A grey shadow could be clearly seen on the old man's chest. The grey shadow was like a sharp blade that pierced into the old man's chest, continuously depleting the old man's strength.
Within this grey shadow, there was a violent and destructive aura.
The power contained in it could cause a Half-Step Celestial Realm expert to fall into eternal damnation if he was slightly contaminated.
Even with the old man's strength, he could only rely on a little bit of the Chaotic Qi contained in the palace to suppress the injuries on his body.
But in the end, he could only struggle at death's door.
Others might not know the extent of the old man's injuries, but Chu Fengmian was very clear about them. He also knew what the grey shadow that had penetrated the old man's body was.
It was the Chaotic Lightning.
Chu Fengmian had once endured the bombardment of the Chaotic Lightning when he was undergoing the Heaven-Defying Tribulation.
The old man's body also contained the Chaotic Lightning and a little bit of Dragon's Origin in his body. Chu Fengmian could tell.
The old man before him was also a person who had once attempted to overcome the Heaven-Defying Tribulation. He also wanted to go against the Heavens and become a Variant.
Unfortunately, the old man's ending was different from Chu Fengmian's.
Chu Fengmian had succeeded, but the old man had failed. That bolt of chaotic lightning had entered the old man's body, obliterating his life force at any moment.
If the old man had not found such a precious place that contained the Chaotic Qi, he would have already died.
"To be able to survive the Heaven-Defying Tribulation, you can be considered a legend."
Chu Fengmian looked at the old man and couldn't help but say.
Chu Fengmian's words were not false, nor were they flattering.
The Heaven-Defying Tribulation. The word 'Heaven-Defying' represented how difficult it was to overcome the Heaven-Defying Tribulation.
It was practically a Tribulation with no chance of survival.
In history, there were countless monstrous geniuses recorded in the ancient books, but very few of them dared to overcome the Heaven-Defying Tribulation.
This courage alone was not something that everyone could possess.
Moreover, although this old man did not overcome the Heaven-Defying Tribulation, he managed to preserve his life. This was indeed extremely shocking.
According to historical records, there were only a few people who could survive a heaven-defying tribulation.
Although Chu Fengmian had transcended the heaven-defying tribulation, the chances of him transcending the tribulation back then were almost zero.
It could be said that if it weren't for the Heaven-devouring Beast's heart helping Chu Fengmian in the end, Chu Fengmian would have died in this heaven-defying tribulation.
The old man in front of him didn't have the same luck as Chu Fengmian. To be able to survive a heaven-defying tribulation, he was already a legend.
"He's just struggling at death's door. In front of Young Master, he's not even worth mentioning."
The old man said in a somewhat dejected tone.
When he faced the heaven-defying tribulation, he was fully prepared and full of confidence. But in the end, he failed. Although he survived, he was also left with irrecoverable injuries.
For the rest of his life, he could only hide in the palace. His real body could not take a single step out of the mountain.
Once he left the mountain, the Primal Chaos Lightning on the old man's body would no longer be suppressed by the Primal Chaos Aura. It would be enough to kill him on the spot.
He originally thought that there was no one in this world that could transcend the heaven-defying tribulation. Never did he expect that he would actually encounter Chu Fengmian, the person who had truly transcended the heaven-defying tribulation.
This made him incomparably curious, and he wanted to meet Chu Fengmian.
"How should I address you?"
Chu Fengmian asked casually.
"Outsiders call me the Mad Dragon Emperor. But now, I'm merely a living corpse struggling at death's door in this tiny palace."
The old man said with a low voice.
Mad Dragon Emperor. These three words were enough to show how domineering and imposing this old man was back then.
However, the heaven-defying tribulation had shattered all of this old man's arrogance. As he struggled at death's door, he could no longer be called a mad dragon.
"To be able to meet Young Master in this life, this old man can die without regrets."
The Mad Dragon Emperor looked at Chu Fengmian and couldn't help but sigh.
"You don't want to die."
Chu Fengmian looked at the Mad Dragon Emperor and said calmly.
Hearing those words, the Mad Dragon Emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I don't want to die. If I wanted to die, I'd only be struggling at death's door until today."
"However, this Primal Chaos Qi will not be able to suppress my injuries for the rest of my life. Young master Chu should be able to tell that this old man's body is already nearing the end of its life. I will definitely die in a few years' time."
The Mad Dragon Emperor couldn't help but sound a little disappointed.
"What if I have a way to save you?"
Chu Fengmian smiled faintly.
"Actually, your lifespan is far from reaching its end. It's only because of that Primal Chaos Lightning that your life force was destroyed."
"If you neutralize that Primal Chaos Lightning, you'll be able to live for at least several tens of thousands of years."
"Neutralize the Primal Chaos Lightning?"
When the Mad Dragon Emperor heard the first sentence, he still had some hope on his face. However, when he heard the next sentence, the Mad Dragon Emperor's face became a lot more disappointed.
"This old man has tried countless times. The Primal Chaos Lightning has already fused with my body and soul. If I neutralize the Primal Chaos Lightning, this old man will die."
"Even the Heavenly Human Realm experts who met me told me that the Primal Chaos Lightning could not be neutralized."
The Mad Dragon Emperor also tried to neutralize the Primal Chaos Lightning. However, he used all his means and even invited the help of a Heavenly Human Realm expert.
But in the end, he was greatly disappointed.
Even a Heavenly Human Realm expert could not neutralize the Primal Chaos Lightning.
The Primal Chaos Lightning had already fused with him. It could be said that it had already become a part of the Mad Dragon Emperor's body. If he tried to neutralize it forcefully, he'd die along with it.
"What a Heavenly Human Realm expert can't do may not be impossible for me. Since I said that I can save you, I naturally won't go back on my words."
Chu Fengmian said casually. His tone was filled with boundless confidence.
"However, if I want to save you, you'll have to pay the price."
"If Young Master Chu can save my life, I, the Mad Dragon Emperor, am willing to serve Young Master for the rest of my life."
The Mad Dragon Emperor looked at Chu Fengmian and said word by word. His tone was incomparably firm.
Whoever could neutralize the Primal Chaos Lightning would give him a new life. This kind of kindness was worth his life to repay.
"Alright, since that's the case, let's not waste any more time!"
Chu Fengmian did not waste his breath after hearing the Mad Dragon Emperor's promise.
"Young Master, what do you need to prepare?"
The Mad Dragon Emperor asked excitedly.
For him, as long as there was a slight chance, he was willing to give it a try.
"No need."
Chu Fengmian said casually as if he was about to do something insignificant.
Chu Fengmian raised his hand and a surge of spiritual energy gathered in his palm. He then injected it into the Mad Dragon Emperor's body.
