After visiting Zhao Jue, he left the base at Dao Kan Mountain.
Su Heng returned to Dragon Abyss and stayed there for several days. On one hand, he was collecting various materials to deepen his understanding of the Demon Descendants as a race. On the other hand, he was capturing Demon Descendants who had fortunately escaped and survived the war.
Having obtained the complete Dragon Skeleton, Su Heng also planned a comprehensive upgrade for the Dragon Guards.
The special talents possessed by these Demon Descendants were, for Su Heng, simply the best experimental materials.
Being able to escape from such a massive explosion, these Demon Descendants were either extremely powerful, or they possessed some kind of special life-saving talent. Regrettably, in front of Su Heng, they were like rats scurrying around in a gutter. One after another, they were targeted and captured without any room for resistance.
Rumbling!
Inside a hidden cave.
Violent shaking sounds came from outside the cave walls. As cracks spread, large amounts of stone dust sprinkled down from the ceiling.
Inside was a demon descendant girl with a delicate appearance, holding two long swords, now biting her lips until they turned white.
Bang!A loud noise burst with an air wave.
The thick wall in front of her exploded, and Su Heng’s burly figure cast a huge shadow, with only wisps of light radiating from his shoulders.
Through the gap under Su Heng’s arms and between his legs, the girl saw a scene shrouded in flames outside.
Many powerful Demon Descendants lay in pools of blood, with heavy smoke billowing, and a huge dragon-headed hound opened its bloody maw, gnawing at their flesh. These were her fellows and seniors, now reduced to the food of vile demons.
The female demon descendant felt a surge of rage welling up, uncontrollable like an erupting volcano.
"You should die!” she screamed. With a body that seemed to flow like light, she darted toward Su Heng, her long swords enveloped in a buzzing white airflow, aiming straight for Su Heng’s chest.
Faced with the girl’s sudden eruption, Su Heng seemed taken aback. The two long swords, one high and one low, landed on him without any obstruction. A trace of ecstasy mixed with tears and sobs crossed the girl’s face, twisted into an indescribable and laughable expression.
But in the next instant—
Crack!
Accompanied by two crisp snapping sounds, the girl’s expression instantly stiffened into horror.
Her long-prepared full-force blow landed on Su Heng.
It only pierced a layer of clothing, unable to inflict any damage, and instead the long swords in her hands had given out first!
Hiss—
A tide of overwhelming fear swept over her like dark waves.
The girl gasped desperately, her body flickered rapidly, trying to find a way to bypass Su Heng.
But before she could move, she looked up to see a huge palm enlarging in her view. Before it even struck down, her hair and clothes were already fluttering wildly. Despair surfaced in her dark pupils, followed by a blackout and searing pain.
The girl’s head was smacked against the wall beside her like a fly, by Su Heng’s casual strike.
"Huh!” Su Heng nodded in satisfaction, “Another one.”
He didn’t look any further and turned away.
Then, the blood-stained Qiong Qi walked in from outside, raised its head, and took a glance. The girl’s face was already a wreck, her features twisted beyond recognition. She now clung to life solely by the Demon Descendant’s innate vitality, but even so, she was reduced to basic reflex responses.
Qiong Qi sniffed with its nose, detecting a lingering scent spreading from the lower body.
Su Heng had been raising Qiong Qi like a hunting dog, integrating it into his own role. Qiong Qi did not mind and opened its mouth to tear off the girl’s limbs tainted with filth, then carried the mutilated body outside. In the valley, a scarlet rift had opened, leading into the inner space of the Blood Furnace.
Originally, the Blood Furnace could not store living things.
Because this place was essentially an extension of Su Heng’s stomach, there was no air, and the environment was extremely harsh, all living things entering would be digested.
But now, with a torrent of attribute points pouring in, the inner space of the Blood Furnace had expanded significantly, and Su Heng’s control over it had become more exquisite. Combined with the authority of the Seed of Destruction, Su Heng created a “Parasitic Plain” inside as a place to store living creatures.
Standing in front of the rift, Qiong Qi dared to sneak a peek inside.
It then saw on a red plain full of tentacles and slime, huge egg-like structures standing erect.
The eggs were amber-colored, semi-transparent. With keen eyesight, Qiong Qi could vaguely see the various mutilated bodies placed inside; some had their heads smashed, but still maintained basic life signs due to the function of the tentacles and nutrient fluids.
Qiong Qi couldn’t help shivering.
Although it was a naturally gifted demon with a brutal nature, in front of Su Heng, it felt like a minnow beside a whale.
Just then, a cool breeze blew, and Qiong Qi instinctively tightened its tail.
It looked up.
Saw Su Heng walking towards the outside of the valley.
Qiong Qi dared not delay, hurriedly tossed its head, and dropped the female demon descendant’s body on the plain. A new egg quickly formed on the plain, its tentacles connecting to it, forming a special symbiotic entity.
