Dilin

"Lin Feng, I've already taken care of that big, clumsy bear. It's time for you to keep your promise and take me to the human world for a stroll, right?" Sadius had been stuck in this subterranean cavern for hundreds of years and was utterly bored. Now that she had finally stepped into the Saint-level, she naturally wanted to go outside and see the world.

"No rush. There is one more thing I need to retrieve, and then we'll leave." Lin Feng walked smilingly toward the center of the cavern.

"This Violet Blood Soft Sword must be taken. Besides, without taking it, Dilin wouldn't be able to escape from the Gebada Plane. Without Dilin, this Yulan continent would lose a lot of its fun."

Lin Feng's right hand was instantly covered in fine, black dragon scales, and he punched directly toward the ceiling of the cavern.

With a "bang," the rocks shattered and rained down.

A massive, black circular platform was revealed at the top of the cave, embedded into the ceiling. At this moment, parts of the platform were still obscured by stone, but it was clear that Lin Feng's attack had caused enough debris to fall to expose a portion of the black surface.

"What is this?" Sadius looked at the black platform and the purple sword embedded within it with confusion.

"A magic array," Lin Feng explained with a faint smile.

"A magic array? How is that possible? How could there be such a powerful magic array? Even I feel a tremor just from its aura." Sadius stared at the complex, massive array, her expression one of disbelief.

"This magic array is used to seal the Gebada Plane," Lin Feng replied to Sadius's question while sensing the magic array and the Violet Blood Soft Sword.

"The Gebada Plane? What is that?" Although Sadius was quite old, she was at most one or two thousand years of age, and having lived in this valley since birth, she had naturally never heard of the Gebada Plane.

"The Gebada Plane is a prison for gods, a place used to lock up criminal gods."

After answering, Lin Feng squeezed out a drop of blood and flicked it toward the Violet Blood Soft Sword.

The purple longsword, covered in dust and sealed away for who knows how long, seemed to act like a sponge the moment the drop of blood touched it. It easily absorbed the blood, and simultaneously, with a "hum," the sword began to vibrate and emit a ringing sound.

The dust coating its surface was completely shaken off. A strange, eerie blood-red light began to flow across the surface of the purple sword, as if fresh blood were coursing through it. Sensing that the blood-binding had been successful, Lin Feng leaped up, grabbed the purple longsword, and pulled it out with a violent tug. "Clang!" A crisp, clear sword chime rang out, seemingly filled with endless joy.

Lin Feng knew that once he pulled out the Violet Blood Soft Sword, Dilin would soon emerge, so he had no time to study this divine sword. He tossed the Violet Blood Soft Sword directly into his Space Ring.

"Sadius, let's go!"

Lin Feng charged directly toward the underground tunnel he had arrived through. Beibei also leaped onto Lin Feng's shoulder in a flash.

Although Sadius didn't know what was happening, she trusted Lin Feng's words implicitly. A black shadow flickered as she dashed out of the cavern and into the tunnel.

Above the Misty Valley, mist swirled, and the dragons that had previously been circling and playing above had mostly descended to the ground to rest, with only a few exceptions. However, without exception, they all stayed far away from that small mountain.

The tunnel beneath that small mountain was a forbidden zone!

These dragons still remembered that the poor human from a few days ago had charged into that forbidden zone. Surely, that poor human must have been killed by now.

"Whoosh!"

A black phantom suddenly shot out from the underground tunnel and then sped off toward the west.

"What was that?" Over a hundred dragons noticed the humanoid phantom.

"Roar!"

The hundred-plus dragons immediately became enraged.

A human had actually dared to enter the territory of the dragon race! One dragon after another spread their leathery wings to pursue Lin Feng. However, Lin Feng's speed was simply too fast now. Even the largest Fire Dragon could only watch as Lin Feng's figure grew smaller and smaller, disappearing from their sight in the blink of an eye.

"Hmph, you flying dragons, just wait to become food for Dilin's children." Lin Feng glanced back at the dragons he had already left behind and then swept out of the Misty Valley.

Although the Spined Iron-Armored Dragon did not have the wings of the flying dragons, she had stepped into the Saint-level and naturally possessed the ability to fly. She followed Lin Feng out of the valley.

Inside the underground cavern, on the black circular platform, the mysterious magic array—with its incredibly complex markings—began to glow gradually. It was as if a stream of bright silver liquid were flowing through every line of the array, and soon, the entire mysterious magic array was glowing with a blinding light.

"Boom!"

A low, rumbling sound echoed out, and the light of the mysterious magic array became even more blinding. The rumbling grew more frequent and urgent: "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The sounds echoed like a continuous drumbeat, and the mysterious magic array trembled violently.

"Crack." The black circular platform, made of an unknown material, suddenly split, showing three fissures.

Once the black platform cracked with three lines, the light of the entire mysterious magic array began to flicker incessantly. The rumbling sound seemed to be encouraged, becoming even more high-pitched and rapid: "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The sounds intensified like a heavy rainstorm until, with a "bang," the entire black circular platform shattered. The mysterious magic array, which had used the platform as its carrier, was naturally destroyed. Visible ripples of space began to spread out in all directions, centered on the point of the explosion.

The group of dragons in the Misty Valley were still confused about the humanoid monster from earlier when they suddenly felt the earth tremble. Every dragon felt a sense of dread and immediately spread their wings to take flight. In just an instant, "Boom!"

The surrounding area for several miles exploded violently, and the small mountain that had blocked the underground tunnel was pulverized into dust.

"Roar~" A low, deep roar came from beneath the ground.

Where the black circular platform had once been, the space was torn open like a sheet of white paper, revealing a large rift. A handsome, eerily beautiful young man wearing dark golden robes, hunched over and shielding three little kittens in his arms, quickly rushed out from the large rift.

At this moment, the young man looked somewhat disheveled, with bloodstains on his face.

"Whoosh!"

The rift vanished, but the space in that area became unstable, with various chaotic forces dissipating into the air.

"I... I have finally escaped." The young man looked at the unstable point in space behind him, his face filled with wild joy.

"Haha, how many years has it been? I have finally escaped that hellish place." There was a vertical scar on the center of the young man's forehead. Suddenly, this scar opened, revealing an eye with a golden pupil.

This golden eye gazed out at the world.

"This place... it's actually Yulan." The eerie young man laughed in pleasant surprise, "This is truly wonderful."

"Father, I'm hungry," one of the little kittens in the young man's arms said.

"I'm hungry too."

The other two little kittens also spoke up.

Talking cats?

Could they be Sanctuary Magic Beasts?

"Alright, haha, there are over a hundred little dragons up there, have a good feast," the bewitching youth laughed heartily.

"Oh!"

The three little kittens cheered excitedly, and in a flash, they transformed into three streaks of lightning, darting up from the ground and flying directly into the sky. As they soared, their bodies grew larger and larger, while the bewitching youth smiled and took a single step, appearing in mid-air above the Misty Valley.
