"Yan Hong"
When Long Chen saw the person on the flower core, his eyes nearly popped out. That person was none other than Yan Hong, whom Long Chen had once killed. He looked exactly alike.
"What's going on?" Long Chen was stunned—how could he be here?
"There's nothing strange about it. The Yanxu lineage is a super powerful Fire Spirit branch. Although it can't compare to the immortality of the Santong Swallowing Sky Beast clan, they possess formidable reincarnation abilities.
After Yan Hong's death, his will entered reincarnation and happened to be captured by this Flame Void Divine Lotus, which reshaped his body. You can think of it as having been reincarnated. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
"I see."
Long Chen suddenly understood. The Yanxu lineage was known as the strongest flame in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so having such an ability was not surprising.
"Heh heh, damn it, in your last life you were slain by me, but after reincarnation, you'll still fall into my hands." Long Chen looked at Yan Hong lying among the flower stamens, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"Don't do anything reckless. This Flame Void Divine Lotus reshapes its body. Their souls are connected. If you try to kill it, it will immediately alert the sleeping Flame Void Divine Lotus." The Qiankun Cauldron warned.
"You mean that from now on, this Yanxu Divine Lotus will be Yan Hong's guardian deity?" Long Chen asked.
"That's right, it's like turning misfortune into blessing. From now on, this Yanxu Divine Lotus will become his new phenomenon, and their powers will be shared." Qiankun Cauldron said.
"Damn, this is so damn annoying!"
Long Chen immediately felt a pang of jealousy. This guy is just too lucky.
"No, I need to study it." Long Chen quietly approached Yan Hong and found that his soul had completely lost its fluctuation, as if he were dead.
Long Chen knew this was because Yan Hong's soul was connected to the soul of the Yan Xu Divine Lotus, both asleep.
"Huo Ling'er, come here. Stop absorbing that trash." Long Chen called Huo Ling'er over, pointed at Yan Hong's body, and said,
"The essence of the Yan Xu Flame is all here. See if you can parasitize him without alerting them."
"Let me try."
Hearing Long Chen's suggestion, Huo Ling'er's eyes immediately lit up. She formed hand seals with her jade-like hand, and a black fire dragon appeared in her hand, which looked no bigger than an earthworm.
That miniature black fire dragon was formed from the purest Yan Xu power within Huo Ling'er, and only this miniature dragon's fluctuations resembled those of Yan Hong's body.
The black fire dragon slowly climbed onto Yan Hong's arm. As soon as it touched Yan Hong's body, Yan Hong's body trembled violently. At that moment, Long Chen and Huo Ling'er were both startled, thinking Yan Hong was about to wake up.
Fortunately, Yan Hong's body only trembled slightly, as if shivering in his sleep, with no other disturbances.
After observing for a while and confirming there was no problem, Huo Ling'er directed the black fire dragon to slowly press close to Yan Hong's body, finally leaving a tattoo on his arm like a tattoo.
"Done!"
Huo Ling'er was thrilled. Yan Hong's body was the purest form of Yan Xu Flame, allowing her to continuously absorb Yan Xu power.
"Don't get too worked up yet. Keep nurturing parasitic fire dragons—the more, the better. Keep them inside his body, and we'll take them back together later." Long Chen said.
"Alright."
Huo Ling'er hurriedly followed Long Chen's instructions and quickly condensed a second black fire dragon. Within this dragon was Yan Hong's power, so when it struck Yan Hong, he didn't react at all.
Just like that, one, two, three... Huo Ling'er had over ten thousand black fire dragons implanted inside Yan Hong's body.
One of them was even imprinted directly on Yan Hong's forehead. This black fire dragon had been branded by Huo Ling'er with a soul imprint, essentially one of her avatars.
As a result, tens of thousands of fire dragons parasitized Yan Hong's body. As long as the time was right, Huo Ling'er could withdraw the parasitic power.
Because the parasitic power does not threaten Yan Hong's life, it will not alert the Yanxu Divine Lotus at all.
This way, even if Yan Hong woke up, he wouldn't know what was wrong with his body.
After arranging everything, to avoid alerting the Yanxu Divine Lotus, Long Chen and Huo Ling'er quietly withdrew from the lotus and returned to the passage where the Dragon Blood Legion was located.
At this moment, the warriors of the Dragon Blood Legion were all fully recovered and full of energy. During this period, they had taken the Heavenly Dao Fruit given to them by Long Chen, and each of them was now a Seven-Star Destiny Holder.
With the strength and comprehension of the Dragonblood warriors, plus the support of the Destiny Fruit, they were like a tiger with wings.
The masters of those Seven-Star Destiny Fruits are of average strength, but the fruits they contribute can have terrifying effects on the Dragon Blood Legion.
At this moment, the Dragonblood warriors felt the terrifying power of Destiny. Each of them gritted their teeth in anger. If they had been besieged by the Celestial Clan back then, with their current strength, they wouldn't have been so disheveled.
"Go!"
Long Chen waved his hand, and the Qiankun Cauldron appeared in his hand. He smashed it fiercely into the void, causing it to collapse abruptly, forming a massive vortex.
"Whoosh."
Everyone's vision blurred, space shifted, and the dark world before them vanished. They had arrived before the massive spatial gate.
This gate was the very Yanxu Gate they had previously forced their way in. Now, seeing it again, everyone felt as if they had stepped into another world.
However, when they arrived again in front of the Yanxu Gate, they found the entire battlefield had been cleared out, and it was different from before Long Chen arrived.
Clearly, Long Chen had killed a powerful member of the Celestial Clan, and the Celestial Clan had made another surprise attack. Unfortunately, by then Long Chen had already entered the Gate of Flame Void.
Long Chen had been in the Yanxu World for several days now. After this group returned, they cleaned up the battlefield and then left.
"Let's go find the Celestial Clan. Our Dragonblood Legion will fight them to the death." Long Chen said coldly.
The Tianren Clan has gone too far; this matter absolutely cannot be left unresolved. The Dragonblood Legion was nearly wiped out, and this grudge was so deep it was a fight to the death.
"Boss, don't rush to find them. While we were being hunted, I discovered a treasure spot. Let's head there first." Guo Ran hurriedly said.
"What treasure land?" Long Chen was taken aback.
...
Long Chen arrived at the treasure land Guo Ran had mentioned. It turned out to be a mountain range shrouded in immortal mist, stretching endlessly.
Within the endless immortal mist, rumbling and explosive sounds could be heard from time to time, and faint traces of dust erupting from the shattering mountains could be seen.
"Not good, someone is mining our immortal mine." Seeing this, Xia Chen and Guo Ran were both shocked and furious, and the group rushed straight into the mountains.
Everyone followed Xia Chen and Guo Ran at full speed, soon seeing countless figures ahead. When they saw a sky-covering banner planted atop a mountain peak, the eyes of the Dragonblood warriors instantly turned blood-red.