After throwing the remaining Demon Descendants inside, Qiong Qi smacked its lips, its job well done.
Crack!
Su Heng tore a piece of cloth from himself.
He cleaned off the bloodstains from his hands.
Then he took out a heavy slab from his bosom, scratching off the last line of characters on it with his fingernail.
Su Heng nodded in satisfaction and squeezed his hand, turning the slab into fragments that he casually tossed aside.
With that, the affairs within Dragon Abyss were conclusively ended.
It was time to leave.
…
…
…
In the days Su Heng hunted Demon Descendants in Dragon Abyss, the various deeds that took place were spreading at an astonishing rate throughout the entire dynasty, becoming known by countless powers.
Previously, Su Heng had engaged in a battle with King Dingtian, which had shocked many.
But that battle had not truly resulted in a clear victor.
Moreover, King Dingtian was one of the lesser entities in the realm of Heavenly Kings and was gravely injured to boot.
So the value of that fight was, in fact, not particularly significant.
It simply made some major powers take note of such a person—
Someone who should not be provoked lightly under normal circumstances.
But if it were a question of fear, with the aloof character of the ancient sects and noble families, it’s evident they did not take Su Heng very seriously.
Including the previous instance when the third prince sent people to probe, it likely reflected a similar attitude.
But what happened this time in Dragon Abyss was wholly different!
King Dingtian fell at the hands of Su Heng.
King Qingyang was defeated.
And in that last battle with Simmons, the earthshaking explosion was intense.
Even if it was just viewed through the projection stone, feeling a fraction of its power was enough to turn faces pale and set hearts racing. Whole stretches of mountains and rivers, like piles of sand, were flattened by an invisible mighty hand. The vast earth could not bear such force, the sky seemed to tilt, a truly apocalyptic and horrific scene!
Especially since afterwards, various forces investigating the battlefield came out with astounding results.
Just the powerful beings who died directly from the aftermath of the explosion—
Seventeen in the Earth Immortal Realm, and even more so, over a hundred beyond the third step of Heavenly Deceit.
As for those who were injured, those whose cultivation was too weak and were directly vaporized, and those Demon Descendants and monsters that died on the battlefield,
The numbers were countless, impossible to calculate.
With Su Heng’s current strength, he completely had the qualifications to single-handedly raze ancient sects and noble families with thousands of years of heritage to the ground. And after defeating two Heavenly Kings in succession, Su Heng now regarded the Great Zhou Dynasty with a measure of indifference.
And what was even more terrifying was that the complete Dragon Skeleton had fallen into Su Heng’s hands.
Based on the timeline, only part of the Dragon Skeleton had been refined. This meant that, despite Su Heng’s already formidable strength, with the support of a substantial amount of Dragon Blood Essence, he could still continue to grow at high speed, reaching a terrifying realm that was unfathomable!
Boundless terror in strength, an extreme domineering mode of action, and the countless strong beings who died in the aftereffects of that explosion.
All of these combined quickly earned Su Heng a unique title—
The Northern Border Demon Dragon!
…
As the title of Northern Border Demon Dragon grew increasingly widespread, causing untold anxiety among countless powers, Su Heng had already concealed his whereabouts and, according to the agreement, made his way to King Qingyang’s residence for a visit.
Beiyue State.
Inside a somewhat dark hall.
On both sides stood vermilion dragon pillars, the hall was over thirty meters high, and the bluestone floor below was shiny enough to reflect one’s image.
Sunlight poured through the open door, illuminating only a small portion of the hall, while the rest remained pitch black, faintly revealing a large vermilion chair on the platform above.
Whoosh!
Accompanied by a gust of demonic wind, dust and leaves were stirred up from the ground.
Su Heng’s towering figure appeared outside the hall’s entrance, first looking up to see the three big characters “Yangxin Palace” inscribed on the door plaque. The script was black as if seared by some flame, giving off a hot, hasty sensation that assaulted the senses.
Withdrawing his gaze, he stepped into the hall.
The air was permeated with a strong scent of medicinal liquid, and beside him stood two samurai in golden armor, holding long spears.
Seeing a stranger suddenly appear, the two samurai first showed astonishment. Then, quickly regaining their composure, they gripped their long spears across their chests, the gleaming blades pointed at Su Heng’s throat.
"Who are you?” one of them asked warily.
He could not sense the strength of Su Heng’s aura at all, but such a robust figure, appearing so suddenly next to them without any notice, this man’s strength was simply unfathomable. Therefore, despite the gold-armored samurai’s extreme nervousness, he dared not act rashly.
Without answering, Su Heng’s gaze leisurely lifted upwards.
"Cough cough!” From deep within the hall, a series of soft coughs emanated from the platform, followed by the slightly weak and serene voice of King Qingyang, as refreshing as a spring breeze, “This is a friend of mine, you may stand down.”
