Chu Feng employed both martial power and barrier techniques.
Finally, he reached the depths of the Nine Dragons Anomaly Ridge once again, the area where the mysterious entity resided.
“Jie jie jie…”
“I never expected you’d step into the Supreme Realm so quickly. Much faster than I anticipated.”
“It seems the Nine Dragons Saint didn’t deceive me.”
As soon as Chu Feng entered the area, before even seeing the powerful evil spirits guarding the place, the voice of the mysterious entity suddenly echoed.
With that voice, two blood-red gazes, like twin moons, emerged from the darkness below.
Despite Chu Feng’s significant progress in cultivation, the terrifying oppressive force remained as overwhelming as ever.
But the entity’s eager appearance made Chu Feng realise it had been anxiously awaiting his return.
“Senior, I have come as promised. Can you now tell me what you need me to do?” Chu Feng asked, clasping his fists.
“Little brat, do you truly wish to serve me, or are you only here because of the poison I planted in your body, forcing you to seek me for the antidote?” The mysterious entity let out a strange laugh.
“Both,” Chu Feng replied. “After all, I still have something with you.”
Not to mention the priceless Qilin Egg still held by this entity, Chu Feng was also curious about the so-called Nine Dragons Saint.
He felt this place must hold extraordinary secrets, or perhaps extraordinary power.
Otherwise, why would not only this unfathomably powerful mysterious entity appear here, but also the Nine Dragons Saint who left behind the anomaly, and even the Spirit Immortal King?
The Nine Dragons Saint Robe, which boosted Chu Feng’s spirit techniques by a full rank, was crafted by the Spirit Immortal King using the Nine Dragons Qi from this place.
All clues pointed to a powerful force hidden deep within the Upper Realm of Nine Dragons, the so-called Nine Dragons Qi.
“Little brat, you really have some guts. You actually want something that’s in my possession?” The mysterious entity’s voice rang out again, tinged with mockery.
Then, those blood-red eyes drew closer to Chu Feng.
As it approached, the oppressive force grew stronger, making Chu Feng feel increasingly insignificant.
Just its eyes were enormous, making Chu Feng feel as small as an ant.
Soon, the mysterious entity fully revealed itself.
It was a colossal creature, stretching over a hundred thousand metres.
It was as massive as Ruyi Castle.
But while Ruyi Castle was man-made, this was a living being.
It was a dragon, a black dragon.
Black scales, blood-red eyes, ferocious and terrifying.
Yet, it wasn’t a complete entity; it resembled a soul body.
Though lifelike, it was more like a soul than a physical body.
Even so, its immense power was undeniable.
In its presence, Chu Feng felt like dust, insignificant in both body and strength.
Such a disparity sparked unease in Chu Feng.
“A divine beast, a dragon?!” Despite his vast experiences, Chu Feng’s heart surged with overwhelming shock, unable to calm.
Along his journey, Chu Feng had seen many dragon-like creatures, but they were mere imitations, with only faint traces of dragon blood.
True dragons were the mightiest beasts in the world, known as divine beasts.
But the being before him gave Chu Feng the oppressive sensation of a god.
He suspected this was a true dragon.
“Little brat, let me tell you something. I won’t return that egg to you. It’s priceless, the legendary Heaven-Swallowing Qilin. You couldn’t protect such a treasure,” the black dragon said to Chu Feng.
At those words, Chu Feng’s heart tightened.
But what it said next sent chills down his spine.
“And you shouldn’t have come back, because you’re the one chosen by the Nine Dragons Saint. He didn’t choose you to gain the power here. He chose you to serve as a vessel for my soul.”
“Cultivation isn’t the key. The key is talent. Only a soul with sufficient talent can merge with mine after I devour it, capable of bearing my soul.”
“So, you shouldn’t have returned, but… I still thank you. Because of you, I will see the light of day again!!!”
Roar—
As the black dragon finished, a fierce wind erupted.
The wind was so ferocious it whipped Chu Feng’s clothes and hair wildly.
He felt the force of the wind alone could scatter his soul.
Yet, Chu Feng was rooted in place, unable to move an inch, unable to escape.
Then, he saw the hundred-thousand-metre black dragon begin to change.
A small, eerie black light emerged from its body, like a worm, extending outward and flying toward Chu Feng.
Seeing that black light, Chu Feng knew it was trouble.
It was the black dragon’s soul, aiming to possess his body.
Swish—
But at that moment, a cold light descended from above.
Aowoo—
A piercing scream echoed through the air.
It happened so fast that Chu Feng only realised afterward… the extended soul body had been severed.
And the one wailing was the black dragon, powerful as a god!!!
“Who is it?!” the black dragon roared in fury.
Rumble—
At that moment, the ground above Chu Feng split open, soil flying as a massive object entered the depths.
Its size was no less than the black dragon before Chu Feng.
But it wasn’t a living creature.
It was Ruyi Castle!!!
“Planting poison in his body, using such despicable means to force him back here. I knew you weren’t benevolent,” Old Man Ruyi’s voice came from within Ruyi Castle.
