Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 261 Dragon Corpse

"It seems we've all gained quite a bit this time."

Shi An smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over Yun Xi and Shi Yi, his tone carrying a hint of ease.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi nodded slightly, his double pupils gleaming, as if he was still savoring the battle and the mystery of the divine power: "After witnessing your performance just now, I have gained a new understanding of the divine power 'Overturning the Sea,' and I think I will be able to master it soon."

"Then congratulations, little brother."

Hearing that Shi Yi would soon be able to master the Overturning Sea technique, Shi An was genuinely happy for him. However, he then looked at Yun Xi, whose expression was slightly complicated, and said, "Little Xi..."

However, before Shi An could speak, Yun Xi raised her hand, lightly touched his lips with her index finger, and shook her head slightly, saying, "Brother An, I'm fine."

After saying that, Yunxi stood up and looked into the distance, her purple skirt swaying gently in the currents of the seabed: "Let's go and continue exploring. There are still many opportunities in this Heavenly River Secret Realm. We can't let them slip away."

"it is good."

Seeing Yunxi's expression, Shi An wisely refrained from saying anything more and followed her lead to continue the exploration.

"call out!"

The three of them flashed and transformed into three streaks of light, speeding away into the distance.

As they left, the tranquil rift valley returned to its secluded state, with only the gentle flow of water, as if nothing had ever happened.

Unbeknownst to them, the three of them had been traveling together in the Heavenly River Secret Realm for several months.

Along the way, they encountered many rare and exotic beasts, forbidden opportunities, and also met many cultivators who were also seeking opportunities in the secret realm.

Of course, some dangers were also encountered.

However, with their strength, they easily resolved various crises and also obtained many precious natural treasures.

Until this day...
Something's not right here!

Yunxi frowned, a hint of seriousness flashing in her purple eyes as she warily looked ahead.

The seawater ahead was an eerie deep purple, emitting a faint glow, as if hiding endless secrets. Even the surrounding atmosphere had become oppressive, making people wary.

Shi Yi's double pupils shifted slightly as he surveyed his surroundings. He said in a deep voice, "Indeed, this aura contains an ancient pressure, as if it were left over from ancient times. Perhaps, some ancient ruins are hidden here."

Shi An's eyes were also sharp as he stared intently at the deep purple sea ahead: "Since we're already here, let's go take a look. Maybe the opportunity we're looking for is hidden here!"

Upon hearing this, Yunxi and Shiyi exchanged glances, then nodded in unison, "Okay!"

And so, the three of them cautiously made their way toward the deep purple sea.

As they ventured deeper, the atmosphere around them grew increasingly oppressive, as if an invisible pair of eyes were watching them.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deep rumble came from the depths of the sea, causing the entire sea area to tremble slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a huge crack slowly opened up from the seabed, and purple seawater rushed into it like a tide, forming a huge whirlpool.

"careful!"

Seeing this, Shi An immediately shouted and quickly formed hand seals. Water tornadoes rose up around him, protecting the three of them.

Yunxi and Shiyi also summoned their respective magical treasures, watching the crack warily.

"what is that?"

Yunxi's voice carried a hint of surprise and doubt. She had never seen such a bizarre sight before, as if some powerful force was hidden in this sea, trying to break free of its restraints. "Whatever it is, let's take a look first."

While manipulating the waterspout, Shi An led the two of them slowly closer to the crack.

Time passed slowly, and as they drew closer, the three felt the aura emanating from the crack growing stronger, as if an ancient power was awakening.

Suddenly, a huge figure slowly rose from the crack. It was a giant purple dragon, hundreds of feet long, its scales shimmering with an eerie light, radiating a powerful aura.

"This is... a dragon?!"

Looking at the enormous dragon body in front of her, Yunxi couldn't help but gasp. She had never imagined that she would encounter such a powerful being in such a place.

Shi Yi's eyes also flashed as he stared at the dragon, puzzled: "It's still alive?"

As soon as Shi Yi finished speaking, Shi An immediately shook his head and denied it, saying, "No, he's already dead."

His gaze was fixed on the purple dragon. After careful observation, he said with a hint of certainty, "Its life force has long been extinguished. It is now nothing more than a corpse."

"It's just that because he was so powerful in life, even after death, the aura left behind on him can still make us feel extremely oppressed."

Shi An frowned, his gaze fixed intently on the enormous dragon corpse.

He could clearly sense the residual power on the dragon's corpse, which, even after so many years, was still not to be underestimated.

"boom!"

Just then, the purple dragon's corpse suddenly trembled violently, as if something was awakening within it.

Immediately afterwards, an ancient and powerful aura erupted from the dragon's body, instantly permeating the entire sea area and making the three of them feel an invisible pressure.

"Be careful, there's something wrong with this dragon!"

Upon seeing this, Shi An's expression instantly hardened, and his hand seals changed, causing the water tornado to surge even more violently, protecting the three of them completely.

Yunxi was also surrounded by a brilliant purple glow, and runes flashed in her hands, ready to deal with any potential dangers at any time.

Shi Yi's double pupils also flashed, staring intently at the dragon's corpse, trying to find the root of this anomaly.

"Ow!"

In an instant, to the astonishment of the three, with a loud roar, the eyes of the dragon's corpse suddenly opened, and two beams of purple light shot out, piercing the sky.

Then, it opened its mouth wide, and a powerful suction force emanated from it, not only causing the surrounding seawater to rush into its mouth, but also forming a huge whirlpool, which caused the waterspout where the three people were to begin to sway precariously.

"Is it going to suck us in?"

Looking at the dragon's appearance, the three were puzzled, but they did not give up, because no one knew what would happen if they entered its body.

"Stay steady, don't get sucked in!"

Shi An shouted loudly, his hand seals changing again, and more water tornadoes surged from all directions, trying to counteract the powerful suction.

Yunxi's hands moved swiftly, and purple runes flew out from her hands, transforming into strong ropes that wrapped around the three of them, tightly connecting them to prevent them from being separated by the suction force.

Shi Yi then unleashed his double pupil divine power, shooting two mysterious beams of light at the dragon's corpse in an attempt to find its weakness.

However, the dragon had already died, and its body was nothing but death energy. Even with the power of the double pupils, all that could be seen was a corpse.
