Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

The moment the black fruit appeared in his hand, Fang Lan who was in a daze while looking at Ling Chen meditating, suddenly jolt awake as he was alarmed.

Swish!

At the same time, Fang Lan felt the temperature of the room reach an inconceivable level.

Looking at the Black fruit that suddenly appeared in Ling Chen's hand out of nowhere, Fang Lan quickly went from feeling alarmed to being shocked and aghast.

In an instant, his pair of eyes opened wide while gazing at the black fruit in the palm of Ling Chen. He even rubbed his eyes since he thought he was only seeing things.

However, after rubbing his eyes for a while, the small black fruit was still there, meaning that it was not only in his mind!

If Ling Chen had an interspatial ring, he would have understood. However, there's none in his finger. It was as though the black fruit mysteriously grows out of his palm.

" This… This… is not possible…" Fang Lan couldn't accept what his eyes were telling him. He took a deep breath and tried to soak in this reality as he was observing the little black fruit.

The little black fruit was like a miniature black sun. It was emitting an infinite black brilliance and heat.

Standing not too far from it, Fang Lan could even feel his skin being scorched by the terrifying heat coming from the black fruit. It felt like his body was starting to char from the burning sensation alone.

Furthermore, the temperature of the black flame coming out of the black fruit was so terrifying that it seemed as if it was burning the air around it.

He could even see waves of True Qi energy dispersed like the receding tide as though they were being warded off or afraid of getting closer to the black fruit.

Aside from that, only when he observed this little black fruit from up close, did he finally discover its beauty. The little black fruit was very appealing. Its outer layer seemed as though it was formed by an innumerable string of black flame, wove together to form the fruit.

One could even occasionally see the sea of black flames burning fiercely within the fruit. This created a majestic spectacle as though there was a black inferno within the fruit--quite unfathomable.

"Such vigorous firepower!"

Even Ling Chen deeply breathed in, as astonishment flashed in his eyes. Seeing the little black fruit in the outside world was really different than seeing it in his sea of consciousness.

Aside from astonishment, Ling Chen had a demonic smile on his face while looking at the little black flame fruit in his hand. He could also feel a strong connection with the black fruit as though it was a part of himself, like a son.

Although the black fruit was emitting a terrifying heat like a burning hell, Ling Chen's hand didn't get burned from it. He only felt a warm current coming from the fruit.

" This is the key to your greatness. Whether you succeed or not depends on you."

"This fruit is known as the Black Fire Fruit of Creation. Not only this fruit is able to reconstruct your broken meridians, but it will also make them more powerful and sturdy than the previous ones."

"Aside from strengthening your body, you'll also get the awesome ability to manipulate black fire at will. With an unbreakable defense from practicing the Supreme Undying body battle technique and the destructive power of the black flame, I am afraid that no one in the entire Heaven Desolate Region would want to make an enemy of you." Ling Chen's words were filled with temptation.

Upon hearing Ling Chen's description, although Fang Lan had never heard about the so-called Black Fire Fruit of Creation, he didn't doubt his words.

Looking at the black fruit in Ling Chen's hand, a feverish look flickered across Fang Lan's eyes.

No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't hide the greed in his eyes while he was looking at the resplendent black fireball in Ling Chen's hand.

" How do I absorb it?" Quickly asked Fang Lan with a greedy expression on his face as well a look of impatience.

He couldn't wait to get the ability to manipulate the so-called black fire as well as having his meridians reconstructed.

Even though he had lost his cultivation base, he could still feel a strong demonic power coming from that fruit. That demonic energy carried an indescribable temptation power, and he couldn't wait to get his hand on it.

Looking at the impatient look on Fang Lan's face, Ling Chen had a pleased expression on his face.

"By swallowing it." Ling Chen said. At the same time, he was looking at Fang Lan with a smile that was not a smile on his face.

Upon hearing Ling Chen's answer, Fang Lan suddenly shuddered from fear. He was shocked despite mentally preparing himself. He had a feeling that Ling Chen was going to say, but he didn't want to believe it.

It was as though he suddenly fell in hell after ascending Heaven. He quickly went from being excited to terrify and frighten in a blink of an eye. It was as though Ling Chen had suddenly dropped a bucket of cold water on his head.

Although he was desperate to gain power, he wasn't that stupid. He was well aware of the destructive power contained within that fruit.

Not to mention him, even a Martial Venerable would not be able to safely absorb the power within that fruit, let alone swallowed it.

The black fire energy contained within that fruit was so strong that it could even be described as a tiny sun.

Directly consuming the energy within that black fruit was equivalent to committing suicide. Actually, even a Martial Saint would not dare to do so, let alone him. By swallowing that back fruit, he was destined to die from burnt innards.

Looking at the frightened expression of Fang Lan, Ling Chen didn't blame him nor belittle him. He would have felt the same way if he was in his position.

Nonetheless, he didn't show any supportive emotion on his face. His face was still cold and frosty as usual. To him, Fang Lan was still a little experimental subject. He wouldn't even force him if he refused to proceed with the experiment. He would just look for someone else if he chickened out.

" Like I already said, the risk of dying in the process is really high." Ling Chen added: " Also, the greater the risk the greater the gain."

" You won't become a peak existence by playing it safe without taking any risk. Besides, you don't have anything to lose. Even if you don't survive the process, with the state of your body, you'll still gonna die in two months' time or so."

Listening to Ling Chen's words, Fang Lan stood there silently without saying anything as he was contemplating.

He really didn't have long to live after the Organs Devouring poison had devoured most of his internal organs.

Also, he truly wanted to tread on the path unfinished by the creator of the Supreme Undying body battle technique and reach the apex of this world.

He wanted to be strong enough to control his destiny with his own hand. In order to achieve this dream, he needed power, not to mention being alive.

However, this was easier said than done. The Black Fruit of Creation which seemed to be his only hope was emitting powerful fiery energy capable of burning anything to a crisp.

Swallowing this thing was a sure trip to hell. Only a madman would even consider such a thing.

Despite all that, Fang Lan took a deep breath and formally accepted the suggestion: "Okay, I will do it! As long as surviving this thing would give me enough power to control my own destiny and my family, I am willing to do so!"

This decision wasn't easy for him to make. However, he didn't have a choice. It was whether this or waiting to die in two months' time. Furthermore, he wasn't even sure if he was going to last that long as his enemies were probably waiting for him from the inside and outside the sect.

"I admire your conviction and determination. This kind of determination is necessary to reach the peak!" Ling Chen praised Fang Lan with a slight smile on his face.

Listening to Ling Chen, Fang Lan felt as though he was talking to an old man rather than a child. Well, can't blame him, after spending most of his time with his father who was like his only friend, the Heavenly Demon Venerable had rubbed on him and he even acted the same way as his father sometimes.

After seeing the look of determination on Fang Lan's face, Ling Chen didn't waste any time as he gave the black fruit of creation to Fang Lan which in turn swallowed it whole without a second look.
