According to Quan Yi's feeling, he had arrived at the middle of the cave.
The light from the cave entrance barely reached here.
However, even without the sunlight, the visual perception of the internal space was not dim.
The reason for this was the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon in front of him.
The Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon before him had two horns on its head and four claws on its abdomen. It was a red dragon with a body reaching over a hundred meters in height, and its thick scales were covered in a faint, flickering firelight.
Unlike the Dragon Flame Beast, a pseudo-dragon that Quan Yi had hunted before, the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon was a true dragon with pure blood.
By the firelight emitted from the scales, Quan Yi discovered that the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon was currently lying prone on the ground, fast asleep with its eyes closed.
Steady, rhythmic snores vibrated the air inside the cave.
Quan Yi was extremely excited, but he still calmly investigated the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon's condition.
According to Quan Yi's visual estimation, each of the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon's horns was over nine meters long.
Seeing this, Quan Yi was secretly shocked, saying in his heart, "Based on the length, this Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon is probably around ninety thousand to ninety-five thousand years old."
The length of the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon's pair of sharp dragon horns was the best way to judge its age.
Not only that, but the sharp dragon horns, like spears, were constantly absorbing Fire-attribute energy from the surrounding area.
As Fire-attribute particles, Quan Yi could clearly sense that the Fire-attribute energy around him was flying towards the pair of dragon horns.
Even he himself could faintly feel that pulling force, tugging at him, but this force could not shake him.
And those dragon horns, condensed with a massive amount of Fire-attribute energy, were the root cause that attracted Quan Yi to this place.
Seeing this, Quan Yi already had a certain understanding of the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon's situation.
He did not continue to stay, but quietly retreated and flew back towards Quan Li's location as quickly as possible.
Appearing again, Quan Yi hurriedly said, "Grandpa, I've found it."
A look of joy flashed in Quan Li's eyes, and he quickly asked, "What kind of Soul Beast is it?"
Quan Yi replied, "It's a Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon of about ninety thousand to ninety-five thousand years. It's a true dragon species with extremely strong Fire-attribute talent. There's no better choice as a Soul Ring."
Upon hearing this, Quan Li was first filled with joy, but he was soon overcome with worry.
Ninety thousand years was about the level of many Titled Douluo's ninth Soul Ring.
Moreover, the opponent was a powerful true dragon species, and Quan Yue was worried that with his strength, he would not be able to quickly kill the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon.
At this moment, Quan Yi's words shocked Quan Li even more.
"Grandpa, this time, I want to try fighting the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon alone. Grandpa only needs to help me stand guard at the entrance of the cave to prevent enemies from entering."
Quan Li hurriedly asked, "Are you sure? This is a dragon-type Soul Beast that is close to one hundred thousand years old. In terms of strength, even a one hundred thousand year Soul Beast may not be its opponent.
Although you are inherently invincible against Fire-attribute Soul Beasts, if I remember correctly, doesn't the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon's dragon horn have the ability to absorb Fire-attribute energy? Can your attack quickly resolve the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon without attracting other Soul Beasts?"
Quan Yi replied, "According to my observation, this Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon is at a critical juncture in its cultivation. Judging from the fact that it's sleeping soundly inside the cave in broad daylight, it's currently in a state of closed-door cultivation.
It may not even be able to detect my aura when it's awake, let alone discover my existence in a state of cultivation.
If Grandpa approaches it, it will inevitably startle it."
The Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon was a diurnal Soul Beast, and it was not in its habit to stay in its nest and sleep in broad daylight.
Based on his judgment of its age, Quan Yi guessed that this Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon was charging towards the one hundred thousand year level.
To this end, it had to reduce its body's consumption through sleep and accumulate energy for its breakthrough through its pair of powerful dragon horns.
Quan Yi continued, "As for the attack power issue that Grandpa is worried about, there's even less need to worry.
Even among the same flames, there are differences in quality."
A look of arrogance and disdain flashed in Quan Yi's eyes.
As the owner of the Ultimate Fire, Quan Yi's flames had absolute suppression over ordinary Fire-attribute Soul Masters or Soul Beasts.
Especially after personally experiencing the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon's Fire-attribute energy at close range, Quan Yi had a clearer understanding of his own flames.
Quan Li saw the look in Quan Yi's eyes and saw a domineering aura of self-importance.
Three years ago, Quan Yi, as a Soul Master, was still somewhat immature. But now, three years later, all Quan Li felt from Quan Yi was pure power.
He smiled with relief and said, "Good, since you're confident, I won't say more. Rest for a bit, then we'll set off."
Quan Li chose to trust Quan Yi.
Quan Yi began to sit cross-legged to recover his Soul Power.
If someone could see through Quan Yi's body, they would definitely see two Vermillion orbs condensed in Quan Yi's dantian.
These two orbs were precisely the Soul Power Crystals that Quan Yi maintained.
With the improvement of his mental strength, Quan Yi could compress more Soul Power. Without affecting the operation of Soul Power in his body, each of these two Soul Power Crystals contained 100% of his Soul Power.
As for why there were only two, it was because whenever Quan Yi tried to condense one more high-concentration Soul Power Crystal, the other two crystals would show signs of losing control.
For the sake of stability and safety, Quan Yi did not conduct further tests.
Although it was a bit of a pity, Quan Yi still had three times the Soul Power reserves.
For a long time, Quan Yi had not encountered an opponent who could force him to use his Soul Power Crystals.
But now, facing the 90,000-year-level Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon, he finally had the opportunity to use them.
...
At noon, Quan Yi and Quan Li, who had recovered their states, arrived at the entrance of the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon's lair.
The pitch-black cave entrance was like a giant mouth of an abyss, and the terrifying aura emanating from within stimulated all of Quan Li's nerves.
From the large and deep cave entrance, one could see the size and strength of the excavator.
Quan Li looked at Quan Yi, who was beside him with a glint in his eyes, looking eager to try, and said solemnly, "Go, I'll guard the entrance."
Quan Li's presence could not only prevent external enemies from entering, but also prevent the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon from escaping.
With Quan Li guarding the area, Quan Yi had no worries at all.
After exchanging glances with Quan Li, his body turned into a ball of flames and floated towards the inside of the cave.
But this time, Quan Yi only felt his soul vibrating and excited. He hadn't felt such an exciting moment in a long time.
He had long yearned for a hearty battle.
The floating flame seemed to be responding to Quan Yi's spirit, becoming exceptionally active.
This time, Quan Yi did not deliberately hide his aura, and his powerful aura was released to the fullest.
The Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon, far in the depths of the cave, keenly sensed this aura and opened its huge Dragon Eyes.
"Roar!"
The Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon opened its huge mouth, its throat brewing intense firelight. The next moment, along with a huge dragon roar, it spewed towards the cave entrance.
