Reincarnation: The Soul of Dashul

The sound of the wind kept ringing in Leido's ears, and his ears were almost numb. He had already flown more than two hundred kilometers, but Leido still couldn't stop on his own. The Dragon God was indeed a top-level expert, not just someone who made a fuss.

Just now, Leido was thrown out by the Dragon God. Whether it was because his physical body was too strong or because the Dragon God did it on purpose, Leido relied solely on the strength of his physical body to break through Azazel's magical energy blockade and fly out of the battlefield.

To Ledo's surprise, the dragon god of the dragon race not only did not intend to kill him, but did not even try to harm him. Instead, he protected him from Azazel's attacks.

This left Ledo feeling both relieved and somewhat frustrated. He was relieved that he had survived, but frustrated because the guardian spirit Azazel had naturally assumed that Ledo was in league with the Dragon God.

"This power... it's insane! Why did you save me? Could it be... because of the Dragon Balls we collected back then, and the Dragon God is grateful to me? But I was tricked!"

Leido found that his body was slowly recovering, but he still couldn't control it freely, and he couldn't even use the art of manipulating objects. He was astonished by the power of the Dragon God and thought of what happened at the Cerberus ruins.

"The Lamp Spirit said the Dragon God is at the Saint-level of a Magician, but he should be stronger than that Kimina. I wonder if there are any more Saint-level Magicians like the Bell Keeper? Could they withstand the enemy's invasion? With the Light and Shadow Society, the Puppet Clan, and the Dragonkin Clan united, this storm is bound to be fierce..."

Leido was unable to move, but his thoughts were very complicated. He had obtained very important intelligence this time, but he couldn't sort it out completely for the time being. However, at least he was far away from the battlefield, and presumably Azazel wouldn't have the energy to look for him at the moment.

"I just secretly marked Ivan. I hope it won't be discovered. I'll chase after him after we leave the secret realm!" Leido used a new special method to mark Ivan in the chaos, but he didn't know how long it would last, and he also didn't know if the enemy would notice, after all, the difference in cultivation level was huge.

Leido and Sovero have been searching for Maria for nearly three years, and now they have finally found Ivan here. The Moonfall Pendant cannot be used, and he does not have a magic artifact like the Puppet Tracker, so he tried to use fused energy to mark the enemy's elemental imprint, hoping it would work.

Forced to fly for over 500 kilometers, Leido's body finally recovered. He managed to stabilize himself and float in mid-air. He was not injured, but the Dragon God's strength astonished him. With just a casual toss, he was completely powerless to fight back.

"Hmm? It's lit up? There's a reaction!" Suddenly, Leido noticed that the crystal tower in the Mountain and Sea Map was generating energy fluctuations. He summoned this treasure-hunting artifact and was overjoyed to see the light flashing on it.

"It's in this direction..." Leido was just looking for the mysterious Immortal Binding Rope and was about to give up when the Dragon God's throw led him to discover its trail. He took a step with his Wind Step and flew swiftly towards the southeast.

"This terrain... why does it look so familiar? Is it... the Tomb of the Trapped God?"

Ledo flew with the Crystal Tower to a spot and was shocked to see the strange terrain below, which looked like a giant urn. It was exactly the same terrain that had trapped them during the cat-and-mouse game, only the area was many times larger.

Beneath his feet was a huge valley, its sides sheer cliffs like giant fingers reaching out from the ground to grasp the land. At the bottom of the valley was a still river, its waters swirling and devoid of any sign of life.

"Why are there two Tomb of the Trapped Gods? Could it be... like Moon Lake of the Moon Elf Dragon Clan? Is the Ancient Tree Secret Realm also divided into inner and outer layers? The outer space where we participated in the tournament was a manifestation of this terrain..."

Leido suddenly remembered the mysterious Dragon Spring of the Moon Elf Dragon Clan deep in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. He suddenly realized that he had found many records in ancient books about mysterious terrain and space.

"Could it be that the entire external space of the Ancient Tree Secret Realm... is constructed from ordered energy? My god... how powerful must that energy be to achieve this?"

There were some things that Leido couldn't understand at the time, but the wondrous Spell of Observation recorded all that natural knowledge. Now, by combining that knowledge with the secrets of the ancient tree realm, he finally understood the mystery.

"Wait... the Tomb of the Gods... the Immortal-Binding Rope... the God-Binding and Immortal-Binding Rope? Could it be... the same thing? Why didn't I think of that before!"

Leido was shocked again and again. In fact, he had already encountered clues about the Binding Immortal Rope, but he was busy with the debate and had a strong competitor watching him closely, so he did not pay attention to the reaction of the Treasure Crystal Tower.

Looking at the crystal tower in his hand that was bursting with brilliant light, Ledo prepared to throw out the Tarot, a magical artifact, and, following the method taught by his teacher Ulysses, sense the Binding Rope and cast a magic circle to collect this mysterious artifact.

However, Ledo suddenly paused, a scene flashing through his mind: the last seven Tarot cards were instantly destroyed by the Holy Magician Kimina. Ledo felt a strange pang of fear, regret, and remorse.

"...Why do I have this feeling of déjà vu when I think about the destruction of the Tarot...? It's like I've seen that scene in a dream?"

Leido then realized that he had lost the Tarot. Although he was safe and sound, he felt a strange feeling whenever he thought of the destruction of the Tarot.

Reluctantly, Ledo summoned another item, a wand that Norman had crafted for him back at the magic academy. It was merely a level three magical artifact, used by Ledo to practice magic while studying at the school.

"The wand provided by the conference is long gone... This is all I have!" Leido hesitated. He didn't know if a level three wand could withstand a powerful magic circle, but he had no other magical artifacts to use.

Although magic circles can be summoned without the use of magical artifacts, the enhancement and balance provided by these artifacts allow magicians to achieve twice the result with half the effort when casting magic circles with special functions. The magic circle that Leido is about to summon is specifically designed to collect the Binding Immortal Rope.

Leido held his magic wand and inscribed magic circles in the air, but he was uneasy. He had finally found the Binding Immortal Rope, but if he couldn't collect it because he didn't have a suitable magic tool to summon the magic circle, he would really be swallowing a bitter pill.

A moment later, a small magic circle with a rather complex pattern appeared in front of Leido and parallel to the ground. As Leido chanted the incantation, the magic circle released golden light, then quickly grew larger and spread out, eventually covering the entire valley below.

"Huh? Why is it golden? Didn't Professor Ulysses say it was seven-colored?" Ledo was taken aback. When he was guiding the magic energy in his body just now, he gathered and summoned all seven elemental forces of wind, thunder, water, fire, earth, light, and darkness according to the requirements of the formation. It should have shown seven-colored brilliance.

Leido knew something was wrong. He felt that this attempt would most likely fail. The strength of a level three magic artifact was completely insufficient to withstand the magical energy formed by the convergence of seven elemental forces. Suddenly, a cracking sound came from the middle of the wand. Leido was shocked to hear the sound: "Oh no! It really broke!"

However, just as Leido thought he had failed, a strange magical energy fluctuation slowly emanated from the Tomb of the Trapped God below, gradually gaining the power to shake the heavens and the earth. Then Leido's eyes lit up; he was both surprised and delighted...
