Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 377: The Flame Dragon Appears, Factions Battle for Supremacy

Chapter 377: Chapter 377: The Flame Dragon Appears, Factions Battle for Supremacy

Beside a volcano much larger than the others, countless humans and Demon Beasts gathered, all of them possessing formidable power. The lowest were Immortal Emperors, and the highest were Taoist Saints. Among them, two were Taoist Saints, and they were all here waiting for the Dragon Flame Blood Flower to appear.

Chen Lan, Li Chunqiu, and the young girl stood at the farthest point, observing.

"Two Taoist Saints, more than ten Daoist Venerables, hundreds of Great Emperors, especially the Immortal Emperors and Celestial Emperors, too numerous to count. Truly, the Dragon Flame Blood Flower attracts so many to come and compete," Li Chunqiu exclaimed.

"If we weren’t here, wouldn’t the Dragon Flame Blood Flower definitely be claimed by those two Taoist Saints?" Chen Lan wondered aloud.

He never understood why, with two Taoist Saints present, so many others would gather. Don’t they have any self-awareness?

Do they think they can compete with a Taoist Saint?

If he saw two Dao Emperors here, he would certainly leave immediately. In the face of absolute power, any schemes do not matter, and he understood this much.

"Strength alone doesn’t guarantee obtaining the Dragon Flame Blood Flower. Luck is the real key. These people are here to try their luck," Li Chunqiu said with a slight smile, then explained.

Soon enough, Chen Lan realized that the Dragon Flame Blood Flower was bred at the very bottom of the volcano. To snatch it, one must dive deep inside. The magma inside the volcano would be completely absorbed by the Dragon Flame Blood Flower, creating a hollow space. But if you thought the absence of magma made it easier to enter, you’d be sorely mistaken.

This is because the magma only disappears temporarily. Once inside, it would sporadically erupt from the walls, with temperatures extremely high, much hotter than the fiery clouds in the sky. Even a Taoist Saint could be scalded. In the past, an Ice Cold Saint Body, possessing the supreme path of ice, was still scalded by it.

This alone illustrates how high the temperature of the magma is. Additionally, many Fire Spirits reside inside. These Fire Spirits have no physical form, appearing as mere shadows, subsisting on flames. Such a scorching environment serves as a perfect habitat for them.

Moreover, consuming magma rapidly enhances their strength. They primarily inhabit the volcano’s interior and are considered the most formidable beings there. Since learning that the Dragon Flame Blood Flower would be born, humans or Demon Beasts have disturbed them daily. Finally, they lost patience and decided to become the Guardians of the Dragon Flame Blood Flower.

To acquire the Dragon Flame Blood Flower requires reaching the volcano’s innermost part and defeating those Fire Spirits, a daunting challenge.

The reason luck is crucial is that during the ensuing chaos, one might stealthily take the Dragon Flame Blood Flower. Such things have happened many times. A few years ago, an Immortal Emperor managed to seize the flower during a skirmish, leaving Daoist Venerables and Taoist Saints defeated.

After this story spread, even more people came to try their luck, like now.

"Let’s also try our luck," Chen Lan said with a slight smile.

After speaking, he sat cross-legged and planned to enhance his strength while the Dragon Flame Blood Flower was yet to fully mature.

First, he quickly laid down a Time Domain for himself, then took out the Immortal Crane’s corpse and began refining it. With the dual paths of Wind and Ice, he aimed to make a breakthrough!

...

Time passed bit by bit.

A thin and a fat figure arrived, scanning the surroundings with their Divine Sense but found no trace of "Ye Long."

"Damn, could it be that Ye Long isn’t here?" the thin one spoke with a frown.

"That shouldn’t be the case. Would he neglect the Dragon Flame Blood Flower?" the fat one was equally puzzled.

The Dragon Flame Blood Flower is incredibly precious. Even though Ye Long possessed a Divine Bone, he would still be interested in it, surely.

"No, there’s another possibility. Ye Long has disguised himself. He’s offended many people, so he might not dare to show up openly," the thin one suddenly realized, thinking this possibility greater.

The fat one nodded: "Very likely. So who could be Ye Long?"

"We’ll know later. Once the fighting starts, Ye Long loves to use the Divine Bone in battles. It’ll become obvious then."

Both Ye Long and Ye Lan had offended many, but they were quite different. The former provoked deliberately, challenging countless sects and geniuses, arrogant and ruthless. The latter just had such overwhelming strength, defeating many sects and geniuses, becoming a public enemy that couldn’t be dethroned easily.

During Ye Long’s rise, it was beyond his ability to suppress an entire era alone. That period birthed many overly gifted talents, capable of rivaling the Divine Bone.

...

Chen Lan was unaware that, due to killing Guo Gangfeng using the Divine Bone, he had been mistaken for Ye Long, leading someone to pursue him here.

Boom!

As the enormous volcano erupted, countless magma spewed forth, and those below retreated rapidly to evade it.

Roar!!!

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar emanated from the volcano, deafeningly loud.

"It’s coming, the Dragon Flame Blood Flower is about to appear!"

"I wonder who will get it this time, hopefully me."

"Look, only two Taoist Saints this time. A few years ago, there were five. Even then, an Immortal Emperor snatched it, so luck is truly a factor."

"Ah, it’s often the case; when the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman profits. We just need to watch and go in at the right moment."

"It’s harder now. Everyone’s wiser, so it’s tough to have those conflicts anymore."

"Who cares, I’ve brought many Magical Treasures and Talismans for space escape. If I get it, nobody can catch me."

With frequent times where the snipe and clam fought and the fisherman profited, people grew more tactical. They no longer fought but waited for others to engage, then quietly dashed in to seize and flee.

They even brought tools and Talismans not for battle but for escape, taking the Dragon Flame Blood Flower and running, turning the act of seizing into an art form.

In an instant, a colossal dragon emerged from the volcano, its body fiery red with five claws, much resembling the dragons depicted in Huaxia illustrations. Its terrifying visage was ferocious, emitting blazing flames.

Chen Lan awoke with a start, opening his eyes to see the dragon flying into the clouds, dancing among the crimson clouds, a vast shadow swimming within.

"This is the giant dragon formed by Fire Spirits. Each time the Dragon Flame Blood Flower births, they transform into the ancient dragon to intimidate these people," Li Chunqiu said coolly.

Chen Lan nodded. This great dragon indeed had an intimidating presence, but to those solely fixated on gaining Supreme Treasure, it probably wasn’t enough to deter them.

"The Flame Dragon appears, the Dragon Flame Blood Flower is about to be born, go!"
