Li Yi unleashed [Black Flame Breaking the Air], sending a slash of black flames slashing towards the head of a stone statue. The flames collided with the statue, emitting a loud roar. Qi Yaozu then used [Dragon's Breath of Fury] to spit out blazing flames, forcing another stone statue back.
As time went on, the crystals glowed brighter and brighter, and the runes' brilliance gradually intensified. Finally, with the team members' joint efforts, all six crystals were activated, emitting a dazzling light that converged at the center of the stone gate.
The stone door slowly opened, and a powerful energy surged from behind it, revealing a mysterious underground world. Li Yi and his team saw a huge underground palace. In the center of the palace stood a giant dragon statue, exuding an incomparable sacred aura.
"This is the true core of the dragon vein power." Li Yi exclaimed, "We finally found it."
The team members entered the palace and felt the powerful energy surging into their bodies. Everyone was in high spirits, as if they had gained infinite power.
Upon entering the underground palace, Li Yi and his team felt the true power of the dragon veins. The surrounding walls were engraved with ancient dragon patterns, emitting a mysterious glow. The enormous dragon statue in the center of the palace was lifelike, as if it might awaken at any moment.
"We must be careful, there may be more mechanisms and guardians hidden here." Li Yi warned.
The team members advanced cautiously, observing their surroundings. Suddenly, they heard a deep, deep sound, like the roar of a distant dragon. As the sound grew closer, the entire palace began to shake.
"It seems that our arrival has been noticed." Qi Yaozu said, tightening his grip on the weapon.
At this moment, the eyes of the dragon statue suddenly lit up, and a powerful energy surged out of the statue, forming a huge energy barrier that trapped Li Yi and his team members.
"This is the protection mechanism of the dragon vein power. We must find a way to break the barrier." Li Yi analyzed.
The team dispersed, searching for clues to unlock the barrier. After some exploration, they discovered six dragon runes carved into the walls surrounding the palace, similar to the runes that had previously activated the crystal.
"We need to use the power of dragon veins again to activate these runes in order to remove the barrier." Li Yi said.
Following Li Yi's instructions, the team members stood before the six dragon-shaped runes, concentrated their minds, and injected the dragon vein power in their bodies into them. The runes began to glow, and the energy barrier in the center of the palace gradually became transparent.
Just as the barrier was about to disappear, a powerful force surged from the ground, forming a giant dragon-shaped phantom. The phantom roared and rushed towards Li Yi and his team members, as if to tear them apart.
At this moment, Qi Yaozu and other strange people launched an attack on the dragon almost at the same time.
A shocking scene occurred. Everyone's attacks seemed to hit the air without causing any damage to the phantom dragon.
At this moment, a beam of dragon flame shot out from the giant dragon's mouth, and the dragon flame almost filled the entire underground space in an instant. The entire underground space instantly turned into a huge furnace. When the dragon flame was activated, everyone felt the extremely high temperature of the dragon flame.
Everyone was shocked by the scene before them, and their clothes instantly caught fire due to the extremely high temperature.
Li Yi hurriedly activated his supernatural power and released a huge amount of lake water from the alien space to cover everyone.
The lake water filled the entire space to a depth of more than one meter.
Except for Qi Yaozu and Wei Nan, two fire-type aliens, the other aliens escaped the disaster by hiding in the water.
"Yaozu, take them out first. I will deal with this phantom dragon!" Li Yi stared at the phantom dragon and ordered Qi Yaozu loudly.
"good!"
"Everyone follow me!" Qi Yaozu waved his hand and led a group of strangers outside.
Qi Yaozu and his team quickly left the underground palace, leaving only Li Yi and the phantom dragon to confront each other. Li Yi could feel the residual heat of the dragon's flame still lingering in the underground space, and the air was filled with a burning smell.
"Phantom Dragon, your power is indeed strong, but I will definitely subdue you!" Li Yi's eyes were firm, and the supernatural power in his body began to condense. His body was wrapped in black flames, as if it had turned into a ball of burning black flames.
The phantom dragon seemed to sense Li Yi's powerful energy and let out a deafening roar, then spewed out another stream of blazing dragon flames. Li Yi was not afraid and faced the dragon flames directly, opening his hands and condensing the power of the black flames into a huge energy shield.
The dragon flame collided with the shield, causing a violent explosion. The walls of the underground palace began to shake, as if they might collapse at any moment. Li Yi felt the pressure of the shield and gritted his teeth, pouring all his strength into the shield to fight against the dragon flame.
"Black flames break through the air!" Li Yi roared, and the shield instantly transformed into a powerful black flame slash, directly slashing towards the phantom dragon.
However, the black flame's attack also passed through the giant dragon phantom and did not cause any damage to the phantom dragon.
"It's really too tricky!" Li Yi frowned and looked at the phantom dragon in front of him. He had no idea what to do at this moment.
At this moment, the phantom dragon opened its huge mouth and attacked Li Yi again.
Li Yi was shocked after taking a closer look. This was the black flame that he had just used to kill the phantom dragon. He didn't expect that the black flame would be returned to him by the phantom dragon.
Li Yi did not dare to be careless at all, and quickly activated the [Divine Curtain] ability to absorb this energy into his own different space.
After the energy entered the different space, Li Yi felt a sharp pain in his body, but he had no time to pay attention to it. He had to find a way to deal with the phantom dragon.
"Can this guy bounce back all the attacks?" Li Yi thought to himself. He knew that if he continued like this, he would be exhausted, while the Phantom Dragon would still be extremely powerful.
At this moment, a deep voice sounded beside Li Yi's ears: "Use the power of the dragon vein. It is part of the illusion. As long as you find the real power of the dragon vein, you can break this illusion."
Li Yi immediately realized that this was the guardian of the dragon vein power guiding him. He took a deep breath and quickly searched the palace for the source of the dragon vein power. He noticed that the dragon-shaped pattern in the center of the palace was flickering faintly, as if hinting at something.
"This is the key!" Li Yi quickly ran to the center of the palace, pressed his hand on the dragon-shaped pattern, and felt the powerful energy from the dragon vein.
He closed his eyes, concentrated all his energy, and established a connection with the power of the dragon vein.
A surge of energy poured into Li Yi's body. He felt his strength rapidly increasing, as if he had become one with the entire earth.
The phantom dragon felt the fluctuation of the dragon vein power, let out an angry roar, and rushed towards Li Yi.
