533 The Black Dragon’s Surrender
Lin Qiye’s heart trembled.
The crystal core was the core that carried the energy of a Supreme Being. Even the combined power of a hundred Celestials would not be able to shake it.
However, such a treasure was in a damaged state. It was easy to imagine how terrifying the Great War had been.
“I can see that there’s a strong seal inside this thing. Did you set up that seal?”
Lin Qiye held the pearl in one hand and stared at the Black Dragon.
The Black Dragon shook his head.
“No, that’s not a seal. It’s an inscription that protects the remaining energy inside the Supreme Pearl.”
“Oh? Can you remove it?”
Although the inscription inside the black pearl was not a seal, it prevented the energy inside from leaking out. Lin Qiye could not absorb it even if he held it.
“Those inscriptions should have been made by a Celestial. I can’t break them.”
The Black Dragon shook his head again and added, “However, I do know of a special method that can temporarily open a gap in that inscription and release energy.”
Lin Qiye’s heart stirred. “What method?”
The Black Dragon took a step forward. Just as he was about to ask Lin Qiye to hand the item over, he realized it was inappropriate.
He quickly stepped back and said, “It’s also a type of inscription, but it is a bit special. I’ll show it to you, and you should be able to understand.”
The Black Dragon’s movements were as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water, and he carved a golden inscription in the air.
Lin Qiye tried to copy it onto the runes inside the black pearl.
Instantly, it was as if a hole had been chiseled through the protective inscriptions as solid as a wall. A stream of pure energy spurted out, immediately causing the spiritual energy density within a radius of several dozen meters to reach a thousand times higher than normal!
“F*ck!”
Lin Qiye was shocked. He quickly erased the runes he had carved to stop the energy from pouring out.
“The energy that leaked out just now is enough for an ordinary person to reach the Golden Core Realm!”
The Black Dragon was drooling as he watched from the side. He swallowed and turned to Lin Qiye.
“How is it? My gift is not bad, right?”
Lin Qiye nodded.
“That’s right. Since you’re sincere, we’ll write off the previous matter. You can go.”
Leave?
The Black Dragon was a little confused.
That’s not right. He didn’t come here just to resolve his grudge against Lin Qiye. He also wanted Lin Qiye’s protection!
“Um, Holy Infant Temple Master, I’m here to seek refuge with you. Please give me a chance. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely follow your instructions. I also have a lot of information that will definitely be useful to you!” The Black Dragon said as he waved his arms, wanting to show off his value.
Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow when he saw the Black Dragon acting much more humble than when they first met. He immediately realized that the Black Dragon really wanted to join them.
To be able to obtain an Immortal Level expert so easily, there was no reason to refuse.
However, Lin Qiye continued to hold it and showed an unhappy expression.
“Alright. Seeing that you’re the descendant of that senior, I’ll reluctantly accept you. But I’ll say this first. If you dare to go against me, don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”
“Of course!”
Seeing Lin Qiye agree, the Black Dragon was overjoyed and repeatedly nodded in agreement.
“You said you have a lot of information. Tell me, what is it about?”
Lin Qiye wasn’t worried about the Black Dragon’s betrayal. After all, he would soon complete the integration of his physical body.
By then, his strength would skyrocket, and a mere Black Dragon would not be able to cause any trouble under his nose.
In comparison, he was more concerned about the information the Black Dragon had mentioned.
The Black Dragon had been in this area for many years and had a strong foundation. His methods of gathering information were far from what a newbie like him could compare to.
“Sir, you may not be interested in other information, but what I want to say is related to the upcoming disaster.”
The Black Dragon quickly adjusted his attitude and placed Lin Qiye in the top position.
“Continue.”
At the mention of the word ‘calamity,’ Lin Qiye immediately thought of demons.
“I’ve awakened some of my inherited memories and learned a lot about this disaster, which is the information about those demons…”
The Black Dragon explained.
From his explanation, Lin Qiye quickly understood the origins of the demons in this world and some information about the Heavenly God Palace, which had defeated the demon army.
The demons that invaded this world were led by a hybrid monster.
Most of them had multiple heads and were powerful. The more heads they had, the stronger they were.
Moreover, each individual was infectious. Upon direct contact with them, not only would one’s physical body be corroded, even one’s soul would not escape the fate of being infected.
Since ancient times, after the top experts of the various clans had either fallen or disappeared, the number of Celestials left was several times more than the demon clan.
Even so, they had to pay a heavy price to defeat the demon clan, forcing them to hide until now.
As for the Heavenly God Palace, which was established to fight against the demons…
Because there was an expert who foresaw the day when the demons would counterattack, the organization had never been disbanded.
Furthermore, over the long years, it had been continuously absorbing talents from various races to strengthen its strength.
As of now, no one knew how many powerhouses had gathered in the Heavenly God Palace.
“Sir, although you’re a member of the Heavenly God Palace, the information I have is not something everyone in your organization knows.”
