Na'er lifted her Silver Dragon Spear, and a fiery red dragon soul flew out from within it.
This was a dragon soul she had previously absorbed as a precaution.
If they were anywhere else, even with Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er joining forces, they would stand no chance against Xia Yi. However, this was the Dragon Valley Small World—the Dragon Tomb.
This was her domain.
The energy contained within this dragon soul was at the level of a Title Douluo.
It wasn't that Na'er didn't want to summon a stronger dragon soul—it was that she didn't dare to.
Most Title Douluo-level dragon souls were nothing more than mindless energy bodies, lacking intelligence.
But the god-level dragon souls were different. They still retained their memories and consciousness from when they were alive.
Na'er only dared to slightly invoke the pressure of their dragon might while they slumbered to suppress Xia Yi, this anomaly.
Yet, as Xia Yi's aura became fully replaced by the Golden Dragon King's presence, their dragon might no longer targeted him.
Because they retained their memories and intelligence, Na'er feared that if they awakened, they would instead assist Xia Yi.
She did not dare to wake them.
The dragon soul Na'er was using now belonged to a Blazing Fire Dragon.
The Dragon God possessed two divine cores: Creation and Destruction.
The Creation Core granted the Dragon God wisdom and control over elemental forces, while the Destruction Core bestowed immense strength and an indestructible body.
Although the Dragon God created all dragons, he primarily used the Creation Core to do so. The Nine Dragon Kings all originated from the Creation Core.
They belonged to the Silver Dragon King's lineage.
Conversely, dragons originating from the Destruction Core—the Golden Dragon King's lineage—were exceedingly rare.
Examples included the Tyrant Dragon and the Devouring Dragon.
Due to their scarcity, their bloodlines were mostly impure.
Additionally, under the influence of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, this lineage lacked any truly powerful beings.
Even at the peak of the dragon race's reign, the Golden Dragon King's lineage had no real presence among them.
As a result, the dragon souls in the Dragon Tomb were almost entirely from the Silver Dragon King's lineage.
The Blazing Fire Dragon was one of the most powerful fire-attribute dragons within the Silver Dragon lineage. Even though it existed only as a soul, it was still terrifying. The moment it appeared, it unleashed a fearsome dragon flame toward Xia Yi.
"ROAR!"
An earth-shaking dragon roar erupted from Xia Yi's mouth. The Blazing Fire Dragon's flames disintegrated midair, and its soul collapsed onto the ground.
Though they were of different lineages, all dragons ultimately originated from the Dragon God. The Golden Dragon King's aura had an overwhelming suppression effect on all dragons, including the Nine Dragon Kings.
Xia Yi's frenzied gaze burned with madness. He ignored the fallen Blazing Fire Dragon's soul, gripping the Golden Dragon Spear tightly as he lunged toward the descending Na'er.
"Na'er!"
Tang Wulin's expression changed drastically. Though he didn't fully understand what was happening, he knew now wasn't the time for hesitation. He stomped the ground, and eight golden dragon heads shot toward Xia Yi.
The self-created soul skill of the Crimson Dragon Douluo—Crimson Dragon Nine Forms—had transformed into the Golden Dragon Nine Forms in Tang Wulin's hands.
Simultaneously, countless strands of Blue Silver Emperor vines surged into the air, wrapping around Na'er and pulling her aside.
Boom!
Eight golden dragon heads struck Xia Yi, causing his body to sway slightly.
The combined efforts of the Blue Silver Emperor's pull and Tang Wulin's attack allowed Na'er to narrowly evade the Golden Dragon Spear and land beside Tang Wulin.
"Na'er, what's going on?"
Tang Wulin looked at Na'er. Why was Xia Yi in the Dragon Valley Small World?
Why was Na'er here as well?
And how could Na'er control the dragon corpses and souls within the Dragon Valley Small World?
"Xia Yi has been affected by the Golden Dragon King's aura and has lost his sanity. Anything living that enters his perception will be slaughtered. Let me suppress him first, and I'll explain later."
A silver crystal appeared in Na'er's hand. She didn't hesitate and pressed the crystal against her chest.
