Chapter 19: Dark Pool

"I won’t go, I won’t go."

The Black Flame Lion struggled desperately, his fear amplified. His front legs were lifted by Yun Yi while his back legs kept resisting, unwilling to take a step forward.

Are you joking? Going to the Dark Pool is like asking for death! Is the Dark Pool a place for others to go? If you anger that black dragon, you’ll be left with nothing.

"The mighty Black Flame Lion, is this all you can do?"

Yun Yi looked at him with disdain.

"Big brother, this has nothing to do with courage. You really can’t go there! I advise you not to go either. Why risk your life at such a young age? That black dragon can swallow even innate realm experts in one bite. If we go, we’ll just be food for him."

The Black Flame Lion pleaded desperately; no one knew the terror of the Dark Pool better than him.

Yun Yi was speechless. The brutal Black Flame Lion surprisingly showed such a cowardly side. However, the Lion’s behavior only served to further prove the frightening nature of the dragon soul.

But Yun Yi was determined to go to the Dark Pool. The dragon soul was his only chance, and also the last opportunity for the Yun Family Army. He could not give up. Here, he had an innate advantage with his Dark Spirit Body.

"I am not asking you; take me to the Dark Pool right now, or I will kill you. Bring me to the Dark Pool, and I’ll let you leave. Whether you live or die, I’ll give you three breaths to decide."

Yun Yi’s face turned cold, and a chilling aura surged from him, enveloping the Black Flame Lion completely.

Under the pressure of the dark power, the Black Flame Lion shivered. The dark power from Yun Yi felt like the ruler of the darkness, making his soul feel like it wanted to obey.

The Black Flame Lion then realized that this boy was not joking with him at all, and his own fate was completely in this boy’s hands; he had no other choice.

"Alright, I’ll take you."

The Black Flame Lion said. Even though he was terrified, he did not dare to hesitate for a moment. He could see that this boy was definitely not joking. If he dared to say no, he would instantly die.

Although going to the Dark Pool was extremely dangerous, he thought that if he only took Yun Yi there and left immediately without disturbing the black dragon, he could still save his life.

"Hurry up, don’t waste my time."

Yun Yi said impatiently.

With the Black Flame Lion leading the way, the two of them walked nearly a hundred miles down the steep and uneven Grand Dragon Cliff. They had truly reached the deepest part of the Grand Dragon Cliff, where the dark power around them had become even denser. Yun Yi felt relaxed and incredibly comfortable in this environment.

He continuously used the black lotus to absorb the surrounding dark power for his own use, and without realizing it, his power was steadily increasing.

The Black Flame Lion nearby was trembling all over. This trembling was not caused by the environment; the Black Flame Lion itself belonged to the dark type of demon beast, and the environment here was actually beneficial for it. The reason the Black Flame Lion was trembling was simply because it was scared.

The Black Flame Lion’s behavior made Yun Yi realize that they were getting close to the Dark Pool.

After walking for nearly half an hour, they did not encounter any other demon beasts along the way.

According to the Black Flame Lion, because of the presence of the dragon soul and the environmental factors, the number of demon beasts here was already very low. Now, at the deepest level, as they were about to reach the Dark Pool, this place was entirely the territory of the black dragon. Ordinary demon beasts would never dare to come here unless they wanted to perish.

"We have arrived; ahead is the Dark Pool."

The Black Flame Lion stopped, no longer daring to take another step, looking ahead with a face full of fear.

Yun Yi followed its gaze and saw ahead, two or three miles away, a large black pool about a hundred feet in size. Above the black pool, black mist rolled continuously, as if dragon shadows were flickering.

The dark power there was extremely thick, nearly turning into substance; it was the core area of the entire Grand Dragon Cliff.

"The black dragon is in the Dark Pool; I advise you to leave quickly. This place is not meant for humans."

The Black Flame Lion said, trying to lower his voice, but he could not hide the shaking in his tone.

"Go away!"

Yun Yi kicked the Black Flame Lion hard in the backside, never having seen such a cowardly Black Flame Lion before; it was truly embarrassing.

Whoosh!

When the Black Flame Lion heard Yun Yi tell him to go away, he felt like he had been given a second chance. He turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Huh~

Yun Yi let out a deep breath and strode towards the Dark Pool.

The black lotus in his dantian kept shaking, looking unusually excited, and this excitement from the black lotus gave Yun Yi a lot of confidence.

"It’s all up to you. I hope you can control the Dragon Soul."

Yun Yi thought to himself; going to the Dark Pool was like taking a risky leap, and what awaited him could very well be a true abyss.

The closer he got to the Dark Pool, the darker the energy became, making it feel chilling to the bone.

Soon, Yun Yi reached the edge of the Dark Pool and looked down. The pool was filled entirely with black water, made up of dark energy.

Yun Yi realized that all the dark energy inside Grand Dragon Cliff came from here; this Dark Pool was truly the source of Grand Dragon Cliff.

"I never expected there was such a place beneath Grand Dragon Cliff. No wonder Uncle Bloodcoat said there could be a great opportunity here. Leaving aside the dragon soul, if I could cultivate in this Dark Pool for a few days, the benefits would be unimaginable."

Looking at the black water ahead, excitement sparkled in Yun Yi’s eyes.

For an ordinary person, the overwhelming dark energy in such an environment would be unbearable, but for Yun Yi, this place felt like a true treasure. The cold, dark power made him feel as though he was bathing in a warm ocean.

"According to the Black Flame Lion, the dragon soul should be sleeping at the bottom of this Dark Pool. I won’t disturb it for now. I don’t know how deep this Dark Pool is, so I will find a spot to cultivate and try to reach the seventh grade of the Open Spirit Realm first."

Yun Yi thought to himself, then jumped directly into the Dark Pool and began to cultivate at the very edge.

Since the existence of Grand Dragon Cliff, this is probably the first one brave enough to practice in the Dark Pool; this is truly a reckless act.

But for Yun Yi, he had no other choice; this was his only chance to quickly improve his skills.

More importantly, deep inside Yun Yi, there was a desire for that Dragon Soul, which must surely be a dark dragon, just like himself. His Dark Body, high above, held a true path and was the true King of Darkness.

This was Yun Yi’s advantage, but he did not know how much this advantage could restrain the Dragon Soul; it was basically a gamble.

And Yun Yi had to take the gamble.
