Chapter 532 I Will Make You the Best of Dragons!
“Drop dead!!” Su Ping howled. This time, he showed no mercy. As he pierced into that deep wound, Su Ping exhausted his strength and landed a final punch at the dragon’s skull. Bang! Fear emerged in the purple-blood dragon’s eyes. The dragon was about to open its mouth to beg for mercy when its head was crushed, brains spilling out.
The other purple-blood dragons were just as astonished as they were furious. Su Ping had killed one of them! Right there on the sacred mountain! That was their home base! But a creature had gone there and killed one of their kind! An unforgivable sin! Roar!!
The dragons bellowed one after the other. The purple-blood dragons unleashed many legendary skills. The energy was boiling in the air, space was turbulent, and chaotic energy storms were condensing on Su Ping’s head like a purple cloud.
But there was violent energy inside, and any strand of that energy was enough to easily kill a legendary rank creature! All the purple-blood dragon’s energy was pooled together! That was their combined strength!
“Kill him!”
“He shall be buried with our deceased kin!!”
All the purple-blood dragons were screaming.
That purple cloud came whooshing down on Su Ping; it had a force that was enough to reduce him into dust particles! Su Ping looked up at the cloud, his eyes blood red. He no longer had to worry about outworking himself or burning too much energy while being at the cultivation site. He was shouting, begging, craving for more energy, more!!
I’ll burn my blood but give me strength!! Roar!! Behind him, the Skeleton King appeared. It was shouting, with a voice that came from hundreds of millions of years before. The white bones around Su Ping were contracting, squeezing more and more blood out of him.
He was soaked in blood but he had gained more energy than ever before. He sacrificed his blood in exchange for power and he gathered all his strength on his fist.
“Break!!!”
Su Ping screamed. The Fist of Exorcist was taking effect. He punched at the space above his head. While carrying the golden glow, the fist was like a rising sun that was smashing into the mass of purple energy. Boom!!
The ground shook but made no sound. A mushroom cloud appeared in the sky and again, there was no noise. That glaring light vanished the instant it appeared because a black hole was manifested in the sky, as if a portal to a different world had been opened up. The blood-soaked person was diving toward the purple-blood dragons on the ground!
“Go to hell!!” Su Ping shouted as he punched out. He was able to crack the space with every punch.
Those purple-blood dragons were either at the Ocean State or the Void State. Even though they were pooling their strength, they were unable to withstand the fierce punch. They were all instantly wounded. Bang! Bang! Bang! Su Ping dashed around madly to attack the purple-blood dragons. None of them were left unhurt. They were either severely wounded or killed on the spot.
The dragons of other kinds were shivering in fear at the sight of that mad person. No other creature had ever had the guts to make such a scene at that holy mountain. He had killed so many purple-blood dragons. Is he going to finish them all?!
As they stared at the demonic human, the dragons wondered if they should lend a hand to the purple dragons. While they still pondered over that choice, Su Ping had already finished more than a dozen purple-blood dragons.
The Void State beasts tried to put up shields, but even that was not enough to stop them from being killed by Su Ping! Before he knew it, Su Ping had attained the Fist of Exorcist’s second level. Adding his base strength, he could be comparable to the Fate State; crushing dragons at the Void State was a piece of cake for him.
I’ll finish them all! While Su Ping had previously shown mercy to those purple-blood dragons, he didn’t think twice to kill them at the moment. He spared no strength.
He didn’t mind the counter attacks, nor did he try to defend! Soon, a purple-blood dragon seized a perfect chance and crushed Su Ping’s head. Still, he came back to life the next second; he was at his prime state again. White bones climbed over him. He burned his blood to increase his strength for the killing.
“You are the one. Don’t you run!”
