Boom— At that moment, a tremendous explosion suddenly rang out from the deepest part of the space. Then, every magical beast within the Dragon Cave Ancient Ruins witnessed a shocking sight: a beam of black light shot into the sky, blotting out the heavens and the sun as though it could devour all the light within the ruins, plunging the entire space into darkness. Only after a long while did the soaring black light vanish, and brightness return.

"What is that?!" Seeing the black light that covered the sky, all the magical beasts exploring the Dragon Cave were stunned. The scene was simply too astonishing. Without question, some sort of upheaval was taking place!

"Could it be that some legendary cultivation technique or medicinal pill is about to emerge?" Some magical beasts who had heard the rumors could not help but stir at the sight.

After all, they had previously heard that the Nine Nether Deep Earth Python Clan had discovered this place and taken away something extremely precious. No one knew who had spread the rumor that this was the tomb of an alchemist, containing a high Grade Seven pill or even one close to Grade Eight, drawing countless magical beasts here in search of this pill-related opportunity.

For a time, rumors that an ancient medicinal pill was about to emerge spread like wildfire. Countless magical beasts believed this was an ancient alchemist's tomb, that the alchemist's burial pill was about to appear, and that an alchemist's treasure was about to be unearthed.

At that moment, some fire-attributed magical beasts cultivating at the outskirts of the Heavenly Flame Space by relying on the residual power of the Heavenly Flames noticed something strange. "Huh? How odd. Why does it feel like the temperature in this Heavenly Flame Space is dropping?"

"Could the emergence of the ancient medicinal pill be causing this Heavenly Flame Space to collapse?"

"Who knows? Those guys from the Nine Nether Deep Earth Python Clan took away the Heavenly Flames last time. This Heavenly Flame Space could not have lasted much longer anyway."

Just then, a thunderous boom suddenly sounded from the depths of the Heavenly Flame Space formed by the Black-Yellow Flame. In an instant, a spatial storm swept through the area. The remaining Heavenly Flame energy within the space merged with the storm, erupting into endless fiery cyclones. When the flames burst forth, even from over thirty meters away, one could still feel the searing heat waves.

"Fuck!" A somewhat shrill cry came from within the space, followed by a huge black shadow that was pushed out by the flames amid the collapsing space.

With a thud, Zhu Jin was caught off guard and rolled three and a half times through the air before finally crashing face-first into the ground and landing in utter embarrassment.

The magical beasts outside the Heavenly Flame Space froze at the sight. Countless gazes turned toward Zhu Jin, whose dragon head was buried in the dirt while half his body stuck out. They looked from one another, utterly unable to make sense of what had happened.

"L-Lord Dragon King!" Xie Dong had sharp eyes. Recognizing Zhu Jin from his round, firm dragon butt, he hurriedly dug away the dirt and pulled him out!

Seeing Xie Dong, Zhu Jin patted the dirt off himself and asked with feigned composure, "Xie Dong, why are you here?"

Xie Dong replied, "The ruins underwent an upheaval three days ago, so I took advantage of the chaos to enter."

Three days had already passed? The sense of time among long-lived species really was nothing like it had been for humans.

By Zhu Jin's own sense of time, he had merely eaten a meal and meditated while reading three bloodline combat techniques. Yet three days had passed!

However, while Zhu Jin and Xie Dong were speaking, more and more magical beasts arrived at the Heavenly Flame Space after hearing the news. They were even beginning to form an encirclement around the two of them.

Ever since the flames in the Heavenly Flame Space had extinguished and the high temperature faded, more and more magical beasts had come seeking opportunities. Though the most valuable Heavenly Flames were gone, some accompanying treasures were still immense opportunities for low-level magical beasts, enough to provoke countless beasts into fighting over them.

"Opportunity!" At that moment, someone among the magical beasts shouted. The beasts pressing forward all turned red-eyed. Some flew into the air, while others blocked the retreat routes and exits.

Faced with the various magical beasts surrounding him, Zhu Jin snorted coldly. Immediately, the might of the Dragon Clan crashed outward like a colossal wave. With a bang, some magical beasts standing too close were sent flying on the spot, directly hurled to the ground.

After absorbing the Heavenly Flame energy, Zhu Jin had not only evolved his dragon flame, but had also improved his cultivation somewhat. Moreover, this was inside the Heavenly Flame Space. These Tier Three and Tier Four magical beasts were simply no match for him.

The overwhelming dragon might instantly changed the expressions of many magical beasts charging forward. Yet their greed for the opportunity kept them from giving up, and they continued to surround Zhu Jin and Xie Dong from afar in layer after layer.

"Heavenly Flame opportunity!" Magical beasts continued rushing in through the entrance. When they saw the Heavenly Flame Space collapsing and the void passage disappearing, they were deeply shaken. No matter which magical beast tribe they belonged to, their eyes turned red with envy, their mouths watering with greed.

Under normal circumstances, this meant someone had taken away the opportunity, which was why the space had collapsed.

At that moment, azure light flashed. Mu Qinghuang, the Green Phoenix prince, rushed in through the entrance with a group of powerful experts. Then, a chilling blood aura surged like a rainbow as several experts who were clearly from the Nine Nether Deep Earth Python Clan also charged in through the entrance.

"Little dragon, hand over the opportunity, and my Green Phoenix Clan can grant you friendship and honor." Mu Qinghuang, surrounded by azure radiance, glanced at Zhu Jin. His gaze swept across the entire Heavenly Flame Space, then his eyes chilled as his soul power locked onto Zhu Jin.

"Hmph. Green Phoenix Clan, this is an opportunity site discovered by my Nine Nether Deep Earth Python Clan. The things here naturally belong to our clan. Since when was it your place to decide?" A massive python wearing a crown snorted coldly.

Mu Qinghuang frowned upon seeing who had spoken, and his tone became somewhat gentler. "Yaoyun Snake Emperor, your snake clan's bloodline is cold and yin in nature. The opportunity here is unsuitable for you."

The Snake Emperor called Yao Yun did not yield. "Whether it is useful or not depends on what it is."

A concealed glint of coldness surfaced in Mu Qinghuang's eyes. "Then we shall each rely on our own abilities."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Yun and Mu Qinghuang both turned their gazes toward Zhu Jin. The meaning in their eyes needed no words.

Seeing so many people surrounding him, Zhu Jin narrowed his Golden Eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing through them. He knew he could not deceive the eyes of these powerful magical beast clans. The Heavenly Flame Space had not collapsed because Zhu Jin had absorbed all the Heavenly Flame energy, nor because the Black-Yellow Flame had been taken away. Rather, after evolving his dragon flame, Zhu Jin had "luckily" discovered an object within the space. Only after he took that object from the void did the space built by an Ancient Void Dragon expert collapse.

In other words, Mu Qinghuang and the others were not wrong. Zhu Jin truly had obtained an opportunity.

"What? Does everyone want this opportunity?" Zhu Jin looked at everyone and spoke in a low voice.

At that moment, Mu Qinghuang was the first to step forward. His gaze, which seemed capable of piercing through everything, fixed on Zhu Jin as his voice rang out. "Little dragon, hand over the item, and you may leave." He stared at Zhu Jin, unable to understand why the little dragon before him seemed somewhat familiar.
