Woof! Woof! Woof!

At this moment, Xiahei suddenly dashed out, his head turning toward that direction, filled with greed and urgency.

"Stay here, I'll go check it out!"

Yitian said to Xiahei.

But Xiahei looked pitifully reluctant.

After all, he had sensed a great attraction from that treasure.

However, Yitian wouldn't let him follow.

He needed Xiahei to guard the Yi tribe in case of any unexpected events, to be able to resist and protect his mother and others.

Ignoring Xiahei's protests, Yitian immediately cast the Feather Flight technique, sprinting across the ground like a bolt of lightning, weaving through the mountains, hills, and rivers.

On the other side.

In the middle of the Black Dragon River, the dragon pearl of the super fierce beast, the Black Dragon, rose into the air and then tried to escape.

In the next moment, a huge blood-red hand tore through the void, attempting to grab it.

Just as the blood-red hand was about to grasp the pearl, the dragon pearl seemed to sense the danger. Streams of water flowed from the pearl, instantly transforming into water dragons that roared and charged at the large hand.

At the same time, the river water of the Black Dragon River also erupted, forming water pillars that surged like drills, surrounding the blood-red hand, trying to crush it.

"Hmm, I didn't expect its spiritual consciousness to still be intact. After all these years of nourishment, it has developed a bit of spirituality!"

The unknown demon lord couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

"No matter how you struggle, it's futile. You are the treasure I, the demon, have been waiting to unseal for tens of thousands of years. I have only recently awakened and am about to claim you!"

The blood-red hand burst with terrifying power, shattering the water dragons and water pillars.

In the next moment, the blood-red hand grabbed the dragon pearl.

But at that moment, the dragon pearl, unwilling to be captured, suddenly burst with a brilliant, hazy light. Streams of water seemed to flow, and mist from hundreds of miles away gathered instantly.

The power of the dragon pearl almost made the blood-red hand lose its grip.

The dragon pearl spun there, with terrifying water currents surging and flowing, continuously resisting the blood-red hand.

"Blood Sacrifice!"

A voice echoed.

Then, the blood-red hand rose with a hazy blood-red light, continuously eroding the dragon pearl.

Although the dragon pearl's power continuously resisted, the blood-red light was relentless, gradually eroding into the dragon pearl, revealing strange blood-red patterns.

But the dragon pearl was not willing to be controlled. The water currents flowed rapidly, grinding away the blood-red patterns and the blood-red light.

Thus, the two sides were temporarily at a stalemate.

The first to arrive was the Black Dragon Society's leader and a group of his dark guards, each a peak ninth-stage warrior, extremely powerful, totaling twenty.

"What?"

The Black Dragon Society's leader was utterly shocked by the scene before him.

The dragon pearl was actually contending with a blood-red hand, the power bursting forth causing the nearby void to collapse, the destructive force sweeping in all directions, and the Black Dragon River already in turmoil.

The distant buildings and large ships were swaying, on the verge of capsizing.

Some small boats were shattered by the waves and sank to the bottom of the river.

The Black Dragon Society's leader's expression kept changing. This terrifying confrontation was far beyond their ability to intervene.

The only thing that gave him some confidence was that he still had a few low-grade treasure talismans. In this perilous situation, there was a slight chance of seizing the dragon pearl.

Although this hope was extremely slim.

After all, the power of the collision between the dragon pearl and the blood-red hand was more terrifying than that of a human-stage expert.

As a dark guard leader in the Black Dragon City of the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom, he knew the strength of human-stage experts, and it was not as terrifying as this.

However, the blood-red hand gradually gained the upper hand.

The dragon pearl, after all, only retained a fragmented spiritual consciousness and a bit of spirituality. In the continuous struggle, that spiritual consciousness gradually began to dissipate.

Just as the blood-red hand was about to suppress and dominate the dragon pearl, the Black Dragon City's warriors finally arrived at the scene.

"What is that?"

The warriors were all incredibly shocked, staring at the millstone-sized dragon pearl and the several-zhang-long blood-red hand in the center of the Black Dragon River, the two sides contending with terrifying power, the surroundings in chaos and fear.

