Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 727: Chapter 578: Facing the Law Dragon

At the edge of a massive lake in the Legacy Land, Su Yuan stood quietly, looking toward the lake.

The surface of the lake surged with cold air, appearing calm and undisturbed, but from below came continuous “thump, thump, thump” sounds of impact.

Upon closer inspection, the lake surface wasn’t just undisturbed; it was covered by a layer of incredibly hard cold ice!

Beneath this ice, beast after beast, like the Carp Dragon, Abyss Water Element, and Ghost-faced Giant Cuttlefish, struck the ice layer in terror, as if something extremely dangerous lurked below.

Yet the ice layer was not only thick but also incredibly sturdy. Despite the relentless pounding by these Star Beasts, it showed little damage.

At that moment, several enormous black water tentacles shot up from below, entangling the Carp Dragon and Ghost-faced Giant Cuttlefish, dragging them down.

Soon after, chilling white light flashed continuously from the lake bottom, followed by black ink and dispersing water elements slowly rising to the surface.

As Su Yuan watched, he suddenly sensed something and turned to look into the distance, where a magnificent golden light tinged a large portion of the sky.

“That direction…” Su Yuan’s expression changed slightly as he considered the golden light. “Such amazing fluctuations. It seems someone has provoked the Seven-pointed Star Beast to act…”

While Su Yuan pondered, the previously hard lake surface suddenly melted like snow, causing the water to ripple gently once again.

With a “splash,” two figures flew out of the lake, landing before Su Yuan.

They were Luo Bingtong and Ruan Ruan.

Luo Bingtong’s body glimmered with Spirit Light, causing water and Sea Beast blood pollutants to transform into ice shavings that fell away. She then took out a ring and said to Su Yuan, “They’re all inside…”

“Boop boop!” Ruan Ruan looked expectantly at Luo Bingtong.

A flash of light from the ring, and a large number of crystals rapidly piled up on the ground in front of them—triangular, quadrangular, pentagonal… Upon careful counting, there were thirty-two Sea Emperor Crystals of various levels in total!

This was the result of Luo Bingtong and Ruan Ruan teaming up to completely slay all the Star Beasts in the lake!

Ruan Ruan’s eyes gleamed, barely containing the drool from her mouth, and she turned to Su Yuan: “Boop boop~”

Su Yuan chuckled and pinched Ruan Ruan: “They’re all yours. Go ahead and devour them.”

“Boop!”

Excitedly, Ruan Ruan opened wide, and a wave of pitch-black Power of Devouring spread out, sucking up all the Sea Emperor Crystals into her body.

Clearly, the combined size of all these crystals was far greater than Ruan Ruan’s own, yet Ruan Ruan’s “belly” was like a bottomless abyss, showing no change at all.

“Boop!”

Suddenly, Ruan Ruan’s eyes widened as if she was suffering from indigestion from overeating, and she immediately transformed, becoming several meters tall.

Rising black devouring power encircled Ruan Ruan, growing denser and denser until she was entirely enveloped, rapidly growing stronger at a visibly accelerating rate.

Su Yuan’s eyes showed thoughtfulness. “It seems, this time, it should succeed…”

Though Ruan Ruan’s devouring capabilities had significantly increased, devouring so many crystals still required some time.

Su Yuan turned to Luo Bingtong and said, “You should rest for a while too.”

“Mm.”

Luo Bingtong responded and then leaned beside Su Yuan to rest.

Time passed, and it took two or three hours for Ruan Ruan to awaken.

Her pair of golden eyes had now turned to a black-gold hue, with black light flowing within, resembling an abyss that seemed to pull in one’s soul.

“Star Envoy Level!”

Having faced Star Envoys many times, Su Yuan confirmed that Ruan Ruan’s current powerful soul force had reached the Star Envoy Level.

Su Yuan took a deep breath. Entering the Sea Emperor Relics and spending days tirelessly hunting for crystals had finally elevated Ruan Ruan’s Power of Devouring to this level!

Black light swirled in Ruan Ruan’s eyes, seeming briefly dazed, but she quickly returned to normal.

“Boop!”

Sensing her newfound strength, Ruan Ruan excitedly leapt to Su Yuan’s shoulder, joyfully nuzzling his face.

“Alright, alright~” Su Yuan pinched Ruan Ruan, smiling, “You should thank Bingtong more.”

Ruan Ruan snapped out of it, transformed into a blue-haired girl, and leapt into Luo Bingtong’s arms.

“Bingtong, Bingtong!”

At that moment, Ruan Ruan, now slightly taller than Luo Bingtong, hugged her excitedly like a child.

Seeing this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but smile.

At this moment, Ruan Ruan had broken through in soul force, and Bingtong had rested enough.

Su Yuan then said, “The Seven-pointed Star Beast seems to be quite active over there. Let’s go check it out now.”

“Okay, Master!”

Speaking of business, Ruan Ruan released Luo Bingtong and transformed into the Golden Winged Thunder Peng, speeding toward the central area with Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong.

After a while, Su Yuan reached the front of a valley and surveyed the enormous, shocking craters below, his expression tightening.

“Such concentrated Star Power!”

Though much time had passed, there was still an expansive, undissipated golden glow in the craters, radiating strong, intimidating fluctuations.

