Chapter 1756 (Raw 1768): Divine Flame Inheritance
"Boom!"
The moment the Azure Dragon Totem completely entered the ground, the world turned quiet.
The terrifying evil dragon sealed beneath the city was finally suppressed, and the horrifying dragon roars stopped.
The fiery light all over the underground dragon city slowly died out at this moment.
When Xiao Chen landed, he felt his entire body completely drained of energy. His Vital Qi and Veritable Essence Energy were depleted.
For the sake of sinking the Azure Dragon Totem into the ground, he had exerted himself to the fullest.
Without thinking much, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on the spot and took out two Medial Grade Spirit Jades. Then, he closed his eyes and circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation.
Junior, what is your name?
Xiao Chen, who was anxiously recovering his strength, heard that grave voice in his mind once more. That was the original master of the Faux God Flame.
I'm Xiao Chen.
The Xiao Clan? Of the eight great clans of my Azure Dragon bloodline, there does not seem to be one with the family name Xiao. However, that does not matter. Xiao Chen, I do not have much time. I can only pass on this Faux God Flame to you.
Ripples spread in Xiao Chen's heart. He could not bear to tell the other party that he was the only one remaining from the Azure Dragon bloodline.
After a moment's thought, Xiao Chen asked softly, Is there no other way? Since the Faux God Flame has not extinguished yet, I can help Senior find a body and undergo rebirth. Would that not work?
It's too late already. My divine flame is already too weak. My will of soul has only a strand of remnant thought left. There is no way to succeed. Furthermore, I also do not wish to continue living, so there is no need to force it.
The voice coming from the Faux God Flame was intermittent, which indicated that the senior was not in a complete state.
Xiao Chen remained silent, not knowing what to say.
There is no need for pity. I have already lived long enough. Remember, the Black Dragon King will return within one hundred years. This Azure Dragon Totem is just the last resort and cannot trap the Black Dragon King for long. How unfortunate…how unfortunate… In the end, I betrayed the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's heavy trust…
The Faux God Flame's voice faded, slowly disappearing.
Senior! Senior…
No matter how Xiao Chen called out in his mind, that voice no longer appeared, leaving him to sigh.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, many memories that did not belong to Xiao Chen appeared in his mind.
These were from the past that the Faux God Flame's master experienced. The many scenes flashed and flickered in Xiao Chen's mind continuously like a movie.
However, because what he received was just a strand of remnant thought, the many memories and information were very scattered.
Xiao Chen only managed to organize the information after a long time and gained a rough understanding of the Black Dragon King's origins.
There were no black dragons in the history of the Dragon Race. The black dragon was also not part of the Seven Colored Divine Dragons.
The Black Dragon King was a natural mutation. On the day of his birth, there were all sorts of scary signs.
As the Black Dragon King grew older, he grew increasingly stronger, nearly heaven-defying, and quickly surpassed the many Dragon Race senior-generation experts.
The Black Dragon King called himself the reincarnation of the Dragon God and killed with an iron fist. After obtaining the position of Dragon Emperor, he became known as the Black Dragon King in the outside world.
After that, the hidden experts of the Dragon Race worked together to seal the Black Dragon King. However, he seemed to be immortal. Every time, he eventually managed to struggle free of the seal.
After a few rises and falls, the Black Dragon King would always appear in the Dragon Race and kick up a bloody storm, bringing all sorts of calamity.
Finally, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor personally sealed the Black Dragon King. Then, a Dragon Race Faux God expert used his own divine flame to suppress the Black Dragon King.
Unfortunately, the seal's effectiveness had weakened already.
The Faux God Flame was about to burn out, which gave the Black Dragon King an opportunity. If not for Xiao Chen's coincidental appearance, the Black Dragon King would have successfully escaped earlier, not needing to wait another one hundred years.
Xiao Chen felt a burst of lingering fear. Had he not hammered the totem into the ground and the Black Dragon King returned, not only would he have died, but the Black Dragon King would also have brought an unpredictable disaster.
During this time, Xiao Chen also had sorted out the method to inherit the Faux God Flame.
Although this Faux God Flame had burned out, the energy contained within it was astronomical.
Xiao Chen thought about how Zhen Yuan grew so scarily strong after absorbing the demonic nature.
The Faux God Flame would definitely not be inferior.
However, Xiao Chen was different. He would not forcefully refine it and use it to raise his strength.
There were no shortcuts on the path of Martial Cultivation.
Just Zhen Yuan's earlier, neither-human-nor-ghost appearance was the best lesson.
