Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 722: Chapter 573 Sea Emperor Crystal

A bucolic place with picturesque mountains and clear rivers, like a utopia.

Somewhere, the void suddenly twisted and spun, forming a vortex. Then, Su Yuan emerged from it, accompanied by Luo Bingtong and Ruan Ruan.

Su Yuan looked at himself, completely enveloped in a layer of water light.

“Indeed, even though I’m protected by this layer of water light, it seems I can’t directly intervene in the Beast Tamer’s battle…”

Su Yuan showed a thoughtful expression as he carefully examined his condition.

Just then, some noises came from the distance, gradually approaching.

Su Yuan looked up and saw a Star Beast with three ferocious canine heads.

This Star Beast was extremely agile, with mouths full of blade-like teeth and a dragon’s tail trailing behind it.

Moreover, there was a four-pointed star mark on its chest where the three heads converged.

“A Hell Three-headed Dog, huh…”

Su Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly. As soon as he entered, he encountered a Star Beast from another plane, and it was from the powerful demon tribe.

“Roar!”

The Hell Three-headed Dog roared angrily at Su Yuan and his group. Its heads lifted high, and the fluctuating dark red flames rapidly converged in its three bloodthirsty mouths.

“Netherflame Piercing Cannon!” Su Yuan recognized it immediately.

This was precisely the fire and dark dual-attribute powerful skill, comparable in power to Dragon Flash.

Seeing this, Luo Bingtong prepared to call out her Ice Saber, surrounded by Flying Snow. However, Ruan Ruan had already jumped from Su Yuan’s shoulder to the front, opened her mouth, and instantly black light waves emanated from within.

The temperature in the field suddenly dropped and the Hell Three-headed Dog, ready to strike, combined the three Netherflame Piercing Cannons into one, creating a trench hundreds of meters long aimed at Su Yuan and the others!

However, the expected violent explosion did not occur.

Instead, the black ripples in front of Ruan Ruan acted like a funnel, quickly drawing all the dark red flames into her mouth and completely devouring them.

In a matter of seconds, the dark red flames had entirely vanished…

“Burp~”

Ruan Ruan gently burped, her mouth releasing wisps of black and red smoke, unharmed.

“Roar, roar??!!”

In the distance, the Hell Three-headed Dog stared wide-eyed in disbelief!

But soon, the Hell Three-headed Dog felt a strong sense of impending doom. Alarmed, it tried to move back, but saw the white-haired girl beside the Slime, raising her right index finger. The icy energy at her fingertip rapidly compressed into a fist-sized ball of bright white light aimed straight at it.

Damn!

The Hell Three-headed Dog’s heart skipped a beat, its black flames erupted as it tried to retreat in urgency.

But it was already a bit late.

A flash of pure white mixed with a hint of gold shot out from Luo Bingtong’s fingertip, striking the Hell Three-headed Dog in no time.

This was Dragon Flash!

“Sizzle!”

The highly compressed icy Star Power directly pierced through the Hell Three-headed Dog’s protective Star Power, boring into its body!

This didn’t end there, ice radiance surged, and an intense cold force wreaked havoc!

The terribly strong ice force spread from the gaping hole in the Hell Three-headed Dog’s chest, freezing its entire body!

Terrified, the Hell Three-headed Dog mobilized its Fiery Flame Power, attempting to melt the ice.

However, the ice was not only extremely resilient but also contained extremely domineering golden energy, rendering the ice indestructible.

As things stood, the Hell Three-headed Dog couldn’t even move, let alone circulate its own Star Power!

By this time, Luo Bingtong, gripping an Ice Saber, charged forward.

With several quick flashes of cold light, the Hell Three-headed Dog’s three heads were severed and crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.

“Time Stop Power…”

Su Yuan narrowed his eyes, recognizing it as the “Time Freeze” Luo Bingtong had showcased in the New Dust Realm.

The Power of Time had three directions: Past (Retrospection), Present (Stop), and Future (Acceleration).

His own Returning Ruins Divine Wind followed the Time Acceleration path while Luo Bingtong’s Power of Soul was of the Time Stop branch.

The ice released by Luo Bingtong was already incredibly hard due to the Ten Thousand Transformation Xuan Ice. Now, this power further solidified it…

Once trapped by her ice, even a high-level demon like the Hell Three-headed Dog couldn’t break free, failing to even exhibit half of its strength before being easily slain by Luo Bingtong.

“Truly impressive…” Su Yuan admired inwardly.

At the Hell Three-headed Dog’s death site, a faint light appeared, not forming any Star Core but instead gathering into a four-cornered crystal, which Luo Bingtong picked up.

Luo Bingtong glanced at it and handed the four-cornered crystal to Su Yuan as she walked back.

“So this is the Sea Emperor Crystal…”

Su Yuan examined it but felt nothing special.

Luo Bingtong nodded, “We need to collect one…the best one.”

“Yes.”

Su Yuan had also heard some details from Wang Hao.

Over countless years, all the essence crystals in the Sea Emperor’s Legacy Land evolved into some of the Star Beasts seen by the Beast Tamer before, balanced to the Secret Realm’s Shining Star Level.

The Sea Emperor’s Legacy Land opened once every century, each time different Star Beasts would emerge from the crystals.

Master Quality Star Beasts weren’t fit for the task. Only the Star Beasts evolving in the Sea Emperor’s Legacy Land were at least of Epic level, with the weakest being triangular crystal Star Beasts.

Slaying them would yield a Sea Emperor Crystal, a potential development resource.

