"A True Dragon?" The three girls' breathing quickened.
Ye Lingling asked, "Does that mean we're not far from the Dragon Tomb?"
Shi Quan nodded, "It should be. Although it's unclear how strong this Blazing Fire Dragon is among the True Dragon Souls, if we just keep following the Blazing Fire Dragon's direction, we should be able to reach the Dragon Tomb."
Ye Lingling calmly asked, "Shi Quan, are we going around it, or…?"
"No, we're not." Shi Quan shook his head directly and said, "True Dragon Souls are different from ordinary Dragon Souls. They possess pure Dragon Clan Bloodline Power. Their Soul Power is definitely not weaker than the Dragon Cloud on the plains before. Absorbing it will also bring considerable benefits. Since we've encountered it, we naturally can't let it go."
"Moreover, when we enter the Dragon Tomb later, we'll definitely have to fight True Dragon Souls. We can also take this opportunity to properly understand the strength gap between True Dragon Souls and ordinary Dragon Souls."
With that, Shi Quan took a step forward, "You wait here, I'll go play with it."
"Ang—" Just then, an impassioned Dragon roar sounded. Immediately after, the Blazing Fire Dragon in the distance suddenly raised its head, flapped its wings, and flew straight towards them.
Xuanyuan, as one, flew directly towards the Blazing Fire Dragon in the sky.
The Blazing Fire Dragon flapped its wings, looked at the golden light flying towards it, opened its mouth, and a huge fireball shot straight out.
The fireball rapidly expanded in size in the air. By the time it collided with Xuanyuan, it was already two meters in diameter, and its scorching temperature distorted the surrounding space.
Boom!
A violent roar erupted in the sky, and a powerful shockwave directly blasted Xuanyuan away, with a wave of heat pressing towards Shi Quan.
"Such strong flames." Shi Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand, and Xuanyuan returned to his grasp, while the Holy Dragon Eight Spears behind him unfurled.
A powerful devouring ability instantly erupted, and the surrounding heatwaves immediately dissipated.
However, the Blazing Fire Dragon's attack in the air did not stop in the slightest. It continuously spat out fireballs, one after another, which constantly grew in size as they pressed towards Shi Quan.
He raised his hand and gripped Xuanyuan, watching the continuous fireballs, his figure nimbly dodging.
He looked up at the fierce Blazing Fire Dragon Soul in the air, and a golden light flashed in Shi Quan's eyes. The golden radiance of the Holy Dragon Eight Spears intertwined with Xuanyuan, "Get down here, you bastard!"
As he spoke, a brilliant golden radiance erupted from Xuanyuan, and a domineering mental fluctuation burst forth with it.
The powerful golden aura transformed into a phantom of the Human Emperor, and behind the phantom, a golden Sacred Dragon coiled.
A furious roar, shaking the four fields, like an boundless holy decree.
The might of the Human Emperor, heaven and earth trembled.
The Blazing Fire Dragon in the sky, which was about to continue spitting fireballs, suddenly paused, then its wings trembled, and it fell out of thin air.
The Dragon Spine's Emperor's Might Spirit Ability consumes mental force, so it can be used even within this Dragon Valley.
If it were purely Emperor's Might, perhaps it wouldn't have such a stunning effect, but when Shi Quan released Emperor's Might, he also brought with it the Bloodline aura of the Sacred Dragon, the head of all Dragons. With the combination of Bloodline pressure and the might of the Human Emperor, the Blazing Fire Dragon fell directly from the sky like that.
Shi Quan took advantage of the situation and stepped out, flying like a cannonball towards where the Blazing Fire Dragon was falling, holding Dragon Spine Xuanyuan in his hand, and with the Holy Dragon Eight Spears also unfurled behind him.
"Boom—" The Blazing Fire Dragon plunged into the forest, smashing into a patch of large trees. It was completely disoriented.
Shi Quan descended from the sky, pointing Xuanyuan forward. With a push off the ground from the Holy Dragon Eight Spears behind him, he instantly reached directly above the Blazing Fire Dragon.
The Blazing Fire Dragon flapped its wings, struggling to stand up, but in its eyes, where Soul flames flickered, a clear sense of fear was evident.
Facing the suppression of the Human Emperor's might and the Sacred Dragon's aura, even a powerful and vigorous Dragon Soul like it was unable to muster any Battle Intent for a moment.
"Puff—" Dragon Spine Xuanyuan pierced into the Blazing Fire Dragon's head. Almost simultaneously, the Holy Dragon Eight Spears behind him also pierced in.
Immediately, Shi Quan felt countless scorching energies surge into his sacred body through Dragon Spine Xuanyuan and the Holy Dragon Eight Spears.
"Such intense Dragon Soul energy." Shi Quan thought to himself. Compared to the Dragon Cloud, the power of this True Dragon Soul gave him a feeling of physical enhancement.
The Blazing Fire Dragon's body gradually became illusory. Xuanyuan and the Holy Dragon Eight Spears absorbed its scorching energy, gradually turning golden-red. Xuanyuan didn't change much, but the intricate Dragon scales on the Holy Dragon Eight Spears emitted a faint fiery red glow. The power of the Holy Dragon Eight Spears seemed to be stimulated, showing a tendency to evolve.
"Is the Sacred Dragon's Bloodline beginning to Awaken by absorbing the True Dragon's Bloodline Power? Or perhaps Yu Xiaogang's Sacred Dragon Bloodline was incomplete to begin with, and is now being supplemented?"
Shi Quan pondered as he watched the Blazing Fire Dragon beneath him gradually dissipate.