With Zhen Yuan's talent, he did not have to go to such extremes, abandoning Buddhism and cultivating the Demonic Dao. That was truly unfortunate.
Xiao Chen cast aside these distracting thoughts and started to formulate a few methods in an organized manner, slowly receiving the inheritance of the Faux God Flame.
That bright flame mark on Xiao Chen's forehead gradually dimmed.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen let his physical body, Primal Core, and soul absorb the energy contained within the Faux God Flame little by little until it surged throughout his body.
This energy was not purely Veritable Essence Energy, Vital Qi, or Soul Energy. Instead, it was all three. Furthermore, there was a strand of the most important Divine Might.
As Xiao Chen absorbed the inheritance in a natural process, his cultivation grew quickly.
His body released motes of spiritual light. In the dark dragon city, they looked like exceptionally beautiful fireflies.
Xiao Chen purposely released them.
He was not as greedy as Zhen Yuan. If he absorbed all of the Faux God Flame's energy, he would have no problem breaking through to the Starry Sky Stage.
However, there was no need for that. If the foundations were not firm, it would be very easy to fall into a state of Berserking Qi Deviation.
Hence, everything had to remain within his control.
One hour later, Xiao Chen's cultivation progressed from early-stage Major Primal Core Realm all the way to late-stage Major Primal Core Realm before stopping. He was just one step shy of peak consummation.
That was not all. When the energy that represented Veritable Essence Energy ended, the energy that represented Soul Energy continued. Strands of pure Soul Energy headed for the depths of his sea of consciousness, where he had never been to before.
Is it going to the Soul Pool?
Xiao Chen could not help feeling curious. Previously, he had heard from Ye Zifeng that he had already formed the Soul Pool that only Star Venerates had.
However, due to the limits of his strength, he had not been able to explore it.
Perhaps this was an opportunity.
Xiao Chen's consciousness trailed these strands of pure Soul Energy that were slowly entering the depths of his sea of consciousness.
After a while, he saw a light in this pitch-black forbidden area.
That was the Soul Pool.
Before Xiao Chen had a chance to take a good look, the pure Soul Energy's entry into the Soul Pool dazzled him.
The Soul Pool was extremely vast, even boundless.
The vast Soul Pool was very hazy. The Soul Energy that came from the Faux God Flame flew towards a clump of brilliance in the middle of the Soul Pool.
That clump was what people referred to as the three spiritual souls and seven physical souls. The so-called will of soul was formed by combining the three spiritual souls and seven physical souls with the cultivated Soul Energy.
Any lifeform in the Great Thousand Realms—even the Fiendish Demons and ferocious beasts—had three spiritual souls and seven physical souls.
When cultivated to the highest level, one would cultivate Soul Energy and temper the three spiritual souls and seven physical souls, materializing the will of soul.
As countless strands of Soul Energy entered, that clump of brilliance turned increasingly brighter.
Xiao Chen clearly felt his three spiritual souls and seven physical souls rapidly strengthening.
The Soul Pool was vast and boundless, infinitely large, appearing hazy. In reality, the vastness of the Soul Pool was beyond a person's imagination. It was the most mysterious part of the body.
In the distant east of the Soul Pool, at a place beyond what Xiao Chen could sense, there was a mysterious gravestone.
As the gravestone stood tall, it gave off an ancient aura. On it were two calligraphic words written with strong strokes: Sky Dome.
There seemed to be a mound behind the Sky Dome gravestone. What was buried there was unknown.
However, Xiao Chen only entered this place using a trick. His consciousness here was somewhat weak, and everything he saw was hazy. He could not see this gravestone in the extreme far east.
Once Xiao Chen absorbed all the Soul Energy of the Faux God Flame, the ball of light representing the three spiritual souls and seven physical souls in the center of the Soul Pool spun continuously and released countless beams of starlight.
After a while, the starlight filled the Soul Pool.
Then, the ball of light stopped spinning and formed an azure-colored dragon seal that exuded a terrifying Dragon Might.
Xiao Chen's consciousness emerged, and he ferociously opened his eyes. Many stars sparkled in his eyes.
Immediately, everything within his field of vision, all the floating dirt and dust, froze in place.
At this moment, it was like Xiao Chen's thought determined the life and death of everything in the world.
The will of soul. After receiving the Faux God Flame's soul inheritance, Xiao Chen directly materialized the will of soul.
"Boom!"
With a thought, the dragon seal in the middle of the Soul Pool gave off a piercing light. Everything before Xiao Chen turned into dust.
All this happened silently. Its might was scary and astonishing.
