Lin Lei, being pulled through the air by Lei Lin, only felt comfortable once he fully activated his semi-dragon form.

He asked curiously, "Brother Lei Lin, what exactly happen..."

Before he could finish, he suddenly heard a massive commotion coming from the cave behind them.

In just this short moment, Lei Lin had already carried him an unknown distance away.

He only caught a glimpse of several colossal beastly shadows appearing near the cave!

Lin Lei had noticed the disturbance behind them, and naturally, Lei Lin felt it too; his speed increased slightly.

Not until he was certain that the danger behind them had no intention of pursuing did he finally relax a little, knowing that the two of them had escaped the danger!

However, although Lei Lin felt slightly relieved, his escape speed remained unchanged as he continued to flee rapidly toward the edge of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

After all, Dylin was a magic beast, and a magic beast that had just escaped from a hellish place like the Gabad Plane Prison at that.

Although in the original story, Dylin discovered Lin Lei upon escaping and realized that it was because of Lin Lei that he and his children had the chance to leave the plane prison.

Dylin had no intention of harming Lin Lei and even tacitly acknowledged that he owed Lin Lei a favor.

Reasonably speaking, Lei Lin did not need to drag Lin Lei away in such a hurry.

But Lei Lin dared not gamble; he had to run if he could, to avoid being stepped on like an ant by accident.

By the time they were about to run out of the Magic Beast Mountain Range and were far away from the Misty Valley, Lei Lin finally felt at ease.

Seeing Lei Lin, who had been desperately pulling him to escape, finally relax, Lin Lei tugged hard at his collar to breathe in the fresh air.

Rubbing his neck, which had been chafed until it bled, Lin Lei said with lingering fear, "Brother Lei Lin, what exactly happened just now?"

"Also, I think I saw a few massive figures. What... what were those?"

Lei Lin sighed, "I still can't fully understand that magic array, but I can judge its general function; it is a sealing magic array."

"Think about it, Lin Lei. A sealing magic array, just by leaking..."

"Or rather, by gathering heaven and earth elements to maintain its own operation, it was enough to increase the elemental concentration in that cave to a hundred times that of the outside world."

"It birthed a Saint Realm magic beast like the Purple-Striped Black Bear and caused rare dragon species like the Spine-backed Iron-Armored Dragon to fight over it."

"Take a guess~"

"What level of existence could be sealed by this magic array itself?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Lei couldn't help but swallow hard!

The elemental environment created by the magic array alone was enough to nurture a Saint Realm magic beast; he dared not imagine what kind of terrifying existence could be sealed by such an array!

Unaccountably, Lin Lei recalled that fleeting glimpse of the massive beastly shadows!

Thinking of this, he looked at the Purple Sword in his hand and said, "Brother Lei Lin, could this sword..."

Lei Lin took the Purple Sword from Lin Lei's hand and said, "This Purple Sword must be the core of that magic array!"

Feeling the flexibility of the blade, Lei Lin channeled his battle qi into it, causing it to straighten like steel.

"A fine sword!" Feeling the sharpness of the blade, Lei Lin sighed involuntarily.

At the same time, he thought to himself, Sigh~, not knowing beast language and being unable to communicate properly with Beibei is truly troublesome!

Or perhaps, this is just fate!

He had originally thought that with him around, he would never give Lin Lei a chance to draw the sword.

As long as the Violet Blood Soft Sword, which served as the core, remained undisturbed, the magic array would not have any issues.

If the magic array had no issues, Dylin would not escape back to the Magnolia Continent.

If Dylin did not escape back to the Magnolia Continent, the Day of Destruction would not occur!

In this way, as long as he didn't tell Lin Lei the truth about the upcoming [Death of Hogg], the current peace would continue.

He would then have enough time to develop!

But who would have thought that because he was fully focused on checking and transcribing the integrity of the magic array, Beibei would pull out the Violet Blood Soft Sword while Lin Lei was roasting meat.

He had clearly warned Beibei before that the Purple Sword was very sharp!

"Uh..."

Lei Lin's body shuddered as he suddenly realized that it was likely because he had warned Beibei that the Violet Blood Soft Sword was sharp that Beibei had pulled it out because Lin Lei was struggling to cut the meat!

After all, even though he had already butchered the Purple-Striped Magic Bear and the Spine-backed Iron-Armored Dragon into large chunks, without the protection of their hides, it was quite difficult for someone of Lin Lei's strength to process them.

"I am such a fool..., sigh~"

Sighing again, Lei Lin felt a trace of regret in his heart, but he immediately dismissed it.

After all, regret is the most useless thing in this world.

He looked at the Purple Sword and said, "It is a fine sword. Being obtained by you does not disgrace it."

"Bind it with a drop of your blood!"

Lin Lei was stunned upon hearing this and asked in confusion, "Bind it with blood?"

Lei Lin nodded and said, "Mm, try dripping your blood on it first."

Lin Lei was a bit puzzled, but he didn't hesitate in his actions; after all, Lei Lin wouldn't harm him!

Then, Lin Lei felt a connection form between himself and the Purple Sword. Strangely, he felt that this sensation was very familiar.

His gaze drifted involuntarily toward his Coiling Dragon Ring!

Watching Lin Lei's expression, Lei Lin said, "It seems I guessed correctly; this Purple Sword must be a divine artifact!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Lei instantly lost his composure: "This is... a divine artifact?!"

On the side, the soul of Delin smoothed his furrowed brow, a flash of realization in his eyes; he had already guessed that the Violet Blood Soft Sword was a divine artifact!

Lei Lin explained, "Yes, a divine artifact. After all, with such a powerful magic array, it wouldn't even be qualified to serve as the core if it weren't a divine artifact!"

Lin Lei: "Then, Brother Lei Lin, you still..."

Lei Lin drew his Judgment and said, "I already have a weapon!"

"To me, this Judgment, which I designed and forged myself, is the most suitable for me."

"Besides, this Judgment is the flagship magic item of my Zi'ao Family. If I don't even use it myself, who would be willing to buy it if others saw that?"

As he spoke, he took out the Saint Realm magic core of the Purple-Striped Magic Bear and said, "I'll just take this Saint Realm magic core; that should make you feel better about it."

"Don't be coy!"

"Your bloodline has awakened, and you are now a proper warrior. You should have a handy weapon; continuing to use a flat chisel as a weapon is not appropriate!"

"I hope you do not let this precious sword gather dust!"

"Do not let your bloodline gather dust!"

Hearing Lei Lin say this, Lin Lei's blood instantly began to boil. Feeling the connection with the Violet Blood Soft Sword, he no longer refused.

He nodded solemnly and said, "Brother Lei Lin, I will definitely not let this sword gather dust, and I will certainly not let the name of the Dragonblood Warrior gather dust!"

Patting Lin Lei on the shoulder, Lei Lin smiled and said, "Mm, I am sure you can do it."

"Also, don't show off this sword casually, otherwise it will inevitably attract covetous eyes, as it is a divine artifact after all!"

Lin Lei: "Mm, alright, Brother Lei Lin!"

After saying this, Lin Lei asked with confusion, "But Brother Lei Lin, since this sword was used by someone as the core of a magic array, wouldn't its original owner..."

The owner of a divine artifact would naturally be a god-level expert, and Lin Lei was worried about being caught by the original owner!

Lei Lin laughed heartily and said, "Lin Lei, it has no owner, or rather, its owner is already dead."

"Otherwise, it would have been impossible to successfully drip blood to claim it as your own!"
