Chapter 1014: Life and Annihilation
So now, though Tang San couldn't fully subdue it, it was still possible to control it to a certain extent through life energy. And with the Sunborne Nymph Emperor helping him suppress it, he was almost certain that his endeavor would succeed.
"Well, you should be careful either way," the Sunborne Nymph Emperor warned him. Even he held some wariness toward the Scourge Dragon's destructive power. The special attribute of its energy was something he had never seen elsewhere, and it was without equal across the entire Daemon Continent. If it hadn't been so uncontrollable, the dragon race wouldn't have put it up for auction.
Standing atop the dragon's head, Tang San grabbed the collar around the Scourge Dragon's neck, and it started to glow with a soft light.
After the auction, Tang San had been informed about the collar's functionality, and he had also studied it thoroughly, so he knew how to remove it. He slowly activated the arrays carved into it.
With a series of clacking sounds, the collar slowly opened. The moment it was removed, the Scourge Dragon's destructive aura surged violently. Its massive body heaved upward, but the Sunborne Nymph Emperor instantly increased his suppressive might, keeping the beast immobile.
Tang San carefully put away the collar. It was undoubtedly a precious item among precious items; how many shackles of this world had the power to suppress a creature that was nearly on par with an Emperor? It was rather likely that half of that thirteen thousand amethystine coins Tang San had paid had been for the collar alone. Apart from lacking spirituality, it was unquestionably on par with a high-quality divine item.
A surge of rich life energy burst forth from Tang San, accompanied by radiant blue-golden light. The life force flowed into his hands, coating them in a shimmering blue-golden hue.
Reaching out, he slowly grasped the single horn atop the Scourge Dragon's head. Instantly, a surge of deep purple destructive energy erupted from the horn. When it collided with Tang San's life energy, it was like ice water hitting hot oil.
An explosive shockwave of energy radiated outward, and golden-purple light flared from the dragon's head. The dragon let out a strange sound, part roar, part low groan—somewhere between pain and relief. Then, remarkably, its struggles weakened significantly.
The Sunborne Nymph Emperor stared in astonishment. Huh. This... actually worked?
