Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 517 - 514 The Thorny Rose

This long knife shimmered with a rich golden hue—it was undoubtedly a High-Grade Gold Level weapon!

"Swoosh!"

The red-robed Elder gripped the long knife and, without hesitation, chopped towards the frame.

The knife’s light flickered, emitting a buzzing sound in the void, causing the space to tremble slightly as ripples appeared, as if it was about to be ripped apart.

However, his cultivation base was too low, merely at the Dragon Pill Realm; moreover, the long knife was just a Gold Rank weapon. Even though it was high-grade, it still couldn’t tear through space.

To tear through space was an act only possible by those above the Dragon God Realm!

"I had thought you possessed some incredible cultivation base, some formidable weapon, but in the end, it’s just a trashy Gold Rank long knife..." Shangguan Mingxin’s voice came through, laden with disdain, contempt, and mockery.

To Mingxin, whether at the early stage or the peak, those in the Dragon Pill Realm could be instantly killed.

At this moment, she was merely toying with the Elder.

"Boom!"

The frame swiftly descended, covering the red-robed Elder’s sword light entirely. In the instant of its coverage, the sword light emitted by the Elder was devoured by the frame!

This scene made the red-robed Elder’s complexion finally change dramatically, his heart pounding wildly as he immediately turned his head and roared, "Attack together!!!"

Without needing further prompting, the dozen-odd people beside him also felt the looming crisis.

Among these people, the red-robed Elder had the highest cultivation, at the peak of the Dragon Pill Realm, while the others were at the Dragon Pill Realm as well, just at a later stage.

With somber expressions, at the red-robed Elder’s roaring command, they each slapped their chests, their Dragon Pills roaring to life as a great amount of Dragon Power surged, forming a vortex above the Elder’s head.

That Dragon Power instantly fused, passing through the vortex and entering the Elder’s body.

In that instant, the red-robed Elder’s body swelled abruptly, but quickly contracted, and his aura surged violently, breaking through directly from the Dragon Pill Realm Peak to the Dragon God Realm Early Peak!

"Hmm?"

Shangguan Mingxin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, a bit surprised.

The Loose Cultivators also gaped, their faces showing disbelief.

"What kind of Dragon Technique is this?!"

"It can actually merge the Dragon Power of dozens of people directly into one, rapidly increasing that person’s cultivation base?"

"No wonder the Ruyi Sect could become a Sixth-Rate Sect—if the Dragon Power of all 500,000 disciples were to be fused into one person, even if their cultivation bases were low, it would still make the one receiving the fusion immensely fearsome!!!"

In that moment, the Loose Cultivators suddenly realized why the Ruyi Sect was unconditionally recruiting disciples now.

With such a terrifying Dragon Technique, or Cultivation Technique, the more disciples the Ruyi Sect had, the stronger this technique... would become!

If there were hundreds of thousands, even millions, or over ten million people transferring all their Dragon Power to one individual, how powerful would that person become?

Even Su Han’s eyes lit up at the technique, but his expression quickly dimmed.

"It’s just a trick. Indeed, the cultivation base of this person will increase due to the fusion, but the consumption is also huge. The more the number of people involved in the fusion, the greater the consumption. If truly hundreds or thousands of millions were to merge, that person could probably only execute one strike," Su Han muttered to himself.

He could feel that the red-robed Elder’s cultivation base had indeed temporarily reached the Dragon God Realm Early Peak; however, the Dragon Power within him was still that of the Dragon Pill Realm!

In other words, he was using the Dragon Power of the Dragon Pill Realm to sustain the consumption needed for the Dragon God Realm Early Peak cultivation base.

This consumption would be immensely huge, and if without any replenishment, the red-robed Elder could at most launch two attacks before the Dragon Power within his Dragon Pill would be completely drained.

"Die!!!"

The elder in the red robe’s face twisted ferociously; he was all too aware of the situation and had no intention of wasting any more time. At the moment his cultivation base broke through, he slashed his long knife toward the square frame.

This slash, once again, materialized a sword light, and this time it was even longer, reaching a hundred zhang in length.

However, this sword light appeared somewhat unstable, as if it could collapse at any moment.

"What’s the use of forcibly raised cultivation base?"

Shangguan Mingxin spoke indifferently, her palm facing downward, and suddenly sped up the square frame formed by the Grand Derivation Sword Formation!

"Boom!"

In that instant, the sword light of the red-robed elder completely collapsed.

And at the moment of collapse, the Grand Derivation Sword Formation suddenly expanded, not only enveloping the red-robed elder but also the several dozens in the late stages of the Dragon Pill Realm around him!

Those in the late stage of the Dragon Pill Realm had just been drained of their dragon power and had had no time to replenish.

Even if they swallowed pills, what was first transformed into was spiritual power, which required time to transform into dragon power. This duration, which might not seem long on a regular day, felt like eternity at this very moment.

"Seal!"

Shangguan Mingxin’s eyes flashed, her right index and middle fingers extended, touching the square frame, and then bringing them together!

"Rumble!"

Immediately, the square frame began to shrink with a thunderous noise, all space turned pitch black, and before the red-robed elder could make his second attack after reaching the early peak of the Dragon God Realm, he was swallowed by the darkness.

Everyone below could only watch as the square frame shrank, and the dozens of figures within it, starting with the red-robed elder, were overtaken in their screams—first to a third, then to half, and finally completely covered by the inky blackness.

Everyone knew that this blackness was the void torn asunder, and the red-robed elder was not merely engulfed by darkness but silently slain by the Grand Derivation Sword Formation!

Aside from the elder, several other screams echoed out.

When the sword formation finished contracting and transformed back into dozens of longswords, flying back to Shangguan Mingxin’s side, all those dozens of people had vanished.

Except for their screams, there was silence, as if they had never existed in the first place.

There were no corpses, no blood, they just disappeared into the void, never to return again.

"Is this the captain of the Starry Divine Guard Corps?"

"Killing those at the late stage and the peak of the Dragon Pill Realm seems like no effort at all!"

"Wasn’t that red-robed elder clearly at the early peak of the Dragon God Realm? With his strength increased so immensely, how could he not even have the slightest ability to resist?"

"It can only be said that Shangguan Mingxin’s cultivation base is too strong, so strong that... even against the early stage of the Dragon God Realm, it’s an overwhelming force!"

"But the feeling she gives me is merely at the Dragon Blood Realm, isn’t it?"

"Foolish, if such a powerful cultivator wishes to hide their cultivation base, do you think you could perceive it?"

A buzz of discussion spread from the lips of the loose cultivators, with many finding Shangguan Mingxin not particularly beautiful but admitting her figure was outstanding, captivating, filled with desire.

But now...

They all understood that Shangguan Mingxin was a rose, and moreover, a rose full of thorns!
