Trapped

Enormous dragons traverse the stars endlessly.

Countless celestial bodies seemed to come to a standstill under his speed.

Even without entering the wormhole, the dragon's speed surpassed everything else.

He was like a passerby in the universe, arriving and departing in haste.

Xingtian, enveloped in the Flame Golden Lotus, remained asleep.

If you look closely, you'll see.

Surprisingly, there was a faint energy shield surrounding the Flame Golden Lotus, enveloping both of them.

I don't know how much time passed.

Xingtian finally woke up slowly and immediately realized his situation.

Rather than be caught in the dragon's claws, Xingtian preferred to remain within the attack range of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Although there is a chance of death, at the very least, there is a possibility of surviving through one's own efforts.

Unlike now, when you're a prisoner and can do nothing but wait to die.

Meanwhile, Xingtian also discovered that his injuries had been somewhat relieved.

The energy shield surrounding the golden lotus was continuously radiating energy inwards.

This energy is what's repairing the damage caused by Peng Tianlin's attack.

The dragon was clearly doing this out of fear for Xingtian's death.

The energy provided can only slightly alleviate the injury; a full recovery is simply a pipe dream.

"Senior! Are you Demon Race?"

Xingtian began to try to communicate with the dragon.

Unfortunately, the dragon turned a deaf ear.

It simply flickers endlessly in the universe.

Xingtian also noticed the dragon's speed.

It completely surpasses the abilities of Ninth-Level Immortal Emperor.

Judging from appearances, the dragon before them is undoubtedly the Supreme Powerhouse.

"Senior, where are we going?"

Are you here for the Eternal Flame?

"This flame is something Phoenix Ancestor is determined to obtain; you'd better think it through!"

Unfortunately, no matter what Xingtian said, the dragon remained silent.

He had no choice but to give up on communication, sit cross-legged on the golden lotus, and try his best to absorb the energy seeping in from the outside to repair his body.

The energy that the dragon provided to Xingtian was very strange; it was neither Demon Power nor Immortal Power, and it was even beyond his comprehension.

It wasn't any energy he recognized.

But this energy is extremely special.

Light! Purity! Warmth!

It's like the warm sun shining on you in winter.

Even absorbing just a tiny bit made Xingtian feel exceptionally comfortable.

"What peculiar energy! It feels like the kind of light magic described in fantasy novels!"

Unfortunately, as Xingtian awoke, the dragon quickly cut off the energy supply.

Xingtian could no longer absorb any energy.

Realizing that things couldn't continue like this, Xingtian immediately contacted his Original Self.

Unfortunately, the calls to consciousness went unanswered.

It seems that the Original Self is still unilaterally blocking me out.

We can contact the Good Corpse, though.

And upon learning of the situation on the side of the Evil Corpse, they became extremely anxious.

Against the Supreme Powerhouse, the Good Corpse has no good way to deal with them except to throw itself to its death.

At this point, Xingtian even harbored some resentment towards his Original Self.

Since leaving Original Self Ziwei Domain, I have completely severed ties with the Good and Evil Twin Corpses.

Xingtian didn't understand the meaning behind what he was doing.

The three of them are essentially one entity; when faced with special circumstances, it's inevitable that one person's plan will be less effective than the combined efforts of the other.

More people mean more solutions.

Moreover, he was the Original Self, the most rational of the three.

It is also the core of technology.

But now that they've lost contact, Xingtian is in a very passive position every time he encounters danger.

If it weren't for his willingness to risk his life and a bit of luck, he might have already died on the Human-Demon Battlefield.

Not to mention the subsequent search for the Eternal Flame.

But whether it's luck or hard work, they've all become a joke in the hands of this Supreme Powerhouse dragon.

Xingtian couldn't fathom how much incredible luck he would need, or how much astonishing effort he would have to put in to escape his current predicament.

Just as Xingtian was mentally criticizing his Original Self, the dragon's speed suddenly decreased.

A star system comparable to the Ziwei Domain appeared before them.

Xingtian immediately discerned the state of the galaxy before him.

It's definitely a nest!

Because of the existence of that massive array on the outer edge of the galaxy.

The giant dragon flew directly towards the protective array of the nest.

And it didn't even stop the moment it approached the great formation.

With a mere flick of its claws across the great formation, a massive rift, large enough for a dragon to pass through, appeared before its eyes.

Xingtian, who witnessed everything, was particularly shocked.

Because the crack did not damage the great formation.

This crack is a spatial rift!

The dragon simply created a short spatial tunnel inside and outside the great formation, and then went straight through it.

Xingtian can also create spatial rifts like this.

The difficulty lies in how to avoid affecting the protective array around the Demon Race's lair.

Back then, Original Self also had a team researching formations study this great formation.

The results showed that this array was particularly sensitive to spatial forces.

Even the slightest spatial fluctuation will trigger a reaction from the grand formation.

Despite the dragon creating such a massive spatial rift, the great formation remained completely unmoved.

This ability completely exceeded Xingtian's understanding of spatial power.

The dragon ignored Xingtian's shock and continued to move forward at an exaggerated speed after entering the lair.

They quickly arrived at the core area of the nest and stopped.

Then, with a slash in the void, a spatial rift reappeared.

Xingtian, along with the Flame Golden Lotus, was casually tossed aside and disappeared into the crack.

As the crack slowly closed, the dragon closed its eyes and floated in the void, as if falling into a deep sleep.

After entering the spatial rift, Xingtian found himself in a sealed space.

The perception of the outside world has completely disappeared.

Even the Good Corpse could no longer be contacted.

At this moment, Xingtian began to panic.

The special bond between the three had never been broken like this before.

Was I imprisoned by a dragon?

But why?

According to Xingtian's thinking, Supreme Powerhouse like a giant dragon would surely capture him for the Eternal Flame.

But now he has trapped himself and shows no intention of seizing the Eternal Flame.

"The Original Self! The Original Self? The Good Corpse?"

Xingtian was still making a final struggle in his consciousness, but it was all in vain.

Under Xingtian's control, the Flame Golden Lotus rapidly shrank and was quickly absorbed into his body.

At the same time, he began to try to see if it was possible to break through this space and escape.

Unfortunately, it had no effect whatsoever.

The stability of this space was beyond imagination; even Xingtian's full-force attack could not cause any spatial fluctuations.

"How could this be? Although his injuries haven't healed, he can still unleash an attack at the Eighth-Level Immortal Emperor. An attack of this level could easily shatter space outside, so why can't it do so here?"

As Xingtian muttered to himself, he failed to notice the strange changes taking place in the entire space.
