A fourth-tier True Flood Dragon's treasure corpse secured! Transformation and Nascent Soul, the secret realm's secrets, and a staggering haul

Inside the ice cavern of Eerie Snow Mountain.

A man and a flood dragon faced each other from afar.

Lin Changheng stood beside the ice cavern's entrance, his black robe billowing and his bamboo hat pulled low.

The Truefire Flood Dragon lay deep within the cavern. Its thousand-foot body resembled a sleeping mountain range, its crimson-gold pupils flickering in the gloom like two lamps on the verge of going out.

The scales around those wounds had long since fallen away, exposing dark-red flesh beneath. Faint signs of festering marked the places where flesh met bronze, the result of years upon years of freezing and repeated abrasion from the chains.

Lin Changheng withdrew his gaze from the chains. His tone was sincere, with no intention of shirking
