Against Heaven's Will

Chapter 316 Dragon Pit

By the time Dragon Queen left the Sacred Altar with the elders, Xuefeng has fully integrated with his new Dragon Bloodline. The benefits didn't only include increased defense and overall dexterity but also a new passive Bloodline Ability that he was welcome to accept.

'So you are saying I can shapeshift into a Dragon and use all Elements instead of just fire?' Xuefeng questioned in his mind as he was tempted to try it.

'You can but you won't be as mobile. You are actually stronger now compared to your Dragon form since all the power is condensed in your smaller body. You can also keep using your Elvish Bloodline Ability as well as your human Spirit Arts,' Ming explained. 'The main benefit comes to the increased affinity to all Elements. Normal Dragons are only strong in one or two elements like Katherine with her Golden Lightning but you are different. Having a pure Dragon Bloodline boosts your power in all nine Elements.'

'Whoa, no wonder Dragons used to be one of the top powerhouses,' Xuefeng commented as he clenched his fists. 'I like my Elvish body more anyway so it's for the better. My Elemental Bracelet will enjoy the additional strength of my Elements.'

"Are you ready to leave? I'm done," Dragon Queen announced as she arrived by Xuefeng's side. "They are now under Blood Pact and they will lose their Bloodline if they betray their Queen again."

"Won't that kill them?" Xuefeng wondered curiously as he gazed at the six elders with unsightly expressions.

"Technically no since we all have some of the Human Bloodline in order to turn into human form. They would still become useless though since they never Cultivated and they would be mortal again," Dragon Queen pointed out which made Xuefeng think about another problem.

Now that he had a Dragon Bloodline, his lifespan was almost endless while some of his wives were still mortal. Unless he acquired strong Bloodlines for them, they would eventually grow old and die. He definitely couldn't let that happen.

"I see. Lead the way then, we already wasted enough time," Xuefeng suggested but Dragon Queen wasn't in a hurry. She first walked up in front of him while keeping eye contact before walking right past him with her hips swaying left and right.

Xuefeng just couldn't look away from her curvy bottom and could only curse at his Bloodline internally. Dragon Queen seemed to know the side effect of a pure Bloodline and began using it against him. Even the elders were speechless at her behavior but they didn't dare to comment anything.

"Before we reach the Dragon Pit, I need to warn you first," Dragon Queen instructed on the way. "The Earth Flame is extremely dangerous and its actually a conscious being. It will attack anyone who it doesn't recognize so we need to proceed with caution. Many have died after being sucked into the Dragon Pit."

Dragon Queen gazed at Xuefeng's body and added, "Your pure Dragon Bloodline and immunity to flames can almost guarantee your success but if you want to take the Earth Flame for someone else, they would need to be acknowledged by it. That's the only way to avoid hurting the Earth Flame which I need for my future plans. I won't let you take all of it."

"I only need just enough for two people," Xuefeng replied before thinking about the rest of his wives. "Actually, is there a way to feed and grow the Earth Flame to share it with even more people afterward?"

"The Earth Flame feeds of Fire Qi inside the Realm. My Dragon Realm has an abundant Fire Essence underground which helps sustain it," Dragon Queen explained with a sigh. "Unfortunately it is not enough to grow the Earth Flame. You would need enormous amounts of Qi to actually expand the Earth Flame and let it regenerate its strength."

"That's perfect," Xuefeng acknowledged with a mysterious smile. He knew a place with enough Fate Stones that could help him grow the Earth Flame back to its full glory.

Xuefeng's main scheme was actually appeasing his wives' wrath the moment they find out about his condition.

'Lisa, you are safe to come out now,' Xuefeng announced in his mind and a blond beauty appeared in his arms the very next second. She didn't hesitate to hug his neck tightly and her lips melted into his own with a long greeting.

"You look excited," Xuefeng commented with a loving smile.

"Because I am. It has been a dream of mine to have an Earth Flame since I was little," Lisa replied happily. "I will be finally able to make my first Godly Pill and I can't wait to try it."

Lisa then paused as if something bothered her and she leaned into his ear to ask in a whisper, "Is it true that you no longer find us attractive…?"

"Of course not," Xuefeng denied right away as he hugged her waist tighter. "You are my wife and I will always love you. All of you are the most attractive to me."

Xuefeng could still feel like he wants to care for the little angel in his arms but Lisa exposed him quickly. "That why is your hand not touching my butt? You didn't even try to grope me and you never missed the chance to feel my body all over. You always held me from the bottom when flying together too."

Xuefeng immediately froze at her words as he didn't even realize it earlier. Was he really that perverted in the past? He never paid attention to his actions since it was always natural then why did it change? He only thought of holding Lisa and he grabbed her waist on instinct.

"I guess what Ming said was true. Maybe you find us attractive but we can't make you horny with our looks alone," Lisa pointed out before assuring as she noticed his hand trying to fix his mistakes. "Don't worry, you don't need to try too hard. It is not really your fault so I understand. Just make sure you show us love and you will be good."

"I love you," Xuefeng muttered as he kissed her again and Lisa responded with the same. It was frustrating to suddenly lose the naughty side of him, but he wouldn't leave it be.

Dragon Queen has been watching the whole interaction from afar and simply pursed her lips as she led the way in silence. The scenery was already changing into a red and dusty plane which was a sign of the Dragon Pit being close.

They soon spotted a mountain range in the distance with multiple Dragon guards patrolling the airspace. The guards flew to intercept when they got too close but quickly backed away after seeing it was the Dragon Queen.

The goal of their small trip was right ahead and its sight was marvelous from the sky. The black Earth Flame was bursting out from a gigantic hole in the middle of the mountain and it looked more like an entrance to hell. The space around the hole was all filled with dragon eggs which was probably the reason for the Dragon Pit's name.

"We have arrived. That is the place where all Dragons are born," Dragon Queen announced as she landed right at the entrance to the Dragon Pit. "They are being bathed in the flames of the Earth Flame for a full month before they are allowed to hatch. It strengthens their Dragon Bloodline and tempers their bodies."

"That's impressive," Xuefeng commented as he couldn't even count every dragon egg in sight and turned to Lisa. "Do you want to go first?"

As soon as he spoke, the Earth Flame exploded with its burning force as if it knew their plans. They quickly backed away as Xuefeng protected Lisa from the heat until the Earth Flame finally calmed down.

It was a clear sign they were not welcome.
