"Just kill him for me!"
"I can do that, but just don't blame me for not warning you. Su Ming, he is the son of the Supreme Demon Emperor, the ruler of Infinite Demon Palace!"
Fang Yuhan's face twisted as he spoke viciously.
"So what if he is the son of the Demon Emperor? As long as he is not the true Demon Emperor, with the power of the dragon soul attached to me, I could end him even while sleeping."
"If you're so desperate, then I shall grant your wish young man! Now give me your blood essence and lifespan!"
The Blood Dragon spoke with dominance, its dragon eyes gleaming with a chilling murderous intent.
"Take it."
Fang Yuhan gritted his teeth.
Immediately, Fang Yuhan's body shuddered, and with a loud crash, a large amount of his blood essence surged out of his skin. He let out a painful cry as his skin split open, his face rapidly withering. In that instant, it seemed as though Fang Yuhan had aged decades.
"Aaaaahhhh!-"
Fang Yuhan started screaming as hi vitality rapidly depleted, and his cultivation at the Spiritual Realm began to regress. He had lost a massive amount of essence, and it would take at least a hundred years of bitter cultivation to recover.
But even so, his face remained cruel and his eyes bloody cold.
"This...agh... is worth it!"
"As long as I can kill Su Ming, what is the cost of losing some of my... essence!"
"Once Su Ming is dead, I'll leave this place."
"After a hundred years of cultivation, nothing in this world, not even the Infinite Demon Palace, will stand in my way!"
"Su... Ming, tonight is your undeniable end!"
He was confident in the power of the Blood Dragon. Tonight, Su Ming would not escape!
The Blood Dragon's soul separated and disappeared in an instant.
Soon, the palace Fang Yuhan mentioned appeared before them.
The Blood Dragon could read Fang Yuhan's memories and had locked onto Su Ming's location.
....
*Swoosh*
With no effort at all, the Blood Dragon entered the palace.
It found Su Ming lying in bed, resting, a cold smile appearing on its face.
"What's a son of the Demon Emperor to me? If he's not the true Demon Emperor, he's nothing but an ant in front of my mighty existence."
"Tonight, I will take your life, son of the Demon Emperor."
With a deafening roar, the Blood Dragon charged toward Su Ming, entering his sea of consciousness directly.
As a soul in a fragmented state, it had spent thousands of years in the Yellow Spring Diagram, nourishing its soul with the Yellow Spring's energy, and developed a technique to consume the sea of consciousness.
Yellow Spring water was a terrifying substance that could burn the soul with just a drop.
The Blood Dragon had been feeding on this water for centuries, and now it had the Yellow Spring's energy deeply integrated into its body.
Even a practitioner at the Extinction Realm would likely have no chance of escaping once the Blood Dragon entered their sea of consciousness.
*Buzz...!*
There was no obstacle as the Blood Dragon entered Su Ming's sea of consciousness.
From here, all it needed to do was release the Yellow Spring's breath, and it would destroy Su Ming's sea of consciousness instantly.
Once the sea of consciousness was shattered, ninety percent of people would either be fatally injured or die on the spot.
Even those who survived would become mindless vegetables.
Just as the Blood Dragon was about to act, a faint voice echoed in the sea of consciousness.
"Fang Yuhan, did he send you to kill me?"
Hmm...?
The Blood Dragon was startled.
It looked around the sea of consciousness and saw Su Ming's figure appear, wearing a brocade robe, his expression calm and unshaken.
Despite the immense creature now in his sea of consciousness, Su Ming showed no surprise.
"You're quite sharp to notice my intrusion."
"But so what? Your protector can't save you in time. In your sea of consciousness, I can finish you with a single breath."
The Blood Dragon's voice rumbled with power and menace.
"Heh."
Su Ming only smiled, "A little dragon dares to act arrogantly in front of me, the Supreme Demon Emperor's son."
"I'll give you a chance. If you submit to me and become my mount to pull my cart, I'll spare you. What do you think, great deal?"
Upon hearing this, the Blood Dragon furiously roared.
*GRRRHHH*
Its dragon cry shook the heavens.
It was the soul of a dragon bred in the Yellow Spring Diagram!
It had once been the favored beast of the ancient Yellow Spring Emperor, always proud and arrogant.
Unless the Emperor himself appeared, it would never acknowledge anyone else.
And now, this new generation's young man in front of it actually dared to ask it to submit?
And to be a.... mere mount at that?
"You are seeking death, you arrogant brat!"
"If you think your background solidifies your existence, then I shall teach you a lesson now! I'll now crush you like an ant!"
The Blood Dragon roared, opening its massive mouth and releasing a burst of Yellow Spring water.
Immediately, a terrifying force began to churn in the sea of consciousness, as if a giant Yellow Spring wave was crashing through, destroying everything in its path.
This was the aura of the Yellow Spring, a fearful and eerie existence that became a reality along with the ascension of Yellow Spring Emperor.
"Overestimating yourself huh...."
In the face of this terrifying power, Su Ming simply shook his head.
The next moment, he blinked, and his black-and-white eyes instantly turned into golden vertical pupils.
*!Boom!*
At the same time, Su Ming's sea of consciousness burst into brilliant light.
Above the sea of consciousness, a majestic figure appeared.
It seemed as if the skies parted and the world itself split open.
A colossal ancestral dragon shadow stood between heaven and earth, its size overwhelming.
The hundred-meter-long Blood Dragon now appeared as insignificant as a worm compared to it.
The enormous Primal Demon Eyes shone like the sun and the moon, obliterating everything in their sight, devouring all existence.
Endless terrifying pressure descended from all directions.
"A mere little dragon, trying to cause trouble for me?"
Su Ming's voice was cold, his words resonating in the sea of consciousness, echoing through the heavens and earth.
The Ancestral Dragon's holy body manifested!
"This is?!"
The Blood Dragon's face changed drastically.
"Ancestral Dragon?!"
"This... This can't be possible... GRHAAARRH!"
An overwhelming pressure charged at it, a fear from the deepest parts of its bloodline that it could never escape.
Dragons are often revered as the strongest creatures.
But, even the strongest species also fall under one rule, "A stronger being would dominate the weak with absolute power."
Facing the aura of the Ancestral Dragon's bloodline, the Blood Dragon's spirit instantly collapsed.
"How... How is this possible? How do you have the aura of the Ancestral Dragon?"
"The Ancestral Dragon has long since disappeared from the world! No, I don't believe it..."
The Blood Dragon immediately curled up into a ball, shrieking in terror.
It howled in despair, overwhelmed by fear.
"Your little dragon power will serve as nourishment for me."
Su Ming's voice was ice-cold.
He reached into the air with his hand, and the shadow of the Ancestral Dragon mirrored his movements, its enormous claw descending.
The Blood Dragon's eyes nearly burst from fear. It screamed, trembling with terror.
"I-I surrender! Please don't kill me, I have yet to achieve my true form!"
"I'll help you kill Fang Yuhan... I'll help you refine the divine diagram... I know the Yellow Spring Emperor's treasures..."
It cried out, pleading for mercy.
Su Ming, however, remained unmoved. His indifferent voice sounded like thorns in throat.
"I gave you a chance before..."
In the next moment, his hand grabbed the Blood Dragon's soul.
*Zap*
The full power of the Ancestral Dragon's holy body erupted...
