Liang Yuan struggles against a powerful 100-point mutant black dragon in the Shadow World, where only Spiritual Power is effective. After an unsuccessful lottery draw for attribute points, he manages to reach 96.5 Spiritual Power and unleashes a Spiritual Flame, only for the dragon to extinguish it with its own dark energy. Realizing he cannot win, Liang Yuan uses a Sumeru Ring to escape the Shadow World, but the dragon then pulls everyone else nearby into its domain.
"Where am I? What is this location?" "How did I end up in here?" "Oh no, it is the Shadow World!" "Brother Zhou, where have you gone?" "Boss Huang?" "Ah—help!" Within the confines of the Shadow World, a collection of individuals cried out in misery, desperately searching for one another. In the oppressive darkness, each of them transformed into mere shadows. Viewed from the outside, the Brain Lake was completely obscured by an inky blackness. If one possessed the ability to see with the naked eye, it would reveal dozens of shadowy, humanoid figures fleeing in maddened haste within this darkened expanse. Simultaneously, an immense shadow resembling a dragon relentlessly pursued these fleeing figures. Whenever the dragon's shadow enveloped a humanoid form, an absolute silence ensued; it was as if they were utterly devoured. In this utterly black region, a solitary pinpoint of light flickered with desperation, pushing back the encroaching darkness. Huang Guangzu was frantically absorbing Attributeless Superpower Stones, causing his entire being to radiate light. At this very moment, he too had become light, continuously repelling the surrounding darkness. He darted back and forth within the dark energy field. Much like a drowning man fighting for life within an endless, dark ocean! Finally, this light began to wane, becoming dimmer and thinner. It was extinguished completely! Instantly, Huang Guangzu was swallowed by the darkness, transforming entirely into a shadow and merging into the Shadow World. Within the Shadow World, he was overcome with terror, witnessing the colossal black dragon! The black dragon was contorted and ghastly, accelerating its consumption of the fleeing humanoid shadows. Gripped by fear, Huang Guangzu quickly concealed himself in a corner, too afraid to move. He surmised that this black dragon was likely a formidable Dark Attribute Mutant Beast. In this Shadow World, such mutant beasts were practically invincible. Only other users of Dark Attribute Superpowers could possibly make a swift escape from such an environment. Otherwise, regardless of a Superpower User's might, escaping proved exceedingly difficult. Even as a Light Attribute Superpower User, he was no exception. If his primary attribute had reached 100 points, he might have possessed the capability to breach the darkness, dispel the gloom, and break free from the Shadow World. But under his current circumstances, escape was impossible. The black dragon continued its ravenous consumption of all shadows but seemed unable to locate the specific individual it sought. This undoubtedly incensed it, causing it to roar in fury throughout the dark realm. Terrified, Huang Guangzu trembled and desperately coiled himself into a ball. He dared not emit even the slightest glimmer of light. Yet, even in his stillness, the dragon, as the sovereign of the shadow world, instantly detected him! "Roar—" The black dragon swiveled and began to glide towards Huang Guangzu. This movement instantly turned Huang Guangzu's face ashen. He yearned to scream, to beg for mercy. But his voice seemed trapped in his throat. In his overwhelming fear, he lost his voice! He was struck speechless by terror! As the black dragon drew closer, its immense and hideous maw preparing to descend. Suddenly, the black dragon lifted its head, its gaze fixed on something in the distance. It appeared to have sensed an anomaly, instantly changing course and swimming away at great speed, completely disregarding the nearly captured Huang Guangzu. Huang Guangzu was momentarily stunned but soon wept tears of overwhelming relief. He emitted a few ragged cries before quickly covering his mouth, fearful of attracting the dragon's attention once more. As the dragon receded from view, the encompassing Shadow World gradually began to dissipate. Huang Guangzu remained frozen, rapidly regenerating his internal superpower. With the dragon's complete disappearance, the shadow world in this vicinity vanished entirely. The gentle lapping of waves from the Brain Lake reached his ears once more. This sensation made Huang Guangzu feel as though he had narrowly escaped a catastrophic fate. He scrambled to his feet, clambering onto a nearby rock. "I'm not dead, I'm not dead!" "Hahaha, I survived, I truly survived!" "They're all gone, Mr. Liang, even Mr. Liang is dead!" Huang Guangzu muttered to himself, his mind in a state of delirium. He lay on the rock, remaining utterly still for a considerable duration. Meanwhile, outside in the immense canyon, a group of individuals arrived, carried by the current. The winding gorge swiftly propelled these vessels towards a massive underground vortex. Upon emerging from the vortex, a subterranean passage lay before them! The passage was an inundated depression, filled with Dark Attribute energy stones. From the Water God Sect, Han Tai was immediately ecstatic: "Bloodline Path!" From the military's side, Ding Huaiyi's eyes also gleamed brightly: "Indeed, a Bloodline Path. It only materializes within a Floating Island; I never expected this canyon to lead directly to the Bloodline Path!" Others in the group also displayed evident excitement. Clearly, none of them had anticipated discovering the Bloodline Path so effortlessly on this occasion. Locating the Bloodline Path signifies the potential to find the heart chamber! No matter how intricate the Bloodline Path might be, its appearance denotes a route to the heart chamber, presenting an opportunity to acquire the Heart Core! Within this assembled group, it was apparent that Spirit Ability Users were present.

