Chen Rui didnât know about Lex the Greatâs purge at Dragon Horn City. In fact, it really had nothing to do with him. His main concern now was to get to the Flaring Sun Volcano as early as possible because Duoduoâs âcold illnessâ started to act again.
âDaddy, Duoduo is so cold.â
âStanwell, can you be faster?â
âItâs already the fastest. At this speed, we can reach the Flaring Sun Volcano in about 2 days.â
Chen Rui nodded. Just now, he was overly concerned. In fact, Stanwellâs strength and flying speed far exceeded that of a griffon. To reach the Flaring Sun Volcano in 2 days was much faster than he thought.
âDuoduo, daddy will sing you a song.â
Listening to Chen Ruiâs out-of-tune singing, Stanwell had previously thought it was funny, but slowly, he couldnât help but recall the situation where he and his younger sister, Loraine, depended on each other. He suddenly felt a little melancholy. Some of his hatred and fear unknowingly faded.
After traveling day and night, they finally arrived at the Flaring Sun Volcano area in the afternoon of the second day.
This was not a volcano, but a huge volcanic group. Just like the name of âFlaring Sunâ, many craters would emit sun-like flares from time to time. The eruption was continuous, and hot lava flowed all year round.
Although this was the territory of the Red Eagle Empire, there were no people at all because the environment was too harsh.
âThere are too many volcanoes here, and the geographical span is very large. Stanwell, do you know where the fire elementals are located?â
Stanwell shook his gigantic head, âItâs so damn hot here. Iâve only been here occasionally with the red dragon a long time ago, and I havenât explored it carefully.â
âOkay, you can go now.â Chen Rui nodded and flew down with Catherine and Duoduo. After thinking about it, a bottle of black potion appeared in front of the holy dragon, âI already knew that what happened before was a misunderstanding. This bottle of resurrection potion is a reward for you.â
Resurrection potion? Stanwellâs eyes were bright. This is the potion that can only be crafted by the great grand master. It is a unique treasure in this world where there is no great grand master.
Duoduo waved to Stanwell, âUncle, you are not a bad person. Goodbye!â
Stanwell waved his hand subconsciously before he suddenly came to his senses. His face flushed red, and he disappeared into the sky in a white flash.
âYour daughter is more lethal than you.â Catherine touched Duoduoâs little face.
âLethal! Lethal!â Duoduo waved her fist proudly.
âWhat to do? This daughter is like her mother. She conquers the city with a smile, and wins without fighting against the enemy.â Chen Rui winked his eyes pretending to be relaxed. Due to Duoduoâs condition these days, both he and Catherine had been under tremendous mental pressure. It was rare to relax a little bit of tension.
âFlowery words.â Catherine shook her head, âLetâs figure out how to find the fire elementals.â
âAfter much deliberation, there is only one stupid solution.â Chen Rui covered Duoduoâs ears, âYou should cover your ears too.â
âNo doubt itâs stupid,â Catherine said oddly, âBut I think youâre even more stupid, why donât you keep us in the Tower of Glory?â
âOkay, I admit youâre right, smart woman.â Chen Rui shrugged.
After a while, the purple starlight shone in the sky. Then, a deafening sound enveloped the entire area of ??the main volcano.
âOgmarton! Fire origin fragment!â
Although there were only 2 short terms, Chen Rui believed that as soon as Ogmarton heard âfire origin fragmentâ, he would come immediately.
No doubt, about 20 minutes later, 3 rays of light appeared in vision.
White, green, red.
3 Kings of Light.
Chen Rui let out a long breath and deactivated the [Pole Star Transformation].
âEven in the memory of the Elemental King, you are the first person to shout with the strength of Pseudo-God.â Light Elemental King Delkus showed a bewildered expression.
The Wind Elemental King Sethtineâs eyes twinkled, âIâm amazed by your strength advancement, my friend Chen Rui.â
âIâm not like these 2 hypocritical guys who like to beat around the bush.â Fire Elemental King Ogmarton asked in a hurry, âWhere is the fire origin fragment?â
âItâs a long story.â
Ogmarton immediately interjected, âThen keep it short!â
âActually, I did find the fire origin fragment.â Chen Rui looked at the 3 Elemental Kings with different expressions and sighed, âBut, there is 1 thing that I need your helpâ¦â
Soon after, at the Blazing Flame Hall, where the fire elementals reside.
After listening to Chen Ruiâs brief account of Duoduoâs situation, the Fire Elemental King Ogmarton looked at the little girl who excitedly flew around the palace filled with lava and flames. A surprised expression on his burning face, âChen Rui, is your home similar to the Blazing Flame Hall?â
Chen Rui was speechless. Your house is the one full of fire. Well, it is indeed full of fire here.
Sethtine shook his head, âYour metaphor is as shitty as your temper, Ogmarton. You should say, this little girl is a fire elemental in human skin.â
This metaphor is even more shitty. Chen Rui was more speechless, âYour Highnesses, I know that the appearance of the fire origin fragment makes you all feel good. However, my wife and I are very worried. Is there any way to help my daughter out of the pain?â
Ogmarton took a close look at Duoduo with a suspicious expression, âIs that little girl your biological child?â!
