Chapter 5247 Feng You’s Decision
Gold Rhino pulled the war chariot forward, accompanied by countless Ten Thousand Dragon Nests trailing behind. Their pace was steady, giving the people of the Dragon Domain enough time to bid farewell to their homeland. Although leaving was sorrowful, it was a necessary step for the dragon race to secure its future.
“They left first?” Long Chen asked in surprise after hearing from Bai Yingxue that Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu had departed the Dragon Domain after only a few days of rest.
Bai Yingxue explained, “Feng You said that you can pull her up once or twice, but not forever. If she wants to get stronger, she has to rely on herself. She wants to become an expert like you, someone capable of betting everything to achieve power. She’s willing to gamble her life in the Endless Desolation for the future of the mixed beast race. She wants to create a peaceful foundation for them. If she fails, her body and Dao will vanish, and she won’t have any regrets. She asked me to tell you she’s sorry that she can’t repay her debt to you in this lifetime, but she will always remember you.”
Bai Yingxue’s eyes became teary as she relayed Feng You’s farewell. She deeply understood Feng You"s determination and respected her for fighting her tough fate. Like Feng You, the entire mixed beast race faced rejection by the world.
As a result, Feng You wanted to get stronger on her own, not wanting to live her life under Long Chen’s protection forever. Leaving her race’s fate in his hands would be unfair. After all, Long Chen had no obligation to s.h.i.+eld the mixed beast race, and Feng You did not want to be a burden. Thus, she chose to face the dangers of the Endless Desolation despite the risks.
Long Chen fell into a long silence after hearing Feng You’s decision. In the end, he let out a deep sigh. Changing one’s fate was never easy, even for someone as strong as him. He was always facing the turbulent waves of fate and understood her helplessness. He felt aggrieved for this strong-willed beauty, but he had no time to help her now.
“We can only wish for her good fortune,” sighed Long Chen.
“I completely understand her. I’ve felt similarly,” Bai Yingxue added, gazing at Long Chen. “Fortunately, you and the dragon race have a deep connection, and our fates are intertwined. Otherwise, I might have left like her. I’m afraid my dependence on you would grow to a frightening point.”
Bai Yingxue had only encountered Long Chen twice before, but she was drawn to his irresistible charisma. It made her want to get close to him, depend on him, and fully trust him.
On the other hand, Feng You didn’t want to drag Long Chen down, so she chose to face her trials alone. If their positions were switched, Bai Yingxue didn’t know if she would have such courage.
Before Feng You left, Bai Yingxue secretly gave her the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Jade, a priceless legacy of the white dragon race. It was a protective divine item containing heaven dragon treasure qi, and she had not informed anyone else about it.
However, she told Long Chen because she didn’t want him to worry about Feng You too much. Hearing that Bai Yingxue actually gave this priceless treasure to Feng You, Long Chen was moved. Bai Yingxue was truly too kind.
Once the chariot left the Dragon Domain, Long Chen ordered Gold Rhino to quicken the pace. With a roar, Gold Rhino’s two-vein Emperor qi erupted, and it shot forward like a golden bolt of lightning.
All the Ten Thousand Dragon Nests accelerated with it, advancing ferociously. Half a day later, the aura of the world changed.
An ancient and primordial qi was br.i.m.m.i.n.g in this place, shaking Long Chen’s mind. Everyone within the chariot sensed it as well.
Yue Zifeng, who had been meditating, opened his eyes sharply, sensing the s.h.i.+ft in spiritual qi and the laws of the Heavenly Daos.
“The laws of this place...” muttered Yue Zifeng.
His keen sword cultivator’s senses had immediately detected the change in the environment. Just now, it felt like they were pa.s.sing through a wall. There was a s.h.i.+ft in the quality of the spiritual qi, and the laws of the Heavenly Daos were also different here.
As they crossed the boundary into the Endless Desolation, the dragon blood in the Dragonblood warriors grew more active.
Long Chen said, “No wonder they say all the peak experts are hidden within the depths of the Endless Desolation. Only this kind of terrifying spiritual qi and laws can raise such powerful existences.”
They had only reached the boundary, but Long Chen could already feel his Spirit Blood, Spirit Root, and Spirit Bone awakening under the summons of some power.
Meanwhile, his violet blood, his dragon blood, and his seven-color Supreme Blood started to circulate rapidly. Even his meridians and bones began to undergo a startling transformation.
This was only the border of the Endless Desolation, yet its impact was profound. Long Chen now understood why Lord Brahma chose to heal in this place.
The Earth Cauldron warned, “Now that you’ve entered the Endless Desolation, you are close to Lord Brahma’s gaze. Be careful.”
“Careful my a.s.s. With me here, we’ll kill them all! Charge forward, Long Chen. I want to unseal my second state and dominate these lands! Lord Brahma, hmph, he’ll only be fit to kneel beneath my feet!” Evilmoon boomed with confidence.
Suddenly, a powerful roar shook the surroundings, and a wild divine might caused them all to tense up.
BOOM!
The ground erupted, revealing a ma.s.sive salamander engulfed in flames blocking their path. The creature’s flames twisted the very s.p.a.ce around it.
“The Raging Flame Horned Salamander. Isn’t it supposed to be a low-rank devil beast? How did it get so big?!” Guo Ran exclaimed.
Normally capped at the Immortal King realm, this salamander had reached the two-vein Human Emperor level, stunning everyone.
“Wait, it’s missing a leg!” Xia Chen suddenly pointed out. One of the salamander’s rear legs was gone, with a seven-color scar marking the spot.
“That’s...!” Long Chen’s eyes widened in shock as he recognized the scar.