Even amidst the profound darkness, their surroundings were rendered with perfect clarity. This clarity, of course, stemmed from the results of their spiritual probing.

"Quickly, everyone disembark! The water here is far too shallow for our ship to proceed further."

"Anchor the vessel, cease movement! Do not panic, do not rush. The more critical the situation, the calmer we must remain."

"The path of bloodlines is an intricate labyrinth, fraught with countless routes. Straying onto the wrong one could easily lead one astray, trapping them within its depths."

"All personnel, listen up! Form groups of at least three individuals. Each group must have a Spirit Ability User to lead the way in pathfinding. This world is saturated with dark energy, completely devoid of any light for illumination."

"Exercise extreme caution, as Dark Attribute Mutant Beasts may lurk nearby."

Across all the vessels, the leaders of the various factions began issuing commands, diligently organizing their subordinates.

The ships ceased their movement and dropped anchor. Everyone made their final preparations and, under the cover of darkness, leaped from the decks of their ships.

Bang!

Splash!

One individual misjudged their landing, splashing into a puddle with a resounding noise, while others found hidden reefs beneath the water, producing dull, muted thuds.

"Damn it, it’s so dark I can’t see a thing. I despise the dark the most," someone grumbled under their breath.

"Qin Xiong, are you seriously afraid of the dark, you wuss?"

"Shut the hell up."

The group erupted into laughter, their earlier apprehension seemingly vanishing in an instant.

A Spirit Ability User took the lead, calling out, "Follow me closely, don't get separated. This path seems quite wide."

Another voice chimed in with grave warning, "Be vigilant against sneak attacks from other factions."

Individuals from the various factions drew closer, their gazms filled with mutual suspicion.

From the military contingent, Ding Huaiyi extended his Spiritual Power, encompassing a radius of nearly four hundred meters, revealing everything within that sphere. This greatly bolstered his confidence.

While others were blind, he, with his commendable 84 points in the Spiritual Attribute, could clearly perceive all that surrounded him.

"The Earth Mother Sect is being led by Desert Watcher Fang Hao this time. He is an Earth Attribute Superpower User, lacking Spiritual Power probing abilities, thus posing no significant threat."

"The Water God Sect has brought Heavy Water Priest Deng Ze and Plague Priest Han Tai. Neither possesses Spiritual Power probing abilities, so they are of no concern."

"However, the Spiritual Ability Sect presents a considerable problem with one of the seven members of the Evolution Conference, the Shadow Chairman. While his appearance remains unknown, he is undoubtedly a Dark Attribute Superpower User."

"In this current locale, this place is effectively his domain. He is the one we must be most vigilant against."

With his thoughts clarified, Ding Huaiyi directed his focused Spiritual Power towards the situation involving the Spiritual Ability Sect.

At this precise moment, members of the Spiritual Ability Sect donned peculiar helmets.

These helmets bore a resemblance to jellyfish, primarily constructed from golden material, with numerous elongated tentacles trailing loosely. The composition of these dangling tentacles remained a mystery.

Upon donning these eerie helmets, it was as if they gained the ability to instantly perceive their external surroundings, and they all commenced a frantic sprint.

Witnessing this display, Ding Huaiyi was taken aback and immediately shouted, "The Spiritual Ability Sect possesses equipment that allows them to perceive their surroundings!"

Upon hearing this, individuals from the other major factions cast their gazes around.