The leaders of the Eight Great Families, the Great River Gang, and various major forces all arrived here, each greedily eyeing the dragon pearl that emitted a brilliant, radiant light.

They could all see that the pearl was an absolute world-class treasure.

Even though they were filled with greed and desire, the sight of the terrifying battle made them suppress their greed.

But at this moment, a change occurred.

Just as the dragon pearl was about to be suppressed by the demon lord behind the Dark Demon Sect, it suddenly burst with unprecedented light, shattering the blood-red hand with a loud boom and shooting off into the distance as a beam of light.

"Seize it!"

"That world-class treasure is mine!"

"This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. If I obtain it, my martial path will be hopeful!"

Thus, all the warriors went mad.

They forgot the terrifying battle between the blood-red hand and the dragon pearl. Moreover, the blood-red hand had been shattered by the dragon pearl, and it was trying to escape, a rare opportunity.

For that world-class treasure, they were willing to risk their lives.

Thousands of warriors rushed in the direction the dragon pearl had left, the Black Dragon Society's leader and his dark guards closely following.

When the first warrior discovered the millstone-sized dragon pearl, it was lying on the ground, emitting a hazy light under the moonlight, incredibly clear and luminous, like a jade that had fallen from the heavens.

"Haha, this world-class treasure is mine!"

This was a fifth-stage warrior who had discovered the world-class treasure of the dragon pearl first, unable to contain his elation.

But at that moment, a sharp sword light flashed.

Puff!

The warrior was pierced through the throat by a sword.

In the next moment, a slender warrior emerged.

His face flashed with joy as he rushed forward, trying to put it into his storage bag.

However, no matter what he did, he couldn't put the dragon pearl into the storage bag.

"The treasure is here!"

In the distance, someone discovered the dragon pearl and loudly informed his faction.

With the discovery of the dragon pearl, all the warriors were alerted.

Next, various major forces and warriors all arrived, each side unwilling to yield, resulting in a standoff.

But soon, someone broke the deadlock.

It was an eighth-stage warrior, not belonging to any faction, who moved very quickly, rushing to the dragon pearl like the wind, picking it up and trying to break through the encirclement.

"Kill!"

The others immediately attacked.

This caused all sides to fall into a frenzied battle, the dragon pearl changing hands several times, with countless casualties.

The Eight Great Families, the Great River Gang, and others were all involved.

At this moment, the Black Dragon Society's leader arrived with twenty dark guards.

They joined forces, like a sharp blade, tearing a terrifying blood path through the crowd. Seeing the Black Dragon Society's terrifying slaughter, the warriors all fled in fear.

Soon, the Black Dragon Society reached the center of the dragon pearl.

The leaders of the Eight Great Families, the Great River Gang, and various major forces, including some ninth-stage experts, were all surrounding the area, occasionally breaking out into fierce battles.

When the Black Dragon Society arrived with force, it immediately raised the alert of the various major forces.

"Stop, this dragon pearl has been sought by our Black Dragon Society for thousands of years. It is not something you can touch."

The Black Dragon Society's leader said to the leaders of the various major forces.

"Haha, your Black Dragon Society is too arrogant. Do you think you can resist the dozens of forces here with just these people?"

Someone couldn't help but sneer.

However, the Eight Great Families, the Great River Gang, and a few other major forces couldn't help but fall silent.

As a major force in Black Dragon City, they had always been wary of the Black Dragon Society, which had been passed down for thousands of years. However, they had never discovered the true strength of the Black Dragon Society and did not compete with the various major forces for various interests. The more so, the more the major forces could not underestimate them.

Although the Black Dragon Society made them extremely wary, to make them give up the world-class treasure of the dragon pearl, which was almost within reach, would be extremely difficult, and they would not give up.

"Because we, the Black Dragon Society, are the dark guards of the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom!"

As soon as the Black Dragon Society's leader spoke, the entire scene suddenly fell silent.

Even the warriors who were still fighting stopped.
