Chapter 1492: The Panicked Ancient Dragon Empress
After hearing about the potential holy blood reward, Merlin and Ca.s.sidy’s eyes were smoldering with the flames of hope!
Unprecedented heaven crus.h.i.+ng powers erupted from their bodies.
“The heaven is nothing!” Ca.s.sidy looked at the Ancient Dragon Empress as her aura became more and more dangerous.
Merlin’s expression was extremely firm. “For the blood of the Holy Leader, I’ll crush anything, even the very heaven itself!”
One’s dao originated from one’s heart.
The heaven crus.h.i.+ng dao also originated from one’s heart.
However, their yearning for holy blood was by far the most significant driving force in their hearts. They were even able to further elevate their heaven crus.h.i.+ng true intent by drawing upon this burning desire!
It was just like what Merlin had said. For the blood of the Holy Leader, they could crush anything, even the heavens!
The Ancient Dragon Empress’ expression s.h.i.+fted drastically. “Attaining the heaven crus.h.i.+ng dao through motivation from one’s desires? That’s not entirely implausible, but how could their heaven crus.h.i.+ng true intent be amplified to such a ridiculous extent? This doesn’t make any sense!”
Boom boom!
Two sonic booms erupted.
The two of them hurtled toward the Ancient Dragon Empress at an extremely fast speed.
Crimson sword intent erupted from Ca.s.sidy’s body while ghostly energy revolved around Merlin.
Both of them had unleashed extremely astonis.h.i.+ng powers, as if they were going to blast through the heavens!
“Heaven Piercing Sword!” Ca.s.sidy let loose a clear cry as she raised her crimson sword to the sky before bringing it down with a crus.h.i.+ng force, coloring the entire heaven and earth crimson.
“Heaven Slaying Ghosts!” Merlin summoned countless inky-black souls, and ghosts wailed as demons howled, creating bursts of overwhelming negative emotions that threatened to tear the entire sky apart.
The Ancient Dragon Empress stood at the very center of the energy vortex, as if she were the heavens they were trying to obliterate. She knew that her True Dragon soundwaves wouldn’t be enough to break through these spell techniques. These two were very powerful!
She clenched her fists tightly. Two golden dragons revolved around her arms as she launched two almighty fists toward her two a.s.sailants.
“Howl…!” a thunderous roar erupted.
The golden dragons were imbued with extremely formidable power, and both of them hurtled toward the crimson sword and the dark souls.
Golden light vanquished all evil and blasted through the crimson sky.
Anguished ghostly wails and the sound of the crimson sword being shattered erupted through the air.
The entire heaven and earth was colored golden at that moment.
Merlin and Ca.s.sidy both threw up blood at the same time before tumbling to the ground.
“It’s over.” The Ancient Dragon Empress remained standing the spot with unyielding pride in her eyes.
“It’s over?”
Ca.s.sidy stood up and wiped the blood from the corners of her lips as she tightened her grip on her crimson sword.
“It’s never over!” Merlin also stood up as a waterfall of extremely dense and viscous ghostly energy converged behind him.
“It’s never over until we defeat you!” Ca.s.sidy announced.
“It’s never over until we get our holy blood!” Merlin roared.
Raphaella’s pupils contracted upon seeing this. “Their heaven crus.h.i.+ng true intent is being elevated once again? This… How is this possible?”
“For the holy blood!”
“Charge!”
Merlin summoned a Heaven Slaying Demon over ten thousand feet tall.
Ca.s.sidy materialized sixteen Heaven Piercing Crimson Swords capable of pulverizing all things.
The two of them charged toward the Ancient Dragon Empress again.
“Roar!” The Heaven Slaying Demon spread open its inky-black claws, which crashed down toward the Ancient Dragon Empress.
Golden dragons revolved around the Ancient Dragon Empress’ fists again, which she launched toward the Heaven Slaying Demon.
A violent collision ensued.
