Chapter 606
606 Successfully obtained the Dragon Soul!
The legendary fiery flame city was really far away.
Shen lang and Grand priest Xue Lai kept flying north. They kept flying and flying.
In order to avoid another dispute, the two of them had been flying along the coastline. To a certain extent, the church of the fire god was a relatively poor Supreme force, and they did not have a flying beast. Therefore, the ultrasonic flying beast that high priest Shelly was riding on was still borrowed from Shen Ye.
However, for some reason, she used the reason that she needed to talk to Shen lang in secret to ride with him.
Emperor Shen lang, I have yet to congratulate you on your great victory in the eastern world. of course, ” said Shelley, ” I have to congratulate you for having an unparalleled Crown Prince.
“You’ve seen my son?” Shen lang asked.
Grand priest Xue Lai said, ” Your Majesty Shen lang, you have underestimated the power of the great Qian Empire. You have also underestimated your own weight. As your closest and most loyal friends in the West, how could we not come to pay our respects when the Empress and the Crown Prince came to the Jade Gold City? ” If it wasn’t for the fact that we had important matters to attend to, we would’ve been very eager for Your Highness to visit our fire god sect. I’ve met Your Highness three times, and I was more moved each time.”
“At least, he is more suitable to be the ruler of a country than me,” Shen lang said.
that’s why I often think that if my son can be half as good as you, I’ll be satisfied, ” said Shelley.
Shen lang was stunned and said,”the high priest is getting married?” That’s really heartbreaking.”
Your Majesty Shen Lang’s words are the ones that break my heart, ” Grand priest Xue Lai said. you promised me. Have you forgotten? ”
Shen lang tried hard to recall, and he really did remember. He exclaimed, ” “Wow, the scenery up ahead is really not bad.” 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶
F * ck, your way of changing the topic is too clumsy.
“Yes, it’s so beautiful,” said high priest Shelly.
At this time, they had already flown about 20000 miles away from raging tide city. They had completely passed through most of the xilun Empire’s territory.
Further north, it was basically covered in snow. And the sea surface here had already started to freeze into ice.
It was indeed very beautiful. The seawater was about to solidify, but it didn’t look like it was frozen. Half of it was ice, and the other half was seawater. Under the sunlight, it reflected a dazzling light. It was truly beautiful.
“So, this is close to the northernmost continent?” Shen lang asked.
no, Your Majesty Shen lang, ” Grand priest Xue Lai said. we are at least 10000 to 20000 miles away from the northernmost continent.
It was truly unimaginable. The seawater here had been completely frozen, but they were still ten to twenty thousand miles away from the northernmost continent. It was impossible to imagine how cold it would be if they went any further north.
“Have you guys explored the northernmost continent?” Shen lang asked.
the northernmost continent is a Holy Land for adventuring for all the heroes in the world, ” high priest Shelly said. no one doesn’t want to conquer it, but no one has succeeded. Even a great adventurer like vice Empress Helen gave up on the adventure to the northernmost continent.
Shen lang said,”is it because of the White capital?” As we all know, any place with snow is white jade city’s territory. Once you enter the northernmost continent, you’ll be completely offending them.” ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m
that’s not the case, ” said Shelley. I’ve only heard of this sentence after I came to the eastern world. I’ve never heard it before. However, at least in the Western world, the White capital is lonely and arrogant. They never show their faces and don’t get in touch with anyone, so they won’t stop anyone from taking risks in the northernmost continent. The only things that stop heroes from taking risks are the terrible danger and cold.”
“How cold is it?” Shen lang asked.
Grand priest Shelley said, ” Your Majesty Shen lang, we would usually describe the cold as a drop of water turning into ice. However, the true cold of the northernmost continent is that the air has disappeared. That’s because it has frozen into blue snow and is falling to the ground.
This, this was very terrifying.
This meant that the temperature was below-200 degrees Celsius. The melting point of oxygen was-219 degrees Celsius, and the melting point of nitrogen was-210 degrees Celsius.
Once the temperature dropped below this level, all the air would freeze into ice, turning into strange blue snow and falling to the ground, so there was no air.
At such a low temperature, life could not survive.
Shen lang said, ” this is an extremely harsh environment. It has exceeded the limits of any life form. No matter how good one’s martial arts are, it is impossible to reach the northernmost continent.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” replied Shelley.
“In the known history, how many people have successfully reached the northernmost continent?” Shen lang asked.
“Western history?” Shelly the high priest asked. It should be His Majesty Sauron.”
This was incredible. Why was soran so bad * SS? Even Helen couldn’t go to the northernmost continent, and she didn’t dare to go there. How could he go there?
