NOVEL NEXT Chapter 362: Entering the Dragon Valley
Liu Erlong watched as Xiao Yu disappeared into the distance, her expression tense. She was about to say something when Yu Yuanzhen stopped her.
"Alright, Erlong, Xiao Yu has his own plans. Although the Dragon Valley is full of dangers, with Xiao Yu's current semi-divine strength, he'll be fine."
Despite Yu Yuanzhen's reassurance, Liu Erlong couldn't help but worry about Xiao Yu.
It wasn't until Xiao Yu's figure completely vanished that Liu Erlong turned her attention to her father, who was in the process of absorbing a 100,000-year spirit ring.
As the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, Yu Luomian naturally had top-tier spirit rings.
Thus, it was entirely possible for him to successfully absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring as his ninth ring.
"..."
Meanwhile, Xiao Yu followed the Thunder Dragon Bear for a while.
They stopped at the foot of a mountain where the sky itself seemed to be releasing pitch-black lightning.
"Dragon King, the secret realm you're looking for is up there!"
The Thunder Dragon Bear stood behind Xiao Yu, speaking in a solemn tone.
The massive Thunder Dragon Bear stood respectfully behind Xiao Yu, a somewhat comical sight.
Looking at the mountain shrouded in black lightning, Xiao Yu once again felt the terrifying power of nature.
Just a single strike of this pitch-black lightning was comparable to a full-power attack from a Soul Sage.
Even Title Douluo specializing in lightning wouldn't be able to stay in such an environment for long.
"Let's go, take me up there!"
After a deep look, Xiao Yu spoke to the Thunder Dragon Bear.
"Dragon King, the dragon aura inside the secret realm is too strong, and I'm already severely injured. If I go up there, I might not make it back. Could you go up alone?
Don't worry, the path is easy to follow. I've planted an 80,000-year Thunderstorm Devil Vine up there, and I've already notified it. It will guide you in my place!"
The Thunder Dragon Bear spoke with utmost seriousness.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu didn't press further and replied calmly, "Alright, then go back and protect my companions while they absorb their spirit rings. Escort them out of the Silent Thunder Gorge. As for Thunder Howl's corpse, you can take it as a token of my gratitude."
The Thunder Dragon Bear's face lit up with joy, and it nodded excitedly.
Seeing the Thunder Dragon Bear's agreement, Xiao Yu flapped his dragon wings and flew toward the mountain peak with Wo Long.
As for the pitch-black lightning, to Xiao Yu, who now possessed a semi-divine body and had withstood Yu Yuanzhen's full-power ninth soul skill, it was nothing more than a tickle.
Watching Xiao Yu's retreating figure, the Thunder Dragon Bear hurried back to the previous location with a look of delight.
Although Thunder Howl was detestable, his body contained a significant amount of dragon blood essence. If the Thunder Dragon Bear could absorb it all, his strength might increase even further.
As the Thunder Dragon Bear left the valley, Xiao Yu flew to the mountain peak.
Upon arriving, he saw a plant standing tall on the peak, completely enveloped by the pitch-black lightning.
Thunderstorm Devil Vine.
A top-tier plant-type spirit beast capable of absorbing lightning to cultivate.
Even compared to the Blue Silver Emperor, the Thunderstorm Devil Vine was not inferior.
The only difference was that the Thunderstorm Devil Vine's vitality wasn't as strong as the Blue Silver Emperor's.
But its offensive power was top-notch!
Perhaps this was why the Thunder Dragon Bear had placed it here as a gatekeeper.
Following the Thunderstorm Devil Vine's guidance, Xiao Yu put away Wo Long and soon arrived before a distorted space.
The distorted space didn't look very large, only about five meters tall.
But since both the Thunder Dragon Bear and Thunder Howl had entered this space before, the entrance was likely larger than it appeared.
However, to be cautious, Xiao Yu decided to contact the Silver Dragon King.
Upon sensing the familiar aura from Xiao Yu's side, the Silver Dragon King immediately spoke.
"Xiao Yu, activate your Dragon King's aura and enter. I can sense that there are many... of my kind inside."
The Silver Dragon King trailed off, her last words replaced by silence.
Although she didn't finish, Xiao Yu understood what she meant.
Without saying anything, Xiao Yu silently activated his Dragon King's domain and stepped into the vortex.
The vortex seemed to sense Xiao Yu's Dragon King's aura and actively guided him inside.
Soon after entering the vortex, Xiao Yu felt his vision darken.
His body felt as if it had entered a warm embrace, allowing the vortex to transport him to a certain location.
