Black Calamity Enters Dragon Valley! Exploring the Dragon God's Secrets!

Bai Yuan stopped deep in the mountains.

The surrounding area was a desolate, rocky slope, withered vines Entanglement the weathered rock walls, and there was not even a trace of birds or beasts.

On the surface, it was just an ordinary wild hill.

It was no different from the thousands of nameless mountains within the Star Luo Empire.

But Bai Yuan's palms felt slightly hot.

"Xiao Bai, have you noticed?"

Xiao Bai's figure emerged halfway from the Core Flame, his vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and his voice deepened:

"Yes, it can't be wrong."

It should be here.

Bai Yuan's gaze swept over the empty stone wall in front of him.

"This is the only place around here where there are fluctuations in the laws of nature."

Its surface is plain and unremarkable, like a jumble of stones piled up haphazardly.

But the Core Flame caught a glimpse of the laws hidden within the folds of space.

Ancient, chaotic, and imbued with the unique oppressive aura of dragon blood.

That aura was extremely faint, so faint that even Titled Douluo might not be able to detect it.

However, the level of perception reached by the Core Flame far exceeds that of ordinary Martial Soul.

Bai Yuan closed his eyes, allowing that law to unfold within his Sea of Consciousness.

He instantly understood the rules of Dragon Valley.

Anyone who enters will have their Martial Soul temporarily sealed by the Dragon Valley Laws. Only those who break through to the Five-Ring Soul King level can regain control of their Martial Soul's power.

However, once they exceed the fifth ring, they will be forcibly teleported out by the power within the valley.

Inside and out, they kept the truly powerful outside.

Those who can get in are all "weak" people from below the Fifth Ring Road.

But what can the weak do if they enter Dragon Valley?

What a paradox!

Bai Yuan opened his eyes, a very faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

How do we get in?

"Black Calamity."

Bai Yuan did not answer.

He raised his hand, and a dim light spread from his fingertips.

The Black Calamity Set instantly covered his body.

The nail plates conform to every curve of the body, with dark gold patterns meandering along the nail surface like living creatures.

This time it's not as simple as just concealing one's presence.

The moment the last piece of the mask snapped shut, he seemed to vanish from that space.

There was no fluctuation of Soul Power.

There was no sign of life.

No body temperature.

They lack presence.

"... This thing, even I thought I had disappeared."

Bai Yuan stepped towards the stone wall.

Step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

The moment his body touched the stone wall, the space rippled like water, silently swallowing him up.

There was no light, no roar, not even a gust of wind stirred.

It was as if no one had ever stood in that spot from beginning to end.

The Dragon Valley Law is scanning.

Invisible ripples swept across the area where he was located.

According to the rules, any entrant will have their Martial Soul locked, their cultivation level determined, and a seal implanted.

But the ripples passed through him.

Like light passing through transparent water, nothing is touched.

For a fleeting moment, the law's scanning system created an almost imperceptible blank.

It couldn't find the "person," so it concluded that the place was empty.

Bai Yuan has already entered the interior of Dragon Valley.

Behind them, the folds of space slowly closed.

Ahead, an ancient land shrouded in mist appeared and disappeared on the horizon, the air thick with the aura of dragons.

In the remnants, the decay, the slumber, and in the far most distant depths, a will is awakening.

Meanwhile...

The deepest part of Dragon Valley.

The space fluctuated violently, like a huge rock being thrown into a calm lake.

A massive, nine-colored dragon soul slowly opened its eyes.

The moment the vertical pupil split open, the air throughout Dragon Valley trembled.

He sensed it.

Something has come in.

Not within the rules.

Not included in the calculation.

That aura... even he couldn't fully grasp it.

The Nine-Colored Dragon Soul remained silent for a moment, then an ancient voice seemed to rise from the depths of the earth:

"... Who is it?"

"From the Divine Realm??"

Bai Yuan was walking on the desolate plains of Dragon Valley.

The interior of Dragon Valley is much more spacious than it appears from the outside.

Above was a perpetually gray sky, and beneath my feet, the earth felt hollow, as if it had been hollowed out from within, leaving a hollow echo when I stepped on it.

He walked through the fog for a while, and finally a portal appeared ahead.

It's called a gate, but it's actually more like a huge stone arch.

The rock walls on both sides are covered with ancient dragon patterns, blurred and faded by the erosion of time, but the ancient and desolate aura remains.

Inside the door was an even deeper darkness, shutting out even the fog.

Bai Yuan slowed his pace for a moment.

He turned his head and his gaze fell on a huge rock behind the side of the stone gate.

A figure sat cross-legged there.

His aura was extremely well concealed; if it weren't for the fact that Core Flame's perception far surpassed that of ordinary people, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect him even if he walked within ten steps.

The Titled Douluo of the Tang Sect.

Bai Yuan raised an eyebrow.

They actually hired a doorman here.

The Tang Sect's emphasis on Dragon Valley was even greater than he had anticipated.

Xiao Bai poked half its body out from the Core Flame, its voice coming softly:

"You want me...?"

"Need not."

Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze, his tone calm.

"It's better to let him stay here."

He paused, a barely perceptible smile appearing at the corner of his lips:

"To prevent outsiders from noticing anything unusual too early."

Bai Yuan ignored the person behind the boulder and stepped into the stone gate.

His figure was swallowed by the darkness.

Behind the boulder, the Titled Douluo trembled violently.

He opened his eyes, his Soul Power unconsciously circulated throughout his body, and his perception spread out in all directions.

There was nothing there.

But just a moment ago, he clearly felt a very slight...

A certain scent swept by.

It wasn't Soul Power, nor killing intent; it was much fainter than those things, yet it sent a chill down his spine.

He frowned and examined it carefully again.

There's still nothing there.

"... Dragon Valley is causing trouble again?"

He muttered something to himself, hesitated for a moment, and finally closed his eyes again.

I'm just a gatekeeper. The gate is still there, but no one has gone in. Whatever happens inside Dragon Valley is none of my business.

Don't look at what you shouldn't see, and don't meddle in what you shouldn't meddle in—that's the secret to living long.

He closed his eyes and continued meditating.

Inside the stone gate, Bai Yuan had already stepped into a completely new world.

They landed on the summit of a mountain on the side of a valley, with a giant, inward-sloping depression beneath their feet.

Rather than a valley, it resembles a basin carved out of the sky by a giant hand, with steep, sheer edges and a bottomless, circular crater in the middle.

Bai Yuan stood at the edge of the peak, looking down into the distance.

Everywhere I looked, there were only white bones.

Countless dragon bones covered the entire valley floor, some as large as mountains lying horizontally, their skeletons stretching to the horizon and still not visible in their entirety;

Even the smaller ones are tens of meters long, with jagged, intertwined bones, like a graveyard frozen in time.

A faint grayish-white mist flowed among the bones, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing, obscuring the massive skeletons into indistinct outlines.

The wind blew up from the valley floor, passing through the hollow skull and eye sockets, making a low, mournful sound.

Bai Yuan's gaze slowly swept across the entire Dragon Valley.

Here, every bone once belonged to a living dragon.

Now they are all dead, lying here silently.

Xiao Bai stood beside Bai Yuan and let out a very soft sigh:

"So much..."

"It seems they also went through a tough battle."