“Which year did Sauron go on an adventure to the northernmost continent?” Shen lang asked.
it happened a very, very long time ago, ” Xue Lai said. it should have been more than 30 years. He was only in his 20s back then.
Emperor Sauron was already in his 50s, but this was normal. Shen lang was already 31 years old, and Princess Helen was already in her 40s.
at that time, the xilun Empire was divided, ” Grand priest Shelly said. when Sauron was still a Prince, he set off in front of all the nobles in the imperial capital to go to the northernmost continent. At that time, he said that once he successfully reached the northernmost continent and retrieved the sword of the XI Lun Emperor, everyone would have to be loyal to him. He would then become the undisputed Emperor of the XI Lun Empire.”
Shen lang could feel Sauron’s tragedy.
At that time, it had been decades since the destruction of the second xilun Empire. The members of the xilun royal family had fought to the death for the throne, and there were no signs of an end. No one had enough prestige to unify the xilun Empire.
The Emperor of xilun from 800 years ago had obviously foreseen this scene. Thus, before his death, he passed the throne to his son and went north alone to return to his hometown in the northernmost continent. He disappeared with his Emperor’s sword.
Back then, all the nobles in the Empire had witnessed this scene. Siron I was old, strong, lonely, and brave. Step by step, he disappeared into the heavy snow.
In addition, xilun I had left behind his last words. When the Empire was divided, any descendant of the xilun royal family would become the new emperor of the xilun Empire as long as they obtained the xilun Emperor’s sword that he had left behind in the northernmost continent and returned to the imperial capital.
Since then, the XI Lun Empire had been torn apart more than once. More than one person had wanted to accomplish this great feat and ascend to the throne by relying on the last words of the XI Lun Emperor.
However, all of them failed. Not a single one of them managed to return with the xilun Emperor’s sword. All of them died on the way.
Moreover, the northernmost continent was getting colder and colder.
Therefore, in the end, all of the XI Lun imperial family had given up completely because this was a path of certain death.
At that time, soran, who was in his twenties, was also a member of the direct line of the Syron royal family, but his right of inheritance was not in the front. He was ambitious, but he did not have many supporters, so he chose to embark on this tragic road to his hometown in the northernmost continent and take back the emperor’s sword that Syron I had placed there.
When he disappeared into the snow and ice, no one was optimistic about his chances. They all thought that he was dead for sure.
However, he did not expect that he would return after a few decades with the emperor’s sword of xilun I.
He became the first hero to return from his hometown in the northernmost continent in hundreds of years. Not only did he come back with the sword of the xilun Emperor, but his martial arts were also top-notch and unfathomable. He was so powerful that it was beyond everyone’s imagination. He single-handedly defeated an entire city and marched all the way South. He was unstoppable and became the Emperor of the xilun Empire.
After he understood the situation, Shen lang was even more confused.
At that time, the xilun people had moved South because the northern continent had become cold. After the most tragic tens of thousands of miles of moving south, the millions of people were finally left with only ten thousand people.
The Emperor of xilun had relied on these 10000 people to sweep across the entire continent of Wei da and establish the enormous xilun Empire.
In the past few hundred years, the northernmost continent had been getting colder every year. Before xilun I died, he returned to the old capital and returned the emperor’s sword to his hometown. A few hundred years later, the temperature in the old capital of xilun should have reached the point where there was no air. How did soran survive? It was completely inconceivable.
Shen lang suddenly said,”1000 years ago, the XI Lun Empire was in the northern continent, right?” Because the weather had turned cold, the northern continent was no longer suitable for survival. Thus, they made the most tragic move, which was to move their entire clan South. They followed the ocean and set off towards the unknown South.”
“That’s right,” high priest Shelly said.
“Then, 1000 years ago, was it the day the fiery dragon comet first appeared?” Shen lang asked.
that’s right, Your Majesty, ” said Shelley. this world is so wonderful, right? ”
Yes, it was too wonderful.
When the fire-Dragon comet first appeared, the great Yan Empire rose, the northern continent was frozen, and the xilun Empire moved South.
The fire Dragon comet hit the ground for the last time and completely disappeared. The situation changed drastically.
The Dragon was born.
“So, Your Majesty, your mission may be far greater than you imagined,” she said. Don’t worry, we, the church of the fire god, will always be by your side and become your most loyal ally.”
Shen lang looked at Shelly and asked, ” “What’s your purpose?”
of course, ” Grand priest Shelly said. I’ll light up the whole world in the darkest moment.
