Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 725 - 723: Destroying the Decayed with Ease!

As Ling Xiao charged into the battlefield, the fighters from those dozen or so powers all revealed intense wariness, as if terror-stricken, quickly retreating whenever they saw Ling Xiao approaching.

They were not afraid of Ling Xiao’s cultivation base, but they did fear that terror-inducing power of devouring Ling Xiao wielded!

The people Ling Xiao had just killed were witnessed by them; they clearly saw not only the physical body but also the primordial spirit rapidly devoured, with form and spirit utterly destroyed in the blink of an eye, leaving no chance of reincarnation.

Death wasn’t what was frightening, what was truly terrifying was being unable to reincarnate ever again!

The key point was, Ling Xiao’s cultivation base, with the enhancement from the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Shadow, had doubled in strength. Though he was still at the mid-stage of the Dragon God Realm, he was able to kill those at the later stage and, with his many techniques, could even fight against those at the peak of the Dragon God Realm, and possibly defeat or even kill them!

And once killed, they would immediately become prey for Ling Xiao, nutrients for him on this battlefield.

Without a doubt, Ling Xiao at this moment could truly be described as thriving in battle through battle!

"Ha ha ha, why are you running?"

Ling Xiao’s laughter spread all around, and wherever he went, a vacated zone immediately formed.

Everyone retreated, their eyes fixed on Ling Xiao filled with fury and a murderous intent.

"Shangguan Mingxin, lead five of the Holy Cold Divine Guards to protect Ling Xiao," Su Han commanded.

"Yes," Shangguan Mingxin immediately responded.

After all, Ling Xiao’s cultivation base was just at the mid-stage of the Dragon God Realm. On a one-on-one basis, using various techniques, he might be able to contend with those at the peak of the Dragon God Realm. But if he were targeted, and attacked by several at the peak of the Dragon God Realm, he would definitely be in danger. Therefore, Su Han dispatched five Holy Cold Divine Guards for protection.

Each of the Holy Cold Divine Guards had strength comparable to the peak of the Dragon God Realm and, thanks to the illusory power boost of this place, coupled with their unique physiques, they were more than capable of protecting Ling Xiao.

This immediately extinguished the desire of those dozen or so powers to join forces and take down Ling Xiao first.

At the same time, these dozen powers, with nearly ten thousand people, were also thrown into shock.

It was not only Ling Xiao’s terror they were shocked by but also the might of the Phoenix Sect!

The entire Phoenix Sect, all told, likely didn’t exceed a thousand people, yet this mere thousand made these nearly ten thousand people feel helpless.

Even more so, when the Phoenix Sect, like a wolf entering a flock, charged into the crowd, the slaughter began immediately.

The Purple Night Divine Guards set up Earth Guardian and various other defensive magics, the Starry Divine Guards took on the offense, the Bright Moon Divine Guards summoned demon beasts, around a hundred in total. As for the Holy Cold Divine Guards, eighty-two in all, they were gathered here – aside from the five protecting Ling Xiao, the other seventy-seven turned into sharp blades. Anyone who clashed with them found that the early stage of the Dragon God Realm met an instant kill, mid-stage couldn’t escape, and late-stage bodies exploded with their primordial spirits captured!

For those at the peak of the Dragon God Realm, they might resist one assault from them, but not multiple.

"How powerful is this Phoenix Sect, exactly?"

"Freaks, they are all freaks!"

"Just our third-rate and fourth-rate sects combined, there are about seven or eight, and with our forces alone, we could annihilate a sect like Phoenix Sect, but now..."

"The Phoenix Sect gives me the impression that every one of them... is at the peak of the Dragon God Realm!"

"Yes, that’s the feeling I get too. It’s hard to kill just one of them, let alone wiping out the entire thousand of the Phoenix Sect."

"They must have gained some fortune in this ancient battlefield, a temporary increase in their illusory strength. There’s no way, in terms of real cultivation base, that every one of them has reached the peak of the Dragon God Realm! Even a super sect would not have so many at the peak of the Dragon God Realm."

As the battle raged on, the people from those dozen powers were all heart-pounding; the original mockery and disdain had vanished at this point, leaving only horror and trembling.

They were nearly ten thousand strong, the Phoenix Sect merely one thousand, amounting to ten trying to overpower one.

However, the final outcome was that these ten people... were nearly all killed!

Even those who were not slain were fleeing in panic, using various means, never willing to join the battle again.

At this moment, the entire Land of Eruption fell silent, as all the small skirmishes came to a halt, with the only battlefield left being here, between the Phoenix Sect and these dozen or so powers.

Originally, it was these dozen or so powers that had surrounded the Phoenix Sect, but now... it was the Phoenix Sect pursuing and slaughtering these forces!

And from beginning to end, Su Han had not made a move, merely standing there, watching coldly from the sidelines.

"Boom!"

At a certain moment, an astonishing aura suddenly burst forth.

People immediately turned their gazes, only to see that the source of this aura was Ling Xiao!

They could also clearly feel that this aura was from the late stage of the Dragon God Realm.

"He has broken through?"

"He broke through just like that? So quickly?"

"Albeit the people he killed weren’t many, those dozen or so powers all feared him, scattering one after another, but the people the Phoenix Sect killed were all thrown towards him, and he barely lifted a finger. Just through devouring, his breakthrough was naturally very rapid."

"But isn’t this cultivation technique a bit too perverse? And looking at Ling Xiao... he seems to have no side effects at all?"

"So much time has passed, if there were any side effects, they would have definitely shown up by now."

Everyone thought that Ling Xiao was practicing some special cultivation technique, unaware that he was a combination of two extremely special constitutions.

People were both envious and jealous of Ling Xiao, with a trace of greed mixed in.

Yet, Ling Xiao was not afraid at all, merely sweeping his icy gaze over the crowd. Whoever met his gaze could see the challenging intent in his eyes.

"Sect Master, save me!!!"

"Phoenix Sect, you will not die a good death!!"

"I surrender! I surrender!"

As time went on, the curses and words filled with killing intent ceased, replaced by a chorus of surrendering, begging for mercy, and cries for help.

After watching for a moment, Su Han finally spoke, "Hand over your Lifeblood Gold Blood, and you can survive."

Upon hearing these words, some hesitated, and in that moment of hesitation, the Phoenix Sect made their move and blasted them to death.

Seeing this, the others dared not utter another word, and immediately slapped their foreheads, handing over their Lifeblood Gold Blood.

"Dammit!"

At the location of the hundred large portals, Duan Yuhai saw that the people from these dozen or so powers had actually surrendered, his expression shifting to rage as he stood up.

"If you dare to surrender, once you go back, your sects will be extinguished!"

Liushui Wuqing, Duanmu Wuji, and others also issued similar threats.

However, no one heeded them. For those from the dozen or so powers, the extinction of their sects was a problem for later. But if they did not surrender now, they would surely die!
