The air was filled with a strong and pungent smell of blood that harnessed great energy!
Ricky was frightened, forgetting about his curiosity and would rather retreat, but the strong message that the Chaotic Fire Zone sent pushed him deeper into the dwelling.
Having trouble finding a way out, he entertained the idea of entering the dwelling as the Chaotic Fire Zone indicated.
Surrounded by the light of the flame shield, Ricky went into the dwelling to the deep.
It took about half an hour for the pungent smell to reach its limit.
Not far away from him, Ricky saw a pool made of blood. It was about size of a hundred meters and the blood was boiling, spurting fire to whoever dared to come close.
The blood exuded great energy. Ricky knew it would only take a single drop to destroy him.
As he got closer, the pool began to change. The boiling grew more violent and the great energy merged all the blood together, shaping it into a dragon jumping and rolling up in the air.
Ricky felt familiar with the blood, for its smell resembled the dragon blood they absorbed from the lava lake.
'Could this be the real dragon blood?' Ricky thought with doubt in his head.
With that great energy and power, it would be the only explanation, Ricky imagined. He was convinced it was the real dragon blood.
"What a once in a lifetime opportunity!" The words burst out of him as he jumped out of excitement.
The dragon blood energy they found in the lava lake was way too little, even less than what they imagined, but it enabled him to gain martial arts prowess. He could not help but fantasize about what could this real dragon blood bring to him.
It took Ricky a moment to pull himself together.
Ricky knew he was currently unable to refine even a single drop of the dragon blood, let alone a whole pool of it. He hoped that he could take the dragon blood away and refine them someday when he had the strength.
But how to take them away? It shouldn't be any trouble with the Chaotic Fire Zone.
Ricky impulsively pushed the Chaotic Fire Zone to absorb the whole pool of dragon blood.
But it seemed that the pool had no intentions of being taken that easily. The dragon blood boiled more violently, exuding an enormous amount of spiritual energy.
The energy grew bigger and smothered Ricky and his surroundings without causing him any harm.
The energy materialized itself into a giant fire dragon!
With its deafening roars, it was the fiercest great dragon he had ever laid eyes on. But it existed in a virtual space, Ricky was unsure if it was real or was only inside his head.
"Oh boy, is this the real Great Dragon?" Ricky whispered to himself. He tried his best to act unfazed as he saw the fire dragon's phantom.
The Great Dragon was the most powerful being in the world and was known to have the strongest blood. How could he, a mere Blood Purification warrior, be so fortunate to see it with his own eyes? It didn't matter if it was only a phantom.
Ricky hadn't had a good story to tell the other warriors for a long time. However, this should be enough for him to brag for a lifetime.
But he knew that telling this story would only bring him death.
"It's been tens of millions of years. Finally, a living creature stands in front of me!" Next thing he knew, an deep, old, and immense voice began to echo in his head.
"Young one, it seems that you have brought the outside Heaven Melting Fire under control. It shows that you have the divine spiritual meridian of fire nature and that you are fit to become a God!"
"The...The Great Dragon, is that you who is speaking?" asked Ricky, unable to control the shivering in his voice.
