Chapter 381 - 381 Chapter 381: Heart of the Ancient Tree
Of course, Emperor Tote’s intention was to drag more in hopes that the effect would wear off and he would regain control of his body’s Qi. However, it didn’t look like Luan was willing to give him that chance.
It was also at this moment that a small purple dragon slammed into Emperor Tote’s body.
Emperor Tote, who had his Qi out of control, spat out a lot of blood. A headbutt impact from such a small dragon shouldn’t be able to injure him, however, because of his chaotic Qi, he was injured.
The little purple dragon retreated and re-entered Luan’s body.
“White Emperor, let’s talk... I, was I wrong, I’ll give everything I have for letting me go, what do you think of that?” Emperor Tote tried to negotiate. Although the wound inflicted on him wasn’t heavy, it was enough to scare him even more. He sounded sincere when he said that, since the fear for his life was real.
After all, cultivators of his level who had an almost infinite lifespan with great power were more afraid of death than losing everything he had, since with his power he could conquer everything again as long as he was alive.
Luan was in his best shape, and on top of that, the Leviathan merged with him, giving him a large amount of Qi, giving Emperor Tote no hope of being able to escape, let alone defeat him.
“I want your ability to absorb Qi,” Luan said frankly.
.....
Emperor Tote looks surprised. Instantly, his expression turned ugly; His heart sank and he cursed in his heart: ‘Son of a bitch!’
“Heh... It doesn’t look like you’re willing to give in.” Luan was already expecting this.
“Wait, wait!” Coming back to himself, Emperor Tote said hastily as he took a few steps back and looked at Luan warily.
His breathing became more ragged, he bit his lip and was considering it heavily.
What did it mean for him to surrender that ability?
Of course, the reason was that it wasn’t actually just a skill, if it was, he wouldn’t be considered for so long since it was his life that was at stake.
‘Curse!’ Emperor Tote’s eyes turned red, it was as if he was about to cry.
It was hard to believe that someone like him would have such a reaction, however, the next instant, he placed his hand on his chest, piercing chest, and he brought something out of his chest.
Holding the green heart-shaped object, Emperor Tote took a deep breath and forced himself to say, “This is not a skill, but the heart of an ancient tree capable of creating invisible roots and sucking out Qi.”
Luan’s cold smile became more and more obvious. What he heard was better than he expected.
This was no different from the volcano heart he’d given Ingrid.
Wasn’t that even a higher grade?
“Give me that, and I’ll let you go,” Luan said.
Even now, Emperor Tote was reluctant to surrender. Closing his eyes tightly, he took another deep breath and threw the green heart towards Luan.
The instant Luan held the green heart, he could feel that it was very mystical, and it didn’t look like Emperor Tote was lying. After a few seconds of analysis, he realizes that this is what Emperor Tote said.
“Okay, you can go,” Luan said indifferently.
As he promised to let him go, Luan would deliver.
Emperor Tote was afraid that Luan would go back on his word but saw that he let him go. Despite feeling extremely sad and very angry about losing the ancient tree’s heart, he ran away as fast as he could, afraid that Luan would change his mind.
With a happy smile, Luan caressed the heart, then made the Leviathan leave his body, and said slowly, “This will be yours.”
“Shhh~”
As if he understood what Luan said, the Leviathan now in the form of a sword transmitted a sound that seemed to be of joy.
Luan held the sword hilt, at the same time, made a large anvil appear before him.
“Shhhh!”
A happy sound sounded as Leviathan was laid flat on the anvil. Immediately, the Leviathan’s temperature rose, and was in a state of hot iron.
Luan took the heart of the ancient tree and placed it on top of the Leviathan.
Making a big hammer appear in his right hand, Luan starts hammering hard.
*Beng! Beng! Beng...!*
A metallic sound echoed off the mountain.
Meanwhile, many kilometers away from where Luan was, Emperor Tote was cursing as he flew at full speed.
“Ahhhh!”
He suddenly screamed loudly as his skin started to turn purple!
“Yeah, what the fuck is this?” Emperor Tote looked at his hands and felt increasingly weak and unbearable pain inflicting his entire body.
It was also at this moment that he remembered the little purple dragon that had headbutted him before...
“Son of a whore!” Emperor Tote understood right away. The White Emperor never thought of letting him out alive. From the beginning when you promised to let him go, it was because you had poisoned him...
“White Emperor, I curse you! If I survive, I swear on all that is most holy that I will kill everyone you love and then kill you!!!” Screaming maniacally, Emperor Tote took all sorts of antidotes he had.
However, the desired reaction did not happen, the poison in his body seemed to get worse at an even faster rate. Spitting purple blood, he felt colossal rage, however, it was too late to do anything.
It only took a few seconds for the poison to infiltrate his entire body and then, it started to fall from the sky.
*Boom!*
With a loud, heavy sound, Emperor Tote’s body sank to the ground.
“Roar...”
Strangely, from Emperor Tote’s body, a little purple dragon came out and with its claws, grabbed his clothes and began to float...
.
.
The moment Luan finished fusing the ancient tree’s heart with Leviathan, a little purple dragon flying overhead while carrying a corpse appeared.
With a smile, Luan said to the little purple dragon: “Good job.”
“Roar~!”
With a childish dragon roar, the little purple dragon dropped the corpse near Luan’s foot, then began to spin around him.
Looking at the expression with which Emperor Tote died, Luan could imagine how much hate he had when he died.
Even seeing this, Luan didn’t feel shaken. From the beginning, he allowed him to go after handing over the ancient tree’s heart, however, this was after he had already poisoned Emperor Tote with poison and left the purple little dragon’s real body inside Emperor Tote’s body while making a copy. back into his body, tricking Emperor Tote from the start.
Holding the Leviathan, Luan said slowly, “Try to absorb his Qi.”
“Shhh!”
With a noise, Leviathan which was aimed at Emperor Tote’s corpse jumped out of invisible wires that connected with the corpse.
The corpse, which no longer looked good, begins to dry visibly with the naked eye.
What was happening was beyond what Luan expected. It wasn’t just the Qi that the ancient tree’s heart was able to suck, even the stamina that was left in the corpse was being sucked away...
Even if it’s the corpse, Emperor Tote died a short time ago and he had a lot of vigor in his body. The amount was so great that the Leviathan whirled in the air while emitting happy hums.
The increase in power also made him smarter, regaining the wisdom he once had.
Luan, seeing this, warned: “You are only allowed to suck the vigor of whoever I allow, okay?”
“Shhh...” Leviathan emitted another buzz, seeming to agree with Luan’s words.
Luan nodded satisfied. He was also looking forward to when the Leviathan rose higher and higher. He hoped it would even surpass the power he had in his previous life.
