Chapter 5849: Agou

*Boom!*

A violent pressure, akin to a tornado, swept in. Liú Qíngyǔ's Emperor Miao's power instantly locked down Lóng Chén.

*Splurt!*

Lóng Chén felt as if his entire body's bones were being crushed. Blood gushed out uncontrollably. It was then that he remembered—he had exhausted all his strength in attempting to kill the elder of the Dà Luó Qīnglián tribe.

At that time, Lóng Chén was still heavily injured. To conserve Chǔ Yáo's energy, once his injuries were managed, he didn't let her continue aiding his recovery.

After all, the crisis had passed, and Lóng Chén had no intention of continuing the battle. However, in his earlier rage, he had forgotten he was still in the process of recovery.

Under Liú Qíngyǔ's lock, his injuries worsened instantly. Seeing Lóng Chén hurt, Líu Rúyān's eyes surged with killing intent. She supported Lóng Chén with one hand, helping him withstand Liú Qíngyǔ's pressure, her face turning pale.

"Liú Qíngyǔ, today, only one of us will leave this arena alive," Líu Rúyān's killing intent soared. Lóng Chén's injury made her both heartbroken and furious.

The years of grievances and anger from being of the Undead Tribe erupted like a volcano. The flames of the Emperor's Miao surged as her murderous intent soared.

Líu Rúyān's fury shocked everyone present. No one expected her to explode in an instant, let alone make such a menacing declaration—to confront Liú Qíngyǔ with her life on the line.

Liú Qíngyǔ was shocked and furious. He hadn't expected Líu Rúyān to be so agitated for an outsider. He couldn't help but angrily retort, "You're furious enough to attack your own kind for a weakling like a human? You're simply beyond redemption. Since you're lost, don't blame me for being ruthless. Do you really think you're strong? If it weren't for Lady Xī Huā's mercy, you wouldn't have had time to awaken the Emperor's Miao. Instead of showing gratitude, you've worsened the situation. Today, I'll kill this human, making you fully realize your mistake."

"Today, I'll kill you first."

Líu Rúyān's killing intent surged. Trembling all over, her fierce aura tore through the sky.

Just as Líu Rúyān was about to strike, a large hand held her back. Lóng Chén wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at Liú Qíngyǔ. "Don't shout at my woman. Give me a day, tomorrow, I'll fight you to the death."

Liú Qíngyǔ looked coldly at Lóng Chén. "The Undead Tribe's rules aren't something a mere human can change."

Lóng Chén's gaze turned cold, about to speak, but at that moment, a voice intervened: "The arena battle is postponed until tomorrow."

"Lady Xī Huā, you can't be so biased. Besides, this was decided by His Majesty..." Liú Qíngyǔ couldn't help but yell.

With this statement, it's evident that regardless of Lady Xī Huā's strength or status, Líu Chángtiān's authority remained absolute. Liú Qíngyǔ invoked Líu Chángtiān to counter Lady Xī Huā.

"Any issues will be handled by me," Lady Xī Huā stated coldly.

Hearing this, Liú Qíngyǔ gritted his teeth but remained silent. He huffed and left.

As Liú Qíngyǔ departed, the arena gradually disappeared, and the spectators dispersed. Lóng Chén and Líu Rúyān returned to the waterfall, where Chǔ Yáo was already waiting for them.

"Lóng Chén, this Liú Qíngyǔ..." Chǔ Yáo looked worried. He was one of the top Emperor Miaos of the Undead Tribe, with immeasurable strength.

"Before Dragon Lord, he's trash. At best, slightly bigger trash," Lóng Chén's face darkened. "Yáo'er, Rúyān, help me recover. Watch me tomorrow as I turn his head into a dog's."

Lóng Chén was completely provoked. He couldn't tolerate seeing his brothers and loved ones being mistreated. What infuriated him the most was Líu Chángtiān's high and mighty attitude. Regardless of one's strength or status, Líu Rúyān was his child, not a pawn.

Lóng Chén had two sets of parents. Although he hadn't met his biological mother yet, both his foster and real father had poured endless love into him. For Lóng Chén, parental love was radiant, sacred, and selfless. He couldn't accept the way Líu Rúyān was treated here.

Seeing Lóng Chén's raging fury, it was clear no one could persuade him at this moment. In Líu Rúyān's eyes, there was only gratitude, and Chǔ Yáo, seeing this scene, finally let go of her worries and started aiding Lóng Chén's recovery.

*Rumble...*

As Lóng Chén healed, within the chaotic space, the divine wood and ancient vines suddenly roared. Its slender body began to grow thicker, from the size of an arm to that of a bucket.

It was surrounded by black lightning, resembling an evil python, exuding boundless malevolence. Amidst the lightning, piercing explosions echoed, and faintly, a terrible flame ascended.

That flame was the Emperor's Qi, derived from the elder of the Dà Luó Qīnglián tribe, now completely refined by the mysterious ancient vines.

Its immense change alarmed Lóng Chén. His consciousness reached the chaotic space, standing before the mysterious ancient vines.

Seeing Lóng Chén's arrival, the vines instantly became unusually excited. Detaching from the Celestial Tree, they wound themselves around Lóng Chén, as if embracing him.

On the vines, Lóng Chén felt a terrifying power that made his scalp tingle. This mysterious vine had absorbed all the power of that elder.

Lóng Chén gently caressed the leaves of the mysterious vine. The thorns that were as sharp as steel needles had become exceptionally soft.

"Crackling, crackling…"

The black lightning crackled around Long Chen, but it didn’t inflict any harm upon him.

However, he couldn't directly tap into this power—it wasn't inherently his. Yet, through the mystical ancient vine, Long Chen could harness this formidable force.

Encountering an elder of the Daluo green lotus clan again with the current power of the mystical vine would not result in the same dire straits as last time.

Long Chen gently caressed the mystical ancient vine, and it seemed to revel in his touch. This terrifying vine now seemed as gentle as a well-behaved kitten.

Softly, Long Chen spoke, "I don't know your origin, but I believe you won't harm me. Since the day we met, we've been partners in life and death. From now on, I'll call you Agu. Let's strive together to become stronger, dominating all realms and changing the world because of us."

"Boom…"

Suddenly, Agu released Long Chen, swaying as black lightning burst forth like swords, exuding a malevolent aura akin to a volcanic eruption.

Seeing Agu's transformation, Long Chen smiled. He understood Long Chen's intent—Agu was telling him that it would grow stronger, joining Long Chen in conquering the universe.

Agu's terrifying potential provided Long Chen with another card to deal with the formidable opponents. Confident now, given enough time, Long Chen feared no adversary.

As time passed, a day flew by. The void quivered, and the arena reappeared.

The onlookers surrounding the arena multiplied manyfold from the previous day, even including Lady Xihua.

"Human race, come forth and battle!" roared Liu Qingyu from the arena, his voice echoing through the sky.
