Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

From the gloomy undergrowth, two gleaming green lights shot out, carrying a hint of cruelty and cunning. It was a Black Death Wolf with Green Patterns, a Demon Beast at the First Level of Destruction Realm. Its body was a full twenty feet long, making it one of the apex predators in this forest.

Green patterns flowed across the body of the Black Death Wolf with Green Patterns, and it moved as fast as the wind. If an ordinary Martial Artist at the First Level of Destruction Realm failed to react in time, the wolf would rip their heart out.

Sensing Wen Qingye’s gradual approach, the eyes of the Black Death Wolf with Green Patterns grew even fiercer as they peered through the dense foliage.

It was waiting. Every time, it waited. Without exception, it would always kill its target with a single, fatal blow.

Sure enough, a moment later, a figure in white slowly walked over.

’His aura isn’t as strong as mine. He’ll die in one strike!’ The Black Death Wolf with Green Patterns had just begun to develop its Lingzhi, and its instinctual perception of danger, a trait of all Demon Beasts, was extremely keen. It could clearly sense the aura Wen Qingye was emitting.

Having sensed no danger, the Black Death Wolf with Green Patterns made up its mind.

WHOOSH!

With a sudden burst, the Black Death Wolf with Green Patterns transformed into a streak of green light, kicking up a fierce gale as it vanished from its spot. In the next moment, it was right in front of Wen Qingye.

HUM!

But at that very moment, Wen Qingye’s right arm moved. A clear, crisp sword hum rang out in all directions as a wave of Qi seemed to leap from the blade, pressing down with the weight of a mountain.

The sword was astonishingly fast, as if Wen Qingye had been ready for this all along. The Black Death Wolf with Green Patterns could only watch helplessly as the blade, wreathed in a towering wave of Qi, slashed toward it.

THUD!

With a violent crash, the Black Death Wolf with Green Patterns’ body plummeted, smashing into the earth and carving out a huge crater. The beast convulsed on the ground, blood seeping from its mouth. Its body was already misshapen, and a moment later, it was dead.

A single sword strike! A Demon Beast at the First Level of Destruction Realm, slain.

The Ice Python suddenly shot out from Wen Qingye’s fingertip. It extended its head to look at the giant crater and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, "Such powerful force! It was turned into a pile of pulped meat. A pity, though. I don’t eat this kind of mush."

Wen Qingye sheathed his sword and smiled. "This is the Rock Law. A single strike feels like it carries immense weight, and its power is incredible. As my cultivation improves, my comprehension of the Rock Law will grow even stronger. Every bone in this Black Death Wolf with Green Patterns’ body is shattered right now. If I had integrated other Laws into the attack, its power would have been even greater."

If anyone had been present, they would have been utterly astonished. Such a Sword Dao Law was truly world-shocking. The Slaying Immortal Sword Dao lived up to its name as one of the top one hundred Laws; anyone who could achieve the Dao through it would become a renowned figure even in the Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, in such a short time, Wen Qingye had already grasped the basics and was able to display such extraordinary power. What incredible heights would he reach in the future?

Just then, Wen Qingye suddenly felt the aura inside his body begin to surge wildly, growing unstable. His two Yin Yang Qi Seas started to tremble violently once more.

BOOM!

Without warning, the two Qi Seas collided. It felt like an earth-shattering tremor was rocking Wen Qingye’s body, the force so powerful that he felt like he was suffocating.

Then, like erupting magma, both Qi Seas simultaneously pulsed with a frenzied energy that surged throughout Wen Qingye’s body, cleansing every inch of his being.

Time flowed on.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. The Ice Python remained coiled nearby, its massive eyes fixed on Wen Qingye, yet it remained keenly aware of every change in its surroundings.

Meanwhile, inside Wen Qingye’s body, the violent collision of his two Qi Seas had produced an extremely chaotic and unstable aura. Even his Primordial Qi felt somewhat rampaging.

Destruction Realm!

The process of the two Qi Seas gradually converging is the breakthrough to the Destruction Realm.

Wen Qingye slowly opened his eyes, a throbbing pain in his head making him feel as if his skull was about to split apart.

"Did you break through?" the Ice Python asked, looking at Wen Qingye.

Wen Qingye nodded, his gaze falling upon a massive boulder ahead. The stone was immense, a full fifty feet long and thirty feet high, and it exuded a feeling of extreme weight and solidity.

SHING!

The One Thought Sword left its sheath. Wen Qingye leaped into the air and mercilessly brought the blade down. It looked like a simple, unadorned strike landing heavily upon the boulder.

There was no sound, no movement. The boulder showed no change whatsoever. Everything was perfectly still.

Then, Wen Qingye drifted down and landed on the Ice Python’s back. He shook his head. "Fusing Laws is simply too difficult. I still can’t manage to merge the Vibration Law and the Rock Law of the Slaying Immortal Sword Dao."

The Ice Python stared at the boulder in shock. "You’re already incredible. I believe that strike is enough to kill an ordinary Demon Beast at the Second Heaven of the Destruction Realm."

Wen Qingye laughed. "The Vibration Law is what I’ve made the most progress on recently, so of course its power is impressive. If I were to apply this Law to the Sword Emperor Technique, the power would be even more astonishing. Alright, let’s get out of here."

The Ice Python nodded and then sped forward.

A short while after the Ice Python disappeared, the massive boulder suddenly gave a low RUMBLE and collapsed, turning into piles of sparkling, crystalline sand that slowly settled on the ground.

This was the power of the Vibration Law—it inflicted damage internally. If this sword strike had landed on the Black Death Wolf with Green Patterns, the beast would have appeared unharmed on the surface, but its internal organs would have been completely shattered.

This technique was perfect for bypassing an enemy’s Primordial Qi Protection, making it impossible to defend against. If the Killing Lifeless Principle were added, a single strike would be truly unfathomable, its power beyond the ken of gods and ghosts.

However, this would require Wen Qingye to gain an extremely thorough comprehension of both the Slaying Immortal Sword Dao and the Lifeless Sword Dao, and to continuously work on fusing their respective Laws. This... was incredibly difficult.

........

Three more days passed. Wen Qingye seemed to have reached the outskirts of the forest, as the figures of other people gradually began to appear. For the sake of convenience, the Ice Python shrank down again and coiled itself around Wen Qingye’s finger.

Wen Qingye sat cross-legged beside a tree, his Heart Spirit sinking inward. He focused on the golden, shimmering Great Wilderness Ancient Stele within his Sea of Consciousness, a growing curiosity compelling him to slowly perceive its unique essence.

Looking at the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele in his Sea of Consciousness, Wen Qingye slowly thought, ’Is there something else inside this Great Wilderness Ancient Stele? Why do I get the feeling that something is hidden within, just waiting to break out?’

The Great Wilderness Ancient Stele was crafted from a special material known as Desolate Stone, and one of the uses for Desolate Stone was to seal away treasures.

At this thought, curiosity stirred in Wen Qingye’s heart. ’Is there really a treasure inside the Great Wilderness Ancient Stele? If so, what could it be?’
