Chapter 1 A Quiet Water Wood Forest

The two White Praise experts, who had been aggressive just moments ago, were now completely calm, their faces gentle, standing motionless.

Under the Flower Speech ability, they were both in a controlled waiting period. During this time, as long as Li Cheng颐 didn't issue severe, contradictory commands like suicide, he could freely control them.

"What are you doing here? What is your purpose?" Li Cheng颐 asked calmly.

This was his Flower Field, and he needed to bring all external factors around him under his control.

"The instruction from headquarters is to annihilate as many heretics below Silver level in the surrounding area as possible and turn their resources and corpses into sacrificial materials."

"What is your purpose? Why are you doing this?" Li Cheng颐 asked again.

"The purpose is to unify the land under the sect and eliminate all other false god religions," the man with more silver stripes quickly replied.

"How many of you are in this vicinity, what is your strength? What level is Silver?"

"Not many nearby, about ten or so. Their strength is mostly similar to ours. Silver level refers to the strong individuals at the bishop level within large religious orders, such as Crescent Moon, Underworld, and Elf. Their bodies have been baptized, and their blood has a faint silver color, hence the name."

"Where is your nest stronghold?" Li Cheng颐 thought for a moment, then asked.

"In an underground mysterious church near here. A mysterious church is a special way of building a church. It is a completely enclosed church that can supply a certain amount of drinking water and provide protective aura, concealing itself."

Li Cheng颐 carefully asked for more information about White Praise.

He was surprised to find that these people were actually very orthodox, standard divine art priests, with fixed divine art slots every day, and different divine arts available at different levels.

There were many kinds of divine arts, but the number was limited, which meant that this group needed a lot of intelligence to accurately target and strike their opponents.

After asking the questions, he moved his mind.

Whoosh!

A semi-transparent sword light flew past, piercing through the chests of the two, bringing out a trail of blood.

Invisible death energy flames enveloped the two, and brilliance exploded inside.

In the blink of an eye, only two pale white piles of powder remained in place.

It was the ashes of the two, along with their clothes.

'White Praise is very suitable for honing Tom and the others. If Tom can continue to improve and sublimate under their hands, then this situation cannot disappear.'

Li Cheng颐 thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.

Whoosh!

A black light flashed, and he disappeared from the spot again.

Back at the office, he quickly drafted a plan to use White Praise to hone the seedlings under his command.

He was halfway through thinking when suddenly his eyes focused.

The aura of the Flower Speech Pearl had changed!!

In the office, the Flower Speech Pearl, which had not changed much before, suddenly had a much stronger aura.

In Li Cheng颐's perception, it was as if a crack had appeared in space.

A trace of unfamiliar aura permeated from the other side of the crack.

He stood up excitedly. After waiting for so long, finally...

Going around the desk, he reached out his hand and, without hesitation, touched the crack that could only be touched by mental power.

Whoosh!

The moment he touched the crack, a powerful repulsive force suddenly descended on Li Cheng颐.

Caught off guard, he was about to react, but immediately paused, stopped moving, and was squeezed by the huge force, rushing into the crack.

His whole body rapidly shrunk, drilling into it.

In the endless black mud, the pressure from all directions was immense.

In the lightless darkness, only a huge green dragon composed of pure green, jewel-like crystals lay prostrate, burying its head under its wings in slumber.

The only light in the darkness emanated from this dragon.

Li Cheng颐 also floated quietly in the black mud, looking around.

His humanoid form was about two meters tall, but compared to the green dragon in front of him, he was like an ant, incredibly small.

"Where is this?" He frowned. He had clearly used Reverse Imprint Teleportation to get in, but after entering, the aura of the Flower Speech Pearl instantly disappeared.

This had never happened before.

Also, this dark space, seemingly as black and boundless as a black sea, gave him an extremely oppressive feeling of constraint.

Buzz.

At this moment, the green gemstone dragon seemed to awaken, slowly raising its head, its three golden horns standing upright, its huge golden dragon eyes opening, like two large light bulbs, its gaze falling on Li Cheng颐.

"Interesting, another poor little guy has come." It uttered clear Black Sea language.

"Who are you? Logically, I shouldn't be here. How exactly did I get in? Could you please enlighten me?" When Li Cheng颐 first made contact, anyone would think he was a very friendly person.

And the smile on his face at this moment was enough for any wary stranger to lower some of their guard.

"You dare to rush in without even knowing where this is!?" The emerald dragon burst into laughter.

The laughter turned into circles of green light ripples, spreading around.

Its huge body, at least a thousand meters long, also shook with the laughter.

"Let me tell you what this is. This is the most solid and desperate maze in the entire world—the Shadow Dragon Prison! It is the desolate place where the gods exile those existences they cannot destroy!" The emerald dragon roared, explaining.

"Shadow Dragon Prison?" Li Cheng颐 frowned, "Since it's a prison, are there many different rooms?"

"You're right. There are indeed many different cages. You are free, you can try to master the method of leaving and go to other cages. But..." The emerald dragon smiled maliciously.

