"Mingfei!" Tian suddenly turned his head and saw Lu Mingfei being blasted away. His expression changed, and he rushed towards Lu Mingfei, but he was already a step too slow. The light of the dragon shadow became even more dazzling after tearing through space, and its huge body and boundless power began to recombine.

"You have no idea of ​​its power!" The high priest's voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, filled with an almost manic ecstasy. "The will of the King of Bronze and Fire is eternal, and its resurgence is unstoppable!"

Lu Mingfei struggled to his feet, a sharp pain shooting through his throat, blood staining the corner of his mouth. His eyes widened as he stared at the gradually reviving fiery dragon shadow, a wave of despair washing over him. "No, this can't be… I… I did it!"

"You destroyed the rune array, but its resurgence is not so easily stopped." The high priest grinned maliciously, raising his scepter and pointing it in the direction of the dragon's shadow. "The will of the dragons has been connected to this world through the barrier between the abyss and this world, and it can no longer be severed. No matter how you resist, the Dragon King will return."

The resurrected dragon shadow finally fully recovered. Its massive claws ripped through the air, unleashing flames and a terrifying aura as they reached towards the sky. Crimson light burned in its eyes, as if the entire abyss was ablaze in its fury. Its enormous size blotted out the sky, making it almost impossible to look directly at.

"This is the true power of the dragon race." The high priest's voice echoed deeply. "The true mission of the Hermes family is not merely to revive the Dragon King, but to bring the will of the dragon race back to this world and destroy everything."

"You lunatics!" Caesar roared furiously, firing his dual pistols incessantly, but the bullets seemed to have no effect on the dragon shadow's massive body. The dragon shadow's body seemed to be composed of magma and flames; any attack could only create slight ripples on its surface.

“You cannot stop it.” The high priest smiled confidently. “The resurrection of the King of Bronze and Fire has long been etched into the trajectory of destiny. Your efforts will only hasten its completion.” He slowly lowered his head, seemingly beginning to chant some ancient incantation, the scepter in his hand emitting an increasingly dazzling red light.

“This won’t do…” Lu Mingfei struggled to his feet, leaning against the rock wall. His eyes were still filled with pain, but he gritted his teeth and insisted, “We can’t let it revive, we can’t let it destroy this world!”

"What can you do?" The high priest glanced back at him, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Even if you die, you cannot stop the Dragon King's arrival. The fate of every one of you is destined to be devoured by the dragons!"

Just as the high priest finished speaking, another tremor came from the bottom of the abyss, followed by a chilling sound—the roar of the Dragon King's resurrection. The dragon's shadow's eyes snapped open, its intense light filling the entire space. Its massive claws lashed out like tidal waves, as if to tear everything apart.

"Heavens! What should we do?" Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with anxiety and pain. "We can't let it revive, or everyone will be doomed!"

A complex look flashed in Tian's eyes, but he remained calm. He quickly assessed the current situation, then suddenly took out a gleaming crystal from his equipment bag and said in a deep voice, "This crystal can temporarily seal the dragon's will, but only for a few minutes. We must use this time to destroy its core!"

“A few minutes? That’s not enough!” Caesar said through gritted teeth. “Its power has exceeded our imagination!”

“Even a second won’t be enough for us now.” Tian looked coldly at Long Ying. “Lu Mingfei, take this crystal. Its radiance can temporarily weaken the Dragon King’s revival process and give us time.”

"Can...can I do it?" Lu Mingfei gripped the crystal, his heart pounding. "I can't guarantee it..."

"Don't hesitate any longer!" Tian's voice was even more urgent. "This is our only chance. Take the crystal to get close to the Dragon King's heart. That place will be the source of the Dragon King's resurgence. Only by destroying its source can the Dragon King's will be completely sealed."

"You do it!" Caesar shoved Lu Mingfei before he could hesitate any longer. "There's not much time left. Don't let us sacrifice ourselves in vain!"

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, his heart pounding, but he didn't stop. He turned and ran towards the dragon's heart. The crystal in his hand emitted a faint light, seemingly reminding him that this was their only chance.

Dragon Shadow's eyes burned with crimson fury, seemingly having already noticed Lu Mingfei's actions. Its massive body twisted, its enormous tail whipping through the air, creating a destructive storm. Each swipe of its tail was like a blade slicing through the air, generating powerful gusts of wind pressure.

