Chapter 353 Dragon Ball Appears
Chapter 353 Dragon Ball Appears
In today's Mirage City, Chen Runyu and Tang Ruoling are both diligently cultivating, unaware of the changes.
However, the dormant spirit of the Dragon Pearl has awakened again, urgently awakening Chen Runyu from her cultivation state.
"Something is not right. Both of you may be in great danger."
"What?"
Chen Runyu looked confused, and only when she realized what the spirit of the Dragon Pearl had said did she angrily say, "Are you deliberately causing trouble for people?"
She had been fine outside, just a little jealous, and at most, she was just competing with Tang Ruoling for their senior brother.
As a result, this idiot took her complaints as a wish and brought her and Tang Ruoling to the Secret Realm. They couldn't leave without breaking through the Divine Ability.
Being imprisoned forcibly was one thing, but at least there was a way out.
Just as she and Tang Ruoling both reached the Divine Soul realm, a great disaster befell them.
"Didn't you say that the Mirage Secret Realm is absolutely safe and that only I can control it?"
The spirit of the Dragon Pearl was a bit embarrassed when questioned like this.
"Under normal circumstances, that's correct. But I've also told you before, the Dragon Pearl belongs to the Mirage Dragon, so it has an inseparable connection with the place where the Mirage Dragon fell."
Feeling the changes in the outside world, the spirit of the Dragon Pearl helplessly said, "Someone has taken advantage of this and destroyed the spiritual veins of the place where the Mirage Dragon fell, causing a large amount of spiritual energy contaminated with the Mirage Dragon's aura to be released. Through this, they forcibly sensed the existence of the Dragon Pearl.
Before long, the anchor point of the Dragon Pearl in this world will be found, and at that time, this Secret Realm will no longer be safe."
The spirit of the Dragon Pearl didn't mention this before because it didn't expect someone to do such an exaggerated thing.
Destroying the spiritual veins of a place was a terrible calamity, and who could bear the consequences of such cause and effect?
It could be said that even if one obtained the Dragon Pearl, it couldn't offset the karmic consequences of destroying the spiritual veins.
This was definitely a losing deal.
However, the spirit of the Dragon Pearl didn't know how cunning Daoist Xin was.
Destroying the spiritual veins was indeed a great sin and would receive retribution, but Long Yi argued that he didn't destroy the spiritual veins, so how could he be blamed?
He only set up some small formations inside the spiritual veins, which were harmless to the spiritual veins and only borrowed a little bit of their power.
Even if there was retribution, it wouldn't fall on him.
"Given the current situation, being found is only a matter of time, but there is still a glimmer of hope."
If there was no hope, the spirit of the Dragon Pearl wouldn't have awakened.
"Where is the hope?"
"There."
When the Mirage City projection appeared above the Coiling Dragon River, the Mirage City could also see the outside world.
Of course, this was limited to the spirit of the Dragon Pearl.
Chen Runyu currently didn't have the ability to fully control the Dragon Pearl, so she could only rely on the spirit of the Dragon Pearl.
The spirit of the Dragon Pearl projected the image of Zhang Chi's location, and it could be seen that Zhang Chi was in a peripheral position.
"I can change the anchor point and appear next to him. As long as he escapes the boundaries of the Coiling Dragon River with the Dragon Pearl, the lock of the Mirage Dragon's spiritual energy will be lifted.
But as a price, this Secret Realm will no longer accelerate cultivation."
"No!"
Chen Runyu immediately rejected the proposal of the spirit of the Dragon Pearl.
"When there were benefits, why didn't you think about my senior brother? Now that there's a problem, you want to harm him.
How strong must someone be to dare to destroy the spiritual veins and forcibly search for the Dragon Pearl? My senior brother is just at the Foundation Building stage. How can he withstand such a big matter?"
Chen Runyu glared at the spirit of the Dragon Pearl angrily. If it weren't for the fact that the spirit of the Dragon Pearl didn't have a physical form, she would have wanted to beat it up.
