"Brother Yun, why is there another Seal?"

Liu Yiyi, who had already collected the spoils of war, flew over and stood next to Ye Yun. Seeing the remaining layer of Seal on the surface of the black stone pillar, she couldn't help but be taken aback.

"It seems this Black Stone Treasury has some secrets," Ye Yun nodded with a smile.

After the surface Seal was broken, the new Seal inside was revealed to be even stronger and sturdier than the previous one.

However, this didn't pose a problem for Ye Yun.

Perhaps because he had been using the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye for a while, Ye Yun suddenly activated the Sword of Death Realm, slashing directly at the Seal.

BOOM!

A vast power, channeled through the sword's tip, struck the black stone pillar, unleashing a deafening roar.

At that moment, the entire Cloud Mark Cave trembled violently. The momentum was shocking, as if the Grotto-Heaven was on the verge of collapse.

Startling Liu Yiyi, who stood beside him, her face paled.

Brother Yun's sword strike is so powerful! Liu Yiyi exclaimed inwardly.

With just one slash, Ye Yun broke through the sturdy Seal.

However, when he looked inside, he found yet another Seal.

He was momentarily stunned.

Ning Fangzhi and his group must have broken through quite a few layers of Seals already.

He had now shattered two layers in succession, only to find another one.

This Seal was even more robust than the one before it.

It appeared this Seal was indeed laid down by a God King Expert.

Ning Fangzhi and the others all possessed cultivation bases at the Lower Order of God-Honor Realm, so breaking these Seals was extremely difficult for them.

They could only rely on sheer perseverance, slowly wearing them down bit by bit.

BOOM!

Ye Yun swung his sword again, forcibly shattering this layer of Seal.

As this Seal fractured, black smoke suddenly billowed out from the depths of the black stone pillar, quickly enveloping the entire structure.

The black smoke continued to rise, drifting into the air and eventually forming a Black Giant Dragon.

This Black Giant Dragon, unlike a true Divine Dragon, was not tens or hundreds of thousands of zhang long.

It was merely several tens of zhang long.

Even so, hovering above their heads, it appeared extremely formidable.

A dragon?

An expression of surprise appeared on Ye Yun's face.

It seemed the dragon insignia on top of the black stone pillar earlier was not without meaning.

The Black Stone Treasury and this Black Dragon before them were connected somehow.

But this Black Dragon was not a true Divine Dragon.

It was weak.

It was merely an ancient will, devoid of any Divine King Realm cultivation base aura.

The cultivation realm of this Divine Dragon body, condensed from will, had fallen to the First Layer of the God Sovereign Realm.

"Human, if you wish to inherit the Black Stone Treasury, you must agree to one condition. Otherwise, I will ensure both the Treasury and I are destroyed together," the Black Dragon hovered in mid-air, its gaze fixed on the two humans below, with no discernible emotion in its eyes.

"What condition?" Ye Yun asked, a particularly interested expression appearing on his face.

Despite its small size, the Black Dragon's unique appearance reminded Ye Yun of a specific dragon type.

The Dark Divine Dragon.

Dark Divine Dragons were high-level Divine Dragons, masters of dark power, under the jurisdiction of the Dark Heavenly Dragon, one of the Ten Super Divine Dragons.

He then recalled...

Three months ago, in the Black Sky Burial Ground, he had encountered the claw of a Dark Heavenly Dragon. This led Ye Yun to a certain speculation.

But he needed further verification.

"This condition is extremely difficult to fulfill. If you dare to accept, you must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. Only then will I reveal the specifics," the Dark Divine Dragon said in a deep voice.

Swear an oath?

Ye Yun was taken aback once more.

He suddenly realized that this wisp of will from the Dark Divine Dragon probably had something of extreme importance to entrust to the inheritor of the Black Stone Treasury.

"Brother Yun, swearing an oath to the Heavenly Dao has serious consequences," Liu Yiyi suddenly gripped Ye Yun's hand, speaking anxiously.

Who knows what this Black Dragon is truly planning? What if, after Brother Yun swears an oath to the Heavenly Dao, the Black Dragon makes a demand he cannot fulfill? Wouldn't he suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao?

"It's alright," Ye Yun gently patted Liu Yiyi's hand and said with a smile.

He felt no fear regarding an oath to the Heavenly Dao.

Even if he were to violate such an oath, and the Heavenly Dao truly sought to trouble him, he wouldn't mind revealing a few things that would make even the Heavenly Dao apprehensive.

"I can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. Whatever your demand may be, I will agree to it and carry it out without hesitation," Ye Yun declared, abruptly raising one hand, his expression solemn.

Seeing the human below so earnestly and genuinely swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, the expression in the Black Dragon's eyes suddenly grew sorrowful.

"I was right about you. I don't know why, but I felt a sense of closeness the moment I saw you," the Black Dragon said, its tone low and somber.

"It seems we are fated to meet," Ye Yun replied with a calm smile.

He possessed the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline. Even without actively releasing its aura, it would naturally evoke a sense of affinity in Divine Dragons.

This wisp of the Dark Divine Dragon's will was naturally no exception to this principle.

"I am a Dark Divine Dragon, one of the Eight Great Black Dragon Kings under Lord Dark Heavenly Dragon, from the Dragon-Hidden Continent, Sumeru Dark World... Years ago, I followed Lord Dark Heavenly Dragon, pursuing and killing the Spirits who invaded the Moon Star. That is how we entered the Divine Land," the Dark Divine Dragon said slowly, its tone carried a desolation that seemed to echo from ancient times.

Hearing this, Ye Yun's calm expression turned grave.

It was just as he had suspected.

This Dark Divine Dragon had indeed entered the Divine Land with the Dark Heavenly Dragon.

"The Eight Great Black Dragon Kings, do you mean each one possesses the cultivation of the Divine King Realm?" Ye Yun asked.

"Indeed. To be a king among the Dragon Clan, one must possess the cultivation of the Divine King Realm. Before I perished, my cultivation was at the Second Layer of God King Realm," the Dark Divine Dragon stated proudly.

"Then what is your master's cultivation level?" Ye Yun inquired further.

He was also very curious about the extent of cultivation reached by the Dark Heavenly Dragon, one of the Ten Super Divine Dragons.

The Dark Divine Dragon glanced at Ye Yun, hesitated for merely half a second, then trust once again filled its eyes.

It said in a deep tone, "There's no harm in telling you. Lord Dark Heavenly Dragon is already at the Peak of the Tenth Layer of the God King Realm. His power is so immense that even Spirits at the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm in the Divine Land are no match for him."

Such a high cultivation level, Ye Yun mused.

It seemed the Ten Super Divine Dragons likely all possessed cultivation at this level.

And the Ancestor Dragon, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Dragons, must be at least in the God Emperor Realm.

"After entering the Divine Land, our Dark Dragon Clan Army waged a world-shaking war against the Spirits of the Divine Land!

"In that battle, Lord Dark Heavenly Dragon single-handedly fought against three Spirits who were at the Peak of the Tenth Layer of the God King Realm.

"In the end, those despicable Spirits actually used a treasure sealed by the Ancestor Dragon to sever Lord Dark Heavenly Dragon's arm!

"Lord Dark Heavenly Dragon fled to an unknown destination. Our Dark Dragon Clan Army was scattered and subsequently annihilated by those Spirits, one by one."

The Dark Divine Dragon's voice was hoarse, echoing slowly in the surrounding space, its eyes filled with endless desolation and sorrow.