Shen lang said, ” actually, Sauron was not the only one who went to the northernmost continent successfully. There was another person who went there earlier. That person was my father, Jiang Li.
Jiang Li had been adventuring in the Western world for a long time. He did not return to the eastern world directly. Instead, he went north to the northernmost continent and found the White capital. That was how he met Shen Lang’s mother.
In front of Shen lang, there were many mysteries, but they seemed to be solved.
....................................
Finally, they were about to arrive!
The temperature here was extremely cold as it was-10 ° C. Fortunately, Shen lang had the ancient king’s ring and the dragon’s heart. Otherwise, he would have frozen to death a few days ago.
At this time, the sea here was even more beautiful because there were icebergs everywhere. Large areas of the sea were completely frozen.
“It has indeed become colder here.” I came here a few years ago, ” said Shelley. this sea hasn’t been completely frozen yet.
“In other words, fiery flame city is close to the northernmost continent?” Shen lang asked.
according to the theory of the church of the fire, ” said Shelley, ” the fiery city is the boundary between the Weida continent and the northern continent because it is an Island. To its South is the vast sea, and to its North is also the vast sea. Two thousand miles to the North of the ocean, you will see the northern continent, the continent that is completely frozen.”
Shen lang did not feel anything as the last few thousand miles were covered in ice and snow. The surface of the sea was completely frozen, and he could not tell if it was land or sea.
“Your Majesty, the island ahead is the entrance to the fiery flame city.” High priest Shelly said.
Shen lang was stunned, and his eyes lit up.
This was the frozen sea, and there was snow everywhere. There was a mountain not far ahead. The mountain was blue all over, and under the sunlight, it looked like a huge gem, crystal clear.
Your Majesty, it’s too cold there. I can’t take it anymore. High priest Shelly said.
It wasn’t just high priest Shelley who couldn’t take it, the two supersonic flying beasts couldn’t take it either and were trembling.
The closer they got to the entrance of fiery flame city, the lower the temperature became.
a few decades ago, there was endless magma under fiery flame city, so it was snowing heavily around it. Only this Island was as warm as spring. It was very magical. However, after that experiment failed, this place became even colder than other places.”
Shen lang landed on the ice. The Super creature could no longer get close to him. He was still more than ten miles away from the entrance of fiery flame city, so Shen lang had to walk there.
“You guys wait for me here.” “Also, eat something to replenish your energy. Wait for me to come back,” Shen lang said.
“Be careful, Your Majesty.” “You haven’t fulfilled your promise to me yet,” said Shelley.
wow, this scenery is so beautiful. It’s unbelievable. Shen lang said and walked towards the entrance of fiery flame city.
....................................
It was really easy to walk here. Because it was the frozen sea, it was full of snow, but the snow was also frozen hard. Stepping on it would not bury the soles of the feet, so it was perfect for walking.
Shen lang was wearing the ancient king ring and the ancient armor. He was in a comfortable state of constant temperature.
They were getting closer and closer to the entrance of fiery flame city, which was an iceberg hundreds of meters high.
When she walked in, she realized that it was even more beautiful. Because the green trees in the ice could still be seen clearly.
The fiery Island was supposed to be spring all year round, but due to an accident in the fire god sect’s experiment, it was instantly frozen, so the trees were still alive under the ice.
It was hard to imagine what kind of treasure the church of the fire god had obtained from the comet’s impact. It could freeze such a large island and the entire underground city in an instant. How much power was needed to do that?
When he stepped onto the island, Shen lang not only saw green trees in the ice, but he also saw flowers, butterflies, and birds.
They were all sealed in ice at the last moment, and they were very lifelike.
It was definitely a Supreme treasure!
Grand priest Shelly said that it was a surging crystal. According to common sense, it should have released a cold energy and frozen everything.
But in fact, this shouldn’t be the case. Instead, it had devoured all the heat energy, and it was constantly devouring it, which was why it had instantly frozen, and the strange scene of it being constantly frozen.
Was it a coincidence? It was the same for the northernmost continent. It suddenly became colder and colder, and eventually, it was completely frozen.
Coincidentally, when the fire Dragon comet first appeared, the northernmost continent was frozen.
Of course, the extreme north had been cold for two hundred years. The fiery-Dragon comet had appeared a thousand years ago, and the xilun Emperor had led millions of xilun people to migrate to the South eight hundred years ago.
In other words, in the past 200 years, the northern continent had become colder and colder. The old xilun Empire had continuously moved South. In the end, they had moved to the southernmost part of the continent but still could not survive. They had decisively crossed the sea and headed to the unknown southern world.