At the same time, he also stored a portion of the True Dragon Soul's power within the Holy Dragon Eight Spears, intending to share it with the three girls.
"The power of this True Dragon Soul is so strong; I feel like one of them is worth more than ten Dragon Clouds."
After absorbing the power of the True Dragon Soul, the three girls immediately started chattering, and besides the True Dragon Soul, they naturally discussed the Spirit Ability Shi Quan had just released.
They continued to move forward in the direction where the Blazing Fire Dragon Soul had been.
With Xiao Meng's Spirit Sense scouting ahead, they could detect the location of Dragon Souls from afar.
As the four continued to delve deeper, the number of Dragon Souls they encountered did not increase but decreased, but each time they encountered a Dragon Soul, it was a True Dragon Soul.
The power of the True Dragon Souls was immense, and Shi Quan did not let the three girls go forward and risk it. After all, if they got injured, without the aid of spirit power, it would be quite troublesome to recover.
The Dragon Spine's Emperor's Might Spirit Ability demonstrated its extremely powerful effect at this time. Coupled with the Sacred Dragon Bloodline, even True Dragon Souls would instantly give up resistance under Shi Quan's Emperor's Might.
They continued forward, and when Shi Quan hunted and absorbed the ninth True Dragon Soul, his Holy Dragon Eight Spears also underwent significant changes. The Dragon scales on the surface of the Dragon Spears became more intricate and smooth, the golden color became brighter, and their length increased to five meters. Their hardness, attack strength, and devouring ability all showed clear improvements.
Shi Quan could also confirm that the Holy Dragon Eight Spears could continuously evolve by devouring True Dragon Souls, and as he devoured, Shi Quan wasn't sure if it was his own illusion, but he felt that the ability of Emperor's Might had also become much stronger.
"First hills, then plains, then forests, and now we have to climb mountains. I wonder where this Dragon Tomb actually is."
At this moment, they had already reached the edge of the forest. Looking at the towering mountain in front of them, Dugu Yan couldn't help but complain.
"Can't walk anymore?" Shi Quan said with a smile.
"No, not really, just a little curious."
Shi Quan looked at the mountain in front of him. For some reason, he suddenly had a premonition that beyond this mountain was their destination for this trip.
"Boss, behind this mountain is a huge valley, mixed with many special auras." Shukaku's voice also came at this moment.
"A valley?" Shi Quan's eyes lit up, then he looked at the three girls and said, "Perhaps our destination is right in front of us."
"I'll take you up." Shi Quan placed the three girls on the Holy Dragon Eight Spears and controlled the remaining Dragon Spears to rush towards the peak of the mountain.
Crack, crack.
The Dragon Spears pierced into the mountain, and the steep terrain of the mountain had no effect on Shi Quan whatsoever.
In just a moment, the group of four reached the summit of the mountain.
When the four saw the scene before them, they couldn't help but tremble all over.
Their location was the side peak of a valley. The valley was completely collapsed inwards; more than a valley, it resembled a basin.
Looking out, the valley below stretched endlessly, and in the distance, the twilight was heavy, with faint mists vaguely visible.
But in that thousand-meter-deep valley, countless huge skeletons covered every corner of the valley.
The moment Shi Quan reached the edge of the valley and looked inside, he could feel an incomparable sense of sorrow coming from the Holy Dragon Eight Spears behind him.
"Shi Quan, is this valley the Dragon Tomb?" Ye Lingling asked, her eyes filled with shock.
"Mm." Shi Quan suppressed the grief coming from the Dragon Spears and nodded in response.
"This Dragon Tomb is so strange, looking at it always makes me feel a sense of discomfort in my heart." Dugu Yan raised her hand to cover her heart, but for some reason, her eyes were a little red.
"I feel the same way." Zhu Zhuqing, who was beside her, also nodded and said.
"Me too." Ye Lingling also felt the same.
Shi Quan frowned slightly upon hearing this, as if he had thought of something, and said, "It might be because you absorbed a large amount of Dragon Soul power, which caused your bodies to be tainted with some Dragon Clan Bloodline."
"This Dragon Tomb is the Dragon Clan's burial ground. These True Dragons are buried here, and before their deaths, they carried an extremely strong sense of unwillingness and sorrow. Because of the Dragon Clan Bloodline Power within you, you are experiencing this special feeling."
"So that's how it is." Dugu Yan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, feeling the sorrow welling up in her heart, like a large stone pressing down on her heart.
Shi Quan looked at the three girls' slightly reddened eyes and said, "We'll go down after you've adjusted your emotions."
"Okay!"
After waiting for a few minutes, the sorrow in the three girls' hearts seemed to dissipate.
"Then let's go." Seeing that the three girls had almost recovered, Shi Quan motioned for them to grasp the Dragon Spears tightly, then led them in a sudden leap.
Shi Quan carried the three girls as they descended into the thousand-meter-deep basin. When they were less than a hundred meters from the ground, Shi Quan finally moved.
His figure half-turned in the air, facing the valley wall, and four of the Dragon Spears suddenly thrust out, piercing into the stone wall, making continuous scraping and intersecting sounds. The downward momentum was completely negated by the Dragon Spears one by one. By the time Shi Quan stabilized his figure, he was less than ten meters from the ground.
With a light leap, the ten-meter distance was covered in an instant.
The moment they landed, a desolate scent wafted from all directions, as if to solidify one's mind.
All four of them seemed to hear the mournful cries of countless giant Dragons.
This was the Dragon Tomb!
