Fourth Uncle

Chapter 572 Cruel Fate

Golden flames ignited on Chen Jin's body!

It was a descendant of the Golden Crow clan!

Flames were nothing to it!

But at this moment, his face was flushed red, and even his clothes had caught fire!

This was no small matter!

"Sir, I... I can't control the divine fire within me!" Chen Jin was in great pain, the flames within him instantly spreading several meters, igniting the surrounding vegetation!

Even the sand beneath his feet was melting at this moment!

"You, you! I just praised you, and you're already causing trouble for me!" Chen Nan gritted his teeth in anger, "You clearly can't control the divine fire within you, so why did you pretend to be strong?"

He knew that Chen Jin was suffering a backlash from the divine fire!

Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened!

Chen Jin's weak eyes held a trace of inexplicable sadness, "I... I just wanted to perform a little better... to earn... to earn your praise, sir!"

He didn't like Chen Nan originally!

But ever since Chen Nan praised him once!

Although his words remained somewhat frivolous!

His attitude towards Chen Nan had changed!

Because he knew that no matter how well he performed, his father would never praise him!

But Sir was different!

Even though he didn't quite like him, he wouldn't hesitate to offer his praise!

"Sir, I... I think I'm going to die soon..." Chen Jin's body began to crack, like parched earth splitting open, golden flames erupting from the fissures!

His entire being looked as if it would shatter with a single touch!

This scene made everyone anxious, breaking out in a cold sweat for him!

But no one knew what to do!

Even Chen Nan was helpless!

He couldn't resolve a divine fire backlash!

"Sir... I'm sorry... I've done something that has wronged you..." He managed a weak smile and said faintly, "But I... I truly did it for your... consideration!"

With that, he closed his eyes and collapsed to the ground, falling into a coma!

And at this moment!

Its true form had already appeared!

A jet-black Golden Crow!

Chen Nan was extremely anxious!

He had experienced the power of the divine fire before!

Back then, Chen Jin had only released a small amount of divine fire and had burned his right hand, let alone now that he was suffering a divine fire backlash!

The power of the divine fire was now far more potent than before!

"Forget it, I'll take the gamble!"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Nan circulated his merit power and pressed it directly onto Chen Jin's forehead!

Because he knew that the divine fire was emanating from his soul!

He didn't know if his merit power could extinguish Chen Jin's divine fire!

At this point, he could only try!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The divine fire burned fiercely, turning Chen Nan's arm red in an instant, the skin peeling and flesh torn, a horrific sight!

Even with the merit power by his side, the flames of the Golden Crow clan were exceptionally terrifying!

Blood flowed from his arm and landed on Chen Jin's body!

Wherever the blood touched, the divine fire was extinguished!

Chen Nan was overjoyed and immediately channeled his blood, pouring it onto Chen Jin, extinguishing the flames on its body!

"Fortunately, this fellow's true form isn't large. If it were a thousand feet long, even with all my blood, I wouldn't be able to extinguish its flames!"

Chen Nan let out a wry smile!

Jin Biao asked, "Sir, the divine fire on Chen Jin has been extinguished, but why hasn't it woken up?"

Chen Nan shook his head!

Cai Feng let out a tender female voice, "Chen Jin's divine soul has been severely injured. It's currently in self-hibernation. As for when it will wake up, it depends on its fortune!"

"If it's lucky, it might awaken its bloodline talent when it wakes up. If it can grow a third leg, that would be amazing!"

"In all the world, only one type of bird can surpass the Golden Crow clan!"

Chen Nan was surprised, "There are birds that can surpass the Golden Crow clan?"

Cai Feng nodded, "We birds have ten super bird species, and the Golden Crow clan can only rank second. The one ranked first is the legendary Nine Phoenix!"

"Legend has it that the Nine Phoenix has nine heads and is the king of all birds!"

This answer greatly surprised Chen Nan!

Because he had read the introductions to the myriad races in the immortal realm, and in his understanding, the Golden Crow was ranked first!

He hadn't expected there to be a Nine Phoenix!

Whoosh!

Accompanied by a faint whistling sound, Hei Yan appeared by the river like a phantom!

Looking at his unconscious son, he frowned, "He fell unconscious right after coming out. So disappointing, it's a disgrace to my father! What a pathetic thing!"

"Brother Hei Yan, your son is actually quite outstanding!" Chen Nan sighed inwardly!

If Hei Yan were a qualified father, perhaps Chen Jin would have awakened his bloodline inheritance long ago!

And wouldn't have suffered such a calamity!

Hei Yan waved his hand, "Brother Chen Nan, you don't need to speak up for him. I know what kind of person he is better than you! In my eyes, he's like rotten wood to humans. Rotten wood that cannot be carved, that's what he is!"

"So, this guy probably can't train with you anymore, right?"

"Since that's the case, I'll take him back!" He then grabbed Chen Jin by the neck and disappeared from everyone's sight as if he were carrying a chick!

Chen Nan was utterly bewildered, "Is he really Chen Jin's father?"

Yin Luan said in a low voice, "As far as I know, the parent-child relationship among the Golden Crow clan is generally very poor!"

"This involves their race, it's very complicated, you wouldn't understand if I explained it!"

Chen Nan rolled his eyes at him, "From what I see, you don't understand either, do you?"

The others burst into laughter, saying Yin Luan was pretending to know things he didn't.

"I..." Yin Luan's face turned red with embarrassment. He said angrily, "Sir, if you say that, then your student must give you a lesson!"

"Actually, most father-son relationships in the Golden Crow clan are quite good!"

"But there is one type of father-son relationship that is very poor!"

"That is the relationship between fathers and sons who possess pure Golden Crow bloodline within them!"

"After all, Golden Crows are divine beasts, rare divine beasts in this world. At most, only two can appear in the world simultaneously!"

"Let's talk about Senior Hei Yan and his son!"

"Chen Jin's bloodline has mutated and is even purer than his father's. He has a high chance of awakening his bloodline inheritance and transforming into a true Three-legged Golden Crow!"

"However, to transform into a true Golden Crow divine beast, he needs a wick. Only this wick can ignite the inheritance within him!"

"And this wick is Senior Hei Yan!"

"In other words, if Chen Jin can truly awaken his bloodline inheritance, the price will be the loss of his father!"

Chen Nan's heart trembled!

He never expected the Golden Crow clan to be so cruel!

He had misunderstood Hei Yan!

He was not an unreasonable father!

It was just that he had no choice but to do so!

He swallowed, "Does Brother Hei Yan also know about this? That's why he deliberately acted so indifferent and impatient towards Chen Jin?"

Yin Luan nodded solemnly, "Yes, only when Chen Jin resents Senior Hei Yan can he resolutely ignite the wick!"

"Although this is cruel to Chen Jin, he will understand Senior Hei Yan's difficulties once he becomes a Three-legged Golden Crow!"

"But, this is his destiny!"

Chen Nan's gaze was complex as he looked towards the ancient, towering tree a thousand miles away!

"I hope my merit power doesn't trigger the young one's bloodline inheritance!"

"If that were to happen, he would be in great pain, wouldn't he?"
