The Dragon King is a chaos beast.
The demon race and chaos beasts, to be precise, are not of the same kind.
But given the Dragon King's nature, he would definitely intervene.
"Do we interfere?" Qi Sha transmitted mentally.
"We'll see."
Chen Fan replied, diligently comprehending the Dao rhythm within the Dark Fire Grotto.
After a moment, he spoke, "A land of Dao rhythm left behind by a deceased sixth-tier Heavenly Emperor."
This place was brimming with Dao rhythm.
Although sixth-tier Dao rhythm was of little use to them,
It was still beneficial to comprehend it.
Chen Fan never disdained others' Dao rhythms.
Gaining more insights would always be beneficial to him.
Even a mosquito's leg is still meat.
Inside the grotto, the residual Dao rhythm had already become very weak.
"I'll comprehend it for a while," Chen Fan said, sitting down directly.
He wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.
The others also sat down.
To comprehend.
One should never underestimate anyone's comprehension of the Great Dao.
Even the most minuscule Great Dao could eventually pave the way for an incredibly powerful, supreme path.
Any seemingly insignificant being could ultimately achieve god-like might.
Lord Thunder was the best example.
A mere thunder beetle, who eventually ascended to the position of a ninth-tier Great Emperor.
Though he was rather vengeful, bullying the Lord of Light his entire life.
The four sat cross-legged.
"Buzz."
Traces of Dao rhythm were being drawn out.
The power of the Great Dao here had been diluted over ten thousand years, making it very weak.
"Can we even comprehend anything?" the Great Demon hesitated.
They had been here more than once.
The Dao rhythm was already extremely faint.
"Hush."
Qi Yan quickly interjected, "How can we fathom the abilities of our seniors? Just watch obediently."
The Great Demon immediately fell silent.
At this moment...
Boom.
A vast wave of fire Dao rhythm suddenly spread out.
This energy carried the pressure of a sixth-tier being.
Faintly, the Great Demon and Qi Yan seemed to see an incredibly powerful Heavenly Emperor appear.
"This is..."
The Great Demon and Qi Yan's eyes widened in shock, almost bulging out of their sockets.
They recognized the spectral figure.
It was the Great Emperor Dark Fire, who had been heavily injured while vying for a seventh-tier opportunity.
Finally, he had meditated and passed away within the Dark Fire Grotto.
"How is this possible?"
This time, even Qi Yan couldn't help but exclaim.
He could no longer maintain his composure.
For a moment, intense heat surged within both of them.
The Dao rhythm had been completely ignited.
For them, this was an immense fortune. If they could comprehend sixth-tier Dao rhythm, there was a high chance that they, who had been stuck in the Half-Emperor realm for years, would break through to the Emperor realm.
However... they dared not.
This Dao rhythm was ignited by the seniors; they dared not absorb it carelessly.
"What are you still standing there for?"
Old Demon Chu opened his eyes.
He noticed the hesitation of the man and the demon and said, "This Dao rhythm is of no use to us; comprehending it briefly is enough. But for you two, it is of great importance. Are you waiting for it to dissipate before absorbing it?"
"After this battle, this Dark Fire Grotto is ruined. The last traces of Dao rhythm will fade. Are you not seizing this final opportunity?"
Upon hearing this, the man and the demon immediately nodded.
This was the benefit of following powerful beings.
A mere sprinkle of residual grace from their fingertips was a colossal fortune in their eyes.
The two no longer hesitated and quickly sat down.
"This guy."
Old Demon Chu shook his head. "Doesn't know how to seize opportunities at all. Letting it go to waste, you see?"
Qi Sha transmitted mentally, a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Do you think those two are like the wolves from the Realm of Life and Death?"
The people from the Realm of Life and Death had been spoiled by Chen Fan, radiating a predatory aura.
But these two before them dared not.
Old Demon Chu thought about it... and it was true.
The thought of those fellows from the Realm of Life and Death gave him a headache... especially Overlord and Mad Emperor, the two most shameless individuals who would snatch anything.
Chen Fan opened his eyes after only about a minute of comprehension.
A wisp of black flame appeared, and he chuckled, "A rather decent Great Dao, suitable for filling up the Realm of Life and Death."
It had become a habit.
Upon seeing something good, he felt the urge to plunder.
Great Emperor Rift Sky also opened his eyes. A brief comprehension was sufficient.
With this small amount of Dao rhythm, if he were to absorb it, it wouldn't even fill a pore.
It was meaningless.
Qi Sha and Old Demon Chu also opened their eyes one after another.
Qi Sha shook his head, "It doesn't match my Dao. I only walk the path of killing."
"Turning around is also good."
Chen Fan nodded in approval, "Specializing in one path is also excellent."
Everyone had their own path.
As for Old Demon Chu, his demonic path was even less compatible with the Dark Fire.
It was the Great Demon and Qi Yan who were still in the midst of their comprehension.
"Let's wait a while."
"Mm."
...
Outside the Dark Fire Grotto.
"What is that?" Everyone sensed the ignited Dao rhythm.
This power was incredibly strong.
A gasp came from beside them, "Has the Dao rhythm of the Dark Fire Heavenly Emperor been ignited?"
"It should be."
"I really wish I could go in and comprehend it." someone murmured inwardly.
Their tone was full of regret.
This situation was likely caused by the senior's intervention.
Unfortunately, they did not know that Chen Fan had done more than just ignite the Dao rhythm; he had awakened the last trace of the Dark Fire Heavenly Emperor's imprint.
After this, the Dark Fire Grotto would be completely ruined.
Alas, these people could only watch from afar, not daring to enter.
Then... someone, it was unclear who, suddenly turned back and looked at the resentful figure at the back, suddenly cursing, "You bastard Liu Xi, it's all your fault! If you hadn't offended the senior, they certainly wouldn't have minded us entering."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly realized.
That's right.
If Liu Xi hadn't been the first to stand up and scold the Great Demon, they wouldn't have offended the revered senior.
"Liu Xi, you have a feud with the demon race, why drag us into it?"
"Exactly, you couldn't get revenge on the demons yourself, so you resorted to such despicable tricks..."
"I truly look down on you; you're even worse than a demon."
"..."
Listening to the incessant scolding, Liu Xi was dumbfounded.
"???"
He was truly bewildered.
He did have a feud with demons, but wasn't suppressing demons a consensus among everyone?
Just moments ago, they were comrades-in-arms, and now they had turned into righteous individuals looking down on him.
"Are you guys crazy?"
Liu Xi cursed back, "What good guys are you yourselves? Didn't you also stand up just now?"
"I specifically told you to stand up, and now you're pretending to be good people, pfft... what are you?"
Liu Xi didn't back down and retorted directly.
They were all birds of a feather; who was in a position to look down on whom?
He was truly angry.
A group of people were arguing noisily, but no one made a move.
Everyone was afraid of disturbing the senior's comprehension.
...
"They've started arguing." Old Demon Chu was the type who enjoyed watching chaos.
Listening to the clamor outside, he was overjoyed.
"You're so idle."
Qi Sha retorted, but he himself pricked up his ears.
These people were quite competitive amongst themselves.
After about half an hour, the Dao rhythm finally began to slowly dissipate.
This grotto was about to be ruined.
The Great Demon and Qi Yan also woke up one after another.
