Chapter 1668 - 1633: Flying to the Hengguang Empire Ruins

"Do you mean that the capital city of the Hengguang Empire is guarded by only one winged dragon?"

Yang Xiao looked at the Spider King.

The Spider King nodded and said:

"Although there is only one winged dragon, various demon beasts around will follow the winged dragon's command, and this winged dragon is already halfway into the Saint Level Supreme, extremely powerful."

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and asked:

"What weaknesses does the winged dragon have?"

The Sky Wolf King was taken aback, looked at Yang Xiao, and laughed:

"You don't intend to challenge this winged dragon alone, do you?"

"That's right, I must get that Godslayer Sword from the winged dragon."

The Sky Wolf King was unaware of the relationship between the Godslayer Sword, Wind-controlling Boots, and Golden Battle God Armor, nor did he know that thousands of years ago someone wielded these three Divine Artifacts to defeat the King of Hengguang Empire.

The Sky Wolf King looked at Yang Xiao and said seriously:

"Benefactor, I know you are quite capable, but I still advise against challenging that winged dragon. Once, a Flying Lion that had just broken through to the Saint Level Supreme came to challenge the winged dragon but wasn't a match and was killed by the winged dragon guarding the capital of Hengguang Empire."

"Does this winged dragon have no weaknesses at all?"

"You should first understand the winged dragon's strengths and advantages."

"Oh, then tell me, what are the winged dragon's strengths?"

"First, the winged dragon is covered with scale armor, providing extremely high defense. Compared to demon beasts of the same level, the winged dragon's defense is more than 50% higher."

"So high?"

Yang Xiao took a deep breath; he hadn't imagined the winged dragon on the Ancient Continent would have such formidable defense; it was akin to his own Beast Soul Godzilla.

Yang Xiao's Godzilla Beast Soul can activate the 'Enhancement' Soul Skill, boosting attribute values by 50% and also providing armor defense.

Originally, he thought his Beast Soul defense was the strongest, but he didn't expect the winged dragon here to be equally powerful.

"Additionally, winged dragons are divided into Fire Dragons and Ice Dragons. The winged dragon defending the Hengguang's Wentian City belongs to the Frost Winged Dragon type, and its Frost Element attack is immensely powerful. Once enraged, the area within dozens of kilometers turns into an icy world, with the core area extremely cold. Emperor Level beasts can be frozen to death instantly.

This Frost Element Divine Skill inadvertently constructs a defensive barrier for the winged dragon. Even Emperor Level Primary opponents can't approach without dying,

those at Emperor Level Intermediate and Advanced Realm who can rush in for battle must simultaneously resist extreme cold attacks, drastically reducing combat power and naturally being at a disadvantage during battle.

The recently defeated Flying Lion failed against the winged dragon precisely because the winged dragon transformed dozens of kilometers into extreme cold territory, severely impacting the Flying Lion's combat power, leading to its defeat."

Yang Xiao understood; that was the winged dragon's Beast Soul Domain.

Yang Xiao's Beast Soul Godzilla's domain can reach about thirty kilometers, but having just broken through the Emperor Level Advanced Realm, he naturally was weaker compared to the winged dragon nearing Saint Level Supreme.

Yang Xiao sighed and said:

"It seems this winged dragon is indeed formidable; its Beast Soul Domain alone is impervious to ordinary opponents."

"That's right, so I hope you will be cautious and not impulsive. Each year, many from Shendu College venture into the Ancient Continent, and some aim to sneak into Hengguang Empire's capital for treasure, only to die inside."

Yang Xiao laughed:

"The treasures of Hengguang Empire's capital must be abundant, right?"

"Of course, Hengguang Empire was the birthplace of Dwarf Star's Genetic Evolution civilization; Wentian City was hastily destroyed, leaving numerous Divine Artifacts and treasures behind, innumerable.

I heard there are many intact shops within the empire ruins, filled with various high-level magic equipment weapons."

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and decided to visit personally.

"Sky Wolf King, are you familiar with the capital city ruins?"

"I've never entered Hengguang Empire's capital ruins; once I was about ten kilometers away and took a glance from afar."

"Then you should be familiar with the route?"

"Naturally."

"Could you lead me to Hengguang Empire's capital? I want to see the situation for myself."

Seeing he couldn't dissuade Yang Xiao, the Sky Wolf King nodded and said:

"Very well, it's getting late today; let's go tomorrow."

Yang Xiao and the Sky Wolf King left the Spider Cave and returned to Duanmai Mountain.

Without a word that night, the next morning, Yang Xiao and the Sky Wolf King had breakfast, packed up, and set off for the capital ruins.

The Hengguang Empire capital ruins were approximately five thousand kilometers from Duanmai Mountain.

Both Yang Xiao and the Sky Wolf King were at Emperor Level Advanced Realm, so the distance was trivial, and the Sky Wolf King led Yang Xiao forward, skirting several powerful demon beast territories.

After about half an hour, the Sky Wolf King slowed down and said to Yang Xiao:

"Benefactor, we're about a hundred kilometers from Hengguang Empire capital ruins, so let's lower altitude and fly close to the ground, slow down a bit,

and one thing to note: if unfortunately attacked by the winged dragon, escape immediately, don't linger. Understand?"

"Alright, I got it."

Yang Xiao lowered altitude and flew close to the ground.

After about fifty kilometers, the temperature suddenly dropped significantly.

"Sky Wolf King, why has it suddenly gotten colder here?"

"This winged dragon is a Mystic Ice Winged Dragon; even without using Ice Element Technique, the area within dozens of kilometers remains cold.

This guy uses Ice Element Technique twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening, each time for half an hour, making the entire capital ruins area frigid, inside covered in snow and ice."

"Now I understand!"

About ten kilometers from Hengguang Empire's capital ruins, Yang Xiao could already see the blurred city buildings in the distance.

From afar, it was majestic and grand.

The Sky Wolf King stopped and said:

"Yang Xiao, just ahead are Hengguang Empire's capital ruins; we can't go further, going beyond here enters the winged dragon's defense range, very dangerous."

Yang Xiao stopped, standing on a large tree and looking ahead, finding the environment indeed white and shimmering with silver light.

Estimating roughly, with the capital ruins as the center, the area within fifty kilometers was a world of snow and ice.

Yang Xiao still had to advance about ten kilometers to enter the icy world.

Yang Xiao understood that stepping onto the icy ground meant entering the winged dragon's defense territory, and he would be noticed immediately.
