Chapter 1646 (2/2)

“You’ve also come for the Black Illusion Dragon Flame?” asked the Pill Fairy.

Long Chen nodded. The Pill Fairy’s goal in attending the Jade Lake Pageant was now clear. She had come for the Black Illusion Dragon Flame. She must have come prepared, however, this Black Illusion Dragon Flame was too strong. Long Chen also wanted it, and while he wanted to say the Pill Fairy could have it, he couldn’t say something so fake.

“You’ll probably be disappointed,” sighed the Pill Fairy.

“I don’t need the complete Black Illusion Dragon Flame. I just need a portion of its energy,” said Long Chen. He just needed a bit of its power to transform Huo Long.

The Pill Fairy shook her head. “You’ve misunderstood. What I mean is that this Black Illusion Flame Dragon has fully matured. It’s not something we can touch.”

“What do you mean?” Long Chen was startled.

“This Jade Lake Sacred Land has four inheritances, earth, water, fire, and wind. They are all gifts that the Jade Lake Venerate left to future generations. When it comes to the earth, water, and wind inheritances, it was some special techniques or such. However, the fire inheritance is different. She left behind this Earth Flame Spirit Beast. She sealed it below the palace, but because no one took it after so long, it slowly grew to the point that it is now too terrifying to take. Just now, I used my core flame to investigate what’s below, and it seems like I came for nothing,” sighed the Pill Fairy. She helplessly said, “Eight hundred years ago, one of my Pill Valley’s experts partic.i.p.ated in the Jade Lake Pageant and entered this place. But at that time, the palace was still fine, and there was no black qi. The Black Illusion Dragon Flame was just three thousand meters long. However, when I checked just now, I saw that its body had grown to ten times that. It probably managed to break one of the restrictions binding it and advanced in power. Here, let me share what I saw and you’ll understand.”

The Pill Fairy gently pressed her hand against Long Chen’s forehead. Her hand was very warm. As for that white flame, Long Chen couldn’t sense any heat from it. His heartbeat quickened. This was his first time being in such an intimate situation with the Pill Fairy.

Before he could carefully experience this feeling, the image of a huge black dragon appeared in his mind, making him jump.

It was a thirty-thousand-meter black dragon covered in pitch-black sparkling scales. Black qi surged out of it constantly, and it was coiled around a huge pillar. He sensed endless berserk energy from it.

Its eyes were closed as if it was in slumber, but looking at it still made Long Chen’s hair rise. If it woke, it would be like a volcano bursting.

“Based on my guess, the Jade Lake Venerate left the Black Illusion Dragon Flame as a gift, however, no one ever managed to subdue it, which made it grow stronger and stronger. At this rate, it won’t be long before it completely breaks through its seal. The Black Illusion Dragon Flame is claimed to be the most tyrannical flame in this world. It’s number two on the Earth Flame Rankings. It’s very difficult to subdue it while it has yet to give birth to a mind, but now that it’s already matured to this point, its power will probably be something even Netherpa.s.sage experts have to fear if they don’t have a divine item,” said the Pill Fairy.

“Did you not bring a divine item with you? Did you try it?” asked Long Chen.

The Pill Fairy shook her head. “I brought the Daynight Furnace. Based on the previous estimate of the Black Illusion Dragon Flame, I would have had a thirty percent chance of capturing it. However, now that it has already advanced, there’s no chance. If things went badly, I could even lose my life.”

“What if we work together?” Long Chen refused to give up just like that. The more terrifying it was, the more he wanted it. His See A Treasure And Can’t Walk Away Disease was acting up again.

“It’s very dangerous. Even with a divine item as protection, we probably won’t have a one percent chance of success. Furthermore, failure will spell certain death,” warned the Pill Fairy gravely.

“This Black Illusion Dragon Flame is something very important to me. I want to try it. However, I have no divine item to store it, so I’ll need your Daynight Furnace for that. How about this? If we get it together, we’ll split it 30:70. I’ll take thirty, and you can take seventy. I just need thirty percent of its essence,” said Long Chen.

“Are you being serious?”

“Of course I’m being serious. Do you not want to try it?” Long Chen had learned from Evilmoon just how powerful the Daynight Furnace was. Without it, Long Chen wouldn’t be able to subdue this terrifying flame. However, he felt that he had a high chance with the Pill Fairy and the Daynight Furnace.

The Pill Fairy hesitated. In the end, she agreed to take the risk. Even the Pill Fairy herself didn’t know why she had agreed. This was crazy.

The two of them entered deeper. It was unknown what material this palace was made of in order to block the encrosion of the black qi. However, based on the erosion on the walls, it wouldn’t be long before this palace collapsed. Many runes were starting to grow dim.

At the center of the palace was a spiral pa.s.sage going downward. It led to an underground palace.

This underground palace had a single pillar holding it up. Long Chen finally personally saw the black dragon. When he saw it, his scalp turned numb. “Does my disease really want to kill me?”
