Urban Peerless Expert Chapter 985 - 985 1005 I Have a Bold Idea...1

985: Chapter 1005: I Have a Bold Idea…_1 985: Chapter 1005: I Have a Bold Idea…_1 Lin Chen had only seen his father once.

It was in Yin Yang Valley where his father had already been chosen as the Demon Emperor’s Successor and was parasitized by the Heart of the Demon Emperor.

When his father gave him the Emperor’s Scripture of Heaven, it was clear that he was struggling intensely with the Demon Emperor’s will.

So much ti has passed since then; could he still retain his own will and emotions?

Lin Chen wasn’t sure.

That was also why he had always wanted to co here and see his father.

At least, he wanted to confirm, was he still his father?

Lin Yuan was able to give him the Emperor’s Scripture of Heaven back then, which showed that his rationality and familial affection were dominant at the ti.

But what about now?

Lin Chen didn’t know what course of action he would eventually choose, but he just wanted to see his father again after such a long ti and see if he was still the sa as before.

“How effective can this piece of Spiritual Essence be?”

Bearded Man Du Lei replied, “It can increase one’s wisdom and strength.

If at the Nascent Soul Realm, a piece of Spiritual Essence like the one just now may only require three to five pieces to advance a stage.

If in the Spirit Transformation Realm, more will be needed.

Nevertheless, as long as you have enough Spiritual Essence, your strength will increase rapidly…”

Nascent Soul Realm, three to five Spiritual Essences, advancing one stage?

Such abundant energy in Spiritual Essence!

Unfortunately, even though they were mining here, not even a chance to embezzle was given.

The guards on-site wouldn’t give anyone any opportunity!

Lin Chen vaguely understood why the demon race guardians didn’t confiscate everyone’s Void Space Rings.

First, the demon race hadn’t fully transford yet and couldn’t use them.

Second, maybe everyone thought that cultivators with strength at the Nascent Soul Realm or below, being enslaved, wouldn’t possess anything valuable.

Magical treasures?

Flying swords?

Let them use those for mining.

Anyway, once the Spiritual Essence was unearthed, the Guardians would find out imdiately.

As for those who wanted to escape, haha, the Guardians would teach them a lesson within minutes.

“Ah!”

A shrill scream suddenly sounded amongst the crowd.

Lin Chen turned his head and saw an old man in the distance being engulfed by black flas.

His body was instantly burned until only white bones remained, and then even the white bones were reduced to black ashes.

Ashes to ashes!

Lin Chen was startled.

Where did these black flas co from?

“It’s exploding stones!”

Soone in the distance cried out in alarm.

Everyone quickly moved away from the burning cultivator, as if the fire on his body was a contagious plague.

Watching this scene, Lin Chen was also shocked.

He wasn’t sure about the old man’s strength, but the fact that a cultivator was burned to bones and then reduced to ashes was terrifying.

“What is that?”

An elderly cultivator nearby replied in despair, “That’s Darkfire, a symbiotic entity found in the Ancient Mining Field.”

“Spiritual Essence and Darkfire are opposites.

Spiritual Essence is an incredibly pure energy source that helps cultivators or demon cultivators rapidly increase their strength, while Darkfire is like the embodint of misfortune.

Once touched, Darkfire will burn a person to ashes like bone-devouring maggots, causing the destruction of both their physical body and Primordial Spirit.”

Lin Chen was secretly shocked and asked, “How can we prevent the Darkfire?”

“No way to predict.”

The old man replied with a deathly expression, “The appearance of Darkfire is just like Spiritual Essence.

Before it erges, no one knows whether it will appear.

However, once it does, it ans soone will be in big trouble!”

So mysterious!

Lin Chen sighed inwardly, then comforted himself that his own luck had never been bad, so he shouldn’t encounter Darkfire.

“Ah!”

Not long after, the Darkfire appeared again, swallowing the miner’s body and instantly burning him to white bones, then turning him into flying ashes.

So terrifying!

What kind of existence was this Darkfire?

Lin Chen subconsciously thought of his Water and Fire Mirror.

If he were to encounter Darkfire, could the Water and Fire Mirror absorb it?

Lin Chen and the others were taken to the flying boat and entered the dining hall.

After a satisfying al, they were hurried back to the camp to rest.

As Lin Chen lay on the bed at the camp, he pondered today’s encounters with so worry.

At least six or seven people today had unearthed Darkfire, only to be instantly burned to nothing by it, their souls completely destroyed.

Yet, so many of them had only unearthed three pieces of Spiritual Essence.

The appearance rate of Spiritual Essence compared to Darkfire is quite low!

At least twice as likely for Darkfire to appear than Spiritual Essence!

Lin Chen turned his head and asked, “Brother Lei, where do these mined Spiritual Essences get transported to?”

Du Lei replied, “I’m not sure, but I think they should be stored sowhere here first, then transferred to higher-level demons for them to use or distribute after a certain amount is accumulated.”

Lin Chen asked further, “Do you know where they are kept?”

An idea suddenly ca to Lin Chen’s mind…