Then, the leader of Baoshan City, Xu Haoyang, suddenly made a grand gesture with his hand.

Buzz!

In an instant, a dazzling shockwave erupted from his palm! All the surrounding Dark Attribute energy was immediately dispersed.

Like a bolt of lightning tearing through the darkened heavens, it illuminated the ground.

Seizing this moment of brilliance, Xu Haoyang swiftly lunged forward, seizing hold of a disciple from the Spiritual Ability Sect.

Concurrently, a water projectile smashed into another disciple of the Spiritual Ability Sect.

Bang bang!

The water projectile, akin to a colossal hammer, pulverized the Spiritual Ability Sect disciple into a bloody pulp.

Following this, a Water Element body materialized beside the remains, snatching the helmet from the ground.

Meanwhile, Xu Haoyang had also managed to procure a helmet.

On Ding Huaiyi’s part, his Spiritual Power manifested as potent telekinesis, directing a bullet to instantly pierce the skull of a Spiritual Ability Sect disciple.

He too succeeded in obtaining a helmet.

Simultaneously, much further behind, the Earth Mother Sect’s Desert Watcher Fang Hao remained inactive. However, a subordinate beside him slammed his hands onto the ground, causing the earth to tremor violently.

The puddle ahead churned furiously, unexpectedly engulfing a disciple from the Spiritual Ability Sect.

The puddle appeared as an abyss with no bottom, relentlessly drawing the disciple deeper.

Soon after, a figure emerged from beneath the earth, removing the helmet from the disciple's head before rapidly burrowing back underground.

Reappearing once more, this individual was already back with the Earth Mother Sect team, having emerged from the subterranean depths.

"Sir, here you are."

The figure respectfully presented the helmet to Fang Hao.

Fang Hao offered a smile and a nod, remarking, "Excellent work."

Wu Meng remained behind, his gaze silently observing the unfolding situation, his eyes briefly resting on the helmet as if lost in deep contemplation.

"Just you wait, I'll make you regret this!"

Within the confines of the Spiritual Ability Sect, a man's furious roar echoed, yet he dared not linger, quickly turning and vanishing into the enveloping darkness.

However, not long after his hurried departure, a figure materialized abruptly from the void.

*Poof!*

A swift, horizontal strike severed the man's head clean off.

The mysterious figure snatched the severed head, then ascended once more, morphing into a mere shadow before disappearing entirely.

During that fleeting moment of illumination, the individual moved with lightning-fast speed, instantly drawing the attention of several onlookers.

Ding Huaiyi, still clutching the helmet, also caught sight of the rushing figure.

His brow furrowed slightly. "Someone from Ji’an City's Furong Valley? Could this person be a Speed Ability User?"

He expressed a degree of surprise, as Speed Type and Strength Type Superpower Users were typically not held in high regard.

In Guangfu, an abundance of such Superpower Users existed, but the primary issue was the simplicity of their abilities.

Their powers were generally limited to enhanced speed or increased strength.

A multitude of methods existed for other Superpower Users to effectively counter them.

Ding Huaiyi found himself pondering the reason behind a Speed Ability User being appointed as the leader for Furong Valley.

Just then, this newly arrived group initiated their assault, forming a clear encirclement around the disciples of the Spiritual Ability Sect.

Witnessing this, a shadow materialized directly behind one of the Spiritual Ability Sect disciples.

Subsequently, the shadow extended a palm, pressing it into the empty air.

*Buzz!*

Instantly, the sky, previously illuminated by Xu Haoyang's light wave, dimmed once more, plunging the surroundings back into complete darkness!

Following this, a cacophony of continuous screams erupted from all directions.

Ding Huaiyi gasped in shock. "Chairman Shadow, Zhang Mi!"

"Haha, though I may be a shadow, did you truly believe I was nonexistent?"

A cold, sneering voice emerged from the oppressive darkness.

As individuals were continually felled around them, Xu Haoyang unleashed his power again.

A blinding radiance reappeared, sweeping across the area and once again repelling the encroaching darkness.

Yet, even within that brief interval, several individuals from various factions had met their end, their heads severed.

A contingent from the Spiritual Ability Sect had already pushed forward, forging a path through the bloodline trail.

Observing this, Ding Huaiyi wasted no time, issuing a resounding command. "Charge!"

The other major factions echoed his cry in unison, immediately surging forward into the bloody path!
