

Everyone was stunned. It seemed like the Devil Shadow Dragoons had, over the countless epochs of battle, killed more than just one Megadragon! Without any reinforcements at all, they had held on and delivered impressive results. The combat power of this force definitely wasn’t all talk!

“Please, sit!” Nalan Wufa waved his hand at them. Xia Fei, as a junior, had planned to sit at the very end of the table, but to his surprise, the three Devil Shadow Dragoon chiefs staunchly refused to let that happen. They insisted Xia Fei be seated at the chair closest to theirs, such that he was sitting next to Yangguang.

“Sit closer. We have many important things to ask you,” Nalan Wufa said.

Xia Fei nodded. They appeared to be very interested in him.

General Dinghai frowned and asked him, “Was everything said about the Annihilation Universe true?”

Everyone nodded helplessly. The three chiefs of the Devil Shadow Dragoons sighed. The ill-tempered Raksha went purple in the face as he clenched his fist.

Seeing that the mood was off, the bald Ding Hai quickly changed the topic. “Xia Fei, your speed exceeds one hundred million, and you have a pair of broken wings?”

Xia Fei nodded. Nalan Wufa asked, “Can you show it to us?”

Xia Fei stood up and made a Critical Strike move. He instantly shot over to the door and then returned to his seat.

This was naturally a very short process, but it was enough for the three big bosses to see Xia Fei’s speed and the two broken wings on his back.

Nalan Wufa exclaimed in shock, “It really is speed that surpasses one hundred million meters per second! Do you know exactly how much it is?”

After some thought, Xia Fei replied, “It’s definitely past one hundred million. If I went at full strength, I should be able to exceed one hundred and twenty million, but I still need some time for training and strengthening.”

Nalan Wufa and the other two exchanged looks and then nodded slightly.

Xia Fei asked curiously, “Why do you care so much about my speed? Is it important?”

“Important! Extremely important!” the composed Ding Hai replied swiftly.

Nalan Wufa looked around at all of them and went on, “It is not that I am disrespecting the rest of you, but we currently are facing a dire shortage of speed experts. The Devil Shadow Dragoons inherited their tactics from the Sky Devils. As you know, the First of the Sky Devils was the Broken Wing Sky Devil, Paletooth. Thus, Devil Shadow Dragoons without speed warriors were like horses that are missing a leg.

“We didn’t have many speed warriors to start with, let alone maximum rank existences, and we must also consider the pressure placed on speed warriors. Gathering intel requires speed warriors, and combat also requires speed. Given how much risk they put themselves in, losses are inevitable over time.”

After a pause, Nalan Wufa added, “Alas, speed depends on talent. Even if one does their utmost to nurture a warrior, if they have no talent, they will find it very difficult to become a speed warrior. I will be frank with all of you. In a battle with the wicked dragons a few days ago, our last warrior who could travel faster than ten million meters per second was lost. We are at our most dire moment, and your people came at the perfect time.”

Ding Hai smiled. “Wufa, our brothers had only just arrived. We might be telling them too much. Brothers, why don’t you go and rest.”

Xia Gucheng and Yangguang hastily refused, Xia Gucheng saying, “A lack of speed warriors is no problem at all. The Skywings have inherited the Law of Speed, and there are twenty-one of us who can travel faster than ten million meters per second! If the army needs it, we can go onto the battlefield at any time!”

“Twenty-one people!” The Devil Shadow Dragoon chiefs were stunned, disbelief on their faces. And those twenty-one people didn’t include Xia Fei and Xia Gucheng! For the imperiled Dragoons, this was an unbelievable fortune!

At this moment, Yangguang suddenly said, “Since you have the surname Nalan, then you should be a descendant of Nalan Hangu and Nalan Sheng. Where are they? Why haven’t they come to see me?”

Shhh~

Nalan Wufa paled, and he whispered, “Dragon King, I will be honest with you. Our Nalan Clan was tasked by the Sky Devils with the duty of managing the Dragoons. Our Nalan Clan has always done everything in its power to protect the Fiend Race. Back then, forty-three of my brothers were with the army, but I am the only survivor.”

Everyone was moved by these words. Before leaving, the Sky Devils had awarded the Ding and Nalan Clans shared stewardship of the Fiend Race. The Ding Clan managed the affairs of the Fiend Race while the Nalan Clan managed the Dragoons and served as the military force. As for the Rak Clan, it provided assistance wherever it was needed.

Although there was a Rak, a Ding, and a Nalan among the three chiefs of the Devil Shadow Dragoons, they were no longer what they once were. These people had been the younger generation of their respective clans, and they had grown up in the middle of battle. This was the reason why Yangguang did not recognize them.