Su Ping noticed the purple-blood dragon he had ridden on. Su Ping wore his black hair down and he was soaked in blood. He forced his way forward, pushing away from the other dragons and stepping toward that particular dragon. That purple-blood dragon was so scared that its scales were turning pale. The coldness was long gone from that pair of dragon eyes; fear had replaced it. The dragon had never imagined that the human could be that crazy. Instead of apologizing, he had started a killing spree!
That lowly being was a creature that had exceeded its wildest imaginations. The most confounding thing of all was that Su Ping was able to revive. Two times he had died and yet returned to life on the spot. The dragon had started to wonder if Su Ping was at the Star Rank.
If so, Su Ping would have simply his ability to manipulate time and none of them would have had the ability to land a strike back. “You! Don’t you come over!” Su Ping was moving closer with vigorous strides. The purple-blood dragon was no longer able to push down its fear.
Never did it think that it would be afraid of an outside creature and would beg for mercy, right at their home base. “Go to hell!” Su Ping replied to that call for mercy with a bellow. He stepped across the void and stomped on the dragon’s back. It was as if Su Ping were carrying a mountain on his back. The dragon was pinned to the ground and then Su Ping punched the dragon’s head.
The purple-blood dragon’s cry barely came out when its head was split up. The warm brains were spilled over Su Ping. He didn’t even put up his astral shield. He was a fully unleashed wild beast. After killing that dragon, Su Ping turned around and glared at the others.
The purple-blood dragons that were eager to fight Su Ping were completely intimidated at the moment.
They never thought that such an unworthy being would ever deter them.
Them, the dragons! Of all the creatures in the universe, they were the best ones, the kings!
But a human was making them feel afraid!
Astonishment was not the only common sensation; humiliation was also felt. And yet, upon seeing the blood-stained human and the brains of their peers, the anger that was formerly inspired by the humiliation had instantly died down. That was not a human; it was a demon that had crawled out from hell. The dragons were stepping backward. They would wait for any of the big shots that Su Ping had alerted to arrive and execute him.
The dragons from other breeds were staring in pure astonishment as Su Ping stood in the pool of blood while no other dragon dared to approach him. How shocking this was; nothing of the sort had ever happened in that place. They would have never believed it if they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes.
“Tell me. Where is the dragon origin?”
Su Ping glared at a purple-blood dragon in front of him.
The purple-blood dragon was shivering; it was clearly intimidated. “Lowlife, you won’t have your way for long. Wait for our saint to come… That will be the time you die!”
“But you won’t live long enough to even say that!”
Su Ping tore up the space and reached the purple-blood dragon directly. He was merely the size of a single dragon scale, and yet the dragon trembled even more violently as Su Ping stood next to him.
Boom!
Su Ping instantly threw a punch, and the dazzling light illuminated the pupils of that purple-blood dragon. Light flooded in the next moment, and the huge dragon head burst open.
There was broken space around that crushed head. Even the space had been torn open!
Su Ping turned over and shouted at another purple-blood dragon. “Where is the dragon origin? Tell me!!”
The dragon was shivering after seeing the miserable death of its peer. The one that Su Ping had just killed had been at the Void State, while this new dragon was merely at the Ocean State.
Since not even a stronger one stood a chance, the dragon at the Ocean State felt that death was at its door. While Su Ping was a tiny human being, he was the gravest danger in the whole world.
The dragon could not help but step back. “The, the dragon origin is at the peak of the mountain. Go ahead if death is what you desire!” The dragon’s voice was trembling. “The peak?”
Su Ping stopped and gazed at the mountain top.
There was a staircase that led to the mountain top.
Without further ado, Su Ping flew toward the peak.
Completely appalled, no purple-blood dragon stepped forward to stop him. Several thousand meters into the sky, Su Ping suddenly felt some force was pressing down on him. He made an effort to go higher and that force was becoming stronger.
Having no other choice, Su Ping descended to the ground. The mysterious force disappeared as he landed on that staircase.
“He was able to reach the seven thousand meters mark!”
“I cannot believe he just resisted the rule set up by our Lord!”
“Utterly inconceivable!”
