123: Skyfire Remnant Soul

“This aura is identical to the black Qi emanating from the battlefield outside Lingxu Grotto-Heaven!”

“So that’s what they call Devilish Qi?”

Long Yuan finally understood what Devilish Qi was!

However,

to Chu Yan’s surprise,

under the sharp gazes of so many powerful individuals,

the Nine Nether Sky Demon Fire actually trembled violently!

“How can this be?”

The Nine Nether Sky Demon Fire hadn’t developed sentience,

so how could it be afraid like a living being?

Just then,

a black light shot out from the Nine Nether Sky Demon Fire,

heading towards Chu Yan’s glabella.

The latter was greatly alarmed.

Although he didn’t know what it was, he felt a sense of unease.

Immediately, the energy within his body erupted,

forming a crimson energy barrier in front of him!

But this couldn’t stop the black light at all.

The opponent passed through the barrier unobstructed, touched Chu Yan’s glabella, and intended to merge with him!

Yet, in the next instant,

the black light instantly froze in place.

It was Long Yuan who had acted!

“A remnant soul?”

Long Yuan looked at the black light.

“Ah! You lowly Dragon Clan, let go of this venerable one!”

The remnant soul struggled fiercely,

roaring at Long Yuan.

At this moment, he manifested his form.

It was actually a humanoid creature with two wings on its back and bull horns on its head.

Long Yuan frowned.

So this was what they called the Demon Race?

The aura on the opponent was identical to the Devilish Qi on the battlefield at the entrance of Lingxu Grotto-Heaven.

He recalled the blood-stained ancient coffin beneath Qingyang Lake.

Just now, when the Third Ancient Ancestor mentioned the Demon Race,

he had thought that thing was the Demon Race.

But now it seemed the opponent was not!

That creature not only had no Devilish Qi,

but its appearance was also very different from the Demon Race!

That creature gave him an extremely sinister feeling, even more sinister than the Demon Race!

At this moment, the demonic soul struggled violently.

He stared at Long Yuan with eyes as big as gongs.

Had he known this,

he should have directly taken Possession of Chu Yan, this human boy, before entering Lingxu Grotto-Heaven!

The reason he didn’t do so

was merely to quietly hide in the exotic flame to recuperate and recover from his injuries!

“A mere Longevity Realm dares to clamor in front of me? I think you’re seeking death!”

Long Yuan’s Dragon claw exerted a little force,

and the demonic soul felt an unparalleled power being applied to him,

as if it was about to crush him!

“Ah! Little Dragon, how dare you! If you dare to kill me, when my Demon Race Ancestor Dragon descends in the future, he will surely flay you, draw your tendons, and cast you into the eighteen layers of Hell!”

“If you spare my life and take me away from here, when my Demon Race army descends in the future, I will surely plead with Ancestor Dragon to take you as his subordinate general. Perhaps you might even obtain a drop of Ancestor Dragon’s essence blood. That should be the treasure you dream of, right!”

The demonic soul said to Long Yuan in a low voice.

Transforming one’s Bloodline into Ancestor Dragon Bloodline should be the dream of all Dragon Clan, right!

Crack!

Long Yuan pinched the demonic soul’s head with two fingers,

and scoffed, “Ancestor Dragon Bloodline? Hahaha, my Bloodline has long surpassed Ancestor Dragon Bloodline. Do you think that trash can move me!”

“Nonsense! You, a mixed-blood Dragon Clan of unknown Bloodline, dare to speak so wildly, saying you surpass Ancestor Dragon Bloodline? What a joke!”

“I’ll give you one more chance to choose!”

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking,

his remnant soul was directly crushed by Long Yuan.

“I thought the Demon Race was something extraordinary. Turns out they’re just a bunch of frogs in a well!”

Long Yuan said with disdain.

What Supreme Ancestor Dragon Bloodline?

That’s because you haven’t cheated!

Chu Yan broke out in a cold sweat.

After refining the Nine Nether Sky Demon Fire for so long, he didn’t know there was actually a Demon Race remnant soul residing within it!

