In the Sea of Suffering, the fog became denser, and amid the heavy mist, ripples formed on the water. A Dragon of Blood lineage, nearly thirty feet in size, partook in the soul power of the vast Sea of Suffering as it roamed into the distance.
Standing on the Dragon's back was unmistakably Xiao Chen.
Now submissive, the Dragon rendered the use of the awkward, barely-functional bamboo leaf boat Xiao Chen had employed up till now unnecessary; moreover, the Dragon's speed surpassed that of the boat by incomprehensible multiples within the Sea of Suffering.
With the gods in this era extinct, this Dragon, which possessed a Divine Beast Bloodline, was likely one of the few remaining of its kind. Had it not been trapped in the Sea of Suffering due to a twist of fate, it perhaps would've perished alongside the ancient gods.
Of course, the cost it paid was that only its Dragon Soul remained; its Dragon Body had likely been annihilated in that era.
