Entering Black Dragon Pool

"Master, protect Yan'er and give her the 'Azure Heart Nether Lotus Fruit' to cure the Corrupting Demon Poison in your body."

The Azure Heart Nether Lotus Fruit is said to originate from the Nether Lotus at the bottom of Black Dragon Pool, and is guarded by a Black Dragon.

This lotus blooms every three hundred years, bears fruit every three hundred years, and matures every three hundred years.

The moment it ripens, it will attract Heavenly Tribulation. After passing through the Heavenly Tribulation, this fruit will develop the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth, and will be able to heal the dead, restore flesh to bones, and remove the erosion of negative energy.

If a person suffering from a severe poison eats this fruit, the virus will immediately disappear, and they will become energetic and vigorous. It will also help prolong life and even enhance one's cultivation, allowing them to reach a higher realm.

The Black Dragon guards the bottom of the pool, waiting for the fruit to ripen. Once devoured, it will make the dragon even stronger.

Nalan Yan was dressed in a black outfit, her Spiritual Power surging around her, like a deep whirlpool hidden in a dark pool at night.

The Spiritual Power quickly enveloped his body, condensing into a protective shield.

She moved with light, graceful steps, her figure like a ghost, silently stepping into the pool.

The pool water was as black as ink, with undercurrents surging beneath it.

Nalan Yan knew that the Black Dragon at the bottom of the pool was no pushover, and that the slightest carelessness could lead to her being crushed to pieces.

Therefore, every step was taken with extreme caution, without even causing the slightest ripple.

As soon as she submerged, the thick, inky blackness instantly swallowed her up, plunging her into complete darkness, as if she had been thrown into an endless void.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only the rapid beating of my own heart ringing in my ears.

Nalan Yan froze, as if she had merged with the darkness, lying in wait with her eyes closed, fully mobilizing her spiritual senses to try to detect any unusual movements in the darkness.

After a long while, a faint light slowly appeared before her eyes, and the blurry scenery gradually became clear. After seeing the small fish swimming around her, she carefully continued to dive down, just like a nimble fish.

More than ten minutes passed quietly. The water pressure was like a hammer, constantly squeezing the protective shield and causing waves of Spiritual Power to fluctuate.

Fish would occasionally swim recklessly by, bumping into the Spiritual Power shield and creating ripples of spiritual patterns.

She had no time to be distracted; her clear eyes scanned the surroundings warily, not missing a single shadow.

After sinking for another twenty minutes, the underwater atmosphere became increasingly chilling, faintly exuding an ancient and imposing aura.

Suddenly, an arc-shaped barrier appeared before them, like a chasm separating the realms of Yin and Yang, isolating the water curtain from the mysterious space below.

Behind the barrier was a huge cave. At the bottom of the cave, the Black Dragon's body was winding and coiled, its scales glowing with a dark light. Its body, as thick as a pillar, resembled a majestic mountain. Its huge head was hidden in the cave, its aura calm and steady, clearly indicating that it was fast asleep.

In the center of the dragon's embrace, a Nether Lotus rose from the ground, resembling a small tree with its branches and leaves swaying gracefully. Three emerald green fruits hung gracefully from the branches, shimmering with a faint light. Their rich fragrance, like tangible threads, easily penetrated the barrier and went straight into Nalan Yan's heart and lungs.

Her pupils contracted sharply, her breathing quickened, and a fleeting look of greed and surprise crossed her eyes.

As if startled by this subtle fluctuation, the Black Dragon suddenly raised its massive head, its enormous copper bell-shaped eyes wide open, their cold light flashing like lightning, locking onto Nalan Yan.

"You petty thief, how dare you trespass on the Emperor's territory! You're courting death!"

The Black Dragon roared in a deep, furious voice, like a thunderclap, causing the water in the pool to surge and churn.

As soon as she moved, the Black Dragon appeared outside the barrier and lashed out at her with its tail.

Nalan Yan inwardly cried out in alarm. In a flash, she transformed into a streak of black light and teleported several feet, narrowly avoiding the Black Dragon's massive tail that swept down with immense force.

That strike was like a black lightning bolt, stirring up the pool into a chaotic Chaos, with swirling undercurrents and countless fish instantly stunned.

Nalan Yan dared not linger in the fight, and took advantage of the situation to quickly rise to the surface. She was hampered at every turn underwater and was not going to stay there for long.

The Black Dragon would not give up easily. With a twist of its massive body, it soared out of the sea and gave chase.

In an instant, a man and a dragon burst forth from the water with immense force, confronting each other in mid-air.

Nalan Yan took the initiative, her jade hand swiftly waving, and several streams of Spiritual Power surged from her palm, like black silk, winding and coiling around the Black Dragon.

