Not long after the conclusion of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament's duo competition, the other events were also completed one after another.
Xia Yi effortlessly secured the championship titles in both the Mecha Competition and the Solo Competition as well.
Even Long Yue had been defeated by him.
Naturally, no one else could be his match.
Five days later, Di Tian appeared in the Xingluo Hotel.
"Master, we have found the location of the Dragon Valley Small World. However..."
Di Tian hesitated, his gaze turning furious.
Upon arriving on the Xingluo Continent, he had begun searching for the Dragon Valley Small World.
At first, he had merely intended to test the waters.
Unexpectedly, he had actually found it.
"What is it?" Gu Yue asked curiously.
"The entrance to the Dragon Valley Small World is in the hands of the Tang Sect. Not long ago, the Tang Sect sent a group of young people into the Dragon Valley Small World for training. If we want to enter, we either have to forcibly tear open the spatial barrier of the Dragon Valley Small World or seize the entrance from the Tang Sect."
Di Tian clenched his fists tightly.
The Dragon Valley Small World was a dragon's graveyard.
Anyone would feel enraged seeing their ancestors' burial ground being used as a mere training ground.
"Let's tear open the space and enter. Once we merge with the Dragon Soul left in the dragon grave, reconstruct the Soul Beast God Realm, and relocate the soul beasts of the Star Dou Forest, we can settle accounts with them later." Gu Yue said in a deep voice.
She did not want to have a direct conflict with humanity yet because the surviving soul beasts of the Star Dou Forest still had no place to call home.
If they revealed themselves too soon, the remaining soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest could be wiped out entirely by human wrath.
"One more thing, Master. This time, both Little Master and that Tang Wulin are participating in the Tang Sect's training in the Dragon Valley. They have already entered the Dragon Valley Small World." Di Tian said solemnly.
"Could it be that she intends to seize the Dragon Soul left behind by the Dragon God?" Gu Yue furrowed her brows and took a deep breath. "We must set off immediately. We cannot let her get ahead of us."
Xia Yi and Gu Yue immediately stood up, preparing to leave Xingluo City.
However, just as they exited the Xingluo Hotel, Lan Fuozi appeared before them.
"Where are you two going?" Lan Fuozi directly intercepted them.
"What exactly do you want?" Xia Yi asked impatiently.
"I'm coming with you to make sure you don't bully Gu Yue." Lan Fuozi said righteously.
"Fuozi is being watched. I have matters to attend to and cannot leave Xingluo City for now. Take care of her for a while." The Devil Emperor's voice suddenly rang out in Xia Yi and Gu Yue's minds.
Someone had set their sights on Xia Yi, coveting his divine weapon, the Demon Chapter King's spirit soul, and his soul bones.
Similarly, Lan Fuozi's Eight-Colored Pearl was even more valuable than the Demon Chapter King's spirit soul and soul bones.
Naturally, she was also being targeted.
Xia Yi's mouth twitched slightly.
He had reason to suspect that the Devil Emperor was using them as a distraction to lure away the powerful figures in Xingluo City.
"So, you insist on following us?" Xia Yi glanced at Lan Fuozi.
"That's right." Lan Fuozi looked at Gu Yue, answering without hesitation.
"Fine, you can come with us, but I'll say this first—you must listen to me on the way." Xia Yi stated.
"Why should I?" Lan Fuozi asked, displeased.
"For no reason. If you don't like it, you can stay behind." Xia Yi replied indifferently.
"You…" Lan Fuozi was about to argue further but, upon meeting Xia Yi's gaze, immediately fell silent. She gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Fine, I'll listen to you, but your decisions better be reasonable."
Xia Yi completely ignored the latter half of her sentence.
Summoning his mecha, he took Gu Yue with him and boarded.
Without waiting for Lan Fuozi, he directly soared into the sky.
"You two—!" Lan Fuozi gritted her teeth but immediately summoned her two-word battle armor. With a light flap of her deep blue wings, she swiftly pursued them.
