Chapter 794

Extracting the Dragon Soul

Late at night, the Imperial City was heavily guarded. Teams of armored soldiers guarded the various checkpoints and important points of the Imperial City.

A figure slowly descended at the gate. Immediately, the soldiers on both sides of the gate stopped him and shouted, "Who are you?

The Imperial City is not open to outsiders at night. "

"I am Lü Hantian from Muqin County. I have something important to discuss with the Azure Emperor. I hope you can report it to him," Lü Hantian said calmly.

"Lü Hantian?

I have never heard of you. You are not a member of the imperial family. Leave now! "The soldier at the gate said coldly.

Lü Hantian narrowed his eyes. Just as he was about to flare up, the sound of horse hooves came from behind him. Then, a clear voice sounded.

"Let him in!"

Lü Hantian turned around and saw a handsome man riding a tall horse. He rode over quickly and stopped beside Lü Hantian.

"Lord Li Jin!

Since Lord Li has said so, you can go in, "the soldier at the gate said respectfully as he bowed.

"Brother Lü!

Follow me in. The Qing Emperor already knew that you would come, "Li Jin said with a smile.

Lü Hantian nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Li!"

Lü Hantian did not hesitate and followed Li Jin into the depths of the Imperial City.

The two of them quickly arrived at the plaza. At the end of the plaza was the Azure Emperor's Throne Room.

At this moment, the Throne Room was pitch black. It was as silent as a giant dragon.

"Brother Lü!

I can only send you here. The Azure Emperor is in the Throne Room. You just need to enter the Throne Room. "

After Li Jin finished speaking, he pulled on the reins and turned the horse around to leave the square.

Lü Hantian's eyes flashed. The Azure Emperor's arrangement meant that he already knew that Lü Hantian would come to the Imperial City to look for him. Therefore, Lü Hantian did not hesitate and walked directly to the Throne Room.

There was not a single speck of light in the square or the throne room. Everything was plunged into darkness, and a deathly silence pervaded the surroundings.

Stepping into the hall, Lü Hantian discovered that it was even darker than the outside. It was so dark that he couldn't tell which direction he was going. Fortunately, his cultivation base was high. In this kind of pitch-black environment, he could rely on his senses to walk deeper into the hall.

As he went deeper, the originally pitch-black environment gradually brightened. Finally, Zhuowen arrived at the center of the hall, where it was as bright as day.

At the same time, a tall and straight figure stood there quietly with his back facing Lü Hantian like a statue.

"Your Majesty Qing Di!

I heard that Zhuowen was taken away by you. May I know where Zhuowen is now? "Lü Hantian's gaze focused on the figure in front of him and he suddenly asked.

Slowly turning around, the Qing Emperor calmly stared at Lü Hantian. With a wave of his sleeve, a green light shot out and appeared in front of him.

Within this green light was a person. Upon closer inspection, it was Zhuowen, who had been taken away by the Qing Emperor.

Lü Hantian was shocked. He took a step forward and his gaze landed on Zhuowen's body within the green light. Especially when he saw the terrifying wound on Zhuowen's back, his expression turned extremely ugly.

Just as Mother Xu had said, Zhuowen's back had indeed been cruelly dug out. With such a terrifying injury, Zhuowen was definitely dead.

However, Lü Hantian was shocked to discover that Zhuowen was still breathing. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty Qing Di, Zhuowen is not dead yet. Can you save him?"

"His heart is damaged. The chances of saving him are too low!

This Emperor is relying on my own strength to forcefully prolong Zhuowen's life. Even so, Zhuowen won't last three days, "the Qing Emperor shook his head and said indifferently.

"Is there no other way?" Lü Hantian asked with a frown as he clenched his fists.

The Qing Emperor's eyes flickered. Suddenly, he said, "There might be a way!"

Lü Hantian's eyes revealed a look of ecstasy. He hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty Qing Emperor, what other way is there?"

"Follow me!"

The Qing Emperor waved his sleeves and led Zhuowen, who was within the green light, to the deepest part of the hall. Although Lü Hantian was filled with doubts, he still followed closely behind the Qing Emperor.

The two of them soon arrived at the room where the Azure Supreme Thearch had bestowed enlightenment on the ten geniuses. This room was very spacious, and there was an open-air space in the middle of the room. There was a huge dragon-shaped illusory image circling above, looking very majestic.

Below the dragon-shaped image was an altar that was half the height of a person. When they arrived before the altar, the Qing Emperor suddenly said, "There is a dragon vein below the altar. There is a dense dragon vein aura inside.

"Zhuowen has a dragon soul in his body. If we can open this dragon vein and guide the dragon vein aura into Zhuowen's body, perhaps Zhuowen will be able to recover.

"Right now, I have to prolong Zhuowen's life at all times. It is not possible to open this dragon vein!

Hence, I need you to help me open the altar this time. After that, I will guide the dragon vein aura inside. "

At this point, the Qing Emperor looked at Lü Hantian and said, "This is the only chance to save Zhuowen."

Lü Hantian's eyes flickered. He knew that there was a dragon vein in the imperial city, but he did not expect that the one controlling it was actually this unremarkable altar before him.

However, what surprised Lü Hantian was that the Qing Emperor had actually revealed such an important place to him. Was the Qing Emperor not afraid that he, Lü Hantian, would leak it?

