Li Yu looked up and saw that the dragon vein in the sky had fully taken shape.
The flames from before have transformed into a fiery dragon, its entire body a deep crimson gold and engulfed in flames, appearing before our eyes.
A massive dragon head emerged from the clouds, its burning horns and whiskers fluttering in the wind.
Two eyes, like those of molten gold and forged in fire, were staring intently at Li Yu, exuding an imposing aura.
"Is the dragon looking at me?"
Li Yu muttered to himself, a strange feeling of being chosen inexplicably rising in his heart, as if he had gained the approval of this fire dragon.
Just as the fire dragon looked over, invisible dark red dragon horns flashed and disappeared above Li Yu's eyebrows.
At the same time, the spark in Li Yu's abdomen began to throb wildly, and an indescribable excitement welled up in her heart.
The fire dragon in the clouds slightly opened its mouth and exhaled, and all the energy below was as if sucked in by an invisible and powerful tornado, and was all frantically swept into the air.
Even the residual energy after Zhang Yan's death was no exception.
Li Yu didn't notice that among the energy dissipated after Zhang Yan's death, there seemed to be a tiny spark that was absorbed by the fire dragon.
The fire dragon swallowed all the energy it had absorbed, and the flames on its body burned even more fiercely, the light becoming increasingly dazzling, and the entire cloud layer was enveloped in this crimson-gold light.
'Can dragons absorb energy?'
Li Yu's eyes widened in surprise; this scene looked so familiar.
He had planned to absorb Zhang Yan's energy, but the fire dragon beat him to it.
Immediately afterwards, the fire dragon lashed its tail, tearing through the clouds, and a crimson-gold flame poured down like a celestial river, instantly engulfing Li Yu.
The burning sensation she had imagined did not occur. Instead, Li Yu felt a warm and powerful force flowing into her body through every pore.
Li Yu was both surprised and delighted. He slowly opened his arms and felt the powerful energy flowing through his meridians like a torrent, eventually converging at the vortex.
The sparks in his abdomen danced joyfully, like old friends reunited after a long separation, quickly merging with this new power.
The dragon vein has recognized Li Yu.
Under the continuous flow of golden energy, the vortex within Li Yu's body began to spin wildly, and his mental sea surged like a storm, creating towering waves.
Li Yu greedily continued to absorb this power, feeling a tingling sensation throughout his body, yet also experiencing an indescribable sense of exhilaration.
The next moment, Li Yu's mental sea seemed to be injected with endless power and began to expand rapidly.
Li Yu's eyes suddenly became incredibly clear, as if a veil covering her eyes had been instantly lifted.
His perception of his surroundings has reached an unprecedented level of clarity; he can even detect the flow of every bit of energy in the air, with more detail than he has observed before.
A moment later, the crimson flames gradually dissipated, and Li Yu slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them. He couldn't help but blurt out:
"A sixth-tier Awakener!"
With the blessing of the dragon vein's power, he successfully broke through the shackles and advanced to the sixth rank.
"Too fast." Li Yu himself exclaimed, amazed that he had reached the sixth rank so quickly.
He could hardly believe the vastness and immensity of his spiritual sea.
It's important to understand that becoming a fifth-tier Awakener only enhances physical strength, granting the ability to defend against ordinary weapons.
After reaching the sixth rank, one's mental strength transcends that of ordinary people.
Their reaction speed, mental defense, and perception abilities are all far superior to those of ordinary awakened individuals; they are not even in the same league.
At this moment, Li Yu was completely certain that this was what Lei Xiao had found in the Giant Stone Forest, and also what Zhang Yan had been waiting for—the Dragon Vein.
"Aww—"
After Li Yu received recognition and was promoted, the fire dragon let out another furious roar, a sound that seemed to pierce through the clouds and resound throughout the entire world.
Immediately afterwards, a fierce wind blew around the fire dragon, and flames blazed up. The intense heat instantly created a gap in the heavy rain and thick dark clouds in the sky.
The fire dragon then soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye, leaving only a trail of burning flames in the sky, like an entrance to the unknown.
If Lei Xiao were present at this moment, he would probably be able to tell at a glance that the dragon's lair is above, and the key to the dragon vein's inheritance lies in that mysterious area.
With the departure of the fire dragon, the aura that had been suppressing the dragon vein completely dissipated.
A ray of sunlight pierced through the gap and shone precisely on the ground, right where Li Yu was standing.
"Boom—"
The ground shook violently again.
The flat, solid ground beneath Li Yu suddenly gave way to a huge boulder.
The rock seemed to have broken free from the constraints of gravity, magically lifting Li Yu rapidly upwards, with its speed and height increasing.
Before Li Yu, who was standing on the boulder, could recover from his shock, he and Xiao Hei had already risen into the sky.
The little black cat was immediately terrified and let out a series of frightened hisses, clearly indicating that it was very afraid of heights.
Not to mention Xiao Hei, Li Yu was also feeling a little flustered at this moment.
After all, he might be the only superhuman in the world who can't fly.
At that height, if he were to fall accidentally, even the strongest body wouldn't be able to withstand it.
As the massive boulder beneath their feet flew higher and higher, something vaguely appeared on top of it.
Looking up, Li Yu was surprised to find an even larger floating rock above, hovering in the air with a strange yet stable posture.
As they drew closer, a sudden surge of intense heat rose, as if an invisible furnace was burning fiercely around them.
The boulder gradually slowed down and eventually came into close contact with the floating rock. The two fit together perfectly, as if they had always been one.
Clearly, this boulder has not been floating here for the first time; it appears to be manipulated.
However, Li Yu finally succeeded in reaching the dragon's lair, arriving at the place where his dragon vein was inherited.
As soon as he stepped onto the floating stones, a wave of heat hit him, as if it would engulf him.
Li Yu looked up and saw that there was a small pond full of lava in the center of the pumice, with hot currents surging and rolling in the pond.
In the middle of the lava pool, there is a large mass of lava standing there like a sculpture, constantly being washed over by the surrounding lava.
Around the pond, there was a patch of small flowers made of flames. These flame flowers swayed gracefully under the high temperature, emitting a charming yet dangerous light.
Even at this altitude, it is still not enough to reach above the clouds.
So the heavy rain continued to fall, but strangely, Li Yu couldn't feel a single drop of rain.
He looked up at the sky with curiosity and saw that the rainwater, after falling on the pumice, disappeared as if it had evaporated, leaving only a faint mist in the air.
Just then, the mass of magma in the pool suddenly began to churn violently.
The once calm surface of the magma was now like boiling water, with huge bubbles constantly rising to the surface.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud crash.