The dragons, be it purple-blooded or not, were equally shocked at what Su Ping had done. There were rules in force on the mountain!
From the hillside and above, creatures that weren’t purple-blood dragons were barred from flying and that was one of the rules! Su Ping had ascended up to seven thousand meters even when such a rule was in effect, which was unimaginable. The dragons at the Fate State wouldn’t have been able to do so. Whoosh!
As the force confining him disappeared, Su Ping dashed as he went up the staircase. The bolts of lightning surrounding his feet generated many afterimages. Su Ping pressed on with speed and agility as if he were nothing but a puff of smoke. He was running even faster than he was flying.
There must be a dragon at the star rank at the top of the mountain…
Su Ping thought of what the purple-blood dragons had just mentioned. The mountain top was hiding in the clouds. The mountain was simply too high for him to see it completely. Regardless, Su Ping was not going to give up! Su Ping’s blood was burning and the Little Skeleton kept on transmitting strength to him so that he was able to use his full speed at all times.
He was traveling much, much faster than sound, at a speed of two to three thousand meters per second. Titled battle pet warriors would be unable to see him in this state. However, even with such a fast speed, it took him over a dozen minutes before he arrived at the mountain top!
Boom!
Something whooshed over when his foot landed on the last step of the stairs. There was a tremor, and Su Ping was almost knocked off the staircase.
Fortunately, thanks to his rich experience, Su Ping managed to stabilize himself. He gazed into the distance. On the horizon of that vast and flat land lay a purple lake. The purple water was giving off a mysterious ar
oma and Su Ping also sensed a strong presence of dragons. Su Ping quickly inquired about this to the system. “Is that the dragon origin?” “That is correct.”
Su Ping nodded and sighed gently. Finally, he had found it. The dragon origin was right in front of him. Su Ping took a deep breath. He peeled his gaze off from the lake and glanced at the many figures on the sides that could not be ignored. All of them were purple-blood dragons! There were eight of them in total. Each of them was larger than the ones Su Ping had seen at the hillside. They were nearly five hundred meters tall, larger than the dragon at the Fate State that Su Ping had exerted himself to slay!
There was something immensely powerful about those purple-blood dragons. And yet, what he had learned from the Demigod Burial told him that the eight were at the very peak of the Fate State and not the Star Rank. They lacked a certain aura of the Star Rank.
Soon after, Su Ping saw another purple-blood dragon he did not notice just then!
That was one over one thousand meters long and with dusty purple scales. The purple-blood dragon was lying on top its limbs by the lake. The dragon kept its eyes half-open; still, it pierced Su Ping with a stare that was void of all emotions.
Su Ping felt a chill running down his spine. Even though it was just a stare, it made him want to shiver.
Star Rank!
There was no question. That purple-blood dragon was at the Star Rank!
However scared he was, Su Ping didn’t step back. He had made it thus far. That was the final step. “How do I revive the Inferno Dragon with the dragon origin?” Su Ping asked the system. To that, the system explained, “Let the Inferno Dragon’s soul soak in the dragon origin and the dragon origin will help the Inferno Dragon rebuild its body. The dragon origin’s nature is kind to all dragons.” That explained it. Su Ping took a step forward.
Boom!
An intangible force was in effect. One of the dragons used a skill that had not only confined the space around Su Ping, but also turned the air into a hammer that was coming down on Su Ping. Su Ping unleashed all of his strength to withstand the blow but cracks had started to show up on the white bones. “How can it be?” One of the purple-blood dragons resting on the right side wore a surprised look. It was astounding that Su Ping had survived that strike.
“You lowlife. How dare you break into our sacred mountain? Your entire race shall be exterminated!” That purple-blood dragon made a verdict. Hardly had its voice faded away when space around Su Ping was split up. From the cracks came many swords formed by the void. Su Ping hurried to wave his fist. However, those swords were incredibly sharp and fast; they had cut him into pieces within a mere second.
