"It's very similar to the Gravity Space of Leisjing; the gravity changes constantly, and there are fluctuations within it that can attack the soul."
Faced with this change, Andrew remained calm and continued flying inward. After a quarter of an hour, Andrew finally flew out of the Mist Sea, and the eerie wind around him disappeared.
"Boom!"
As soon as he emerged, Andrew was swept up by the immense attraction in front of him. Instantly, azure Fused Divine Power emanated from his body, resisting the terrifying attraction.
At this moment, Bernistan also woke up.
"Elder, where is this... Ah!" Bernistan was caught off guard and pulled into the depths of the Mist Sea. Andrew had no choice but to follow. Here, he was helpless. This gravity not only attracted physical bodies but also souls. If Bernistan tried to resist, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
" The Amethyst Divine Beast truly lives up to its reputation as a super Divine Beast of destruction and Earth Element. Its innate skill of creating Gravity Space alone is enough to make it stand out among its peers."
Andrew knew there was no danger at this moment, so he followed Bernistan into the core of the Amethyst Mountains. At the same time, he was also studying the space here. There was no doubt that the situation here was related to the Amethyst Divine Beast's Gravity Space technique. Andrew guessed that Leisjing could not cover such a large area with its Gravity Space technique. Most likely, this was an unintentional technique used by the Sovereign Zijing.
"Call out!"
The two followed the force of gravity and moved forward. Suddenly, Andrew noticed a purple light coming from his left. He instinctively reached out and grabbed it. "Pfft!" A Amethyst broke through the Fused Divine Power, passed through his panel, and embedded itself in his palm. The impact almost pierced through his hand.
This attack greatly alarmed Andrew.
"Too powerful! My defense with Fused Divine Power isn't strong, but even Divine Spark Weapon can't easily injure my physical body. Yet, a single flying Amethyst can easily harm me..."
Still shaken, Andrew immediately Dragonform, his entire body covered in golden scales. Ahead of him, Bernistan, having witnessed the scene, also Dragonform without hesitation. The two dragon-men, one golden and one azure, proceeded cautiously, one in front of the other.
"Buzz!" A purple light entered Andrew's vision from within the white mist.
"Watch out!" Andrew shouted, accelerating forward. He could clearly see that what was flying towards him was a ball of Amethyst. Under the influence of gravity, the ball of Amethyst was extremely fast and had a very strong impact. Andrew estimated that even the Seven-Star Fiend's material attack was no more powerful than this.
Upon hearing Andrew's warning, Bernistan immediately dodged. As he moved, he noticed that Andrew actually reached out to grab the Amethyst.
"What is the elder doing? Just now, a single Amethyst was enough to hurt him, but this time, it's a whole cluster of Amethyst!" Bernistan was startled, watching helplessly as Andrew's dragon claw collided with the Amethyst.
"Bang!"
To Bernistan's astonishment, the golden dragon claw firmly grasped the Amethyst, with only a few scales cracking on the claw.
"What incredible defense! This Dragonform... even among the elders of the family, few can match it." Bernistan was Six-Star Fiend of the Four Divine Beasts Clan. He had witnessed many battles of the elders, but he felt that none of them could compare to Andrew.
"We must bring Elder Andrew to the **!" Andrew's performance strengthened Bernistan's resolve.
Regardless of Bernistan's thoughts, Andrew stored the amethyst Amethyst into the Azure Dragon Ring. Soon, the amethyst Amethyst were refined, and the golden mist was swallowed by the Golden Dragon.
In terms of defense, Andrew's defensive capabilities will increase several times after Dragonform.
"We've finally arrived!"
After taking down a cluster of Amethyst, Andrew could see the mountain peaks ahead. He knew that this was the core of the Amethyst Mountains.
" Bernistan, watch out, gravity is shifting again!"
Andrew sensed the changes around him and immediately spoke up to warn them. At the same time, his aura surged, and more and more Divine Power gathered to resist the powerful gravity.
Bernistan heard Andrew's warning and immediately prepared, but he still couldn't resist the gravity and crashed heavily into a mountain peak.
Andrew, having finally regained his balance, landed and helped Bernistan up.
Are you alright?
Bernistan deactivated his Dragonform, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "It's alright, but this place is too dangerous."
Andrew also deactivated his Dragonform: "Don't worry, we're safe for now. As I said, this is the abode of the Sovereign Zijing, it's not as simple as it seems."
Bernistan took a breath and asked, "Elder, aren't you from the Material Plane? How do you know these things?"
