Chapter 22: Facing the Consequences
Boom…
The black dragon suddenly became furious, and the entire deep area of Grand Dragon Cliff trembled. The Dark Pool churned violently, dark waves rising and falling constantly, with lots of black water splashing everywhere.
"Damn it, what’s happening? What is that black lotus?"
The black dragon’s eyes turned blood red, feeling overwhelmed. It sensed an unprecedented kingly aura wreaking havoc in its body and felt its own source energy continuously draining away, something it had never anticipated before.
Buzzing…
Inside the black dragon, the black lotus spun faster and faster, continuously absorbing the dragon’s source energy and then infusing it into Yun Yi’s body.
Yun Yi’s body shook, and all previous pain vanished, leaving only an indescribable comfort. He sat cross-legged, activated his Innate Dao Body, and began to refine the source energy for his own use.
At this moment, Yun Yi felt excited.
A miracle appeared when he was at his lowest point.
This was what Yun Yi truly wanted.
Awooo…
The black dragon roared fiercely, an unimaginable pain driving it mad. It flew up to the Dark Pool, twisting in the air, then fell back down, creating countless splashes.
"That black lotus is the true King of Darkness. This kid actually has such extraordinary potential. I should have killed him earlier and taken the black lotus. One misstep leads to eternal regret."
The black dragon spat out a mouthful of blood. Only then did it realize that what it had consumed was not a blessing, but a disaster.
The black dragon wanted to force out the black lotus and Yun Yi, but sadly, it was easy to call for a god and hard to send one away. Both the black lotus and Yun Yi remained still, and no matter how hard the black dragon tried, it was all in vain.
The black dragon’s predicament was actually of its own making. Its greed had harmed it. If the black dragon hadn’t eaten Yun Yi, with Yun Yi’s abilities, he could not have shaken the black dragon at all.
But inside the body, it was completely different. Even though the black dragon had a strong body, it could not use its power within itself.
Whether it was a person or a demon beast, the inside of their bodies was weak and could not withstand destruction.
"Kid, please come out, I was wrong."
The black dragon begged for mercy, knowing it had angered the power of the Lotus King. If this continued, within three days, its source would be completely absorbed, leading to true death.
"Haha, you think you can eat me and then spit me out? It’s not that easy. This place is nice, and I want to stay here."
Yun Yi laughed heartily, feeling an unexplainable joy. He had finally turned the tables on the black dragon, and there was no way he would let him go.
Besides, the black dragon wanted to kill him and eat him. Yun Yi would not show any mercy to anyone who wanted his life.
This is a cruel world. To survive well, you must first be cruel yourself. If you want to avoid crisis, you must actively eliminate it.
Yun Yi also knew that his uncle Yun Feihu had died at Grand Dragon Cliff, with no remains left. It was very likely that this black dragon had eaten him. This was a blood debt that needed to be repaid today.
Buzz…
The black lotus spun faster and faster, its power ravaging and destroying the black dragon’s body while wildly absorbing its essence.
The black dragon thrashed in the Dark Pool, nearly spilling all the water out; its body twisted continuously as it flew out of the Dark Pool, smashing against the surrounding stone walls.
But this did not ease its pain at all; the feeling of tearing from deep within its soul only grew stronger.
Roar…
The black dragon roared continuously, almost entering a state of madness, its innate power striking out and causing fierce destruction around it.
However, this was still futile; the black dragon could not harm Yun Yi in the slightest. Under the protection of the black lotus, Yun Yi safely refined what he had gained.
Now, the only chance for the black dragon to survive was to force the black lotus and Yun Yi out, but no matter how hard it tried, the black lotus and Yun Yi seemed rooted in place, untouched.
The black dragon’s actions frightened the demon beasts deep within Grand Dragon Cliff into silence.
"What is happening? What happened over at Dark Pool?"
Far in the distance, the Black Flame Lion looked towards Dark Pool. He had lived here for a long time, and the black dragon had never made such a terrible noise before. You see, the black dragon is the king of Grand Dragon Cliff, and no one can harm him.
The Black Flame Lion thought about the young man in white he had seen earlier, wondering if it was related to him. But he quickly dismissed this idea, as the young man was only at the seventh grade of the Open Spirit Realm and could not possibly threaten the black dragon at all.
However, even though the Black Flame Lion felt very surprised, he would never dare to run over to Dark Pool to check it out. Curiosity can be dangerous, and he did not want to die.
Two days passed quickly. During these two days, the black dragon’s roars never stopped, filled with pain, helplessness, unwillingness, and despair.
By now, the black dragon’s cries had completely vanished, and the entire Grand Dragon Cliff returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
On the shore of Dark Pool, the black dragon’s enormous body, as big as a small mountain, lay there, occasionally twitching. Its body was covered in wounds, its eyes were bloodshot, and its dim gaze was filled with despair.
At this moment, the black dragon no longer had any of its previous arrogance. Its aura had completely weakened, and its life was fading away at an incredibly fast speed.
Yun Yi was still inside the black dragon and had not come out, while the black lotus continued to absorb the black dragon’s remaining source of power.
Yun Family Army Camp!
With the soldiers who were previously scattered returning, the Yun Family Army now has almost four thousand members. However, with such a number, it is nearly impossible to compete with the royal family.
Everyone in the Yun Family Army is ready to face death. Under Qian Luofeng’s leadership, the entire Yun Family Army is prepared and just waiting to set off in five days to stand together with their commander, facing life and death.
Yun Yi disappeared for two days. Only Qian Luofeng knows where he went, but the soldiers of the Yun Family Army believe that Yun Yi will surely return. Yun Yi’s performance on the General Selecting Platform has left a deep impression in everyone’s hearts, and they are all certain that Yun Yi is not someone who fears death. They are waiting for Yun Yi to lead them to the Imperial Capital.
Qian Luofeng looks toward the deep direction of Grand Dragon Cliff with a gloomy expression. He is uncertain whether his decision is right, but now, all he can do is leave it to fate.
"Kid, I believe in you. Don’t let me down."
Qian Luofeng murmurs, but inside, he cannot find peace.
