The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System Chapter 510 Impossible.
Previously on The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System...
King David Valemont and his spouse enjoyed a tranquil meal together until abruptly, the monarch's fork tumbled from his fingers, striking his dish with a sharp clang.
He rose to his feet, his gaze expanding in surprise.
At first, his wife appeared puzzled, yet she quickly sensed the same sensation her husband experienced.
"My dear Isabel..." She leaped up without delay, her mana surging wildly as she dashed to the window of her chamber.
After all, she possessed the might of a genuine mage and wealth vast enough to banish all concerns.
"Darling, hold on!" David called out, extending his arm at the last second while witnessing his cherished wife pass straight through the glass pane.
"Ugh..." He groaned, gesturing to a guard to manage the situation before hurrying after her.
His sight locked onto two figures drawing near.
A woman with deep-toned skin boasting otherworldly allure and a youth who appeared markedly changed since their initial encounter.
He stood a bit taller now, evidently more robust, his features as chiseled as before, and his eyes gleaming with unmatched splendor, resembling a vast ocean of violet constellations.
Amid his flowing ebony locks, fierce, arched horns protruded threateningly. It seemed he had transcended humanity.
The monarch touched down on the earth, observing his daughter and wife share a warm hug before turning his attention back to his son-in-law.
He attempted to probe him with his senses, and it didn't take long to comprehend. The individual before him was a true beast.
How could such immense strength possibly reside within a single being?
"Father-in-law, you appear more youthful, hahaha," Qingyi chuckled, drawing David into a hearty hug.
The king hesitated, frozen for an instant before letting out a breath.
"I'm nothing compared to the rising stars like you, son-in-law. What trials have you endured to gain such might in mere moments? What's happening in the Rose Empire?"
Qingyi halted briefly, casting a sidelong look at Isabel, who chatted with her mother.
"Some events, but let's discuss them indoors, I believe."
"Hm... very well," David agreed, stepping into the palace with Qingyi, followed closely by Isabel and her mother.
"A massive conflict looms ahead," Qingyi declared, eliciting a shocked expression from David.
"Which side's massive conflict?" David inquired, leading them into a spacious vacant chamber and gesturing for Qingyi to take a seat in an armchair.
"It's unclear yet... The Vaeldrinn patriarch has perished, and the emperor..." Qingyi circulated his Qi, probing every corner of the palace to confirm no eavesdroppers lurked. "He's likely a demon cultist." "Impossible!" David slammed his fist on the table, his eyes brimming with disbelief. "The emperor visited here years back; I've even met him face-to-face. Why would someone like him turn to forbidden paths?"
Qingyi offered no reply.
David remained unaware that Qingyi referred not to the dark sorcerers of this realm, but to an entity of such overwhelming might that, even in the immortal realms, a mere whim could eradicate all existence.
One exhale, one flick of the wrist.
Just as Qingyi held the power to wipe out all life in the mortal realms, the Heavenly Demon could obliterate everything in the immortal ones.
Aware of that might and the Heavenly Demon's grand designs, Qingyi understood precisely how he had ensnared the Rose Empire's emperor.
The promise of Ascension.
Yet ultimately, David's views held little weight.
With a deep breath, Qingyi rose. "How about a light-hearted spar?"
David glanced at his wife and daughter, pondering shortly before agreeing.
"Let's go, I wish to witness your growth, son-in-law, hahaha."
Moments later, they headed to the king's private training ground, where blades hissed from their scabbards as both charged forward.
David unleashed his full force, recognizing restraint was pointless.
His form blurred into motion, mana igniting fiercely, his sword slicing viciously toward Qingyi's throat.
The striking youth grinned, dipping low and then parrying effortlessly.
He employed neither Qi nor mana, nor did he shift his stance.
The entire force of David's strike veered off course, carving a profound gash that split the arena apart.
Instantly, David pulled back, twisting mid-air and unleashing two additional mana bursts, azure arcs ripping through the space before him.
They struck Qingyi's torso with resounding impacts, yet the youth remained unmoved.
Not a speck of damage marred his attire.
David touched down, panting hard, doubting what his vision revealed.
He stared at his own palms, clenched firmly around the hilt of his exquisite blade.
From his youth, he had earned fame as a prodigy. Dubbed the Sword Prince, and upon inheriting his father's throne, he became the Warrior King.
Though he grasped Valemont's triviality and possessed broad insights into the wider world, encountering someone like Qingyi still stunned him.
Luckily, Qingyi stood as an ally—and more, as his son-in-law.
David considered another assault, but soon recognized its futility.
Shaking his head, he sheathed his sword without delay.
"I appreciate the lesson, son-in-law; you've truly broadened my horizons..." David stated, inclining his head in respect.
"No trouble at all, father-in-law," Qingyi replied with a laugh, clapping David on the back.
Shifting his focus, he accessed the system store, expending a hefty sum of lust points.
As soon as the objects appeared in Qingyi's grasp, David felt a wave of bewilderment.
"Consume these potions sequentially, one at a time, for you and your wife," Qingyi instructed, passing about twenty vials to David.
He then produced two rings.
These served as unique protective treasures, prepared in case the emperor targeted Valemont's realm.
Since Qingyi couldn't guard them forever, he needed assurances for their security if events spiraled beyond his influence.
Presenting the two rings, Qingyi explained, "Should you or mother-in-law face peril, these will transport you to safety. Keep them on always."
David cradled the treasures gingerly, gazing at the figure opposite him.
It required only seconds for David to grasp their immense worth.
Undoubtedly surpassing the value of his whole kingdom.
Was Qingyi oblivious to that? Or did his fortune run so deep that gifting such valuables barely registered?
