The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System Chapter 472 - Immortal Emperor Realm

Although the Grand Duchy of Vaeldrinn is celebrated as the domain of the draconic elves, it is far from being a land occupied by them alone.

In fact, the opposite is true.

It is more accurately described as a region governed by elves who maintain a hostile relationship with their cousins in the Kingdom of Naelion.

Long before the elves took control, this territory belonged to the Empire.

The land was seized during a retaliatory campaign after the Empire attempted to wipe out a secluded mountain people.

It was this very conflict that forced Khaedryss to be unleashed upon the Empire, an act that slaughtered numerous emperors and reduced millions of imperial citizens to ash.

Because of this, she earned the terrifying titles of Slayer of Immortals and Butcher of Empires.

The Rose Empire of the modern era would likely have been erased from history if she hadn't simply grown bored and retreated back into her lengthy slumber.

"A truly legendary tale..." Qingyi muttered under his breath as he stepped into a border town belonging to the Grand Duchy of Vaeldrinn.

The town was protected by towering black walls, and its massive double gates stood wide, granting easy passage to traveling merchants.

This was Nighthall, a city of immense strategic importance within the Grand Duchy, boasting a population exceeding three million souls.

As he blended in with the crowd of traders and passed through the primary entrance, Qingyi’s gaze drifted upward.

A few hundred meters ahead, the main road diverged into two paths that circled a modest park.

Situated within this park, surrounded by greenery and flowing water, was a massive statue of a dark beast—a creature Qingyi recognized instantly.

"Khaedryss..." A faint smirk touched the handsome youth's lips as he observed the statue’s craftsmanship and watched the commoners kneeling in silent prayer beneath it.

He found it ironic that she was worshiped as a symbol of divinity here, while in his mind, she was merely a gluttonous, sleepy beast. "Ah..." He shook his head, clearing his thoughts and hiding his smile as he looked toward the horizon. His destination was DragonPeak, the Grand Duchy’s capital, but the path forward would be treacherous. Entering the capital required an official escort, and the city was protected by constant, high-level detection formations.

Even with his mastery over shadow and spatial roots, slipping into the city undetected would be a challenge. He would need significant preparation or, at the very least, a massive boost to his elemental affinities.

"On that note..."

Qingyi summoned his status interface.

He had spent a great deal of time with his wives during the journey, which had allowed him to accumulate a vast amount of Lust Points.

The time had come to upgrade his affinities and finally break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

[Name: Long Qingyi Age: 22 Cultivation: Second Stage Of The True Immortal Realm (10T lust points to upgrade) Mana Manipulation: Ninth Ring (30T lust points to upgrade) Affinities: Lightning: 1500 - Sword: 1000 - Fire: 1500 - Ice: 1500 - Space: 1500 Light: 1500 - Shadow: 1500 - Charm: 1500 (can be upgraded in the lust store) Spiritual roots: Ancestral-level Primordial Creation Seed spirit root (Lightning, sword, fire, ice, space, light, shadow) (50T lust points to upgrade, new roots can be bought in the lust store).

After reviewing his stats, Qingyi began scouting for a suitable location to Cultivate.

While there were no facilities specifically designed for high-level cultivators, the city was filled with meditation chambers inside martial arts shops and academies.

Choosing the first one he encountered, Qingyi paid to rent a room for a week and entered seclusion.

Without wasting a second, he initiated the Cultivation upgrade, spending ten trillion Lust Points instantly.

A dull ache radiated through his frame as his Meridians stretched, followed closely by a wave of refreshing energy.

He briefly considered upgrading his Mana Heart to the Tenth Ring but decided against it for now.

Reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm would cost fifty trillion points, and he still needed to save some for his affinities.

Qingyi took a moment to steady the Qi in his Dantian and prepare his mind before finally committing to the major breakthrough.

His physical form shivered with anticipation.

The Immortal Emperor Realm was the final gateway before the massive power spike of the Ancestral Emperor Realm: the creation of a Domain.

A Domain was so vital that without one, a cultivator's strength would stagnate at the very beginning of the Ancestral Emperor level.

'I wonder what kind of domain I'll manifest...!' Qingyi mused just as the first sharp pang of pain hit him.

He was only one step away from his goal.

[Initiating breakthrough!]

As the system prompt flashed, a pained groan escaped Qingyi’s lips.

A strange sensation gripped his Dantian, and the tiny Qi core at its center—previously no larger than a few grains of rice—began to swell violently.

With his eyes shut tight, Qingyi focused on the internal transformation of his Dantian.

In an instant, his Qi capacity doubled, but the changes didn't stop there.

His Meridians thickened, and the Qi pathways leading to his brain widened, granting him unparalleled mental clarity.

He took a deep breath, tensing every muscle before allowing them to go limp.

The expansion finally ceased once his Dantian had reached four times its previous volume.

Surrounding Qi radiated from his body, and a powerful shockwave erupted, making the black walls of the meditation room shudder under the pressure.

[Your cultivation has increased! Third stage of the True Immortal Realm -> First stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm.]

Once the process concluded, Qingyi collapsed backward, his breath coming in heavy gasps from the exhaustion.

He stretched out, his abdominal muscles rippling with defined power as he tested his new strength.

He threw a simple punch—no Qi, just raw physical force.

Even so, the entire room groaned as if it were about to cave in.

Yes... this strength was impressive.

Qingyi grinned and opened the system store once more.

It was time to give his affinities the boost they needed.
