Chapter 416: Secret Realm - Twilight Dragon Tomb!_2
He messaged @ three times, and soon after, Number Two's information came back.
Mo Yi: "This is a formation for extracting life energy and souls, a very evil fourth-tier formation."
Zi Liyuan: "Where is the extracted life energy and souls stored?"
Mo Yi: "I don't know, because the formation has a transfer effect. It's impossible to see where the energy is stored."
Zi Liyuan: "Okay, got it."
Ending the call with Number Two, Zi Liyuan patted Dilys.
"Dilys, let's enter the barrier, but let's not get close to the entrance of the Secret Realm."
The Black Dragon's immense head nodded, and the previously hovering behemoth immediately sank into the barrier, rapidly descending to the ground.
"The stench of decayed corpses is unbearable. How about I unleash a Dragon's Breath and scorch everything here?"
"I'm afraid if you unleash a Dragon's Breath, we might be forcibly captured by the entrance of the Secret Realm."
After retorting, Zi Liyuan, with Lao Xu, dismounted from the Black Dragon's back, and Dilys immediately transformed into human form, appearing beside him.
At that moment, Zi Liyuan felt a vibration through the contract in his soul connected with Hongsha, receiving a disjointed message.
"Dragon Tomb... Twilight... Dragonkin... Rebellion!"
The message was incomplete, circulating back and forth with only these eight words most distinct.
However, from these words, Zi Liyuan also gathered a great deal of information.
"As I thought, those dragonkin can't be trusted. No wonder their gazes towards Dilys felt off, a kind of jealous and repressed greedy desire."
Clearly, those dragonkin had designs on him, all for the sake of Dilys, the Black Dragon King.
"Dilys, does a Dragon Tomb count as an opportunity for you?"
Though Zi Liyuan had never seen a Dragon Tomb before, it was certainly worth exploring for a Necromancer; he might get his hands on a multitude of Dragon Souls and Dragon Bones.
If he could find a dragon corpse that hadn't fully decayed, that would be even better.
But it was clear, the dragonkin harbored ill intentions towards Dilys, the Black Dragon King, so danger was inevitable within the Secret Realm.
"If it really is a Dragon Tomb, then for me, it is definitely a great fortune. I might even find the legendary treasure exclusive to the Dragon Clan that I need to ascend to Legendary BOSS."
A flush of excitement appeared on Dilys's bewitching face, her eyes brimming with desire, but she forcibly suppressed it.
She wouldn't let her feelings influence her master's judgment or decisions.
Although the Dragon Tomb held a fatal attraction, it still paled in comparison to her master.
Becoming the Legendary BOSS, the Black Dragon King, was an immense temptation, but she believed that by closely following her master knight, Zi Liyuan, the future would be hers to seize!
And it wouldn't be too distant!
"In that case, let's enter."
With a nod, Zi Liyuan led the way toward the dark whirlpool.
As they walked, one protective spell, shield, and barrier after another were layered on him, Lao Xu, and Dilys.
In just a few steps, more than twenty different protective spells appeared on them, maxing out their defensive capabilities.
As Zi Liyuan approached the dark whirlpool, he immediately felt a force of spatial power envelop him.
In the next moment, his surroundings contorted, space ripped into countless shards, then reflected a myriad of fragmented images.
Finally, a vast image of a Dragon Tomb appeared in his sight, continually expanding, as if a giant beast swallowed him whole.
The sky whirled, and the stars shifted.
Zi Liyuan immediately pulled out his Magic Wand, his gaze vigilant all around, as his soul surged outward in a powerful scan.
In an instant, the topography within a 14,000-meter radius was mapped out in his mind.
Tomb, a huge Dragon Tomb, exuding massive Dragon Dignity Pressure, emitted a decaying stench, ceaselessly assaulting the souls of any nearby living beings.
"I feel like this Dragon Tomb has transformed from the death of a Giant Dragon?"
The Dignity Pressure was too overwhelming. Even though Zi Liyuan's Spirit had evolved into a Nether Spirit, he still found it hard to breathe under the dragon's might and even felt a nauseating sensation.
"Master, your feeling is correct. The entire Dragon Tomb is the transformation of a legendary Giant Dragon that has died."
