The owner of the palm was a young man who appeared to be in his twenties.
That face.
To Su Heng, it felt both estranged and familiar.
He felt familiar because they had crossed paths before. This person was none other than Auris, the young Hunting Master and sworn enemy of Solban.
Yet, what made him a stranger was not just the look in his eyes, but also the aura emanating from Auris. It had transford into a distinctly different and unnervingly formidable presence.
Considering previous speculations, Su Heng gave it so thought and realized that although the Great Elder had perished, the plan had ultimately succeeded. That mysterious, most powerful Demon Descendant had sohow been summoned using Auris’s body as a vessel.
Su Heng stood atop the dead dragon’s carcass, lightning cascading behind him like a waterfall.
First, he looked down at the horrifying, radially scorched wound on the dragon’s heart. Then, following the spear to Auris’s face, Su Heng imdiately understood, "It seems that in that battle of the past, it was you who dealt the final blow."
"Since you know I am the Dragon Slayer, why not kneel and beg for rcy?" Auris was also sizing up Su Heng, speaking in a joking tone, "My mission this ti is only to bring back the carcass of this damned dragon. Maybe, I might soften my heart and spare your life."
"Hahaha!" Su Heng laughed heartily, ferociously exclaiming, "Do you think that’s possible?"
"Don’t say that you’re just a lonely ghost now, even if your true body were to descend, what’s there to fear? I, Su Heng, have trained till now, never knowing defeat, and today’s affair is just another splendid stretch on my martial path to the heavens."
"Enough talk!"
Su Heng extended his hand forward, beckoning Auris with his fingers, "Let’s see what abilities the once-heroic soul of a Demon Descendant truly possesses."
Boom!
Although he spoke boastfully,
He never delayed in his actions, not hesitating for a mont.
Su Heng first pushed the power of the Seed of Destruction to its limit and then rged it with the Furnace of Flesh and Blood. From a distance, with Su Heng at the center, within a thousand ters all around, the entire space was filled with dense, crimson lightning.
With each breath, a great deal of the dragon’s essence and flesh turned into surging vital energy, constantly refined and devoured by Su Heng.
On one hand, intense battle against a formidable enemy.
On the other, devouring to counter the overwhelming Dragon Power radiating from the body of the real dragon.
For Su Heng, this was no easy task but, as ti passed and vast quantities of Dragon Blood and flesh were absorbed, his advantage grew like a rolling snowball, eventually becoming an anthropomorphic rampage dragon.
At that point, not to ntion facing just a re remnant soul before Su Heng,
Even if the Light King Drake at his peak were brought forward, whether he could win was still a matter of debate.
Feeling the extraordinary aura emanating from Su Heng, Auris’s hair billowed as his eyes grew sharp. He quickly entered the battle state, quickly identifying the crux of the problem. It seed the situation was much more difficult than he had expected, and he needed to dispatch Su Heng as soon as possible. ṟ𝘼ＮŎᛒĘṡ
Thinking of the Elder annihilated without a trace, and Simmons’s resolute gaze,
Auris gripped his spear, whispering, "I can’t let these children down either."
The golden Dragon Slayer spear seed to possess a kind of intelligence. At that mont, a ’clang’ echoed sharply as its light brightened and spread outward. Su Heng’s black and red malevolent energy surged like a high tide, but at that mont, it was held at bay by a forcefully opened pure land, unable to shake it.
With the spear in hand,
Auris felt as if he were back in the days when, surrounded by people, he beca like a scorching sun and battled the Destructive Demon Dragon.
"Co, fight!" Auris shouted, "Light!"
He lunged forward, his body burning like pure, lustrous glass, with every strand of hair turning into brilliant white gold.
Midway, Auris thrust his spear forward.
Off in the distance, on the dragon remains,
Su Heng felt an unprecedented sense of crisis crashing down, his black and red pupils shrinking rapidly. Even though he pushed his senses to the limit, the spear’s speed, quick as a flash, left him no chance to dodge.
Instinctively, Su Heng slightly turned his shoulder aside.
Thud!
A splash of blood appeared.
Su Heng’s robust, muscular arm was severed from the shoulder, flying high off carrying a large clump of blood.
The blood splattered across Su Heng’s jet-black, fierce face, on the corners of his bared, fang-toothed mouth, and on the twitching veins by his eyes and his disheveled hair. He first felt an unprecedented stinging sensation, and then exhilaration surged up in his chest like a tidal wave.
Thump!
A loud noise erupted as Su Heng’s undying nature took effect.
The severed arm reappeared in a flash, returning to its place, and the wounds on his body healed instantly.
But the blood on Su Heng’s face did not disappear, making his already hideous features look even more terrifying.
"Hahaha, indeed no reputation ever falls short of the truth." Su Heng grinned wide, roaring as dense, black sinews spread from his neck, crawling over his chin and across his face.
