The Divine Dragon's eyes were brimming with cold killing intent, "That person came from the outside world?"
The white-robed old man quickly nodded, "Yes, that person called himself Your Highness. Although his strength isn't strong, only around Divine Grade Seventh Order, he can enter the ethereal state, making us unable to harm him."
The Divine Dragon turned around, his gaze fixed on Ye Chen, "What is your relationship with that person?"
"He's a darkness creature."
At this point, Ye Chen could only speak the truth, "In the outside world, we are facing a life and death crisis, darkness creatures are invading on a large scale. I was being chased by this person and accidentally came here. I didn't expect that he would also come here."
The Divine Dragon's eyes sharpened, "You brought him here, didn't you?"
Ye Chen raised his head to meet the Divine Dragon's gaze, speaking frankly, "I didn't even know what you would have here, why would I bring him here?
What if there was a dead end inside, wouldn't I have walked into a dead end? "
The Divine Dragon's cold voice sounded, "You want us to help you deal with your enemy?
Do you believe that I won't hand you over right now?! "
"Do as you wish."
Ye Chen said arrogantly, "If I knew there was a master of your level here, I would have come here to hide long ago. Why would I only run here when I was being chased by him?
“
The Divine Dragon sneered, "You're also an outsider, who knows if you're working together with this darkness creature to obtain my Xuanyuan Tribe's treasure!"
Ye Chen sneered, "If I wanted to obtain your Xuanyuan Tribe's treasure, I would have gotten it by now. Isn't this Xuanyuan Divine Sword your treasure?
I'm here now, why would I need his help? "
The Divine Dragon was stunned for a moment, then he raged, "Then what is your relationship with him?"
"Enemies!" Ye Chen said coldly. Then, he added, "I won't rest until you're dead!"
Hearing the murderous intent in Ye Chen's words, the Mystical Dragon started to believe him. The murderous intent in its eyes subsided slightly. It looked at Ye Chen with a strange and helpless expression. It had thought that by exerting pressure and relying on its state of mind, most people would be intimidated to the point of trembling and answer whatever was asked. Unexpectedly, not only was Ye Chen not intimidated, he was even angered to the point that he dared to look at it coldly!
This kind of benefit …
It had not experienced this for a long time.
"This human junior dares to yell at me like this. He doesn't even care about our strengths. He knows that I can crush him with a finger, but he still dares to offend me!"
The Mystical Dragon thought to itself, "After being treated coldly by others, he changed his attitude. With such an impulsive personality, he would never plot anything. It's not that he doesn't have the heart, it's that he doesn't have the ability."
Thinking of this, it started to believe Ye Chen. Although Ye Chen had just rebutted it coldly, his impulsive temper did not make it feel disgusted. On the contrary, it liked it even more. If Ye Chen had been forced to confess and still explained it in a pleasant manner, it would not have trusted him.
Ye Chen was good at observing people's expressions and tone. This was one of his "survival" skills after surviving ten years in the apocalypse. When he saw the murderous intent in the Mystical Dragon's eyes receding, he thought to himself, "Just as I expected, at this time, I should be more impulsive and appear foolish. Only then will it be at ease with me. Some people would rather deal with angry youths than deal with people who smile at you all the time. That kind of person is too scheming!
Moreover, even if they really create a ruckus, I can still use my superhuman mode to escape. After all, I know the location of the Celestial Sword. If I lie in ambush and wait for the right time, I can still snatch it! "
At this moment, Ye Chen had already experienced a gamble.
If he acted like an angry youth, if he succeeded, the Mystical Dragon would be at ease with him. If he failed, he would have to fight with the Mystical Dragon!
On the other hand, if he explained it in a pleasant manner and succeeded, the Mystical Dragon's doubts would be temporarily dispelled. However, he would not be able to be fully trusted. If he failed, it would still be a great battle!
Weighing the two options, Ye Chen naturally chose the former.
Life was a gamble. Sometimes, success and failure were only separated by a single thought!
These words came from the mouth of a famous person, so it was quite accurate.
At this moment, the Mystical Dragon had already turned its head and looked across the Iron Lock Bridge. Its loud and clear voice reverberated around, causing the sea of magma under the Iron Lock Bridge to ripple slightly.
"Activate the energy shield of the Temple Island and hold on for a period of time. If you really can't hold on, activate the Temple Annihilation Cannon and bombard it with shells. Although it can't cause him any harm, it can consume his time."
The Mystical Dragon said in a low voice. It knew that the situation was extremely dangerous for the white-robed old man to come and report in person. It was a matter of life and death.
The white-robed old man was stunned for a moment. Then, he glanced at the Mystical Dragon and sighed in his heart. "Your subordinate understands."
With that, he turned and left. He knew that since the Mystical Dragon did not personally say that it was going to fight, it could not leave. They could only rely on themselves.
After the white-robed old man left, the Mystical Dragon slowly retracted its gaze. It looked at Ye Chen and said in a low voice, "Now, my Xuanyuan Tribe is facing a life and death situation. You should fulfill your promise and protect the Xuanyuan Tribe with your life!"
Ye Chen said unhappily, "I can't even defeat that white-robed old man. Do you think I'm going to court death?"
