The passage is not long.

After walking less than fifty steps, the black stone bricks underfoot disappeared, replaced by rough natural rocks.

The temperature was also changing; it got colder the further we went.

Thirty meters ahead.

A curtain of light stretched across the space.

The light curtain stretched from the ground all the way to the rock wall overhead, completely blocking the passage.

Nine layers of array patterns were stacked together.

Each layer operates independently, and each has a different color of light.

Intertwined, they illuminated the entire light screen in a colorful yet eerie way.

This is something that no amount of mental power can penetrate.

Lin Feng walked to the front of the light screen and stopped.

He released his sixth-grade spiritual power and attached it to the surface.

The first layer of array patterns was penetrated by spiritual energy.

Breakthrough with ease.

The second layer presents resistance.

When mental energy is pushed forward, the array patterns generate a repulsive force, like rowing against the current.

But we can still manage to get through it, it's just that it's very taxing.

The third layer.

The mental energy crashed into a wall.

This statement is not an exaggeration.

The propulsion speed dropped to zero, and the repulsive force of the array patterns began to push back, as if an invisible hand was pushing his mental energy outward.

If you push too hard, the array patterns will backfire.

Lin Feng withdrew his mental energy, feeling a stinging pain in his mind.

We took a step back and observed the situation again.

The nine layers of array patterns operate independently, but at different speeds.

The outermost layer rotates the fastest, and the innermost layer rotates the slowest.

Each layer has a weak node that moves along the trajectory of the array pattern.

The position of the node is constantly changing.

Lin Feng stared at it for a while.

The nine nodes will briefly align in a straight line every four minutes or so.

The duration was less than one second.

He waited a moment.

Four minutes.

Nine points of light were arranged in a line.

Lin Feng compressed his mental energy to the extreme, transforming it into a needle, and instantly pierced through the straight line connecting the nine nodes.

It penetrated.

The spiritual energy entered the seal.

The feedback image.

The space is not large, about 100 meters in radius.

A giant array was carved on the ground, its patterns more than ten times more complex than those outside.

At the center of the formation, a strange beast crouched.

It is not large, about three meters long, and has the shape of a dragon, with its entire body covered in dark purple scales.

His limbs were fixed to the ground by chains of the array, and a halo was wrapped around his neck.

It doesn't look very big.

But as soon as the mental energy touched the aura layer on its body surface, it was bounced back.

Emperor-level.

The moment Lin Feng's mental energy was bounced back, the Nether Dragon opened its eyes.

Dark purple vertical pupils.

There was no fear, no anger in his pupils.

Only murderous intent.

Pure, undiluted killing intent.

A mental shockwave blasted out from inside the seal.

It passed through the light barrier and smashed directly into Lin Feng's head.

hum!

Lin Feng's mind was jolted.

The mental defenses he had built were shattered in one blow, his brain throbbed with pain, and his ears were ringing.

He took three steps back.

A warm flow surged from my nasal cavity.

He raised his hand and wiped it; his hand was covered in blood.

The mental attack, at the Martial Emperor level, struck through nine layers of seals; only a tiny bit of it leaked out, yet it still caused him to bleed from the nose.

But that was the end of the Nether Dragon's attack.

It launched another attack.

The mental shockwave struck the light barrier but was blocked by the array patterns.

The seal limits its output ceiling.

It can only use a very small portion of its power for mental attacks; it cannot unleash its physical power at all.

Lin Feng wiped away the blood from his nose and his breathing calmed down.

It's impossible to win.

The second stage of Martial Saint is separated from the Martial Emperor level by an entire major realm.

Even if it is sealed and restricted, he still does not have the ability to kill it or subdue it.

But the value of this Nether Dragon...

A trump card at the level of a Martial Emperor.

If we can subdue them, the entire landscape of the Dragon Kingdom will change.

Lin Feng bypassed the light curtain and walked around the outer perimeter of the sealed area.

In the corner, a skeleton.

He sat cross-legged, his hands forming a hand seal he had never seen before.

The skeleton was in a very upright position, having been dead for countless years, yet still maintaining the posture it had taken in life.

There was a line of text carved on the ground in front of the skeleton.

The engravings are very deep; they were made stroke by stroke with my fingers.

"I used my remaining body to continue the seal for fifty years, until I died from exhaustion. If anyone has the ability, kill or capture it, but do not let it break free of the seal. Once this beast escapes, the surrounding thousands of miles will be filled with devastation."

Lin Feng looked at the skeleton for a while.

To the right of the skeleton lay a jade slip, about the size of a thumb, its surface gleaming faintly.

Lin Feng picked it up and infused it with his spiritual energy.

The jade slip contains a lot of information, but there is only one core point.

A set of beast taming secret techniques, specifically designed for imprinting the spirits of dragon-like beasts.

The usage conditions are clearly stated.

First, you need a mental power of grade seven or above.

Second, the target must be in a state of severe injury and near death.

Both conditions are indispensable.

He has a seventh-grade spiritual power, but he can compensate with the Eye of Ten Thousand Beasts.

However, it's still far from enough to severely injure and bring a Martial Emperor-level Nether Dragon to the brink of death.

Lin Feng put the jade slip away.

He returned to the light screen, pressed his mental energy against it again, and carefully scanned the remaining energy of the nine layers of array patterns.

It is decaying.

The brightness of the array pattern was slightly dimmer than when he first saw it.

The decay rate is slow, but it is indeed decaying.

I did a rough calculation.

At this rate, the seal can only last for three to five years at most.

If no one takes action within five years, this Martial Emperor-level Nether Dragon will break free of its seal on its own.

At that time, the area within a thousand miles...

That is the area of ​​the Northwest Military Region.

Lin Feng went through all the information sealed in his mind.

He turned around and walked back.

After exiting the passage, we returned to the interior of the Black Tower.

The path from the seventh floor downwards was clear, and all the trial puppets had been destroyed, with fragments scattered all along the way.

Step out of the tower gate.

Four of the five areas in the entire secret realm have been cleared.

Mineral veins, medicinal fields, weapon zones, and the Black Tower.

The harvest has far exceeded expectations.

But the greatest gain wasn't the ores and elixirs, but the information about the Nether Dragon inside the seal.

It's time to go out.

Lin Feng walked towards the entrance.

After passing through the scree area and across the vast plain scattered with dragon bones, the entrance to the stone-staircase passage came into view.

The stone gate was closed.

He took the jade pendant out of his storage ring, pressed it against the door panel, infused it with his blood and energy, and resonated with his spiritual power.

The stone gate opened.

The light from outside pierced through the window.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and stepped out of the stone gate.

The griffins were still circling above the entrance.

The earth dragon, which was lying not far away, raised its head slightly when it saw him come out.

everything is normal.

But just as he took three steps out of the stone gate, the communicator on his waist rang.

The signal was intermittent, and a few words were barely squeezed out from the hissing noise.

"Lin Feng, someone... has trespassed into the secret realm's coordinates... and leaked them..."

The voice belonged to a military liaison officer.

The signal dropped again.

Lin Feng looked up.

The griffin suddenly let out a sharp warning cry.

To the southeast of the wasteland, several black dots appeared on the horizon.

It is rapidly approaching.
