Chapter 380: The Past of Antebellum Canyon

On Ao Xuan’s head, a profound power far exceeding the spatial force controlled by Lin Yi was being condensed.

The so-called "Curved Pathway Teleportation" was utterly insignificant before Ao Xuan.

This mighty spatial power completely surpassed Lin Yi’s understanding.

It was at this moment that Lin Yi realized why a war pet of the Dragon Race could be so crucial.

Because the spatial force they mastered was beyond human imagination.

The tangible spatial energy above Ao Xuan’s head gradually converged and finally merged into the dragon scale on Ao Xuan’s forehead.

Then, under Ao Xuan’s direction, the dragon scale slowly detached and flew towards Lin Yi, hovering in front of him.

Gazing at the jade-green glow in front of him, Lin Yi unconsciously reached out and grasped it.

"Human, we Dragons, bear the bloodline of the Ancient Divine Beasts and command the purest form of spatial force. Our expertise in space far exceeds human imagination, and we can even break through the constraints of the Descent Abyss."

"This dragon scale contains my Power of Origin, and I have inscribed a skill within it that can tear space. If you encounter trouble on the Ghost Train, infuse your power into this dragon scale, and you can escape the instance alive."

The dragon scale in his hand emitted a gentle warmth, quite comfortable.

Ao Xuan’s explanation both broadened Lin Yi’s horizons and left him in utter disbelief.

Having been a professional for so long, he never knew anything about the abilities of the Dragon Race.

Especially the use of spatial force; none of these are recorded in books.

Ao Xuan using his Power of Origin to help him? That was something Lin Yi dared not even think about.

"Kid, why are you standing there dazed? Aren’t you going to say thank you?"

The words of Wanchong Mountain snapped Lin Yi back to reality.

"Thank you, Senior Ao Xuan. I will do my best to meet your expectations! I will find every way possible to enhance my abilities."

Lin Yi bowed solemnly to Ao Xuan, for Ao Xuan was more than deserving of such respect.

This is a lifeline at a critical moment!

Receiving Ao Xuan’s gift today indicated that he had already gained Ao Xuan’s recognition.

Being recognized by Ao Xuan significantly increased his chances of obtaining the source of the Dragon Race within Nibelungen.

How could Lin Yi not be thrilled?

"Human, I hope you don’t let me down, go now."

Knowing that this journey was fraught with danger, giving Lin Yi more time to prepare increased his chances of surviving and clearing the instance.

Hence, Ao Xuan and Wanchong Mountain didn’t keep him any longer.

After Lin Yi left, the eyes of the white cat showed a hint of melancholy.

"Ao Xuan, you actually went this far. Didn’t you detest humans?"

The giant dragon’s head reflected in the pupils of the old cat; at this moment, Ao Xuan had already closed his eyes, appearing withered, with every inch of dragon scale covered on his body, no longer displaying any signs of life.

It was truly reaching the end of its life!

"Hehe, old cat, I’m starting to understand you."

"This kid, he is much more remarkable than I thought. You know, if he doesn’t come out, there will be no one in this world who can bring back Xia’s Dragon Origin from Nibelungen, and at that time, both I and the child in my belly will perish."

"Why not use my life to ensure Xia’s stability? When he grows up, you, old friend, can live out your days under his protection, right?"

Ao Xuan’s words instantly ignited the old cat’s competitive spirit.

"Bullshit! Since when does an old cat like me need the protection of a youngster? What a joke!"

The proud expression of the white cat was somewhat amusing.

With his eyes closed, as if imagining the old cat’s current look, Ao Xuan’s mouth curled into a smile.

"So, do you want this Enchantment Slot or not? If not, keep me alive for a while longer, and when I’m gone, then take it from me?"

Upon hearing this, the old cat immediately used its paw to swipe a small metallic object in front of it into its embrace.

"What nonsense are you spouting? This thing is a one-time consumable; both the Treasure Pearl and the Slot are. Additionally, Immortal Power is useless to you. Without the Dragon Race’s origin, no law artifact can save you!"

As it spoke, a flash of white light appeared on the old cat, and the small metallic object was stored in its personal space.

Before departure, Lin You and Lin Qianqian had successfully forged the Tara Stone into an Enchantment Slot.

Just as Lin You said, the sisters had an incredibly high affinity with the Tara Stone. While crafting the slot, they could also absorb the stone’s power—truly killing two birds with one stone.

"This kid constantly amazes; now this old cat’s injuries can fully heal~"

The smugness on Wanchong Mountain’s face was already hard to hide.

The S-tier Enchanted Treasure Pearl Lin Yi gifted contained Immortal Law’s power, which could heal the old cat’s stubborn burn marks through this ability.

The blind eye could also be restored through the power of law, providing such potent recovery that the old cat was advancing to a whole new level.

Stowing the Jade Dragon Scale safely, Lin Yi didn’t pause, heading directly to the Teleportation Hall of Shenxiao.

He was already prepared to confront the Ghost Train instance and face Ghostly Blue.

The destination this time: the Caribbean Sea.

The Antebellum Canyon was set atop the sea.

It’s said that many years ago, before the Antebellum Canyon existed, it was a paradise for pirates. Humans and other species alike flocked there, and over time, the Caribbean Sea truly became a haven for pirates.

But the good times didn’t last long.

A Mechanical War God from Xia, upon hearing of the pirates’ rampant acts here, descended with his professionals, eliminating most of the pirates through overwhelming force.

To escape the Mechanical War God’s pursuit, the remaining pirates banded together, transforming their original pirate ships into special sea trains, attempting to evade capture with the trains’ speed and resume their carefree lifestyles.

But they underestimated the strength of the Mechanical War God.

His gunners and reformed warriors completely disregarded the ocean’s constraints, relying on mechanics to hunt down all pirates across the sea.

It didn’t take long for the pirates to be thoroughly wiped out, yet the story didn’t end there.

The pirates, wiped out completely, were influenced by the Power of Abyss, turning into wraiths, and gaining formidable strength, enough to rival the Mechanical War God and his professionals.

Eventually, after years of attrition, the pirates imbued with the Power of Abyss successfully killed the Mechanical War God, cornering his gunners and reformed warriors in a section of the Antebellum Canyon. From then on, the gunners and reformed warriors established a line of defense, splitting the Antebellum Canyon in two.