As soon as they departed, several hidden figures quickly followed after them.
Meanwhile, inside the Dragon Valley Small World—
Na'er raised her Silver Dragon Spear and pointed it toward the sky. In an instant, the dragon clouds above her were drawn in like water being siphoned and absorbed into her spear.
Her violet eyes became crystal-clear. She waved her hand at the colossal hundred-meter-long dragon skeleton before her.
To everyone's shock, the dragon skeleton slowly rose, then crawled toward her and lay down submissively.
Na'er leaped onto its back and commanded, "Take me to the Dragon Tomb at the center of the Dragon Valley Small World."
"Roar!"
The skeletal dragon let out a mighty roar. With a single flap of its bony wings, it carried Na'er skyward, flying toward the heart of the Dragon Valley Small World.
Riding on the dragon's back, Na'er held the Silver Dragon Spear. Wherever its aura passed, all the lingering dragon souls instinctively retreated.
Before long, she arrived at a thousand-meter-deep valley at the very center of the Dragon Valley Small World.
Looking down from above, a massive shimmering light could be seen within the valley.
The light glowed in seven colors and took the form of mist, making it impossible to see what lay inside.
Na'er gripped the Silver Dragon Spear and leaped from the skeletal dragon's back.
The seven-colored mist trembled slightly before parting to both sides, allowing her to descend unhindered.
As she passed through the mist, an enormous dragon came into view.
Or rather, a colossal dragon soul.
The dragon soul was over two thousand meters long, its entire body shimmering with radiant seven-colored light. Even its scales were seven-colored.
The scales appeared irregular in shape, yet they fit together perfectly—like countless gemstones set into place.
Its head was held high in an expression of supreme arrogance, exuding an indescribable presence.
This was the Dragon Soul of the Dragon God that Gu Yue had been desperately searching for.
Na'er cautiously extended the Silver Dragon Spear, reaching toward the dragon soul.
Her heart tightened with anticipation.
The moment the Silver Dragon Spear touched the Dragon God's soul—
The spear trembled violently.
A deep humming sound erupted, instantly amplifying to a deafening roar.
The massive Dragon God's soul seemed to come alive.
A powerful dragon's roar echoed throughout the entire Dragon Valley!
Every dragon soul within the valley instantly prostrated themselves on the ground.
The entire Dragon Tomb quivered, as if all the dragon skeletons within were awakening.
"Xia Yi, everything that belongs to you is destined to be my brother's." Na'er sneered coldly.
"I want to see what you can do against the power of the Dragon God's soul.
"And you, Gu Yue—I got here first. Let's see what you can do this time!"
Na'er smirked and thrust the Silver Dragon Spear into the Dragon God's soul, extracting two crystals—one gold, one silver.
She sat down cross-legged, continuously channeling her soul power into the silver crystal.
Meanwhile, Xia Yi and Gu Yue, along with Lan Fuozi, had barely left Xingluo City when—
Xia Yi's battle armor suddenly materialized involuntarily.
From his headpiece, the Reverse Scale that Gu Yue had given him erupted with intense spatial fluctuations.
Before either of them could react, Xia Yi's figure vanished from the mecha.
"Na'er!"
Gu Yue clenched her fists.
She had given Xia Yi the Reverse Scale so that, if he was ever in danger while she wasn't around, it would teleport him to her side.
She hadn't expected Na'er to use the Dragon God's soul to briefly take control of the Reverse Scale.
Silver light flickered around Gu Yue. She immediately stepped out of the mecha and grabbed Lan Fuozi.
The moment she caught Lan Fuozi, the two of them vanished simultaneously.
The hidden figures trailing Xia Yi all turned grim.
"Xia Yi and Gu Yue really can teleport through space."
Their expressions darkened.
Now, they had no idea where Gu Yue and Xia Yi had gone.
Even they were incapable of tracking Gu Yue's spatial teleportation.