"But there is no way to replenish power here. You can only rely on your own strength to break everything and transfer out later."

"My own strength?" Li Cheng颐 asked doubtfully.

"The Shadow Dragon Prison will forcibly assign entrants to different cages the moment they enter. You are lucky to have encountered an empty cage, so there will be no danger.

But if you are unlucky, hehe, being eaten is a common occurrence. After all, many prisoners are not as good-tempered as me, willing to chat with you first before dining." The emerald dragon laughed.

"So, you are very strong?" Li Cheng颐 asked back.

"How could you, a tiny worm, possibly understand the power of my Gem Dragon clan?"

"Gem Dragon clan... what is your name? Are there any stronger than you in your clan?" Li Cheng颐 asked seriously.

"Heh... my name is Bu Du Lei En · Fu Lan!! The greatest Calamity Dragon!!" The emerald dragon roared.

Greed +5.

Greed +6

Dense, storm-like torrents of malice flooded Li Cheng颐's mind.

The Wisteria Flower that was just about to evolve instantly completed the amount needed for its fifth evolution.

"Do you want to leave here?" Li Cheng颐's gaze fell on the huge black chain hidden beneath the other party's body.

The chain was the same color as the black mud, so it hadn't been noticed before, but now, as Bu Du Lei En moved, it was revealed.

When operating in a new place, he couldn't always do everything himself. He needed some subordinates to cover for him, to avoid leaving too many traces due to frequent actions.

So...

"What? You actually want to release me!?" Bu Du Lei En was surprised, then burst into sharp laughter.

"Ridiculous! Too ridiculous!!! Do you know that this is the Chain of Hatred and Despair forged by the Dark Death God? As long as the hatred and despair against me have not been eliminated, and people still spread hatred towards me, it will never break!"

"Is that so..." Li Cheng颐 raised his hand, his silver hair fluttering slightly behind him.

Crack.

The chain suddenly trembled, and under the gaze of the dragon and the man, it suddenly broke in the middle.

"!!??" Bu Du Lei En widened its dragon eyes, a trace of disbelief revealed within.

"What's going on!? It... it broke on its own!!?"

It leaned its dragon head closer, carefully examining and observing, as if it couldn't believe what it was seeing.

The terrifying chain, known as indestructible, had suddenly broken for no reason!?

What was this!?

Even fate was helping it escape! Hoping it would break free and take revenge on those foreign races who had humiliated it!?

Bu Du Lei En's eyes filled with狂喜, it stretched out its claws, gently grabbed the chain, and lifted it up.

With a rustling sound, the chain was still there, but it was truly broken.

Confirming this scene, it finally trembled all over, slowly rising, stretching its entire body.

"Could it be... this is the fate destined for me, Bu Du Lei En!!? Is it destined that I will truly break free today!?"

It raised its head and suddenly let out a狂笑.

Hahahahaha!!!

The gemstone dragon, as if mad, raised its head and shook its wings, letting out a狂喜 roar.

After laughing for a long time, it finally remembered that there was a foreigner waiting here.

Only then did it lower its head, retract its body, and stare at Li Cheng颐.

"Since you were unlucky enough to encounter me about to escape my prison, then the first delicious blood meal of my rebirth will start with you!!"

Its mouth stretched out a scarlet tongue, licking its lips.

"You want to eat me?" Li Cheng颐 asked in surprise.

"Yes... poor little guy, hope you won't be so muddleheaded next life, randomly entering spaces." Bu Du Lei En grinned, quickly flying towards Li Cheng颐, opening its mouth wide.

"But I don't want to eat you," Li Cheng颐 suddenly said. A strange smile appeared on his face.

"I just want you to be a dog."

He raised his right hand.

"Coincidentally, I'm still short of a puppy to give to 伊瑟琳"

Hiss!!!

In an instant.

In the very center of Bu Du Lei En's huge body, from its left chest to its lower abdomen, a giant bloody gash suddenly split open.

Massive amounts of green dragon blood sprayed out like it was free, the blood glowing with bright green light, illuminating Bu Du Lei En's own face with surprise.

"!!!!!!?"

Its flying body froze strangely at this moment, like a giant green amber, fixed in mid-air.

The massive loss of blood caused its consciousness to quickly weaken, becoming powerless.

Pain, fear, incomprehension, doubt.

Heavy emotions flooded its mind, making it unable to react at all, to figure out what it should do now, or what to do.

"Understand?" Li Cheng颐 retracted his hand, a terrifying black-gold color suddenly flashing in his eyes.

Overwhelmingly powerful dragon might, with him as the center, roared and pressed out, the pure aura of the Eighteen Seals having strengthened the originally weak Shadow Dragon King bloodline to an extremely exaggerated level.

Bu Du Lei En's scales stood on end, its entire body chilled to the bone, a frantic urge to retreat surged forth.

"You!!?"

"Call me master," Li Cheng颐 interrupted directly.
