In a very short time, Rod had collected all the information related to the Giant Dragon Graveyard from the Great Book Library and Jinwoosi Society.

According to scholars’ conjectures, the giant dragons went extinct in the Star Fall battle, which took place after the Giant Royal Court battle, and was their desperate roar.

Legend has it that the divine city of the giant dragons was a Floating City, where most of the dragons were entrenched. After the decisive battle, the Floating City fell, like a falling star, thus this battle was also known as the "Star Fall Battle."

The dragons were completely wiped out in this battle, and all three Dragon Kings perished. However, according to the information Rod obtained, they were already aware of their inevitable destruction. Most of them preserved their hearts using secret techniques before dying, leading to the scattered Dragon Tombs throughout the world.

Rod was fortunate enough to encounter one, but unfortunately, he never found another one afterward.

The search for the Giant Dragon Graveyard has been conducted by Trolian for some time, and it did not start now. They have found many clues, basically proving that the Floating City of the dragons was at the junction of the Gray Soil Continent and the Dead Soil Continent.

In other words, the Dead Ash Mountain Range.

The Book of the Future confirmed this statement.

"Master, I see the dragon’s wings obscuring the sky, lightning, beams of light, fire, acid liquid, crisscrossing in the sky, the shadow of the Dead Ash Mountain Range emerging in the darkness... I’m certain there’s a resting place for dragons in the Dead Ash Mountain Range."

Rod nodded slightly; he had already explored the western part of the Dead Ash Mountain Range. The endpoint was the tomb of the God of Giants, where he obtained half of the Giant Divine Sword.

But the eastern part remained unexplored.

He immediately flew east at the fastest speed.

The undulating mountains passed quickly in front of him; the other ability of the Heavenly Sphere Clock—alarm for detecting ruins—remained silent.

Rod furrowed his brow slightly; he couldn’t stray too far from the Royal City. If he doesn’t discover the existence of the Giant Dragon Graveyard shortly, he must turn back.

But just at the next moment, a tinkling sound instantly arose beside him, and Rod immediately descended.

A dense Black Fog surged forward, but it couldn’t obscure his vision. He quickly observed the folds in space, indicating that the Giant Dragon Graveyard didn’t exist directly and was generally hidden behind certain barriers.

Though the Spirit Boat remained unusable, Rod cared little. He directly summoned the Giant Divine Sword, unleashed all his Spiritual Energy, and slashed downward.

Crack!

The entire space before him was instantly split in half, ethereal shadows descended slowly, revealing a massive dragon head.

It was shrouded in Black Fog, spewing forth corrupt aura, twisted souls shimmering forth, and dark powers poured prolifically.

This was a monster.

The dragon had decayed.

Rod’s heart sank.

There’s no telling whether this decayed dragon still holds a preserved Dragon Heart.

Worse still, this corrupt dragon was quite formidable, at least to the level of a great Monarch.

No, that’s not right.

Although it lacked Root Origin, its Spiritual Energy was skyrocketing, quickly reaching the limit of 40 million thousand ke, a strong, decayed, and twisted life force swept forth.

Rod knew that the dragon’s might stemmed from its physical body, possessing unparalleled Life Power, serving as the body to bear its Spiritual Energy, which was far stronger than others of the same rank.

This would be a tough battle; he would need to unleash full power, perhaps at great cost, to slay it.

But Rod didn’t have the time or the means to expend energy here.

What to do?

While Rod hesitated, the corrupt dragon didn’t attack but lowered its head, unveiling its vulnerable nape to Rod.

What?

Startled, Rod faintly heard a lingering echo in the air.

Kill me...

Kill me...

Ehaius, kill me...

Rod realized that it mistook him for the Giant Ancestor Ehaius.

The Giant Dragon Clan and Giant Clan were of the same era; dragons must have known the Giant Ancestor Ehaius.

He stepped forward, slicing down with his sword.

Without any resistance, the sharp Divine Sword severed the dragon’s fragile neck, and the enormous dragon head fell, the entire body began to collapse, and the soul evaporated.

A massive cloud of gray air entered his body.

[The Corrupt Soul of Ancient Dragon King Carex]

[Divine Soul]

[Possesses twenty-five portions of Strong Source]

[One of the dragon kings of the Giant Dragon Clan, He perished in the Star Fall Battle, dragon head severed, limbs cut down, and fell with the remaining body into the depths of the Black Fog, respectively corrupting into new monsters, while this monster retained the dragon king’s head and the majority of his soul]

[Before dying, Ancient Dragon King Carex extracted the Dragon Heart containing most of the strength, preserved in a secret tomb, and the magic power of the stars caused this strongest monster to retreat to the secret tomb before settling down, safeguarding it against other monsters] 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Rod’s heart trembled; so that’s how it was, no wonder this monster committed suicide upon seeing him.

It actually utilized the power of the stars, retaining a thread of residual sanity.

It’s incredible to think that dragons could utilize the power of the stars.

Rod raised his head, and after the dragon collapsed, a massive tomb emerged before him, entirely black, hundreds of yards high, covered with countless layers of dust.

Below the tomb was a gigantic door, with a strange sealing light encircling the door frame.
