Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

In the lake, massive waves churned, carrying a monstrous momentum as they surged toward Ling Fei.

In the distance was a giant Silver Python, its body covered in Scale Armor.

"An Innate Realm beast. Perfect!" Ling Fei's eyes lit up as he sensed the Silver Python's aura.

He simply stopped where he was, allowing the terrifying waves to sweep toward him.

At this moment, the giant waves before him surged with a sky-blotting momentum.

Within them, a current of Extreme Cold Qi raged along with the surging water.

Wherever the Cold Qi passed, the lake water visibly condensed into ice crystals.

It was a terrifying sight.

It was not hard to imagine how a Cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm could possibly contend with this Innate Realm Demon Python underwater!

They would likely be frozen solid by the time the Cold Qi reached them.

This was also why the mission was considered a High Level task.

'Even an ordinary Innate Realm Cultivator would find it hard to resist this Cold Qi.' Ling Fei could now deeply sense the level of danger.

However, before the approaching Cold Qi could even touch him, the Light Pattern on his spine flashed.

Then, a massive Qi Vortex suddenly manifested in the water.

Immediately, the Cold Qi within the giant waves transformed into a torrent, drawn in by Ling Fei's spine and absorbed into the Qi Vortex.

As the Cold Qi was devoured, Cold Chi True Qi began to form within Ling Fei's body.

As someone who also cultivated the Cold Dao and possessed a miraculous spine, Ling Fei had no fear of this level of Cold Qi.

Therefore, with the Cold Qi's freezing effect on Ling Fei weakened, the only thing left was the Innate Momentum.

The massive waves churned with an overwhelming momentum, as if they could drown everything.

'Innate Momentum is powerful, but I have also stepped into the Innate Realm.' Ling Fei's gaze sharpened, and a Long Sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

Then, holding the Long Sword, he took a great stride forward.

As he took that step, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit immersed itself within the "True Dragon Visualization Image".

"Condense my Sword Momentum, True Dragon Breaks the Heavens!"

A deep voice escaped Ling Fei's lips. With a flick of his wrist, he brought the Long Sword down in a slashing motion.

This slash carried an overwhelming Sword Momentum.

ROAR!

Sword Qi erupted from the blade, followed by the cry of a dragon.

Faintly, one could sense that the Sword Qi was like a dragon, breaking through the waves!

BANG!

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, dragon cries echoed. The Sword Qi surged to the heavens, carrying a wild and tyrannical momentum!

The giant wave, which had been pressing down with the force of a mountain, was split apart by Ling Fei's single strike!

Then, he strode forward, flashing through the gap in the sundered wave.

Before him, a giant python as thick as a water bucket and ten zhang long appeared.

However, the python's lantern-like eyes were now filled with terror.

The momentum of the dragon's cry had intimidated its Heart Spirit.

The dragon is the king of all beasts, transcendent and supreme, possessing a bloodline suppression over all other creatures.

The sound waves alone were enough to strike fear into their hearts.

"Die!" Seizing the opportunity, Ling Fei's Long Sword shot out like a rainbow, stabbing straight toward the giant python's heart meridian.

CRACK!

The sharp Sword Momentum pierced its Scale Armor and plunged straight into the Silver Python's heart meridian!

At the same time, a wave of Extreme Cold Qi spread out, encasing the Silver Python in an Ice Seal!

And just like that, an Innate Realm Silver Python was slain!

'The fusion of my True Dragon Momentum and Sword Momentum has clearly become a powerful form of Martial Arts!' Ling Fei retracted his sword, a gleam of understanding in his eyes.

Ever since his all-out attack against Qin Hui, his application of Sword Momentum and True Dragon Momentum had clearly reached a new level.

This time, he had further integrated these two Mystical principles, and his use of them had become even more deft.

Normally, the Scale Armor of an Innate Realm Demon Python was incredibly tough; an ordinary Treasure Sword couldn't scratch it.

However, Ling Fei's Sword Momentum was overwhelming, his True Qi was like a dragon, and his Power was astonishing.

Furthermore, the Demon Python had been stunned by the momentum of Ling Fei's strike, weakening its defenses and allowing him to kill it in one blow.

'This Demon Python's flesh, Scale Armor, and sinews can all be sold for a good price, or exchanged for points!' With a wave of his hand, Ling Fei pulled the giant python into his Sodium Ring. Only now did he truly appreciate the benefits of the Sodium Ring; without it, he would have had no way to collect these spoils of war.

When Ling Fei killed the giant python, the Ice Bear and Water Lion behind him were all stunned.

They were all intimidated by the power unleashed in that single strike.

When they snapped out of their shock, they saw that the Innate Realm giant python had been slain, and were utterly dumbfounded.

They all knew that the Silver Python was an Innate Realm existence.

Yet it had been killed in an instant.

Just how strong was this human?

'Gods, this human is terrifying!' Many Demon Beasts froze in place, roaring inwardly before turning to flee.

WHOOSH!

In a single instant, thousands of Demon Beasts had all retreated.

The lakeside area returned to tranquility.

'It seems these Demon Beasts know when to back off. Still, this lake is too large, and there's no telling how many Innate Realm Demon Beasts are in it. I shouldn't linger.' Although he had succeeded with a single strike, Ling Fei wasn't arrogant. Ever since his fight with Qin Hui, he had come to deeply understand the importance of caution.

Only by being cautious and prudent could one survive in this world.

Ling Fei turned, and suddenly, a thought struck him.

"True Dragon Emerges from the Sea!" Ling Fei's Heart Spirit sank into the "True Dragon Visualization Image" in his mind.

Instantly, a True Dragon emerged from the sea within the image.

In reality, his body moved, and a True Dragon Momentum gathered around him.

AWOOOO!

A dragon's roar echoed out.

The next moment, a huge wave rolled up in the lake, and a figure flashed out from within it.

Immediately, Ling Fei's body, like a True Dragon, broke through the sea's surface.

From the looks of it, he seemed to have completely merged the insights from the "True Dragon Visualization Image" with reality.

He...

...had truly become like a True Dragon!

The next moment, Ling Fei's body landed on the shore.

'This is what a True Dragon is!' As Ling Fei landed, his Heart Spirit had already branded these various insights deep into his soul.

On this trip, his understanding of the True Dragon Momentum had grown even more profound.

'This time, not only did I complete the mission, but I also stepped into the Innate Realm. This trip was definitely worthwhile.' By the lake, Ling Fei surveyed his surroundings.

'But the people from the Qin Mansion are a potential threat!'

Although he had thrown Qin Hui into the lake.

He would soon be devoured by Demon Beasts.

However, with a living person disappearing, the Qin Mansion would surely be able to figure out some clues.

It wouldn't be long before he would have to face even stronger enemies.

'I have to increase my strength as quickly as possible.' Ling Fei's gaze shifted. 'For now, I should head back to the academy to avoid any more trouble.'

Although his strength had increased.

But if a Celestial Spirit Realm expert were to attack, how could he possibly defend himself?

Therefore, until he was strong enough, he had to be cautious and prudent.

At the academy, at least no one would dare to attack him so openly.

There was no one in the Glacial Cold Valley.

Ling Fei made his way to the edge, where he saw the Profound Eagle still waiting for him.

'This Profound Eagle is quite loyal.' Seeing this, Ling Fei smiled, then took out a bear paw for the Profound Eagle to eat.

This was the meat of a bear at the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering. Eating it could increase its Blood Qi, making it the best kind of food for a Profound Eagle like this.

Immediately, Ling Fei mounted the Profound Eagle and flew toward Celestial River Academy.
