Chapter 6312 - Caught in One's Own Trap

This is the Dragon Crystal, a lifetime legacy of a divine emperor expert, and the only inheritance left to future generations. When Hai Mingkong and others acquired it, the first person they thought of was Long Chen. Long Chen had shattered the imperial crown, making it impossible to condense the imperial flame, which deeply troubled every expert in the Dragon Domain. Now, they finally had a chance to make amends. Even without the imperial flame, Long Chen was already so powerful. With the addition of the imperial flame, his strength would surely reach new heights. Long Chen was deeply moved. From the eager eyes of Hai Mingkong and others, he could see that they truly wished him well, without any reluctance. Long Chen shook his head, saying, 'This Imperial Fire Dragon Crystal holds no significance for me. You should keep it safe for now. We have descendants of the Fire Dragon Clan within our tribe. It would be best to hand the Dragon Crystal to them. That is its rightful place.' Seeing Long Chen refuse, a Dragon Domain expert couldn't help but say, 'Lord Long Chen, if you think that over eight hundred imperial flames are beneath you, you could let your Fire Spirit absorb them. If she absorbs them, she would definitely become a powerful aid to you.' 'Yes, with a strong helper, your safety would be more assured. The imperial flames within this Dragon Crystal are extremely pure. We only used it to absorb the energy within the Fire Domain, and the imperial flames have surged to their current level. It's definitely a treasure. Why don't you take a look first and then decide whether to keep it or not?' Hai Mingkong was somewhat unwilling to give up. 'I don't want it. The path I will walk in the future is my own,' came the voice of Huo Ling'er, who also refused. The current Huo Ling'er had practiced the Guiyi Technique and had changed completely. She began to explore her own arts and dao. Although others' things could elevate her quickly, in the long run, they could become obstacles on her path. Seeing Long Chen refuse, Hai Mingkong wanted to insist, but Long Chen interrupted, 'Don't rush off just yet. Join me as we head to the Fire Domain.' 'What for? Most of the Evil Dragon Clan doesn't know we've escaped and are still gathering in the Fire Domain. If we return now, wouldn't we be walking into a trap?' Hai Mingkong was stunned. 'If we don't walk into the trap, how can we ensnare them all?' Long Chen laughed. 'Lord, do you mean...' Hai Mingkong was both surprised and delighted. 'Let's go, directly. But there's no need to hurry. I have some things to ponder along the way.' Mo Nian pulled out a flying tool again. Of course, it was still a coffin plank, but this one was larger, carrying everyone toward the Fire Domain. 'Long Chen, you've managed to condense the imperial flame?' On the coffin plank, Mo Nian looked at Long Chen in surprise. 'How did you know?' Long Chen was also surprised. His imperial flame was completely hidden within his bloodline, compressed by the supreme bone, without any external release, yet Mo Nian noticed it. 'I knew it! My senses weren't wrong. Haha, this is great. You're ready to soar from here,' Mo Nian chuckled. Long Chen suddenly realized that Mo Nian's cultivation path was also quite peculiar. He didn't have a trace of imperial flame either. Long Chen's eyes turned: 'Oh, you had already condensed the imperial flame long before?' 'Haha, only slightly before you!' Mo Nian laughed, unusually humble. Looking at Mo Nian's sly smile, Long Chen couldn't help but ask, 'Are there many imperial flames?' 'You know me, I'm always humble. Let's not talk about how many. When there's a chance, I'll show you. Just don't know if anyone in the world can force me to reveal them. Ah, indeed, experts are lonely.' Damn, boasting like this, talking about the world? Truly humble, seeing Mo Nian's cheeky look, Long Chen knew he wouldn't get an answer, so he stopped asking. Like him, Mo Nian had his unique inheritance. If this guy awakened the imperial flame, coupled with his 'humble' demeanor, Long Chen guessed he might be on par with figures like Ming Yu. With as many imperial flames, Mo Nian's power was enough to sweep his peers. Even an existence like Ao Gu might not be his match. Goodness, this flashy guy is holding back a big move, waiting to shine. But looking at Mo Nian's cheeky appearance, Long Chen was equally excited. It seemed Mo Nian had encountered some extraordinary fortune, which increased their chances on the Heavenly Domain Battlefield. The coffin plank flew slowly, and Long Chen began to use his soul power to communicate with the supreme bone, drawing the star sea's power to heal it. As the star sea's power flowed into the supreme bone, the triple blood rushed into the supreme bone, and strands of imperial flame transformed into small fire dragons, actively helping to heal the damaged supreme bone. They were like a group of little partners, with the supreme bone as their leader. This leader selflessly gave them power, and now they began to repay the supreme bone. Previously, conflicts often erupted between the dragon blood and supreme blood, requiring the purple blood to mediate. But now, with the supreme bone, their relationship instantly became intimate, with no barriers left. This miraculous scene stunned even Long Chen. He hadn't expected the supreme bone, which had been separated from him for years, to be so powerful. With the backfeeding of the triple blood, the supreme bone's repair speed was extremely fast. A few hours later, the wound cracks had fused together, returning to the state before the battle with Ao Gu. However, at this moment, Long Chen, with the imperial flame's support, was in a better state than before. As everyone flew slowly, the temperature ahead began to rise gradually, and rolling heat waves rushed in. At that moment, Long Chen sensed a powerful fluctuation and looked at Mo Nian. 'When the battle begins, keep an eye on those strong ones for me. Don't let them escape.' 'Rest assured, with the coffin shop open for so many years, whether it's the living or the dead, once I, Mo Nian, have my eyes on them, there's no escaping,' Mo Nian patted his chest in assurance. 'Boom...' At that moment, terrifying auras rose, roaring towards them like a tide, quickly forming a surrounding net that tightened rapidly, trapping Long Chen and the others securely. 'Finally can't hide anymore? Hand over the Imperial Fire Dragon Crystal, and I'll leave you with intact corpses,' came a cold shout from a figure shrouded in black imperial flames, emerging from the void like a demon god. When Hai Mingkong and others escaped, they used the power of the Imperial Fire Dragon Crystal. Only some sensed the anomaly and pursued. As that person was unsure whether the sensation was accurate and whether it was a diversion, they didn't alert others. Thus, the group still waited here, thinking the others were hiding somewhere in the Fire Domain using the Dragon Crystal's power. Fearing the group's escape, that person directly ignited all the imperial flames, elevating their combat strength to the extreme, giving no chance for escape. 'Star Gate—Open!' Long Chen shouted, starlight filled the sky, and star clouds flickered beneath his feet, disappearing instantly. 'Pa' As the expert charged forward, only seeing the sky full of stars, before understanding the enemy's situation, a hand filled with stars slapped hard across their face.
