The power of the Dragon Clan?
When Lu Chen heard the black dragon's words, his first reaction was to wonder if he had misheard. Ever since he first came into contact with the power of the Black Fire in the barren valley over ten years ago, he still wasn't very clear about the origin and history of the Black Fire. However, he at least knew that the Black Fire had never had anything to do with the legendary Dragon Clan in the past ten years.
If he really had to say that it was related to the legend, then when he wandered into the southern wilderness and stayed with the barbarians, the ancient legend of the Black Fire tribe was that the Black Fire originated from the Fire God was the only exception.
However, the Fire God that the Black Fire tribe worshipped was clearly not the same as the huge black dragon in front of him. At the very least, in the many years that Lu Chen lived in the Black Fire tribe, he had never seen a statue or totem in the shape of a dragon. This was impossible for a tribe that had always had a firm belief in the southern wilderness.
However, the Black Fire tribe's current attitude was clearly very confident and confident in this matter. His tone was as if it was only natural and without any hesitation. This caused Lu Chen to hesitate. After all, no matter how he looked at it, the black dragon didn't seem to have any reason to lie to him.
Then, Lu Chen suddenly frowned as he thought of something.
Apart from the first ten years when he was tormented to the point where he wished he was dead, Lu Chen discovered that the power of the Black Fire was extremely strange after he subdued it. It was different from any dao or magical power that he knew of in the world.
This was because it didn't seem to need to cultivate.
Most of the time, the Black Fire would peacefully hide in Lu Chen's body without a trace. Even True Lord Tian Lan, who had the ability to see through the heavens and earth, would find it difficult to detect the strangeness in Lu Chen's body. However, when Lu Chen was in danger, he could quickly activate this power and use it to suppress his enemies.
Lu Chen had tried many methods, including many cultivation methods from the human cultivation world, to test the Black Fire, but it was useless. Later on, Lu Chen found the only way to make the Black Fire grow: killing and death.
Every time he killed someone or killed another living being, his body would automatically absorb a strange power. Most of the time, it was very weak, but it was definitely there. It would slowly nourish the Black Fire, allowing it to grow.
It made one's hair stand on end. Even Lu Chen himself felt very uncomfortable. Even though he felt like he was some kind of monster that sucked blood to live, he still felt like he was a bloodsucking monster. But the truth was that the Black Fire was not a righteous power. It had always leaned towards the darkness. Just like Lu Chen, Lu Chen had always been unable to break away from it, even though he was standing under the sunlight.
Even in his heart, he often felt that standing in the shadows made him feel more comfortable.
As for whether the power of the Black Fire belonged to the dragon race, Lu Chen really did not know. He quickly came to his senses and just shook his head slightly. He had no intention of arguing with the Black Dragon on this matter.
The Black Dragon looked at him, seemingly not surprised by Lu Chen's reaction. However, when it looked at the young man, there seemed to be a slightly more complicated look in its eyes.
"Let's go." The Black Dragon said. Then, the black shadows around its body suddenly shook, and there was an endless gurgling sound. Such a huge dragon began to shrink in front of Lu Chen.
In the middle of the swaying light and shadow, the mountain-like body rapidly shrank. The golden light of the Kunlun Seal became more and more dazzling, as if it had also sensed something.
Soon, accompanied by a rumbling sound, the Black Dragon suddenly turned into a shadow and pounced on the golden light. Then, it quickly disappeared in the golden light.
The Kunlun Seal paused in mid-air for a moment. Then, all the light suddenly disappeared, and it turned around and fell down.
Lu Chen quickly reached out and caught it. He put it on his palm and looked at it carefully. The Kunlun Seal was still the original Kunlun Seal, but at this moment, the golden light around it had changed. Not only was it greatly reduced, but even the ordinary light had dimmed.
Looking at it, the Kunlun Seal seemed to have lost all its spiritual energy and became an inconspicuous piece of stone.
Lu Chen didn't reveal any expression of worry. Instead, he seemed to have heaved a sigh of relief. He carefully wrapped the Kunlun Seal and kept it in his robes before turning around and walking away.
…
The way back was much easier. Although it was still very dark, it was obvious that the Black Dragon was the ruler of this mysterious underground world. Once it decided to leave with Lu Chen, the silence and peace of this place was quickly broken.
The monsters in the thick fog were obviously more active. They all seemed to be growling in a low voice. Although the Kunlun Seal was not in his hands, its power was still there. Even if it was hidden in Lu Chen's arms, it could still intimidate the surrounding monsters, allowing Lu Chen to walk out safely.
After returning to the surface and leaving the dark and vast underground world, Lu Chen still breathed a sigh of relief. But soon, he became nervous again and smiled bitterly. No matter what, carrying such a huge dragon with him would not make him feel relaxed.
Lu Chen walked out of the thick fog. Wherever he passed, the fog would retreat. Not long after, he finally walked out of the forbidden area between the sky and the clouds.
During this process, although the surrounding fog seemed to be abnormally active, hissing and moving, until the end, there was still not a trace of fog that broke through the invisible boundary. Obviously, the person who set up various restrictive means here was an extremely powerful ancestor of the Kunlun Party in the previous generation.
Then, Lu Chen saw Atsu.
Atsu looked safe and sound as it squatted a few feet away from the thick fog. Beside it stood Oxen and another beautiful girl. It was White Lotus.
Seeing White Lotus and Oxen also standing here, Lu Chen could not help but be startled, but he did not take it to heart. He glanced at White Lotus, then smiled and walked towards Atsu. He first reached out and touched the head of Atsu, who stood up happily and wagged its tail at him. Then, he walked over and patted Oxen's head, saying with a smile, "Hello, old friend."
Oxen glanced at him and let out a "moo".
Then, Lu Chen turned around and said to Atsu, "Things are done, Atsu, let's go back to the Immortal City."
Atsu barked twice, nodded and wagged its tail without any objection, but at this moment, Lu Chen suddenly felt his sleeve tighten. He looked down and saw that Oxen had walked to his side and bit his sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Lu Chen asked it.
Oxen barked, then pointed to the north. Lu Chen thought carefully, and his expression changed slightly. With a hint of doubt, he asked, "You also want to go to the Immortal City with us?"
Oxen nodded.
Lu Chen was stunned. This Oxen's identity and origin were extraordinary. It was a spiritual beast that Supreme Lord Tian Lan had raised for many years, and its cultivation was unfathomable. In the entire Kunlun mountain range, it was second to none.
Did it want to go to the Immortal City to see its master, Supreme Lord Tian Lan?
But when Supreme Lord Tian Lan told him to come over, he did not say anything about this Oxen. Should he take it with him?
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, but he did not notice that White Lotus, who had been standing at the side without saying a word, was still looking at this Oxen from time to time, and there was a glimmer in the depths of her eyes.
