Battle Through the Heavens: Flame Emperor, Please Restrain Yourself—Your Brother Is Honestly Quite Simple Chapter 44

The Mirage Fish Flood Dragon's body fell onto the ground beside them.

Something miraculous happened—the illusion mist actually stopped forming.

"The Mirage Fish is a fish-type magical beast with Ancient Void Dragon blood in its body, possessing a sliver of the possibility of transforming into a dragon," Ling Ying explained proactively. "At the first rank, it is a fish. At the second rank, it grows four legs. At the third rank, it grows a tail. At the fourth rank, it grows horns. At the fifth rank, wings sprout from its back. At the sixth rank, it transforms into a flood dragon. Once it reaches the peak, it can undergo a tribulation and transform into a dragon, becoming a seventh-rank magical beast—the Primordial Mirage Dragon."

"This is the Mirage Fish Flood Dragon's remains. Judging by the circumstances, it should have failed its tribulation and perished in this lake."

"The abnormal illusion mist should be related to something within its body."

Ling Ying walked to the Mirage Fish Flood Dragon's head and pried open its mouth, revealing a bead that radiated blue light.

"This is a Mirage Fish Flood Dragon Pearl. It was not destroyed by the lightning tribulation and already possesses a trace of the power of a seventh-rank Primordial Mirage Dragon Pearl."

Seventh-rank magical beasts were equivalent to human Dou Zong experts. The value of this quasi-seventh-rank Mirage Fish Flood Dragon Pearl went without saying; even Dou Zong experts would be tempted by it, and Ling Ying was no exception.

But he came from the Ancient Clan and was Xun Er's servant. Loyalty was carved into his bones.

The moment he obtained the pearl, he handed it to Zhang Yuan.

"A Mirage Fish Flood Dragon Pearl?"

Zhang Yuan reached out and accepted the pearl.

The next moment, he sensed the Three Dragon Thunder Gang Fire stirring, while the Thunder God Visualization Diagram also tugged at his Spiritual Sense.

"Desire... you want to devour the Dragon Qi within it?"

Zhang Yuan received the message conveyed by the Three Dragon Thunder Gang Fire.

The Three Dragon Thunder Gang Fire had been completely refined by him, and its strength was entirely based on his own cultivation. Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire was not the limit of his Heavenly Flame.

For the Three Dragon Thunder Gang Fire to evolve into Four Dragon Thunder Gang Fire, he first had to become a Dou Ling. The energy within the Mirage Fish Flood Dragon Pearl could help him take that step and also help the Three Dragon Thunder Gang Fire complete its evolution.

"This opportunity for a breakthrough cannot be missed."

Zhang Yuan put away the Mirage Fish Flood Dragon Pearl and said to Ling Ying, "I've decided to break through here. I'll have to trouble Elder Ling to stand guard."

Naturally, Ling Ying did not refuse.

However, Zhang Yuan did not act immediately. Instead, he first went to a cave to find Qing Yanjing and brought her to the small island at the center of the lake.

"I'm about to make a breakthrough. It may take a day if things go quickly, or three to five days if they do not."

Zhang Yuan clearly explained the situation to Qing Yanjing, and she obediently agreed.

Afterward, Zhang Yuan held the Mirage Fish Flood Dragon Pearl and entered the pool before him.

According to Ling Ying, the water in this pool was also a fourth-rank heavenly treasure, the Pure Origin Dragon Spring, which would be able to lend him a hand.

"Hmm?"

As he entered a cultivation state, Zhang Yuan's mind suddenly became clear.

A profound incantation emerged from the Thunder God Visualization Diagram, causing him to open his eyes.

"Looks like I won't be staying here for only a short time!"
