Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 1026 - 1024: What’s the Reason? (1)

Di Qing was not someone who enjoyed admitting defeat. Well, to be precise, he was a Demon Beast.

After all, the Emperor Dragon’s Clan had always been beings born to rule, always standing above all since ancient times.

In Di Qing’s over three million years of life, he hadn’t fought all that many battles. The beings capable of qualifying to fight him, daring even, were far too few.

And in those rare encounters, he was always the victor. Even when he faced peril, life-and-death peril, his confidence was unshaken—he never admitted defeat. This was the pride of the Emperor Dragon’s Clan, his unwavering belief in himself.

Yet.

At this moment.

He admitted defeat.

Not only that—he knelt down.

He willingly knelt down!

It wasn’t merely out of desperate concern for his daughter’s safety; it was because he understood the reality of the situation.

Even though he hadn’t yet exchanged blows with Su Chen, the power Su Chen had displayed when crushing his daughter Di Qiong left no doubts as to the disparity between them.

He could also defeat his daughter, but it would not be as effortless—he would need to expend considerable effort. His daughter Di Qiong wasn’t weak in the slightest; she was the greatest genius the Fierce Domain had ever seen, gifted beyond compare in combat and martial arts cultivation, even possessing a sharp intellect—a trait rare among the Monster Beast Clan.

Yet Su Chen had effortlessly crushed his daughter Di Qiong, and Di Qing had an instinctive feeling that Su Chen hadn’t even shown his full strength.

This alone was enough to make it clear—he was no match for Su Chen, not even close.

Since that was the case, there was no need to fight. Kneeling before a stronger opponent was not shameful, even if he was the Monster Beast Emperor, even if he was of the Emperor Dragon’s Clan, even if his name was Di Qing.

The Monster Beast Clan had always been savage, fearless of death, worshippers of strength, and disdainful of weakness.

To them, what did it matter if the strong were human?

Di Qing was willing to submit, even willing to make the entire Buddha Domain’s Monster Beasts submit to Su Chen.

As Di Qing knelt down!!!

In an instant, the entire Supreme Mountain fell into a rare and overwhelming silence, as if the atmosphere had been sucked into a vacuum, with no sound to be transmitted. Every Martial Cultivator’s expression bore the same look—bewilderment. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Yes.

Bewilderment.

A dreamlike, illusory bewilderment.

Before Su Chen’s arrival, they had believed that the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect was doomed! Humanity as a race was doomed! The Buddha Domain was doomed!

After all, the Fierce Domain was so overwhelmingly powerful—the Beast Emperor so horrifying—even the Monster Beast Clan’s Little Princess was shockingly and terrifyingly formidable!

Unmatchable, unwinnable!

With an overwhelming disparity a thousandfold, ten thousandfold, even the slightest glare or release of Qi from Di Qing or his daughter could suppress them to death.

They thought Su Chen had fled—something understandable, after all, awaiting certain death when the outcome was clear would be unwise.

But who could have known...

Su Chen had miraculously arrived at the last moment.

And defeated Di Qiong with effortless ease, as if crushing an ant between his fingers.

Even the legendary Beast Emperor had knelt down.

This... this... this kind of shock could only be described as bewildering, dreamlike.

Even stretching their imaginations to the fullest, they could hardly conceive of such a sublime and fantastical dream.

Sheng Yingkun, Elderly Hun Qing, Wan Tonghai, Jun Luoying, Yun Xi, Nangong Wu, and the others—even as they watched, even as their eyes remained fixed upon the scene, they still felt an illusionary, unreal quality to it. Even witnessing it with their own eyes, they couldn’t believe it.

How could Su Chen possibly be this powerful?!!!

"Imperial Father, don’t kneel, don’t..." From afar, amidst the endless haze of dust and fragments of shattered stone, Di Qiong’s true form lay in utter misery, drenched in blood, her head covered in dust, a pitiful wreck. She was close to death—were it not for the overwhelming resilience of the Emperor Dragon’s physique, she would have died. Her cries were filled with anguish.

Knelt down!

Her Imperial Father knelt down!

Those unfamiliar with the Fierce Domain’s Monster Beasts might struggle to imagine the level of humiliation, defeat, and injury it brought to the Beast Emperor to kneel.

Never in the history of the Beast Emperors within the Fierce Domain had one knelt, not even bowed.

The Beast Emperor had always been a figure reigning over the heavens and earth, gazing down upon all creation.

"Hm?" At that moment, Su Chen felt a flash of surprise. Though the Beast Emperor Di Qing meant little to him—if he so desired, he could defeat him with a single move—he had not expected this outcome, a victory without battle.

Su Chen couldn’t help but gain a trace of appreciation for Di Qing.

Being able to yield when necessary—impressive.

"Qiong’er, shut up!!" Di Qing shouted in a commanding tone, his voice incomparably severe—a severity Di Qiong had never experienced before.

Di Qiong instantly silenced herself, breathing heavily in an attempt to recover from her injuries. Yet those injuries, even for an Emperor Dragon, would take one or two days to heal.

She wasn’t Su Chen—or rather, in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, there existed only one Su Chen.

"Tell me—why did you kneel and admit defeat?" The next moment, Su Chen stared at Di Qing, asking indifferently, his tone devoid of emotion.

"Young Master Su, the Monster Beast Clan, though savage, though bloodthirsty, though quick to anger, has always been faithful, honorable, and respectful of strength, whether that strength be human or beast. Di Qing is not Young Master Su’s equal—I am fully aware of that." Di Qing lifted his head, meeting Su Chen’s gaze. "I knelt partly to surrender and pay respect to strength. But more importantly, I seek submission to Young Master Su, to offer my allegiance—and to bring the entirety of the Fierce Domain into submission under Young Master Su’s command."

What?

Submission—to bring the entirety of the Fierce Domain into submission under Su Chen?

Di Qing’s words caused an already eerie and dead silence to escalate further on Supreme Mountain, as an almost tangible atmosphere of trembling terror engulfed everyone!

Had the Beast Emperor gone mad?

Especially the hundred or so peak-level geniuses and top-tier experts from the Fierce Domain who had come alongside Di Qing—all of them nearly bit their tongues off in shock.

If they didn’t know Di Qing so well, they might have believed this wasn’t the real Beast Emperor standing before them.

Allegiance to humans? Ha... haha... haha... Not even a little bit funny.

Humans were good at scheming and playing tricks. Humans had sheer numbers.

But in the realm of true combat power!

Humans were far from being the Monster Beasts’ rivals—the Buddha Domain, even less so compared to the Fierce Domain.

Why would the strong submit to the weak?

Meanwhile, the Martial Cultivators in Supreme Mountain were equally dumbstruck beyond belief—this was like witnessing a dream within a dream...

The Beast Emperor had proposed leading the entire Fierce Domain into submission under the Buddha Domain? This...

To put it simply!

For tens of millions of years, every Martial Cultivator within the Buddha Domain had only ever hoped and fantasized about holding out a little longer against the Fierce Domain beasts!!!

That was all.

They never even dared to dream of victory.

Just holding out longer, buying the Divine Martial Continent more time.

Yet Su Chen had done it directly... This... This was something beyond even the wildest dreams of every Martial Cultivator in the Buddha Domain throughout tens of millions of years!