Shen lang found the entrance easily. It was a stone door with the flag of the demonic sect carved on it.
Shen lang got the AI to check. The temperature at the entrance of fiery flame city was-79 degrees Celsius.
The stone door at the entrance was also completely sealed in ice, and it was extremely thick. Even explosives and cannons might not be able to break through it.
However, it was a piece of cake for Shen lang.
energy vortex!
He waved the Dragon Sword, and the energy vortex shot out and hit the entrance of the stone door.
In an instant, the stone door was crushed into pieces.
However, Shen lang had a bad feeling about this. If ghost noon had brought the Dragon here before, the entrance to the stone gate should have been damaged.
After entering the stone door, the temperature inside dropped instantly.
In front of him was a bottomless underground tunnel. Shen lang walked down the tunnel.
The temperature got lower and lower until it reached-100 degrees Celsius. Of course, Shen lang maintained his temperature at the same level and never had to worry about running out of energy because the energy source in the heart of the dragon was the Dragon blood marrow.
One thousand meters, two thousand meters underground!
Finally, they entered the inner part of fiery flame city.
This was originally a normal ancient city, but because of the ancient great Nirvana, the entire world underwent an earth-shaking change. The ocean became land, and land became ocean, so this city was also buried underground.
The 2,000-meter tunnel was dug by the fire god sect because they had discovered the ancient fiery city decades ago. To a certain extent, it could be considered an ancient ruin.
This was the Western world, and by right, all ancient cities should be in the style of The Lost Empire, with half of them under the sea and the other half above the sea.
This city was completely different from The Lost Empire. The entire city was built from brown stone, and it was not gorgeous. Instead, it was majestic, ancient, and mysterious.
The city seemed to be very complete, about a few hundred square kilometers, and even the streets and houses were intact. However, there was not a single ancient human in the city, not even a fossil.
The entire city was very well-planned. There was a square in the middle of the city, and in the middle of the square was a pyramid about 100 meters high.
Another pyramid.
Along the way, Shen lang saw many corpses. All of them were wearing the robes of the fire god sect. They should be the priests and scholars from the fire god sect who came here back then. When they were running, their bodies froze, and their faces were still filled with fear.
The closer they got to the pyramid in the center of the fiery flame city ruins, the more corpses they encountered.
However, the furthest they had gone was less than 200 meters. It was clear that the experiment had been very unexpected, and the ice had frozen almost instantly.
Shen lang could not find ghost noon or Jiang Li in the entire city.
Of course, the snail ancestor had said that ghost noon was a man with a Thousand Faces, and you never knew what face he would show up in. But at least he wouldn’t wear the fire god sect’s robes, right?
Shen lang entered the pyramid. This was where the fire god sect conducted their experiments.
The temperature here was even more shocking. It had already reached-150 degrees Celsius.
Almost all the experimental equipment was covered in a thick layer of ice.
Shen lang promised high priest Shelley that if possible, he would help the fire god sect find the treasure that was hit by the fire Dragon comet.
The fire god sect called it the hell crystal.
This was because it could take on any form, be it gas, liquid, or solid. Furthermore, it was constantly surging and could destroy everything.
Following the map given by Grand priest Shelly, Shen lang entered the core Laboratory in the pyramid.
The hell crystal that fell from the fiery dragon comet should be here, right?
However, Shen lang did not find anything. The experiment table was empty, and there were 15 corpses in the laboratory. They were all high priests of the fire god sect, and everyone’s eyes were filled with excitement.
This wasn’t right. Shouldn’t it be the light of despair and fear? Why was he excited?
Was it because they thought the experiment was a success?
But where were the hell crystals? Where was this Supreme treasure?
It had completely disappeared!
Of course, Shen Lang’s most important mission in the ruins of fiery flame city was to find ghost noon.
However, even after searching the entire pyramid, ghost noon was still nowhere to be found.
Shen lang continued his search and arrived at the bottom of the pyramid. There was a door there, and behind the door was a deep tunnel.
He knew that the passage of the pyramid led to the magma sea.
The sea of lava was the name given by the fire god sect because it was boundless and surging lava, just like an ocean.
The door at the bottom of the pyramid was closed and sealed in ice.
Shen lang destroyed another energy Whirlpool easily and entered the bottomless underground tunnel again.
The underground tunnel was even deeper. It was more than 20000 meters deep, and it kept going down diagonally. Shen lang started to doubt his life.
The further down he went, the lower the temperature became.
In the end, all the air was gone, and the ground was covered with a layer of blue snow. This was the result of all the air freezing into ice.
Fortunately, Shen lang had the dragon’s heart and the ancient king’s ring, so he was still very comfortable.
