"What disappeared?"
The Crimson Emperor and the Azure Emperor exchanged a glance, an inexplicable unease stirring in their hearts.
"Nidhogg has disappeared!!!"
With those words, the White Emperor withdrew his consciousness from this avatar and returned to his true body.
The possessed Dragonkin was left to collapse straight to the ground.
At this news, the Crimson Emperor and the Azure Emperor both shot to their feet in shock, their pupils contracting, their faces filled with disbelief and panic.
The Crimson Emperor, in particular, nearly lost control of his emotions and roared as he rushed toward the Forbidden Land.
"How is that possible!?"
The White Emperor had stationed himself outside the Forbidden Land precisely to prevent any living creature from entering.
That way, the Black Emperor would remain sealed inside forever, with no chance of escaping without outside help!
But now, not only had the Black Emperor's soul vanished from the Forbidden Land, even the target locked onto by the Eternal Spear had disappeared!
That pointed to a terrifying conclusion...
The White Emperor summoned a Dragonkin, gave him a Dragon Ancestor's Secret Realm Token, and ordered him to enter the Forbidden Land immediately to investigate.
Under the rules of the Forbidden Land, the White Emperor was a "Betrayer." Entering meant instant death!
It was a rule domain the Black Emperor had unleashed before his death. Even after more than a hundred years, the White Emperor still dared not try entering.
Soon, the Dragonkin emerged with his findings:
"Lord White Emperor, the Dragonbone Cross has disappeared."
"The spear you mentioned has fallen to the ground, too..."
The White Emperor's breath caught.
The Black Emperor really had disappeared!
Then he completely lost his mind!
The White Emperor knew all too well how terrifying the Black Emperor was. His cowardice as a betrayer