âIf someone else asks me that, Iâll punch him unceremoniously.â Chen Rui frowned, âIâm here to ask for help. Seriously, how to cure Duoduoâs illness? If you really have a way, if you really treat me as a friend, please answer truthfully.â
âIâm serious too, is she really your daughter?â
Chen Rui originally thought after coming here, the Fire Elemental King should have a way to save Duoduo, but who knew that the other party would ridicule him like this. The pressure accumulated in his mind suddenly burst out, and he shouted, âOgmarton!â
âChen Rui.â Catherine pressed Chen Rui in time, âYour Highnesses, as it is related to the safety of my daughter, so my husband is a little rude. Please forgive us. Although it is the first time we meet, I have heard Chen Rui say that the 3 Kings of Light can be regarded as good friends, especially the Your Highness Wind Elemental King Sethtine. For Your Highness Ogmarton and Your Highness Delkus, Chen Rui can keep his promise to find the light origin fragment and fire origin fragment, so he should also be a friend who keeps his promises. Therefore, I want to confirm 1 thing first â Is the condition of Duoduo serious?â
âMs. Catherine, your observation skills are admirable.â Sethtine said. âItâs just that your daughterâs condition is more special than you think.â
âYes.â Ogmarton replied, âThe breath of the power in this little girl feels vast and intimate to me. Not only that, she may also have some ancient and rare bloodline power.
Thatâs why I wanted to clarify if she is your real daughter. â
Chen Rui also gradually calmed down, âIâm sorry Ogmarton, I was too impatient just now.â
âI prefer straightforward friends.â Ogmarton shook his head, âUnfortunately, my current state is far from being your opponent. Otherwise, a good fight will be enough to make friends.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âPut away your bad habits; donât get off topic.â Delkus spoke up, âAs Elemental Kings, we are very grateful to you for bringing back the origin fragment. You are the true friends that Elemental King admits. Now that you need help, we will definitely exert all effort. At present, the exact situation of Duoduo must be found out before the correct judgment and method can be selected.â
âI wonât say more courtesies.â Catherine nodded, âFrankly speaking, Iâm from the Demon Realmâs Asmodeus Royal Family. We are indeed Duoduo parents, but my original pregnancy may well be due to⦠a special power that I accepted from Chen Rui. It was under this power that I completed the 5th nirvana of the Asmodeus Royal Family and became pregnant with this child.â
âSpecial power?â Delkus glanced at Chen Rui.
âI wonder if the 3 of you have heard of an existence called the âphoenixâ?â
âPhoenix?â Delkus patted his head, âNo wonder I feel that degree of fire affinity in her. Phoenix is ??an ancient demonic beast with powerful combat power, and it can be reborn in flames. However, after a certain catastrophe, they have almost disappeared. I didnât expect phoenix to still exist! But why is she currently a human body?â
âI once happened to hatch a phoenix, and it was like a daughter to me. Because of an accidentâ¦â Chen Rui showed the [Fire Phoenix Stigmata] on his left arm, âBut she did not really annihilate. Instead, she was kept in this mark â You may not be able to see it, but in fact, this mark exists. Later, Catherine and I became husband and wife. Duoduo probably reincarnated into a human body in this way, and she was reborn as our daughter.â
Delkus pondered and said, âThis may explain why Duoduo likes the fire environment so much, but thatâs not the key question. Even the phoenix wouldnât have a bloodline like that.
âThe ancient bloodline youâre talking about isnât a phoenix?â This greatly exceeded Chen Ruiâs expectations.
âShe was kept in your body and was born through the maternal bodyâ¦â Sethtine looked at Catherine for a while, shook his head, and finally set his eyes on Chen Rui.
Not only Sethtine, but Ogmarton and Delkus also looked at Chen Rui. He felt a little awkward being stared at, âWhatâs wrong with me?â
â2 possibilities. 1 is Duoduoâs own reason, and the other is you.â Sethtine said profoundly, âNo matter which reason, I can answer you accurately, Duoduoâs condition is not an illness.â
âNot an illness?â Chen Rui and Catherine said in unison.
âThis should be an âawakeningâ of bloodline power.â Delkus said solemnly, âItâs not a phoenix bloodline, because she originally had the purest phoenix power. This kind of bloodline is very rare, and it can be called the closest to the ultimate existence! In other words, it is the easiest shortcut to reach the ultimate.â
Ultimate? Catherine and Chen Rui looked at each other. Catherine couldnât help but speak up, âDuoduo has the closest bloodline to the ultimate?â
âIt could be Duoduo, or it could be himâ¦â Delkus looked at Chen Rui, but he finally said to Catherine, âThe strange thing is, you also have a little bit of it. It should be because something happened to him or her. This kind of transfer has benefited a lot.â
âTransfer? Benefit?â Catherine expressed surprise and suddenly understood something, âThe 5th nirvana!â
TL: Is Duoduo going through a nirvana? What about the ancient bloodline?