However, these items had astonishing energy density, fully refining one triangular crystal would take at least several days.

Hence, during their time in the Secret Realm, focusing on collecting one higher-level Sea Emperor Crystal to take out was sufficient.

The Hell Three-headed Dog was already strong among the Shining Star Level Star Beasts, thus yielding a four-cornered crystal.

“Slurp, slurp.”

Ruan Ruan, who had been staring at the crystal, suddenly spoke up.

“Hmm?” Su Yuan looked surprised, “Ruan Ruan, can you devour it?”

Ruan Ruan nodded, “Slurp!”

Su Yuan’s heart stirred, earlier Ruan Ruan mentioned she could devour and decompose the crystal using the Devouring Law, thereby absorbing some of its power. She wanted to try it.

Su Yuan smiled, “Then give it a try.”

Merely a four-cornered crystal, Su Yuan casually tossed it to Ruan Ruan.

Ruan Ruan swallowed it in one bite, then closed her eyes.

Black ripples of devouring power surged like waves from Ruan Ruan’s body, apparently determinedly digesting the crystal’s power.

Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong patiently waited beside Ruan Ruan, not rushing to move.

After about ten minutes, black ripples on Ruan Ruan’s body intensified, emanating a strong devouring wave.

“Slurp!”

Ruan Ruan opened her eyes.

“Well, Ruan Ruan?”

Ruan Ruan excitedly said, “Slurp, slurp, slurp!”

“Oh? Absorbed about thirty percent!”

Su Yuan was overjoyed. As long as Ruan Ruan could quickly absorb such crystals using the Devouring Law, even at thirty percent, or twenty, or even ten percent, it was beneficial!

“Great!” Su Yuan patted Ruan Ruan’s head, smiling, “If that’s the case, then we must make the most out of this Sea Emperor’s Legacy Land in the Dragon Palace!”

“Slurp!”

Ruan Ruan leaped happily, transforming into a Golden Winged Thunder Peng amid flowing blue lights.

“Slurp slurp (Master, climb on)!”

Su Yuan quickly mounted Ruan Ruan transformed into the Golden Winged Thunder Peng. He also pulled Luo Bingtong up, seating her in front.

“Slurp slurp (Takeoff!!)!”

Ruan Ruan, full of excitement, turned into a streak of golden lightning heading out…

Somewhere in the Sea Emperor’s Legacy Land.

Ao Wu, surrounded by yellow energy, clashed with a humanoid Star Beast, the Giant Divine Weapon, which appeared to be made of gold and iron.

Upon closer inspection, this Giant Divine Weapon had a four-pointed star mark on its left cheek.

“This Star Beast possesses incredible strength!” Ao Wu remarked solemnly.

The humanoid Giant Divine Weapon was native only to the northern part of the East Continent.

Neither the Dragon Palace nor Wang Hao from the Southern Continent had ever seen such a Star Beast.

The Eight-eyed Divine Owl expanded its bloodline transformation, three heads, and twenty-four bright red eyes lit up, continuously firing beams at the Giant Divine Weapon.

“Boom, boom, boom!…”

Explosions rang out, and the previously stalemated Giant Divine Weapon was suddenly riddled with cracks and openings.

Ao Wu’s eyes brightened, yellow light infused his fists as numerous punches struck the Giant Divine Weapon in quick succession. The strikes echoed “clang clang” like rain, each punch carrying immense force, pushing the Giant Divine Weapon back continuously.

“Boom!”

A sudden explosion echoed as Ao Wu’s punch created a man-sized hole in the Giant Divine Weapon’s steel-like body!

The Giant Divine Weapon halted, its blue eyes dimming, and it knelt on the ground with a thud.

“As expected of the Yellow Dragon Clan’s direct lineage, such close-combat strength is truly formidable…” Wang Hao silently praised Ao Wu’s overwhelming offensive while maintaining his composure.

Ao Wu, on the other hand, recognized Wang Hao’s abilities after seeing the three-headed Eight-eyed Divine Owl in action.

At this moment, light radiated from the Giant Divine Weapon’s corpse, and a four-cornered crystal fell into Ao Wu’s hand.

Ao Wu remarked, “Brother Wang, I’ll take this crystal.”

“Alright.”

Wang Hao had no objections, as agreed before entering, the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect had an arrangement with the Dragon Palace.

Crystals of the same or higher level were reserved for the Dragon Clan first.

…

Not only Su Yuan and Wang Hao, but everyone in the Sea Emperor’s Legacy Land had already started confronting the Star Beasts within.

Near the Secret Realm’s center.

An overwhelmingly hot Holy Light Intense Flame descended from the sky, like divine punishment, falling swiftly upon the Mystic Rock unknown Sea Dragon Turtle in Xuanyan Town!

Moments later, the light flames dissipated.

The massive Sea Dragon Turtle, which had retracted its head into its shell, had its shell shattered, revealing a huge bloody hole in its back. Countless searing white flames were still burning within.

John approached, picked up a crystal from it, finding it to be a five-pointed crystal!

An Angel descended from above, landing behind John. Its eight wings burning endlessly like a blazing white flame.

“A five-pointed one, just barely usable.”

John smiled slightly, satisfied.

Ao Qinghua looked at John, eyes filled with seriousness.

Though he had expected it, John’s strength surpassed his imagination.

This Eight-winged Blazing Angel alone nearly equaled his own strength.

Ao Qinghua said, “John, this five-pointed crystal…”

“Of course, it’s yours.” John smiled, handing over the five-pointed crystal without hesitation.

A five-pointed crystal, though not the best…