AOOOHHH!
Na'er let out a crisp dragon roar.
The next moment, she transformed into a massive silver dragon.
Na'er originally did not possess the ability to transform into a dragon, but by utilizing a crystal condensed from the Silver Dragon King's essence within the Dragon God's soul, she gained the temporary ability to do so.
ROAR!
Her dragon cry resounded throughout the Dragon Valley Micro-World. Wherever the sound reached, dragon souls began to gather in response, flying toward her location.
"Let's see how many you can suppress."
In her dragon form, Na'er sneered. She grabbed Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er and flew toward the incoming dragon souls.
Even after transforming, she didn't have the confidence to face Xia Yi head-on.
She planned to wait until the dragon souls overwhelmed Xia Yi before making her move.
Watching Na'er transform into a giant dragon, Tang Wulin was utterly stunned.
He never imagined that his little sister would actually be a dragon.
Surrounded by an increasing number of dragon souls, Xia Yi—whose eyes were filled with madness—had no concept of fear or retreat.
He grasped the Golden Dragon Spear tightly and kicked off the ground with immense force.
BOOM!
The ground cracked apart as Xia Yi shot into the air like a golden cannonball. In an instant, he caught up to the dragon-formed Na'er and landed on her back.
He raised the Golden Dragon Spear and thrust it toward her neck.
Na'er swung her dragon tail, tilting her head to the side.
Even so, in the next instant, Xia Yi's Golden Dragon Spear had already pierced her neck.
Fortunately, she reacted in time, avoiding her vital arteries and trachea. The spear only penetrated flesh, but blood gushed out.
"Na'er!"
Tang Wulin shouted. He knew better than anyone how terrifying the Golden Dragon Spear was.
"I'm fine!"
Taking advantage of Xia Yi's embedded spear, Na'er swung her tail with full force.
Her massive dragon tail slammed into Xia Yi, sending him flying off her back.
As he was knocked away, Xia Yi refused to let go, pulling the Golden Dragon Spear from her neck.
He tumbled across the ground for over ten meters before coming to a stop, only to find himself completely surrounded by ten dragon souls.
Instead of fear, Xia Yi grinned at Na'er from a distance.
The next moment, six pure white fox tails slowly emerged behind him.
"Martial soul evolution?! How did his martial soul evolve again?"
Tang Wulin was stunned, an overwhelming sense of powerlessness rising within him.
Xia Yi had already been ahead of everyone, and now, with his martial soul evolving, he would utterly overshadow them all.
Five pitch-black soul rings slowly appeared around his body.
"Impossible! How has his martial soul remained unaffected by the Golden Dragon King's essence?"
Na'er's expression turned even more shocked than Tang Wulin's.
Even a mere trace of the Golden Dragon King's essence was enough to bring about an earth-shattering transformation in anyone.
Yet Xia Yi's martial soul remained completely unaffected.
Xia Yi gave them no time to think.
Facing the encirclement of over a dozen dragon souls, his second and fifth soul rings glowed simultaneously.
"True Fox Thought Technique: One Thought to Banish Three Thousand Worries!"
Xia Yi hovered midair, his eyes snapping open.
His palms struck out in rapid succession, sending a barrage of densely packed palm strikes toward the surrounding dragon souls, each strike faster than raindrops.
"Damn it! The Golden Dragon King's essence is losing its influence—his sanity is slowly returning. We must leave!"
Na'er's face changed dramatically.
Grabbing Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er, she flew deeper into the Dragon Valley.
Now that Xia Yi was regaining his sanity, sacrificing him was no longer an option.
In the outer region of the Dragon Valley, the forces at her disposal were limited.
The dragon souls here were not enough to kill Xia Yi.
Only by luring him deeper into the valley could she regain the upper hand.
Na'er wasn't worried about him not following.
Although Xia Yi was slowly regaining his sanity, he could only recover a sliver at best.
The Golden Dragon King's essence had already fused into his spiritual world—he was doomed to be dominated by its violent instincts.
As long as there were living beings in the Dragon Valley Small Word, Xia Yi would continue to slaughter.
Until he had wiped out everyone—including them.
