Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord - Chapter 221

221 The Seventh Emperor Of The Ancient Empire

“D*mn b*stard!” yelled the Golden-Armored Emperor. “You dare steal my God’s Heart?!”

The gemstone pendant was called the God’s Heart. Having a God’s Heart meant that the person wearing it had reached Godhood and had a long lifespan.

“I, Lokas the Seventh, shall punish you!”

The entire ruins rumbled as though thunder was going to strike from somewhere. But they were underground. How could a thunder strike here?

!!
The bloody babies crawled out and made their way to Su Wan quickly.

“Xu Yuan, think of a way!” Su Wan was so scared that she didn’t want to take any chances. She immediately turned into her Demonic Dragon form.

The bloody babies made terrible sounds. It was horrifying!

Lightning accompanied the babies! Black lightning!

Black lightning poured down from the sky and headed toward Xu Yuan.

Su Wan understood at that point that Xu Yuan had done something. He had stirred up some trouble yet again, and the lightning was targeting him.

“Xu Yuan, just return whatever you stole!” said Su Wan.

She realized that Xu Yuan had stolen the gemstone pendant from the Golden-Armored Emperor, which caused the thunderbolts to descend on them.

Unfortunately, even if he returned the pendant, it wouldn’t matter. He had made the emperor angry.

Su Wan closed her eyes and waited for the thunderbolts to hit her. But nothing like that happened. When she opened her eyes, she saw that there was a strange force field surrounding her and Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan had activated the Original Field. The ability provided a force field that spanned a small area to keep them safe as long as they remained inside it.

However, Xu Yuan had upgraded it. It had another useful effect. A wave of energy enveloped them both.

BOOM!

The black lightning struck the force field. The barrier didn’t cave in. Instead, countless runes appeared around them. Su Wan saw everything clearly. The Original Field had taken them into an alternate dimension.

The black lightning couldn’t hit them!

Su Wan could still see the Golden-Armored Emperor and the bloody babies. She could also see the black lightning that filled the sky.

She could see it, but she was in another dimension altogether.

“Space power! To be able to use the power of space… who are you?” asked the Golden-Armored Emperor. He looked shocked.

As for Xu Yuan, he didn’t bother to respond. He absorbed the Elemental Heart.

The God’s heart, which was just another Elemental Heart, turned into energy and fused into one of the twelve energy balls at his back.

“Not bad!” said Xu Yuan. “The higher the level of the Elemental heart, the more powerful the effect is!”

Xu Yuan spread his wings and thunder roared around him. The thunderbolts were black.

The Elemental heart of the Golden-Armored Emperor was of the lightning attribute. Absorbing it strengthened Xu Yuan’s Lightning Element.

“My power!” roared the Golden-Armored Emperor. He wanted to take back his power.

However, Xu Yuan was in a different space. He could see them but couldn’t reach them. He could do nothing but stare at Xu Yuan.

“He seems to be disintegrating…,” said Su Wan as she pointed at the Golden-Armored Emperor in front of her.

Lokas the Seventh collapsed slowly without support from his God’s Heart.

Xu Yuan activated the True Eye of The Demon Dragon. He saw through the illusion. He understood that there was no such thing as immortality. It was only a futile obsession.

The Golden-Armored Emperor disintegrated and disappeared in thin air. The blood babies also disappeared with him.

The place was now empty, with only the coffins left behind.

Xu Yuan deactivated the Original Field. He approached the gorgeous golden coffin on the podium.

“The seventh emperor of the ten-thousand-year-old ancient empire, Lokas the Seventh, rests here,” Xu Yuan read aloud.

It was written in the ancient language. Su Wan couldn’t understand it until Xu Yuan translated it.

“So, the ancient empire was around for ten thousand years?” asked Su Wan. “Those bloody babies… were they an obsession of the seventh emperor?”

“What was he called? The last emperor? The strongest emperor?” asked Su Wan.

Xu Yuan shook his head. “He was just an ordinary emperor.” He picked something up from the coffin.

“What’s that?” asked Su Wan. She saw that it was a book written in a language she couldn’t understand.

“Burial record,” said Xu Yuan as an explanation. “It records the great achievements of the emperor.”

Xu Yuan explained that the person who kept records of the emperor’s achievements was usually the one who buried him. There had been ten emperors in the ancient empire. All had ruled for a span of thousand years each.

The founding emperor hadn’t been very strong. The empire under his reign had just been ordinary. It was through the generations of emperors that the empire evolved and advanced in technology and magic.

The last emperor had been in power for only five years before the empire was attacked and destroyed overnight.

Su Wan sucked in a deep breath. She didn’t know that the Golden-Armored Emperor had been one of the weakest emperors.

“Can we go back now?” she said. She was still uneasy.

What if they encountered a stronger emperor? Su Wan had been so frightened facing the seventh emperor, who wasn’t even considered strong. She shuddered to think what the ancient dead soul of a stronger emperor would look like.
