Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 284 - 283: My Holy Lord, There Is Only One!
Chapter 284: Chapter 283: My Holy Lord, There Is Only One!
“What?!”
Seeing the Red Pearl shatter in an instant, the Red-Clothed elder, as well as two other Nascent Soul Stage elders, all had their expressions drastically change.
They all knew that the Red Pearl was one of the strongest defensive artifacts of the Red-Clothed elder. He had been refining it since the early stages of his cultivation, and by now, in the Divinity Transformation Realm, he had managed to produce only twelve of them.
Such Red Pearls, needing just one, could resist the assault of an attack of the same level in the Divinity Transformation Stage. If all twelve were fully deployed, even a Transcendance Tribulation Stage old monster would have a hard time breaking through momentarily!
“A grand stronger indeed!”
Far in the distance, Lian Yuze and others also witnessed this true scene.
...
Although the distance was vast, they could still feel the power of that Red Pearl.
Exactly because of this, they could deeply appreciate the strength of that frail man.
Such formidable Red Pearls, which even a Seventh-Order Grand Magister would likely struggle to shatter, appeared as fragile as thin paper under one palm strike of the frail man.
Only Su Han, whose tightly knitted brows slowly relaxed, sighed in relief inwardly.
As for why he sighed in relief, only he knew.
“Whizz, whizz, whizz!”
All these words could not describe the rapidity; it all happened in an instant.
After the first Red Pearl shattered, the remaining eleven Red Pearls, under the control of the elder’s clenched teeth, flew down in a circular form, revolving around the Black Bowl.
This was the strongest defensive formation of the Red Pearls, which the Red-Clothed elder had seldom used up till now.
However, this defense form still proved useless!
“Boom!!!”
The palm, carrying a tremendous wave of sound, shattered the space bit by bit, creating ripples that spread out.
The moment it contacted the Red Pearls, the remaining eleven Red Pearls all trembled violently and in the next instant, they burst explosively!
“No… No!!!”
The Red-Clothed elder shrieked, his body trembling, his inner fear indescribable.
He knew that if the Red Pearls couldn’t withstand this palm strike, the Black Bowl would fare even worse, and the same was true for the myriad of longswords!
And once they failed to defend, he and the others would perish completely.
“Crack!”
Indeed, what he feared was correct, the palm had now made contact with the Black Bowl, which immediately cracked, much like shattered glass. The vast Black Bowl, at this moment, split into two, then from two into four, and from four into eight…
Eventually, it fragmented into countless pieces, further disintegrating into the void, turning into nothingness.
Up to this point, of the three major defenses laid out by the Red-Clothed elder, only the myriad of longswords had yet to be breached.
It’s not accurate to say they weren’t breached, rather, the palm hadn’t reached them yet.
“Too weak.”
The frail man snorted coldly, his palm suddenly exerting more force.
Upon exerting force, the already thousand-foot-wide palm expanded again, transforming into ten thousand feet, and surprisingly, he grabbed all of those myriad longswords in his hand.
“Hiss, hiss!”
The grating sound echoed clearly, showing the gaunt man grabbing those longswords and fiercely kneading them.
Under such kneading, the longswords, which could casually kill someone at the Nascent Soul Stage, turned completely into junk. At a glance, they looked like lumps of scrap iron. Where was there any semblance of a longsword?
“Elder, spare our lives, please!!!” the red-clothed elder begged tearfully.
“Spare your life? Do you even have the face to ask for mercy?”
The gaunt man’s voice suddenly turned icy cold, “When the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor was alive, he helped the Polar Demon Domain so much — you all are very clear about that in your hearts! Now, upon his fall, you immediately started to betray. When you were betraying, did you ever think that you too could be hunted down? Did you really think that scoundrel could sit on the Holy Lord’s throne forever?”
“When you hunted the descendants of the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, why didn’t you think of sparing their lives? When the Polar Demon Domain was hunting down the forces under the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, why didn’t you think of sparing them?”
“Now, you speak to me of sparing your life? If I truly let you go, how would I have the face to face the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor!”
His voice grew louder, until at the end, it buzzed like a hum, shaking the firmament.
“Elder, the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor is dead, why must you cling so stubbornly!”
The red-clothed elder clenched his teeth and said, “Now, the entire Holy Domain respects the current Holy Lord, everyone is trying to please him. God-Slaying Pavilion is falling apart and facing extinction; all the close friends of the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor have been placed in situations where they are hunted. If we don’t follow the Holy Lord’s orders, we simply cannot survive!”
“That is your Holy Lord, not mine!”
The gaunt man said solemnly, “My Holy Lord is only one, and that is the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor! Even if he is dead, fallen, or gone forever, he is still the Holy Lord!”
“You are simply refusing to accept reality!”
An elder at the Nascent Soul Stage shouted, “You must understand, the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor is really dead, utterly dead! People aim high and water flows low, none of us has the power of the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, and if there really is such a person, it would only be the current Holy Lord. With just one palm, he could suppress the entire Holy Domain. If we do not submit to him, what could we possibly use to oppose him?”
“It’s not that you lack the power, but… you simply have no intention to oppose him!”
The gaunt man snorted coldly and stopped talking further. His massive palm swung again.
These two Nascent Soul Stage elders were the first to face the brunt, they knew they were no match for their opponent, so they had no intention of fighting.
In an instant, they unleashed all their speed, trying to escape.
Even as they fled, countless defenses were activated. Even if it resulted in serious injuries, as long as they could stay alive, those injuries could be healed!
“Running?”
The gaunt man sneered, “If I can’t even kill you two, how can I ever seek out the Holy Lord!”
“Crack!”
As he waved his hand, an invisible attack was launched, obliterating the space where the two Nascent Soul Stage elders were trying to escape.
Not just the space, but even the two elders themselves were immobilized as if turned into statues; they wished to run but could not move an inch.
As the space shattered, so did their bodies, bursting open. Their Nascent Souls had no chance to escape and died instantaneously!
“Elder, I am willing to serve you, to revive the once glorious glory of the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor…”
The red-clothed elder was trembling with fear; he knew that even at his Peak Divinity Transformation Stage, he was still no match for the gaunt man.
However, before he could finish his words, the gaunt man appeared before him like a specter.

“People like you, even if you kneel and beg for mercy, I will not let you go!”
“Boom!”
As soon as his words fell, without seeing any attack from the gaunt man, the red-clothed elder’s body suddenly burst into dust, dispersing into the world.
