Chapter 1648: Bad Person Doing Bad Things

BOOM!

The black dragon roared and slammed its claw at Long Chen’s saber. The entire palace shook violently.

“How is its power so great?” Even with the Four Star Battle Armor activated, Long Chen was still having trouble with it. He almost lost his grip on his saber.

“The Black Illusion Dragon Flame has two kinds of strange energy. One is to manifest illusions within the heart, while another is that each of its core runes possesses immense destructive power. That energy is like a volcano erupting or gunpowder exploding and is more like a law. Just relying on physical power, there’s no way to fight it,” explained the Pill Fairy.

Could it be that he would have to activate the fifth star? However, he couldn’t maintain that state for long, and even if he did, he wouldn’t necessarily be able to suppress the Black Illusion Dragon Flame. If he couldn’t subdue it and ended up wasting all his energy, it would be over.

Long Chen repeatedly attacked with his saber, lightning wings on his back. He flitted back and forth, fighting with the black dragon. Each time he clashed against it, he felt like he was striking an exploding star.

With each collision, he felt like he would be blown back. That power wasn’t just being transmitted through Evilmoon, but it was also being transmitted through s.p.a.ce, as if it was being rapidly compressed and then exploding. Since the power was coming from all directions, it made Long Chen’s fight extremely bitter.

He had never encountered this kind of power. It was absolutely bizarre. It was like the black dragon had endless firecrackers inside its body and would release one each time they clashed, shaking his body violently.

“Watch out, it’s preparing an attack!” shouted the Pill Fairy, who had been maintaining a ready state to unleash her magical art this entire time.

The black dragon’s scales, which had been raised, now stuck back onto its body. However, this time, each of those scales had a black rune s.h.i.+ning in the middle of it. At the same time, the spherical rune in one of its giant eyes blazed with light.

The black dragon opened its mouth. This time, what came out wasn’t a dragon breath attack but a huge black sphere. Long Chen’s hair stood on end as he felt a horrifying sensation of death. There was no way he could receive this attack. When he was preparing to attack, he felt the surrounding s.p.a.ce compress, binding him.

Just as he was about to helplessly activate the Five Star Battle Armor, a white flame chain snaked around his waist and pulled him out of that spatial domain.

BOOM!

The black sphere shot past his body like a shooting star. It struck the palace’s wall, and surging astral winds crashed toward Long Chen and the Pill Fairy.

Long Chen was worried that the Pill Fairy’s physical body wouldn’t be able to handle such a powerful impact, so he pushed the Pill Fairy further away before the impact came.

When the impact came, he felt like he had been struck by a star and was sent flying. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling like every bone in his body had shattered.

The Pill Fairy caught Long Chen to avoid him smas.h.i.+ng into a wall and being further injured. Despite doing her best to alleviate a portion of the power, Long Chen still coughed up blood when he crashed into her. The two tumbled back.

The two of them were about to crash into the wall, and so Long Chen grabbed the Pill Fairy’s waist. Slamming his foot on the wall, he forcibly changed their momentum, charging straight up.

The Black Illusion Dragon Flame was too monstrous. This kind of power simply wasn’t reasonable. There was no way of subduing it.

He had seen it clearly just now. The black dragon’s aura hadn’t dropped at all after unleas.h.i.+ng that attack. In other words, it could unleash a similar attack at least dozens of times. There was no way for them to defend against that. Long Chen gave up and prepared to flee.

However, just as he was preparing to flee, the underground palace shook. Broken parts of the wall shattered and fell, revealing a light barrier.

“There’s a formation!” Long Chen and the Pill Fairy were startled. They hadn’t sensed this formation before.

Divine runes flowed, enveloping the underground palace. Countless divine chains appeared and bound the black dragon.

The black dragon let out a heaven-shaking roar. All of its black scales rose, and its berserk energy continuously magnified. Ripples spread in every direction from it.

However, no matter how it struggled, it couldn’t break free from these chains. That delighted Long Chen and the Pill Fairy.

It seemed that the Jade Lake Venerate had wisely seen through the possibility of the Black Illusion Dragon Flame maturing and growing too powerful for others to subdue, so she had left behind a restriction to prevent it from fleeing.

Long Chen and the Pill Fairy exchanged a glance. With the formation’s help, subduing the black dragon should be easier.

However, just as they were getting excited, they heard a cracking sound. Those chains began to break as the black dragon struggled with all its might.
