Ji Ye kept his spiritual power anchored in his mind, his icy blue eyes clear and bright.
Within the Sea of Consciousness, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's chubby body suddenly tensed.
He stared fixedly at the multicolored orb ahead.
He couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.
That terrifying aura of the dragon race made him think of one possibility at once.
The Dragon God!
"Holy crap! Ji Ye!"
"Th-this... this, this, this!"
Sky Dream was so shocked he could barely get the words out.
"Could this... be the legendary place?! The place where the dragon race fell millions of years ago?!"
"Mm." Ji Ye nodded.
"That's right."
As he spoke, Ji Ye kept his eyes fixed on the multicolored orb.
"Is that... the Dragon God Heart? You're not thinking of taking it, are you?" Sky Dream followed Ji Ye's gaze toward the orb.
"Mm." Ji Ye's resolve was firm. "This is a rare opportunity."
"Holy crap, don't go looking for a death wish! The Dragon God may be dead, but his lingering will is terrifying. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Sky Dream warned him, unable to help marveling at Ji Ye's courage.
That was the legendary Dragon God!!!
Ji Ye nodded, focusing his mind even more.
If he shrank from every challenge, how could he grow stronger?
He continued forward at a measured pace, finally reaching the multicolored orb.
It was no bigger than a fist. Nine-colored light swirled within it, radiating a heart-wrenching sorrow and unwillingness to yield.
Ji Ye extended his right hand. A thin layer of silver-blue spatial power covered his palm as he slowly reached toward the orb.
The instant he touched it—
"ROAR—!!!"
A dragon's roar, filled with boundless rage, sorrow, and despair, exploded in the deepest part of Ji Ye's soul!