Compared to Zi Liyuan, who felt extremely uncomfortable under the dragon's might, Dilys, who was following beside him, appeared somewhat excited at this moment.
Moreover, the dragon's might here had no effect on her; she even felt extremely close to it.
At the same time, she felt that within the Dragon Tomb, some kind of Treasure was calling out to her.
"Are you sure? Does a Legendary Giant Dragon Boss have such a massive size?"
This Dragon Tomb looked like a colossal mountain, reaching tens of thousands of meters in height. Although the interior of the Dragon Tomb was not detectable, it certainly wasn't small.
With such a body size, calling it a Legendary Giant Dragon Boss, Zi Liyuan had some trouble believing it.
It should be known that when Dilys's true form as the Black Dragon King unfurled, it was only a few hundred meters in height, and the length from the dragon's head to tail did not exceed four hundred meters.
Is there such a big gap between the size of the Legendary and Epic Boss dragons?
"A Sixth Tier Legendary Boss Dragon Emperor's true form being a hundred thousand meters in length is quite normal. This Dragon Emperor that has become a Dragon Tomb should be a Twilight Dragon Emperor. Its size is considered small among its rank."
Twilight Dragons are created from the essence of the Void Dragons and Black Dragons within the Dragon Clan, resulting in a mixed-blood Giant Dragon. They are inherently half a Rank lower than purebred Giant Dragons. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
This is also why Dilys felt a sense of closeness upon arriving here.
Because the Twilight Dragon carries the breath of a Black Dragon while also being suppressed by the bloodlines of Void Dragons and Black Dragons.
"Dilys, if you became a Sixth Tier Legendary Black Dragon King, how big could your true form be?"
Zi Liyuan did not know how strong Fifth or Sixth Tier legendary Giant Dragons were.
In the records of Blue Star, there were only descriptions of Fourth Tier Giant Dragons. There wasn't a single mention of the tiers above—Fifth, Sixth, Seventh.
Of course, Zi Liyuan could understand, because there simply were no dragons with such terrifying strength on Blue Star. They had a vast and mixed range of knowledge from the Sea of Realms to learn.
So many things that had little effect on them were not taught to them.
"How big exactly? I don't know. But within our inherited memories, a true form of a Black Dragon King reached a length of one million meters during its Sixth Tier."
The more massive the body size, the more energy it contains within, and naturally, the stronger the power.
Dilys's words sent a shiver down Zi Liyuan's spine.
In the face of such colossal beasts, small humans were nothing more than ants. Perhaps just a breath from one of them could kill a large number in an instant.
"Once you reach the Sixth Tier Legendary Giant Dragon Boss, I must see just how large your Black Dragon true form is. Let's go ahead, enter the Dragon Tomb, and be cautious. I can't detect the situation inside the Dragon Tomb."
Outside the Dragon Tomb, it was a barren expanse with no vegetation, surrounded by stone mountains, dead and lifeless.
Inside the Dragon Tomb, it was not detectable either. With the dragon's might oppressing him, he constantly felt a sense of danger as if his perception of danger had been utterly nullified.
There were many entrances to the Dragon Tomb, but there was only one main entrance, which had transformed from the dead Giant Dragon's head.
However, at this moment, the main entrance was not accessible to the Dragon Tomb, as a collapsed mountain had covered the front completely.
The collapse of the mountain had obvious signs of human intervention. Therefore, Zi Liyuan and his group naturally did not take the main entrance but instead chose a crevice to enter directly into the Dragon Tomb.
Inside the Dragon Tomb, the dragon's might was even more severe. The system even prompted Zi Liyuan that a negative dragon's might BUFF was stacked onto him, reducing All Attributes by 5%!
Moreover, Zi Liyuan's Soul Detection range was also severely compressed, only able to extend a thousand meters.
Fortunately, once they entered the Dragon Tomb, although the map hack was affected, it was not as severely compressed as the Soul Detection. It could still display the topography within a ten-thousand-meter radius.
However, inside the Dragon Tomb, it was filled with forces of the Void, Darkness, and Death, while other powers were greatly suppressed.
(It took three hours to type 4K characters. I haven't been in good shape these days, and from the 1st until now, I've been behind by 5 chapters, each 4K long. Lao Xu will try to catch up as soon as possible. *kneels in apology*~.)