"If you are unwilling, I will not force you." The Qing Emperor's eyes were calm, and there was not the slightest change in them.

Lü Hantian gritted his teeth and said, "If I can save Zhuowen, what's wrong with opening the altar?"

As he spoke, Lü Hantian stepped forward and arrived at the altar in an instant. He looked at the Qing Emperor and asked, "What do I need to do?"

"It's very simple. You just need to place your hand on the floating crystal on the altar and channel the origin energy in your body into it!

However, this will require an extremely large amount of origin energy to support it. When the time comes, you must be mentally prepared! "The Qing Emperor said calmly.

"No problem!

Since that is the case, let's begin. "

Lü Hantian did not hesitate any longer. He activated the origin energy in his body and channeled it into the crystal in his hand. Instantly, the crystal in his hand emitted a terrifying and dazzling light.

The light was extremely dazzling. Finally, it turned into a pillar of light that shot up into the sky and surged into the dragon-shaped shadow in the sky.

The dragon-shaped shadow roared and swooped down. Its dragon claws, which were as large as hills, crushed downward. Instantly, a huge black hole appeared in the center of the hall not far from the altar.

This black hole was bottomless. It was like an abyss. A resounding dragon roar resounded. Following which, waves of dazzling Dragon Vein Energy gushed out from the black hole.

Looking at the Dragon Vein Energy that was gushing out continuously, the Qing Emperor's eyes revealed a trace of joy. His right hand formed a claw, and the Dragon Vein Energy that was gushing out immediately followed his guidance and circled around him.

"Your Majesty Qing Di, you can start saving Zhuowen now!"

On the altar, Lü Hantian was panting and his face was pale. The altar had absorbed a large amount of origin energy from his body, causing him to be extremely weak.

"Of course!"

The Qing Emperor revealed a sinister smile. His right hand formed a sword and pointed at Zhuowen's forehead. Under the guidance of the Qing Emperor, strands of Dragon Vein Energy gushed into Zhuowen's forehead.

Seeing that the Qing Emperor had indeed made a move to save Xiao Chen, Lü Hantian heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave the altar, he realized that a four-sided barrier had appeared around the altar unknowingly, preventing him from leaving.

Lü Hantian slammed his right hand on the barrier. There was a muffled sound as he took a few steps back. He looked at the barrier in front of him gloomily. His attack actually did not cause any damage to the barrier at all.

"Your Majesty!

What is the meaning of this? "

Lü Hantian's eyes were gloomy as he stared at the Qing Emperor in front of him. His voice was cold.

"Nothing.

This is just to prevent you from interfering with my work! "

The Qing Emperor pressed his right hand on Zhuowen's forehead. Strands of Dragon Vein Energy entered Zhuowen's forehead, causing the veins on Zhuowen's forehead to bulge. His face revealed a pained expression.

"What did you do to Zhuowen?"

Lü Hantian's expression changed when he saw the expression on Zhuowen's face.

"Haha!

Lü Hantian, are you really so naive to think that the Dragon Vein Energy can save Zhuowen's life?

Let me tell you the truth. The Dragon Vein Energy can extract the dragon soul in Zhuowen's body. If I can obtain Zhuowen's dragon soul, I will have a chance of improving my cultivation. "

The Qing Emperor suddenly laughed out loud. His originally calm eyes were now filled with fervor. Qing Yan had said that the dragon soul in Zhuowen's body was at least Grade 2. If he could obtain such a high-grade dragon soul, it would be extremely beneficial to the Qing Emperor.

"Bastard!

Have you never thought of saving Zhuowen's life from the beginning? "Lü Hantian shouted angrily.

The Qing Emperor shook his head and said indifferently, "I'm just making the best use of it!

Zhuowen's identity as a descendant of the Ryūka family has been exposed. He will definitely be wanted by the Blue Dragon Hall in the future.

"Moreover, his heart has been dug out. If I hadn't used my own strength to protect his heart, he would have died long ago!

Since he is going to die anyway, it's worth it to contribute the dragon soul! "The Qing Emperor's smile widened.

Lü Hantian was enraged. He repeatedly hammered the walls. Unfortunately, the walls in front of him were too sturdy. He couldn't break through the walls at all. He could only watch as the Qing Emperor separated the dragon soul from Zhuowen's body.

The Qing Emperor no longer cared about the furious Lü Hantian. He had specially set up the four walls for Lü Hantian. Even if the Lü Hantian was at his peak, it would be difficult for him to break through the walls, let alone the Lü Hantian who had exhausted most of his origin energy.

"What a strong soul power. The dragon soul in Zhuowen's body is not simple!"

With the help of the Dragon Vein Energy, the Qing Emperor easily detected the dragon soul hidden in the depths of Zhuowen's mind!

Roar!

A clear dragon's roar suddenly rang out. Following which, the Qing Emperor's right hand jerked violently. An extremely strange ink-black light shot out from between Zhuowen's eyebrows.

The dense ink-black light shot up into the sky and turned into a thick ink-black fog. Following which, the fog suddenly exploded. A huge black dragon that was thousands of feet long swept out from the fog.

Its teeth were cold, and its black scales were like a forest. On the huge dragon's spine, three pairs of black dragon wings were spread out. It rode the wind and stood upright.
