Duan Gujin, currently in seclusion, was oblivious to the events unfolding outside. The energy within his soul sea continued to surge tumultuously. He knew that his cultivation could still be improved constantly.

Faced with such a staggering rate of improvement, he wasn't surprised this time; instead, he began to worry.

"It seems I still cannot fully control the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath. Sensing his surroundings, he found them completely shrouded by dark clouds.

At this moment, he had no interest in finding out why it had become like this.

He continued to take out a pile of black ore from his storage ring. With a thought, he extracted the Soul Power from the black ore.

The power within his soul sea became even more agitated, churning violently.

He understood that the anomaly within his soul sea was definitely related to the black ore he had just pulled out.

"It looks like the Soul Power within the black ore is making my soul sea as excited as if it had been injected with adrenaline!"

Duan Gujin inhaled deeply. When he operated the Primordial Power within his body, it felt as though it was nearly out of control, and he found it extremely difficult to stabilize it.

He was well aware of the extreme danger this state of Primordial Power in his body presented. But he had no way to control the restlessness of his Primordial Power and had to let it continue unhindered.

He could even hear the roars of the Dragon Elephant in his ears. Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down.

"What I need to do now is to improve my cultivation as quickly as possible. As to whether I might fall into the Demon Path in the future, I'll worry about that later!"

He always had a nagging concern that the Ultimate Demon Emperor's Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul must have an issue. Perhaps the Ultimate Demon Emperor had left behind some tricks in the Martial Soul, to easily control Duan Gujin in the future.

But after many inspections, Duan Gujin could never pinpoint the problem.

He knew his strength was still very weak, so he simply couldn't be bothered to think too much.

"To find the answer, I can only increase my strength at the fastest speed!"

Duan Gujin did not want to think too far ahead regarding future issues. He only wanted to resolve the problems at hand.

He knew that his current mission was to send the warriors who had been transported to the Fire Cloud Continent back to the Qiankun Continent. Now, the enemies on the Fire Cloud Continent were far more powerful than the Jialuo Demon King and Sky Crossing Demon King he had encountered before.

He concentrated his energy immensely, focusing entirely on his current cultivation.

Three days later, Duan Gujin discovered that his cultivation had once again advanced; he had now broken through to the Seventh-level Martial Monarch.

In less than ten days, he had broken through from the fourth layer of Martial Monarch straight to the Seventh Layer. Such a cultivation speed, if known, would surely astonish a great number of people.

What shocked Duan Gujin the most was that the Primordial Power in his soul sea was still very restless, showing no sign of subsiding.

"Oh my God! Could it be that I'm about to continue breaking through?"

As Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense, he saw his Dragon Elephant Martial Soul still roaring within the black clouds above his head, without any indication of rest.

He wanted to take this opportunity to try and open his Martial Meridians.

But after a while, he discovered that he had failed; he could not take this chance to open any Martial Meridian.

"Why has my Soul Power undergone such terrifying changes after arriving on the Fire Cloud Continent? Could it be related to the Netherworld Treasure Book that I cultivated previously?"

Thinking of the Netherworld Treasure Book, Duan Gujin's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Right, the place I am now is the Fire Cloud Continent, and these ores I am holding contain a strong soul power, which happens to be what the Netherworld Dark Clan needs. It is very likely that the Netherword Treasure Book, the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, and these black ores have formed some kind of connection. And this connection has caused a terrifying change to occur in my body now."

Duan Gujin felt that ever since he started to devour, absorb, and refine the soul power within those piles of black ore, the Soul Power inside him ignited like a kerosene barrel tossed with a match—blazing instantly beyond control.

Thus, he began to ponder the Netherworld Treasure Book with a frown.

In his previous life, he had studied the Netherworld Treasure Book very seriously, for the sake of revenge.

Even though he had cultivated the Netherworld Treasure Book to perfection last time, he knew that the Netherworld Treasure Book he practiced in his previous life was not complete; it always lacked something.

He thought for a while and finally came up with a possibility.

"I remember now, it is highly possible that I have now come into contact with the Netherworld Sky Covering Flame!"

Netherworld Sky Covering is a type of flame that specifically grows in the Fire Cloud Continent and is considered a coveted treasure by the Netherworld Dark Clan.

Although Netherworld Sky Covering is highly valued by the Netherworld Dark Clan, it seems to have a natural repulsion against them.

Therefore, within the Netherworld Dark Clan, almost only their Demon Kings can capture Netherworld Sky Covering.

In fact, according to legends, even if a Demon King of the Netherworld Dark Clan manages to capture Netherworld Sky Covering, they are still unable to fully unleash its capabilities.

Duan Gujin released his Divine Sense to carefully inspect the black vortex above his head.

Despite the strong Divine Sense shielding power within that black vortex, he could always sense a living creature existing within it.

And the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul was constantly moving around that creature.

Seeing the actions of the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, Duan Gujin was sure of his previous speculation.

To some extent, Netherworld Sky Covering could be considered an Innate Spiritual Object.

If Human Warriors wish to find Netherworld Sky Covering, they must enter the Fire Element Continent to search for it.

And the Rule Power of the Fire Cloud Continent would suppress the strength of any intruding powerful warriors, restricting their strength to the Martial Emperor Realm.

Once those warriors attempt to unleash power above the Martial Emperor level, they would often self-destruct and perish.

After years of trial, warriors from other continents realized that here they could at most exert the strength of a Ninth Level Martial Emperor.

If these warriors inadvertently unleash strength beyond the Ninth Level Martial Emperor during battle, they would self-destruct and perish.

Thinking of the Netherworld Sky Covering in the black vortex above his head, Duan Gujin's eyes were filled with fervor.

In the treasure book of the Netherworld Dark Clan, that Netherworld Sky Covering is indeed a genuine treasure.

"If there really is Netherworld Sky Covering in the black vortex above my head, that would be too good."

A gleam flashed in Duan Gujin's eyes, and a thought lingered in his heart; he felt that the black vortex above his head was very likely to contain the Netherworld Sky Covering.

"How should I go about obtaining that Netherworld Sky Covering?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, and his thoughts raced.