The Nalan Clan had only Nalan Wufa as its sole remaining member, and the Ding Clan and Rak Clan were only doing slightly better, with only a scant few members left.

Yangguang sighed, closing his eyes in sadness. These people were all Yangguang’s juniors, but Yangguang was unable to raise his head to them. After all, in the past, they had all agreed to work together, but Yangguang had been deceived and had not been able to join them.

“How many warriors do the Devil Shadow Dragoons have left?” Yangguang asked.

“Around 47,200,” Nalan Wufa replied firmly.

“So few!?” Yangguang was aghast. The Devil Shadow Dragoons had once numbered in the millions! The Fiends had fully mobilized for this assault back then, taking all the high-ranked combat power of the race. Nearly ten million had set off in that force! But now, more than ninety percent had been lost!

The Fiend Race usually brought very few female warriors, and this was also the case for the blood-related Skywing Clan. There only female warriors were part of the medical team.

In ordinary battles, this wasn’t a problem, but in situations like this, where they were imprisoned for countless epochs, the lack of women immediately showed its disadvantages. The Devil Shadow Dragoon had no means of replenishing their forces over time, and so their numbers had dwindled.

Of course, no one could have imagined that this battle would go on for so long!

Xia Fei encouragingly said, “Battle has never been about just numbers. This time, Yangguang has brought his entire race, and we’ve also brought all our elites. If we combine forces, we might not necessarily lose!”

“That’s right!” Raksha looked at Xia Fei excitedly. “Especially because you’re here! You’ve brought hope to all of Seven Stars Stele! So long as we take the Seven Star Steles, no matter how the dragons come, they will all die!

Xia Fei was startled. He curiously asked, “Take the Seven Star Steles? You mean those seven huge stones? What are they for?”

Yangguang, Chu Jingfeng, and Xia Gucheng all became curious, not understanding what was going on here.

Nalan Wufa stood up and opened the door. Pointing at the seven enormous steles, he said, “The Seven Star Steles are also known as the God-Surpassing Stairs! Look at how each stele is taller than the next. What do they look like?”

“Like stairs,” Xia Fei replied quickly.

“Yes, like stairs! That’s why they’re called the God-Surpassing Stairs. So long as one can cross the Seven Star Steles, one can obtain a supreme status: Domain Lord!” Nalan Wufa told them.

“Domain Lord!?” Everyone was shocked.

“Yes, the hegemon of a world! We are holding Seven Stars Stele precisely because of the importance of the God-Surpassing Stairs. Once we cross these stairs, we will cease to be sapient lifeforms, but gods! Gods of an entire world!

“Alas, despite the passing of generations of Dragoons, none of us has ever been able to divine the mysteries of the Seven Star Steles, nor has anyone been able to cross them to become master of the universe,” Nalan Wufa went on.

The mysterious Seven Star Steles! The mysterious God-Surpassing Stairs! By crossing these seven steles, one could possess a world, an entire universe!?

Xia Fei curiously asked, “So a warrior above Annihilator is called a Domain Lord!? I presume that the Five Ancient Apexes of Annihilation and all of you are Domain Lords?”

Nalan Wufa shook his head. “Domain Lord has nothing to do with cultivation. It is a title. The Sky Devils once told us that someone who received this title had been acknowledged as someone who could own an entire world.”

Xia Fei frowned. “I see. But what does that have to do with this war?”

Nalan Wufa shook his head. “I’m not sure. I only know that the dragons want to take the Seven Star Steles. For countless epochs, the war has always revolved around these steles, with neither side backing down over them.

“Whenever the dragons take Seven Star Steles, they will have their members enter it to vie for the title of Domain Lord. This is a very dangerous ordeal, and the dragons have lost many of their elites because of it. If not for this, we might not have lasted for this long.

“Only one year ago, we expended an enormous price to take back the Seven Star Steles. You truly came at the perfect time. Based on our perimeter reports, the dragons have recovered their strength, and a new battle is about to begin!”

For how many epochs had they been fighting over the Seven Star Steles? What exactly did those seven heaven-soaring steles and the status of Domain Lord represent?

Seven Stars Stele placed a hand on Xia Fei and asked, “It seems like you feel that because Xia Fei is a speed-type, you want him to do something with the Seven Star Steles?”

Nalan Wufa pointed at the first and shortest stele. “Every time someone goes in, the stele will light up. When one reaches the second stele, that stele will light up, and so on and so forth. The Devil Shadow Dragoons have constantly attempted to get in, and the one who got closest to the seventh stele wasn’t our strongest warrior, but our fastest scout! He managed to get all the way to the fifth stele!”

Yangguang was startled. “This means that speed is more important than rank! Then how fast was the warrior who reached the fifth stele?”

“Maximum rank speed, sixty million!” Nalan Wufa said grimly.
