Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

He held a gleaming Dragon Pearl in his hand, precisely the Lifebound Dragon Artifact he had refined for tens of thousands of years, the ”Dark Sea Calming Abyss Pearl”.

This journey was to harness the ancient dragon grievances and the earth’s sinister energy from the depths of the Ancient Abyss for its final refinement, elevating its power to a new level.

He believed his actions were discreet, shielded by the natural prohibitions of the Ancient Abyss, and within the heartland of the East Sea Dragon Race, he felt utterly secure.

However, he failed to notice that the moment he stepped into the core area of the Ancient Abyss, an extremely subtle space barrier flawlessly merged with the Ancient Abyss’s spatial fluctuations and quietly enclosed, sealing this area entirely from the outside world.

It was Little Pu’s handiwork, completing the lock without a sound.

Immediately, three figures appeared like phantoms above the altar in front of Ao Qing.

”Who?!” Ao Qing was startled, Dragon’s Might surged, and the Dark Sea Calming Abyss Pearl in his hand instantly burst out with a ghostly blue glow to protect his body.

Upon seeing the visitors, especially the young man in the center with an aura as deep as the sea, his pupils contracted sharply: ”Shen Fei?! And... Dragon Maiden?! You dare betray the Dragon Race and collude with outsiders?!”

The East Sea Dragon Race was naturally aware of Shen Fei, and Ao Qing previously pondered why the East Sea Dragon Race needed to form an alliance with Blue Star. Although the Human Emperor Palace and the Dragon Race had old ties, granting such vast benefits of Blue Star and allowing its independence was questionable.

Particularly because mastering Blue Star was almost akin to controlling the source of the Professionals.

But he hadn’t expected.

He had already abandoned that idea, yet Shen Fei still came looking for him.

The Dragon Maiden was expressionless, the dragon horns rotating with profound space runes. Her hands sealed, she softly commanded, ”Seal!”

An invisible wave spread out, and Ao Qing was horrified to find that his connection to the East Sea Dragon Palace’s core formation and his deep sensory link with his grotto heaven were forcibly severed by a supreme, overbearing Dragon Race power of space from the same race but of a higher class.

This was precisely the application of her newly acquired term abilities ”Deceiving Heaven and Sea” and ”Primordial Ancestor Dragon·Illusion”.

”Traitor? Old fool, did you think I wouldn’t cause trouble for you when you coveted Blue Star?” Shen Fei’s voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.

”Arrogant youth! You think you can kill me?!” Ao Qing was both shocked and furious, but having been a seasoned True Immortal, he instantly calmed down.

He discerned that the Dragon Maiden’s space lock and Little Pu’s spatial suppression were layered, turning this place into a death zone, leaving him with no option but to fight to the death.

He bellowed, manifesting a colossal black dragon true form, with dragon claws tearing through the void, charged with the majestic power of the ghostly sea, seizing toward Shen Fei. Simultaneously, the Dark Sea Calming Abyss Pearl transformed into a beam of destruction, aiming straight at the Dragon Maiden, attempting to first break through the space lock.

”Too weak.” Saintess’s figure silently appeared in front of the beam of destruction.

She lightly raised her hand, and All Transformations Return to Ruins was instantly activated! A seemingly thin but flowing with myriad laws ultimately returning to nothingness, a strange light curtain unfolded.

Sizzle—!

The beam of destruction, capable of piercing stars, collided with the light curtain, yet it was like a mud ox entering the sea, not raising even a ripple, its terrifying energy and laws instantly decomposed and returned to the ruins.

A cold gleam flashed in Saintess’s eyes, and ”One Thought, a Flower Blooms” was then activated.

In an instant, countless petals condensed by pure Fire Element, Ice Element, Space System, and even a trace of Time Law appeared out of thin air, instantly shrouding Ao Qing’s colossal dragon body.

Each petal contained destructive powers compounded from countless magic, resonating and overlapping, unleashing terrifying slaying power.

Endless waves of destruction descended upon Ao Qing, continuously shattering his sturdy dragon body.

”Roar!”

