Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1502: Chapter 1501: Lotus Throne Acquired!

”Perfect...”

Su Han stood in the water, looking upward, seemingly able to see the angry expressions of Chen Zhonghai and the others, as well as their fleeing figures.

”You sure know how to strategize.” The old man’s figure appeared beside Su Han.

Su Han chuckled and didn’t waste words. With a flash of his figure, he grabbed the two lotus seeds from the topmost lotus leaf.

Time was pressing, and he didn’t know when the Rock Shark would return, so he couldn’t delay.

After getting these two lotus seeds, Su Han quickly dove down and grabbed the other two seeds below.

A moment later—

Eighteen lotus seeds entered Su Han’s Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

The lotus seeds were completely black, round, and full, exuding rich Spiritual Energy, obviously not ordinary items.

”Even if I sold these lotus seeds for two hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, someone would probably buy them, right?” Su Han murmured.

”Stop talking nonsense, you’ve got the lotus seeds, now hurry and get me that Lotus Throne!” the old man urged impatiently.

Su Han nodded and moved to the Lotus Throne.

The Lotus Throne was over thirty meters in diameter, its sparkling and translucent appearance almost inviting a bite.

Its roots were embedded in the true ground of the lake bottom. After observing for a while, Su Han took a deep breath, unleashing the Power of the Peak as the other Eight Great True Selves emerged to surround the entire Lotus Throne.

”Lift!!”

Su Han roared, and the faces of the Nine Great True Selves all turned red, veins bulging, as they strained as if about to explode.

The roots of the Nine-Heart Lotus were deeply embedded in the ground, and being underwater, Su Han’s strength was suppressed. Thus, trying to pull it out was extremely difficult.

However, it was after all just a Spiritual Medicine and couldn’t resist.

”Boom!”

Moments later, the roots of the Lotus Throne finally showed signs of loosening.

”Splash!”

Just then, a massive torrent of water surged from above as two pitch-black eyes came into view.

”Not good!”

Su Han’s face changed drastically; he recognized it at once—it was that Rock Shark!!!

”How did it return so quickly? The water’s surface is a full seventeen thousand zhang away from here!”

”Hurry, hurry up!”

Seeing the Rock Shark’s return, the old man’s face didn’t change, and he immediately urged.

Without another word, Su Han exerted all his strength, though the Lotus Throne remained unbudged, the loosened part grew significantly.

”Hurry!” the old man was so anxious he was hopping mad.

In just moments, Su Han would have been able to pull the Lotus Throne out. However, the Rock Shark had returned.

”Boom!”

Clearly, the Rock Shark saw Su Han pulling the Lotus Throne, and the pressure of a Third-Grade Spirit Beast burst forth, stirring the water and blasting toward Su Han.

Its massive figure flashed rapidly through the water, moving at a terrifying speed.

”Faster, faster!!!” the old man urged, face flushed with anxiety.

”Faster, my ass!”

Su Han shouted impatiently, ”I’m giving it my all, damn it! If you’re so capable, come do it yourself!”

”Two million! I’ll give you two million Spirit Crystals and owe you a favor!” the old man suddenly offered.

He could see that Su Han was truly trying his best, but just couldn’t manage to pull it out. What could be done?

”Really?”

Su Han’s eyes lit up.

”Really!” the old man nodded solemnly.

...

”Human potential truly is limitless.”

”Money makes the mare go...”

This was a phrase the old man later recalled and sighed about.

After this, the old man added another sentence—”That little bastard was ripping me off for Spirit Crystals!!!”

... 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

The Rock Shark was almost upon them when Su Han, with a wave of his hand, made Blazing Wine appear, which he promptly drank.

Clearly, the effects of the previous Blazing Wine had worn off, but upon drinking it again, his aura and strength surged immensely!

”Crack!”

The Lotus Throne’s roots were forcibly snapped by Su Han, and the massive Lotus Throne was slowly lifted by Su Han’s Nine Great True Selves.

”Splash!”

The Ultimate Night of the Divine Blade appeared, and with one chop, Su Han severed the main trunk of the Nine-Heart Lotus.

In Su Han’s words, since the Rock Shark had guarded this Nine-Heart Lotus for so long, it should be left with something, right?

In reality, with Su Han’s ability—or rather, in the current timeframe—it wasn’t enough for him to store the entire trunk in the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

So, Su Han cut off the trunk, and with the Nine Great True Selves carrying the Lotus Throne, vanished in an instant!

”Boom!”

Just as Su Han disappeared, a massive tail swept the spot where he had been.

If Su Han had been even a fraction of a second later, he would have been hit by that tail.

Being hit would mean being crushed by a Rock Shark possessing power comparable to the Fourth Grade Spirit Transformation Realm, with the Nine Great True Selves utterly collapsing.

Total annihilation wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

However, the final result was fortunate; Su Han had entered the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, gasping for breath.

”Roar!!!”

Outside, the furious roar of the Rock Shark could be heard.

Its massive figure continuously swimming back and forth, each movement causing trembling waves and earthshattering cracks.

Cracks appeared across the ground, leaving the area in ruins from its wrath.

In the end, the Rock Shark had to concede that the lotus seeds and the Lotus Throne had been stolen by that damned human.

All that remained was the main trunk of the Nine-Heart Lotus...

This Rock Shark had originally been a Second Grade Spirit Beast; it had absorbed the Spiritual Energy released by the Nine-Heart Lotus over ten thousand years to reach its current Cultivation Base.

This is exactly why it had never been able to bring itself to devour the Nine-Heart Lotus.

Because as long as the Nine-Heart Lotus existed, its Cultivation Base could continue to increase gradually.

Otherwise, given the fully mature state of the Nine-Heart Lotus, it would have long been consumed by the Rock Shark.

But who would have thought, one day a damned human would appear and steal the Nine-Heart Lotus it had guarded for over ten thousand years!!!

Now it was left with just the trunk, and with the Lotus Throne stolen, the trunk wouldn’t survive much longer.

After leaving the area in ruins, the Rock Shark opened its massive mouth and swallowed the trunk whole!

...

Inside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, Su Han looked at the furious Rock Shark and, after a moment of silence, said to the old man: ”Was I being a bit excessive?”

”Stop pretending. With your cunning, not to mention stealing its Nine-Heart Lotus, even if you killed it, you wouldn’t feel excessive!” the old man snorted.

Su Han smiled awkwardly: ”You saw right through me.”

”Just a hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Crystals, what I said earlier is canceled!”

The old man continued: ”You clearly had other methods but didn’t employ them, you only used them after I upped the price, were you deliberately ripping off my Spirit Crystals?”

Su Han immediately stood up, glaring: ”That’s going too far! I almost died helping you steal this Lotus Throne, and now you want to burn bridges? Do you even know how much that Blazing Wine cost me? Let me tell you, if you weren’t an honest person, I wouldn’t have done it for even an extra five million, let alone fifty thousand more!”

”Stop trying to twist things, just one hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Crystals!” the old man retorted.

”Oh, that’s how you’re going to play it?”

Su Han pointed at the Lotus Throne, snorting coldly: ”This Lotus Throne, two hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Crystals, plus a favor, take it or leave it!”

The old man: ”...”
