Chapter 244 Eliminating The Source
They were divine beasts!
The ones who had already explored the void once or twice in their lifetimes!
And they knew that a poison that surpassed the limits of this world's highest type of medicine would be unimaginable. It would have severe effects on Yang Lujia who had his strength cut down in half.
However, this test wasn't about the cultivation realm in the first place. This was a test for improving someone's comprehension in desperate times!
"My memories are quite muddled. I can't remember any medicine higher than the Heaven-Ranked Elixir. However, this kid, I'm afraid he's in trouble…" the Black Tortoise said, his voice echoing into the hearts of the other divine beasts.
If Yang Lujia fell here, wouldn't that mean that he'd failed the test and they wouldn't be able to acknowledge him as their master? Wouldn't they become masterless again?!
What did His Highness do? Why did he make it so difficult for his son?
"Do you remember that His Highness said that his son's talent surpassed his?" This time, the Red Qilin, apart from the Black Tortoise, was the most reserved and calm. "If His Highness didn't see through this child's talent, then His Highness' tests would really be all in vain if his son could accomplish them as though walking into troubled waters was like a walk in the park for him!"
"I see!" The White Tiger looked enlightened and looked at the Red Qilin in reverence. "Old Red is still the best, as insightful as Old Black!"
"Old Black had long known about this. He just disdained to tell us—and think we're just like idiots," the Red Qilin humbly replied.
The White Tiger and the Vermillion Bird had no words to retort. Even the Azure Dragon just harrumphed and looked forward to Yang Lujia's emergence from this catastrophe. Despite his outward disdain, in his heart, he truly thought the same—that this brat was someone who had even more talent than His Highness himself.
Moreover, there was a faint sense of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline within Yang Lujia's body. Although Yang Lujia managed to suppress it, the Azure Dragon was endlessly looking forward to Yang Lujia taking his test.
It had to be said that he was a dragon himself and he was of the extreme noble bloodline. Only the Dragon Emperor Bloodline could contend with his Azure Dragon Bloodline—even slightly stronger than his. This made him agitated because the techniques in his memories were most suitable for Yang Lujia to use.
He could also tell that Yang Lujia had already transformed into a dragon before. His sensitivity towards his own kin was really high. The Azure Dragon could feel it.
When the Vermillion Bird noticed the emotional undulations coming from the Azure Dragon, she was quite stunned and then revealed a sigh. "Azure Dragon, His Highness earlier had said that this kid had two bloodlines. Moreover, they were extremely powerful. One of them was of a dragon type. This should be the reason why you're so agitated, right?"
"Hmph!"
The Azure Dragon did not say anything and just continued to look at Yang Lujia, the anticipation in his heart growing by the second.
On the other hand, Yang Lujia was already struggling. However, he was almost there! He knew that he was almost there!
He found out that although the fusion of the rules of life and the rules of flames was hard, its after-product was not so strong to contend against the flower's poison and it did not even have as much power as the rules he comprehended!
Therefore, he knew that these rules of life-flame could still be advanced by another step or two before he could finally eradicate the poison. He needed to step it up.
Seeing that Yang Lujia's momentum was not at all decreasing and was instead increasing, the purple-colored flame was shocked to its core. This brat actually persevered despite His Highness increasing the chances of death!
The purple-colored flame was not here initially. However, in order to guide this brat, His Highness especially gave him this task before coming to his side. At first, the purple-colored flame was disdainful about this matter, guiding someone other than His Highness. However, after experiencing the might of His Highness and knowing that the one he would guide was His Highness' son, he knew that it might be worth it.
But it was not something certain.
At this moment, however, he knew that this trip was not something he would be regretting.
Seeing that Yang Lujia did not waver against a poison that could already be placed in the void as one of the most terrifying poisons—he knew that he had struck gold this time. He was now looking forward to Yang Lujia's growth. His anticipation was no less than the Azure Dragon himself.
After two years of watching Yang Lujia, the purple-colored flame did not know what to say anymore. Half of the Flower of Catastrophe's petals had already turned to dust while Yang Lujia's momentum had always been increasing. This made him wonder whether this kid was just a genius or someone who had reached beyond what was freaky!
"So, that's how it is!" Yang Lujia inwardly exclaimed. He then opened his eyes and looked at the Flower of Catastrophe's petals. "Among the ten petals it had, only five petals were left. However, to completely eradicate the flower's effects and terror, I might need to approach it and burn it myself."
Others said that the core must be destroyed—the source must be eliminated so it would not anymore cause any ripples. It was the same with this poison. All this time, he poured all his strength to raise the effects of the rules of life-flame on the flower. However, to no avail, just by relying on this, he wouldn't be able to achieve it for a long time.
He knew that a long time had already passed. And he couldn't afford any delay.
Who knew how long his father had eradicated this flower's effects?!
So, despite the raging poison inside his body, eroding his meridians, he stood up and slowly approached the Flower of Catastrophe rather weakly.
When doing this, who would've thought that the Flower of Catastrophe, which they thought had no consciousness, would take the initiative to retreat for at least a step?
'What the hell is this brat trying to do?' the purple-colored flame said, taken aback that the flower actually feared this kid!
"You Flower of Catastrophe! You dared to face me earlier and now you actually took the initiative to retreat? Aren't you too shameless?! You even already lost five petals! What's the point of getting scared now?! Hahaha! Laughable! Stop wasting my time, you bitch!" Yang Lujia bellowed.
The purple-colored flame, "…"
The divine beasts, "…"
