Chapter 859
Long Chen pressed his hand on the ancient lamp . An ancient rune lit up, and when Long Chen blew on the wick, a light red flame flew out, instantly enveloping half of the room .
What startled Long Chen was the fact that the Gadfly-Ant Corpse Devouring Insects were instantly turned to smoke when they were enveloped by those flames . They vanished .
Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian were astonished . They looked at the shabby ancient lamp . Who would have thought that it possessed such terrifying power?
"Amazing! I struck gold this time!" Long Chen was delighted . As expected, this ancient lamp was an absolute treasure .
However, after getting excited, he suddenly found that the wick had dimmed after this attack . He jumped in fright .
"It's fine . As long as it doesn't get contaminated with the Blood Qi of cultivators, it will never completely extinguish," said the Eastern Wasteland Bell .
"So… does that mean I can't use it against enemies?" asked Long Chen .
"You can use it against enemies that aren't cultivators . For example, Magical Beasts . The lampwick of this Immemorial Altar Lamp was refined through the life essence of supreme experts . Inside are their blessings . The Immemorial Altar Lamp isn't a killing device . In truth, it's a priceless cultivation assisting treasure . Once you reach Sea Expansion, it can help you cultivate faster, and your qi sea will grow to ten times the size of others . Even in the ancient era, it was an extremely rare treasure . A sect could build their entire foundation around it . And it's not just useful for the Sea Expansion realm . At the Foundation Forging realm, if you have its assistance, your immortal platform's foundation will be incomparably stable . Long Chen, you truly did obtain an amazing treasure this time . It seems your fortune has taken a turn for the better," praised the Eastern Wasteland Bell .
His fortune had taken a turn for the better? Long Chen refused to believe it . All he believed was that good things required a matching strength to protect . Otherwise, even if you obtained it, it would be taken by others . The loss and regaining of the Immemorial Altar Lamp was a good example .
During this critical moment, Huang Junmo had revealed immense battle power . Long Chen realized that if he had fought with him all-out on Insect Island, he most likely wouldn't have been his match .
Because Huang Junmo was an assassin, he was specialized in killing his opponents in one shot and in one-on-one combat . Most likely his abilities had been restricted by the fact that he was facing an endless sea of insects, which was the only reason he was forced to flee .
Hearing that the Immemorial Altar Lamp couldn't be used to face enemies, Long Chen couldn't help being disappointed . Such a powerful killing tool couldn't be used to kill . That was too irritating .
"If the Immemorial Altar Lamp kills too many experts, their resentment will be absorbed by it and extinguish its core . Then it will become trash," said the Eastern Wasteland Bell .
Long Chen immediately thought of how those insects on Insect Island had drawn cultivators near the lamp before killing them . So their goal really had been to extinguish the wick .
"Put away the Immemorial Altar Lamp for now . It has absorbed too much resentment and needs to rest . As for your Earth Flame, it's in slumber and can't help expel that resentment . It's not good to use for now . I'll teach you how to use it to help your cultivation later . "
Long Chen solemnly put the lamp away . This treasure was too precious . It was his greatest harvest since arriving on the Immemorial Path and would be the foundation of the Dragonblood Legion's future rise .
"Let's go . Little Mo has already helped us open the door . We can't fail to live up to his kindness!" laughed Long Chen .
"Who is Little Mo?" asked Yue Xiaoqian .
"It's that good person who helped us kill all those insects," laughed Long Chen .
"Long Chen, you really are evil!" Yue Xiaoqian also couldn't hold back a laugh . Long Chen had long since told her about what had happened with Huang Junmo . This time, he had been conned miserably by Long Chen .
Not only had he lost so many of his treasures, but he had also fled with only half of his life . It was unknown whether he would directly go insane from anger once he stopped running .
The two of them entered the passageway and were shocked to find quite a few bodies of Gadfly-Ant Corpse Devouring Insects inside .
However, they weren't true insects but the results of their molting . Those elite insects that had come out in the end obviously had to have experienced some kind of metamorphosis to possess such power . They had been comparable to seventh rank Magical Beasts .
A disgusting stench came from the passageway, but Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian endured it . If they closed their pores and stopped breathing, it would cause their spiritual perception to sharply drop . In such a dangerous place, such an action was foolhardy .
"No wonder!"
The two of them walked in three hundred meters when they saw multiple channels ahead . Each channel was so long that they couldn't see the end . That was why there had been so many insects . All these channels had been filled with the insects .
"How curious . After this many years of no food or water, how did these insects survive?" wondered Long Chen .