Bang!
Blood rained down.
However, the blood rain disappeared the next second, and Su Ping came back into being on the spot. “That is not right.” As Su Ping’s revival came into effect, the purple-blood dragons opened their eyes wide. Surprise was seen inside their formerly calm eyes.
“Time travel?”
The purple-blood dragon that was resting by the lake squinted its eyes. That should be a skill mastered only by those at the Star Rank or above, but the human was definitely not one of them.
“I don’t think the human himself used the skill.”
“Did he use some sort of artifact?” The purple-blood dragons’ eyes glimmered with greed as they discussed the possibility.
Such a treasure!
It would be appealing to them as well. “Indeed, you must have something up your sleeve for daring to come up here after what you did down there. But, no matter what ace cards you have, you will have to hand them over to us.”
The purple-blood dragon that landed the previous strike on Su Ping snarled. Once it made its intention clear, swords made from the void snuck out from the space around Su Ping again. He disregarded the swords. He had merged with the Little Skeleton and started to run at full speed. His goal was to reach the dragon origin! No matter what the cost was, he had to get the Inferno Dragon into the dragon origin!
Bang!
Those sharp void swords were cutting Su Ping up. That purple-blood dragon was at the peak of the Fate State and all it needed was an inspiration to reach the Star Rank. That dragon was much more powerful than the dragons Su Ping had encountered at the hillside. Revival!
He resumed his charge as soon as he revived! “How?”
The purple-blood dragon was unable to believe Su Ping’s revival could be repeated.
The dragon conjured up void swords right in front of Su Ping. The dragon was going to completely annihilate him! “Go away!!” Su Ping screamed as he punched out!
He ignored the strikes coming at him from behind and he pushed his way forward! With a bang and a shake, the swords of void were crushed. But the sword light that remained did leave many marks on the white bones, as well as the areas unprotected by the white bones. Su Ping was once again drenched in blood.
Regardless, Su Ping dashed on. That purple-blood dragon was full of wrath. The dragon produced many swords yet again.
This time, Su Ping was unable to survive. The moment he died, he came back to life again and continued his effort of moving along.
Each time, before he was killed, he was able to move several thousand meters ahead.
He died, time after time, but he was able to send the Inferno Dragon closer to the dragon origin.
The purple-blood dragon was livid with rage. It was unethical for anyone to employ such dishonest methods. It had killed Su Ping a dozen times over but he came back to life every time. Enough was enough! “He’s trying to get to the dragon origin!”
“Stop him! He is just a lowlife. We cannot allow him to soil the dragon origin.” The purple-blood dragons readied themselves, having realized what Su Ping intended to do. Several purple-blood dragons at the peak of the Fate State attacked Su Ping simultaneously; he died yet again and of course, he came back to life yet again. As soon as he could breathe again, he would merge with the Little Skeleton and charge forth for a few thousand meters.
Bang!
Unsurprisingly, he walked to his death. “Damn him. How can he come back to life so many times?!”
“What kind of artifact can that be?”.
The purple-blood dragons were hopping mad. Their strikes were relentless and so were su Ping’s revivals. Their strikes couldn’t be said to be useless because they managed to kill Su Ping every time. It was just that killing him was no good. Like a haunting ghost, his evil lifeforce lingered on, completely ignoring the dragons.
After over a hundred deaths, finally, Su Ping reached the dragon origin.
Right then, the purple-blood dragon at the Star Rank said something, “You’re not a dragon. Why do you insist on getting the dragon origin?” The purple-blood dragons stopped their futile efforts and eyed Su Ping coldly. “I want to bring my dragon pet back to life. I have to borrow the dragon origin,” Su Ping stated.
Su Ping was surprised after having answered that question. It wasn’t done out of his own free will. That dragon was able to make him speak without himself being aware. “Dragon pet?” The old dragon calmly asked, “Is it one of us? Let me see. Maybe, I just might let you use some of the dragon origin to bring your dragon back to life.”
