Chapter 595: 545 clues 1

The Water Forest was a picture of tranquility.

The two agents of the White Praisers, who had just been brimming with aggression, were now completely calm, their expressions gentle as they stood motionless in place.

Under the Flower Language Ability, they were both in a state of controlled stasis. During this time, as long as Li Chengyi did not give them any severe orders like suicide, he could manipulate them at will.

"What are you doing here? What’s your purpose?" Li Chengyi asked indifferently.

This was his flower field, and he must bring every external factor not belonging to him under his control.

"The headquarters issued the order to eliminate all heretical forces below the Silver Tier as much as possible and to turn their resources and corpses into sacrificial materials."

"What’s your objective? Why do you need to do this?" Li Chengyi asked again.

"Our objective is to unify the surface under the Church, eliminating all other false god sects," the one with more silver stripes quickly replied.

"How many of you are nearby, and what’s your strength? What level is Silver Tier?"

"Not many, about a dozen of us. Most of us have similar strength to ours. Silver Tier refers to high-ranking strong individuals within big Church groups like New Moon, Underworld, Elves, who serve as Bishops. Their bodies have been blessed, with a faint trace of silver in their blood, hence the name."

"Where is your nest, your base?" Li Chengyi thought for a moment before asking again.

"Underground, close to here, in a Mysterious Church. A Mysterious Church refers to a special construction style of a church—fully enclosed, able to supply a certain amount of water and provide protective holy light while concealing its presence."

Li Chengyi then asked in detail about the information related to the White Praisers.

He was surprised to find that this group were indeed very orthodox standard divine priests, with fixed divine positions each day, and different levels could use different divine spells.

There were many kinds of divine spells, but their numbers were limited, which meant that this group needed a lot of intelligence to make precise strikes against their foes.

After asking his questions, he thought and made a decision.

Hissss!

A semi-transparent sword light flew by, piercing through the chests of the two men, bringing with it a trail of blood.

Invisible Flames of Death Energy enveloped the two, while Glint Flash exploded inside.

In a blink, all that was left on the spot were two light white piles of ash.

That was the ash of both men along with their clothes.

’The White Praisers are suitable for tempering Tom and the others. If Tom could continue to grow and sublimate under their hands, then this situation should not disappear,’ Li Chengyi pondered, quickly making a decision.

Hissss!

A flash of black, and he disappeared from the spot once more.

Back at the office, he quickly drafted a plan to use the White Praisers to temper his subordinates.

Just as he was thinking about it, his eyes suddenly fixed on something.

The Floral Bead’s aura had changed!

In the office, the previously rather stable Floral Bead was suddenly emitting an intensely stronger aura.

To Li Chengyi’s senses, it was as if a crack had suddenly appeared in space.

Strange wisps of energy seeped through from the other side of the crack.

He stood up excitedly; he had waited so long, and finally...

He walked around the desk, stretched out his hand without hesitation, and touched the crack that only Consciousness Power could perceive.

Hissss!

The moment he touched the crack, a powerful repulsive force suddenly descended upon Li Chengyi.

Taken off guard and about to react, his mind paused, and he stopped his movements. Instinctively, he allowed the huge force to squeeze him through the crack.

He rapidly shrank and squeezed into it.

In the endless black mire, the pressure from all sides was incredibly massive.

In the darkness devoid of light, there only lay a giant dragon made of pure green gemstone crystal, its head nestled under its wing as it slept.

The only light in the dark emanated from the dragon itself.

Li Chengyi floated quietly in the black mire, observing his surroundings.

His human form was about two meters tall, but compared to the colossal green dragon before him, he was as minuscule as an ant.

"Where is this...?" His brows furrowed tightly. He had just teleported in using the counter-trace, but upon arrival, the aura of the Floral Bead had instantly vanished.

This was a situation he had never encountered before.

And this dark space seemed as vast as the Black Sea and as boundlessly dark, giving him an extremely oppressive sense of confinement.

Hum.

At this moment, the green Gem Dragon appeared to awaken, slowly lifting its head with its three golden horns pointing backward. Its colossal golden eyes opened like two large lamps, and its gaze fell upon Li Chengyi.

"Interesting, another pitiful little creature has arrived..." it uttered in the clear Black Sea tongue.

"Who are you? Logically, I shouldn’t be here. How did I come in, and can you enlighten me?" Li Chengyi’s first impression would make anyone think he was a very friendly person.

And the smile on his face at that moment was enough to disarm a part of the wariness in any wary stranger.

"You don’t even know where this place is, and you dared to rush in!?" The Gem Dragon burst into laughter.

The laughter transformed into concentric ripples of green halo, spreading outwards.

Its body, at least a thousand meters in size, also vibrated with the laughter.

"Let me tell you where this is. This place is the most solid and despairing labyrinth in the whole world—the Shadow Dragon Prison! It’s the Land of Dead Silence where the gods banish beings they cannot destroy!" the Gem Dragon roared in explanation.

"Shadow Dragon Prison?" Li Chengyi’s brows creased further. "Since it’s a prison, are there many different cells?"

