"Lord Long, please quickly absorb the energy of the Dragon Yang Stone!" Xu Wendong said with a faint smile on his face.
The Dragon Soul responded with a grunt, and then strands of barely perceptible soul power seeped out from Xu Wendong’s body, absorbing the surrounding energy.
As ti passed, the movents of the Dragon Soul grew increasingly intense. It was like an ancient divine being gradually awakening from endless darkness, emitting a majestic and mysterious aura.
This aura made Si Yao’s scalp tingle; she could sense that within Xu Wendong was a powerful presence, so formidable that even she felt a chill of fear.
At the sa ti, Xu Wendong could clearly feel that the Dragon Soul was continuously absorbing the vast energy emanating from the Dragon Yang Stone around him.
The energy absorption started slowly, like a gentle stream, but quickly surged like a raging river as the Dragon Soul’s thirst for energy heightened.
Xu Wendong’s body began to tremble uncontrollably, his ridians igniting like burning fuses, hot and fiery.
Every ridian was bearing a massive energy impact, as if it would collapse at any mont.
The energy absorbed by the Dragon Soul rampaged wildly in his body, recklessly impacting his Dantian and Sea of Consciousness, the agony of which nearly made Xu Wendong faint.
"Lord Long, slow down, don’t be so impatient!" Xu Wendong’s face contorted in pain, his features twisted together.
Though he possessed the Ancient Sacred Body, with an extraordinarily formidable physical body, he could not withstand this intense pain.
Nevertheless.
The Dragon Soul did not cease its absorption due to Xu Wendong’s suffering.
It was like a glutton that had starved for a thousand years, voraciously devouring the energy released by the Dragon Yang Stone.
The light of the Dragon Yang Stones gradually grew dim, their power pouring into Xu Wendong like a torrent, then being swallowed by the Dragon Soul.
During this ordeal of pain and struggle, Xu Wendong’s consciousness alternated between blurry and clear.
He attempted to suppress the Dragon Soul with his spiritual power, to prevent its reckless behavior, but his strength was like an ant trying to topple a giant tree next to the Dragon Soul, utterly ineffective.
As the light of the final Dragon Yang Stone completely extinguished, the Dragon Soul seed to have completed a grand awakening ceremony.
It erupted in an extrely radiant glow within Xu Wendong, this light akin to a newly born sun, enveloping Xu Wendong entirely.
Within the light, the form of the Dragon Soul beca increasingly distinct, with a majestic posture, fierce dragon horns, and scales radiating mysterious energy, all vividly lifelike.
It soared and danced within Xu Wendong, emitting resonant dragon cries, as if announcing its rebirth to the world.
Under the illumination of this light, Xu Wendong’s body underwent a remarkable transformation.
His ridians, previously injured from breaking the formation and enduring energy impact, swiftly healed under the power of the Dragon Soul’s awakening and even beca stronger and wider.
His strength seed to have been sublimated, surging and rampant within him, its intensity and purity far surpassing before.
At this mont, Xu Wendong, though having undergone a near-death ordeal, had acquired even stronger power due to the Dragon Soul’s complete awakening.
"Tell the current situation in the Immortal Realm." The voice of the Dragon Soul, majestic and resonant like a great bell, thundered deep in Xu Wendong’s mind.
Xu Wendong hurriedly explained the current circumstances of the Immortal Realm in detail to the Dragon Soul.
After finishing, he frowned, speaking gravely: "Lord Long, I have a nagging feeling that the ergence of a second Mandate of Heaven Individual in the Biluo Immortal Continent hints at sothing strange and unsettling!" As he spoke, his eyes revealed deep concern.
The Dragon Soul, upon hearing this, remained silent for a mont before slowly speaking: "This matter can be no worse than three scenarios."
"Firstly, soone may be attempting to rally the mighty forces of the Immortal Realm under the na of the Mandate of Heaven Individual, to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Otherworldly Demon."
Xu Wendong couldn’t help but interject: "If that is the case, it wouldn’t necessarily be bad, though..." He hesitated, the worry in his eyes growing.
The Dragon Soul seed to see through his thoughts, asking, "Are you worried this is an Otherworldly Demon’s plot, aiming to ensnare the powerful Human Race individuals?"
Xu Wendong nodded solemnly: "The Otherworldly Demons are always cunning, their treachery insidious and hard to guard against."
"If the Otherworldly Demon has controlled the Human Race powerhouses in the Biluo Immortal Continent and used their nas to spread the news of the Mandate of Heaven Individual, enticing the Human Race powerhouses to gather, what awaits them could very well be a devastating disaster!"
"Actually, there’s a third possibility." The Dragon Soul’s voice again resonated, deep and insightful: "Soone covets your opportunities and fortune, and tries to replace you as the Mandate of Heaven Individual."
Xu Wendong was montarily stunned before a subtle, intriguing smile appeared on his face: "If that turns out to be the case, then I ought to thank him."
The bitter undertone of his smile was palpable, as others could not fathom the weight and magnitude of the responsibilities and mission he bore, pressing down on him to the point of suffocation.
Within his heart, there was indeed a wish for soone to relieve him of this burden, even if it had to be through such illegitimate ans.
"Humph, do you think anyone can truly seize your opportunities and fortune?" The Dragon Soul chuckled disdainfully, "You are the Mandate of Heaven Individual ordained by those mysterious beings. This is the will of destiny, no one in the world can change it, let alone seize your opportunities and fortune."
A trace of disappointnt flashed in Xu Wendong’s eyes, he softly exhaled as if to release his inner frustration, then said: "I plan to head to the Biluo Immortal Continent to et with the Human Race powerhouses."
His gaze beca resolute, the destined colossal battle between the Human Race and the Otherworldly Demons must occur.
He could not stand idly by and watch helpless ordinary people perish in the flas of war.
He needed to save them, to bring them to the Penglai Fairy Island Minor World, the only refuge he could provide.
"Don’t go to the Biluo Immortal Continent yet, with your current strength, even if you go, it won’t change the overall situation." The Dragon Soul’s voice again echoed in Xu Wendong’s mind, with an undeniable tone.
"Then where should I go?" Xu Wendong asked, full of confusion.
"Netherworld Blood Pool." The Dragon Soul uttered these four words.
"Netherworld Blood Pool?" Xu Wendong’s eyes were filled with perplexity.
The Dragon Soul patiently explained: "Netherworld Blood Pool is one of the three forbidden lands in Cuiying Spirit Continent, existing since endless ages ago, a graveyard of terror. If you can tread into the Netherworld Blood Pool, you will assuredly enhance your realm and strength."
"Of course, there’s also a secret within the Netherworld Blood Pool that no one else knows."
Xu Wendong inquired curiously: "What secret?"
