Ancestor Above Chapter 372

372 The decaying Dragon

If the circular ball of light, the so-called power of the forbidden spell, was only cold and powerful, but not dangerous, then the aura emitted by the pure black Gate in the center was the purest evil.

Lu Qing was a little afraid, and even his footsteps were a little hesitant.

He was in his higher consciousness form, but it was not as if nothing could hurt him.

In the reflection of the Penglai divine Palace, the God's blood was projected into the inverted immortal Palace's reflection and formed that ball of golden flame, which was the thing that could hurt him. In the icy Plains of the extreme north, the severed limb left behind by the evil demon Lord was also something that could hurt him.

Right now, Lu Qing had a strong feeling that the thing behind the black door might have the same ability.

More importantly, be it the divine fire or the limbs, they were ‘dead' and would not move. As long as Lu Qing did not go into a daze and court death, there would not be any major problems.

Lu Qing had already walked around the ball of light once, but he did not find anything special about it. It was obvious that this ball of light was merely a seal. The immemorial inheritance was not here.

That should be inside the black door.

This placed a question in front of Lu Qing. Should I go in and take a look?

It was the same logic as roasting a divine fire and sticking a broken limb inside when one saw it.

However, regardless of whether it was the divine fire or the severed limbs, they did not have much to do with Lu Qing's interests. If he didn't get close, then so be it. What was the loss?

But this time, it was different. The immemorial inheritance was most likely inside. What should he do?

“But Yingluo's situation might not be as bad as I think, Yingluo”

“This door should lead to a secret realm. According to the situation of that severed limb, if I get too close, it will indeed be very dangerous, but the degree of danger is controlled by me. It shouldn't be a situation where I will fall into a dangerous situation as soon as I enter the secret realm, so I can slowly plan.”

“Even if there's really danger inside the door, I can easily pass through this powerful restrictive seal in my current state. When the time comes, I just have to quickly exit. Whatever's sealed inside, no matter what it is, it shouldn't be able to come out. Otherwise, after so many years, he would've been released long ago.”

“As for whether or not he will open the door and kill Yingluo, I don't think so.”

As he thought about this, Lu Qing's consciousness slowly approached the pure black door again.

When he reached the door, he took a deep breath-simulated by his higher consciousness-and then walked in.

His field of vision suddenly became extremely dark. A thick, pungent smell filled his entire mind, even in his higher consciousness form.

I didn't expect that I would be so stinky in my consciousness form.

It was a little scary.

Even so, Lu Qing was still overjoyed.

Other than the terrible experience of the stench, he did not feel any other substantial threat.

It was just that the malicious intent had become stronger.

After the visual ability of his higher consciousness form had gotten more used to the dark environment, Lu Qing began to size up his surroundings.

The ground was black, and the undulating mountains in the distance were only a dark outline. There was no moon or sun in the sky, and it was dark. There were only patches of blood-red clouds floating in from all directions, gathering and dispersing. These blood-red clouds seemed to be the only light in the world.

The entire world was very dark and dark. Everything he saw through the diffuse reflection was also dark red.

This was a world of despair.

Lu Qing controlled his consciousness and slowly floated up. He didn't fly too high, just a little above the ground.

He was here to search for ancient inheritances. If he flew too high, he would miss the things on the ground.

After taking action, Lu Qing quickly made some discoveries.

He saw many corpses.

The remains of giant Dragons seemed to be scattered all over the secret realm. Only half of the dragon's head was left, the flesh and blood had long rotted away, leaving only a layer of skin and bones, broken dragon scales, broken dragon horns, and a skeleton.

In the outside world, the dragon clan was rare and powerful. They were even used as totems by various celestial nations, a symbol of power. Occasionally, even the lowest level flood Dragon had the strength equivalent to the initial enlightenment stage. A three-clawed Dragon with scales on its body was at least a golden core cultivator. Above that, the four-clawed nascent soul and the five-clawed Dharma form were even rarer.

Apart from their rarity, the Dragon race was powerful and intelligent.

But here, four-clawed and five-clawed Dragons were everywhere. It was as if they were not the noble and rare dragon clan, but a group of ordinary cannon fodder on the battlefield.

In the legends, the base camp of the Dragon race, the so-called Dragon Palace, was located in the depths of the East Sea.

Could this be the place?

No, Yingluo shouldn't be.

This should be the traces left behind by the ancient battlefields where the demons fought in ancient times.

Lu Qing composed himself and continued to fly around.

He didn't forget the most important task of this trip.

This place was dangerous. Although it had not appeared yet and the deep malice was only a feeling for the time being, he still felt that it was not good to stay here for long. The sooner he found the inheritance, the sooner he could escape. Being like a Hedgehog was the best strategy.

Lu Qing's perception of the passage of time was a little blurry in this area. He was not too sure how long he had been in there. He only knew that he had spent karma to replenish the time he had left his body once.

In fact, when he realized that his perception of time had become blurry, he had already been on guard. However, the time limit of leaving the body had become a very reliable reminder to him at this time. He was also using this to measure how long he had been here.

The expensive price of leaving the body told him that he could not stay here for too long.

He was prepared to replenish it at most two more times. If he still couldn't find it by then, he would just treat what he had paid previously as a sunk cost and throw it away.

But fortunately, that situation did not happen. Lu Qing finally found what he was looking for in the depths of the secret realm before the time he left his body was replenished.

It was about the size of a human head. At first glance, it looked like the legendary dragon Ball, but when he got closer, he found that his guess was wrong. The Dragon Ball was a Dragon Ball, but it was not complete. It was only a fragment.

Even so, Lu Qing still felt a sense of attraction.

This was the immemorial inheritance that he was looking for.