"What do you want to do then? Just wait to die?"
"I'll hand over the Dragon Ball. Worst case scenario, I'll die. By the way, do you still have the power to send Tang Ruoling away? She's been burdened because of me."
The Spirit of the Dragon Ball: "..."
It had chosen her as its master in the first place because it valued Chen Runyu's kindness.
The Dragon Ball can only be kept safe in the hands of pure and kind-hearted individuals.
However, the current situation proves that its choice was wrong.
If Zhang Chi had been chosen, perhaps he would have already escaped.
Chen Runyu didn't want to put Zhang Chi in danger, and the Spirit of the Dragon Ball couldn't do anything about it.
"Well then, I'll use my last bit of power to send the two of you away. The person who forcefully obtained me must be extremely evil. If the Dragon Ball falls into his hands, it will likely cause a catastrophic event."
The Spirit of the Dragon Ball had already foreseen a dark future. The catastrophe was inevitable. Its abilities were limited and it couldn't prevent a strong individual from harnessing its power.
After all, it was just a spirit of an artifact.
Since it was an artifact, how could it be a match for a person?
Sending Tang Ruoling and Chen Runyu away was its last bit of power.
Upon hearing this, Chen Runyu couldn't help but feel guilty for her previous harsh words to the Spirit of the Dragon Ball. Although the Dragon Ball was a bit tricky, it was just a spirit of an artifact, inherently kind-hearted but a bit foolish.
Seeing the Spirit of the Dragon Ball in such a desperate state, Chen Runyu felt sorry for it.
"Why don't you send Tang Ruoling away and I'll stay behind to help you escape?"
"Don't waste your efforts. With your strength, it's impossible."
The Spirit of the Dragon Ball could sense the terror outside. Chen Runyu ultimately didn't grow stronger, even though she had tried her best. Without entering the Divine Ability Realm, she couldn't use the power of the Dragon Ball.
Otherwise, she could use the Mirage Dragon Illusion to maneuver, even if the opponent was a stronger individual. It wouldn't be a certain death.
But now, if Chen Runyu went out, she would only be beaten.
"There's no need to say anymore. I can't hold on for much longer. Remember, I'll send you to the outermost periphery, and then you just need to keep moving forward. Absolutely do not turn back. Especially you, you were once the master of the Dragon Ball and controlled the complete inheritance of the Dragon Race. People outside will most likely target you. You must grow stronger. Perhaps only you can prevent the future catastrophe."
Chen Runyu: "..."
She was so young, how did she end up with such a heavy burden?
Her heart wailed, but in this situation, she couldn't refuse.
"I will do my best."
With Chen Runyu's promise, the Spirit of the Dragon Ball was also happy.
Throughout this process, Tang Ruoling didn't interrupt. She knew time was running out, so it was better to obediently listen.
After Chen Runyu agreed, the Spirit of the Dragon Ball also used a secret technique to send Chen Runyu and Tang Ruoling away.
The restless Dragon Spirit Qi outside also gave it the power to perform the technique.
This was the last thing it could do.
After sending them away, the Dragon Ball no longer concealed its presence and began to absorb the restless spiritual energy from the outside world.
On one hand, it was to resolve the crisis in the real world, and on the other hand, it was to accumulate power for self-destruction.
The people who survived in the place where the Mirage Dragon fell were protected by the Mirage Dragon, so they naturally received the Dragon Ball's protection.
Although the Dragon Ball itself was in danger, it still wanted to do something for the people of this world.
As it began to absorb the spiritual energy, the projection of the outside world also changed. The Mirage Tower City illusion seemed to become real, no longer a manifestation in the clouds and mist. A round and smooth pearl hung above the projection, appearing both real and illusory.
At this moment, Long Yi couldn't help but smile.
The most important piece of his plan had been completed... (End of this chapter)
