Chapter 325 – Devil Earth Dragon
Long Chen sighed. He knew that for a genius to grow, the resources and background of their family was very important. The other important factor was luck. He had to admit that his luck has been great ever since he obtained the Dragon Jade Pendant. He had successfully managed to survive all the perilous situations so far.
For example, the Misty Valley was somehow tailored for him since he had the Soul Swallowing Gaze. He could navigate the place easily without worries. Other people would’ve had a hard time walking around here.
And now there was an injured Category Seven Earth-tier beast hiding inside the cave behind the waterfall. He didn’t know how strong it was originally, but he knew that this was his only chance.
Once he told her about the cave, Long Chen decided to risk it. “Xiaolang, I will enter the cave first and attract the beast. You bring Ling Xi in and don’t come out unless it’s an emergency!”
“But … Brother Chen, won’t you be in danger?” Ling Xi was worried.
“No. This is an injured Category Seven Earth-tier beast. If I’m lucky, I will be able to kill it and become stronger. Even if I can’t win against it, I can run with Blood Warp. Xiao Xi, don’t worry.”
“I’m so sorry, Brother Chen … I’m just dragging you down.” Tears sprung up in her eyes and her body trembled. “I’ve decided that I’m just luggage at this point. I should just give up on my body so you and Xiaolang can escape.” Foll𝑜w current novℯls on nov𝒆lb((in).(com)
“No!” Long Chen said to her. “Don’t say anything like that again, or I won’t forgive you.”
“Why?” Ling Xi was puzzled. “If you manage to find the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit for me, I will still get a physical body.”
“That’s if I manage to get it. I can’t guarantee it right now.” Long Chen sighed. “Ling Xi, no one knows what the future holds. The Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit is still just a possibility for now. I can’t bet your future on a possibility. Don’t do anything stupid before I get the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit. There’s a chance I might not be able to get it at all.”
His words calmed Ling Xi down.
“Xiao Xi, someone told me that the world is big and I’m only a genius in a small corner of it. My efforts amount to nothing to that person. They recommended that I restore your body and find a place to live our lives peacefully somewhere …”
Those were Li Xuanji’s words. Long Chen remembered them, but he had never thought about giving up.
“So I can’t let you disrespect your body like that. If you waste your chance, you might lose the chance to live with me. Calm down and listen to me, alright?”
Ling Xi cried as she looked at the man in front of her. Her feelings for him could no longer be described with the word “like.” The exciting and strong feeling blossoming inside of her was something she had never experienced before. She had a feeling that she wouldn’t regret dying with Long Chen.
“Brother Chen …”
“Hm?” Long Chen listened to what she had to say.
“I’ve decided.”
“What did you decide?”
Ling Xi’s pale face gradually became pink from blushing. She contemplated for a bit before she finally said, “I will never marry anyone … but you.”[ref]LET’S GOOOO[/REF]
“Huh?!” Long Chen never thought she would say something like that and was stunned. He was touched that she would say that to him.
“Ling Xi, I will never forget what you just said! I hope you remember it too! You already know how I feel about you, so I won’t say anything more. I will chase the beast away, and you just need to do as I say!”
“Okay!” Ling Xi nodded.
Long Chen wasted no time; he pulled out the Azure Dragon Halberd and ran into the waterfall. Water splashed everywhere as he entered the cave. The beast roared when it sensed him and almost knocked him out.
Blood!
He noticed the stench of blood as soon as he entered the cave. There was a beast laying inside glaring at him! It was covered in black scales similar to a pangolin. There were rows of black spikes on its back, and its powerful limbs were covered in scales too. The only part of the beast that didn’t resemble a pangolin was its dragon-like head. It had a single horn growing out of its forehead, and the sharpness of the horn exceeded Long Chen’s Azure Dragon Halberd!
“A Category Seven Earth-tier Devil Earth Dragon?” Long Chen was shocked to encounter this beast in the valley. It was called a dragon, and many thought that the remaining Devil Earth Dragons were descendants of the true dragons. Of course, these were just rumors. If it really had the blood of the ancient dragons, it wouldn’t be this weak.
Long Chen laughed when he saw the condition of the beast.
There were various wounds on it. Some of them were so deep that he could see bone. The Earth Devil Dragon was doing its best to suppress the blood flowing outwards, but it was futile. One of its forelimbs was even missing after being chopped off. It was bleeding profusely, and the Earth Devil Dragon was doing its best to stop it.
But what if Long Chen used the Blood Devouring Domain?
Long Chen knew that someone had been hunting it. That was why the beast was so angry when it saw him. He did not hesitate to throw the Azure Dragon Halberd at it. It was embedded into the beast’s other forearm like the Thunder Bird. But unlike the Thunder Bird, the halberd only inflicted a small wound. Still, the beast was sufficiently angered!
Long Chen put the halberd away and ran outside. The beast, unable to contain its anger anymore, ran after him. As its name suggested, it was definitely fierce.
Long Chen did the right thing to lure it away.
Once out of the cave, he hinted at Mo Xiaolang before running away. The massive beast shot out and chased Long Chen. Ling Xi was frightened by the sudden appearance of the beast and hid behind some boulders. She was worried about Long Chen.
She saw that the beast was strong, but it was heavily injured and missing a limb. She sighed in relief knowing that it couldn’t kill him.
“Brother Chen, you will be fine!”
Ling Xi looked at Long Chen one more time before entering the cave with Xiaolang.

“If I make this much noise here, it will definitely attract the commanders!” Long Chen decided to run away from the waterfall. After he decided that he was far enough, he stopped and got ready to fight the beast.
“Luckily, I didn’t waste the blood …” Long Chen had been absorbing the blood that the beast was shedding. He had activated the Blood Devouring Domain but at its weakest strength, so the beast hadn’t realized its blood was being absorbed by Long Chen.
It’s bleeding so much that it would’ve left a trail of blood to the waterfall. The commanders would be able to find the waterfall if they followed the blood, and Ling Xi would be in danger.
This was why Long Chen had been absorbing all the blood while running.
He looked back, already in his transformed state. He didn’t even frown when he looked at the Devil Earth Dragon and pulled out his halberd.
“You want to fight me when you’re bleeding that badly? What an idiot. Blood Devouring Domain!” The Devil Earth Dragon was enveloped in red mist. The entire area was covered by the technique, and the illusions of a blood-red dragon flickered in its range. This was a true dragon! Long Chen never expected the Blood Devouring Domain to scare the Devil Earth Dragon so badly.
The Category Seven Earth-tier beast started howling in fear. Its blood was continuously being sucked and it couldn’t control it any longer. Anytime Long Chen attacked him, it would lose control of itself and more blood would surge out of its body.
Long Chen decided to end things swiftly when he saw that the beast was no longer a threat. All it took was an attack to the neck!
