• Dragon Souls of many attributes gathered above Burial Dragon Star as ten thousand dragons took flight.

Situ Xuan faced the Dragon Souls on Burial Dragon Star after Vasha marked them with obedience and strengthened them with the Dragon Cloud. He fought the attacking dragons with his fists and feet, leaving the battle still raging.

• Situ Xuan roared with Malevolent Qi, drawing the Dragon Souls’ attention away from their memories.

• Situ Xuan tore through the Wind, Poison, Golden, Wood, Water, and other Dragon Souls with his bare hands and feet.
• The Dragon Souls repeatedly re-formed, but each return grew slower and weaker as Burial Dragon Star's energy was consumed.
• Situ Xuan defeated the re-formed Dragon Souls until fewer than half their original strength remained, and many vanished entirely.
• After less than half an hour, Burial Dragon Star fell quiet, with scattered dragon bones and thinning Dragon Clouds across the star.
• Situ Xuan said the battle had not been satisfying enough because the Dragon Souls were too weak to offer an evenly matched fight.
• Vasha appeared beside Situ Xuan and asked whether he had enjoyed himself; he chuckled and tapped his foot against the ground.
