Chapter 588: Obtaining the Fire Dragon Cauldron of the Eight Desolations!
In the eyes of everyone, it was impossible for Lin Xuan to win. In the next moment, a sky-shattering dragon roar echoed, causing the entire Treasure Tower to tremble violently. On the eighth floor, flames surged to the heavens, creating an apocalyptic scene. The onlookers felt a chill run down their spines.
"This is the true power of the Fire Dragon! Young Master Lin definitely can’t withstand it."
"Forget him, no one could withstand it!"
"I think Young Master Lin is going to be reduced to ash!"
The crowd erupted in excited discussion.
You Ruo sneered. "Heh heh, that brat is finally going to be reduced to ash."
Huo Yuner breathed a sigh of relief. "So what if that brat entered the eighth floor? It was all for naught in the end."
Over at the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance, the expressions of those present changed drastically. Wan Er’s face turned deathly pale as she stared at the tower ahead, tears glinting in her eyes. "Young Master Lin, please, you have to be okay!" She prayed fervently in her heart, hoping Lin Xuan would return alive.
On the sixth floor of the Treasure Tower, the Alliance Leader of Tianyang was healing his wounds when he suddenly heard a thunderous dragon roar from the distance. The sound made his very soul tremble.
What terrifying power... This is the power of the eighth floor. Who entered the eighth floor? Even if they did, they couldn’t possibly withstand this power. I wonder how Young Master Lin is doing?
He was incredibly worried about Lin Xuan.
On the seventh floor of the Treasure Tower, Qingyou and Situ Hang were guarding the far end. They planned to wait for Lin Xuan’s return and then join forces to suppress him. Suddenly, a deafening dragon roar erupted from the eighth floor. The two were shaken so badly that their blood churned, and they nearly collapsed. After the roar subsided, they looked at each other in horror.
Is this the power of the eighth floor? Heavens, this is too terrifying!
It exuded a fatal sense of crisis. Fortunately, they hadn’t gone up, or their fate would have been tragic. The two were filled with lingering fear, but then a new worry arose.
Can that Lin Xuan withstand it? He can’t be dead, can he? If he dies, the Dragon Pearl and the Anomalous Fire will be lost on the eighth floor. Then we’ll get nothing!
At this thought, they were beside themselves with anxiety. They desperately wanted to rush over and see for themselves, but their strength was insufficient to enter the eighth floor. They could only wait here, their anxiety mounting.
Brat, you absolutely have to come out alive! At this moment, they actually found themselves hoping that Lin Xuan would not die.
「The eighth floor.」
Covered in Dragon Scales, Lin Xuan resembled a humanoid true dragon. He strode forward and came before the Bahuang Fire Dragon Tower. He asked, "Senior, how do I claim this Treasure Tower?"
The Fire Dragon replied, "This is the Bahuang Fire Dragon Cauldron, a sixth-grade Spiritual Artifact.
"Its power is infinite.
"However, it can only be activated with Dragon Dao Power.
"Infuse your Dragon Power to activate the tower.
"Carve a Dragon Soul Mark upon it, and you can completely subdue this Treasure Tower."
So that’s how it is.
Lin Xuan hesitated no longer. He extended a Dragon Claw and placed it on the cauldron’s body, then channeled the power within him. A thunderous dragon roar sounded as a massive amount of Dragon Power surged into the tower. The Treasure Tower erupted in a brilliant light.
Lin Xuan commanded, "Shrink. Shrink. Shrink."
The tower slowly began to shrink, going from ten thousand zhang tall to a hundred zhang, then ten zhang. Finally, it became a ten-foot-tall small cauldron. Although its size had been reduced, the power emanating from it had not weakened in the slightest.
Lin Xuan lifted the cauldron with one hand and inspected it carefully. He couldn’t help but grin. What a treasure, what an incredible treasure!
A sixth-grade weapon was equivalent to a Martial Emperor-level weapon. It was a whole rank higher than the King level! Lin Xuan’s previous Spirit Dragon Nine Heavens Sword had been a sixth-grade weapon. Now, he possessed two of them.
Next, Lin Xuan acted again. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"Candle Dragon Celestial Light!"
Another dragon roar resounded. Lin Xuan activated his Soul Power and directly carved a Dragon Soul Mark onto the cauldron. The next moment, he felt an inexplicable connection form with the Treasure Tower. With a single thought, the tower transformed into a ray of light and was absorbed into his body.
Excellent! Lin Xuan laughed.
