As the dragon roar behind Wang Yan soared into the sky, everyone felt their heart spirit tremble with a jolt. They even had an urge that bowing down in worship was the only way to express the deep reverence in their hearts for this dragon roar.

The Golden Crowned Vampire Bat darting halfway through couldn't help but stop, for it too felt a deep fear emanating from the depths of its heart.

"Impossible! How can I feel fear? I am a member of the Dark Legion! Fear shouldn't exist in my heart!"

Although the Golden Crowned Vampire Bat kept muttering to itself, its body couldn't stop trembling, slowly retreating.

Upon hearing this dragon roar, Shangguan Moyao was instantly dumbstruck and hurriedly asked, "What's happening here?"

However, Hu Wei and the other three didn't have a single response for her.

Shangguan Moyao asked again, "What's going on? What is this dragon roar?"

Yet, there was still no answer.

Shangguan Moyao hurriedly turned to look at Hu Wei and the others, but only upon turning did she discover that Hu Wei, Ma Jun, and Qin Tian, also had their mouths wide open and eyes wide with amazement.

Upon hearing Shangguan Moyao's inquiry, Hu Wei swallowed and said, "You ask me? Who do I ask?"

As the dragon roar grew louder, golden light erupted behind Wang Yan, instantly illuminating the entire space.

Everyone quickly raised their hands to shield their eyes, peering through their fingers at Wang Yan's body. But the golden light was too glaring, leaving them seeing nothing but a field of gold.

The Golden Crowned Vampire Bat saw everything before its eyes clearly and couldn't help but widen its eyes. Its pupils were filled with infinite fear, and it dared not hesitate for a moment longer, turning sharply to flee into the darkness.

Then, Wang Yan's laughter echoed from within the golden light, "Don't leave. After breaking through, I still need two Soul Stars."

With these words, the golden light surged toward the Golden Crowned Vampire Bat.

Suddenly, a shriek from the Golden Crowned Vampire Bat pierced through the golden light, followed by complete silence.

Moments later, the golden light dissipated, allowing Shangguan Moyao and the others finally to see what lay ahead.

The four quickly blinked away the residual glare, lifting their heads to look forward.

At this moment, Wang Yan stood on the ground, raising his palm with a tiny green Golden Crowned Vampire Bat caught in it.

"Green Demon Soul!!" Shangguan Moyao and the others immediately widened their eyes. This dazzling green was the exclusive color of a King Tier Demon Soul.

Wang Yan moved his hand, and a burst of Power of Demon Patterns sealed the King Tier Demon Soul, transforming it into a transparent amber.

However, Wang Yan didn't seem entirely satisfied, muttering to himself, "Just one? I actually need two."

After finishing, Wang Yan suddenly looked up and saw another Golden Crowned Vampire Bat lying in the corner.

This Golden Crowned Vampire Bat was the first battered by Wang Yan's attack, lying grievously injured, hoping to watch its companion avenge it.

Little did it know that by the end, it would witness this scene.

Therefore, this Golden Crowned Vampire Bat was so terrified that its entire body trembled. Already half-dead, this fright left it completely on the brink.

Wang Yan walked several steps to the Golden Crowned Vampire Bat, raised his hand to strike it, saying, "Now with this one, it's finally enough."

As his palm descended, the Golden Crowned Vampire Bat couldn't even dodge, nor did it dare to entertain the thought. It simply watched Wang Yan's hand fall.

With a single strike, Wang Yan killed the second Golden Crowned Vampire Bat, immediately possessing two King Tier Demon Souls.

A joyous expression appeared on Wang Yan's face, as these two Demon Souls were destined for his Dragon Pattern.

Now the Dragon Pattern had reached the King Tier level, but the Soul Stars were inexplicably vacant. This time, everything was settled.

Thinking of the Dragon Pattern's two Soul Stars being green King Tier Soul Stars, Wang Yan felt slightly excited.

The higher the Soul Star level, the stronger the Soul Skill's power. However, generally, individuals absorb Soul Stars that do not exceed their cultivation level.

For instance, upon breaking through the Master Tier, the optimal Soul Star attracted would merely be a Master Tier Demon Soul.

Because nobody dares absorb a higher tier King Tier Demon Soul, fearing they would be devoured to death by a higher-tier Demon Soul.

But Wang Yan was different. His two combined Demon Souls inherently made his cultivation stronger than typical Demon Cultivators. Furthermore, the Dragon Pattern was an Ancient Demon Pattern, completely ignoring the pressure of a higher tier.

Moreover, the two Golden Crowned Vampire Bats were killed by Wang Yan himself, naturally fearing him immensely. Hence, even if Wang Yan could absorb two Emperor Tier Demon Beasts, it was normal.

It seems throughout history, no one before Wang Yan has had both first and second Soul Stars as green King Tier ones.

Raising his hand, Wang Yan retrieved the two Demon Souls, then lifted his head, gazing into the depths of darkness.

"Dark Legion, bottomless black hole, there must be an unspeakable secret within! I will surely uncover it."

Wang Yan thought silently, but at this moment, his cultivation was insufficient. Killing the two Golden Crowned Vampire Bats was a near-death experience, and advancing further would undoubtedly encounter stronger Demon Beasts.

Therefore, Wang Yan stopped looking into the depths of the black hole and turned around, heading towards Qin Tian and the others, saying, "Let's go."

Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, Qin Tian and the others, who hadn't yet recovered from their astonishment, promptly and obediently followed behind Wang Yan, heading out.

Before entering the cave earlier, Shangguan Moyao had insisted Wang Yan accompany her throughout, but now she docilely followed Wang Yan like a little cat, offering no objections.

The five gradually walked farther and farther.

Wang Yan didn't know, shortly after he departed, three figures slowly flew out from the darkness of the deep cave.

These three figures were incredibly tall, yet their entire bodies were shrouded in black mist, their appearances completely indistinguishable.

The three figures arrived at the battleground, stopping.

One figure surveyed the surroundings briefly, returning to the center shadow and said, "Reporting to the Dark Celestial Venerable, all guards in this cave are dead. The perpetrator should be humans from above ground."

The central shadow hadn't spoken yet, but a figure beside him said displeasedly, "Someone dared to kill my Dark Legion members? Although a mere low-level squad was slaughtered, this is a desecration of my Dark Legion. Venerable, the criminal hasn't gone far, I will kill them now."
