"This is the Three Thousand Flames. Its power, accumulated over years, once unsealed, is enough to destroy the entire Holy Dan City. Next, you will advance one by one to see if you can subdue it. Chen Guan, you are the champion of the Dan Association, so you go first. Remember, use gentle means and never awaken it from its slumber!"
After a long silence, the Great Elder solemnly reminded him.
"On the dragon head of the Three Thousand Flames, there is a scale not covered by flames. That is where its original flame lies!"
After a pause, the Great Elder added.
The Dan Tower had sealed the Three Thousand Flames for many years, so naturally they were familiar with it. Many, including the Great Elder, had attempted to subdue it.
Unfortunately, all had failed.
"Thank you," Chen Guan nodded in response.
Suddenly, all eyes focused on him, their faces expressing varying expressions. With the exception of Cao Ying and Dan Chen, the others hoped that Chen Guan could scout the way so that they could be prepared.
At the same time, they were worried that Chen Guan would subdue the Three Thousand Flames, leaving them with nothing to lose, their entire journey in vain, without even a chance to try...
"Junior Brother, be careful."
"Yes."
Giving Cao Ying a reassuring look, Chen Guan took a deep breath and slowly stepped forward, approaching the sleeping dragon.
As the distance between them grew closer, the invisible dragon's might grew heavier, making Chen Guan feel as if he were trapped in a quagmire.
Just then, a stinging, burning sensation in his palm intensified. Chen Guan opened his palm and saw that the dragon seal planted by Zi Yan had spontaneously activated, emitting a faint, dark golden glow.
The golden light wasn't strong, but it instantly relieved Chen Guan of much of his stress, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
He hadn't expected the dragon seal to have such an effect!
A slight smile rose from his lips, and a flash of lightning flashed beneath Chen Guan's feet. The Three Thousand Thunders activated, and he deftly dodged the purple-black flames emanating from the dragon's body. He shifted and moved, quickly arriving in front of the enormous dragon's head.
Now, facing the Three Thousand Flames up close, Chen Guan's size felt like a pebble before a towering mountain. He truly experienced the immensity of a behemoth. A single dragon scale on the giant's body was almost as tall as he was...
Adjusting his aura slightly, Chen Guan ascended into the air. With a sweep of his spiritual power, he instantly located the scale not covered by the purple-black flames.
"Success or failure depends on this one!"
Forcing the blood from the dragon seal in his palm to the surface, Chen Guan's gaze suddenly sharpened. Without hesitation, he pressed directly against the scale.
Soul power surged forth, flowing down his arm, through the scale, and into the Three Thousand Flames.
Instantly, the world before Chen Guan's eyes transformed.
This was a world dominated by purple and black. Countless dark threads intertwined along the hazy borders in all directions, forming an impenetrable web.
This was the seal of the Danta!
Before he could even marvel at the seal's strength, Chen Guan's gaze was quickly drawn to a small, half-foot-long purple dragon in the center of the space.
Countless black threads were also wrapped around the little dragon, making it difficult to move.
The little dragon's eyes were tightly closed, but the madness and violent intent in it were extremely strong.
Sensing someone coming in, the little dragon's closed pupils slowly opened, and then revealed a very human and bloodthirsty "smile"!
Chen Guan couldn't help but be surprised to see a dragon making such a human expression, and quietly extinguished the gentle means of persuasion and persuasion.
It still takes force!
"Stupid human."
Just as Chen Guan was looking at it, the fire dragon suddenly spoke in human language, and the voice was full of disdainful mockery.
If you cover your eyes, it is hard to imagine that this is the will of a flame.
"Well, since you are so smart, you should make the right choice. Become my strength. I will say the words "Three Thousand Flames of Fire" and bring glory again!"
"Get out!"
Hearing Chen Guan's reassurance, the mockery in Three Thousand Flames' eyes deepened. This time, it didn't waste any more words, but spoke directly in a cold voice. As soon as
the word fell, before Chen Guan could offer any further persuasion, streams of purple-black flames suddenly erupted from the dragon's body, sweeping towards Chen Guan with overwhelming force.