Ruan Ruan flew over the valley, allowing Su Yuan and the others to see the massive Black Gold Giant Dragon with a seven-pointed mark on its arm!

“The Seven-pointed Star Beast, indeed, the Legendary Dragon Clan of half-step Radiant Moon level…”

Su Yuan frowned slightly. Could Ruan Ruan and Bingtong handle such an opponent without his intervention?

Su Yuan looked at Luo Bingtong and the enthusiastic Ruan Ruan below him.

“Boop boop!” Ruan Ruan, energized by her newfound strength, was full of fighting spirit.

Luo Bingtong quietly looked at Su Yuan, not thinking too much. As long as the one beside her gave the word, she would act.

“No matter what, it’s worth a try…”

Su Yuan’s eyes showed contemplation. With one or two days before the Sea Emperor’s Legacy Land closed, they were already prepared. There was no point in waiting any longer.

“Are you ready?” Su Yuan asked Ruan Ruan and Bingtong.

“Mm.”

“Boop!”

“Alright.” Su Yuan glanced at the meditating Black Gold Giant Dragon below. “Let’s go!”

Luo Bingtong, without hesitation, leapt off the Golden Winged Thunder Peng’s back. Amidst swirling frost, she transformed, unsheathing her snow-white Ice Saber.

“White Mist.”

Ice glittered on the saber as Luo Bingtong’s six wings fluttered, transforming her into a streaking white mist that cut down from the sky!

The Golden Law Dragon below abruptly opened its indifferent golden eyes, glancing at the approaching Luo Bingtong. Golden veins glowed in its tail, whipping up to meet her strike.

“Clang!”

The Ice Saber collided with the dragon’s tail, setting off waves of cold air and golden light. After a moment of deadlock, Luo Bingtong was repelled.

“Are you okay?” Su Yuan asked, watching Luo Bingtong steady herself.

Luo Bingtong shook her head slightly. “I’m fine. Its strength… is considerable…”

Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed. It was the first time he saw Luo Bingtong being forced back in a direct confrontation.

Just then, a brilliant golden light shone as a strong fluctuation of Star Power emanated from below.

Atop the Law Dragon’s head, an incredibly dense Golden Holy Spear had formed, shooting towards Luo Bingtong!

Luo Bingtong stepped forward, summoning layers of petals-like Ten Thousand Transformation Xuan Ice to shield herself.

The Golden Holy Spear struck the Xuan Ice, erupting like a mini-sun with countless rays, swiftly cracking the Xuan Ice shield!

However, the Ten Thousand Transformation Xuan Ice was no ordinary substance. Waves of cold ice surged like tides, flowing faster than the Golden Holy Spear could penetrate.

Soon after, rather than piercing the Xuan Ice, the Golden Holy Spear was pushed back and dissipated.

Luo Bingtong did not need any defensive skills as the Ten Thousand Transformation Xuan Ice was her most flexible and toughest defense!

“Bingtong, watch out!”

Suddenly, Su Yuan cautioned.

Luo Bingtong looked down to see ten Golden Holy Spears hovering like a disc atop the Law Dragon’s head.

With a sweep of the Law Dragon’s massive tail, all ten spears pointed towards Luo Bingtong.

Feeling a strong sense of danger, Luo Bingtong tensed, ready to react.

But then, a flash of color appeared before her eyes—a girl with sea-blue hair stood in front of her. It was the human-formed Ruan Ruan.

“B-Bingtong?” Luo Bingtong asked hesitantly.

“Devouring Black Hole!”

Ruan Ruan spread her hands, creating a spinning black vortex. In moments, it expanded into a devouring black hole several dozen meters wide.

As golden light flashed, the ten destructive Golden Holy Spears shot out one by one!

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh…”

All the spears were absorbed into the black hole.

Instantly, the black hole trembled violently, as golden spears exploded within, holy light roaring as if to shatter the black hole!

Ruan Ruan gritted her teeth, pouring more devouring power into the vortex.

The black hole shuddered briefly before extinguishing the golden light. Without a sound, it steadily absorbed all ten Golden Holy Spears.

“Huh? Solved already?” Su Yuan was momentarily stunned.

Luo Bingtong was also taken aback: “Ruan Ruan… amazing.”

Though they expected Ruan Ruan’s devouring law to have strengthened significantly, they didn’t anticipate such a vast improvement!

The Law Dragon’s Golden Holy Spears, challenging even the Ten Thousand Transformation Xuan Ice, were devoured effortlessly tenfold by Ruan Ruan’s soul force at the Star Envoy Level!

But with a formidable enemy before them, there was no time to celebrate.

Seeing Ruan Ruan swallow the spears, Luo Bingtong raised her left hand, compressing the chilling light, forming a Flash of the Dragon aimed at the Golden Law Dragon below!

The Golden Law Dragon, sensing Luo Bingtong was of the Dragon Clan herself, though lower in realm and grade, hadn’t taken her seriously.

Upon contacting the pure white Flash of the Dragon, the Golden Law Dragon’s expression changed.

The powerful Flash of the Dragon failed to penetrate its defensive wing but coated it in frost that rapidly spread!

The Law Dragon quickly channeled Star Power to counter the cold, yet the formed ice, infused with golden light, resisted even the powerful Star Power of this half-step Radiant Moon, A-grade beast.