The Heaven Slaying Demon was almost torn apart by the Ancient Dragon Empress’ golden dragons. However, the Ancient Dragon Empress was knocked back a few steps. This was the first time she had moved from that spot!
Right at this moment, sixteen crimson swords tore through the air with overwhelming power, threatening to pulverize the heavens! They painted the entire sky red, and it was as if the heaven was weeping tears of blood in their presence!
The Ancient Dragon Empress was struck by a sense of danger.
How could this be? She was the fourth heavenly disciple of the Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Sect! How could she be threatened by two newbies who had only been cultivating in Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Techniques for ten days?
“Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Armor.” Her semi-transparent armor appeared around her body again.
At this moment, the crimson swords had already descended upon her.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Sword intent swept through the air and tore at the Ancient Dragon Empress’ armor viciously.
A series of crisp cracks erupted.
The Ancient Dragon Empress was astonished to discover that her armor was being cracked open!
“What terrifying heaven crus.h.i.+ng intent…” The Ancient Dragon Empress was shocked.
She gritted her teeth, and a yellow divine light revolved around her finger as she pointed a finger forward.
“Heaven Crus.h.i.+ng Grinding Disc.”
A yellow power erupted from her fingertip.
The crimson swords and ma.s.sive demon were almost instantaneously destroyed by that power.
Merlin and Ca.s.sidy were blasted flying again.
The Ancient Dragon Empress was panting slightly, clearly having expended a lot of her power to unleash that technique.
“To think that they forced Master into using her true heaven crus.h.i.+ng power…” Raphaella had initially thought that these trials would be nothing more than a warm-up for her master, but she was clearly wrong.
Liu Qianhuan’s prodigious talent had struck her with a sense of shock and awe, but these two desperate Blood Tribe mighty figures struck her with a hint of fear…
To her surprise, Ca.s.sidy and Merlin struggled to their feet again.
“We won’t give up until Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress is defeated! Eurgh…” Ca.s.sidy made a fervent announcement before throwing up a mouthful of blood.
“I won’t fall until I get my holy blood!” Merlin roared with unyielding determination and single-minded ferocity.
The Ancient Dragon Empress was starting to panic. What the f*ck was going on?! Was there no limit to their latent potential?
Thankfully, a pair of hands clamped down firmly upon the shoulders of this maniacal Blood Tribe duo.
“That’s enough,” An Lin said with a stern expression.
“But…” Tears of indignation welled up in Ca.s.sidy’s eyes.
“You two would be dead if Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress hadn’t held back. You won’t be able to defeat her, but you’ve done very well already.” An Lin smiled.
In reality, their performance had already far exceeded his expectations.
These two really could do anything for holy blood…
An Lin was finally able to convince these two to stand down after giving them a milliliter of holy blood each.
The Ancient Dragon Empress took a long time to recover her composure before speaking again, “Who’s next?”
“Teacher Ancient Dragon Empress, you still haven’t given your opinion on Merlin and Ca.s.sidy,” An Lin reminded her with a fawning expression.
The Ancient Dragon Empress’ face convulsed slightly. How was she supposed to rate two insane people?
In reality, she had been too fl.u.s.tered by this fanatic duo and had forgotten to appraise them…
The Ancient Dragon Empress turned toward An Lin with a fake smile as she spoke, “Both of them are exceptionally talented. They can fuel that heaven crus.h.i.+ng powers by drawing upon their innermost desires, which is a very rare and valuable skill. As such, Mr. An Lin should give them more blood as a reward in order to enhance their combat prowess…”
Ca.s.sidy and Merlin turned toward the Ancient Dragon Empress with a grateful expression before turning toward An Lin with a scorching light in their eyes.
What a fantastic appraisal!
An Lin: “…”
He felt like he had shot himself in the foot…
If he had known that this was going to happen, he wouldn’t have reminded the Ancient Dragon Empress to give her appraisal.
The Ancient Dragon Empress was a little pleased to have gotten one over An Lin, and she continued, “Who’s next?”
