Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 204: Chapter 202 Dragon and Phoenix

It was not only Liuyun who was making breakthroughs, but others were as well.

Even the Holy Cold Divine Guard, which was the most difficult to cultivate, had achieved tremendous success over this half-year.

The most delightful news was about Shen Li, who had already broken through to the Dragon God Realm!

Half a year ago, Shen Li was just at the Early Stage of the Dragon Pill Realm. It was truly beyond Su Han’s imagination how he could have cultivated so rapidly.

Having lived nearly a hundred million years and seen much of the world, Su Han still could not discern what kind of constitution Shen Li possessed.

After the breakthrough, Shen Li also became the first in the God-Slaying Pavilion to reach the Dragon God Realm!

Following him, Su Yunming, working hard to catch up, had also made a breakthrough to the Early Stage of the Dragon God Realm.

Originally at the Peak of the Dragon Pill Realm six months ago, Su Yunming’s talent, however, fell far short of Shen Li’s.

Thus, the God-Slaying Pavilion now had two members in the Dragon God Realm.

If only one more person could advance to the Mid Stage of the Dragon God Realm, then the God-Slaying Pavilion could ascend to the rank of an Eighth-Rate Sect!

Following Shen Li and Su Yunming, Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran were also hot on their heels, both reaching the Peak of the Dragon Pill Realm.

It was mainly their high talent, coupled with astonishing resources, that had forcibly elevated them to their current state.

Half a year ago, Xiao Yuhui was merely at the Late Stage of the Dragon Blood Realm, and Xiao Yuran was at the Early Stage of the Dragon Spirit Realm.

However, Yuran, with her unique constitution, cultivated slowly and was caught up by Yuhui.

Their ascent to the Dragon God Realm would be smooth, and Su Han had no worries at all.

…

“But these resources are being consumed too quickly!”

After asking Lian Yuze how much funds the God-Slaying Pavilion had left, Yu Ze, somewhat embarrassed, informed Su Han that there were only about 70 billion Gold Coins left…

In half a year, a whopping 310 billion had been spent!

All these Gold Coins were used to purchase Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Stones, and Pills, among other things.

Although Su Han was capable of Alchemy, he simply did not have the time to spend on it.

Moreover, during this half-year, disciples of the God-Slaying Pavilion continuously transported resources from those resource-rich lands, but all were still consumed.

Essentially, the entire God-Slaying Pavilion had spent nearly 400 billion Gold Coins in this half-year!

At this rate, they would quickly deplete all resources and likely run into a deficit.

Even if Su Han devoted himself to Alchemy, he could not keep up with this consumption.

The only solution now was to expand the achievements and continue to encroach on the resource lands of other Sects.

Additionally, the God-Slaying Pavilion could, upon ascending to the status of an Eighth-Rate Sect, compel ten Ninth-Rate Sects under it to hand over resources, which is the basic survival strategy for any large Sect.

“It seems that we have no choice but to seize the Demon Crystal Stone Vein from the Flowing Snow Sect!”

Su Han shook his head helplessly, then immediately went to the Martial Training Field and took out a few Spirit Stones.

“Bang! Bang!”

He directly crushed the Spirit Stones, which transformed into Spiritual Power, drifting into the atmosphere.

With a sweep of his hand, Su Han immediately gathered the Spiritual Energy back together.

Simultaneously, Su Han took out three blank scrolls, hung them above the Martial Training Field, then grabbed a Spirit Stone as if he were using a brush dipped in ink, continuously dotting it on the scrolls.

Many disciples of the God-Slaying Pavilion who saw Su Han arriving immediately came over, planning to greet him.

“Shh, keep your voices low, don’t disturb the Pavilion Master.” Lian Yuze quickly gestured.

Seeing this, many disciples of the God-Slaying Pavilion shrunk their necks and hurriedly shut their mouths.

“Aoo!!!”

Just at that moment, a shocking dragon’s roar suddenly erupted from those scrolls.

All the disciples were stunned, for the dragon’s roar was real, as if there was indeed a Giant Dragon dancing between heaven and earth.

They stared in disbelief, their eyes wide open as they looked at the scroll in front of Su Han.

On the scroll, an ice-blue dragon had been depicted, its spiritual energy intangible and colorless, yet Su Han had used this ethereal spiritual energy to paint an ice-blue dragon!

The dragon appeared vivid and lifelike, leaving everyone in awe.

Since ancient times, no one had seen a giant dragon; it seemed to have become merely a legend.

The disciples of the God-Slaying Pavilion didn’t believe this dragon was real, but whenever they looked at it, they felt as if they were getting sucked into it.

On the scroll, the dragon was only half a meter in size, yet in their eyes, it seemed as if the whole world had disappeared, leaving only a giant dragon soaring mightily before them.

“What is this?”

“Is it really a giant dragon? Could the Pavilion Master have seen a giant dragon?”

“I feel like I’m getting lost.”

Many disciples quickly blinked, trying hard not to look.

Little did they know, Su Han had not merely seen a giant dragon.

In his previous life, Su Han had subdued the ages, even the clan of giant dragons had to bow down before him!

Soon, the giant dragon was completely drawn, but those disciples of the God-Slaying Pavilion always felt something was different.

The dragon was very majestic, but whenever they looked at it, it made them feel a bit uncomfortable, as if… as if something was missing from it!

“It’s the eyes!”

Finally, someone spotted what was different.

Indeed, it was the eyes.

Su Han had drawn the eyes of the dragon but hadn’t added the pupils, which meant the so-called eyeballs.

A dragon without eyes is also without spirit.

“Not bad.”

Su Han looked at the person who had pointed out the flaw and smiled, “Your talent is quite good, for you could discern the difference in this dragon.”

Hearing this, the young man chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his head, a bit unused to being praised by Su Han in front of so many people.

After Su Han spoke, he turned his head again and continued with the second painting.

This second painting depicted a phoenix.

The phoenix’s feathers displayed the nine-colored hue, strikingly radiant as if enveloped in divine rosy clouds, intoxicating to behold.

Just like the giant dragon, the phoenix was only a painting, but to the onlookers, it seemed as though a nine-colored divine phoenix was soaring right in front of them.

“Wow~”

A sharp screeching sound emanated from the painting, shaking the entire God-Slaying Pavilion and attracting even more spectators.

In the end, whether they were in seclusion or out of seclusion, everyone gathered in the square, focusing intently on Su Han’s painting.

“Now look, what is different about this phoenix?” Su Han asked, smiling.

“The Phoenix Crown is missing.”

Shen Li walked over.

Su Han’s eyes lit up, very satisfied.

These people might not have seen a giant dragon, but on the Dragon Martial Continent, every household revered the dragon as a symbol of good fortune and had paintings of dragons.

However, the phoenix was different; not many had seen a painting of a phoenix, and the Phoenix Crown was very small, almost unnoticeable, and with Su Han’s high cultivation base, few could detect it.

But Shen Li directly pointed it out, showing the high level of his cultivation.

“It is the Phoenix Crown.”

Su Han nodded with a smile, grasped the last bit of spiritual energy in his hand, and finally, placed it on the third painting.
