Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

"Haha, that’s naturally excellent!" Xuanyuan Qiong laughed heartily.

The other six also rubbed the back of their heads, looking honest, but the greed and excitement in their eyes were without concealment.

"Don’t just think about the good stuff."

Su Han glared at them: "You must know, any item, if forcibly devoured, once unsuccessful, will cause backlash."

"This divine beast flesh is no exception."

"I do not wish for you pillars of the Phoenix Sect to fall because of devouring this divine beast flesh."

"Absolutely not!"

Xuanyuan Qiong raised his eyes, looked at Su Han, and said solemnly: "Sect Master rest assured, when we broke through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, we unlocked the third layer seal on our bodies, and even gained the third layer of Battle Clan heritage, which includes a cultivation technique for devouring and refining, called... God-Swallowing Technique!"

"Really?"

Su Han was taken aback for a moment: "Why didn’t you mention it earlier?"

Xuanyuan Qiong immediately showed an embarrassed expression and said: "The Sect Master has already given us so much, how could we keep asking the Sect Master for more..."

"You guys..."

Su Han shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, I won’t argue with you. Since that’s the case, it’s naturally just right. But remember this: since it’s divine beast flesh, and you are crossing the Immortal Realm with Spirit Realm cultivation base to directly devour divine beast flesh, even with the Battle Clan’s heritage cultivation technique, it’s definitely not that easy."

"Safety first in everything. If you can’t devour it, absolutely do not force it!"

"Yes!!!" Xuanyuan Qiong and the others all nodded.

Su Han didn’t say anything more, and with a flip of his hand, he took out a full seven pieces of divine beast ant flesh.

Each piece weighed a hundred pounds.

"First, take these. The rest I will give to Lian Yuze. If you succeed in devouring and still need more, you can ask him for it." Su Han said.

"Alright."

Xuanyuan Qiong and the others were extremely excited and full of anticipation, eager to start devouring immediately.

Divine beast flesh, if successful, how much could it enhance their physical strength?

Just thinking about it made them excited!!!

...

In the following time, Su Han announced to enter closed cultivation immediately.

This time, the closed cultivation was not for cultivation, but... for refining an Immortal Artifact!

The Immortal Artifact to be refined was not the Ultimate Night of the Divine Blade, but a piece of defensive equipment.

This equipment wasn’t for any individual’s use; it was meant for the entire Phoenix Sect!

Currently, tens of sects have formed life and death grudges against the Phoenix Sect, even the Three Teachings are helping them.

Without absolute defense, the Phoenix Sect must remain inside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, unable to show themselves.

But if there were an Immortal Artifact...

At the very least, the Phoenix Sect could occupy a giant city in the external world!

Even the Sub-Immortal level powerhouses wouldn’t be able to do anything to the Phoenix Sect!

Because even if they had secret techniques to activate the Immortal Artifact, they could only unleash less than one-tenth of its power.

But Su Han had a way to unleash the full power of the Immortal Artifact!

...

Su Han entered closed cultivation, and Xuanyuan Qiong and others began devouring ant flesh.

As for other members of the Phoenix Sect, they were equally focused, continuing their cultivation.

The time given by Su Han wouldn’t be too long. Once the Immortal Artifact was indeed refined, they would emerge immediately.

By then, the entire Phoenix Sect would leave the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son and see the light of day again!

They didn’t know Su Han was refining an Immortal Artifact, so they must accelerate the improvement of their cultivation base during this time to prepare for facing external enemies when the Phoenix Sect appears!

Due to Su Han’s breakthrough to the Third-Grade Unity Order, the time flow rate inside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son had once again doubled, reaching... three thousand times!

One year outside, three thousand years inside!

...

In the valley, Su Han was surrounded by piles of artifact refining materials like towering mountains.

From Spirit-Level to Emperor-Level, there was everything.

As for the Sub-Immortal level... there was only one piece.

This was acquired from a loose cultivator, and at the time of acquisition, the loose cultivator didn’t even know it was a Sub-Immortal level artifact refining material, nor did Luoo Ning, who acquired it.

If he knew, how could the loose cultivator sell it?

Among the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, Sub-Immortal level artifact refining materials were definitely present, but they didn’t sell.

These things are reserved for when a Sub-Immortal level powerhouse breaks through to the Immortal Realm, to be used for refining Immortal Artifacts!

However, even though Su Han didn’t obtain many Sub-Immortal level materials, he didn’t feel disappointed.

Because he had Eighth Level Blood Crystals, which he could use to merge and transform other materials into Sub-Immortal Level Liquid!

"Wow!"

Su Han’s figure was hidden among the artifact refining materials.

His Nine Great True Selves all emerged at this moment.

The First True Self held a large amount of Spirit-Level artifact refining materials.

The Second True Self held a large amount of Profound-Level artifact refining materials.

And so on...

The Eighth True Self and Ninth True Self didn’t hold artifact refining materials, but each held an Eighth Level Blood Crystal!

As time progressed, more and more Spiritual Liquid, before undergoing qualitative change, would be placed by Su Han into the next level of Blood Crystal.

Nine tasks with one mind!

This was an extremely mentally exhausting process, and any small error would lead to the loss of a large amount of liquid and the wasting of numerous artifact refining materials.

Fortunately, Su Han was a reborn soul extremely powerful with previous life’s artifact refining techniques and experience at his disposal. Though not yet reaching furnace mastery, he could still manage it.

Time flew by, year after year.

The time inside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son was practically free.

Five hundred years passed quickly.

The Eighth True Self and Ninth True Self’s two Eighth Level Blood Crystals had now expanded several times in size.

The Spiritual Liquid within emitted a terrifying pressure, flowing like two circulating streams.

The Eighth True Self’s Blood Crystal contained Sub-Immortal Level Liquid.

While the Ninth True Self’s... contained Immortal-Level Liquid!!!

Compared to before, the quantity of Immortal-Level Liquid had undoubtedly increased significantly.

But for refining an Immortal Artifact, it was still far from sufficient!

During this process, Su Han occasionally glanced at the Immortal-Level Liquid, but each time he would constantly shake his head.

"At this rate, to refine all the liquid needed for an Immortal Artifact, would take at least... over ten thousand years!" Su Han muttered to himself.

This was an unavoidable situation; this was just the speed. Even if it took a hundred thousand years, he still had to continue.

...

In the sixth hundredth year of Su Han’s closed cultivation, the Phoenix Sect welcomed its tenth Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouse!

He was not someone Su Han brought up from the Dragon Martial Continent, nor one of those Dao Sovereign Realm super-powerhouses, but...

The Sword Dao Divine Child, Xin Leng!
