Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 547: Chapter 544 Excitement!

”From today onwards, the Ruyi Sect will no longer revolt, but it must disband, and Sect Master Gu and Gu Yunlei shall have no further grievances with my Phoenix Sect, thus ending this slaughter.”

Su Han’s gaze swept over the Phoenix Sect disciples as he spoke softly.

In this battle, about five hundred disciples of the Phoenix Sect perished, around one hundred and thirty were seriously injured, and more than three thousand sustained minor injuries.

Although they had annihilated two hundred thousand people from the Ruyi Sect, the disciples of the Phoenix Sect were still too few in number. Even with strength that surpassed the disciples of the Ruyi Sect, within this discrepancy of cultivation strength, the Ruyi Sect’s tactic of overwhelming numbers still had its effectiveness.

Continuing the slaughter would only lead to more casualties, and besides, the people of the Ruyi Sect had already shown signs of remorse. Most importantly, with such a calamity at hand, cultivators shouldn’t continue this kind of fratricide.

”Yes!”

The Phoenix Sect disciples all took a deep breath and responded.

On the side of the Ruyi Sect, they too breathed a sigh of relief, and many disciples fell silent.

The Primordial Spirit of Gu Qingtian expressed a bitter sentiment, for although he had not died, the legacy of the Ruyi Sect that had been passed down for so many years had ultimately been destroyed by his own hands.

”Father.”

Gu Yunlei spoke, offering comfort, ”In the future, we will diligently cultivate and shine brightly in this calamity. Once it passes, a second Ruyi Sect can emerge.”

Upon hearing these words, Gu Qingtian was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Yunlei with a smile.

”You are indeed your father’s greatest achievement.”

With a single moment of enlightenment, a lifetime of remorse followed.

These words referred to none other than Gu Yunlei.

Meanwhile, Su Han had taken the Sect Order of the Ruyi Sect and departed with the Phoenix Sect disciples.

Su Han had originally intended to plunder the treasure vault of the Ruyi Sect, but after some thought, he ultimately left it for Gu Qingtian and Gu Yunlei.

After the Phoenix Sect had departed, and in light of the dissolution of the Ruyi Sect, coupled with the guilt in their hearts, Gu Qingtian and Gu Yunlei took out all the items from the treasure vault of the Ruyi Sect, including Spirit Stones, and distributed them to the remaining Ruyi Sect disciples.

They did this to lessen some of the guilt in their hearts.

They did this to reduce some of the disappointment felt by the former disciples of the Ruyi Sect.

...

Half a month later.

In the Phoenix Sect’s sect residence, within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

This was the space within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, but it was also a world unto itself.

It contained mountains and rivers, as well as vast seas.

In a certain small valley, there was a simple thatched hut, and at this moment, Su Han was sitting cross-legged inside this hut.

”I remember the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons once sealed his nine Demon Guards within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son; it must be that my strength is insufficient, as I cannot even sense their presence, let alone summon them,” Su Han murmured to himself.

The Demon Guards of the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons were all Great Monsters of Heaven and Earth, possessing overwhelming strength.

Either saved by the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons or forcibly subdued by him.

There were nine Demon Guards in total, once fiercely loyal to the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons.

After a brief contemplation, Su Han took out a Blood Crystal with a flip of his hand.

This Blood Crystal was the smallest, merely the size of those whose Cultivation Base was comparable to the Dragon Vein Realm, or the Extraterritorial Demons at the Demon Disciple Level as per the Cultivation Realm hierarchy in Di Luo’s memory.

After looking for a moment, Su Han suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

”Whoosh!”

After swallowing, Su Han immediately introspected and saw that the Blood Crystal transformed into a cloud of Blood Mist with a whoosh. This Blood Mist rapidly integrated into all the meridians and flesh within Su Han’s body. Even more, a hint of green light emerged, just like the color of the Extraterritorial Demons’ blood.

The green light did not merge with the meridians or the flesh. Instead, as soon as it appeared, it vanished without a trace.

But Su Han’s body trembled slightly, his eyes immediately revealing a bright light.

”That Blood Mist, it indeed increased my vitality. I can feel it; my body has become slightly stronger. Although the change is very subtle, it is definitely stronger.”

”As for that strand of green light, it didn’t fail to merge; instead, it integrated into my heart and spirit, into my soul!”

”This strand of green light... has increased my lifespan by one day!”

Su Han took a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Although such a Blood Crystal could only add one day to one’s lifespan, which is much less compared to the Holy Blue Flower that can directly add a hundred years, the difference is quite significant.

But...

How many Holy Blue Flowers are there? And how many Blood Crystals like this?

In Su Han’s hands, there are a total of two hundred thousand Blood Crystals like this!

Even if each Blood Crystal could only add one day to his lifespan, then two hundred thousand Blood Crystals would increase his lifespan by two hundred thousand days!

Two hundred thousand days, what kind of concept is that?

Converted, that is... 547 years!

On the Dragon Martial Continent, those in the Dragon Vein Realm live only slightly longer than ordinary people, roughly around one hundred and twenty years, while those in the Dragon Blood Realm have about two hundred years, Dragon Spirit Realm roughly three hundred years, Dragon Pill Realm around five hundred years, Dragon God Realm, a thousand years...

The further one progresses, the higher their Cultivation Base, the longer their lifespan.

Someone in the Dragon Emperor Realm can live at least five thousand years, while those in the Dragon Venerate Realm can live as long as ten thousand years.

As for Su Han in his previous life, he lived for tens of millions, even billions of years. After breaking through to the Sovereign Realm, if not for deviating into madness, Su Han’s lifespan would have reached a terrifying tens of billions of years!

And at this moment, Su Han’s Cultivation Base was in the Dragon Pill Realm, but he was much stronger than an ordinary person of the same realm. Moreover, he had cultivated magic and possessed Magic Cultivation; his lifespan was even longer than that of someone in the regular Dragon God Realm. According to Su Han’s estimate, it was about two thousand years.

These Blood Crystals in front of him... would increase his lifespan by at least a quarter!

Moreover, this calculation was merely based on the Blood Crystals being of the Demon Disciple Level. Among these two hundred thousand Blood Crystals, the ones at the Demon Disciple Level were the most numerous, about one hundred thousand. Among the remaining hundred thousand, there were Demon Stars, Demon Spirits, Demon Infants, and so on, which would increase Su Han’s vitality and lifespan even more!

Among them, there was even a Blood Crystal from the Demon God Di Luo, comparable to the Pseudo-Emperor Realm.

Thinking of this, Su Han couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

”The total lifespan added by all these Blood Crystals is, I fear, more than my current lifespan.”

Su Han’s eyes shimmered, a touch of excitement rising in his heart.

”With my current Cultivation Base, I can only fight against the ordinary Pseudo-Emperor Realm at most, unless I can break through to the Dragon God Realm, or my Magic Cultivation can reach the level of a Sixth Order Great Archmage, only then can I slay someone like Duan Yunshan who is in the Pseudo-Emperor Realm. And to fight against someone like the Eastern Ancestor in the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, a significant breakthrough is needed.”

This significant breakthrough, in Su Han’s view, was the full convergence of the Nine Origin Primordial Spirits, or alternatively, Mage Cultivation breaking through to the Seventh-Order Grand Archmage!

Either would be extremely difficult.

”But now...”

”With these lifespans, I can use those secret techniques that forcibly consume lifespan!”
