"Human, you are rather stubborn but this Holy One will take your body!"

The flaming dragon burst into derisive laughter. His large body was like a hurricane as it spiraled towards Gu Ruoyun.

During this short period of time, Gu Ruoyun had already grasped the scale of power that the flaming dragon was capable of.

Perhaps this dragon had been a Martial Saint during his golden age but he has now been reduced to only a spirit! He no longer has the ability to release his true power! Even so, it would not be easy to defeat him.

Slam!

Slam, slam, slam!

Perhaps the flaming dragon was afraid of harming Gu Ruoyun's body. Hence, he did not utilize his dragon breath against her anymore. Instead, he slammed his huge body continuously against Gu Ruoyun's chest, causing her bile to rise up from within her throat. However, she fiercely swallowed it.

"Damned reptile!"

The Vermillion Bird screamed with rage from within Gu Ruoyun's soul and shrieked furiously, "If it wasn't for the fact that the Ancient Divine Pagoda has been sealed at the moment, this reptile wouldn't dare act so arrogantly in front of me! Master, get out of this place first. Wait until I can come out and fight for you then we can return and make him pay."

Gu Ruoyun did not answer. Her eyes were turned towards the Dragon Phoenix Fruit behind the flaming dragon. Determination filled her clear and cold gaze once again.

"You're only a spirit. I've said it before, if you were a complete flaming dragon, perhaps I would really be afraid. Unfortunately, the one thing that I, Gu Ruoyun, have never been afraid of is spirits!"

Zoom!

Gu Ruoyun's body suddenly turned into a ray of light and charged towards the flaming dragon.

The flaming dragon shocked. He never thought that not only does this little girl have no intentions of escaping, she would actually have the courage to attack him? Does she no longer wish to live?

Gu Ruoyun quickly reappeared in front of the flaming dragon. She grabbed him in a tight grip, opened her mouth and bit the flaming dragon's spirit.

"Roar!"

Rip!

The agony from being bitten caused the flaming dragon to let out a heart-breaking roar. His body thrashed fiercely as he tried to fling the woman, who was hanging onto him, off from his body.

"Master, have you gone mad?"

Yunyao and the rest cried out anxiously when they saw Gu Ruoyun's actions.

She had risked a lot when she consumed Zixie's source of power but they never thought that she would not even spare a flaming dragon! What if both their energies were to clash? She would most definitely explode and die!

Gu Ruoyun ignored whatever Yunyao and the others were thinking as she opened her mouth once again and sank her teeth into the flaming dragon's spirit.

In everyone's eyes, Gu Ruoyun has obviously gone mad now! However, only Gu Ruoyun herself understood what she was doing. She was not trying to dig her own grave by swallowing the powers of another.

Instead, this was the Divine Weapon, the Ninth Emperor's demand!

She could feel that the Ninth Emperor, which resides within her mind, was hungry and it was guiding her towards swallowing the flaming dragon's spirit. This was why Gu Ruoyun was acting in this manner.

"Roar!"

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The flaming dragon trembled in agony as the flames on his body burned brighter and brighter. At that moment, he no longer cared about the physical body that he had been vying for. All he could think of was to burn the woman hanging off his body into ashes!

However, Gu Ruoyun does not seem to feel the scorching heat as she continued to gnaw the flaming dragon's spirit as if she was enjoying a delicious meal.

Boom!

A hurricane rose from the top of Gu Ruoyun's head, hovering around the entire blazing cave. Gu Ruoyun, who was now feeling very full, quickly crossed her legs and sat down. She then began to digest the power within her body...
