Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 275: Chapter 274: What Use Is My Broken Body! (Eighth Update!)

With Su Han’s current speed, connecting to the magic elements of heaven and earth and using them for himself was at least twice as fast as before.

And indeed, as the elderly and others had thought, Su Han’s consumption was almost nonexistent.

“Xumi Ring of the Holy Son…”

In the midst of rushing, Su Han flipped his palm, and a black ring appeared on it.

When he saw this ring in the cave beneath Qingyang Ancient City, Su Han felt it was somewhat familiar but, due to the urgency at that time, he couldn’t remember what it exactly was.

At this moment, he finally remembered.

...

It was the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, one of the three Supreme Treasures of the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons.

This item was refined by the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons from the early stages of cultivation. The Ancient Emperor himself was an Artifact Refiner, as well as an Alchemist, capable of refining various pills and items.

As time passed and with the increasing might of the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons’s cultivation base, he improved and strengthened the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son step by step. Eventually, it became a Supreme Treasure coveted by the mighty in the entire Holy Domain.

The item had three uses.

The first function allowed it to store living beings according to the owner’s cultivation base.

Humans, demon beasts, plants, etc., all could be stored inside it.

The second function was to accelerate or slow down time, depending on the owner’s cultivation base.

The third function, also based on the owner’s cultivation base, was to create worlds!

The first function seemed not very useful, but in reality, it laid the foundation for the other two functions.

Time acceleration, creation of worlds…

Just imagine having twice the cultivation speed of others—how terrifying would that be?

What about three times? Or even four times?

This was the simplest explanation, and quite clear. It was exactly what the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons had said to Su Han, and everyone in the Holy Domain knew it as well.

Additionally, one could not only accelerate time but also decelerate it.

Compared to accelerating time, decelerating time was more important to the mighty in the Holy Domain.

There were many mighty beings on the verge of breakthroughs yet were close to the end of their lifespans. Even on the brink of breakthrough, they would fail to achieve it before death.

The time deceleration of the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son could significantly increase their chances of making a breakthrough!

If there was only one day left in the outside world, then inside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, there could be two days, three days, or even five days, ten days…

Dozens or even hundreds of times deceleration of time!

In such a case, those mighty beings would have time for their breakthroughs and once they succeeded, their lifespans would increase sharply, and so would their strength.

In his previous life, Su Han knew that countless mighty beings had sought the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons. Even if they didn’t need it immediately, they would try their best to curry favor.

Even if not for the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son itself, it was worth it for the person of the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, because he was a Great Magic God and also a top-grade Artifact Refiner and Pill Master.

Taking all this into account, it could be said that the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons was definitely one of the wealthiest individuals in the entire Holy Domain.

Su Han was also wealthy, but he was the Sovereign of the Holy Domain, the Master of the God-Slaying Pavilion; his possessions could not be said to be entirely his own.

But it was different for the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons; he was a Loose Cultivator, and all his items belonged solely to himself!

As for the last function, world creation, many mighty beings in the Holy Domain could achieve this. It wasn’t considered strong but also definitely not weak.

At the very least, for Su Han at that moment, it certainly had a very significant use.

“To think that it is the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son…”

Su Han took a deep breath, “Although this item is a Supreme Treasure, relative to others, it’s somewhat of a chicken rib.”

Indeed, it was a chicken rib.

Because the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons was once a Seven Elements Magus, in order for others to gain the right to use the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, the Ancient Emperor had to die first, and his Divine Sense had to dissipate.

Apart from this, one must possess the Seven Elements Magic, and this magic must be akin to the attributes of the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons!

Just this point alone dispelled the desire of others to seize it.

Perhaps snatching the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son is simple, but having Seven Elements Magic is truly as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

To offend the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, the Seven Elements Grand Magus, over an object of no use to oneself, is simply not worth it.

“Old man, are you… really dead?” Su Han muttered.

He was now an All-System Mage and naturally met the requirements of the Seven Elements Mage set by the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons. He immediately extended his Divine Sense and let it fall upon the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

As it descended, Su Han’s body trembled slightly.

Because he was afraid, afraid that his Divine Sense could truly merge with the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

If it truly merged, it would mean… the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons was indeed dead.

Ever since entering the Demon God World, Su Han had always harbored doubts, but they had been just doubts after all.

Now, with the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son in his possession, one of the three Supreme Treasures of the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, he had the best means to confirm whether the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons was dead or alive.

As far as Su Han himself was concerned, even though the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son was precious, he would rather not have it.

Now, there were few things that could scare Su Han, and the life or death of the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons was one of them.

“Old man, stay strong…”

Su Han took a deep breath, his expression somewhat tense.

“Pavilion Master, what’s wrong?”

Lian Yuze and the others were somewhat surprised; since getting to know Su Han, this was the first time they had seen him so nervous.

Even when he had been surrounded and nearly died in the Abyss Prison just before, Su Han did not show any signs of nervousness.

“It’s nothing.” Su Han shook his head.

“Hum~”

As the Divine Sense landed on the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, the latter immediately buzzed and erupted in a burst of intense black light.

That black light, upon making contact with Su Han’s Divine Sense, seemed to repel it slightly.

“Not dead?”

Upon feeling the repulsion, Su Han’s eyes brightened.

But in the next instant, that repulsion swiftly disappeared, and Su Han’s Divine Sense nearly fused directly with the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son!

Su Han was stunned, standing motionless on the spot, at a loss.

He had thought that the black light’s rejection of his Divine Sense was because the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons was still alive. Now it appeared… it was merely an instinctive repulsion for an instant.

Through the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, his Divine Sense saw everything within.

It was pitch-black as if reflecting the original state of the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

The Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons was dead, all the worlds that he opened up had vanished, and everything within this world had also collapsed, turning into nothingness.

Now, the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son was indeed just a primal-state Supreme Treasure.

“Damn it!!!”

Su Han suddenly roared towards the sky.

He felt no excitement in acquiring the Supreme Treasure; from head to toe, only a cold chill emanated from him.

Lian Yuze and the others were startled, involuntarily taking a step back.

“Those who betray me, if I don’t extinguish you all, what use have I for this crippled body!!!”

His earth-shattering roar, like thunder, echoed in all directions.