"You’re correct. There are indeed many different cages. Being free, you can certainly try to find a way out, to go to other cells. But..." The corners of the Gem Dragon’s mouth curled up in a malicious smile.

"But you can’t replenish power here, you can only rely on your own strength to break everything, then switch after getting out."

"My own strength?" Li Chengyi questioned.

"The moment you enter the Shadow Dragon Prison, it forcibly assigns each entrant to different cages. You were lucky to encounter an empty one, so naturally, there was no danger.

But if you’re unlucky...heh heh...being eaten is a common occurrence. After all, many prisoners are not as good-natured as I am, willing to chat with you first before making a meal of you," the Emerald Dragon said with a laugh.

"So, are you saying that you’re very strong?" Li Chengyi counter-asked.

"How could an insignificant insect like you possibly comprehend the power of our Gem Dragon Clan?"

"Gem Dragon Clan... What is your name? Is there anyone in your clan stronger than you?" Li Chengyi asked seriously.

"Heh heh... My name is Bourdourein Flan!! The greatest of all, the Calamity Dragon!!" the Emerald Dragon roared.

Greed +5.

Greed +6.

.....

A dense storm of Evil Thoughts surged into Li Chengyi’s mind.

The Wisteria Flowers he had just prepared for evolution instantly completed their fifth evolution.

"Do you want to leave this place?" Li Chengyi’s gaze fell upon the enormous black chain hidden underneath the other.

Because the chain’s color was the same as the black mire, it had previously gone unnoticed, but now it was revealed as Bourdourein stirred.

Moving to a new place, it was always impossible for him to act personally every time; he needed some subordinates as covers, to avoid leaving too many traces by acting frequently himself.

Therefore...

"What? You actually want to release me!?" Bourdourein was astonished, and then burst into a sharp, mocking laughter.

"Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!!! Do you know that this is the chain of hatred and despair forged by the dark god of death? As long as the hatred and despair once directed at me are not dispelled and the world still harbors enmity towards me, it will never break!"

"Is that so..." Li Chengyi raised his hand, his silver hair fluttering slightly backward.

Crack.

The chain trembled abruptly and, under the watchful eyes of both man and dragon, broke apart suddenly from the middle.

"!!??" Bourdourein’s dragon eyes widened in disbelief.

"What’s happening!? It... it actually broke by itself!!?"

It leaned its dragon head forward, carefully looking, observing, as if it couldn’t believe what it was seeing.

That so-called indestructible, terrifying chain actually inexplicably broke out of nowhere!?

What does this mean!?

Was fate helping it break free! Hoping that it would escape and take revenge on those outsiders who had once humiliated it?

A frenzy of ecstasy surfaced in Bourdourein’s dragon eyes, and it reached out a claw to gently grasp the chain, lifting it slightly.

Amidst the clattering sound, the chain was still there, but indeed, it had broken.

Having confirmed this scene, it finally began to tremble all over, slowly rising and stretching its entire body out.

"Could it be... This is the destiny that I, Bourdourein, am fated to meet!!? Am I truly destined to break free today!?"

It raised its head and suddenly let out a burst of manic laughter.

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!

The Gem Dragon seemed to go mad, throwing back its head and flapping its wings, emitting a roar of wild joy.

After laughing for a while, it finally remembered that there was a foreigner here, waiting.

Only then did it lower its head, retract its body, and fix its gaze on Li Chengyi.

"Since you’re unlucky to have encountered me just as I am about to escape the prison, the first meal of fresh, delicious blood will start with you!"

It extended its bright red tongue from the corner of its mouth, licking its lips.

"You want to eat me?" Li Chengyi was astonished.

"Yes... poor little fellow, I hope in your next life you won’t carelessly stumble into spaces so cluelessly..." Bourdourein sneered, swiftly flying toward Li Chengyi with its mouth wide open.

"But I don’t want to eat you," Li Chengyi suddenly said. A strange smile appeared on his face.

"I just want you to be a dog."

He raised his right hand high.

"As it happens, I’m still missing a little dog to give to Yserine..."

Hisss!!!

In an instant.

A gigantic gash opened from the left chest to the lower abdomen of Bourdourein’s enormous body.

A vast amount of green dragon blood sprayed out like there was no cost to it, the blood shining with a bright green light, casting Bourdourein’s own face in a glare of astonishment.

"!!!!!!?"

At this moment, its approaching body eerily froze in midair, as if encased in a massive green amber, fixed in the sky.

With the heavy loss of blood, its consciousness began to rapidly weaken and lull into powerlessness.

Pain, fear, bewilderment, confusion.

A surge of emotions overwhelmed its heart, leaving it completely unable to react to what it should do next, or what it could do.

"Do you understand now?" Li Chengyi withdrew his hand, his eyes suddenly flashing with a terrifying golden-black color.

An overwhelming draconic majesty exploded out from him as the center, the heavy pressing might of the Eighteen Seals pure essence, having already amplified the originally weak Shadow Dragon King bloodline to an extremely exaggerated degree.

Bourdourein’s scales stood on end, its entire body shook in horror, filled with a mad desire to retreat in fear.

"You...!!?"

"Call me master," Li Chengyi interrupted bluntly.
