Chapter 5136 White Dragon’s Crisis, Ambush

Countless experts gathered in front of the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone, representing a diverse array of races: humans, devils, Blood race, demons, and many others.

Among the crowd, Long Chen’s gaze was immediately drawn to Lu Fan, who stood conspicuously at the front. Clearly, he was the focal point of attention, with everyone listening to him intently.

Behind Lu Fan, Long Chen spotted Netherdragon Wushang, Luo Yujiao[1], Qin Keqing[2], Huang Wudao[3], and others. There were also dozens of unfamiliar faces among them—likely experts on par with Netherdragon Wushang and the others.

Other than them, Long Chen also saw Huo Qianwu[4] standing behind this group. Clearly, she wasn’t qualified to stand beside them. Behind Huo Qianwu were millions of experts, and they were all Heavenly Chosens.

Long Chen arrived silently, unnoticed by the millions of people gathered around the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone. Their focus was entirely on the crystal.

Beneath the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone lay a giant altar, with the crystal hovering above its center. Long Chen’s heart sank when he saw Bai Yingxue and the others sealed on top of the altar. Not only were the disciples of the white dragon race there, but Hu Xiaoyu and Feng You were among them as well. All of them were pale and struggling against the altar’s power, forming hand seals in a desperate attempt to resist it.

In front of the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone, Lu Fan stared at Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu with a sinister expression. He said, “Brother Tianfan, it’s thanks to you that we caught these two fish. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known how important they were to Long Chen.”

“Our Chess Sect has been keeping a close watch on him from the beginning. None of his movements have escaped our notice. Long Chen is incredibly brazen. He has blasphemed the gods time and time again, truly deserving ten thousand deaths. These two women are closely related to him, so I had Qifeng capture them. Now, everyone connected to Long Chen is here,” said the man Lu Fan referred to as brother Tianfan.

This man had shoulder-length hair and wore a bamboo hat that blocked his face. He was from one of the four immemorial sects, the Chess Sect, and was known as Li Tianfan, the leader of their junior generation. As a sealed immemorial heavenly genius, he had been awakened in this era and was said to have an extremely high chance of becoming the next sect master.

As a result, even a son of Brahma didn’t dare to look down on him, so Lu Fan called him brother Tianfan.

“Hehe, it’s thanks to senior apprentice-brother Tianfan’s divine strategy and foresight. You predicted they wouldn’t take the Brahma Path or Daynight Bridge but instead follow the unorthodox blood rune path. With our trap set, capturing them was effortless,” said a man with a golden mask from the ranks of the Chess Sect.

This was the man Li Tianfan had referred to as Qifeng. As soon as he spoke, Long Chen’s teeth clenched. Qifeng was the one who had leaked information about the Lifehunter race’s movements, prompting Long Chen to launch a sneak attack against them.

Back then, Long Chen already sensed something off about Qifeng, but due to the accuracy of the information provided, he mistakenly believed Qifeng to be an enemy of the Lifehunter race seeking to use him as a tool.

In any case, Long Chen did feel some gratitude toward this Qifeng. After all, from the Lifehunter race, Long Chen had gained some new information on the violet blood race. But unexpectedly, the Chess Sect had just been using him and even used this chance to grasp his true power. Even the matter of Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu was unable to escape their notice. Thinking of how he had been played by them, Long Chen seethed with rage.

Lu Fan’s sinister smile widened as he glared at the people on the altar. He declared, “Long Chen, you murderous bastard, you blasphemed the great Divine Venerate Brahma! Today, I will blood sacrifice all of your friends!”

“Why haven’t you started yet? What are you waiting for?” Just then, an icy voice rang out.

Long Chen’s heart shook as he looked toward the source of that voice. He didn’t dare to believe this person was really here.

Yan Hong!

This person was Yan Xu’s son, Yan Hong, whom Long Chen had killed before. During the Dragonblood Legion’s clash with the Celestial race, Long Chen had been forced into a peculiar flame space. He then discovered the Yan Xu Divine Lotus there and found the reborn Yan Hong parasitizing it.

“Wait, not good!” exclaimed Huo Linger suddenly.

“What is it?” asked Long Chen.

“In the Yan Xu Divine Lotus[5], I planted some of my power inside his body, but now, I can’t sense it at all! He must have noticed and taken out my parasite!” explained Huo Linger.

“It’s fine. This is within my expectations,” said Long Chen. The Earth Cauldron had already indicated that the chances of success were slim, so he hadn’t placed too much hope on it.

What troubled Long Chen more was the situation unfolding before him. His primary goal was to uncover the Brahma Pill Valley’s plans and figure out how to rescue Bai Yingxue and the others.

Facing Yan Hong’s icy demand, Lu Fan responded with equal coldness, “To unleash the full power of the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone, we need sacred energy. The altar is extracting their sacred energy, and once the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone absorbs enough, it will naturally activate. What are you in a rush for? If you want it to go faster, activate it yourself.”

Clearly displeased with Yan Hong’s attitude, Lu Fan showed no restraint. Yan Hong’s anger flared at the response, and black flames erupted around him. His manifestation appeared behind him—a massive black lotus that loomed ominously.

“Don’t think that just because you are a son of Brahma you can do whatever you want. I am the son of the great Yan Xu. Show me some respect when you talk to me!” shouted Yan Hong.

The surrounding people jumped in fright when Yan Hong summoned his manifestation. The black lotus resembled a black devil opening its gaping maw, ready to devour all entities within heaven and earth. The sight sent chills through the onlookers, their souls freezing at the sheer presence of the manifestation.

“So what if you’re one of Yan Xu’s sons?” Lu Fan sneered. “You only survived because of luck after Long Chen destroyed your body. How dare someone like you act arrogant in front of me!?”

Yan Hong’s eyes burned with fury. “You are courting death!” he roared.

He raised his hand, and a spear enveloped in black flames materialized, pointed menacingly at Lu Fan.
