Lin Sheng's eyes flickered, he had no idea that the crystal had such use, but regardless, it was simply something the other party was saying.

But he would believe it for now.

Soon, the Matriarch gathered all of the surviving dragon souls and put them together.

The so-called dragon crystals were different from the one Lin Sheng had obtained earlier.

The crystals were much smaller, about half the size of the yellowish Monarch Crystal.

“The remaining twelve dragon crystals of the dragon souls are all here.” The Sin Dragon Matriarch floated the crystals of twelve different colors into Lin Sheng's hand.

After a short rest, Lin Sheng's holy power had recovered, and with the area already being purified by holy power, it was easy for him to control it.

With a grasp, the holy power in the air formed into ropes and gently wrapped around the crystals before bringing it to him.

The reason for him doing so was to prevent the dragon souls from pulling any tricks.

And that series of attacks earlier had left an impression in Lin Sheng.

If not for his powerful hidden trump cards, he would probably have been the one dead.

After collecting and wrapped the crystals in holy power, and place them inside the reformed Armor of Dawn, Lin Sheng once again looked at the Matriarch and the rest of the dragon souls.

There were twelve Palatinate-level elites here! If he could fully make them submit to him, then they will have a terrifying effect on his personal development and influence.

And that will also elevate the Holy Sanctum with the ability to stand toe to toe with the top forces in the world.

“Then, it is goodbye for now. Rest up, and I'll come back later after a while, and I hope by then, you will be prepared to leave with me.”

Lin Sheng said as he turned and walked away without even looking at the dragon souls' reaction.

“Wait.” The Sin Dragon Matriarch suddenly called out.

“What is it?” Lin Sheng turned around.

The Sin Dragon Matriarch gazed at Lin Sheng as she rumbled, “You are stained with the aura of the Blacktide, if you do not want to die, you need to find where the nodes are within a year and destroy it. We do not want to follow a person who will be dead soon.”

“Nodes?” Lin Sheng suddenly recalled the information he read before, and once the Blacktide is unleashed, the nodes would be the most critical point.

He remembered seeing this information back when he was still exploring Blackfeather City.

He saw this in a hidden room, on a half-burnt book.

Written on the book was that the nodes were the convergence point of the world's fall, and only by destroying the nodes will the world avoids the fate of destruction.

“Yes,” The Sin Dragon Matriarch nodded. “The Blacktide nodes are the key channel in which they invade a world. Destroying a node will temporarily shut the channel. Plus with that purifying powers you have, you theoretically have the ability to purify the Blacktide, and save everything.”

“Understood.” Lin Sheng answered before walking once again into the passageway as he sped away to the outside.

A few minutes after Lin Sheng left.

A red dragon soul approached and whispered to the Matriarch.

“My Queen, do you really intend to submit to that man?”

“Before the Dragon's Barrow is moved, let's pretend to do so.” The Sin Dragon Matriarch's eyes flickered. “The person has the coordinates here, so we should settle down and see where things go.”

“But, but… if those dragon crystals were to be destroyed, wouldn't it be too big a loss?”

“Those are just material items, we have long transformed into the Corpse Dragon of Fates, what use does our dragon crystals have now? Did you actually think that you will be harmed by the crystal's destruction?” The Matriarch chided, “If we don't give up something, how would that person believe us so easily?”

Outside the Dragon's Barrow. In the deep sea, Lin Sheng was quickly swimming upwards. He was afraid that he would be exposed if he stayed in the barrow any longer. His body now was badly wounded due to the excessive bursts of holy power and chaotic souls, with many hidden injuries.

If he was to fight again, he had no idea if he could still retreat from the barrow without his powers.

“If push comes to shove, I probably will need to borrow the powers of all of the commanders, but that would really hurt.”

Unless it was really as a last resort measure, Lin Sheng was absolutely reluctant to use the power of his commanders.

This was because even just by borrowing once, all of the commanders would suffer the same trauma, and will take a long time to recover.

And this was a very dangerous scenario in the face of the surging Blacktide.

A splash later, Lin Sheng blasted out of the sea as a rock slab once again formed under his leg into a boat as he floated on the surface of the sea.

“I should leave.”

He then darted away towards the direction he had come from.

Not too long later, a red-robed figure rushed forward in the distance.

It was Tenko Kasumi who had rushed to support him after receiving a hail from the soullink.

“Are you alright?” Kasumi looked at Lin Sheng's chest, the wound where he had almost been pierced through.

“That was too close a call. That Dragon's Barrow is nasty, and even with my special powers activated, at the level where I could surpass you, I still could not destroy the place.”

Lin Sheng originally had the plan to destroy the entire barrow, but unfortunately, he could not maintain his special power any longer.

And that only allowed him to create an illusion that he had let the Sin Dragon Matriarch go.

But in reality, he simply did not have the strength to accomplish what he wanted.

“Should I go?” Tenko Kasumi frowned.

“Not now. Let's just observe them, if the Dragon's Barrow is able to be a power under our command, then they will be a huge boon for us. Twelve Palatinates… this sort of power is enough to change everything!” Lin Sheng said as he squinted.

“Then let's go back first. There's something wrong with the environment here. We shouldn't stay too long.” Tenko Kasumi said.

She did not like the dark waters rippling below.

“Yeah.”

“The two immediately turned into white lines as they disappeared above the vast sea.

Central Pearl Ocean, Visaca Island.

Visaca Island in the past was a popular tourist destination well known for producing beautiful corals and pearls.

Unfortunately, after the Blacktide surge, the place was attacked by mutant monsters that came out of the sea.

After the islanders were massacred, there were no humans left on the island as it became a monster's paradise.

At the moment, over at a lush west of the island.

An active volcano was emitting thick black smoke.

Fengy Volcano was one of the most popular spots of Visaca Island and was one of the rare large active volcanoes in the world.

This active volcano had erupted thirty years ago, before the eruption of the Blacktide.

And the volcanic magma from the eruption had covered the surrounding waters, which had also expanded the island's landmass five times the original size in a short span of time.

Smoke lingers at the edge of the volcano's crater.

A few dark figures carrying metal boxes formed into a ring as if they were waiting for something.

All of the black figures were covered in a short black cloak, and beneath the cloak was silver bodysuits, with a thin red whip tied to their waists.

One of their member, the one standing on the far left looked up in the sky as he gently pulled down the hood, exposing Mi Yue's signature white spiked hair.

He touched the golden cross on his eyes.

“It is almost time, let's start the final ceremony.”

“Yes, Your Excellency.”

The rest of the men in black responded.

Mi Yue let out a smile, revealing a touch of anticipation.

“Perhaps after tonight, everything will change completely. The Three Hidden Realms had been ruling over everything for far too long, it is time for a change.”

“Have the Seven Locks all gotten into position?” He whispered.

“Yes, all of the Seven Locks are standing guard at all possible routes, to ward off any possible attacks,” one of the men in black answered.

“Then, let's start. With the energies of this active volcano as a tribute, activate the summoning ritual.” Mi Yue led the team towards the crater and leaped straight into the inside of the smoking volcano.

The rest of the men in black followed suit.
