Dragon Bastard, I Awaken the Phoenix Chaotic Bloodline

Long Chen, the meanest bastard in the Dragon Clan, numbered 9527. He was trampled into the mud at the blood feast, and was slaughtered like an animal in the arena. Everyone thought he would rot in the cage - until the day he was about to die, the Chaos Bead sleeping in his body cracked the first seal. Phoenix fire, phoenix wings, eye of delusion, nirvana fire... Each seal is the power gained by one life. For every puzzle he solves, the people he cares about will lose one year of their lives. He took Aluan, the medicine boy who depended on him, from the arena all the way into the first sect in Zhongzhou, through Fentian Forbidden Land, and towards Youdu. There are two monsters living in his body - a dragon pattern fragment and a mirror planted by the Faceless Man. They devoured each other, but on the day when the thing in the abyss was broken, they stood side by side to protect the same person for the first time. Aluan was still in the dungeon of Black Rock City, his heartbeat never stopping. In the far north, in Youdu, a dark pillar of light towers into the sky. The sixth seal is right there. "She is alive." He said, "Next stop, Youdu."
