Chapter 30 The Secret of the Sealed Land

Qin Feng and his partners embarked on a journey to the sealed land with the academy's expectations. They knew that this mission was not only related to the fate of the academy, but also to the future of the entire soul master world.

Along the way, they crossed vast mountains and deep canyons, facing all kinds of natural and man-made dangers. As they approached the sealed land, the surrounding environment became more and more desolate, as if all life had been sucked away.

"The atmosphere here is very unusual." Ye Li felt the oppression in the air. Her frost fox seemed unusually nervous, and it let out low hisses from time to time.

"It seems that we are getting closer and closer to our destination." Chu Tian said solemnly, and his Storm Wolves were also on guard around to guard against possible raids.

After several days of arduous journey, they finally arrived at the sealed place mentioned in the notebook. This was a mysterious valley surrounded by high mountains. In the center of the valley stood a huge stone tablet, which was engraved with ancient runes and emitted a faint spiritual fluctuation.

"This is where the Demon Dragon's Heart is sealed." Ye Li looked at the stone tablet, her heart filled with awe and nervousness.

When approaching the stone tablet, Qin Feng felt a strong spiritual power fluctuation. This fluctuation was different from any power he had felt before. It carried a strong pressure and exuded an ancient and mysterious aura.

"This stone tablet seems to be suppressing some kind of power. We have to be careful." Zhang Meng said in a low voice. His giant rock bear also felt the power and appeared to be extremely cautious.

Ye Li began to carefully study the runes on the stone tablet, and she found that these runes were not ordinary seals, but the "Dragon Soul Seal" in ancient legends. This seal was used to suppress the most powerful dragon creatures. It could not only seal the power, but also trap their souls in it, making them unable to reincarnate forever.

"It's not just the heart of the dragon that is sealed here, it's also the soul of the shadow dragon." Ye Li's voice trembled a little, "If we break the seal, it could lead to unpredictable consequences."

Qin Feng took a deep breath. He knew that this operation was extremely risky, but they had no choice. In order to stop the Dark Cult, they had to find and protect the Heart of the Dragon.

Behind the stone tablet, Qin Feng discovered a secret passage leading underground. This passage was protected by an ancient mechanism, but under Ye Li's guidance, they successfully cracked the mechanism and entered the depths of the passage.

The passage was winding and the walls were engraved with all kinds of strange patterns, which seemed to record the whole process of the Shadow Dragon being sealed. As they went deeper, the oppressive feeling in the air became stronger and stronger, and every step became extremely heavy.

"The spiritual energy fluctuations here are getting stronger and stronger, and the Heart of the Demon Dragon is just ahead." Ye Li's voice was filled with tension and anticipation.

Finally, they came to the end of the passage, where there was a huge underground altar. In the center of the altar floated a crystal stone that was gleaming with dark light. The power emitted by this crystal stone was extremely strong, as if it could swallow up everything around it.

"This is the heart of the demon dragon." Qin Feng stared at the crystal stone and felt an extremely strong pressure.

However, when they tried to approach the Heart of the Dragon, dark barriers suddenly appeared around the altar. These barriers were highly corrosive and blocked their progress.

"These barriers seem to be used to protect the heart of the dragon. We have to find a way to break them." Chu Tian observed for a while and put forward his own opinion.

Ye Li studied these barriers carefully and found that they were closely related to the runes on the stone tablet. "These barriers have a similar structure to the sealing technique. We may be able to weaken them by destroying part of the power of the seal."

Under Ye Li's guidance, Qin Feng and his companions began to try to break the barrier. They used various soul skills and spiritual power to gradually weaken the power of the barrier. However, this process was extremely difficult. Every time they destroyed a part of the barrier, the heart of the dragon on the altar would release a stronger counterattack force.

"We must speed up, otherwise we will be swallowed up by the counterattack force." Qin Feng said anxiously. He felt that his spiritual power was being consumed faster and faster.

Despite the difficulties, with Ye Li's constant adjustments, they finally succeeded in weakening most of the barrier's power. With the collapse of the last barrier, the Demon Dragon Heart on the altar no longer radiated that strong pressure, and seemed to have become much calmer.

"We succeeded." Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief and a tired smile appeared on his face.

However, just as they were about to take the Dragon's Heart, the altar suddenly shook violently. Then, a dark shadow rushed out from under the altar and rushed towards Qin Feng.

"There's an ambush! Be careful!" Ye Li shouted, and the Frost Fox quickly stood in front of Qin Feng.

The black shadow was not a physical entity, but was condensed from pure dark power. It quickly transformed in the air and turned into a huge shadow dragon soul, full of hatred and destruction.

"This is the soul of the Shadow Dragon, and it is sealed here!" Chu Tian shouted in shock. His Storm Wolf seemed extremely anxious in the face of such powerful force.

The shadow dragon soul had not fully awakened, but its power was still enough to threaten them. It let out a deafening roar, and the surrounding space seemed to collapse at that moment, and the entire underground altar was shaking violently.

"We have to leave here immediately, the seal is about to collapse!" Ye Li said anxiously. She could already feel the ominous force gradually increasing.

Qin Feng knew the situation was urgent, so he made a quick decision: "Ye Li, you guys take the Demon Dragon Heart and go first, I'll hold it back!"

Although everyone else was reluctant to leave Qin Feng, they also knew that they had to retreat quickly now, otherwise the entire team would be trapped here.

Ye Li and the other companions quickly took the Demon Dragon Heart and retreated along the passage they came from. Qin Feng stayed at the underground altar, facing the gradually awakening Shadow Dragon Soul alone.

The Shadow Dragon Soul obviously didn't intend to let them leave easily. Its attack came like a storm, and Qin Feng could only try his best to resist. His Dragon Shadow Sword flashed blue light in the darkness, and every swing of the sword brought the power of thunder, trying his best to fight against the dark power.

However, the power of the Shadow Dragon Soul was too strong, and Qin Feng gradually felt powerless. He knew he had to get out as soon as possible, otherwise he would never have a chance to escape.

At this moment, Ye Li and Chu Tian suddenly returned to the underground altar. They were obviously unwilling to let Qin Feng face the danger alone. Ye Li quickly released her Frost Fox and used cold air to temporarily seal the action of the Shadow Dragon Soul, while Chu Tian led the Storm Wolf to fight with all his strength, trying to buy time for Qin Feng to evacuate.

"Hurry up, we can't leave you behind!" Ye Li shouted anxiously, her eyes full of determination.

Qin Feng felt the determination of his companions and stopped insisting. He knew that only by uniting together could they survive in this dangerous forbidden land.

With everyone's full cooperation, Qin Feng finally escaped from the attack range of the Shadow Dragon Soul. They quickly retreated, escaped from the underground altar, and returned to the ground along the passage.

After returning to the ground, Qin Feng and his companions were exhausted. They knew that they had just experienced a life-and-death crisis. Although they brought back the Heart of the Demon Dragon, they were still in a heavy mood.

"Although we successfully took away the Heart of the Demon Dragon, the Shadow Dragon Soul is still there, and the seal may collapse at any time." Qin Feng said, panting, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"We must return to the academy as soon as possible, hand over the Heart of the Demon Dragon to the vice-president, and report the situation here." Ye Li suggested. She knew that time was running out and there could be no delay.

Everyone agreed to this suggestion, and they quickly packed up their equipment and prepared to embark on their return journey. Although they had just experienced a fierce battle, they had no time to rest because new dangers could come at any time.

With a heavy heart, Qin Feng and his companions set out on the return journey. They knew that the next battle would be even more difficult, but no matter what, they were ready to meet the challenge.