This was the first time he had seen such a scene. The air had frozen into ice and turned into falling snow.
Finally!
The long underground passage was over, and they had reached the end.
Then, Shen lang was completely stunned!
At the end of the underground passage was a boundless abyss, with no end in sight.
And below this abyss was the sea of magma.
He saw an unprecedented scene-a solidified sea of lava.
The lava was astonishingly hot, at least over 1000 degrees Celsius. After it solidified, it should have been the color of an ordinary rock. However, the sea of lava in front of him was blue.
It was a stunning blue color, and it was emitting a strange light.
It really was like the ocean. Even the seawater was colored, but it was frozen.
The mist was the most amazing scenery that Shen lang had ever seen. It even surpassed the ruins of The Lost Empire in the great devil triangle.
The sea of lava was much larger than he had imagined. What kind of astonishing fiery energy was contained in it? No wonder Jiang Li had asked ghost noon to bring the Dragon here. The lava here was enough for the Dragon to devour and grow.
However, he didn’t expect an accident to happen. The sea of lava here actually froze. What was that hell crystal? It actually froze such a huge sea of lava?
What was lava? It was the underground energy of a planet, which was almost endless.
When all the volcanoes on a planet were dormant, the planet would die as well. The volcanoes were the beating hearts of the planet.
What about the northernmost continent?
Was it also because of this? Was it because of the strange hell crystals that devoured all the heat and caused the entire continent to be frozen?
If that was the case, then it was not a crystal. It was a type of life, a strange and powerful life that devoured all heat.
Even with Shen Lang’s understanding, he could not tell what state this life form was in.
What did it want to do?
Devouring the heat of an entire continent? What did it want to achieve?
Shen lang could feel that he had come into contact with the ultimate secret and the ultimate truth of this world.
Of course, this was only the edge of the truth.
This truth was even more important than Shen lang taming the giant dragon.
It was even related to the fate of the entire world.
The crystal of hell was still devouring with all its might, because the lava deep underground should be connected.
Therefore, the entire world would continue to become colder.
What was the limit of that coldness? What was the limit of devouring?
What would happen once the hell crystals reached their limit?
How would it change the fate of the world? Another destruction? Or something else?
Of course, Shen lang was still far away from that. To him, the most important thing was for Tao Wu to find ghost noon and find a way to tame the Dragon.
Shen lang found ghost noon very quickly.
He was kneeling in the middle of the magma sea because his body was so small that he looked like an ant in the vast magma sea.
Shen lang took a deep breath and jumped down from the end of the underground tunnel into the solidified sea of lava. It was a few hundred meters high.
Just as it was about to land, its ancient equipment reflected a plasma flame, allowing it to land slowly.
The lava was completely hardened. It was not even rock, but more like a crystal. It was a complete vacuum, and the temperature had exceeded-230 degrees Celsius.
After walking for a few thousand meters, Shen lang arrived in front of the figure.
He was ghost noon?
Shen lang had imagined his appearance countless times, but he was still shocked when he saw him in person.
It was because Lao Ai looked very similar to Emperor Jiang Li, almost identical.
Of course, Shen lang had only seen the portrait of Emperor Jiang Li, but it was very realistic.
GUI Wu was Emperor Jiang Li’s shadow, and even Xue Yin didn’t know of his existence.
It was like the relationship between Shen lang and the mirror. One was called a mirror, and the other was called a shadow.
However, this was normal and reasonable.
But Yingluo was already dead!
Ghost noon was already dead. He had been frozen for decades.
Before he died, he knelt on the ground with great respect, as if he had seen Jiang Li. His frozen expression seemed to have a thousand words to say.
However, he could vaguely read that this old servant was here to pay respects to the young master and his Majesty.
His eyes were full of desire before he died, because he didn’t know if Emperor Jiang Li would have any descendants or if anyone would come to him.
If not, it would mean that the great Qian Empire and the Jiang royal family were finished.
That was why he yearned for someone to come. He was extremely eager for someone to find him.
Shen lang wanted to ask him a million questions, but he could not get an answer.
But there were some things that didn’t need to be answered.
The Dragon and Shen lang had an agreement. Shen lang had to bring the things that he had lost to the Dragon.
What did it lose? This thing must be of great importance, and it couldn’t come to get it.
It was the thing ghost noon was holding!
The Dragon Soul Pearl!
Shen lang found it.
....................................
[ note: as expected, it was dropped again. Do you have to be so miserable? ] My fellow benefactors, can you still save me? After expressing his gratitude, he kowtowed on the table.
