Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 878: Chapter 877: Origin Barrier

”I save your ass!”

Liuu Tianyuan reacted, rolling his eyes fiercely, though no one could see.

”Logically speaking, regardless of Cultivation Base, the two of us are now Remnant Souls. I can’t even protect myself, so how can I save you? Since you’ve been reborn here, this place is your territory; you’re the one who should save me!”

”Are you bullshitting me?”

Su Han glared at him, saying, ”Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if you’re just a Remnant Soul, you’re still far stronger than me. Look at what state I’m in now! You think I can save you with some weak mental thoughts? That’s wishful thinking, Elder Brother-in-law.”

”You do understand that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse?”

Liuu Tianyuan snorted coldly, saying, ”If that’s truly the case, then that makes you a demon...”

Midway through speaking, Liuu Tianyuan suddenly remembered Huanglin was also present and immediately said, ”Then you’re the strongest being in the Milky Way, a damn huge camel. How could I compare to you?”

Hearing this, Su Han smirked awkwardly. ”That’s all in the past, you know? I’ve said it already—I’ve been reborn, and I’ve lost everything. I have to start over completely; otherwise, how could I have fallen to this pathetic state?”

”I don’t care, regardless of...”

”Both of you, shut up!!!”

Liuu Tianyuan was about to speak when Huanglin interrupted with a furious roar.

These two guys were chatting away, acting as if he was invisible. Did they really think he was just air?

Huanglin had set both Liuu Tianyuan and Su Han as his targets—a tremendously powerful Remnant Soul and another Remnant Soul, resilient beyond comprehension. If he could devour both, he could immediately escape this place!

”You really think I don’t exist?”

Huanglin let out a cold snort, surprised that Su Han and Liuu Tianyuan actually knew each other.

And that ”Elder Brother-in-law” title... somehow sounded strangely familiar.

”Elder Brother-in-law, you really need to save me...” Su Han pleaded pitifully.

If the people of Dragon Martial Continent saw his expression right now, they would be utterly shocked.

In the eyes of the people on Dragon Martial Continent, Su Han had always been cold and heartless, even slightly tyrannical, killing people at the drop of a hat and wiping out sects without hesitation. When would someone like him ever make such an expression?

Liuu Tianyuan stopped joking and frowned. ”How do I save you?”

”I’ve been reborn, but my memories remain. Though I’m now just a Remnant Soul, compared to my current Cultivation Base, you two are still extremely strong. If we can devour him...”

At that moment, Su Han pointed at Huanglin, his face lighting up with excitement.

Indeed, it was genuine excitement, not fake!

”Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse”—this saying truly made sense.

Though Huanglin was also a Remnant Soul, his soul’s strength compared to Su Han’s was beyond terrifying—it was absurdly superior. When Su Han first awakened, he had considered the possibility of devouring Huanglin. If he could manage that, his soul would not only recover immediately but also leverage the immense power of Huanglin’s Remnant Soul to reassemble the Primordial Spirit of his First True Self!

And not just the Primordial Spirit of his First True Self; harnessing Huanglin’s vast Soul Force, Su Han could directly condense a Second Primordial Spirit!

Most significantly, Huanglin originated from a High-Grade Star Domain and possessed Fire Attribute Origin. If he could successfully devour Huanglin, Su Han would gain control over this Fire Attribute Origin—an extraordinary opportunity that could be described as heaven-sent!

Condensing a Second Primordial Spirit was something Su Han could have already achieved with the Blood Crystals and spirit fragments gifted to him by the Eastern Ancestor.

But why hadn’t he done it?

Because it lacked Origin!

The appearance of Huanglin seemed divinely orchestrated for Su Han. If he could condense the Second Primordial Spirit, one endowed with Origin, Su Han’s power would skyrocket!

And if he managed to fully reconstruct his physical body, even Dragon Emperor Realm Early Stage beings like Yuani Ling couldn’t kill him!

Even powerful Dragon Emperor Realm Early Stage masters like the Sixth Holy Son Liushui Mingxue, who controlled the Imperial Domain, wouldn’t be able to stop Su Han if he chose to escape!

But all of this hinged on devouring Huanglin’s Remnant Soul.

While Su Han had entertained the thought of it before, it had remained nothing more than a fantasy. Huanglin’s Remnant Soul was overwhelmingly powerful—if not for Huanglin wanting to refine Su Han, he could have simply crushed him with a single move. How could Su Han even dream of devouring such a foe?

But Su Han could never have anticipated that this fiery silhouette—the same Huanglin who called him ”filthy beast”—would turn out to be Liuu Tianyuan!

If Liuu Tianyuan was willing to help him, then swallowing Huanglin might actually be possible!

”Hahahaha...”

In a fleeting moment of thought, Su Han finished speaking, and Huanglin burst into laughter like he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

”You said... you want to devour me?”

Huanglin glared at Su Han, laughing again, ”Hahahaha... I’ve lived so long and thought I’d seen everything. But only now, looking at you, do I truly understand how the word ’arrogance’ should be written!”

Despite his laughter, the intense killing intent in Huanglin’s tone was utterly unrestrained, radiating outward.

”Can you handle it?”

Su Han ignored him and turned to Liuu Tianyuan.

He believed that his Elder Brother-in-law would undoubtedly assist him. The only worry was whether Liuu Tianyuan could suppress Huanglin.

”There’s an Origin Barrier here. Even if you devour him, you still can’t escape,” Liuu Tianyuan said after a moment’s silence.

Su Han paused. ”Origin Barrier?”

”Yes.”

Liuu Tianyuan explained, ”Your Remnant Soul is too weak, so you can’t sense it. But there is indeed an Origin Barrier here; if not for it, we wouldn’t have been trapped here for so many years.”

”Breaking this Origin Barrier requires one of two things. First: an attack using two Origins. Second: a soul strength so powerful it’s beyond limits. Neither of these alone is sufficient; both must be achieved simultaneously. So when I say there’s only one way forward...”

Upon hearing this, Su Han frowned deeply.

He finally understood why Huanglin had been fixated on refining and devouring him, and then moving on to Liuu Tianyuan.

His own Remnant Soul was too weak. Even if Huanglin successfully refined him, he wouldn’t be able to escape.

But if Huanglin were to refine him, it would greatly strengthen his Remnant Soul. Huanglin and Liuu Tianyuan were evenly matched, and with Su Han devoured, Huanglin would overpower Liuu Tianyuan, possibly swallowing him as well and refining him.

If Huanglin accomplished all this, his Remnant Soul wouldn’t be fully restored but would undoubtedly grow incomparably powerful!

Liuu Tianyuan possessed Origin—this was something Su Han had known for a long time. What was uncertain was whether Liuu Tianyuan’s Avatar also held Origin. However, from Huanglin’s desperate phrasing, Su Han could infer that Liuu Tianyuan’s Avatar likely did possess it.

Devour Su Han, then Liuu Tianyuan—and with a stronger soul and two Origins, Huanglin could indeed break free from this Origin Barrier!
