Long Chen couldn't help with the matter of devouring the Nine Nether Demonic Ancestral Flame. It all depended on Xiao Lang himself. Even if it was just Xiao Lang's matter, Long Chen was still a little nervous. After all, it concerned Xiao Lang's life.
The Burning Sky Demon Emperor had said that even the top experts of the ten sacred dynasties had died under the backlash of the Nine Nether Demonic Ancestral Flame. Xiao Lang was only at the Earth-rank. If it wasn't for the Sun-Devouring Demonic Wolf's strange talent, it would be impossible for him to deal with the Nine Nether Demonic Flame.
At this time, Xiao Lang jumped out of Long Chen's arms and onto the ground. He looked back at Long Chen with a resolute gaze. Then, he silently stepped on the solid ice and headed in the direction of the Nine Nether Demonic Flame.
Long Chen also followed. Even if he couldn't help, he wanted to see Xiao Lang devour it. Only then would he feel more at ease.
The deeper they went into the cave, the colder it got. After walking for about a hundred meters, Long Chen felt that his body was already covered in a layer of frost. If it wasn't for the true qi that was surging frantically on the surface of his body, he would have been frozen solid by now.
Long Chen's constitution was much stronger than ordinary people, but if it was like this, there was no need to mention the others. From this, it could be seen how terrifying the Nine Nether Demonic Flame was.
"The Ancestral Flame and the Ancestral Dragon are the most ancient and terrifying things. If that drop of Inheritance Essence Blood was the Blood Essence Blood of the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon …" Long Chen recalled the heaven-defying skills he had obtained because of this drop of Inheritance Essence Blood, Blood Refining Qi, and Dragon Soul Transformation. Coupled with the strong feeling in his mind, he was somewhat convinced that the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon in his sea of consciousness was the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon, the Ancestral Dragon of slaughter and bloodshed.
"That's right. If Xiao Lang can obtain the Ancestral Flame, I should have the Ancestral Dragon's blood essence. Only then can I compete with him. Moreover, among the ten great Ancestral Dragons, I wonder if I can get more Ancestral Dragon's blood essence?"
Long Chen thought excitedly. In fact, he knew that if the Ancestral Dragon's blood essence was powerful, he had something even more powerful. It was the Mysterious Dragon Jade, because it could suppress the Ancestral Dragon's blood essence.
Just as Long Chen was deep in thought, the space in front of him suddenly opened up. This was an underground space with a diameter of about a hundred meters. It was surrounded by thick black ice. Long Chen's gaze was immediately drawn to the object in the middle. In the center of this underground space was a platform that looked like an altar. This platform was pitch-black and had many strange symbols engraved on it. A faint black light was emitted from these symbols and reflected towards the sky.
About two meters above this altar, there was a flame about the size of a palm floating. This was a pitch-black flame that was burning calmly. It was as calm as the flame in a kerosene lamp. The flame flickered very slowly.
Long Chen had seen a lot of pitch-black flames outside, but this one in front of him didn't give him the same feeling. It was like when he faced the Ancient Blood Spiritual Dragon's blood essence. A desolate and heavy ancient aura spread. Long Chen's gaze was deeply immersed in this black flame. At this moment, he seemed to see a world in the flame. This world was filled with gray fog. It was chaotic. The airflow was constantly rising and falling. Everything was still in a state of confusion.
Following that were countless screams and howls of misery. Long Chen seemed to have seen a scene from hell. There were mutilated corpses and blood everywhere. This was a scene from hell. And in the sky of this hell, there was a demonic black flame burning fiercely. This flame was incomparably huge. In an instant, it filled the entire sky, causing the sky to turn into an inverted black flame. Countless tiny flames fell down like rain, covering the entire world. After that, this world was destroyed.
"This … is the Nine Serenities Demon Ancestral Flame."
Long Chen suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at the black flame above the altar in shock. This black flame looked ordinary, but it was not ordinary.
When he saw the Nine Serenities Demon Ancestral Flame, Long Chen only sighed with emotion. However, it was not the same for Xiao Lang. His breathing gradually became heavier and his body was expanding slowly. Very soon, he recovered the combat state of the Moon-Devouring Demonic Wolf. He stood beside the Nine Serenities Demon Ancestral Flame on all fours. His tall back was almost touching the top of the cave.
When he first came in, Long Chen roughly knew that the Nine Serenities Demon Ancestral Flame was sleeping from the jumping speed of the flame. However, Xiao Lang's approach must have awakened it. At this moment, the flame of the Nine Serenities Demon Ancestral Flame was jumping faster and faster. Long Chen also felt that the surroundings were getting colder.
"Xiao Lang, hurry up." Long Chen knew that the longer it slept, the higher the chance of success.
Xiao Lang roared at the Nine Serenities Demon Ancestral Flame. He did not hesitate and opened his mouth. Immediately, a strange feeling appeared around Long Chen. Long Chen was very familiar with this feeling. When he used the Devouring Blood World and the Soul Devouring Demonic Eye, his enemies also felt the same.
A black vortex the size of a face plate appeared in the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf's mouth. Immediately, a strange suction force acted in this underground space. This should be the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf's powerful devouring innate talent. It was also devouring, but it was different from Long Chen's path. However, they achieved the same result through different means. Long Chen devoured blood to refine it into Qi, while Mo Xiaolang could devour flames and even anything related to fire for his own use.
