I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

Darkness, endless darkness.

Chu Feng felt as if he had fallen into an abyss where there was no concept of time and space. His body continued to fall, and all he could hear was the howling wind.

The suction force from the abyss was extremely strange; even his cultivation at the seventh level of the Spirit Gathering Realm couldn't completely break free.

"Demoness, what the hell is that down there?" Chu Feng asked in his mind.

"I don't know." The demoness's voice was also somewhat solemn. "But this aura... is ancient, vast, and even much more powerful than that nine-headed beast from before. Little brother, this time, you've probably stirred up a real hornet's nest."

After falling for an unknown amount of time, Chu Feng finally felt his feet touch the ground and landed heavily on the ground.

boom!

He smashed a shallow crater into the hard ground, steadied himself, and looked around.

This place appears to be a vast underground space.

The air was filled with an extremely strong smell of sulfur, as well as a heart-pounding heat.

The entire space was shrouded in a dark red light, and visibility was extremely low.

Chu Feng walked forward cautiously, his feet on the dry, cracked, and scorched earth. All around him was deathly silent, devoid of any sign of life.

After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the dark red light ahead grew increasingly intense.

Soon, he saw the source of the light.

It was a huge lava lake, with golden lava churning within it, radiating terrifyingly high temperatures.

In the center of that lava lake, there is a black reef platform, several tens of feet in circumference.

On the platform, a creature that was entirely black and about the size of an ordinary stray dog ​​was lying there, fast asleep, its body rising and falling with its breath, and two tiny flames spitting out of its nostrils.

The creature looked exactly like a big black dog, only with longer fur and thicker limbs.

"..."

Chu Feng looked at the "black dog" that was sleeping soundly and was speechless for a moment.

He thought there was some ancient, world-destroying beast being suppressed down there, but it turned out to be just a dog.

"Demoness, are you sure this thing is that terrifying existence?" Chu Feng asked, his face full of doubt.

"The aura is definitely coming from it, there's no mistake." The enchantress's voice also carried a hint of uncertainty, "It's just... its appearance is indeed a bit... indescribable."

Seemingly sensing the approach of strangers, the "black dog" that was sleeping on the rocks twitched its ears and then lazily opened its eyes.

It yawned, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, then raised its head and looked at Chu Feng, who was standing by the lava lake.

Eyes facing each other.

"Hey, I say, so you're the monster suppressed down there?" Chu Feng crossed his arms, looking the other person over with interest, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "I thought it was some three-headed, six-armed monster, what a dog!"

Upon hearing this, the "black dog's" sleepy eyes instantly sharpened, and its pupils, burning with golden flames, were instantly filled with endless violence, arrogance, and rage!

"You're the dog! Your whole family are dogs!"

A roar filled with endless rage and fury exploded directly in Chu Feng's mind.

"I am the mighty first divine beast of the Primordial Era, the Fire Qilin!"

"You ignorant human ant, how dare you call me a dog?!"

The "black dog's" voice was filled with supreme authority and furious rage after being humiliated.

"Fire...Fire Qilin?!"

Chu Feng was stunned upon hearing this.

However, before Chu Feng could even be shocked, the enchantress's utterly terrifying scream echoed in his mind.

"Fire... Fire Qilin?! It really is a pure-blooded Primordial Fire Qilin!"

"My God! This is a true ancient top-tier divine beast! Its bloodline purity is even higher than the core direct descendants of the Dragon and Phoenix clans! How could... how could it have turned into this?"

The enchantress's voice was filled with disbelief.

Chu Feng looked at the "black dog" struggling frantically on the altar, only managing to make the chains rattle, his face filled with a strange expression.

"You...are you really a Fire Qilin?"

"Nonsense! It's the real deal!" The fire qilin proudly raised its head, exhaling two streams of scorching air from its nostrils.

"If I hadn't been careless back then and been ambushed by those despicable old bastards, who attacked my very essence, I wouldn't have been imprisoned in this godforsaken place for millions of years, losing even the power to maintain my original form!"

"Little brother, you've really struck gold this time!" The enchantress's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement. "This is a living ancient divine beast! Although it's extremely weak, its essence is still intact! If you can subdue it, you can roam freely not only in the mere Cangxuan Prefecture, but throughout the entire Nine Provinces Continent!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's breathing became somewhat rapid.

Can you tame an ancient mythical beast and make it your subordinate?

This sounds even more prestigious than being an emperor.

"But... this is an ancient divine beast, how could it possibly submit to me?" Chu Feng asked in his heart.

"How will you know if you don't try?" the enchantress urged. "Its very essence is damaged, and it has been imprisoned for so many years. This is the perfect opportunity for you to take advantage of its weakness!"

Chu Feng took a deep breath, his gaze falling once more on the fire qilin. He cleared his throat and spoke slowly.

"Um...dog...no, Brother Qilin."

"I see you trapped here, and it's quite pitiful. How about this: you submit to me, become my master, and I will take you out, what do you say?"

These words were spoken.

The fire qilin was taken aback at first, then seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.

Its proud head tilted back and let out a silent, maniacal laugh, which made the entire lava space tremble violently.

"Ant...you...what did you say?"

"You want me to submit to you?!"

The fire qilin's laughter abruptly stopped, and a raging fire instantly ignited in its golden pupils, as if it wanted to burn Chu Feng to ashes.

"You! Are! Looking! To! Die!"

It suddenly opened its mouth, and a seemingly weak golden flame, yet containing the power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, shot out like an arrow toward Chu Feng's brow!

However, faced with this terrifying attack, Chu Feng neither dodged nor avoided it, but simply moved his mind.

Om-!

A blood-red coffin appeared out of thin air and stood in front of him.

The golden flame, powerful enough to incinerate everything, was completely swallowed up by the blood-red coffin the moment it touched the Burial Coffin, like a river flowing into the sea, without even a ripple.

The arrogant expression on the Fire Qilin's face, filled with rage, froze instantly.

It stared intently at the blood-red coffin suspended in mid-air, its proud beastly eyes now filled with endless shock and horror.

Its body even began to tremble uncontrollably from fear.

"This...this is...the Coffin of Burial to Heaven?!"