Su Ping summoned the Inferno Dragon after a moment of hesitation. There wasn’t much to do at this point. The Inferno Dragon came out in that Soul Nurturer.
After a surge of red smoke, the Inferno Dragon’s image showed up on that translucent blade of grass. The Inferno Dragon was startled to see so many powerful dragons gathered in one place. “Is that an Inferno Dragon?”
“I think so…”
An Inferno Dragon was not what the purple-blooded dragons had expected to see. All of them supposed that Su Ping was going to summon one of their kind, or a dragon of the other major species here. Little did they know that the dragon Su Ping had spoken of was one that didn’t even have a legendary-rank bloodline.
Inferno Dragons did call the Realm of Purple-blood Dragons home but they were counted among the weak residents.
As far as the purple-blood dragons were concerned, Inferno Dragons were nothing worth mentioning and they never even saw Inferno Dragons as their own kind.
The old dragon was visibly surprised as well. Why would Su Ping use such a pathetic dragon as his pet when he had such powers? “Do you honestly want to use our dragon origin to bring this sorry little thing back to life?”
“That is not worthy of the dragon name.”
“I wouldn’t even take it as my food. It’s too dirty.”
The purple-blood dragons didn’t hide their contempt.
The old dragon had cooled down. The surprise was ebbing out of its face. “Is that the dragon you want to bring back to life?”
What the other dragons said made Su Ping clench his fists. He looked up at the old dragon and replied, “Indeed. You have so much dragon origin. If you can let me take a share, I am willing to trade with something of an equal value. You will have nothing to lose.”
“That won’t be necessary.” The old dragon sneered.
All of a sudden, the Inferno Dragon put on a painful look and the soul was ripped into nothingness. Su Ping could not believe that. Su Ping felt even the passage of time had stopped when the soul disappeared right in front of his eyes. He could not feel a thing. He lowered his head. His body was shaking uncontrollably. “All the purple-blood dragons should be wiped out…” he mumbled. He did not shout, nor cry; it seemed that he was talking to himself. He requested for the Inferno Dragon to return to life. The dispersed soul of the Inferno Dragon came back. Of course, it came back as a soul. The Inferno Dragon was still Su Ping’s battle pet and could be revived in that cultivation site! “What?”
The old dragon, as well as the other purple-blood dragons, were shocked and even frightened upon seeing the revival. Su Ping was not the only one who could come back to life. Even his pet could! They were killing Su Ping again and again but the Little Skeleton was not a creature that could be killed. As such, the dragons had not realized that Su Ping was able to bring his pet back to life.
“Go. Go into the dragon origin,” Su Ping told the Inferno Dragon. The Inferno Dragon floated toward the lake. The old dragon snarled.
“How dare you!” Bzzing!
The huge dragon stood up. The dusty color faded away from its scales which were shining in all radiance. The old dragon didn’t strike the Inferno Dragon. Since Su Ping was able to revive it, no amount of strikes would be of any use.
The old dragon merely had the intention to show that such a pathetic dragon was unworthy of entering the dragon origin.
The Inferno Dragon didn’t dare to go forward, all because of the large dragon’s deterrent force. Even though it was just a soul, the Inferno Dragon was shuddering.
The Inferno Dragon had met many Star ranked creatures with Su Ping and in the Chaotic Realm of the Undead; they had encountered things that they couldn’t even describe. The Inferno Dragon was not a timid dragon. However, at this moment, the old dragon was directly targeting the Inferno Dragon.
That was not the same. The deep-rooted authority made the Inferno Dragon cringe with dread, as if it were facing one of its deeply ingrained fears.
The old dragon laughed with disdain. “Is that what your dragon can do?”
Su Ping opened his eyes wide and shouted hysterically, “Keep moving. Keep moving!! Do not be afraid. One day, I will make you the most powerful dragon in this entire world!!”