"Gadfly-Ant Corpse Devouring Insects are a special corrupt insect . Legend has it they are one of the poison insects that the Corrupt God raised with his own body . With the Corrupt God's blessing, they can survive forever . Although that's just a legend that can't be trusted, there really is a special rune on their backs that can absorb Death Qi . Although this place is sealed and they can't leave, those runes can still absorb Death Qi from outside despite the restrictions . Whether it is flying birds, roaming beasts, or even the insects in the ground, as long as they die, they will release Death Qi . The Gadfly-Ant Corpse Devouring Insects absorb that Death Qi to grow and breed . Furthermore, their most terrifying aspect is that they can enter a state of quasi death, and in that state, the amount of energy they use is essentially zero . So in theory, their lifespan is unlimited . Even if they survived since ancient times, it's still reasonable," explained Yue Xiaoqian .
"Xiaoqian, you really are erudite!" praised Long Chen . He really had to prostrate himself in admiration towards her learning . Even if he exhausted himself to death, he would never be able to catch up to her .
"Haha, I'm the one who has to admire you . You really know how to babble: 'The Immortal Dao is transcendental, while all living things have mundane troubles; destiny exists in the mortal world, and priceless treasures belong only to the fated . ' Huang Junmo wasn't the only one who believed it, even I believed it . At that time, I really thought you were the incarnation of a god . You really are dislikable!" said Yue Xiaoqian a bit resentfully . She felt that she was foolish for falling for it .
Long Chen couldn't help but laugh . Talking about reasonable things wasn't his strong point . But when it came to spouting nonsense, he had never been afraid to compete with anyone .
"Tell me, how did you come up with such a random name?" Yue Xiaoqian was a simple and pure person . She felt there was definitely a problem with Long Chen's name, but she didn't know what .
Huyou Niyadenidaye? That really wasn't something he could explain . Curse words weren't anything to be proud about . Long Chen shook his head . "It was just a random name I came up with . It doesn't have any meaning . "
"No, you're definitely lying," said Yue Xiaoqian, looking into Long Chen's eyes . "You can't trick me . You definitely had some kind of meaning behind them . Niyade, nidaye? Nidaye as in your uncle?"
Long Chen immediately began to sweat and nodded . "Alright, it's just your uncle, nothing else . Look, we're at another fork . Take a look and choose which path we should take . "
Long Chen really didn't want to keep talking about this topic . He had also experienced how difficult Yue Xiaoqian was to deal with . She had a kind of innate spiritual perception that allowed her to tell when people were lying . That was awkward .
"This way . "
The two of them continued onwards, insect molts cracking beneath their feet . They had already made four turns, and seeing this twisting cavern, they finally understood why there had been so many insects .
"We've arrived . " They finally reached the end of the channel . There was a three-meter door of light in front of them . Long Chen thought about it and decided to let Yue Xiaoqian enter first .
This kind of danger of the unknown was something he should have tested first, but with his bad luck, it really wasn't advisable for him to do that . So he had Yue Xiaoqian go in first .
Once Yue Xiaoqian entered, he followed right behind her . As soon as he entered the light door, he let out a startled cry .
As soon as he was in, he found that he was floating in water . He hastily closed all his pores, afraid that something was wrong with the water .
But Long Chen found that Yue Xiaoqian was incomparably excited . He asked, "This is the peak grade Heaven Source Extract?"
Yue Xiaoqian nodded . She took out a small jade vase . Its runes lit up and the liquid around them began to pour into it . It was clearly a spatial storage object .
As the water level descended, Long Chen realized they were in a square space three hundred meters wide and twenty-five hundred meters tall . At the center was a giant stone stalactite .
"Heavens, there's so much peak grade Heaven Source Extract . Long Chen, am I dreaming?" Yue Xiaoqian couldn't believe it .
"It's real . I've encountered the same thing . Back then, I almost thought that it was a bathing place," laughed Long Chen . Thinking of his ignorance back then, he felt a burst of embarrassment .
"Long Chen, you really are my lucky star!" Yue Xiaoqian was extremely emotional now, and she tightly hugged Long Chen . This peak grade Heaven Source Extract was of the utmost importance to her original devil race . It could raise their overall talent without any drawbacks . It was practically a divine elixir .
Obtaining all this peak grade Heaven Source Extract, she was incomparably excited . She drank a bit right there and then, immediately feeling completely refreshed . Even her Spiritual Strength increased, making her so excited that she seemed like a happy child .
Once she calmed herself down a bit, they returned to the original plaza with the eight gates . The other seven gates also had Heaven Source Extract as their ultimate rewards, but their quality was worse .
Furthermore, each channel behind each gate was also filled with Gadfly-Ant Corpse Devouring Insects . For them, risking danger by fighting against all those insects wouldn't be worth it .
The two of them left the underground cave . They had a brief rest while Yue Xiaoqian used the Heaven Source Extract to increase her power .
Long Chen found that Yue Xiaoqian's energy was very special . It was different from any other cultivator's energy that he had ever seen .
But that peak grade Heaven Source Extract was able to purify and increase that strange energy inside her . It was like a treasure just for the original devil race .
Once she woke up from her meditative state, Long Chen offered her a certain thing . "Here, have a fruit!"
