Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 626 - 288: The Great Battle Concludes, Obtaining the Source (5200 words)_1

Even the remnant soul of a Quasi-Emperor is still just a remnant soul.

In the face of the Ming Emperor's Imperial Scriptures, which specialized in overcoming ghosts and spirits, even this Supreme Dragon Emperor who once swept across the universe and dominated an era was no different.

The manifestation of the Ming Emperor behind Wang Xiu was more magnificent and vast than ever before. Countless divine lights poured down from the endless heavens, forming a series of dazzling and blinding God Rings behind his head.

He slowly raised his hand.

The enormous manifestation of the Ming Emperor behind him also extended its palm and pressed down. Its five fingers were like celestial pillars, immense beyond compare. The world within its grasp transformed into the Netherworld—vast and boundless, giving birth to a dense and mysterious Chaotic Qi.

Ripples pulsed across the Dragon Emperor's body as he struggled to resist the heart-stoppingly tremendous power. Even so, his form sank uncontrollably, on the verge of being suppressed into the Infinite Hell.

The Dragon Emperor roared. Endless Dragon Qi converged in his hands, forming a trident that was ancient to the extreme and radiated a chilling power.

He swung it in a wide arc.

The terrifying fluctuation, like a river of stars, tore the void asunder as it met the massive palm of the Ming Emperor.

"Don't push your luck! No matter who you once were, you are now just a weak mortal. If you truly corner me, your end will be no better than mine!" The Dragon Emperor's voice boomed like thunder, deafening but no longer as domineering as before. It carried an undertone of empty threats.

DING!

[Detected someone boasting nearby. Congratulations, Host, for gaining Mana +12,233!]

BOOM!

A roar echoed within Wang Xiu's body. His cultivation level ascended once more, reaching the peak of the sixth level of the Soul Travel Realm. His essence, qi, and spirit instantly grew far more vigorous, and a scorching, electric brilliance shot from his eyes.

CLANG!

The Dragon Emperor's trident shattered, breaking into countless runes that were suppressed into the abyss teeming with Chaotic Qi. Instantly, mist billowed and the entire world trembled violently.

A loud dragon's cry erupted as piercing divine glares shot out from the mist below.

The Dragon Emperor revealed his true form. A Five-clawed Golden Dragon that stretched across the entire world surged up from beneath. Its head was as enormous as a star, and the scales on its tail shimmered with a crystalline light, resembling a river of stars.

It was truly magnificent!

In front of this gigantic dragon, Wang Xiu seemed less significant than a speck of dust.

ROAR—

The Dragon Emperor soared into the sky. His massive head was wreathed in clouds, and his blood-red eyes shot out terrifying beams of vicious light.

The great dragon spoke in a human tongue, "I am the Supreme Dragon Emperor! Even if only a remnant soul remains, I am still far stronger than you are now! A fight to the death with me would be most unwise!"

DING!

[Detected someone boasting nearby. Congratulations, Host, for gaining Mana +12,233!]

Wang Xiu said nothing. He simply gazed at the gigantic Dragon Emperor as runes swirled across his skin, glowing brightly.

A deep rumbling, like the beating of a war drum, echoed between heaven and earth. It was the sound of Wang Xiu's heartbeat. Within the endless Chaotic Qi, the sound of great rivers surging could be heard—the sound of blood coursing through Wang Xiu's body.

His figure suddenly expanded.

From the size of an ordinary person, he grew in an instant to tens of thousands of feet tall. His body radiated a dense divine glow, and his aura was terrifyingly intense, like a primeval giant who could split the heavens and sunder the earth.

The Dragon Emperor was stunned, his massive eyes filled with a human-like expression of disbelief.

The third scripture! Another Emperor Scripture Inheritance, and at the perfection level! What kind of monster is this? He had only been absent from the world for ten thousand years, yet the Nine Heavens had already produced such a freak? To master three Imperial Scriptures to the perfection stage simultaneously… This is simply incredible! Even the Great Emperors of old had never accomplished such a thing. Firstly, there was no need; they had their own Daos, and the Imperial Scriptures of others served as references at most. Secondly, the difficulty was immense. Another's Dao might not be suitable, and even a Great Emperor would not dare claim they could follow in another's footsteps to reach the same level of achievement.

While he was still in shock, he felt a hand seize his body.

Wang Xiu, his body flickering with divine light like an ancient war god, possessed limitless strength. He grabbed the Dragon Emperor by the tail, hoisted him into the air, and slammed him into the earth with a ferocious throw.

The Dragon Emperor's eyes rolled back, the heavy strike nearly knocking him unconscious as his body twitched.

Wang Xiu did not stop. He lifted him again and mercilessly slammed him down.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

After more than a dozen slams, many scales had vanished from the Dragon Emperor's body. His once-shimmering divine light was now dull and dim. Battered and broken in many places, he was a wretched sight to behold.

Wang Xiu leaped onto the Dragon Emperor's body. He clenched his fists and viciously pounded on the Dragon Emperor's head.

A continuous series of crashes, like mountains crumbling, rang out. The Dragon Emperor was beaten until he saw stars, his soul nearly pummeled into dissipation.

He pleaded repeatedly, "Stop, stop, stop! Don't hit me anymore! I know I was wrong!"

Wang Xiu turned a deaf ear, his fists continuing to fly.

The Dragon Emperor tried again, "If you let me go, everything is negotiable! You can take whatever you want from my Dragon Palace!"

Wang Xiu raised a fist high and brought it down hard, speaking as he struck, "Once I slaughter you, all your belongings will be mine anyway!"

"Oww!" the Dragon Emperor wailed, wanting to cry but having no tears. "There's no deep-seated hatred between us, why must you go to such lengths? How about this, let's make a deal. You release me and find a way to get me out of here. From now on, my Dragon Clan will be your most loyal friend. At your command, we will brave any danger without a second thought."

This promise was naturally very tempting.

Although the Dragon Clan had weakened in recent years, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. They remained an Ancient Clan in the Nine Heavens that could not be ignored. If he could transform them into a force under his control, it would indeed be a wonderful thing.
