Li Wei followed Torresta to the seventh floor.

The seventh floor was dim and lightless.

Like a cage that would never see the light of day.

In fact, that’s exactly what it was—a cage.

A cage Torresta had specially prepared to imprison the Fire Dragon Soul.

Inside the cage, the Fire Dragon Soul suddenly sensed Li Wei’s aura and was ecstatic.

’Damn! That human is finally here!’

’He finally found me.’

A strange light flickered in the Fire Dragon Soul’s eyes.

’As long as I can trick that human over here and possess his body, I can leave this godforsaken place.’

’I’m finally getting out of here!’

The Fire Dragon Soul was thrilled.

It hurriedly rushed toward the cage’s exit.

But when it reached the exit, it felt like something was wrong.

’Why is that old geezer who’s been guarding me here too?’

’Are they working together?’

’Whatever. As long as I can escape this place, I don’t care who he is.’

After walking into the seventh floor, Li Wei also felt the Power of Dragon Blood within him stir.

Torresta glanced at him and said with a chuckle, "You’ve accepted the power of that Red Dragon?"

Li Wei nodded. "I have."

Torresta said, "No wonder that Red Dragon was so excited when it sensed your arrival."

Li Wei’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Is there something wrong with this power inside me?"

Torresta said, "There’s no problem. Its Dragon Soul is imprisoned here. No matter how powerful it is, it can’t affect the outside world."

"However, since you possess its bloodline, it will be much easier for it to possess your body."

Li Wei’s lip twitched. ’And you call that "no problem"?’

’This Red Dragon is really no good.’

’I was just after a little bit of its Dragon Blood power.’

’And it’s after my entire body!’

Li Wei shook his head. Now he had no psychological burden about using the Red Dragon Soul for the Polluted Earth Rebirth Ceremony.

Before, he had felt a little bad about it.

After all, the Red Dragon had given him a boon.

Doing this felt a bit like repaying kindness with enmity.

Now, he no longer felt that way at all.

Li Wei and Torresta arrived in front of the cage.

A ball of flame suddenly emerged from the darkness, morphing into a giant Fire Dragon Head that stared at the two people outside.

Seeing Li Wei and Torresta standing peacefully together, the Red Dragon felt a little suspicious.

However, it didn’t change its original plan.

This was its only chance to escape.

Torresta stretched out his hand and said, "I’m going to open the cage. Are you ready?"

Li Wei nodded. "Ready. This isn’t the first time."

The last monster that tried to burrow into his body and possess it had already been turned to ash.

Not even a speck was left.

Torresta glanced at him, thinking, ’Just what have you been through?’

He didn’t dwell on it and reached out to open the cage.

The instant a crack opened in the cage, the Red Dragon Soul eagerly squeezed out and shot into Li Wei’s body, attempting to possess it.

But the moment it entered Li Wei’s body, the Red Dragon Soul froze.

’What the hell is this place?’

’Isn’t this a human body?’

Li Wei had already used Elementalization, maintaining his outward appearance with the Illusion Technique.

The moment the Red Dragon Soul bored into his body, it flew directly into the Elemental Furnace Li Wei had constructed for it.

An Elemental Furnace formed from temperatures in the millions of degrees, reinforced by the Middle Level Flame Rule, became the Red Dragon Soul’s new prison.

The Red Dragon Soul realized things had gone wrong and tried to escape.

But the moment it touched the wall of the Elemental Furnace, it felt its soul being scorched by excruciating pain.

"ROAR!"

The Red Dragon Soul let out a furious roar inside Li Wei.

The roar sent violent waves churning through Li Wei’s Sea of Heart.

His very soul trembled.

However, it wasn’t enough to pose a threat to Li Wei.

Torresta glanced at Li Wei and asked, "Are you sure you can handle it?"

"If you really can’t, let me do it. Although I don’t have much power left, it’s still enough to control a Dragon Soul that’s just barely hanging on."

Li Wei looked at Torresta’s increasingly illusory body, which was on the verge of disappearing.

He shook his head and said, "No, it’s fine. I can handle it."

"I’m heading to the Dragon Fall Slope Secret Realm."

"Alright. Be careful on your way," Torresta advised.

Li Wei nodded and, with Torresta’s help, teleported directly outside Maple City.

He rushed to Dragon Fall Slope at top speed.

He found the location of the fragile point in the Secret Realm that he had marked earlier.

He cast a spell.

"Space Ripping Skill!"

RIP!

The space at the fragile connection point between the Secret Realm and the main world was torn open.

A passage leading into the Dragon Fall Slope Secret Realm was opened.

Li Wei quickly stepped inside.

After he entered, the spatial rift rapidly vanished.

A patrolling Mage who arrived late saw the last moments of the spatial rift’s disappearance and hurriedly reported it to the Mage Association.

Li Wei entered the Dragon Fall Slope Secret Realm.

He glanced around and found that the place hadn’t changed much from before.

Li Wei flew straight toward the deepest part of the Secret Realm.

The Dragon Fall Slope Secret Realm had a massive No-fly Barrier that extended above the treetops.

Li Wei could only fly at a low altitude, which slowed him down considerably.

He released the Little Bone Dragon.

"Release your Dragon’s Might."

The Little Bone Dragon let out a small roar, and its Dragon’s Might spread out.

RUMBLE!

The animals, Magic Beasts, and Dragon Blood Creatures in the surrounding forest felt the deterrence of the Dragon’s Might and all fled for their lives.

The Little Bone Dragon curiously sized up its surroundings.

Li Wei snatched it up to prevent it from flying off and getting left behind.

"Stop looking. There will be plenty of time later."

Li Wei glanced at the Little Bone Dragon, but he couldn’t see any features that marked it as female.

’Bones should all look the same.’

The Little Bone Dragon continuously released its Dragon’s Might. Wherever Li Wei went, animals and Magic Beasts kept their distance.

Dragon Blood Creatures would normally attack beings that contained Dragon Blood to seize more of it.

However, they would never dare to proactively attack a true member of the Dragon Race.

The Dragon’s Might alone was enough to make them tremble from deep within their bloodlines, paralyzing them.

Soon, Li Wei brought the Little Bone Dragon to the deepest part of the Secret Realm.

He found the hidden cave and led the Little Bone Dragon inside.

When the Little Bone Dragon saw the dead Red Dragon’s corpse, it bared its fangs and took on a ferocious expression.

Li Wei was a little surprised.

After a moment of thought, he understood why.

The Red Dragon belonged to the Five-Colored Evil Dragon faction. In the great war that split the Dragon Race a thousand years ago, it was part of the Demon Dragon King’s camp.

The Little Bone Dragon’s mother was a Giant Dragon from the Saint Dragon King’s camp.

The Dragon Race usually passes down memories and instincts to their descendants through their bloodline.

Clearly, the Little Bone Dragon had inherited a hatred for the Five-Colored Evil Dragons.

This wasn’t hard to explain.

After all, the Little Bone Dragon’s mother had died at the hands of the Demon Dragon King.

It was normal for the hatred she felt before death to be passed on to her offspring.

Li Wei patted the Little Bone Dragon’s head, telling it to calm down.

Then he turned to observe his surroundings.

Li Wei discovered that the Magic Arrays spread throughout the cave were, in fact, the Array for the Polluted Earth Rebirth Ceremony.

He then glanced at where the Red Dragon’s corpse was fixed in place.

It was the exact position where the Dragon Corpse was supposed to be placed in the Polluted Earth Rebirth Ceremony.

A smile spread across Li Wei’s face.

"It seems Torresta had already prepared everything to resurrect the Little Bone Dragon."
