Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 2418: Chapter 2418: A Difficult Choice

Just a single word fell, yet it was like a storm roaring, sweeping through heaven and earth!

”Boom!!!”

The gigantic sword light, as if extending from beyond the heavens, directly descended upon the light barrier ahead amidst cries of surprise!

”Crack!”

The first light barrier shattered unexpectedly!

Then the second, third, fourth...

Up until the nineteenth, each crumbled as if swept away, violently collapsing!

Even the twentieth lasted only for three seconds.

The sword light dissipated, together with the light barrier, vanishing into the sky and earth!

Su Han stepped forward directly across two hundred meters, standing at three thousand meters, side by side with Ling Xiao, Ye Xiaofei, and others.

”This...”

Ling Xiao’s eyes widened, staring at the white-clad figure not far away, his mouth twitching.

”That last light barrier, I only broke it after exhausting all my strength, but Sect Master just with one strike, split them all open? This is too monstrous, isn’t it?”

If he were not already accustomed to Su Han’s terrifying prowess, Ling Xiao would not have believed that Su Han’s cultivation base was only at the Fourth Grade Dao Sovereign Realm!

Clearly, although Su Han’s aura felt similar to his own, in terms of comprehensive battle power, Su Han was enough to crush him!

He had just used the Top-Grade Netherworld Artifact-level Divine Blade Ultimate Night to split the light barrier.

In Su Han’s hands were the Immortal Artifact Round Cauldron and the Immortal Artifact Longsword obtained from the Demon Dragon Cave.

If he replaced the Extreme Night with these, wouldn’t it be even easier to slice through those light barriers?

”Sect Master is so strong!” Ye Xiaofei also smiled and said.

”Why does it feel like brother’s battle power is almost catching up to mine?”

Xiang’er tilted her head and said, ”Xiang’er must cultivate diligently, not allowing brother to catch up, after all, Xiang’er is supposed to protect brother!”

”Soon, it will be him protecting you.” The Destruction Empress glanced at Su Han.

”Father is the most amazing!”

From the ground, the voices of Su Qing and Su Yao came simultaneously.

They were proud of Su Han!

Xiao Yuhui, Xiao Yuran, and others were also smiling at Su Han.

They didn’t show much surprise, seemingly expecting Su Han to be strong regardless.

Meanwhile, Su Han was pondering and looking at Ye Xiaofei.

”I said before, you would definitely come, and if you did, not only would you be rewarded with the Eternal Dao Technique, but I would also give you something else.”

”No need, Sect Master, with everything I have now, Little Fei is already very...”

”What thing?”

Ling Xiao was even more anxious than Ye Xiaofei, directly interrupting her to ask.

”None of your business, roll aside!” Ye Xiaofei glared at him.

Ling Xiao clearly had thick skin, lamenting, ”Sect Master, you can’t be like this, we all made it here, if you only reward her, that would be too unfair!”

Su Han said nothing, falling into silence.

Honestly, he was somewhat conflicted about how to distribute those ten Holy Spirit Creation Pills.

Fairness aside, the key was to use them wisely.

How they should be allocated focused mainly on the battle power of the Three Teachings and Nine Schools and Seventy-Two Sects!

”Currently, the strongest on the surface is the Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void.”

Su Han pondered, ”I can deal with the Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void, even if I cannot kill him, at least I can keep him occupied without issue.”

”Apart from him, there’s the Nine Snake Saint Immortal of the Palace of the Holy Maiden, and the Old Woman of the Pure Spirit Sect.”

”Their cultivation bases are inherently not ordinary Sub-Immortal Level, positioned amongst the Dark Sorcerer Supreme, Guifeng Immortal Sovereign, and the Yin-Yang Blade Saint, and with Immortal Artifacts, they could match the Yin-Yang Blade Saint without Immortal Artifacts.”

”However, we have Xiang’er and the Destruction Empress on our side.”

”With the battle power of the Destruction Empress, giving her one Immortal Artifact would allow her to occupy not just one person, but both the Old Woman and the Nine Snake Saint Immortal without issue.”

”Xiang’er, with Immortal Artifacts like a magic wand, can also keep several occupied.”

”But, within the Three Teachings and Nine Schools and Seventy-Two Sects, there must be hidden reserves!”

”They are extremely arrogant, believing that just with those, they could annihilate my Phoenix Sect, that’s one reason.”

”After annihilating the Phoenix Sect, they will still have to guard against each other, that’s the second reason!”

”In my previous life within the Lower-Class Star Region, they already existed, and until now, millions of years later, could they only have these means? That’s the third reason!”

”Considering these three reasons, I’m sure they must have hidden reserves!”

”These hidden reserves are either Sub-Immortal Level experts or Immortal Artifacts; as for the Heavenly Emperor Realm, although my Phoenix Sect’s quantity still cannot match theirs, Peak Heavenly Emperor Realm is plentiful, one can handle several people, so no need to fear them at the Heavenly Emperor Realm.”

”Regarding the Dao Sovereign Realm... my Phoenix Sect is even less afraid!”

”Therefore, my current consideration should be whether to nurture the Heavenly Emperor Realm or the Peak Sub-Immortal Level?”

The Holy Spirit Creation Pill’s effects allow anyone below the Immortal Realm level to increase by one minor-grade, including the Sub-Immortal Level!

But the Sub-Immortal Level does not have grades, so how is the improvement observed?

It’s based on the tiers Su Han roughly divided earlier — Dark Sorcerer Supreme, Yin-Yang Blade Saint, Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void!

At the moment, Ling Xiao is comparable to the Dark Sorcerer Supreme, swallowing one Holy Spirit Creation Pill could likely upgrade him to the level of the Yin-Yang Blade Saint, swallowing two might even rival the Supreme Honor of the Sect of the Supreme Void!

But if the two Holy Spirit Creation Pills given to him were given to Xuanyuan Qiong and other Seventh Grade Heavenly Emperor Realm, it would undoubtedly nurture two Sub-Immortal Level experts!

This is where Su Han is conflicted!

If Ye Xiaofei and the seven from the Battle Clan each swallowed a Holy Spirit Creation Pill, the Phoenix Sect would then have eight Sub-Immortal Level experts!

Eight!!!

In terms of numbers, they could absolutely crush any single power, even the Starry Alliance and Four Great Dao Academies within the Lower-Class Star Region, Su Han was confident to say, do not have eight!

But if given two to Ling Xiao, that equates to losing two Sub-Immortal Levels, creating one Top-Grade Sub-Immortal Level.

Which is more useful, a Top-Grade Sub-Immortal Level or an ordinary Sub-Immortal Level?

”Aside from the Three Teachings and Nine Schools and Seventy-Two Sects, I also need to guard against the Yin-Yang Blade Saint!” Su Han contemplated.

He didn’t interact much with the Yin-Yang Blade Saint, but just from his readiness to disregard his life for the Immortal Realm, it’s clear he is ruthless, even cruel!

If he truly achieved the Immortal Realm, he’d surely pave the way for the Divine Dream Sect during his stay in the Lower-Class Star Region.

And the Phoenix Sect might very well become one of those stepping stones!