Upon seeing this, the Black Dragon spewed out a thick Black Mist from its nostrils, as if a poisonous miasma was spreading. The Spiritual Power strands that touched the dragon's scales were instantly corroded by more than half. The remaining energy struck the dragon's Dragon Scales, but only a few Mars flew out, without causing any damage.

"Hmph, a mere trick!" the Black Dragon scoffed, opening its massive jaws to unleash a torrent of Dragon Breath.

The intense heat instantly evaporated the surrounding water vapor, turning it into billowing white mist. The flames formed pillars, as if to incinerate everything in the world, howling as they rushed towards Nalan Yan.

Nalan Yan's expression was solemn. Her hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals. The Spiritual Power shield in front of her shone brightly, transforming into a Bagua shape and spinning rapidly, barely managing to withstand the impact of the Dragon Breath.

However, the flames seemed to possess a spirit, constantly impacting and scorching the edges of the Bagua. For a moment, the golden-red flames collided and intertwined with the black Spiritual Power, creating a dazzling display of light and shadow, like fireworks of the apocalypse, illuminating the entire night sky.

"Trying to trap me? Not so easy!"

Nalan Yan raised her Liu Mei and shouted, her Spiritual Power flowing into the protective shield like a burst dam.

The light of the Bagua Spirit Shield suddenly intensified, transforming into a tangible blade that spun rapidly, shredding the Mars 'Dragon Breath and turning it into sparks flying everywhere.

Taking advantage of the brief moment, the woman moved with lightning speed, closing in with a Longsword in her hand.

The sword blade gleamed coldly, like a shooting star in the dark night, aiming straight for the Black Dragon's throat.

The Black Dragon remained calm and composed. With a twist of its neck, its Dragon Scales stood up, layer upon layer, resembling an indestructible suit of armor.

With a loud "clang," the sword blade pierced the Dragon Scales, causing her hands to go numb and her body to fly several feet backward.

Taking advantage of the momentum, the Black Dragon charged forward, its claws reaching out like giant black hooks, carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks to grab Nalan Yan.

Nalan Yan steadied herself, lightly touched the air with her toes, and dodged to the side.

However, the Black Dragon's claws were too fast, and he couldn't completely dodge them. A piece of his clothes was torn off by the dragon's claws, and he was in grave danger.

Nalan Yan's beautiful eyes flashed with murderous intent. She held nothing back and unleashed a small, exquisite black pagoda.

The pagoda hovered in mid-air, instantly magnifying several times over. Runes on its body flickered, and black light curtains descended, resembling a cage that trapped the Black Dragon within.

"Black Dragon, this is the Dragon Trapping Pagoda. Today, I will capture you!"

As Nalan Yan finished speaking, she formed hand seals, chanted incantations, and fully activated the sealing power of the pagoda.

Trapped, the Black Dragon unleashed its full power, its dragon energy surging wildly, its body expanding rapidly, its scales standing upright and constantly striking the light barrier.

Each impact caused the heavens and earth to tremble, and the light curtain rippled, teetering on the verge of collapse.

"Trying to seal away the Second Emperor? Wishful thinking!"

Seeing that its attacks could not break through the cage, the Black Dragon roared to the sky and spat out a Dragon Pearl containing World-destroying power.

The bead was entirely black, with a restrained, eerie light, yet it concealed boundless oppressive power.

The Dragon Pearl crashed into the light barrier like a nuclear explosion, with blinding light and deafening noise, instantly blasting a hole in the light barrier.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Black Dragon broke free, its body engulfed in dragon flames, and its aura surged to its peak.

Nalan Yan suffered a backlash, her face turned pale, her Spiritual Power was almost exhausted, and the resolute look in her eyes became even more intense.

She bit her tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence. With her hands, she drew intricate runes with the blood and shouted, "Dark Spirit Blast!"

The surrounding Spiritual Power was frantically drawn and compressed, transforming into a dazzling black sphere. The space seemed unable to bear the burden, and it was faintly twisted and collapsed.

The Black Dragon seemed to sense a fatal crisis and dared not underestimate it. It gathered all its dragon power and poured it into the Dragon Pearl, preparing to withstand this fatal blow head-on.

In an instant, the black ball and the Dragon Pearl collided with a deafening roar, like two stars colliding.

The dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire sky, and the blinding light made the entire Abyssal Demon as bright as day.

The energy ripples spread in a circular pattern, causing mountains to collapse, pools to dry up, and the earth to crack wherever they went, as if an apocalyptic catastrophe had descended.

As the light faded, Nalan Yan, her clothes tattered and blood trickling from her lips, fell helplessly to the ground.

The Black Dragon was also seriously injured, with many of its Dragon Scales broken and blood flowing out.

Compared to Nalan Yan, the Black Dragon was in much better condition. Seeing Nalan Yan collapse weakly to the ground, the Black Dragon laughed loudly, opened its mouth wide, and pounced directly on her.