When the black vortex appeared, the Nine Serenities Demon Ancestral Flame trembled and moved towards the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf. As it moved, the black flame jumped faster and faster. When it approached Xiao Lang's mouth, the Nine Serenities Demon Ancestral Flame seemed to have completely awakened.
Immediately, a soul-piercing shriek resounded in Long Chen's sea of consciousness. It directly affected his soul and made Long Chen feel a stabbing pain in his head. He had not expected the Nine Serenities Demon Ancestral Flame to be like a real person and have the power to intimidate the soul.
At the same time, the surrounding temperature plummeted.
Helpless, Long Chen could only retreat. He was worried about Xiao Lang's safety, but there was nothing he could do. He could only shout at Xiao Lang: "Don't try to show off!"
He knew that Xiao Lang couldn't retreat. This was something that would decide his own fate, so Long Chen couldn't interfere. He retreated for a while, and the bone-chilling cold eased a bit. He knew that if he hadn't escaped in time, he would have been frozen to death.
Even though the Nine Serenities Demon Ancestral Flame was just a clone, it was still very terrifying. When things reached an extreme, they would move in the opposite direction. It was extremely cold, and if you didn't touch it, you would think that it was cold. If you touched it, you would definitely be burned to death in an instant.
"Xiao Lang, I can only ask the damned heavens to protect you."
Long Chen sighed. He forcefully circulated his true qi and waited in the distance. If Mo Xiaolang could really succeed, he would give Long Chen a pleasant surprise.
In fact, since the Burning Heaven Devil Emperor supported it, Long Chen felt that Xiao Lang's chances were still very high. After all, the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf was a demonic beast that even the Burning Heaven Devil Emperor feared.
Time gradually passed. From the depths of the cave, soft sounds of friction and breathing could be heard. There was also the sound of air flowing. At the beginning, Long Chen was still very nervous. However, after two hours, he actually discovered that the temperature of the air had started to rise. This was a great omen.
He hurriedly rushed into the depths of the cave. When he took a closer look, the Nine Serenities Demon Ancestral Flame had already disappeared, and Xiao Lang was already lying cross-legged in the black ice. His eyes were closed, and he could see that his body was currently covered in raging black flames. These flames looked ice-cold, and a chill could be felt from them. Without a doubt, this was the Nine Serenities Demon Ancestral Flame.
"Xiao Lang succeeded." Long Chen instantly revealed an excited expression. He still couldn't make a conclusion, so he continued to wait.
After another two hours, the surrounding temperature had already dropped to about room temperature. At this time, the black flames on Xiao Lang's body had already completely disappeared. One could see that the injuries that the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf had previously suffered had all disappeared. He seemed to have recovered to his complete state, and was even stronger than before.
Finally, Xiao Lang opened his eyes. The instant he opened his eyes, Long Chen saw that his eyes were actually burning with cold black flames. He suddenly felt his heart palpitating.
After seeing Long Chen, Xiao Lang clearly revealed a joyful expression. He must have felt that his current battle form was too big, so he immediately transformed into a pocket-sized and cute appearance. He ran in front of Long Chen and raised his head to look at Long Chen.
Whether it was his expression or his actions, they were extremely cute, which made Long Chen extremely cute. However, this wasn't intentional on Xiao Lang's part. The reason why he ran was purely because he wasn't very proficient in controlling his body.
"Let's talk as we walk."
Seeing that Xiao Lang had already recovered from his injuries, Long Chen didn't stand on ceremony. He directly grabbed Xiao Lang's neck, lifted him up, and rushed outside. It could be seen that because of the disappearance of the Nine Nether Demonic Ancestral Flame, the surrounding temperature had risen. The ice that had existed for countless years had already started to melt.
"Xiao Lang, have you already devoured the Nine Nether Demonic Ancestral Flame?" Long Chen asked with some excitement.
The wolf cub had a blank look on its face. It first nodded, then shook its head.
Not being able to talk was definitely a troublesome problem. Long Chen didn't know what Xiao Lang meant at all, so he was quite speechless. At this time, he could only rack his brain to guess. If he accidentally guessed the answer, Xiao Lang would be able to confirm it with a nod.
At this moment, Xiao Lang opened his mouth. A gloomy flame could be seen jumping on his tongue. This was the Nine Nether Demonic Ancestral Flame, which was even smaller. This flame felt completely different from the Nine Nether Demonic Ancestral Flame that had just awakened. The previous flame was violent, brutal, and extremely destructive. But now, the Nine Nether Demonic Ancestral Flame was jumping on the tip of Xiao Lang's tongue. It was a little mischievous, like a newborn child. Under Xiao Lang's control, it moved its body left and right.
Xiao Lang closed his mouth, and the Nine Nether Demonic Ancestral Flame disappeared.
"I understand now. You didn't devour it and turn it into your own energy. Instead, you controlled the Nine Nether Demonic Ancestral Flame and achieved the purpose of making it recognize you as its master. Although your strength didn't soar in a short period of time, in this way, there will be endless benefits in the future." Long Chen guessed.
Xiao Lang nodded, and his eyes narrowed into the shape of a crescent moon.
"Damn it, don't act cute in front of me." Long Chen scolded with a smile.
Mo Xiaolang immediately showed an innocent face.
