Reunion with the Mist Dragon

With everything understood, Luo Yun decisively turned and flew away. The Black Flame King had completely lost its will to fight. Even if a Veteran Fire Dragon were willing to follow it to the Dragon Crystal Land, it was destined to fail.

In the Dragon Crystal Land, where life energy was incredibly abundant, even Ancient Dragons that could actively absorb life energy couldn't guarantee they could break the limit of their lifespan. However, every Ancient Dragon that broke through the lifespan limit possessed a heart that embraced death and sought life, and they gained powerful strength that surpassed their original limits, earning them the title of Veteran King.

Without even this kind of mindset, a special Male Fire Dragon, which wasn't even an Ancient Dragon, had no chance of success.

So, in the end, he had to rely on himself.

Passing by the nest, he called into the tree hollow, and Ya Ji flew out, flapping her wings.

Having confirmed his target, Luo Yun flew directly towards the increasingly approaching dense fog area.

Above the dense fog, Luo Yun gazed down. After adjusting his mindset, he actively triggered his Body of Flames.

After calling out to Ya Ji with determination, he spread his wings, unleashed his fire-attribute energy to its fullest, and raised his flame temperature to the maximum.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Ya Ji's eyes, but seeing Luo Yun's decisive actions, her gaze gradually became resolute as well.

Taking a deep breath, Ya Ji's throat turned crimson, and a dense fire-attribute energy accumulated within her throat.

When it reached a certain point, she unleashed a fan-shaped torrent of flames, predominantly orange with faint blue-purple hues around the edges, directly at Luo Yun.

Even enveloped by the flames, Luo Yun could still clearly feel the scorching heat behind him.

Immediately after, a stinging sensation and high temperature struck him simultaneously.

Even with his Body of Flames fully activated and his Fire Attraction trait, he couldn't completely block the damage from the flames.

Although Ya Ji had always displayed her unparalleled brute strength, Luo Yun knew that Ya Ji's power was all-encompassing.

Whether it was her flames or her poison, both possessed a might that matched her brute strength.

It was just that compared to using flames and poison, Ya Ji preferred the feeling of close-quarters combat.

The flames were absorbed by Luo Yun bit by bit. After being converted by his Fire Attraction sac, these flames gradually became Luo Yun's strength.

The color of the flames surrounding him began to change, gradually shifting towards blue-purple.

Luo Yun's overall flames showed a tendency to improve towards the Calamity Flame.

Soon, the absorption of flames reached a bottleneck. Luo Yun let out a sound, and Ya Ji immediately stopped spewing flames. The crimson color in her throat quickly faded, and she looked at Luo Yun within the flames with concern.

Without another word, Luo Yun, who was now filled with fire-attribute energy to the point of near explosion, flew into the dense fog without hesitation.

Under the scorching of his enhanced flames, the high temperature directly evaporated the mist just by getting close. The toxins within even failed to show any color before disappearing in distortion.

As Luo Yun charged into the dense fog, Ya Ji quickly ascended. To quickly determine the Mist Dragon's location, Ya Ji needed to fly to a height where she could observe the overall situation.

Meanwhile, Luo Yun carved a straight line through the dense fog. With the dual enhancement of speed and flames, the areas he passed through were cleared of mist.

From the sky, the mass of fog looked like a cake, cut in half by the elongated flames.

The areas cleared by the flames would be refilled by new mist. Ya Ji in the sky only needed to determine which side of the divided fog was refilled faster, which would indicate the source of the poison mist.

This way, the area Luo Yun needed to investigate was directly halved.

With just a few more passes like this, the Mist Dragon's hiding area could be greatly compressed.

When Luo Yun flew out of the fog area, Ya Ji let out a high-pitched roar to inform Luo Yun of the current situation. Luo Yun adjusted his direction and immediately charged back into the dense fog.

And so, time and time again, in just four passes, Luo Yun pinpointed a sufficiently small area, and the Mist Dragon was within that area.

With a clear target, Luo Yun suppressed his excitement, told himself to remain calm, and cautiously charged into that area.

This was not a densely vegetated area, and the source of the poison mist was located within this region.

Flexibly flapping his wings, Luo Yun swooped through the air. Using his Mind's Eye, he meticulously explored the land below, not missing any unusual information.

Soon, within Luo Yun's perception, a faint, flickering figure was moving slowly and calmly.

Perhaps even the Mist Dragon hadn't expected a dragon to dare to charge into the poison mist to seek its trace.

With this thought, the Mist Dragon's movements appeared calm and leisurely.

Suddenly, the Mist Dragon's coiled tail, which served to collect surrounding information and resembled a cochlea, twitched. Its large eyes instantly locked onto Luo Yun in the distance.

The Mist Dragon's collection and rapid processing of environmental information relied on its coiled tail, which functioned like a cochlea.

With the help of its coiled tail, the Mist Dragon's sensitivity was comparable to Luo Yun's Mind's Eye.

After all, this was an organ that could rapidly process environmental information, allowing the Mist Dragon to perfectly mimic and become invisible at any time!

Only an Ancient Dragon could possess such an unreasonable organ that surpassed common sense.

Since he had been discovered, Luo Yun no longer hid. To be precise, he had never intended to hide his form.

Having confirmed its location, Luo Yun let out a roar. He no longer held back his strength, and the entire dragon transformed into a massive fireball. Charging into the sky, it descended like a falling comet, trailing a long fiery tail, and crashed onto the ground.

The strong winds dispersed the dense fog. After a blinding explosion, a deafening roar was heard first, followed by a shockwave that bent the trees and scattered the clouds in the sky. Finally, the rising pillar of flame appeared.

Feeling the strong winds, Ya Ji in the sky immediately descended, rushing into the smoke and dust despite the high temperature.

She soon found Luo Yun, whose scales were cracked in parts, blood oozing from his mouth, and a hint of madness in his eyes.

Opposite Luo Yun was the Mist Dragon, whose carapace was partially blackened, with blood seeping out. Its camouflage had disappeared, revealing its form, its eyes filled with icy killing intent.

Since its birth, it had never sustained such an injury!

Although it didn't affect its actions, it had only caused its outer skin to rupture and its internal organs to suffer some impact.

But for the Mist Dragon, this was a new experience, one that made it very unhappy and filled it with rage!

It recognized this as the Fire Dragon that had previously struggled in its poisonous mist, accurately located it, and saw through its invisibility.

Even with the much larger Ya Ji appearing, the Mist Dragon's gaze never left Luo Yun.

This was the first time it had an absolute desire to kill the other party.

Mist billowed from the Mist Dragon's mouth, and its form gradually disappeared again. It was going to initiate combat!
