Going It Alone

Based on Quan Yi's senses, he had arrived at the middle of the cave.

The light from the cave entrance has almost completely reached this point.

However, even without the sunlight, the interior space is not visually dark.

The reason for this is the presence of this Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon.

The Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon before them had two horns on its head and four claws on its belly. It was a Red Dragon over a hundred meters tall, and its thick scales shimmered with a faint firelight.

Unlike the sub- Sub-Dragon Species, Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon Beast, that Quan Yi had hunted before, this Dragon Flame Beast is True Dragon with pure blood.

By the light of the fire emanating from its scales, Quan Yi discovered that the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon was lying on the ground, fast asleep with its eyes closed.

The steady, rhythmic snoring vibrated the air inside the cave.

Quan Yi was extremely excited, but he still calmly investigated the situation of the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon.

According to Quan Yi's visual estimation, each of the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon's horns was over nine meters long.

Upon seeing this, Quan Yi thought to himself in surprise, "Based on its length, this Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon is probably between 90,000 and 95,000 years old."

The length of the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon Dragon's pair of sharp horns is the best way to determine its age.

Moreover, its sharp dragon horns, resembling spears, are currently absorbing Fire Element energy from the surrounding area.

Quan Yi, who had transformed into Fire Element particles, could clearly sense that the Fire Element around him were flying towards the pair of dragon horns.

Even he himself could faintly feel the pulling force, but this force was not enough to shake him.

The dragon horn, which contained a massive amount of Fire Element, was the reason that attracted Quan Yi to this place.

Having read this far, Quan Yi had gained some understanding of the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon's situation.

He did not linger, but quietly withdrew and flew back to the direction where Quan Li was as fast as possible.

Upon reappearing, Quan Yi hurriedly said, "Grandpa, I've found it."

A look of delight flashed in Quan Li's eyes, and he quickly asked, "What kind of Soul Beast is it?"

Quan Yi replied, "It is Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon that is about 90,000 to 95,000 years old. It is a True Dragon species with extremely strong Fire-attribute talent. As Soul Ring, there is no more suitable choice than this."

Upon hearing this, Quan Li was initially delighted, but this was quickly overshadowed by worry.

Ninety thousand years ago, many Titled Douluo's Ninth Soul Ring was around this level.

Moreover, the opponent was a powerful True Dragon species, and Quan Yue was worried that he would not be able to kill the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon quickly with his strength.

At this moment, Quan Yi's words shocked Quan Li even more.

"Grandpa, this time Soul Hunting, I want to try fighting the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon all by myself. Grandpa just needs to help me block the entrance to the cave and prevent the enemy from entering."

Quan Li hurriedly asked, "Are you sure? This is Dragon-type Soul Beast that is nearly 100,000 years old. In terms of strength, even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast might not be its match."

"While you're inherently invincible against Fire-attribute Soul Beast, if I remember correctly, doesn't this Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon Dragon's horns possess the ability to absorb Fire-attribute energy? Can your attack quickly defeat the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon without attracting other Soul Beast?"

Quan Yi replied, "According to my observation, this Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon is at a crucial juncture in its cultivation. Judging from the fact that it is sleeping soundly inside the cave during the day, it is currently in seclusion."

Even when they are awake, they may not be able to detect my presence; when they are in a state of cultivation, it is even less likely that they will be able to detect my existence.

If Grandpa were to approach it, it would inevitably alert the snake.

The Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon is a diurnal Soul Beast, sleeping in its lair during the day, which is not in line with its nature.

Based on the assessment of its age, Quan Yi guessed that this Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon was striving to reach the 100,000-year level.

Therefore, it must reduce its physical exertion through sleep and accumulate energy for its breakthrough through its powerful dragon horns.

Quan Yi continued, "As for the issue of attack power that Grandpa is worried about, there's even less to worry about."

Even among identical flames, there are differences in quality.

Arrogance and disdain flashed in Quan Yi's eyes.

As the possessor of the Ultimate Fire, Quan Yi's flames have an absolute suppressive effect on ordinary Fire-attribute Spirit Master or Soul Beast.

Especially after personally experiencing the Fire-attribute energy of the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon in a near-realm situation, Quan Yi gained a clearer understanding of his own flames.

Quan Li saw a domineering aura of arrogance in Quan Yi's eyes.

Three years ago, Quan Yi was still somewhat inexperienced as a Spirit Master, but now, three years later, all he feels from Quan Yi is pure power.

He smiled with satisfaction and said, "Alright, since you're confident, I won't say any more. Let's rest for a while and then set off."

Quan Li chose to believe Quan Yi.

Quan Yi began to sit cross-legged to recover his Soul Power.

If someone could see through Quan Yi's body, they would definitely be able to see the two vermilion round beads that had condensed in Quan Yi's dantian.

These two round beads are the Soul Power Crystal that Quan Yi maintains.

As his Divine Power increased, Quan Yi was able to compress more Soul Power. Without affecting the operation of his body's Soul Power, each of these two Soul Power Crystal contained 100% Soul Power.

As for why there are only two, it's because whenever Quan Yi tries to condense another high-concentration Soul Power Crystal, the other two crystals show signs of becoming uncontrollable.

For the sake of stability and safety, Quan Yi did not conduct any further testing.

Although it's a bit of a pity, Quan Yi still has three times the Soul Power reserve.

For a long time, Quan Yi did not encounter an opponent who could force him to use his Soul Power Crystal.

However, now, facing a 90,000-year-old Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon, he finally has the opportunity to use it.

At noon, Quan Yi and Quan Li, having recovered, arrived at the entrance to the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon's lair.

The pitch-black entrance resembled the gaping maw of Abyss, and the terrifying aura emanating from within stimulated every nerve in Quan Li.

The large and deep opening revealed the size and strength of the digger.

Quan Li looked at the person beside him, whose eyes were gleaming with excitement and who seemed eager to try, and said solemnly, "Go ahead, leave the cave entrance to me."

The presence of the Quan Li not only prevents external enemies from entering, but also prevents the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon from escaping from within.

With Quan Li in charge, Quan Yi had no more worries.

After exchanging glances with Quan Li, he transformed into a ball of flame and drifted into the cave entrance.

This time, however, Quan Yi felt his soul was being invigorated and excited; he hadn't felt such excitement in a long time.

He had long yearned for a thrilling and exhilarating battle.

The drifting flame seemed to be responding to Quan Yi's spirit, becoming unusually active.

This time, Quan Yi did not deliberately conceal his aura, and his powerful aura was fully unleashed.

Deep within the cave, the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon keenly sensed this aura and opened its enormous Dragon Pupil.

"Roar!"

The Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon opened its massive jaws, its throat brimming with intense flames. The next moment, accompanied by a tremendous dragon roar, it spewed flames towards the cave entrance.
