Chapter 549: 549
The terrifying sight of Lu Sheng eating even shocked the devil king . That was a holy dragon, after all! A high holy dragon! It was no ordinary beast .
If he was capable of breaking through the protection of a high holy dragon's scales, other beings would be unexplainably fragile before him .
"Pooh!"
Gray Star's tail vanished after a few bites . Lu Sheng's nine heads bit away at blinding speed . In a few moments, he had reduced a dozen meters tall, 20 meters long high holy dragon to a third of its body .
The devil king felt his own heart go cold . He hastily called out to Lu Sheng, "Enough! That's enough!"
However, Lu Sheng paid him no heed . He directly torn Gray Star to pieces and consumed every last piece before slowing down .
His stomach was already as swollen as a huge ball . However, the size of the ball was swiftly shrinking with shocking speed .
From the moment he'd started biting to the moment he finished the meal, it had only been a dozen breaths . The terrifying speed of consumption not only shocked the holy dragons, even Lu Sheng himself was slightly startled .
"Let's go . " The devil king cast a deep look at Lu Sheng . He tapped the air before himself with his staff, and a red ripple spread out before him . A red door slowly materialized out of thin air .
He charged headlong into it .
Lu Sheng followed closely behind him .
They passed through the red door . A blue and gloomy ice-cold palace presented itself before them .
Huge blue ice pillars lined the palace . The white floor was as smooth as a mirror, while blue fires burned on the walls for lighting .
"Congratulations on your safe arrival . " Ju was standing beside the door . He bowed and greeted them .
"Where's your teacher Red Lotus?" The devil king looked around him with shock . Aside from Ju, there was no other creature inside the palace .
"My teacher is currently occupied, and went to another spot in the palace . Your Majesty Devil King, the Eternal Cold Spring is just up ahead . Feel free to take it . " Ju pointed a finger toward the deeper parts of the palace .
As Ju had said, there was an ice-blue throne that was more than 20 meters tall . It stood silently within the expansive palace . There was only one being that warranted such a huge throne, and that was the holy dragon queen .
"The Eternal Cold Spring is under the throne," said Ju drily .
The armrests of the throne were each decorated with sculpted dragon heads . They looked so fierce that they seemed capable of lashing out . Sharp ice cones protruded from the back of the throne, resembling cold ice wings .
On the top of the palace toward the left, a colossal ring which glimmered with faint blue light was wedged into the wall .
"Hiss…"
As if it had sensed a threat, thick white fog rolled out from the depths of the palace . White ice serpents with girth of about five meters slowly poked their heads out from the fog, and hissed intimidatingly at the three of them .
"The Eternal Cold Spring… How wonderful…" The devil king strode toward the throne .
A scythe materialized in his hands again, and he raised it high at the throne .
"Pcchht!"
"Clang!"
A silvery-white shield with a roaring lion in the center suddenly appeared before Ju . He had used it to block the devil king's scythe .
"I knew that there's something wrong about you from the start! You've killed your teacher, and you intend to fool me? Die!" the devil king roared . He conjured up dozens of red light beams, which shot toward Ju in an engulfing manner .
"Do it!" Ju exclaimed with pain as he reeled, and blood sprayed from his body .
"Auurrr!"
Lu Sheng immediately pounced . However, he did not lunge at the devil king . Instead, he lunged toward the Eternal Cold Spring .
"Scram!" The devil king swung his scythe . A ball of red light erupted in the center of the weapon, and his entire person instantly vanished and appeared before Lu Sheng on the ground . He brought the scythe down on Lu Sheng's head .
At the same time, the cold ice treasure on Lu Sheng suddenly exploded . The strong explosion of white light instantly sent his body off course .
"Flash Chop!" The devil king's scythe suddenly vanished .
"Pcchht!"
A huge wound instantly opened up on Lu Sheng's body, and fresh blood gushed forth . The wound was then instantly frozen by his white cold air .
His expression remained unchanged . He activated his Essential Essence Art, and the wound on his body healed quickly . In a few breaths, it was as if nothing had ever happened to him .
"How could it be?!" The devil king was stunned . His reactions slowed for an instant, and Lu Sheng's jaw landed on his chest .
"Hiss . "

A huge chunk of flesh from his chest was torn away on the spot . Lu Sheng swallowed it down his stomach in no time .
"My scythe has the Deathly Still Power, it should've been able to suppress any regenerative abilities! How did you?!" The devil king pressed his own chest with pain and took a few steps back . He was looking at Lu Sheng with incredulity .
"How pitiful . You can't even see where you are right now . Devil King, I guess that you didn't expect to be in this kind of situation yourself, right?"
At this moment, a huge shadow slowly appeared behind the three of them . It was the King of Ashes, who should have been fighting with the holy dragon queen outside .
"Before we actually fight, we should've taken care of these sneaky little rats . " A deep female voice also came slowly from the throne . The three-eyed holy dragon's huge body appeared on the throne and looked down at them from above .
"You!!" The devil king displayed an incredulous look .
"Your tribesmen have been wiped out . You're the only one left . Stop struggling and surrender . " The King of Ashes looked at the devil king and Lu Sheng before him with ice-cold eyes .
Lu Sheng was starting to feel that the situation was bad . His gaze shifted and he looked at Ju, whose expression changed as well . It was clear that he had not expected such a turn of events .
The silhouettes of the holy dragons slowly appeared all around them, surrounding them .
"How?!" The devil king kept retreating, still looking incredulous . "You!! King of Ashes!! You!!"
The King of Ashes snickered .
"The conflict between I, Ashes, and the dragon queen shall naturally be dealt with by us . That's an internal affair of the holy dragons . You lot are but a show before our real showdown . "
"Besides…" He switched the topic of the conversation and a mocking look crept onto his face . "In order to activate the Eternal Cold Spring, we needed enough sacrifices…"
The devil king's pupils contracted . His entire body burst into flames, and he vanished from where he stood .
The holy dragon queen and the King of Ashes were not worried at all . Instead, they shifted their gazes toward Lu Sheng and Ju .
"Nine-headed wolf king, do you have anything to say? We need only the devil king as a sacrifice . If you're willing to swear fealty to me, I can consider sparing your life . "
Lu Sheng did not answer . He was looking at Ju . It appeared as if their current predicament would not be an easy one to handle .
"How long can you last?"
"Ten breaths . " Ju calmed himself down . "I'll leave the rest up to you . "
"So short?" Lu Sheng was shocked .