Ao Qing let out a painful dragon lament, the dragon scales, harder than Divine Gold, shattered piece by piece in the petal storm, and dragon blood poured down like a waterfall, staining the dark red seawater even deeper.

He desperately urged the Dark Sea Calming Abyss Pearl, attempting to harness the dragon grievances and sinister energy from the depths of the Ancient Abyss to retaliate.

However, Shen Fei moved.

He did not summon Chi You; instead, he took a step forward himself. A spectral image of the Divine Court flashed behind him briefly, imbuing him with immense power.

He pointed his fingers like a knife, simply executing a hand blade strike. This strike fused the dominance of Chi You, the annihilation of Saintess, the spatial cutting of Little Pu, and the Immortal Slaying Path of Stabbing Immortal.

It was a concentrated display of his own Divine Lord Law and the powers of various Summoned Beasts.

Previously, he hadn’t been aware of his own strength.

Now was the perfect time to test it.

A light indescribable in color seemed to transcend the boundaries of space and time, ignoring Ao Qing’s defenses and body-protecting divine techniques, precisely slashing at the weak point of his reversed scale, which had a slight delay in power circulation due to refining the Dragon Pearl.

”No—!” Ao Qing’s dragon eyes widened, filled with extreme fear and disbelief, as this strike directly annihilated all his vitality.

Crack!

The reversed scale shattered, the dragon soul wailed!

Not only did that blade light cut off his vitality, but it also instantly shredded his primordial spirit, while forcibly extracting and devouring his immense dragon core essence blood and the Dark Sea Calming Abyss Pearl.

The thousand-foot dragon body crashed onto the ancient Dragon Bone Altar, dragon blood surged like a Profound Yellow River, dyeing the entire core of the Ancient Abyss red.

An elder True Immortal dragon of the East Sea, thus fell!

Little Pu waved to remove the spatial barrier, and the Dragon Maiden swiftly erased all traces of their actions, simulating a false wave of Ao Qing’s mishap during cultivation leading to retaliation by the Ancient Abyss’s prohibition.

Everyone disappeared directly from the scene, not minding even the corpse.

Not long after.

The news of Ao Qing’s fall in the Dragon Burial Ancient Abyss stirred huge waves within the East Sea Dragon Race.

Despite the Dragon Maiden’s meticulously arranged facade of ”cultivation backlash” being nearly flawless, the sudden fall of a True Immortal Peak elder still provoked the Dragon Race’s high-level anger and thorough investigation.

The Dragon Maiden skillfully maneuvered using the abilities of ”Deceiving Heaven and Sea” and ”Celestial Destiny Dragon Master,” not only temporarily exonerating herself of suspicion.

But also, due to ”being appointed in a time of crisis,” she stabilized the Dragon Race’s power in the Ancient Abyss region, her prestige did not diminish but instead increased, further consolidating her core position within the Dragon Race.

She was already the first Dragon Son to wield real power among the Dragon Sons, and once she ascended to Profound Immortal, she could become the ’Dragon King’ of the East Sea Dragon Race directly.

Meanwhile.

Shen Fei heard that the battles on the Void Battlefield became increasingly intense, Feng Yi mentioned that even time-space class void creatures had appeared over there.

If he needed similar materials, he could go, and some of the enormous void fragments in the void had even turned into Grotto Heavens.

Many True Immortals began heading toward True Dragon.

And Shen Fei pondered, since he was currently free.

He let Stabbing Immortal, Little Pu, and Saintess take a trip.

Before leaving, he found that Stabbing Immortal hadn’t been granted a term after reaching level 90.

And during the intense battle against Huang Jun’s avatar.

Stabbing Immortal’s Path of Assassination was able to deliver a crucial strike.

But in the Path of Space, the potential to retreat after assassination was lacking, so there was a need to grant Stabbing Immortal terms that specialized in assassination and the Path of Space.

In the silent chamber, Shen Fei’s mind delved into Talent, the sea of golden terms surged.

He locked onto ”Assassin Burst” and ”Space Type” for precise filtering.

Ten golden terms emitting lethal ghostly light and spatial ripples, like blades waiting to return to their sheaths, hovered before him.
