Rocky was a little shocked to see that the seal of the huge dragon statue had been removed. After all, it was a well-known fact that an extremely great amount of power was required to remove any seal set up by the spiritual race.
The fact that the dragon-shaped jade was able to release that much power was truly inconceivable to Rocky. However, what came next surprised him even more, if that was possible. He suddenly heard a voice from the dragon-shaped jade!
"Who are you?" he asked in awe. He had never expected the dragon-shaped jade to contain so much power, let alone a being that was able to speak human language. Although he did not know what it was, he knew that he was dealing with something extraordinary.
All of a sudden, the dragon-shaped jade, which had been constantly emitting red light, flew into the air and hovered in front of him. Then, a beam of light was projected from the dragon-shaped jade, forming a dragon-shaped transparent light body, like an exquisite doll. Although it was only the size of a palm, it exuded an astonishing aura.
"You... You are..." Rocky breathed in shock. In fact, he had seen this being before! It was none other than the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast he had seen in the Myriad Spirit Tomb. But he could not understand what it was doing here at the moment.
"I don't have enough power to show myself for long, so I'll keep this short." Rocky suddenly heard a familiar voice in his mind. In fact, he had heard this voice a few times before, but he had always dismissed it as an auditory hallucination. Now, to his surprise, it turned out that someone had really been talking to him all along.
"Why are you in this dragon-shaped jade?" he asked with a frown.
"I am the one who formed it with my power," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast replied.
"I see. But why did you turn into a dragon-shaped jade? You wanted me to take you out of the Myriad Spirit Tomb on purpose?" Rocky asked suspiciously. He had a lot of questions in mind now.
"You are already an inheritor. With me by your side
beast such as the supernatural beast were not comparable to the Soul Beast at all.
"You wish! I'm not something that you can control. Until now, you've only seen me at my weakest state," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast said arrogantly, raising its chin at him.
"Your weakest state?" Rocky said in awe. If he remembered correctly, when he had first seen the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast, it had emitted an aura that seemed to be of the Divine Stage, at least. If that was the Soul Beast at its weakest state, then its strongest state would be unimaginable. There was no way he would be able to control it.
The Dragon-shaped Soul Beast nodded arrogantly. "So, don't ever think about making me your spirit-manipulated beast."
"Then there's nothing in it for me." Rocky shook his head in disappointment and asked, "By the way, you have been in the jade for so long. Why did you come out now?"
"That's because your strength is too weak right now. In order to turn into this jade and follow you out, I used up almost all of my power. Therefore, I won't show up unless I absolutely have to," the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast explained.
"It's all my fault, then," Rocky said, raising his eyebrows.
While the two of them were talking to each other, the altar continued changing dramatically. It was as if the earth was collapsing and the mountains were shaking.
