BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM-Chapter 552: Self-Destruction!

Chapter 552: Self-Destruction!

"Be careful! That’s the Three Dragon Kings’ Coordinated Strike Technique! Even a Four-Star Dou Saint would struggle to withstand it!"

Qingshan’s anxious voice rang from the other side of the battlefield.

He never expected that Gu He's appearance would actually force the already fractured and mistrustful Three Dragon Kings to bring out the ancient joint technique they had once trained during the unification of the dragon race.

Watching the Three Dragon Kings madly channeling energy, Gu He frowned slightly.

He hadn’t expected them to still be hiding such a move.

With his current cultivation at One-Star Dou Saint, he could manage against a Three-Star Dou Saint. But if their joint technique truly reached the level of a Four-Star Dou Saint, things would become problematic.

"It seems… there's no other choice!"

A decisive light flashed through Gu He's eyes. Then he turned toward Qingshan and shouted, "Elder Qingshan, retreat—now!"

Without waiting for a reply, Gu He’s projection flickered and darted straight toward the Three Dragon Kings.

At the same time, the energy inside his body suddenly grew violently chaotic.

"What?!"

Qingshan had barely registered Gu He’s voice when he sensed something unusual.

"Dragon Emperor’s master... he's planning to self-destruct to deal with the Three Dragon Kings!"

Qingshan’s voice trembled as he spoke, a thin mist gathering at the corners of his eyes.

He was both happy and proud that Zi Yan had a teacher like this, but at the same time, a deep sorrow welled up within him over Gu He’s sacrifice.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Qingshan made up his mind.

He turned and quickly retreated.

Because if Gu He self-destructed and Qingshan was also caught in it, East Dragon Island would have little hope left.

Qingshan knew very well—this self-destruction wouldn’t kill the Three Dragon Kings outright.

But it would seriously injure them.

That would buy East Dragon Island precious time to recover.

"Master of the Dragon Emperor... the Ancient Dragon Tribe will never forget your grace!"

As he withdrew, Qingshan slowly closed his eyes, unwilling to witness the final moment.

On the other side, the Three Dragon Kings were still focusing on casting their terrifying joint technique, but they soon sensed the rampaging, violent aura erupting from Gu He’s body.

"He's going to self-destruct?! This guy is insane!"

"He’s just a One-Star Dou Saint. How much damage can a self-destruction even do?"

"Don’t underestimate him! His Dou Qi might be One-Star, but the purity and density of it rivals even Three-Star Dou Saints. Who knows how he cultivated!"

Realizing what was happening, the Three Dragon Kings each reacted differently.

The North Dragon King looked fearless.

But the West and South Dragon Kings were badly wounded—especially the South Dragon King, who had taken a serious hit to the head earlier.

They were in no condition to endure a massive impact.

If they were injured again, and the others turned on them… things could end very badly.

As Gu He charged forward recklessly, the South Dragon King was the first to falter.

Even before their joint technique was released, he turned and fled.

With him gone, the technique instantly collapsed.

The West Dragon King followed soon after, quickly retreating as well.

Just as the North Dragon King opened his mouth to curse them for being cowards—

—Gu He’s white-robed form in front of him exploded.

A terrifying wave of energy, filled with destructive power, surged outward violently.

The North Dragon King was closest.

He tried to escape, but it was too late.

After only a few steps, the explosion fully detonated, engulfing him entirely.

Even the South and West Dragon Kings, though they had fled earlier, were both overtaken by the expanding energy blast.

Anything caught by the wave was instantly annihilated.

After Gu He’s self-destruction, the void space around them fell into dead silence.

Even the brilliant purple flames that had once lit up the area vanished without a trace.

"What happened over there?!"

"That energy shockwave was terrifying!"

"And within that wave… there was a furious, wrathful aura!"

Gu He’s self-destruction created a shockwave so immense that it spread across a vast distance—so far, in fact, that even the Ancient Dragon warriors battling in the skies over Dragon Island took notice.

As the roaring tremor echoed out, the warriors of all four Dragon Islands suddenly paused mid-battle, eyes turning to the distant void.

Each of them understood clearly: the true deciding factor of today’s war wasn’t the thousands of Ancient Dragon soldiers fighting here.

It lay with those five who clashed in the distant void.

Once the outcome there was decided, this battlefield’s fate would be sealed as well.

…

Within the distant void, the blast from Gu He’s self-destruction had swept across a massive area.

Then, from the shattered black space, came a thunderous dragon roar—one filled with mad, murderous fury.

“Boom!”

Not long after the roar, a massive dragon claw—dozens of meters in length—crashed out from the broken space.

And then, three colossal dragons—each spanning thousands of meters—burst into view.

Their enormous blood-red eyes radiated intense hatred, locked firmly onto the direction where Gu He had detonated.

These were, of course, the true forms of the Three Dragon Kings.

But at this moment, the condition of all three was extremely wretched.

Their gigantic dragon bodies were soaked in blood that flowed like streams.

Enormous dragon scales, each the size of a grown man, had shattered across their bodies.

Wounds as deep as ravines carved through their flesh, some even exposing stark white bone beneath.

It was obvious they had survived Gu He’s devastating explosion—but the cost had been massive.

The three dragons hovered in the void, radiating an overwhelming dragon might so thick it seemed to shake the heavens and earth themselves.

Their roars of rage thundered like explosions across the broken space and echoed far into the distance.

“Self-destruct? So what? What could he even do to me?”

The North Dragon King, in his dragon form, scoffed with contempt.

But even as he spoke, his crimson eyes turned toward Qingshan, who now stood some distance away.

Qingshan’s heart sank.

Seeing that not even one of the Three Dragon Kings had fallen, he couldn’t help but feel regret over Gu He’s sacrifice.

Yet, despite that, his current condition was far better than any of the three.

And hearing the North Dragon King’s mocking words, Qingshan let out a sudden dragon roar of his own.

His body surged with energy as he transformed—into a Taixu Ancient Dragon just as massive as the Three Dragon Kings.