He was overjoyed in his heart. The heavens did not let down the determined!

He immediately flew in that direction.

With his flying speed, it seemed like he could cover quite a long distance in the blink of an eye.

However, at this moment, the alarm in his heart suddenly rang!

He was not unfamiliar with this feeling-it was a spiritual warning from a cultivator.

If the malicious intent that he had felt before had only been a perception, it had now turned into a real threat almost instantly.

Without any reason, he immediately stopped moving and quickly retreated.

This was the biggest advantage of being a higher consciousness. There was no such thing as inertia, and there would not be a situation where he could not stop. His consciousness form could move as he wished, even in an instant. Other than not being able to teleport, he had many other means.

Lu Qing had to admit that his spiritual awareness had saved his life.

A huge black Claw whizzed past where he had been standing.

This attack was completely silent, without any sound or perception. If it was not for the fact that he could clearly sense the changes in the malicious intent and his uniqueness as a higher consciousness form, he would not have been able to Dodge it.

He didn't know what would happen to him if he died in his higher consciousness form, but he didn't want to know or experience it.

Lu Qing did not stop moving even though he had dodged the Black Dragon Claw.

The danger was not over yet. He pushed his speed with all his might and drew an arc backward. He tried to leave the original place and get out of the attack range. On the other hand, he maintained his head facing the front. He also wanted to see what kind of monster was attacking him.

It was a dragon's claw. Just the claw alone was the size of an ordinary person.

Lu Qing followed the direction of the dragon's claw and saw a red dot of light in the darkness. It looked like an eye. He then realized who the person who had ambushed him was.

It was a Dragon with a rotten body. There were scars everywhere on the Dragon's body. Some of the scars looked very exaggerated. There was a very deep mark on his tail, which was almost cut off. On his head, there was a cut from a sharp blade. One of his eyes had been cut off. This was also the reason why Lu Qing had only seen a red dot of light in his eye. In the middle of its body, there was a hole, and the dragon's heart seemed to have been dug out.

Looking at the state of his scales, he should have been a noble Golden Dragon. But now, after the passage of time and the corrosion of time by the demonic Qi, that noble temperament had long disappeared, leaving only a bone-deep evil.

Deathly stillness and madness, these two slightly conflicting temperaments, appeared on this decaying Dragon at the same time. It stared at Lu Qing's consciousness form. Then, it opened its mouth wide as if it was roaring. However, no sound was emitted.

This was the first time Lu Qing had been attacked by a living creature-a monster that could move-while he was in his consciousness form. This was something that had never happened before, and it was an extremely dangerous situation.

In his higher consciousness form, he had no means of retaliating. He could only Dodge and escape.

However, on the other hand, Lu Qing did not think that it would be useless even if he had a physical body. The situation might even be worse.

In his higher consciousness form, he could move as he pleased. If it was a physical body, he would not have been able to Dodge that sneak attack.

Lu Qing could sense that this decaying Dragon was an extremely powerful existence. Its strength had definitely reached the materialization realm.

He dared to guarantee that his true form, with his current strength, could be said to be invincible when facing any opponent at the nascent soul level. He could even crush them. However, Dharma was a different matter.

This decaying Dragon did not reveal its transcendence body at the first moment, perhaps because it was trying to launch a sneak attack. As a result, the size of the Dragon was about the same as an ordinary Dragon.

However, as it tried to chase after Lu Qing, it was dodged many times by Lu Qing, who was in his consciousness form and had an extremely agile body. It seemed to be angry.

It raised its head and roared. In an instant, its rotten and wounded body swelled into a huge Dragon!

Lu Qing raised his head and looked up. It was as if the entire world was its dragon body.

In this desolate and evil secret realm, there was a lack of reference objects. Lu Qing found it difficult to judge the size of the other party. However, based on his intuitive judgment, the Dharma form white ghost that he had encountered in the depths of the northern ice sheet could not be bigger than this Dragon.

A huge Dragon Claw smacked down at him.

After being enlarged, the Dragon Claw was like a mountain crashing down.

Agility? What's the use of flexibility! With a single claw, everything would be crushed.

However, Lu Qing was still very calm.

There was no way he could Dodge the claws, but there were other ways.

He immediately burrowed his body into the ground and continued to dive down at a rapid speed, not satisfied at all.

You didn't expect me to be able to drill into the ground without any damage, did you?

The pride in his heart had only appeared for a short while when he suddenly felt a violent tremor above his head.

This huge Dragon had actually dug a huge pit in the ground with one claw!

Fortunately, Lu Qing had dug his way in quickly enough. The claw did not manage to dig him out.

Lu Qing was able to pass through physical objects and restrictive spells when he was in his consciousness form. However, since this decaying Dragon could attack him, he wouldn't be able to pass through its body. He would only be beaten up, so he didn't have any thoughts of trying.

He moved quickly underground. The dragon's claws scratched and dug, but it could not catch Lu Qing, who was running further and deeper.

He didn't know how long he had been running for, but he finally stopped moving. The evil intent that seemed to have substance also gradually dissipated.

Lu Qing did not dare to be careless. He hid underground for a long time before he tried to stick his head out.

The terrifying rotten Dragon King was nowhere to be seen.

He dodged left and right, and indeed could not find the other party.

Based on the size of the decaying Dragon, Lu Qing was certain that it had returned to its normal form. Otherwise, it would have been easy to spot it.

But at the same time, the other party must still be around, and he must not let his guard down.

it's still safer to be underground, Chengcheng. with this thought in mind, Lu Qing went underground and started to think about the entire matter.

Lu Qing calmed down and recalled the entire process. He felt that the Dragon of decay seemed to be protecting the Dragon Pearl fragment.
