137: Holy Might Pursues Soul, Dragon Realm Opportunity

"Boom—!"

The energy of the world became violent and turbulent in that instant. Hun Qianmo's substantial Saint Might, like an invisible giant net, tightened from all directions, squeezing the space around Li Ao and the two women.

The speed of the gray stream of light drastically decreased, as if they had fallen into a thick swamp, making every inch of progress extremely difficult.

Li Ao's expression was utterly solemn. He could feel the cold, deathly silent aura rapidly closing in behind him, like a sharp sword hanging overhead, ready to strike down at any moment.

The might of a Dou Saint was far beyond that of a Dou Venerate; they were beings who had truly touched the rules of heaven and earth. Even though he controlled the Nirvana Origin, he felt powerless in the face of such an absolute gap in strength.

"He has locked onto us!" A look of determination flashed in Medusa's purple eyes. The seven-colored brilliance within her body began to gather again, clearly preparing for a desperate fight.

Xiao Yi Xian's face was pale, and she bit her lower lip. The Calamity Poison Qi within her body stirred restlessly, but under the suppression of the Saint Might, even the poison Qi became sluggish.

"It hasn't come to that yet!" Li Ao roared softly, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes. He fiercely bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of vital blood onto the wisp of Nirvana Origin on his fingertip!

"Buzz!" Nourished by the vital blood, the wisp of gray Qi suddenly surged, emitting a deeper, more terrifying intent of termination!

Li Ao forcefully controlled this surging power using his Soul power. Instead of using it for flight, he fiercely slashed it toward the space ahead that was faintly sealed by the Saint Might!

"Open for me!"

"Tear—!" A subtle yet incredibly clear spatial rift, as if cut by an invisible blade, suddenly appeared ahead!

Behind the rift was not a stable spatial tunnel, but chaotic Void Realm turbulence, filled with unknown dangers! But at this moment, this was the only path to survival!

Without hesitation, Li Ao took the two women and plunged headfirst into the spatial rift!

"Hmph! Dying struggles!" Hun Qianmo's cold voice followed closely, like maggots clinging to bone.

A massive palm, condensed from vast Nether Death Qi, blotted out the sky and sun, reaching directly into the still-open spatial rift and snatching toward the three figures!

Wherever the palm passed, even the chaotic Void Realm turbulence was forcibly smoothed and frozen!

The giant palm was about to crush the three of them!

It was at this critical moment that another anomaly occurred!

"Roar—!" A Dragon roar, seemingly from the ancient primordial era and filled with endless majesty and power, suddenly exploded from the depths of the Void Realm!

This Dragon roar was not aimed at Li Ao and the two women, but directly slammed into the Nether giant palm!

The Dragon roar contained a brutal, overbearing, terrifying power capable of tearing apart stars, and it violently collided with the Nether giant palm!

"Bang!!!" An indescribably terrifying energy storm erupted at the spatial rift!

The Nether giant palm trembled violently. Most of the Death Qi condensed upon it was scattered by the shockwave of the Dragon roar, and its grasping motion stalled!

"Void Ancient Dragon?!" Hun Qianmo's voice, filled with shock and rage, drifted over, laced with disbelief. "How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Hall of Souls?!"

In the depths of the Void Realm, an unimaginably vast, blurry Dragon shadow flashed past, leaving only a deep, ancient voice echoing through the chaotic energy storm:

"Hun Qianmo, this place is close to the Dragon Domain. It is not where you run wild! Scram!"

As the voice fell, an even vaster spatial power surged forth. It was not an attack, but like a gentle tide, wrapping around Li Ao and the two women, forcibly pushing them away from the center of the energy storm toward the deeper parts of the Beast Region—the true core territory of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan—the Dragon Domain!

At the same time, that spatial power completely smoothed the spatial rift Li Ao had forcibly torn open, cutting off Hun Qianmo's pursuit.

"Void Ancient Dragon!! this saint has noted this!" Hun Qianmo's roar, full of fury and killing intent, was cut off behind them and rapidly faded into the distance.

Li Ao and the two women felt dizzy, wrapped by that soft yet irresistible spatial power, rapidly traversing the Void Realm.

After an unknown amount of time, the pressure around them eased. They were gently thrown out by the power, landing in a mountain forest shrouded in dense mist, where the air was filled with ancient and wild Qi.

Once their feet touched solid ground and they confirmed that Hun Qianmo's aura had vanished, the three truly sighed in relief, all feeling a sense of surviving a great catastrophe.

"Just now... did the Ancient Void Dragon Clan save us?" Xiao Yi Xian clutched her chest, still shaken and filled with disbelief.

A strange light shimmered continuously in Medusa's purple eyes. Feeling the Dragon Might in the air faintly resonate with a trace of her own Bloodline, she said deeply, "There's no mistake. That power, and that Dragon roar, were definitely from a Void Ancient Dragon. It's just... why would they help us?"

Li Ao was equally full of doubts. He recalled the dark-gold sharp claw they encountered in the spatial tunnel, as well as the majestic Dragon roar and deep voice just now.

The Ancient Void Dragon Clan did not seem to be a monolith. Moreover, their attitude toward them was quite strange: there was hostility (the claw attack) and assistance (driving away Hun Qianmo).

"Perhaps it's related to our experience in the Ancient Domain of Extinction, or perhaps... it's related to your Bloodline, Medusa," Li Ao guessed.

The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python Bloodline and the Void Ancient Dragon both belonged to the top tier of Demonic Beast Bloodlines, and perhaps there was some connection between them.

He looked around. Dense mist permeated the area. When he extended his Mental Energy, he found it was severely restricted, only able to perceive a very small nearby area.

The heaven and earth energy here was frighteningly rich, but also full of violent factors, and the spatial structure was far more stable than the outside world.

"This should already be within the boundaries of the Dragon Domain," Li Ao judged. "The Ancient Void Dragon Clan has an extremely strong sense of territory. Our accidental entry here means our fate is unpredictable."

Just as his voice faded, a faint rustling sound came from the dense mist ahead, along with several undisguised powerful auras rapidly approaching their location.

"It seems the masters have already discovered us uninvited guests." Li Ao stood up, shielding Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian behind him, his gaze calmly fixed on the depths of the mist.

If it is fortune, it is not disaster; if it is disaster, it cannot be avoided. Since they had already been drawn into the vortex of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, they might as well face it calmly.

Perhaps this perilous Dragon Domain also concealed unexpected Opportunities, as well as... the key to unlocking certain mysteries.
