Xu Nian placed the Space Black Demon Spider’s corpse into the storage ring, and a look of relief appeared on his face.

The corpse of this Black Demon Spider was an excellent artifact refining material.

How could such material be wasted?

Next, Xu Nian led Kuang Shi and Kong Xiao directly to the fourth level.

However, what Xu Nian and the others did not expect was that the fourth level was completely empty.

This immediately baffled Xu Nian.

In fact, not only was Xu Nian puzzled, but Kuang Shi and Kong Xiao were also confused.

"Master, something’s not right. The fourth level should have a Golden Emperor Bear, which usually doesn’t move from its spot. It would never leave so easily, yet now it’s not here," Kuang Shi said.

"It’s indeed strange. The Golden Emperor Bear is a very lazy creature. Without an important reason, it wouldn’t leave so easily," Kong Xiao added.

Xu Nian also agreed that something was off.

"No matter, let’s head directly to the fifth level," Xu Nian said.

Kuang Shi and Kong Xiao both nodded.

Then, the three of them went directly to the fifth level.

However, the fifth level was also empty.

"This is odd, how is the fifth level also empty? Where did these creatures go?" Kuang Shi asked in confusion.

"The fifth level is home to nine King Dragons. They are a group of nine brothers whose combined strength is substantial," Kong Xiao said.

Xu Nian’s expression turned grave.

He had a bad feeling.

Kuang Shi and Kong Xiao felt the same.

This kind of situation was extremely rare in the Heavenly Dragon Divine Prison.

"Let’s go, to the sixth level," Xu Nian said.

Kuang Shi and Kong Xiao nodded.

Then, Xu Nian led the two of them up to the sixth level.

This level finally had some figures. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

However, there were only three people.

These three were all Demon Emperor Perfection level experts.

Xu Nian observed that these three had somewhat peculiar true forms.

"Their true forms are Black Striped God Extinguishing Ants; very powerful, with extremely remarkable bodies," Kuang Shi transmitted to Xu Nian.

"Indeed, their bodies are very strong, not inferior to the Dragon Clan. In terms of strength, they might even surpass them," Kong Xiao said.

Black Striped God Extinguishing Ants?

Xu Nian was somewhat surprised.

He had heard of these divine beasts.

These divine beasts, while ants, had extreme strength and defense.

In the Divine World, ordinary experts would avoid these social creatures.

Not for any other reason, but because they lived in colonies.

Once one of them was provoked, a large group would be drawn.

So no one would dare to offend these creatures.

However, these Black Striped God Extinguishing Ants have a flaw, which is that upon reaching adulthood, they reach the Demon Emperor Peak level.

Breaking through to the Divine-level is extremely difficult.

Within an ant colony, very few can break through to the Divine-level.

However, upon breaking through, their bloodline improves significantly.

At that time, they become even more terrifying.

So the Divine-level is quite a threshold for the Black Striped God Extinguishing Ants.

"Kuang Shi, Kong Xiao, why have you come up here? Don’t you know this is not a place for you?" the leading Destructive God Ant among the three said.

"Why can’t we come up? Black Element, why are there only you three on this level, and where are the others?" Kuang Shi asked.

The three Black Striped God Extinguishing Ants exchanged glances, then one said, "That’s not a question you should ask. You’d best leave the way you came, or don’t blame us for not being polite."

Kuang Shi frowned instantly.

Kong Xiao also felt something was very wrong.

"Master, this sixth level usually has many Demon Beasts, but today there are only these three, which is obviously suspicious," Kong Xiao said.

Xu Nian’s face also turned pensive.

Though he didn’t know what was happening, the three of them seemed to be guarding the tunnel entrance.

It seemed like the seventh level held some important secret.

And Xu Yu still hadn’t appeared, which could only mean he was on the seventh level.

"Gentlemen, we mean no harm, we are simply looking for someone, a Golden Crow Divine Eagle who was imprisoned a few years ago," Xu Nian said.

"Golden Crow Divine Eagle?" The three God Extinguishing Ants were momentarily stunned.

Then their eyes narrowed.

"Are you that Xu Nian?" asked the one called Black Element.

Xu Nian was even more surprised.

They actually knew him?

"Do you know me?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

He had never been here; how did these people know his name?

So Xu Nian could only think of one possibility.

Sikong Wushang.

This fellow must have spread his information in this Divine Prison.

Which probably wasn’t good news for him.

"Of course we know you, a human yet you possess the Supreme True Dragon Bloodline. Kid, your time is up," one of the God Extinguishing Ants said with a cold laugh.

The other two God Extinguishing Ants also showed mocking expressions.

Xu Nian’s gaze turned sharp, like a blade.

It seemed just as he thought, Sikong Wushang had contacted the people in the Heavenly Dragon Divine Prison.

They likely intended to keep him here.

Little Yu?

Was Little Yu in danger then?

"Does the Heavenly Dragon Divine Mountain have Dragon Clan experts?" Xu Nian asked Kong Xiao and Kuang Shi via transmission.

"Yes, the most powerful one in the Heavenly Dragon Divine Prison, Ao Tian, is of the Dragon Clan," Kong Xiao transmitted back.

"Ao Tian?" Xu Nian’s gaze turned as sharp as a sword.

Indeed!

"Is Ao Tian very strong? Comparable to a Demigod?" Xu Nian asked.

"Yes, Ao Tian’s true form is a mutated True Dragon. Early on, he acquired the True Dragon Bloodline, and he is an extremely powerful descendant of the Purple Lightning Proud Dragon. Yet due to his mutation, he gained a powerful devouring ability, and his thunder turned black, so he calls himself the Black God Devouring Sky Dragon," Kuang Shi transmitted back.

"Black God Devouring Sky Dragon? What a domineering name," Xu Nian thought to himself with a smile.

But a mutated True Dragon?

It seemed the mutation made him even stronger.

"Even if mutated, he wouldn’t have power comparable to a Demigod, right?" Xu Nian asked.

"Yes, he is very strong but still just stronger than an ordinary Demon Emperor Perfection. However, he possesses a Divine-level soul," Kong Xiao responded.

"A Divine-level soul?" Xu Nian was taken aback.

How could a Demon Emperor Perfection level possessor have a Divine-level soul?

"I’m not sure how he obtained it, but besides his own soul, there’s another, more powerful soul within him. When Ao Tian can’t handle it, that Divine-level soul takes over. Though Ao Tian rarely faces situations he can’t handle," Kong Xiao continued.

Xu Nian understood immediately.

There should be a Divine-level expert’s soul within Ao Tian.

Not unlike himself, except that his soul was the legendary Divine Emperor.

"Master Ye Tian?" Xu Nian pondered and decided to awaken Emperor Ye Tian.

"I’ve heard it all. As it happens, I’m at a critical stage of recovery and this soul is just the tonic I need. Xu Nian, do your best, leave the Divine-level expert to me," Emperor Ye Tian said.

"Alright!" Xu Nian’s eyes lit up immediately.

With Emperor Ye Tian’s assurance, he had nothing to worry about now.