Andrew said, "Someone told me, of course. Alright, let's go. This is already the core area of the Amethyst Mountains; we might have to stay here for a long time."
"Stay for a long time?" Bernistan was displeased. He wanted to bring Andrew back to the family as soon as possible. However, he was not as powerful as Andrew and could not force him, so he could only play the emotional card.
"I'll stay with you as long as you stay!" Bernistan thought to himself. He knew very well what a powerful elder meant to the Four Divine Beasts Clan at this moment. If the four Sovereign, including the Azure Dragon, were still alive, the Four Divine Beasts Clan wouldn't care so much about an elder. However, these four ancestors were now dead, and the clan was besieged by the Eight Great Clans. As a top-tier combatant, the Seven-Star Fiend was extremely precious.
Bernistan straightened his clothes and followed behind Andrew.
"Elder, where are we going?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Andrew's eyes.
Where to go?
"Let's keep going, and hopefully we can collect as much Amethyst as possible." After thinking for a moment, Andrew didn't give a definite answer.
In fact, he himself didn't know where he was going.
Andrew came to the Amethyst Mountains for two reasons: first, to obtain Amethyst to strengthen his soul; and second, to establish a connection with the Sovereign Zijing and obtain the Soul Stone, which is even more valuable than Sovereign Artifact! The second reason is the most important. If it were just for Amethyst, he could easily buy it with Inkstone.
Soul Stone are rare treasures in the world, their value immeasurable. Andrew believes that there are few things in this universe more precious than Soul Stone.
Putting everything else aside, without the Soul Stone, even with Linley's incredible luck, he probably wouldn't have been able to achieve the Four-Element Soul Mutation. The Soul Stone played a crucial role in this process. How could Andrew not be tempted by such a treasure?
Moreover, it's entirely possible for Andrew to obtain the Soul Stone!
"The reason the Sovereign Zijing gave the Soul Stone to Linley was to repay the favor of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, out of respect for the Azure Dragon. From this perspective, my chances of obtaining the Soul Stone are even greater than Linley's."
Andrew wore the Azure Dragon Ring on his hand, making no attempt to conceal his bloodline; he wanted the Sovereign Zijing to know about his relationship with the Azure Dragon.
" The Sovereign Zijing is certainly aware of the predicament of the Four Divine Beasts Clan. However, as Sovereign, she cannot interfere in such a struggle unless the Four Divine Beasts Clan are truly facing a life-or-death moment, in which case the Sovereign Zijing might send someone to protect the Azure Dragon's bloodline."
"I think the Sovereign Zijing gave the Soul Stone to Linley for two reasons. First, it was out of respect for the Azure Dragon, since Linley possessed the Azure Dragon Ring and the Azure Dragon's aura, which the Sovereign Zijing surely knew. Second, it was also because Linley's talent was exceptional, earning the Sovereign Zijing's appreciation. If Linley eventually grows to the point where he can independently resolve the crisis of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, the Sovereign Zijing will have one less worry."
"Based on these two points, it's entirely possible for me to obtain the Soul Stone."
Andrew didn't know much about Soul Stone, but he could imagine how precious Soul Stone. In this universe, only the Sovereign Zijing could give away a Soul Stone, and even other Sovereign wanted to obtain Soul Stone.
" Soul Stone, judging from the name, it must be related to the soul," Andrew guessed. This guess was not without reason, as the Amethyst Divine Beast was renowned for its soul talent.
The two walked towards a distant mountain. Bernistan found it strange that Andrew seemed lost in thought the whole way, not saying a word. He assumed Andrew had some kind of enlightenment and didn't dare to disturb him.
"The gravity here is so strong," Bernistan thought to himself. As Six-Star Fiend among the Four Divine Beasts Clan, Bernistan had seen a lot, but this was the first time he had ever been to a place with such strong gravity.
After walking for half a day, Bernistan suddenly spotted several figures ahead. Those people darted over at an extremely fast speed.
"No, we can't let them disturb the elders!" Bernistan reacted immediately, moving to block their path.
"Get out of the way!" shouted one of the men with a thick beard.
"Get out of the way immediately!" Bernistan said coldly. Although these people in front of him were all Highgod, he did not take them seriously. As the captain of the Azure Dragon Clan's guard, Bernistan was very proud.
"Get out of my way!" The bearded man was extremely anxious. Seeing Bernistan blocking his path, he swung his sword without saying a word. The fiery red sword energy flew towards Bernistan along a strange trajectory. The others beside him also took out their weapons and attacked together.
