Ten massive ice pillars stood tall, and strands of pitch-black chains coiled around the enormous bodies of ten ferocious beasts.
No one knows what material the pitch-black chains are made from, but it seems to contain a terrifying energy. The stronger you are, the clearer you feel the horror of this energy. Even though Chu Le'er possesses Immortal Venerable level strength, she is far from being able to forcibly break the chains.
The ten ferocious beasts vary from each other, yet they are all giant in size. Their enormous bodies are almost like a small mountain, giving a strong and imnse sense of oppression. Their huge claws are fierce, as if still roaring and howling in intense battle.
However, on their heads, their eyes remain tightly closed, seemingly resigned to fate.
Upon first entering the Ice Palace, Xu Fan was almost crushed by the imnse pressure emanating from the ten ferocious beasts! However, this ti, Xu Fan felt an unspeakable sadness.
Yes, sadness!
Li Long opposes the four Immortal Emperors. If they could have slaughtered Li Long and these ten beasts, the four Immortal Emperors definitely wouldn't have hesitated, nor wasted ti and effort building an Ice Palace here. Just think, super powerful beings that even the four Immortal Emperors couldn't fully eradicate, yet are imprisoned in such a place.
Immortal Emperor level beings, almost the strongest under the starry sky, yet they end up in such a miserable state.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Fan suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and walked step by step toward Li Long.
Among the ten ferocious beasts, Xu Fan had previously communicated only with Li Long.
Last ti, Xu Fan arrived with Chu Le'er full of hope, wanting to use Chu Le'er's help for Li Long's rescue, but left disappointed. Including Li Long, all ten ferocious beasts lost their signs of life, like lifeless objects.
Xu Fan's strength was too weak then, and he had no choice but to leave.
But this ti, in just a few months, Xu Fan has beco the strongest in the Mortal World, and returns to the Ice Palace!
This ti, whether or not he succeeds, Xu Fan must try! And even if this attempt fails, he will co a second ti, if the second ti doesn't succeed, then a third ti!
In any case, Xu Fan will fulfill the promise he made to himself!
"Xu Fan… There's sothing I haven't told you before, not to keep it from you, but fearing you couldn't bear the blow."
Just as Xu Fan was about to place his hand on the dragon scales, Chu Le'er's voice suddenly ca. This ti, her voice was more solemn than ever.
Xu Fan's palm slightly trembled.
"Xu Fan, I believe you can sense it too; the chains are by no ans ordinary, with a formation restriction personally set by the Immortal Emperor inside, not rely for confinent but also continuously extracting vitality."
"Li Long was severely injured a thousand years ago. How long thousands of years are! Even Li Long, I fear…"
Xu Fan's expression remained unchanged as he gently nodded, "I know."
Previously, with Xu Fan's strength, he naturally couldn't see the horror of these pitch-black chains. However, Li Long's attitude when transmitting the Dragon Divine Art had already hinted at many things.
What desperate circumstance could lead Li Long—such a nearly unparalleled being under the starry sky—to say sothing so resigned like there's no ti?
Thus, Xu Fan chose to embark on the path of the Taoist Immortal Mountain, using the most domineering yet perilous thod to carve out the quickest path to the peak.
But as Li Long had said before, there's no more ti… Perhaps at that ti, Li Long had already reached the last threshold of his life and foreseen it all.
Xu Fan removed his trembling palm from the dragon scales. Still, at this ti, he couldn't sense any life signs from Li Long.
Chu Le'er stood behind Xu Fan, looking at his back with a gaze full of complexity—unease, regret, reluctance, and touch… Maybe Chu Le'er herself didn't know how to describe her feelings at this mont.
"Xu Fan… Actually, whether you believe it or not, the thing I regret the most in my life is bringing you onto this irreversible path. The grievances between the Heavenly Witch Sect and the four Immortal Emperors have nothing to do with you."
"But at that ti, I always wanted to see if you were like those friends of mine from the Heavenly Witch Sect a thousand years ago, if upon realizing the dangers you face, you would betray your so-called friends completely like they did."
"It was my recklessness that led you onto a path you shouldn't have walked…"
Chu Le'er's eyes were slightly red as she babbled away, rare to open her heart, she said a lot.
However, after Chu Le'er rambled on and got a dry mouth, she found no response from Xu Fan, couldn't help but look up, and was shocked.
"This… How is it possible?!"
Xu Fan was already enveloped by a thick black aura, half-human, half-dragon, with scales nearly covering his entire body. His hand had sohow steadily returned to the massive dragon scales of Li Long.
Chu Le'er was not unfamiliar with this form of Xu Fan. On the Taoist Immortal Mountain, Xu Fan had once used this move, with minimal power of Zhiwei Realm, to kill the Witchcraft Sect Leader Han Kun explosively.
However, last ti, when Xu Fan used this move, his eyes were crimson, he lost reason, like a mad beast, whereas this ti, his eyes were full of calmness. Looking closely, one could even discover a spark in those eyes!
Clouds of thick black aura continuously surged out from Xu Fan, into the massive body of Li Long. Though for Li Long, such an aura seed negligible, the ability to absorb energy itself was incredible!
Then, even more unbelievable events unfolded before Chu Le'er. As the black aura continuously injected, a lifeless Li Long began to show fluctuations, terrifying pressure built up, powered up, grew wilder and wilder, until even Chu Le'er at Immortal Venerable level felt imnse pressure.
"This little guy always likes to give people surprises…" Chu Le'er murmured softly, staring at Xu Fan's back, montarily stunned.
And Xu Fan, at this mont, was equally filled with surprise!
The first ti Xu Fan contacted Li Long's consciousness was through touching the dragon scales, mistakenly following this perception. When Xu Fan heard Chu Le'er babble and ntioned that the black chain could extract life, he had an epiphany and attempted to run the Dragon Divine Art.
Li Long couldn't awaken due to his vitality being drawn, so as long as Xu Fan infused energy into him, as long as Li Long hadn't completely fallen, there might still be a chance for him to awaken!
Suddenly, the black aura's injection rate accelerated, earlier Xu Fan had actively infused, but now, it seed as if Li Long was actively absorbing the black aura.
Buzz!
As Xu Fan was about to falter, the surrounding thick black aura nearly dissipating, a force suddenly emanated from within Li Long. Xu Fan didn't resist, instead embraced it, and instantly, his consciousness transford into a small black dragon.
Ahead, a colossal black dragon of unknown length spanning several thousand ters coiled in the clouds abruptly opened its eyes!
