Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 523: Chapter 520: Battle!

In his imagination, the scene where corpses were piled like mountains did not occur.

What appeared were severed limbs and body parts.

Not a single person had an intact corpse; under the sweeping and grinding of the sword array, no flesh could endure till the end.

Even the members from both sects could see that, apart from the incomplete bodies on the ground, there were various remnants scattered about.

These were clearly the remnants of various weapons, pieces of defensive equipment, and lifesaving maneuvers.

At this moment, all these items were shattered, indiscernible in rank or type—one could only feel that their spiritual essence had completely vanished.

”Phoenix Sect!!!”

The young man suddenly raised his head, his eyes blood-red as he looked toward Shangguan Mingxin and the others.

”You’re pushing people too far!!!”

”If you were me a few months ago, you would feel that these people’s deaths are still not enough,” Shangguan Mingxin spoke gently.

In the past, before her family was destroyed, facing such a scene, she would have never borne it.

But from the moment her family was destroyed, the compassion in her heart turned to coldness.

It was not a coldness devoid of emotion; it was precisely because of her emotions that she became cold.

Back then, she hid in the dark, her entire body sealed by her parents, making the Han Family and the Qilin Daoist Temple unaware of her presence.

She witnessed with her own eyes as over a thousand members of the Shangguan Clan—old and young, children and women—were slain.

The cultivators from the Shangguan Clan fought and died in battle; the elders and children of the Shangguan Clan were all mercilessly slaughtered.

That massacre, even six years later, remains vivid in Shangguan Mingxin’s memory.

Since then, she had learned cruelty and understood that in this cultivator-supreme world of the Dragon Martial Continent, without power, everything is an illusion!

And many disciples of the Phoenix Sect were likewise without a shred of mercy.

Their expressions were cold, their bodies radiating murderous intent.

From the moment they joined the God-Slaying Pavilion, through countless battles and sect annihilations, from the Blood Demon Sect to the Sect of True Martial Arts, and then to the Flowing Snow Sect, up until... the entire God-Slaying Pavilion almost got annihilated by the coalition of the super sects.

And they had all died once!

Facing the strong, that sense of powerlessness, to this day, still remains etched in their hearts.

Even though there wasn’t much enmity between Ruyi Sect and Phoenix Sect, and though they hadn’t even seen a disciple from Ruyi Sect face to face, they knew that this battle was inevitable.

Because the Ruyi Sect had already betrayed them!

This kind of betrayal in the Dragon Martial Continent, amid this calamity, triggered a bloody slaughter.

If these disciples are not killed now, if the Ruyi Sect is not annihilated, then sooner or later, the Phoenix Sect will face an attack from the Ruyi Sect!

This is war, and that’s the reason!

The baptism of battle after battle has taught the disciples of the Phoenix Sect to be mercilessly cold, letting them know that if the enemy does not die, then the dead will inevitably be themselves!

War, in fact, has never had a reason.

It’s hard to say who is right or wrong. If forced to distinguish right from wrong, one could only say that when paths diverge, joint aspirations cannot be achieved, much like the betrayal of the Ruyi Sect.

”The Seventh Army, the Eighth Army, annihilate the Pinnacle Disciples of the Ruyi Sect!”

Shangguan Mingxin looked at the young man, her expression icy as she commanded, ”Starry Divine Guard, with the power of the Sword Array, wipe out all from Ruyi Sect!”

”Wishful thinking!!!”

The young man gritted his teeth and roared, ”Disciples of the Ruyi Sect, five thousand to assist, led primarily by those with at least three Ruyi Seals, manifest the Ruyi Heaven Seal with our Ruyi Sect’s Dragon Fusion Art!”

Many disciples behind him, already with blood-red eyes, could no longer suppress the resentment and killing intent in their hearts.

Upon hearing the young man’s words, they immediately sat down cross-legged, Dragon Power bursting forth from within them.

No matter their Cultivation Base, the five thousand were grouped together.

At that moment, precisely eight individuals burst forth from the forty-five thousand pinnacle disciples of the Ruyi Sect.

Among these eight, three were at the Dragon God Realm Early Stage like the young man, while the remaining five were at the Dragon Pill Realm Peak.

They utilized their leaping power to momentarily stay in the void, standing alongside the young man, arrayed in formation.

Above their heads, each one had a great vortex emerging.

Under those vortices, the void collapsed, and the torrential Dragon Power was drawn out from the five thousand behind each of them, all pouring into their bodies!

Under this influx, the Cultivation Base of these nine young men surged dramatically!

Including the young man, a total of four were at the Dragon God Realm Early Stage. At this moment, after absorbing the Dragon Power, they soared directly to the Dragon God Realm Early Peak, and immediately broke through again!

Dragon God Realm Mid Stage, Dragon God Realm Mid Peak, Dragon God Realm Later Stage... Dragon God Realm Peak!!!

”Boom, boom, boom, boom~”

The four individuals’ clothing fluttered, their eyes suddenly wide open, bursting with a heaven-shocking aura.

Following them, another five auras erupted—that was the five Dragon Pill Realm Peak Pinnacle Disciples who, at this moment, broke through to the Dragon God Realm Later Stage!

A total of nine individuals, four at Dragon God Realm Peak, five at Dragon God Realm Later Stage, their immense pressure so vast that the surrounding void at this moment thunderously turned to naught.

”With the power of us nine, condense, Three Gods Ruyi Seal appear!!!” the young man roared again, his voice somewhat hoarse, as if his throat was about to be torn apart.

These nine individuals absorbed the Dragon Power from forty-five thousand people, and while imprinting with their hands, they transformed this Dragon Power again, and struck towards the void!

Under this thunderous sound, the void was suddenly torn apart, a massive crack split open like ragged cloth, torn into two.

From that crack, astonishing light flickered, and as the crack was completely torn open, a Ruyi Seal filled with three types of light emerged between heaven and earth.

The oppressive power surged from above this Ruyi Seal, sweeping directly towards Shangguan Mingxin and others, clearly manipulated by the young man and others.

”Phoenix Sect, all of you, will die here today!!!”

The young man’s expression was ferocious, almost insane, ”I swear, after slaughtering the disciples of the Phoenix Sect, I will consume a mouthful of flesh from each of you to sacrifice to our fallen brothers and sisters of the Ruyi Sect in the underworld!”

”Kill this person first!”

Shangguan Mingxin sneered, looking up, she fiercely ordered, ”Dispatch ten Starry Divine Guards, unleash the Power of the Peak to block that Ruyi Seal’s assault, the remaining ninety, group into tens, focusing on eliminating these nine first!”

”Yes!”

The hundred Starry Divine Guards instantly nodded and charged forth.

After their charge, Shangguan Mingxin continued, ”Phoenix Sect’s Seventh Army, Eighth Army, take down the Pinnacle Disciples of the Ruyi Sect, their Dragon Power is depleted, in a weakened state, eliminate them with thunderous methods, no mercy allowed!”
