The burst of light from the dimensional seal faded, leaving cracks in the sky that released **dark spores**. Each spore that touched the ground sprouted a new crystal flower, and within it, the shadow of a small Ancient Dragon began to form.
Luo Yan and Li Feng ran to avoid the rain of spores, their swords trying to cut through the rapidly growing crystal flowers. But there were too many of them.
"We have to find the source!" Li Feng shouted, pointing toward **Dark Mountain**, where the Ancient Dragon Worshippers' headquarters were located.
Luo Yan nodded, clutching the crystal pendant that was pulsating more and more vigorously. "Xiao Lin... give us a hint."
Suddenly, Xiao Lin's voice echoed from the pendant: *"Dark Mountain... Su Liang is there. Destroy the contaminated Yinglong, or it's all over."*

**Inside the Seal: The Final Battle**
Xiao Lin stood in the middle of the void, his body growing more and more transparent. The heavily injured Xue laughed, black blood flowing from his mouth.
"You think you won?" Xue hissed. "You're only delaying the inevitable. Su Liang will rise, and you can't stop him."
Xiao Lin stared at the Jiuyinlong in his hand, which was now cracked and nearly destroyed. "I may not be able to stop him... but I can make sure you never get out."
With the last of his strength, he crushed the Jiuyinlong. A burst of energy filled the seal, burying Xue in white light.
But before the seal could completely close, a **black hand** reached out, grabbing some of Xiao Lin's energy.
"We're not done yet..." Xue whispered, her voice lost in the darkness.

**Dark Mountain: Su Liang's Resurrection**
Luo Yan and Li Feng arrived at the peak of Dark Mountain, where the **contaminated Yinglong** was stuck to a stone altar. Around him, Ancient Dragon Worshippers chanted ancient chants, calling out to Su Liang's soul.
"We must destroy that sword!" Li Feng shouted.
But before they could move, **Su Liang's shadow** emerged from Yinglong. His body was half dragon, half human, and his eyes were pitch black.
"Welcome, descendants of the Forbidden Blood," Su Liang said, his voice echoing like thunder. "You have come just in time to witness my complete resurrection."
Luo Yan held the crystal pendant. "We will not let you destroy this world!"
Su Liang laughed. "This world is already destroyed. All that remains is... beautiful destruction."
With a swift movement, he yanked Yinglong from the altar. Black energy gushed out, destroying part of the mountain.

Luo Yan and Li Feng fell, badly injured. In front of them, Su Liang floated, Yinglong in his hand blazing with dark power.
"You cannot stop me," he whispered. "But I will let you live... to witness the end of everything."
In the sky, dark spores gathered, forming a new, larger and more terrifying **Primordial Dragon**.
Luo Yan stared at the crystal pendant, which was now cracked. "Xiao Lin... we need you."
From within the cracks, purple light burst out. Xiao Lin's voice echoed: *"I am coming..."*
