Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 686: Chapter 684 Another Use of the Divine Stone

”Boom!!!”

With Su Han’s final step, his figure surged forward fiercely.

But before he could reach a hundred meters, an indescribable, earth-shattering obstructing force struck him suddenly from the front.

This feeling was like a small boat struggling forward in a sea with towering waves.

With this step, Su Han merely covered thirty meters, but his foot did not land. Even with such a powerful obstructing force, Su Han’s final step would not be limited to just thirty meters.

His target was a hundred meters!

”Puh!”

A mouthful of fresh blood suddenly spurted out. The surrounding obstructing forces seemed to form a pressure that wrapped around Su Han without crushing him.

The nearly twenty pieces of Purple Gold Level clothing left on his body exploded into almost ten at this moment. Meanwhile, Su Han’s complexion grew increasingly pale due to the power of the rebound.

”I will step over this threshold, who can stop me!!”

Su Han suddenly raised his head, his expression icy cold, a roar echoing out that shook the Five Great Powers who had already crossed a quarter of the distance and were nearing the Sage’s Bones!

”This Su Baliu, be it in Cultivation Base, strength, Soul Power, or courage, is indeed a World-Class Prodigy. Although he is merely a Sect Master, he is not old. If he were cultivated by our Super Sects, he would surely be an existence like a Freak,”

Bu Zheng of the Sect of the Battle God narrowed his eyes and murmured, ”What a pity, he chose the wrong path.”

”No matter what, that Supreme Treasure must be ours, Su Baliu... must die!!!” Ji Mingkong’s eyes were blood-red, as if driven by envy.

They broke through the obstructing force and dashed forward quickly, looking as though they would soon catch up with Liuyun and the others.

At this moment, as the first line of defense, Shangguan Mingxin was ready to launch, staring fixedly at the Five Great Powers with a deadly intent in her eyes.

”Boom!”

Just then, a massive roar came from the sky. Everyone turned to look, only to see Su Han’s step had reached halfway, covering fifty meters!

In front of him now remained only fifty meters!!!

But everyone knew that these fifty meters would be the toughest, and although no Heavenly Tribulation had appeared yet, the intense pressure was lingering in everyone’s hearts.

As they looked up, the vortex began to spin, picking up speed, and eventually, a finger emerged from it.

This finger was no longer an Illusion, nor was it semi-illusory, but... truly solid.

At a glance, it was entirely a finger, but too large, a hundred meters long, with flesh and blood clearly visible, so much so that the veins looked like ravines due to its size.

This finger, filled with an ancient and weathered air, appeared and caused the Thunder Pillar enveloping Su Han to collapse with a boom.

It was as if now that Su Han had reached this point, the Thunder Pillar had lost its purpose and was starting to disappear.

Su Han’s pupils contracted. He had anticipated that this final finger would be completely solid, but he hadn’t expected it to contain such formidable pressure.

This pressure was something he had never seen before, not even in his past life.

Different from the pressure emitted by Cultivators, at this moment Su Han’s misconceptions were dispelled; he could sense that the finger before him was definitely not human!

”No matter who you are, once Su has taken this step, there’s no thought of retreating!”

As the finger was about to completely extend, Su Han took another step forward, his figure reaching the 970 meters mark.

This step towards the heavens made the wind and clouds lose their color, and the world itself change hue!

Perhaps it was because of Su Han’s stride that the slowly gathering finger suddenly quickened its pace, not only completely solidifying but also fiercely extending out of the vortex!

As it reached out, it pointed directly at Su Han!

”Boom!!!”

Before it even touched him, the remnants of Su Han’s Upper-Grade Purple Gold Level clothing were completely shattered.

Su Han had no time to lament, as he waved his hand and took out a Divine Stone, swallowing it in one gulp.

And as he swallowed the Divine Stone, the finger made contact with his body.

A thunderous roar shook the heavens, and in that instant, Su Han’s figure plummeted onto the surface of the void with a bang.

It was a fall, not a retreat.

One could hear a series of cracking sounds coming from Su Han’s body; those were the sounds of bones breaking.

Su Han’s body appeared to have completely deformed at this moment, his right leg still extended, but his left leg, along with his body, lay flat on the ground, twisted in a grotesque manner.

”Sect Master!”

Liuyun and the others all saw this scene and tensed up, their faces filled with anxiety.

Though they were not Su Han, they could imagine the excruciating pain that Su Han must be enduring at that moment.

No pill could instantaneously heal a person’s injuries, and even though Su Han kept swallowing pills, everyone knew the agony and torment he was undergoing was beyond imagination.

”I clearly saw the Sect Master swallow a Divine Stone, so why isn’t it having any effect?” Hong Chen frowned deeply, worry evident on his face.

He was right in saying that Su Han did swallow a Divine Stone, but it wasn’t without effect.

At this moment, Su Han only felt as if there were streams of water flowing through his body, and with each flow, his bones would slightly heal, helping him to stand up a little.

”So that’s how it is...”

Amidst gritting his teeth, Su Han thought to himself, ”I had guessed that the Divine Stone couldn’t completely block the Heavenly Tribulation, but I didn’t expect that at this critical moment, the Divine Stone would also have a healing effect! Moreover, this effect is far stronger than those Upper-Grade Purple Gold Level pills!”

Thinking this, Su Han suddenly wanted to meet the person who had refined the Divine Stone, and he also understood why swallowing a Divine Stone would block a fatal strike from an enemy.

Perhaps others couldn’t see it, but Su Han, as a Grandmaster of Pill Refining and Artifact Refining, immediately realized that the Divine Stone was instantaneously healing all injuries of the person being struck the moment they were hit!

This instant was so fast, it was to the extreme; even the person swallowing it couldn’t feel it, which is why they would think that the Divine Stone had blocked the fatal strike.

In reality, it was not blocking but healing the fatal strike!

Just on this point alone, the person who refined the Divine Stone could likely claim a position among the pinnacle Artifact Refiners of the Dragon Martial Continent, and although perhaps not quite reaching the level of Artifact Refining Master, the difference was negligible.

Moreover, the Divine Stone’s effect coexisting with that of pills had already proven that this person possessed extreme talent in Pill Refining, and if Su Han could recruit them to the Phoenix Sect, it would undoubtedly mean gaining another future master capable of both Artifact Refining and Pill Refining!

However, at this moment, Su Han had no time to think about these things. Feeling the effect of the Divine Stone, he did not hesitate and took out ten Divine Stones all at once and swallowed them.

”Hum~”

When these Divine Stones were completely swallowed, a humming sound emanated from Su Han’s body, his injuries fully healed, his bones reknitted, his flesh no longer disintegrating, his figure... was slowly rising!

This rising was not an ordinary one; it was under the pressing force of the finger that he was forcibly pushing against it, inching up little by little!
