Chapter 958: Blue Flame Stone, Black Lotus (Second update, requesting everything)

If one were to measure the Five-Colored Dragon by combat power, one Red Dragon is equivalent to 1.4 Blue Dragons, 1.6 Green Dragons, 1.8 Black Dragons, or 2.5 White Dragons.

The reason for such a large gap, aside from their inherent strength, is that one must also consider the White Dragon's pitiful brain capacity...

Being at the bottom of the strength rankings is one thing, but being stupid is the key; this is also the main reason why the title of Dragon Clan Shame is pinned on the White Dragon.

After recalling his Spirit Beasts and giant dragons, Li Zhangsheng returned to the Natural Fortress and temporarily moved into the most magnificent palace; there is no need to mention the service, as security was handled according to the specifications for an Emperor.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng arrived in the bedroom and couldn't wait to open his Dimensional Bag to inspect the Demon Commander's collection.

As usual, most of it consisted of Magic Stones and products from the Abyss.

Among them were some items from other planes, but there were no products from the Fairy World; after all, this Demon Commander was entering the Fairy World for the first time and had been finished off by Li Zhangsheng before he could even begin to sweep through.

Among these, there were over a dozen pieces of Heavenly Essence Grade items and one Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure.

These items were primarily Fire Element treasures, many of which were products of the Burning Plane.

"This should be the Blue Flame Stone from the Burning Plane."

Among these dozen-plus Heavenly Essence Grade treasures, Li Zhangsheng picked up a blue ore; the surface temperature of this ore was slightly higher than boiling water, but Li Zhangsheng was not affected in the slightest—let alone this bit of heat, he would be fine even if it were several times higher.

Blue Flame Stone is the most famous specialty of the Burning Plane; this is information Li Zhangsheng learned from the memories of the Treasure King.

In order to obtain information about the Abyss, there are always some Kings or even Double-Character Kings who choose to enter the Abyss to collect information from various levels and then feed it back, so that more Stronger individuals can have a better understanding of the Abyss and avoid being at too much of a disadvantage regarding information.

Among this information were records of the Blue Flame Stone; it is a top-tier Heavenly Essence Grade Fire-type material. As long as a certain amount is added when refining Fire-type Strange Treasures or Treasures, it can strengthen their power, specifically depending on the rank.

Aside from the Blue Flame Stone being somewhat useful, he either did not recognize the rest of the Heavenly Essence items, or they were of no use to Li Zhangsheng at all, and could only be used as gifts or for trade.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng picked up the only Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade item.

This was a miniature black lotus platform with five layers, faintly flickering with black light; Li Zhangsheng could feel the intense Demonic Qi contained within the black lotus.

After testing it, Li Zhangsheng discovered that this Black Lotus was similar to the Star Palace Lotus Platform and the Kui Water Black Lotus, except its energy was composed of Demonic Qi.

It was obvious that this Black Lotus was a treasure unique to the Abyss, and it was unknown how the Demon Commander had obtained it.

Due to the Demonic Qi, even if Li Zhangsheng could use the Black Lotus, it would be difficult to unleash its power.

For Li Zhangsheng, this Black Lotus was useless and did not have much trade value either.

Although it reached the Top-tier Heaven and Earth Wonder grade, no one could use it; only demons could meet the conditions.

Simply put, the Black Lotus had the rank but lacked much trade value.

"If the Demonic Qi were removed, what kind of changes would occur?"

Li Zhangsheng was silent for a long while, this thought appearing in his mind, and he prepared to send this treasure containing a large amount of Demonic Qi into the Gate of Light and Darkness.

After the Black Lotus was thrown into the Gate of Light and Darkness, the Gate of Heaven immediately began to operate, and countless milky-white rays of light instantly enveloped the Black Lotus.

Under the purification of the Light-type energy, the Black Lotus trembled violently, manifesting rich Demonic Qi as it tried to resist the Light-type energy.

Unfortunately, the Gate of Light and Darkness is a Zifu Qizhen grade treasure, and there is an essential gap between it and the Fifth-rank Black Lotus; plus, with no one controlling it, it only resisted for a fleeting moment before declaring failure.

Under the purification of the special Light-type energy, the Demonic Qi of the Black Lotus was rapidly purified.

"Huh!"

Unexpectedly, while purifying it deeply, Li Zhangsheng, by relying on the Gate of Light and Darkness, actually sensed that the core area of the Black Lotus contained Abyss Consciousness, and there seemed to be quite a lot of it.

Crack! Crack!

The next moment, the Fifth-rank Black Lotus broke into two halves; because the Demonic Qi was completely purified, it changed from its original black color to white.

In addition to this, there was also a mass of Abyss Consciousness the size of a fist.

Compared to the Abyss Consciousness leaking from the Abyss Gate, Li Zhangsheng found that this mass of Abyss Consciousness was easier to purify.

In terms of quantity, this mass of Abyss Consciousness was roughly equivalent to half a month's output from the Abyss Gate, but perhaps it would take less than a day to complete the purification.

This was definitely an unexpected surprise; in these hundreds of years of war with the Abyss, many Stronger individuals must have captured similar treasures. It was just that due to the Demonic Qi and Abyss Consciousness, such treasures were useless to them, and might not even be as important as a piece of Heavenly Essence.

Since it was easier to refine the Abyss Consciousness inside the treasures, Li Zhangsheng felt he could fully utilize this point to collect a large number of similar treasures, thereby obtaining World Power and Merit Profound Yellow Qi.

At this moment, as Li Zhangsheng's intent moved, the Black Lotus, split into two halves, flew out of the Gate of Light and Darkness and landed in Li Zhangsheng's palm.

At first glance, Li Zhangsheng found there was no energy reaction; after checking it, he discovered that the purified Black Lotus was equivalent to a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade material, and it still possessed some of the characteristics of the Black Lotus.

In terms of value, the value of a Strange Treasure far exceeds that of materials of the same rank, but because the Black Lotus can only be activated by demons, the purified material actually has a higher value.

Of course, if one were to go to the Abyss, the value of the Black Lotus could be realized.

"Right, I almost forgot about this treasure!"

Li Zhangsheng seemed to remember something and took a Glazed Bottle out of his Space Ring; this Glazed Bottle was a trophy he had seized from an assassin demon of Demon Commander rank. Its grade reached the Low-Grade World Wonder level, and it possessed the function of collecting and storing souls, with other effects unknown.

Similar to the Black Lotus, the Glazed Bottle also contained a large amount of Demonic Qi, and its quality and quantity were even better.

If there were no accidents, the core of the Glazed Bottle must contain even more Abyss Consciousness.

Ever since he obtained the Glazed Bottle, Li Zhangsheng had tried to study it, but he had no gains; after all, he was not a demon and had no Demonic Qi to activate the Glazed Bottle.

Because of this, although the Glazed Bottle was a Low-Grade World Wonder, it was useless to Li Zhangsheng, and it would be more in his interest to use it for purification.

After throwing the Glazed Bottle into the Gate of Light and Darkness, the Gate of Heaven diverted a portion of its power and began to purify the Demonic Qi of the Glazed Bottle.

The grade of the Glazed Bottle was higher than the Black Lotus, but it was still within the purification range of the Gate of Light and Darkness; however, because the quantity of Demonic Qi was more Pure, the purification speed was actually more than a notch slower.

While waiting, Li Zhangsheng's consciousness entered the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings and transmitted a message to the King Throne where Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun was located.
