The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System Chapter 557 Oh... does that hurt?

"Are you trying to end your own life before the master even arrives? At the very least, trigger his gift prior to hurling yourself toward death in that reckless way!" The Enlightened Empress rebuked Emperor Rose.

He shut his eyes tight, sensing the sharp agony radiating from his arm.

Qingyi had shattered his sword with just one finger and ripped away his arm in an instant...

No... such a thing couldn't be real!

He, the Rose Emperor, defeated with such effortless ease?

The striking young man standing beneath them showed no interest whatsoever in their turmoil.

His gaze shifted, locking onto Lucios.

Qingyi anticipated fury. After all, he had slain his son.

Yet oddly, not a trace of rage appeared on Lucios's features. Far from it.

A soft smile played on his slender lips, and his grip on the sword loosened.

"Old man..." Qingyi advanced with a single stride, his form materializing right in front of Lucios.

The vast kilometers separating them felt like nothing more than one casual step at Qingyi's incredible velocity.

"Brat... how fares little Seraphine? Have you given me any great-grandchildren to cradle yet? I eagerly await holding that child in my arms..."

Those words made Qingyi's heart plummet.

Jianming must have harbored the identical wish, hadn't he?

"Don't you despise me?" Qingyi inquired. "I took your son's life..."

"Had I reached there on time, had I been present in the capital when he slaughtered his own wife and attempted to assassinate Elize, I would have ended him myself."

The elder clasped Qingyi's shoulders with a strong hold.

"I'm truly proud, Qingyi... my two granddaughters have chosen men of such fine caliber. How many grandfathers across the world enjoy this level of joy and assurance in their existence? Now I can pass on without regrets."

Lucios drew the elven saber from his belt, appearing set to battle beside Qingyi, even if only for this final stand.

"That's wonderful." The striking young man grinned, placing one hand on the elder's chest. "Then rest easy and organize a grand banquet for my union with Elize and Seraphine."

"What are you-" Before the words could fully escape, Lucios vanished into a spatial rift, his form transported straight to his people's territory, thousands of miles distant.

"With just us now..." Qingyi pivoted toward the trio of monarchs hovering above, his stare laced with lethal chill. "Why not reveal the gift bestowed by your master?"

He stepped ahead, prompting the three overhead to pull back a bit.

All at once, the blood orb and those twin colossal hands ripping open the skies failed to inspire their former boldness.

They wavered, sharing looks before pulling out pills from their spatial rings.

These were crimson with dark specks, a touch bigger than a green grape. 'Body impulse pills? No... it's more than that!' Qingyi examined them with icy precision.

Resembling body impulse pills, which granted a burst of immense strength at the cost of severe harm to the dantian and meridians in most cases.

Typically reserved for desperate or deviant cultivators willing to risk everything.

However, these variants lacked any safeguards.

Body impulse pills devoid of limiters generally led to the user's body detonating before combat even began.

Unless crafted by a transcendent alchemist possessing expertise far surpassing Qingyi's understanding, they amounted to

deadly toxins that would slay their consumers right away.

"They must be treasures from the celestial heavens, top-tier ones no less!" Qingyi observed as the three ingested the pills.

The transformation struck instantly.

Their gazes turned a profound crimson, a potent demonic energy enveloping them, while Qi and Mana surged outward in pulses.

Even the Rose Emperor's detached hand mended at once, tissue

and bone regenerating from thin air.

"You truly stand out, young one. Fit to wed the Gold King's daughter and face me here." The Enlightened Emperor proclaimed, unsheathing his sword and aiming it at Qingyi.

"Yet this doesn't need to conclude like this. Yield to our monarch's radiance, embrace his might, and journey with us among the stars!" "The radiance of your monarch? Hahahaha." Qingyi burst into laughter, a genuine chuckle mingling with the fury in his tone.

"I can't help but ponder... how a figure so ancient and mighty can remain so innocent... or should I say, foolish." The striking young man spoke bluntly, gazing at the three with utter disdain.

"Attack all at once." He commanded with scorn. "I'm concerned that facing you separately might not even count as proper exercise."

The Enlightened Emperor's face darkened, a heavy scowl etching across it.

"No use wasting words on this insolent whelp! Let's end him immediately!" Emperor Rose bellowed, balling his fists as fresh strength coursed through his veins.

Thanks to that pill his master had granted for crises,

his abilities had surged beyond double their prior level.

He felt confident it sufficed to eliminate Qingyi, particularly with their combined assault.

"What sheer blindness..." The empress snarled, golden flames igniting in her palms. "That arrogance will doom you someday, boy!"

"Is that the case?" Qingyi smirked, her expression twisting in astonishment as he bridged the gap between them.

He left his sword sheathed. He saw no need for it.

His unarmed fists sliced the air, and a agonized cry rang out, succeeded by a head soaring skyward.

Qingyi's fire Qi required mere seconds to locate the empress's escaping soul, incinerating it.

He scarcely shifted, as though dispatching a mere insect rather than a formidable powerhouse.

"Hm... so feeble and pitiful." The handsome youth's lips arched, serene and mild, even as inner loathing simmered.

"Will you pair fare any better than she did?" he challenged, eyeing the stunned pair of emperors.

"NO!" The Enlightened Emperor snapped to action at last, his sight fixed on his wife's tumbling form.

"Oh... does that sting?" Qingyi seized his throat.

"How might my mother-in-law have felt when your vile schemes led to her father's demise, eh?"

He tightened his grip, momentarily unleashing his fury, his killing aura overwhelming the surroundings.

"Perish in battle and descend to the underworld." His fingers connected, severing the Enlightened Emperor's head from his frame.

Ultimately, just one lingered.

"I had hoped to let Sapphire land the decisive strike..." Qingyi remarked,

observing Emperor Rose spin away and attempt escape, gripped by profound dread and remorse.

"But you hardly merit glimpsing her face once more."

Unsurprisingly, his flight proved futile.

In the finish, nothing endured on that field of conflict save the souls of tens of millions, the blood orb, and Qingyi.

The handsome youth tilted his head upward to the rift in the heavens, beholding a glow rising from the dark abyss the breach unveiled.