He had now taken control of the Treasure Tower. He just needed to practice more, and he would master it with increasing proficiency. With this cauldron, his strength would rise yet again. Even if he were to face Qingyou and Situ Hang working together, he would have no fear. He could use this cauldron to suppress them both directly!
"Thank you, Senior, for bestowing this treasure upon me," Lin Xuan said, turning to give the Fire Dragon a respectful bow.
The Fire Dragon replied with a look of surprise, "That dragon roar just now was different from the one before. Could it be that you possess two Dragon Souls?"
"You’ve sensed it, Senior? As expected," Lin Xuan smiled. "Indeed, I have two Dragon Souls."
The Fire Dragon was dumbfounded. He asked, "Has the path of the Dragon Warriors been restored in this world? Have the Alien Demons been eradicated?"
Alien Demon? What’s that? Lin Xuan was taken aback.
The big black dog spoke in his mind, Kid, quickly ask him! This could be the reason the path of the Dragon Warriors was severed.
Lin Xuan said, "The path of the Dragon Warriors has not been restored. I only became a Dragon Warrior by a stroke of luck. As far as I know, there are no other Dragon Warriors in this world. I do not know the reason why. Could it be related to these Alien Demons?"
"It hasn’t been restored?" the Fire Dragon sighed, a flicker of anger and despair in its eyes. After a long moment, it nodded. "That’s right. The reason the path of the Dragon Warriors was severed is because of the Alien Demons."
"Who are these Alien Demons? Why do they target Dragon Warriors?"
The Fire Dragon said, "The Alien Demons target not only Dragon Warriors, but the entire Dragon Race. As for why, I am not entirely sure. Perhaps they fear the Dragon Race. I only know that back then, the Dragon Race, the Dragon Warriors, and the Alien Demons fought a great war. The fighting lasted for many years and was incredibly brutal. In the end, the Alien Demons retreated, but the Dragon Race suffered devastating losses. The path of the Dragon Warriors was completely severed during that conflict."
"I had thought that after so many years, the path of the Dragon Warriors would have recovered. To think that it still has not."
Lin Xuan was even more shocked. What was the origin of these Alien Demons? They were powerful enough to wage war against the Dragon Race and even severely wound them! They had managed to sever the path of the Dragon Warriors! It was simply unbelievable.
"I do not know their origins," the Fire Dragon said, shaking its head. "I only know that the Demonic Qi they possess is exceedingly strange. By the way, young one, you must be careful. From what I know, not all of the Alien Demons retreated. Some remained in this world. There are Alien Demon remnants on Dragon Island, so you must be cautious. If they discover you, they will certainly move against you."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan’s heart tightened. He once again thought of the Dragon-Swallowing Map. It seemed to be something that specifically targeted the Dragon Race and Dragon Warriors. He quickly said, "Senior, I have seen a diagram. Could you help me see if it is related to the Alien Demons?"
With a wave of his hand, Lin Xuan used his flames to conjure an image of the Dragon-Swallowing Map.
When the Fire Dragon saw it, its pupils constricted violently. "That’s right! That Python-Sparrow is one of the Alien Demons! Where did you see it? Have you already fought with the Alien Demons?"
Lin Xuan gasped. It really was an Alien Demon artifact! He said, "I have not fought an Alien Demon directly. A human Martial Artist used this Dragon-Swallowing Map to battle me, but I managed to cleave the map in two."
"Young one, you must be extremely careful. You must never be captured by the Alien Demons."
Lin Xuan nodded. "Rest assured, Senior. I will be careful."
Lin Xuan could sense the arduous path that lay ahead. He not only had to gather all sorts of powers to advance his cultivation, but he also had to be wary of the Alien Demons lurking in the shadows of the world. However, Lin Xuan would not be afraid. No one could halt his progress. One day, he would reign supreme over the world! He would eradicate all the Alien Demons! He would restore the path of the Dragon Warriors!
After chatting with the Fire Dragon for a while longer, Lin Xuan prepared to leave.
"I’m leaving, Senior."
Bidding farewell to the Fire Dragon, Lin Xuan turned and returned to the seventh floor.
...
「At the end of the seventh floor.」
Qingyou and Situ Hang were burning with anxiety.
I wonder if that brat can even make it out alive? How long are we going to have to wait?
Just as their patience was wearing thin, a figure appeared at the far end of the seventh floor.
"He’s out! It’s Lin Xuan!" Qingyou exclaimed.
Situ Hang leaped to his feet in excitement.
"Fantastic! The brat is still alive!"
They still had a chance! This time, they would definitely suppress Lin Xuan and seize all the treasures he possessed