“Fortunately, the Beast God is here. Otherwise, I might really have been taken Possession of!”

However, if there were no Beast God,

then he might have died at the hands of the executioner.

“Is there still Demon Race Qi?”

“If not, I should be able to take him away, right!”

Long Yuan looked at the Third Ancient Ancestor and the others and asked.

“Let him visit the Hall of Valor!”

The Third Ancient Ancestor said.

The Hall of Valor was an ancient artifact that could detect whether one possessed Demon Race Qi.

And just now, he had been observing Long Yuan’s attitude towards the Demon Race,

and found that the opponent indeed seemed to have no relation to the Demon Race.

Moreover,

the opponent seemed to be in opposition to Netherworld Hell,

which was enough to show that the opponent was not standing on their side!

Not long after, Chu Yan was brought back by Wang Zuo.

“Reporting to Ancient Ancestor, he no longer has any Demon Race Qi on him!” Wang Zuo replied.

“Since that’s the case, then you may take him and leave!”

The Third Ancient Ancestor said to Long Yuan.

He also didn’t want to be enemies with the opponent,

especially since the aura on the opponent was still slowly increasing.

Even he was not confident he could suppress the opponent!

“But Ancient Ancestor, he has gained the recognition of our Lingxu Grotto-Heaven’s divine flame, Azure Sky Void Flame! Are we to let him take the divine flame away as well?”

Wang Zuo said with a bitter face.

That was their Lingxu Grotto-Heaven’s only divine flame!

Oh?

Long Yuan looked at Chu Yan in surprise.

This guy actually obtained a divine flame?

Not bad, not bad.

He truly lived up to being the Chu family’s naturally born Saint Body.

His Opportunity was unparalleled!

The Third Ancient Ancestor frowned.

The divine flame was actually taken by the opponent?

This was a true treasure!

“It’s fine. Since the divine flame recognizes him as its master, then it is his destiny!”

“This Dragon Clan friend, please come for a chat!”

Just then,

a voice suddenly sounded.

“It’s the First Ancient Ancestor who guards the entrance to the Demonic Cave!”

The Third Ancient Ancestor said.

Long Yuan frowned slightly,

then smiled, “Since Your Excellency invites me, then I won’t be polite!”

He wanted to see why this First Ancient Ancestor invited him.

Anyway, with his current strength,

these people at least could no longer pose any threat to him!

Deep within Lingxu Grotto-Heaven,

beside a several-thousand-meter-wide abyss covered by a golden light curtain,

Long Yuan transformed into human form,

and sat opposite three old men.

One of them was the Third Ancient Ancestor,

and the other two were the First and Second Ancient Ancestors.

The three of them were similar in strength,

all Half-Step Sky Opening Realm powerhouses!

All three were clad in broken armor and looked weathered.

“The previous events were all a misunderstanding. Please don’t take offense, Fellow Daoist!”

The First Ancient Ancestor spoke,

his voice very ancient,

as if he hadn’t spoken for countless years.

“No matter. I haven’t fought like this in too long. Today’s battle indeed brought me joy!”

Long Yuan said calmly.

Or rather, since he had started cheating, he had never fought so heartily.

At least today was the first time he had been injured!

The three Ancient Ancestors were all stunned,

then laughed heartily, “Fellow Daoist indeed has a broad mind!”

Long Yuan smiled.

He was just telling the truth.

Suddenly, he looked at the abyss covered by the golden light curtain and said, “Is this the Demon Race entrance you spoke of?”

“That’s right. This is the passage between the Demon Realm and the Human Realm!”

The First Ancient Ancestor nodded, “There are nine passages from the Demon Realm to the Human Realm, located in the nine Forbidden Grounds of the Human Realm, and our Nine Great Forbidden Zones are responsible for guarding them!”

“Our Nine Great Forbidden Zones are connected, forming a Supreme Formation that jointly Seals the entrance!”

Long Yuan suddenly understood.

Before, he had felt that the Nine Great Forbidden Zones subtly resembled a Grand Array,

but he wasn’t sure.

Now it seemed that was indeed the case!
