A phantom appeared before the Witch, a middle-aged man wearing a Golden Crown, cloaked in Dragon God Armor. His eyes seemed to carry endless cycles of reincarnation, making one unable to avoid getting immersed in them.

"Guardian of the Abyss Realm, is your proposal an insult to our Dragon Clan?" the middle-aged man snapped coldly, "Even if our Dragon Clan declines, we would never seek refuge in another plane just to eke out an existence!"

"When your race's legacy is on the brink of extinction, where does such arrogance come from?" the Witch remarked calmly, seeing the middle-aged man. "Since you know I am the Guardian of the Abyss Realm, you must also realize that I am well aware of your Dragon Clan's current plight. Cooperate with my Abyss Realm; hand over the Dragon Clan's Treasure, and I promise ten thousand years of prosperity for your Dragon Clan!"

The middle-aged man fell silent, staring intently at the Witch: "Your promise is laughable! Do you think I would agree to it?"

The Witch spoke calmly: "Whether or not you agree depends on your identity! If you are indeed the Artifact Spirit of the Dragon Clan's Treasure, you should know that your Dragon Clan is now at a life-and-death juncture. Besides our Abyss Realm, do you have any other options?"

"The Star Core Power of the Dragon Domain is continuously weakening. Unless your Dragon God returns or a new Immortal Realm Guardian emerges, when the Star Core Power of your Dragon Domain completely fades, your Dragon Clan will become a wandering race in the grand world!"

"This world is cruel; for wandering races, there's no second path beyond slaughter!" the Witch said coldly, "I'm offering you a second path now. How about cooperating with us, the Abyss Realm?"

The middle-aged man laughed: "I didn't expect you to know so much about my Dragon Domain. True, we are facing difficulties now, but do you think this little trouble would make us sell the Dragon Clan's Treasure? Do you think billions of our Dragon Clan would agree?"

"Moreover, we have other paths to take! The Path of Immortality is about to reappear. If someone from our Dragon Clan can traverse it, they will be bestowed with the Star Core Power of the grand world. At that point, our Dragon Domain can also overcome the crisis!" the middle-aged man remarked calmly.

The Witch snickered: "The Path of Immortality? Do you really think it's that easy to pass? Then you are underestimating the Path of Immortality too much! Over countless years, how many extraordinarily talented individuals have set foot on the Path of Immortality with courage and determination, and what happened? Besides a few, who truly became Immortal Realm?"

The Witch's eyes shimmered with endless desolation: "I have crossed the Path of Immortality, so I know how difficult it is. Even now, I am not confident I can cross it again!"

The middle-aged man was silent. He knew the Witch was right; the Path of Immortality is a holy land in the hearts of countless unparalleled experts! But how many can truly pass through it?

"But... even if the Path of Immortality doesn't work, we can go to the Ancient Ruins!" the middle-aged man said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, this is what you are planning too?"

"I didn't expect you to know the news of the Ancient Ruins' emergence even in the Valley of Dragon Tomb. Truly impressive!" the Witch's voice held a hint of surprise, "Yes, I admit the Ancient Ruins is indeed a chance. However, entry is limited, do you really think we'll let the Dragon Clan have a share?"

"Today's Dragon Clan is no longer the thriving Dragon Clan of hundreds of thousands of years ago!" the Witch declared proudly, "I can tell you clearly, without an Immortal Realm stationed at a plane, it's impossible to get an entry to the Ancient Ruins!"

The middle-aged man's face darkened: "Are you planning to monopolize the Ancient Ruins?"

"Monopolize? It's just survival of the fittest!" the Witch sneered, "For those races that have been phased out by time yet refuse to retreat, all we can do is help them exit quickly! Unfortunately, this includes your Dragon Clan!"

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes: "What a proposal to help us exit? Then we'll see whether your Abyss Realm has the capability! Guardian of the Abyss Realm, our Dragon Clan will never hand over the Dragon Clan's Treasure, and... our Dragon Clan will surely rise again. Keep your eyes wide open and watch!"

The Witch shook her head in slight disappointment: "I thought the guardian here was a smart person, but I didn't expect another relic of the past. What a waste of my words; do you really want me to take it personally? If so, I won't fulfill my promises to your Dragon Clan."

"Oh, really?" the middle-aged man smiled: "Then I'll wait and see. Oh, I forgot to tell you, we also have a Guardian. If you want to obtain our Dragon Clan's Treasure, you'll need to defeat our guardian first!"

"Guardian?" the Witch said with some amusement, "It seems you have great confidence in your Guardian, I'd like to see that!"

The middle-aged man nodded: "Indeed, I didn't expect him to reach this point. From now on, I am quite confident in him. Though you are of the Immortal Realm, in my Valley of Dragon Tomb, your Immortal Realm ability won't be fully unleashed."

"Even if suppressed to Mid Sky Realm, do you think you can resist?" the Witch laughed, "I wonder where your guardian is? Come out and let me witness!"

"You will see!" the middle-aged man chuckled, "But before that, you should first break through my Endless Life Formation!"

With that, the middle-aged man shimmered and disappeared. The surroundings changed, replaced by a giant Arena, with the Witch standing at its center, facing a giant beast.

"This little trick, can it really stop me?" the Witch sighed, "Since you want to play, I shall play with you!"

Before the words finished, the giant beast roared and charged at the Witch.

The Witch's expression changed, coldly saying: "Begone!"

A surge of the King's aura erupted, and the charging beast wore a terrified expression, hurriedly stopping its advance, then crouched before the Witch, shivering all over.

The Witch leapt onto the beast's head, rather bored, saying: "Wasn't it called Endless Life Formation? Bring it all on, I'm short on time, not much to play along with you!"
