Ashton was now certain that Cyril was a member of the Drake family. He was absolutely certain he hadn’t misperceived the Drakeborne Essence.

He calmed himself and sent his spiritual-consciousness completely into the spatial ring. He suddenly felt a powerful sensation of emptiness and boundlessness wash over him, felting his very soul.

“It’s actually a subspace spatial ring!” Ashton’s eyes flickered with black flame,

He knew that a subspace spatial ring was a peerless treasure in this day and age. Even those in the otherworldly realm might not own such a spatial artifact.

He also found out that the dimensions within this ring were immense, with boundaries that were invisible to the naked eye.

Ashton’s mind raced as he detected a reservoir of refined spiritual energy within the ring’s dimensions. He could feel the energy pouring steadily into his body, channeled through his spiritual consciousness.

“Is this spiritual energy from Dad?”

Ashton shifted his spiritual consciousness and was stunned to find that the spiritual energy inside the silver spatial ring was immense and inexhaustible. He also found that it resonated perfectly with his own spiritual energy, as if it had been refined specifically for his use.

“Is this the breakthrough opportunity Dad left for me?”

Ashton was delighted, realizing that, with this reservoir of spiritual energy and his Cosmic Breathing Technique, he could absorb enough energy to fuel his breakthrough.

He knew this was the perfect solution to his main struggle, since gathering spiritual energy naturally from the world was a painstakingly slow process.

“Is this just the first level of the spatial ring? Are there actually more levels above it?” Ashton was stunned, thinking that this spatial ring was simply too impressive. “It turns out there are actually nine levels, huh? It seems like each one offers a different chance for growth.”

Ashton’s heart raced as he directed his spiritual consciousness toward the second level. He was immediately met with resistance as a sharp clang sounded. He still couldn’t breach the second level, no matter how hard he tried.

“It seems like I won’t be able to access the second level until I reach the otherworldly realm,” Ashton thought to himself, his eyes narrowing.

He could instinctively tell that this spatial ring was far from ordinary.

He looked up and saw a massive black dragon hovering above the first level, its eyes staring down at him as if he were an intruder.

It released a colossal, frightening pressure, causing Ashton to shudder.

“It’s actually the Draconic Ring…” Lord Ashdrake’s voice suddenly drifted out, seemingly recalling long-ago events.

He then broke into boisterous laughter from deep within Ashton’s soul. “It seems like fate has come full circle. After all this time, the Draconic Ring is back in our hands!”

Lord Ashdrake’s voice was chillingly cold, sounding like a spiteful curse. “You ought to know that the wheels of fate have started to spin, Ashton. Do you think someone as frail as you could endure the burden of such a fate?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Ashton’s spiritual sense stirred.

“You’ll understand it all when you reach the third level of the Draconic Ring. You haven’t earned the right to glimpse into fate for now!” Lord Ashdrake’s eerie voice was full of temptation and threat. “You’d better remember our agreement you still have

four chances to trade your soul!”

Ashton thought that people who spoke in riddles all deserved to die.

He furrowed his brow, knowing that further questioning would yield nothing from the Lord Ashdrake hiding within his soul. He also thought that the entity’s word couldn’t be trusted.

They were mortal enemies, and only one of them would make it out alive either Ashton would consume him, or Lord Ashdrake would seize control of his body.