In the backlight of the scarlet lightning, the figure was entirely cloaked in darkness, casting a shadow that spread outwards endlessly, obscuring everything with an air of swallowing the world whole.
The laughter, like thunder, echoed in Auris’s ears, making him feel as if his internal organs were trembling slightly.
A wave of nausea and discomfort surged up.
His expression darkened.
This body had still not undergone a complete transformation; to him, it seed too fragile.
With a great responsibility upon him, he could not afford to hold back in the slightest. His recent attack had been with his full strength, but it hadn’t achieved the expected effect. Judging by Su Heng’s robust appearance, it was probably not even a minor injury. And as ti passed, the battle would only get harder.
With this thought, an urgent feeling surged in Auris’s heart.
Your journey continues at
Bang!
But just as he was slightly distracted—
A cold voice suddenly rang in his ear, "Your mind is in disarray, what are you thinking?"
Auris’s heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition instantly rising. He quickly gathered his thoughts and looked up, only to see darkness all around, the black fog created by the authority of the Seed of Destruction mixed with Su Heng’s overwhelmingly powerful energy.
"Hahaha!" A rolling laugh ca through, reverberating everywhere, making it impossible to discern Su Heng’s exact location.
Whoosh!
A chill ca from behind Auris.
With his martial artist’s instinct honed through nurous battles, he spun around without hesitation.
A face with a fierce smile abruptly appeared before Auris, re three ters away, almost as if it was right in his face. Su Heng’s left hand was raised high, the beating of his heart visible, a golden light extending along his chest into the palm of his hand, forming a blazing sun.
"You too, take my punch!"
Boom!
Ten thousands of tons of mighty strength sealed the surroundings, a domineering punch thundering down on him.
Auris’s eyes split with anger, as he could only hastily lift his long spear to block.
The punch landed heavily on the shaft of the spear, unleashing its power with an explosive force. Auris felt nurous fiery lances violently bursting into his body, the air distorting and heating up. The skin on his body facing Su Heng began to visibly char and sizzle.
Then the mighty force erupted, piercing through his entire body. Auris’s body arched like a shrimp, transford into a streak of light, and slamd heavily into the rocky wall at the far end of the crater.
Boom!
The whole scorched earth quaked with that terrifying punch, dust billowing. Countless heavy boulders exploded outward, tumbling to the ground.
Auris lay deeply buried under the boulders, his body turned to char.
Apart from so Demon Descendants with special talents, most of them did not possess the Earth Immortals’ undying nature. Although Auris was exceptionally talented, he was no exception. His physical constitution was substantially stronger than martial artists of the sa realm; thus, after taking a full-force punch from Su Heng, he was still breathing.
But that was all.
His injuries were severe, and despite Auris doing his utmost to recover, the effects were minimal.
However, just as he was about to resort to using the Secret Technique at all costs and tap into his potential, a vigorous life force suddenly ca through, like a heavenly rain falling onto his withered body.
Auris first was surprised, then overjoyed.
This life force ca from the long spear in his hands, a weapon that had accompanied Auris through countless battles, with both their wills intertwined. Moreover, having remained on a dragon’s heart for an age, it had absorbed a substantial amount of real Dragon Blood, and now it was being stimulated, conveying to Auris’s body.
Boom!
His injuries visibly and swiftly recovered, and then his aura burst forth, stronger than before.
The rubble on his body exploded, and he leaped out from the rolling dust and smoke.
At that mont, Su Heng was fully absorbing the flesh and blood of the true dragon, feeling that sothing chaotic and strange seed to be awakening within the dragon’s body, and it was resisting him. This distraction sowhat slowed down Su Heng’s absorption rate.
Before he could understand the cause of the problem, he heard a loud noise coming from behind him in the distance.
A golden light shot up like a sword, sowhat blinding.
Auris’s figure reappeared on the battlefield in peak condition, which was sowhat unexpected to Su Heng.
Faced with issues on both sides, he found the situation rather troubleso. However, there were priorities in every situation, and among all his problems, Su Heng thought Auris posed the greatest threat, deciding to deal with him first.
Su Heng’s gaze settled on Auris and soon noticed sothing.
"So it’s this long spear," said Su Heng, shaking his head coldly, "Well, it’s just a matter of one more punch. You won’t have any chance this ti."
"Then let’s see about that!" With the long spear compensating for the weakness of his physique, Auris’s gaze was fierce, his confidence surging. He believed even if he couldn’t exert his full power, he would not be weaker than his enemy, able to resolve the trouble here and once again pave the way for his descendants.
Su Heng took a deep breath, his aura skyrocketing in an instant, golden light illuminating, and he threw another punch forward.
Auris, refusing to be outdone, t the challenge head-on. Seen from above, the two were like two accelerating golden lights colliding, leaving the world behind in a split second, accompanied by thunderous flashes, colliding over the cracked and charred earth in the blink of an eye.
