"My current strength is enough to resolve the crisis before us."
"Senior, please lead the way."
Quietly accepting the golden dragon shadow, Xiao Yan felt the overwhelming bloodline power that towered above all else and spoke again.
Xiao Yan knew perfectly well that the golden dragon shadow contained the Golden Dragon King's lifeblood. Xiao Mu and the Dragon Blood Martial Emperor had clearly come to deliver it to him.
To continue cultivating the Dragon God Transformation, he needed the dragon blood of one of the Nine Dragon Kings. Presumably, the Third Holy Flame falling into Xiao Yan's hands had alerted the Golden Dragon King and those other powerhouses to this matter.
"This way!"
Hearing Xiao Yan's forceful tone, the Dragon Blood Martial Emperor could hardly hesitate any longer. He sprang into motion, and the four of them shot straight toward the Soul Devouring Domain's headquarters!
They moved so swiftly that they entered the headquarters' central hall in almost the blink of an eye.
"Gulp... what is this?"
Countless blood-red threads of demonic qi coiled throughout the hall. With his immense Soul Power, Xiao Yan could discern fragments of hazy scenes lingering within them.
Those scraps of information and incomplete memories all pointed to terrifying, heart-stopping battles that had once taken place here!
"There are traces of something..."
The four walked onward together. The quiet building suspended in the air was far too deathly still. Pools of highly toxic venom, poisonous spiderwebs, and other traces slowly came into view on parts of the floor.
"This is the place."
"This is the headquarters' main hall."
"When I escorted the dragon blood away, Domain Lord Fang gave me the Soul Devouring Talisman. Only then was I spared these potent, evil toxins."
The hall before them was filled with pools of thick, pitch-black poison.
