Chapter 456: The Origin of Fire Dragon

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the deepest part of the mine, Jiang Chen and Gao Huoling were shrieking, too.

They had experienced the collapse of the mountain on a scale that was beyond the imagination of those in the air.

After the collapse, the two could have been squeezed to death or paralyzed, dying slowly.

But they had been lucky. They didn’t feel any pressure at all. Instead, their bodies kept falling.

They manipulated their Haloes of Heaven, but it could only slow down their fall, not stop it.

“What happened?” Gao Huoling didn’t understand. She only remembered that she had been practicing when all of this had happened suddenly.

“I think it’s because of me.”

Jiang Chen wasn’t sure, either. He had been practicing the bible Gao Huoling had given him and had succeeded.

However, the phoenix blood in his body had a reaction with the practice tactical formation, consuming all of the crystals of fire dragon in the deepest parts of the mountain.

In this way, the mine had lost its foundation. As a result, it collapsed.

But Jiang Chen didn’t understand why they were falling.

“Could my practice tactical formation have been deployed on the edge of an abyss?”

He looked around, though it was completely dark. He didn’t know how deep down they were. Giant rocks fell from time to time from the opening above them.

“I feel so hot!” Gao Huoling suddenly complained.

“What?”

It was rare for Gaos to complain about heat.

Jiang Chen gazed at her. She was sweating heavily, her hair already wet.

He soon felt the heat as well. He felt as if his soles were burning at first, then the heat spread over him quickly.

“If it goes on like this, even though we’re from the Gaos, we’ll be burnt to death.” Jiang Chen looked down. There was red light surging from the bottomless abyss.

It was like they were looking down from a crater. A heat that could evaporate human beings was rushing onto their cheeks.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen saw the red light move!

It wasn’t the irregular flickering of light, but a swimming trace of a living creature. And it wasn’t unfamiliar to him.

It was a dragon!

He had seen the black dragon swimming in exactly the same manner at the Black Dragon Pool.

Is there a fire dragon living underground?

No way. This is a small world. Dragons would die quickly underground here! Could it be another soul?

Extremely surprised, Jiang Chen tried to stay calm.

“Jiang Chen, I can’t hold on anymore.” At first, Gao Huoling’s voice had sounded uncomfortable, and at that moment, it was very weak. Her lips were incredibly dry.

“Come here!”

Taking her hands, Jiang Chen started to manipulate his Halo of Heaven madly. He pushed with great effort, although there was nothing solid under his feet.

“Jiang Chen, what about you...”

Gao Huoling was very surprised when she realized what he was going to do. Before she could finish her words, she had been shot like an arrow.

The price was Jiang Chen falling almost 3,000 feet. All of his clothes were burnt to ash.

At the same time, he saw what the source of light was.

“The origin of fire dragon!

“It’s the origin of fire dragon!”

The source of crystals was the pure essence of crystals, a kind of energy of the universe that could be absorbed directly by human beings.

The origin was something spiritual created from the source of crystals. It wasn’t dead anymore—it was spiritual.

Growl!

It seemed Jiang Chen’s presence had been detected. The fire dragon gave out a long roar.

The eight groups of spiritual beings in Jiang Chen’s chest pocket vibrated. After waking up, the black dragon said, “What’s going on? Why was there a dragon roar?!”

The black dragon was emotional upon hearing the roar of another dragon after hundreds, even thousands, of years.

But he was disappointed after Jiang Chen had told him about the situation. He said, “The Dragon Dynasty from the Dragon Field? A long time ago, the Dragon Field was where the dragons lived. That’s why it’s called the Dragon Field. Then the Dragon King found the Dragon Realm and called on the holy dragons all over the Nine Realms to go there.

“Many dragons traveled to the Dragon Realm, but there were still some of them in the Nine Realms for all kinds of reasons. I was one of them. As for the Dragon Dynasty, it started because a foolish guy fell in love with the monarch that had established the country—”

“Man, I’m really interested in the story, but right now, my feathers are about to burn. Could you tell me something useful?” Jiang Chen interrupted him impatiently, forgetting about his manners.

“What else can you do? Defeat it, or die,” the black dragon said unhappily.

“How do I defeat it?”

“The origin of fire dragon is one of the secret treasures of dragons. That stupid guy stole it and helped the Dragon Dynasty get endless crystals. The origin is a secret treasure itself, a kind of energy. You have to break it apart and absorb it,” said the black dragon.

“Break it apart at close range?”

“The origin has no way to attack, but it’s so hot that even Venerables can’t stand it. The blood in your body might allow you to stand it, or it might not. But do you have a choice?” said the black dragon.

Jiang Chen looked up. Gao Huoling fell once again. It wouldn’t take long for her to fall to the height where she couldn’t withstand the heat.

“Fine!” Jiang Chen gnashed his teeth. He charged down, holding his knife and sword in hand.

His long hair soon started to burn, but thanks to the phoenix blood in his body, it wasn’t burnt right away. Instead, each of his hairs was glowing.

If he were in armor, he would look like a descending god.

When he was already very close to the fire dragon, he felt like all of his teeth were burning, and his eyes hurt so much that he couldn’t even open them.

Death was near again. His spirit was about to be broken.

“I, Jiang Chen, am going to be a Martial Saint! How could I end up dying here?!” he shouted out in anger at this crucial moment and threw his sword out.

As the black dragon had said, the fire dragon was only an energy with consciousness, but weak at defense.

The dragon body broke immediately when the sword hit it. The energy splashed everywhere, like boiling liquid iron.

Jiang Chen couldn’t even see the fire dragon clearly, since all he could see was brilliant light.

“Jiang Chen?”

Gao Huoling was on the verge of fainting again because of the heat. The world was a blur to her. She only saw Jiang Chen fighting against something that looked like a giant underground beast.

She was most surprised at seeing Jiang Chen’s naked butt moving around.

Is this an illusion? she thought to herself.

At the same time, Jiang Chen kept waving his sword, absorbing the liquid-iron-like origin of fire dragon, but the effects of this process couldn’t be compared with that of him being burned.

“Are you silly or what? Why aren’t you using your holy pulse?” the black dragon scolded unkindly.

His words reminded Jiang Chen, who hurried to turn to his holy pulse. As expected, he absorbed the energy more efficiently.

The more he absorbed from the fire dragon, the less energy remained in it. So as long as Jiang Chen could make it through the most difficult part, he would be fine.

However, he felt like his insides were burning. When he opened his mouth, there was fire coming out of it.

He suddenly had an idea. He cut into his blood vessels with the Red Cloud Sword and started to bleed.

This way, not only could he cool himself down, but the blood-forming function of his body could be activated to counterbalance the high temperature.

What he never foresaw was that his blood permeated through the skin of his back while he was absorbing the origin of fire dragon.

The part of the fire dragon that he had absorbed appeared on his back. When he had absorbed all of the energy, a vivid dragon could be seen on his back, growling!

But Jiang Chen couldn’t see it. He blacked out.