"Don't let him get close!" The high priest finally realized Lu Mingfei's intention and suddenly waved his scepter. The energy in the rune array erupted again, and the surrounding snake spirits and fire dragon shadows once again rushed violently towards the four of them.

"Lu Mingfei, hurry!" Tian's voice rang out again, filled with urgency and helplessness. "You have to be quick!"

Lu Mingfei exerted all his strength, running as fast as the wind, with overwhelming dragon might and impact behind him. Every step he took seemed to be a race against time. Even when the Dragon King's tail swept past, he dodged without hesitation. Finally, he leaped up and grabbed the core that was filled with crimson light.

The instant he touched the core, an incredibly powerful force surged forth from its center, nearly engulfing him. Lu Mingfei gripped the crystal tightly; the intense dragon's might seemed to attempt to distort time and space, preventing him from destroying the core.

But he didn't give up. He forcefully shoved the crystal into the Dragon King's core, and a violent tremor echoed through the abyss, followed by a burst of light. The dragon's body writhed violently, as if suffering unprecedented pain.

As Lu Mingfei forcefully shoved the crystal into the Dragon King's core, an indescribable tremor tore through the air, as if the entire abyss space had been ripped apart by an invisible force. Light surged forth like a tidal wave, engulfing everything around it. The Dragon King's body trembled violently; the intense flames and energy fluctuations nearly caused the entire abyss's rock walls to collapse, the air to distort, and the temperature to rise sharply.

"Quick! Get out of the way!" Tian shouted, rapidly firing his twin pistols through the air, trying to repel the oncoming fiery dragon shadow and its massive tail. Caesar followed closely behind, firing his twin pistols, unleashing deafening gunfire, but even so, the dragon shadow's defenses remained as solid as an iron wall, the bullets having almost no effect.

Lu Mingfei felt the powerful energy surging towards him, as if he were trapped in the Dragon King's air currents and energy vortex. A suffocating roar reached his ears, and the immense pressure made his legs almost unable to bear it. He gritted his teeth, gripped the crystal tightly, and stared intently at the violently reacting light, his heart feeling as if it would jump out of his chest.

Suddenly, the dragon's massive claw swooped down from the sky, instantly obscuring his entire view. The overwhelming dragon's might nearly made him lose consciousness. Just when he thought he couldn't take it anymore, a cold beam of light shot out from the side, precisely shattering the dragon's attack. The light tore through the air, striking the dragon's claw directly with a deafening explosion.

"Mingfei! Seize the opportunity!" Tian's voice rang out again, this time with a heavy sense of urgency and ruthlessness.

Lu Mingfei suddenly snapped back to reality, everything before him becoming crystal clear in an instant. He felt the crystal's light grow even brighter, while the surrounding dragon's might gradually diminished. The dragon shadow's movements began to slow; its giant claws retracted slowly, and its angry roar echoed through the abyss, but this time, its power was noticeably weaker.

"Keep going! Don't stop!" Tian charged forward, aiming at the dragon shadow's other claw and firing. His dual pistols fired in rapid succession, striking the dragon shadow's joints with precision, slowing its movements even further. At the same time, Caesar quickly turned to the other side, aiming his gun at the abyss's exit, sweeping beams of laser light at the approaching enemies.

"Mingfei, hurry!" Tian urged again, "Give me five more seconds, enough to destroy its will!"

Lu Mingfei felt the power of the crystal growing stronger and stronger. He gritted his teeth, his body barely able to withstand the pressure of the Dragon King's will. Every step felt like walking on a blade, the Dragon King's aura sweeping around him like a razor blade, as if trying to tear him to shreds. His palms were already soaked with sweat, his eyes filled with anger and determination.

"We can't let it revive! We can't let it destroy this world!" Lu Mingfei roared. He gripped the crystal tightly again and forcefully embedded it deep into the core of the dragon shadow. The crystal's light shone even brighter under the touch of his palm, gradually devouring all the surrounding dragon might.

At this moment, the dragon shadow's reaction intensified, its agonizing roar echoing throughout the abyss. Its body began to tremble, its immense power nearly tearing the entire space apart. Every twist of the fiery dragon shadow caused violent tremors throughout the abyss. Large amounts of magma gushed from the cracks, and waves of heat and explosions nearly engulfed the entire space.

"Quick, ten seconds, give me ten seconds!" Tian shouted, his dual pistols firing relentlessly. "Hold on a little longer, and the Dragon King's will will be completely severed!"
