The Nine Nether Black Flood Dragon was indeed at the Golden Elixir Fifth Stage, its spiritual power overwhelming Mu Xiaochuan and the others.

Especially its thick tail, like a deadly whip, forcing them to dodge in a flurry with each sweep! Its sharp claws, each strike carrying a terrifying force that seemed to tear through space! What troubled the two even more was the black venom spewed from the dragon's mouth, which not only corroded spiritual power and tainted their artifacts but also carried a nauseating stench that made them want to vomit!

"Ugh!"

Ji Ruxue, caught off guard, was struck on the shoulder by one of the dragon's claws, letting out a painful groan as she was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, blood spurting from her mouth!
