10: Best assist ever! Ao Shang fainted from anger!
Shock, confusion, horror, fear... all sorts of emotions frantically intertwined in the hearts of these arrogant dragon prodigies.
They looked at the small figure in the magic mirror, their eyes filled with shock.
This human is a monster!
A complete monster that they could not understand at all!
"Pfft—!"
The sound of someone spitting blood broke the dead silence.
Everyone looked towards the sound.
In the shadows of the side hall, Ao Shang's massive dragon body stumbled out.
A trace of golden dragon blood hung from the corner of his mouth.
His aura was weak and dispirited.
His eyes were filled with horror and resentment.
Just now, in order to teleport the Bone Marauder to the Storm Star, he had separated a wisp of his divine soul to imprint inside the Marauder for positioning and control.
And just now, the moment the Bone Marauder was blown apart by Su Jue's punch, that overbearing and peerless power of the Law of Destruction followed the divine soul connection and backfired onto him!
His divine soul was wounded!
He tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it!
He lost the lady and the soldiers!
"Ao! Shang!"
A roar containing endless fury came from the throne in the divine temple.
Ao Yuan's dragon eyes, which resembled two blood-red suns, locked onto his eldest son.
The terrifying might of a Saint King, like billions of mountains, pressed down heavily on Ao Shang!
*Thud!*
Ao Shang's massive Saint Realm dragon body couldn't even hold out for a second before being pressed directly to its knees, unable to move.
"Father... spare me!" Ao Shang was immediately enveloped in fear.
He could feel that his father truly intended to kill him this time!
"You are very good," Ao Yuan's voice was cold to the extreme. "As the elder brother, not only did you not protect your young brother, but you instead made a secret attempt on his Life and sabotaged the trial."
"You are no longer worthy of being my son."
As he finished speaking, Ao Yuan raised his dragon claw.
A destructive aura even more terrifying than before began to gather in the center of his claw.
He was going to personally cripple this rebellious son!
"Stop!"
At that moment, Elizabeth's cold voice rang out.
She stood up from the throne, her massive silver dragon body blocking the space between Ao Yuan and Ao Shang.
"Ao Yuan, enough."
Ao Yuan's dragon eyes narrowed slightly. "You want to protect him?"
"He is at fault, but his crime is not worthy of death," Elizabeth's voice remained calm. "Moreover, although he broke the rules, he also let us see a surprise, didn't he?"
Her gaze turned toward the magic mirror.
Ao Yuan also subconsciously looked over.
In the cave on the Storm Star.
Su Jue was curiously reaching out his small hand, poking the True Essence Realm demon core floating in mid-air.
[High-quality energy body detected: True Essence Realm demon core (contains pure soul energy and fragments of the Law of Death)]
[Quality: Rank Five Spiritual Material]
[Analysis: Can be directly devoured to break through to a higher realm.]
Su Jue tilted his head.
Can I eat it?
He opened his small mouth and, with a "nom," swallowed the demon core in one gulp.
"Burp~"
He let out a satisfied burp.
A majestic and pure energy instantly exploded within his body!
[Massive influx of energy, beginning the breakthrough of martial arts realm!]
[True Essence Realm... Breakthrough!]
In just one second!
Su Jue's realm jumped directly from the recently stabilized Gang Qi Realm to the fifth realm that countless martial artists dream of—the True Essence Realm!
The gaseous Gang Qi originally in his body, under the flushing and compression of the massive energy, quickly condensed into higher quality liquid True Essence!
Its quality and recovery speed skyrocketed by more than ten times!
He could feel that his body was filled with unprecedented power.
With a thought, a wisp of pale-gold True Essence surged from the soles of his feet, and his body floated up lightly.
Qi Flight!
The hallmark of the True Essence Realm!
After doing all this, Su Jue didn't seem satisfied yet.
He looked again at the pile of pale white bone powder on the ground.
[Special substance detected: Bone Marauder Bone Powder (contains information on the Law of Death)]
[Perform deep analysis?]
"Analyze!"
Su Jue issued the command in his mind.
He reached out his small hand, and a handful of bone powder was sucked into his palm.
[Analysis starting... Extracting 'Law of Death' information...]
[Analysis successful! Gained 'Law of Death' affinity +0.1%!]
[Comprehended incomplete Divine Ability: Soul Harvest (Elementary)!]
[Soul Harvest (Elementary): Can cause minor soul tremors in living beings, with a very low probability of directly extracting a portion of the target's soul energy.]
Inside the Ten Thousand Dragon Fortress.
Seeing Su Jue in the magic mirror, who had just broken through to the True Essence Realm, comprehended a new divine ability, and was still there studying the bone meal... all the dragons, including Ao Yuan and Elizabeth, fell into a long silence.
Ao Shang made such a big scene, risking being crippled to teleport a True Essence Realm killer over.
The result... was he just sending experience, equipment, and techniques to the other party?
This is simply the best assist in the universe!
Watching this scene, Ao Shang's anger attacked his heart. With a "wah" sound, he spat out another large mouthful of dragon blood and fainted directly.
He was literally fainted from anger.
The other dragon prodigies all lowered their heads, not even daring to breathe loudly.
That little fellow in the magic mirror had already become a lingering shadow in their hearts.
It was too discouraging for dragons.
When they participated in the trial back then, which one of them hadn't faced a narrow escape from death and ended up in a wretched state?
But this human younger brother was doing just fine; the trial was like a vacation buffet to him.
Enemies were just experience packs delivered to his door.
Dangers were just insignificant appetizers.
How could they even compare?
There was no comparison.
Ao Yuan looked at his children, who were completely demoralized, and felt quite comfortable in his heart.
He walked up to the unconscious Ao Shang and kicked his massive dragon head.
"Trash."
Then, he ignored him and continued to watch Su Jue's "performance" with great interest.
Elizabeth waved her claw, signaling two smaller dragons to drag the unconscious Ao Shang away for healing.
Her gaze also returned to the magic mirror, and she felt somewhat expectant.
The first trial star, Storm Star.
Its trial objective was to survive and personally crush the core of this planet.
Now, Su Jue had already broken through to the True Essence Realm.
Surviving was no longer difficult for him.
The most powerful native creatures on this planet were only in the Bone Refining Realm.
All he had to do now was find and destroy the Planetary Core.
Inside the cave.
Su Jue familiarized himself with the power of the True Essence Realm and felt comfortable all over.
He looked at the ghostly weather outside, which was still filled with thunder, lightning, and pouring acid rain, and frowned.
He didn't like this place.
He wanted to go back.
How could he go back?
He remembered Elizabeth's words.
Crush the core of this planet.
[Mission Confirmed: Destroy the Planetary Core of 'Storm Star'.]
[Starting mission analysis...]
[Scanning the geological structure of the entire planet...]
[Scanning... Please wait...]
