Chapter 859

Long Chen pressed his hand on the ancient lamp . An ancient rune lit up, and when Long Chen blew on the wick, a light red flame flew out, instantly enveloping half of the room .

What startled Long Chen was the fact that the Gadfly-Ant Corpse Devouring Insects were instantly turned to smoke when they were enveloped by those flames . They vanished .

Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian were astonished . They looked at the shabby ancient lamp . Who would have thought that it possessed such terrifying power?

“Amazing! I struck gold this time!” Long Chen was delighted . As expected, this ancient lamp was an absolute treasure .

However, after getting excited, he suddenly found that the wick had dimmed after this attack . He jumped in fright .

“It’s fine . As long as it doesn’t get contaminated with the Blood Qi of cultivators, it will never completely extinguish,” said the Eastern Wasteland Bell .

“So… does that mean I can’t use it against enemies?” asked Long Chen .

“You can use it against enemies that aren’t cultivators . For example, Magical Beasts . The lampwick of this Immemorial Altar Lamp was refined through the life essence of supreme experts . Inside are their blessings . The Immemorial Altar Lamp isn’t a killing device . In truth, it’s a priceless cultivation a.s.sisting treasure . Once you reach Sea Expansion, it can help you cultivate faster, and your qi sea will grow to ten times the size of others . Even in the ancient era, it was an extremely rare treasure . A sect could build their entire foundation around it . And it’s not just useful for the Sea Expansion realm . At the Foundation Forging realm, if you have its a.s.sistance, your immortal platform’s foundation will be incomparably stable . Long Chen, you truly did obtain an amazing treasure this time . It seems your fortune has taken a turn for the better,” praised the Eastern Wasteland Bell .

His fortune had taken a turn for the better? Long Chen refused to believe it . All he believed was that good things required a matching strength to protect . Otherwise, even if you obtained it, it would be taken by others . The loss and regaining of the Immemorial Altar Lamp was a good example .

During this critical moment, Huang Junmo had revealed immense battle power . Long Chen realized that if he had fought with him all-out on Insect Island, he most likely wouldn’t have been his match .

Because Huang Junmo was an a.s.sa.s.sin, he was specialized in killing his opponents in one shot and in one-on-one combat . Most likely his abilities had been restricted by the fact that he was facing an endless sea of insects, which was the only reason he was forced to flee .

Hearing that the Immemorial Altar Lamp couldn’t be used to face enemies, Long Chen couldn’t help being disappointed . Such a powerful killing tool couldn’t be used to kill . That was too irritating .

“If the Immemorial Altar Lamp kills too many experts, their resentment will be absorbed by it and extinguish its core . Then it will become trash,” said the Eastern Wasteland Bell .

Long Chen immediately thought of how those insects on Insect Island had drawn cultivators near the lamp before killing them . So their goal really had been to extinguish the wick .

“Put away the Immemorial Altar Lamp for now . It has absorbed too much resentment and needs to rest . As for your Earth Flame, it’s in slumber and can’t help expel that resentment . It’s not good to use for now . I’ll teach you how to use it to help your cultivation later . ”

Long Chen solemnly put the lamp away . This treasure was too precious . It was his greatest harvest since arriving on the Immemorial Path and would be the foundation of the Dragonblood Legion’s future rise .

“Let’s go . Little Mo has already helped us open the door . We can’t fail to live up to his kindness!” laughed Long Chen .

“Who is Little Mo?” asked Yue Xiaoqian .

“It’s that good person who helped us kill all those insects,” laughed Long Chen .

“Long Chen, you really are evil!” Yue Xiaoqian also couldn’t hold back a laugh . Long Chen had long since told her about what had happened with Huang Junmo . This time, he had been conned miserably by Long Chen .

Not only had he lost so many of his treasures, but he had also fled with only half of his life . It was unknown whether he would directly go insane from anger once he stopped running .

The two of them entered the pa.s.sageway and were shocked to find quite a few bodies of Gadfly-Ant Corpse Devouring Insects inside .

However, they weren’t true insects but the results of their molting . Those elite insects that had come out in the end obviously had to have experienced some kind of metamorphosis to possess such power . They had been comparable to seventh rank Magical Beasts .

A disgusting stench came from the pa.s.sageway, but Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian endured it . If they closed their pores and stopped breathing, it would cause their spiritual perception to sharply drop . In such a dangerous place, such an action was foolhardy .

“No wonder!”

The two of them walked in three hundred meters when they saw multiple channels ahead . Each channel was so long that they couldn’t see the end . That was why there had been so many insects . All these channels had been filled with the insects .

“How curious . After this many years of no food or water, how did these insects survive?” wondered Long Chen .
