The ridiculous thing was that this behemoth was actually dead, a lifeless corpse. A black spear was stuck in its head, nailing it in place!
“This is a Fire Dragon!”
“Moreover, this is a Saint Domain Fire Dragon!”
“Why did it die here?”
Meng Lei found it hard to believe. Dragons were known as the sky’s overlords and belonged to the creatures at the top of the pyramid of lifeforms in the Heaven’s Vault Continent, not to mention Saint Domain Dragons!
In the first place, could such a powerful creature even be killed?

Shock!
Confusion!
Disbelief!
Meng Lei was feeling a complex mix of emotions!
A Saint Domain Fire Dragon was already a strong and powerful existence that stood far above all other lifeforms. Creatures that could match up to it... were far and few, yet even it had been killed!
What did this bit of strength he possessed even count as?
“There are too many big fishes in Heaven’s Vault Continent! Sigh, I’d better just cultivate properly instead!”
Meng Lei readjusted his frame of mind. Then, as he gazed at the Fire Dragon carcass on the little island, an indistinct look flashed across his eyes. The value that a Saint Domain Fire Dragon’s carcass held was hard to imagine.
It was no exaggeration to say that even a single dragon scale scraped off from its body or a pile of dragon sh*t could fetch an exorbitant sum of money. After all, they were a Saint Domain dragon scale and a pile of Saint Domain dragon sh*t!
Its dragon core, in particular, was absolutely priceless and a most valuable treasure. Even a Ninth-Grade Magical Beast’s magic core could go for up to 10,000,000 gold coins, much less a Saint Domain dragon core?
“Also, it’s said that the Dragon race adores shiny and glittering things very much and loves to sleep in dens built with gold coins and jewels. As such, every dragon is a moving treasure vault.”
The moment he thought of that, Meng Lei became worked up at once. A moving treasure vault! If that was really true, then he’d be rich for sure.
“I have to go down there! I absolutely have to!”
The more Meng Lei thought about it, the more agitated he became. How he wished he could jump into the pit, walk right up to the Saint Domain Fire Dragon carcass, pluck off its dragon scales, and pick up its dragon sh*t...
Now, here was the problem—how was he supposed to get down there?
Meng Lei tossed a rock into the pit. An invisible “wall” blocked the rock, and it couldn’t drop into the pit at all. Come to think of it, the same “wall” must have also blocked the water from the pool.
“A magic barrier?”
Meng Lei’s brows drew together at once. Magic barriers were a type of defensive magic spell. They basically worked on the same principle as magic shields and possessed defensive and isolation effects.
The difference laid only in the size of their effective range.
“With this magic barrier here, how am I supposed to get down there?”
Meng Lei was rather anxious. To pass through a magic barrier, one must either get the spellcaster’s permission or break it using sheer brute force!
Apart from that, there were no other solutions!
“It’s highly likely that the Saint Domain Fire Dragon put up the magic barrier. How can I possibly break it apart when I’m so weak?”
Despite thinking so, Meng Lei still attempted to launch an attack anyway.
What if... It broke, right?
The earth in the surroundings grouped together and swiftly transformed into a ten-meters-tall earth giant. This was the Sixth-Grade Earth Spell, Swamp Giant!
Boom!
The giant drew back its fist and smashed it hard against the magic barrier. Following a deafening explosion, the magic barrier remained as intact as ever, whereas the recoil’s impact shattered the earth giant.
“As expected, the magic barrier is rock-solid, indeed!”
Meng Lei’s heart sank. Then, he launched the strongest earth-elemental spell that he could cast as of now—Giant Boulder. Earth Elements started gathering in the sky and, under Meng Lei’s deliberate manipulation, condensed into an enormous rock shaped like an electric drill.
“Giant Boulder... Land!”
Meng Lei let out a low shout. The rock boulder plummeted from the sky and instantly got past the pool water before crashing violently against the magic barrier!
Boom!
Amid the shocking collision sounds, a fearsome rebounding force erupted and spread into the surroundings. The rock boulder was smashed directly into smithereens, and along with it, the mud at the bottom of the pool splashed everywhere from the impact.
Meng Lei was also thrown out, of course.
“Ugh!”
With a tuck and roll, Meng Lei landed in the distance. A sense of helplessness welled up in him as he gazed at the magic barrier that had now revealed a large part of itself. Even the Seventh-Grade Spell Giant Boulder hadn’t been able to leave even a scratch on the magic barrier. What must he do in order to break the magic barrier?
Thunder spells?
Fire spells?
Or brute force?
“There’s water here, so all spells’ effect, be it thunder-elemental or fire-elemental, will be drastically reduced. At this point, I can only give brute force a try!”
The moment he thought of that, Meng Lei promptly transformed into a Dragon Person. He built an earthen wall around himself to block out the pool water in the surroundings. Then, he leaped high into the air and smashed his fist down.
“C’mon, break apart!!!”
Meng Lei had a body that was comparable to a Seventh-Grade
