——————————

As the national fortune within the Celestial Destiny Stone was activated by the Netherworld Dragon Robe, a fierce dragon roar resounded in everyone’s ears.

Gu Xi could even hear the sound of ocean waves within the dragon’s roar.

Before Gu Xi could see what was happening, a salty sea scent hit him in the face.

Gu Xi’s actions also drew the attention of Anna and the others.

When Gu Xi pushed away those wood fragments, the leaders of the major forces knew what it was.

After all, they were forces of Britain, and they more or less had some British nobility titles.

When the King of Britain ascended the throne, they had the right to observe.

They certainly understood what that stone represented.

Now that Gu Xi was about to take action on the Celestial Destiny Stone, they rushed up to try to stop him.

But it was already too late.

As soon as the ability of the Dragon Burial Vein was activated, the Celestial Destiny Stone exploded on the spot, and an ethereal dragon shadow flew into the sky.

As the dragon shadow flew out from the Celestial Destiny Stone, its level kept rising.

When it first started to soar, the dragon shadow was only Level 7, but a turn later, its level surpassed Level 10, and it continued to rise.

However, at this moment, the Netherworld Dragon Robe Carrier suddenly retreated in front of Gu Xi, opening the Netherworld Dragon Robe to shield Gu Xi behind him.

Then there was a loud bang.

A thunderclap from the sky struck the dragon shadow, which was about to surpass Level 20, hitting it to the ground, causing it to roll several times.

Only now did Gu Xi see the condition of the dragon shadow in front of him.

The dragon in front of him had completely taken the form of a Ghost Dragon, though its color was not the usual Ghost Dragon color, but a peculiar shade of red.

On the Ghost Dragon, there were also traces left by lion-like bones.

Clearly, this Ghost Dragon had taken on the national fortune of Britain.

[Ghost Dragon (Level 10, Summoned Creatures): Experience (0/5500), Attack 20, Defense 18, Life 150, Skills: Undead Creatures, Flying Creatures, Powerful Dragon Breath (Dragon Breath Attack can ignore enemy defense), Aging Curse.]

[Note: This Ghost Dragon originally had the strength to reach Level 20 or even above Level 25, but due to certain restrictions, its level is now suppressed to Level 10.]

Seeing the information on the Ghost Dragon, Gu Xi understood what the earlier lightning strike was about.

He also guessed why it was said that this Ghost Dragon might be able to reach Level 25 or above.

This Celestial Destiny Stone was originally proof of the King of Britain’s ascension, gathering Britain’s national fortune dragon qi, and because of this, it was activated using the Dragon Burial Vein by the Netherworld Dragon Robe.

However, for this very reason, in the instance, the Ghost Dragon, which could have reached Level 25, had its level directly reduced.

Additionally, given that the instance’s level cap is Level 10, its original level was further suppressed, resulting in the current Situation.

But for Gu Xi, none of this mattered.

Once out of the instance, the Ghost Dragon’s level could rise again.

At the very least, this Ghost Dragon in front of him would not charge at Level 20; once it gained enough experience, it could directly reach Level 20.

Unlike the other two subordinates under Gu Xi, who were Level 19, they needed to complete a Legendary Quest before stepping into Level 20 after maxing out their experience.

The difference here is significant.

This Ghost Dragon could be the first soldier under Gu Xi to reach Level 20 on its own.

This possibility made Gu Xi regard the Ghost Dragon with a bit more esteem.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t even pay attention to this Level 10 creature.

Keep in mind that under Gu Xi’s command, there was a group of Hellhounds above Level 20.

As Gu Xi was ready to let the Ghost Dragon get up, Anna came over with the Grand Knight to Gu Xi.

"Baron Gu, can this Ghost Dragon be left to me?"

Gu Xi turned to look at Anna and decisively shook his head.

"No, it can’t."

"Baron Gu, I just saw your Ghost Dragon transformed from the Celestial Destiny Stone. Although I don’t know how you did it, the Celestial Destiny Stone belongs to Britain."

Anna’s words made Gu Xi chuckle in anger.

The guilt that Eldest Princess Anna felt when she tried to frame him before was now completely gone, and Gu Xi directly pulled Anna to the pile of wood fragments.

"You should tell him that I snatched the Celestial Destiny Stone from his hands. If you don’t agree, I can revive him for you to challenge yourself."

"You!"

Anna was somewhat displeased by Gu Xi’s words.

But he said no more since the strength Gu Xi displayed now was beyond this instance’s level.

Not to mention the numerous Ghost Dragons flying in the sky, whose levels had already exceeded the Level 10 cap.

If it weren’t for Gu Xi releasing them from the City Gate, they might have been rejected by the instance upon entry.

Because of this, and because Gu Xi had already killed two bosses, Anna did not wish to have any conflict with Gu Xi.

Given what Gu Xi had displayed, he already had the power to flatten the entire instance.

If Anna pushed Gu Xi too hard, a single turn could wipe them all out.

After glaring at Gu Xi, Anna said nothing more.

Influenced by Anna, the leaders of the various British forces also quickly changed their stance towards Gu Xi.

Although they did not clash with Gu Xi’s forces, they no longer dared to approach Gu Xi’s forces too closely as they did before.

Gu Xi did not care about this situation.

He knew his current strength well; if it weren’t for the task of accepting some quests, he could have cleared out these troublesome forces long ago.

There was no need to keep them around.

So, Gu Xi snorted heavily at them and moved the Steel City Gate from the previous square position.

With the suppression of the Steel City Gate, Gu Xi then proceeded to Ariel, the Celestial Destiny Tree-man he had slain.

Ariel’s Celestial Destiny Stone had been converted into a Ghost Dragon by Gu Xi, but the other parts remained, and Gu Xi needed to handle this, as looting the corpse was something not to be missed.

These were all won by Gu Xi, and he didn’t want to leave them behind.

So Gu Xi reached out to the pile of wood, and then a voice sounded in his ear.