Seeing this creature's impulsive attack, Chen Guan immediately grew serious. He slightly contracted his soul power, and violently mobilized the strange fire within him, meeting the Three Thousand Flames!
"Swish!"
In a split second, two incredibly powerful flames instantly merged within the purple-black world. The terrifying heat emanated from the depths of his soul, nearly overwhelming Chen Guan, as if his mental strength was about to evaporate into nothingness.
"You beast, you're even targeting me!"
Sensing the hidden joy in Three Thousand Flames's expression, Chen Guan laughed furiously.
The spiritual power of this strange fire was no less than that of a human!
Cursing silently, Chen Guan mobilized a vast amount of mental energy to protect himself, staring at the powerful and terrifying purple-black flames as he forced his way through. Even the intense synaesthesia emanating from the depths of his soul couldn't stop him.
Finally, after a moment of silent advance, Chen Guan's consciousness appeared before the little dragon.
Without hesitation, Chen Guan extended his palm and pressed it firmly against the little dragon's forehead.
The dragon seal on his palm shone brightly, and an indescribable dragon power emanated, causing Three Thousand Flames' body to stiffen, and his eyes to become dull.
At the same time, a strange symbol appeared faintly on his forehead. The rune was remarkably similar to the dragon seal on Chen Guan's palm,
except that the symbol on the little dragon's head looked much simpler in comparison!
"It's a dragon seal indeed!"
The two dragon seals shone brightly, and Chen Guan could sense a strange connection between himself and Three Thousand Flames, allowing him to more clearly sense its emotions.
"Roar!"
Just as Chen Guan was stunned by this sudden change, the Three Thousand Flames Flame, which had been momentarily stunned by the appearance of the seal, regained consciousness. As if it had understood something, a cold, fierce gleam flashed from its dragon eyes, staring intently at Chen Guan. The rune on its forehead grew brighter and brighter.
Feeling the fierce gaze of the Three Thousand Flames Flame, Chen Guan's heart trembled. He knew the most dangerous moment was approaching!
As Zi Yan had said, the dragon seal was relative. If he couldn't control the Three Thousand Flames Flame, then it would control him. This was something Chen Guan could never allow.
With a roaring dragon roar, the rune on the Three Thousand Flames Flame's forehead suddenly glowed with golden light, like a dazzling little sun, rising slowly within the misty purple-black space.
As the rune on the Three Thousand Flames Flame's forehead glowed brighter and brighter, Chen Guan realized that his connection with it was growing stronger.
A moment later, his vision shifted again, his mind drifting for a moment. When he regained consciousness, he realized he was in a profoundly unfamiliar space.
Once again, a nesting doll…
Purple-black flames swirled, a howling wind blew. An incredibly massive dragon slowly rose from the sea of fire, then hovered in the sky, its gaze coldly fixed on Chen Guan within.
The previous space had been the source of the strange fire, but the current one was more appropriately described as a spiritual realm!
"A clash of souls? Just what I want!"
Chen Guan glanced down at the slightly illusory form, not surprised but delighted.
Ever since the Jia Ma Empire began its journey abroad, his strongest force had always been his soul!
This time, it was a perfect match for his expertise!
With a thought, his vast soul power formed a lotus seat beneath him, and he sat cross-legged. "
Let it be strong, a gentle breeze sweeps across the hills!
Let it be aggressive, a bright moon illuminates the river!
I'll let you attack for a few rounds!"
Seeing Chen Guan standing still, the Three Thousand Flames roared angrily. Within this space, the purple-black flames suddenly surged wildly, then surged towards Chen Guan in an overwhelming, terrifying display.
Yet, facing this frenzied onslaught of the Three Thousand Flames, Chen Guan remained calm. In this clash of souls, everything was a manifestation of the spirit.
Such petty tricks were useless to him!
At this moment, it was not just the soul that was at stake, but also the will.
Whoever could remain lucid and persevere to the end would be the victor!
