"If you say it's yours, it's yours. Call it and see if it responds."
Jiang Deng crossed his arms and sneered.
The old emperor was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened. "How dare you! How dare you disrespect me!"
Jiang Deng couldn't help laughing. "Ah, Your Majesty, you probably don't know? The rebels have defeated the defenders, your dynasty has been destroyed, and you are no longer an emperor."
“…No, impossible!”
The old emperor hurriedly shook his head. He stared at the divine beast's inner core in mid-air and said frantically, "Once I eat it, I will be able to achieve immortality. I will always be the emperor of the Fenglan Empire!"
After saying this, the old emperor saw that there were only a few steps left.
He quickly reached into his storage bag and took out one gold brick after another, laying them in the blazing Qingyu Strange Fire, then stepped on the gold bricks, gradually approaching the inner elixir.
The gold brick was thrown into the Qingyu strange fire, but it did not melt immediately. Instead, it took a long time before it began to melt.
Seeing this, a look of understanding flashed in Jiang Deng's eyes.
No wonder the old emperor, although a mortal, was able to pass through the Qingyu Strange Fire safely. It turned out that it was because of the gold bricks.
The Qingyu Strange Fire is a rare wood-attributed strange fire. Metal overcomes wood. Although high concentrations of gold cannot extinguish the Qingyu Strange Fire, they can resist the Qingyu Strange Fire for a period of time and melt it.
But...but how much gold will be wasted!
Jiang Deng felt so distressed that he wanted to snatch the storage bag from the old emperor's hand.
While she was lamenting, the old emperor used several more gold bricks. It was unknown how many gold bricks he had wasted before he finally got close to the inner elixir.
The old emperor stood on tiptoe and was about to pick up the inner elixir of the divine beast that was floating in the air when the inner elixir suddenly burst into a dazzling light.
“clang!”
The sound of a phoenix was heard.
A phantom of a blue phoenix soars into the sky!
Just as Feng Qing had said before, the Qingluan looked very much like a peacock. Its green feathers sparkled with a gorgeous luster, and white eye-shaped markings appeared when its wings were spread. Its long tail feathers hung down into the flames, as if merging with them.
It's so beautiful it's unreal...
Qing Luan looked down at the old emperor, his gentle male voice filled with anger, "I have helped you destroy the Duanmu Dynasty and ascend the throne. For this, I even suffered a thunder tribulation and died prematurely. Why do you want to make my death restless?"
"How could I, one of the ancient divine beasts, have an unworthy descendant like you?"
The old emperor was startled, then he slapped his thigh and cried, "Grandfather, it's not that I want to bother you, it's just that my life span is drawing to a close. Only your inner elixir can save my life!"
"Anyway, you are already dead, so there is no point in keeping your inner elixir. Why don't you just be a good bird and lend me your inner elixir?"
Qingluan looked at the greedy descendants in front of her, and the last trace of warmth in her heart finally faded away.
The worst thing it did in this life was that after it became a human, it became obsessed with lust and snatched away the most beautiful woman in the mortal dynasty.
Afterwards, humans and demons combined, and it had a group of half-human, half-demon offspring. Because of the blood ties that could not be severed, it was exploited by its descendants in various ways...
Seven years ago, it could not resist the pleading of its great-great-grandson and helped him overthrow a dynasty and sit on the throne.
But at the same time, because it slaughtered mortals on a large scale, the heavenly tribulation arrived early, and the thunder tribulation was strengthened a hundred times, directly destroying its true body, leaving only this inner elixir and an unwilling remnant soul.
Until today, it finally realized that the affairs of future generations have nothing to do with it, a dead bird. It is better not to stay in this broken world!
"It's up to you, ah..."
Leaving behind a sigh, Qingluan's figure disappeared, and the residual soul attached to the inner elixir disappeared.
Seeing that the obstacle had finally disappeared, the old emperor rubbed his hands excitedly and took off the floating inner elixir. "No one can stop my immortality! Not even my ancestors!"
In the back, Jiang Deng, who witnessed everything, just raised his eyebrows slightly and did not go forward to stop it.
Haha, do you really think that divine-grade materials are so easy to digest?
Not to mention the old emperor, even if she was at the Jindan stage, she would not be able to withstand the huge energy after swallowing it, and would definitely explode and die!
If the old emperor dares to swallow it, he will surely bring about his own destruction!
Having already predicted the ending, Jiang Deng was too lazy to even try to stop it.
“Ah… Ugh!”
The old emperor swallowed the inner elixir the size of a baby's fist in one gulp. He choked so much that his eyes rolled back. He kept beating his chest and finally succeeded in swallowing it.
"I can live forever! Haha——"
The old emperor's laughter stopped abruptly, because he actually spewed out a breath of green flame, and the flesh and blood in his throat seemed to melt along with the gang.
How, how is this possible!
The old emperor widened his eyes in disbelief.
In order to obtain this inner elixir and achieve immortality, he did not even appoint a crown prince, and colluded with eunuchs, taking everything he could just to collect enough gold bricks.
Why did he die despite all the efforts he made?
No, he doesn't want to die! He hasn't lived enough!
"I am unwilling to accept this..."
The old emperor's broken throat made it difficult for him to speak, and his hoarse voice was barely audible.
boom!
The turquoise flames lit up!
The old emperor's bloated body was instantly surrounded by the Qingyu strange fire, and in a moment it was burned to ashes, leaving no ashes.
The Qingluan inner elixir was suspended in the air again.
"Oh," Jiang Deng, without the slightest awareness of the importance of the dead, teased mercilessly, "The old emperor is indeed a flammable substance."
Then, Jiang Deng used the power of chaos to suck over the old emperor's storage bag filled with gold bricks and his inner elixir.
The green inner elixir lay in her palm, emitting a scorching heat.
"Guangguang, dinner is ready."
Jiang Deng thought for a moment and took out the Chongguang Sword.
Realizing that there was something to eat, the Chongguang Sword immediately moved on its own. It not only swallowed up the Qingluan's inner elixir, but also the surrounding Qingyu strange fire could not escape and was all devoured by it.
"Hiccup!"
Chongguang Sword burped and lay lazily in Jiang Deng's palm without moving.
"Well, after eating so much, I should be able to recover at least 20% of my strength, right?"
Jiang Deng touched his chin, and couldn't help but feel excited. He wondered what the Chongguang Sword would become after it absorbed the Qingluan inner elixir...
Turning around, Jiang Deng walked back to meet Feng Qing.
"Feng Qing, have you refined the Qingyu Strange Fire?"
Jiang Deng didn't expect Guangguang to have such a big appetite. He not only ate up the Qingluan inner elixir, but also ate up all the Qingyu strange fire.
If Feng Qing had not yet refined the Green Feather Strange Fire, she could give Feng Qing a cluster. After all, as long as she fed it some more Chaos Power, the refined Green Feather Strange Fire could be regenerated.
Feng Qing nodded, "Peak Master, I have finished refining it."
As he spoke, Feng Qing spread out his palm. A small green flame had appeared in his palm. Maintained by his spiritual power, it swayed slightly, looking quite cute.
While Jiang Deng was happy for Feng Qing, he sighed, "Feng Qing, I have good news and bad news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear first?"
