Chapter 201: Fire of the Dragon

Chapter 201: The Dragon's Flame

The body of fire elements began to undergo changes.

Li Wei felt a surge of power flowing into his elemental form.

Compared to a normal flesh-and-blood body, the elemental form absorbed the power within the Dragon Blood Fruit more easily.

When all the dust finally settled.

Li Wei's right hand transformed into the shape of a dragon claw.

A flame dragon claw.

Boom!

Li Wei squeezed hard, the air in his palm exploded before it could escape.

The strength of his right arm became incredibly terrifying.

With a casual sweep, he snapped a large tree in half.

"Is this the power of a dragon?"

Li Wei gazed at his right hand, lost in thought.

Not only that, he felt the fire elements within his arm had also changed.

It felt as though they had become even more powerful.

This sensation was strange.

The manifested characteristic was that the flame temperature was extremely high.

Li Wei grabbed a piece of wood; it was not burned, but directly carbonized.

He crushed the carbonized wood.

"This is the dragon's flame."

"Legend says dragon breath can easily melt the vast majority of substances in the world; it seems it is not a rumor."

He had only obtained a sliver of the dragon's power, yet he possessed such astonishing strength.

It was hard to imagine how powerful a true dragon was.

It was even harder to imagine how powerful the human empire was at its peak.

Li Wei ate the remaining two Dragon Blood Fruits.

The transformation of the fire elements within his body became even more obvious.

The dragonification of his right arm evolved into a half-body dragonification.

Shedding the elemental form, his figure returned to normal.

Li Wei felt a powerful force surging within his body.

That was the dragon's flame.

"Dragon Blood Fruits and Dragon Scale Ancient Trees have both appeared; there is likely a dragon corpse within this secret realm."

Li Wei thought to himself.

He raised his head to look deep into the secret realm, quickening his pace toward the depths.

"Shadow Servant, scout the path."

The Shadow Servant went ahead to scout, while Li Wei walked and adapted to his strengthened body.

After consuming three Dragon Blood Fruits, Li Wei's physique became even stronger.

It was already comparable to official Knights and Warriors.

The gap between him and true Knight or Warrior practitioners remained only in the transcendent characteristics.

If transcendent characteristics were not considered, Li Wei's physique and strength were even superior to ordinary first-tier warriors.

This was the power of the Dragon Blood Fruit, allowing an ordinary person to directly obtain the power of a transcendent.

After being consumed by a transcendent, it could even greatly enhance their strength.

After Li Wei absorbed the power within the three Dragon Blood Fruits.

His mana growth was obvious.

Although not as great as the physique improvement, it was equivalent to two months of arduous cultivation.

However, the greatest harvest was still the change in fire elements.

The dragon's flame, a flame of ultra-high temperature, was far hotter than the fireballs produced by Li Wei's charged attacks.

Whoosh!

A Dragon Scale Wolf leaped from the bushes to attack Li Wei.

Li Wei had already discovered it.

Raising his hand, he slapped a fireball onto its face.

Boom!

The Dragon Scale Wolf was blasted away.

Li Wei's mind moved, mobilizing the dragon's flame within his body.

An ultra-high temperature fireball shot out, hitting the Dragon Scale Wolf with its powerful defense.

Instantly, the Dragon Scale Wolf let out a miserable scream.

The incredibly sturdy sub-dragon scales were melted; after ten-plus seconds, only a pitch-black corpse remained on the spot.

The Dragon Scale Wolf was burned into charcoal.

"Such terrifying flame."

Li Wei cast Telekinesis, a large blue hand crushed the Dragon Scale Wolf turned into charcoal.

A third-tier magic core flew into his hand.

"Another third-tier magic core."

"It seems the magical beasts within this secret realm are all influenced by dragon blood, becoming abnormally powerful."

"Compared to the giant python, it is still a bit weaker."

Li Wei thought to himself.

Putting away the magic core, he continued walking toward the depths of the secret realm.

Li Wei had a vague feeling that the true treasures lay in the depths of the secret realm.

The thing he wanted was also there.

He wanted to obtain the true Dragon's Flame.

Boom!

Yet another sub-dragon beast launched an assault on Li Wei.

A boar clad in sturdy scales pushed through trees like a tank, charging recklessly.

Li Wei flew into the sky, dodging the strike.

The trees behind him were smashed to powder.

The Dragon-Scale Boar was akin to a tree crusher, nothing could halt its advance.

Li Wei looked down, lost in thought.

"Could it be because I ate the Dragon Blood Fruit, so these beasts all want to kill me?"

Otherwise, there was no explaining why so many beasts suddenly appeared to attack Li Wei.

After pondering for a moment, Li Wei seemed to understand something.

He raised his head to look into the depths of the secret realm.

"What secret lies there exactly?"

He had seen through it.

This secret realm was simply a vast gu-cultivating field.

The dragon-blood beasts within slaughtered each other, gaining stronger and purer dragon lineage.

Thus becoming even more powerful.

The Dragon Blood Fruit was born from irrigation by pure dragon blood.

Now, Li Wei had become the most coveted prize within the secret realm.

Trouble never ceased.

Li Wei suffered attacks from various magical beasts all along the way.

Later on, he stopped fighting the beasts.

He directly cast Fire Escape to flee.

The enemies simply could not be killed off completely.

Finally, Li Wei reached the deepest part of the secret realm.

Here lay a desolate wasteland.

A clear dividing line appeared on the earth where plants watered by dragon blood grew thick.

Even magical beasts dared not tread upon this desolate land.

Li Wei stepped into the desolate lands.

Instantly, he felt an extremely powerful dragon aura descend.

Merely a step away, it was as if two different worlds.

Li Wei's eyes trembled.

He seemed to see a giant dragon's bloody maw right before him.

Behind the huge mouth, sparks flew out, a scorching heat burning body and soul.

That feeling was like an unarmed, unprotected ordinary person colliding head-on with a fierce tiger.

In an instant, Li Wei's thoughts even went blank, his whole person stunned.

After a while, he finally recovered his senses.

Taking a deep breath, Li Wei walked toward the deeper depths.

The desolate land could be seen through at a glance.

Empty, with nothing there.

Like a bald spot appearing on the head of the forest, exceptionally conspicuous and glaring.

Intuition told Li Wei there must be something inside.

"He is here!"

Someone spotted Li Wei's figure.

The desolate land had no cover, Li Wei's figure was seen at a glance.

Everyone rushed toward the desolate land.

Someone stepped into the desolate land, the next second they were scared to the ground.

Not daring to take another step into this place.

Except for Li Wei, no one could withstand the dragon's pressure to walk into the desolate land.

Everyone watched him from the edge.

They were all expecting something.

"Why can he go in?"

Someone voiced the question.

No one could explain.

Everyone watched silently.

Not only this group of human outsiders.

A group of magical beasts even appeared at the edge of the desolate land, silently watching Li Wei struggling forward inside.

Rarely did they coexist in peace.

At this moment, they were all expecting Li Wei to bring out what was inside the desolate land.

Li Wei kept walking, suddenly, his figure vanished before everyone.

Everyone froze.

A mage exclaimed: "It's a barrier! There is a hidden barrier there!"

Everyone showed expressions of shock.

"Isn't this a secret realm just discovered? Why would a magic barrier appear?"