The Mystical Dragon raised its head and looked at the Heavenly Peak. After a while, it said slowly, "Don't worry. The Yellow Emperor's divine sword has the power to kill Gods and Ghosts. Even if he enters the Ghost God Mode, it can kill him with one strike!
However, this sword requires a person with a strong will to wield it. Otherwise, the divine sword will devour you and turn you into a sword slave! "
Ye Chen's face was filled with shock, "This divine sword can kill a Ghost God expert?"
The Mystical Dragon nodded. "Of course. Although Ghost Gods are strong, they are nothing in front of the divine sword!"
Ye Chen frowned and said, "But I can't master it yet. I can't practice the third style. Moreover, to see the method of practicing the third style, one must have a King Grade Rank Five body. I only have one such crystal core. After refining it, I don't know how much my strength will increase. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to reach King Grade Rank Five in a short period of time!"
The Mystical Dragon looked at him and said in a low voice, "Although this crystal core is strong, it's far from enough. Even if you absorb 100 of them, it won't be enough for you to reach King Grade Rank Five!" Without hesitation, it opened its mouth and spat out a flame.
In the flame, a white lotus, burning faintly, floated out and landed in front of Ye Chen. The temperature of the sky suddenly rose as if it was going to combust.
"This is a thousand-year-old Fire Lotus. It contains rich energy. I've been collecting it for hundreds of years, but I can't bear to consume it. Hurry up and refine it!"
The Mystical Dragon was reluctant, but it still controlled the Fire Lotus and floated towards Ye Chen. It landed in front of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen looked at the beautiful natural Fire Lotus. He had expected the Mystical Dragon to have many precious herbs as the leader of the Xuanyuan Tribe. He didn't expect it to be a thousand-year-old Fire Lotus born in a sea of magma. He was pleasantly surprised. It was not easy to produce such a flame. It could only be born in a place with rich fire essence.
Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and inhaled. The rich Devouring Qi formed a whirlpool in his throat. It wrapped around the Fire Lotus and devoured the essence on it.
Streams of pure energy flowed from the Fire Lotus into the meridians in his body, filling them up. Soon, he reached late-Third Rank Five Qi Master!
"Devour!"
"Devour!"
Ye Chen closed his eyes and cultivated. The whole world of magma was silent. The Mystical Dragon watched the Fire Lotus shrink as it devoured his energy. The corner of its mouth twitched as it felt a little painful.
In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed.
The thousand-year-old Fire Lotus had shrunk to the size of a fist. The energy in his body had reached a bottleneck. It contracted and squeezed violently. When it expanded to the limit, it exploded!
Ye Chen's mind went blank. The energy in his body expanded and contracted, causing his meridians to ache. After a dozen times, his meridians were gradually refined and widened. His energy was compressed to a purer state. He had broken through to Rank Four Qi Master!
Following the breakthrough in energy, Ye Chen's vitality had also increased significantly. He had reached Level 3700!
Ye Chen didn't have time to feel the changes in his body. He looked at the remaining Fire Lotus and accelerated his devouring. After about 30 minutes, the Fire Lotus had shrunk to the size of a fingertip. Ye Chen swallowed it and forcefully refined it.
If a powerhouse of other attributes wanted to refine such a Fire Lotus, it would take at least ten days to half a month.
The Mystical Dragon felt that Ye Chen's energy had increased significantly. He didn't expect his refining speed to be so fast. He was surprised. He opened his mouth and spat out another white Fire Lotus. It floated in front of Ye Chen and said, "This Fire Lotus is 3,000 years old. Absorb it quickly!"
Ye Chen didn't hesitate. He opened his mouth and inhaled. The energy in his body surged out and shrouded the Fire Lotus, accelerating the absorption.
Time passed.
A day passed quickly.
Ye Chen had devoured three Fire Lotuses in one day. They were 1,000 years old, 3,000 years old, and 5,000 years old respectively. As the three Fire Lotuses entered his stomach, his cultivation increased tremendously. He broke through Rank Five Qi Master and reached the Middle Stage!
His vitality had also reached Level 4000!
"I'm still 1,000 levels away. Here, it's the difference of one level in the King Grade!"
Ye Chen sighed in his heart. "I've devoured three precious Fire Lotuses. Although my energy has increased by almost 2,000 levels, my body can't transform that much!
Now, if I devour the 28 Level 5000 Crystal Cores in the Rune Space, my energy might break through and reach Rank Six Qi Master. However, my vitality can only increase by 200 to 300 levels!
I still can't reach Level 5000!
Moreover, I said that there was only one Crystal Core like that. If I take it out now, it'll be too embarrassing. "
The Mystical Dragon saw that after devouring three Fire Lotuses, his energy had increased significantly. However, he still couldn't meet the last condition. It couldn't help but frown. This condition was set by its ancestors. One had to master the top three sword styles to be qualified to control the Divine Sword. It couldn't go against it.
It had thought that if it let Ye Chen cultivate here slowly, if not in one year, it would take two years. To it, this amount of time was nothing. It didn't expect that a powerful enemy would attack and catch it off guard.
Now, the Fire Lotuses that it had treasured for 1,000 years had been devoured by Ye Chen. However, it still couldn't do anything.