"My powers are too powerful . This world will react extremely quickly to me, and won't allow me to stay for too long," Ju said slowly .
"I understand . Does it count if the karma is settled after you die?" Lu Sheng asked after some hesitation .
"I'll just have to play some tricks . "
The three-eyed holy dragon and the King of Ashes clearly sensed that something was wrong . Lu Sheng and Ju were conversing as if there was nobody else around them . They did not even take them seriously .
"Well then… Let's start . " Ju reached up and gripped an exquisite pendant before his chest .
"Goodbye, Hui…"
"Boom!"
In an instant, his body exploded, and countless purple crystals burst forth from his body .
The ground cracked and the pillars tumbled . The holy dragons were instantly drowned out . The King of Ashes turned around and wanted to flee, but he was too late . In the blink of an eye, he was drowned out by the endless sea of purple crystals .
Lu Sheng felt a strong and gentle force enveloping himself . Purple light shone before his eyes . In the blink of an eye, he was already at an altitude of a thousand meters above the holy temple .
As he hovered in the skies, Lu Sheng suddenly snapped back to his senses .
"This is?!"
He quickly gazed toward the holy temple .
The holy temple had already vanished . In its place was a terrifying mass of purple crystals which spanned a thousand meters .
That was not all . The crystals were still enlarging, spreading, and duplicating wildly .
In the end, a terrifying mound of purple crystals that had a diameter of six kilometers appeared in the middle of the battlefield .
"I'm counting on you . 10 breaths . " A blood-red vertical pupil opened in the center of the crystal mound . It was looking at Lu Sheng .
"Don't worry…" Lu Sheng drew a deep breath and nodded solemnly . This time, if Ju had not unleashed his explosive strength, he would have been forced to abandon this host body of his . There was no issue in him escaping, but if he could not settle the karma, the entire time he'd spent here would have been wasted .
Ju closed his eyes slowly . The crystals all over his body shrunk suddenly before expanding again .
"Rumble!"

The purple crystals exploded completely . Purplish flowing lights shot past Lu Sheng . In an instant, the heavens and the earth were dyed purple .
The skies, the land, everything was covered in purple .
"I owe you one . " Ju's voice slowly reached Lu Sheng's ears .
"Pccccchhhhhhht!"
The rain of purple crystals penetrated the bodies of every living thing nearby . Whether it was the holy dragons or the King of Ashes' great army, anyone alive was bombarded by the purple crystals and turned into sieves .
"Your real name is?" Lu Sheng suddenly asked .
"…Zhuang Jiu . "
"Foom!"
Suddenly, a cacophony of noises reached his ears . Lu Sheng's vision blurred again . The purple crystals had completely vanished .
If it were not for the completely destroyed holy temple far away and the land that was riddled with holes, Lu Sheng would have thought that he had imagined all that .
'So this is the true might of a Weapon Grandmaster?' His heart beat wildly . In that instant where his terrifying might erupted, the King of Ashes and the holy dragon queen had turned into supporting characters . All it took was a breath for everything to be completely destroyed .
The skies and land around him fell into a deathly stillness . However, what puzzled Lu Sheng was that there had been so many purple crystals before this, but none of them left a trace .
He scanned the vicinity and could not find any . The mountains and wilderness were strewn with bodies killed by the purple crystals, and their blood stained the ground .
All of a sudden, with his sharp eyes, he saw a hint of purple that was fading quickly where the holy temple was .
Lu Sheng quickly flew over . With that movement, he realized that he was still in midair, and that this body of his had not learn how to fly .
His body had no choice but to fall down with a loud crash . After creating a large pit on the barren slope, he hastily got back up on his feet and charged toward the mountaintop .
After the slight delay, he reached the mountaintop, and only a remnant of the purple glow remained .
Lu Sheng charged over and grabbed the purple light .
The purple light immediately plunged into his body . It was, to Lu Sheng's surprise, a message . It contained a formation that allowed him to connect with the Ghost Borneo World .
After obtaining the formation, Lu Sheng looked in the direction where the holy temple once stood .
All that was left was a mass of light blue contortions which hovered in midair . Dark blue water slowly trickled out from the contortion . Within a dozen meters of the contortion, the water flow naturally melted into the air and disappeared .
"That's the Eternal Cold Spring!" Lu Sheng's eyes beamed .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
