Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

"Why ask so many questions?" Just as the Ancient Beast looked on in shock, its body blurred, and the towering man manifested once more. He gave a malevolent smile and said, "Heh heh, for the Pen of Order, refined from Dragon Bone, to fall into the hands of a mere brat... heaven is truly on my side. Once I seize this pen and make it my own, who in this world can contend with us?"

Then, his massive hand reached out, slapping toward the Qi Dragon.

BANG!

The huge hand struck, instantly crushing the Qi Dragon.

A vast shockwave erupted, like a monstrous tide threatening to engulf Ling Fei.

"This..." Seeing this, Ling Fei frowned. He had already used all his strength to activate the Dragon Bone Pen, yet it was still so easily defeated.

Before the terrifying aftershock could even reach him, Ling Fei felt his breathing become difficult, as if his blood vessels were about to burst.

Right now, he was like a grain of sand in a Star River, on the verge of being annihilated by its violent currents at any moment.

YAH!

Just as Ling Fei felt he was about to be annihilated by the Star River, a soft "yah" suddenly rang out.

BUZZ!

Then, the Five-Colored Crystal Stone on the cave ceiling abruptly shattered.

As the Five-Colored Crystal Stone crumbled, a fluffy, snow-white little beast appeared on the ceiling.

WHOOSH!

The moment the little beast appeared, the shattered Crystal Stone fragments next to it seemed to transform into streams of Five-Colored Dao Patterns, which were then absorbed into its body.

In an instant, the Crystal Stone vanished, completely integrated into the little beast's body.

YAH!

Then, it stretched out a small, furry paw and struck toward the giant palm that was descending upon Ling Fei.

Before its tiny paw even made contact, Dao Patterns swept out and slammed into the giant hand, drastically reducing the pressure on Ling Fei.

'It's that little beast!' As the pressure lessened, Ling Fei's attention shifted, and he saw the small beast that had suddenly appeared.

A flicker of joy ignited in his heart at the sight.

At that exact moment, the little beast's paw collided with the giant hand extended by the towering man.

BANG!

A tremendous sound echoed out. The towering man's palm trembled and was blasted into nothingness, dissipating on the spot.

A terrifying aftershock immediately rippled outward.

The shockwave carried enough power to annihilate heaven and earth.

But five-colored light patterns rippled from the little beast's paw, like ripples of the Great Dao, directly neutralizing the terrifying aftershock in the vicinity.

Thus, Ling Fei, who was standing nearby, was spared the fate of being harmed by the dreadful shockwave.

As his giant hand dissipated, the towering man's pupils shrank. Beside him, Light Patterns squirmed, and another hand coalesced into existence.

He then looked up.

"The Five-Colored Divine Stone actually gave birth to a living creature?" A look of surprise crossed his eyes, and his expression grew solemn.

He had clearly seen the scene just now, when the Five-Colored Crystal Stone shattered and the little beast appeared.

This was beyond his expectations.

'Isn't this Five-Colored Divine Stone a World Origin Stone? How could this happen... It actually birthed a living spirit. Could it be... was this all part of that old demoness's plan?' As the towering man's expression grew grave, his figure flickered and transformed back into the Ancient Beast.

"ROAR!" the Ancient Beast bellowed, its eyes blazing with fury. "Today, I will devour this spirit! It can still replenish my Essence Qi!"

Its beastly claw shot out, aiming to swat the little beast.

WHOOSH!

Instantly, a terrifying aura swept out, freezing the very Void where the little beast was.

YAH!

The little beast let out a soft cry. With a flick of its paw, the colored patterns on its body converged, seemingly transforming into the patterns of the Great Dao itself.

Finally, these Light Patterns coalesced into a profound Dao Seal that pressed down upon the giant beast below.

Under the suppression of the Giant Seal, the Ancient Beast's claw immediately disintegrated.

At the same time, Five-Colored Dao Patterns gathered, snaking along the nine pillars and transforming into chains that wrapped directly around the Ancient Coffin.

"This..." Seeing this, the form of the towering man appeared within the Ancient Beast. 'The Dao Patterns are wrapping around it... are they trying to stop me from entering the coffin?'

"However, with your meager strength, it's far from enough." The man snorted coldly. "In that case, I'll let you witness my true power!"

With a flash in his eyes, Light Patterns flickered on the Ancient Coffin, and a thick wave of Corpse Qi swept out.

This Corpse Qi was profound, like chains of Dao Patterns, and it gathered toward the man's illusory figure.

Instantly, his figure grew more and more solid. At a glance, he looked like a real person, exuding a world-sundering might that could look down upon all of creation.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, he moved his hand, which transformed into a giant hand large enough to envelop a Star River and blot out the sky, striking toward the little beast's Dao Seal.

From a distance, it looked like the claw of an Ancient Beast reaching out, so sharp it tore right through the Void.

'This person is so strange. He seems like a powerhouse from Ancient Times, but also like an Ancient Beast. Could it be... does he have two souls? Or is he a monster formed from the fusion of two souls?' Ling Fei stared intently at the scene unfolding before him, his heart heavy with both shock and gravity.

The giant hand slammed directly into the Dao Seal coalesced by the little beast.

BANG!

A heaven-shaking boom erupted. The little beast's Dao Seal trembled, and cracks appeared on its surface, clearly having sustained a violent blow.

The colored Dao Patterns blooming around it began to dissipate, looking strained and weak.

YAH!

The little beast struck with all its might, sending endless Dao Patterns like chains to pierce through the giant hand below.

Pierced by these Dao Patterns, the giant hand's aura gradually weakened.

The Dao Patterns were profound, seemingly able to dissolve the Corpse Qi within the giant hand.

As a result, the once-solid giant hand became illusory again in an instant.

BANG!

Finally, the giant hand disintegrated.

The entire Void trembled.

"As expected of an Innate Spirit born from the Five-Colored Divine Stone, possessing Heaven and Earth Dao Patterns from birth. But in the end, you are merely a newborn."

The towering man was slightly surprised, but his expression remained calm. His last attack had only been a probing strike.

Now that he had a measure of the little beast's strength, he had a clear understanding of the situation.

'As long as I defeat this little beast and devour its Innate Essence Qi, I'll be able to recover a portion of the severe injuries I sustained in Ancient Times.'

"Heh heh. Originally, the Five-Colored Divine Stone was incredibly hard, and its Power of Origin was difficult to forcibly extract in its entirety. Even I could only use an Array to slowly absorb its Original Essence Qi and gradually recover my strength. But now, the Five-Colored Divine Stone has birthed a spirit, concentrating all of its Essence Qi into one being. If I devour you, it's the same as devouring the Five-Colored Divine Stone! HAHAHA, it seems heaven is truly on my side, willing my return to this world!"

The towering man wore a savage grin.

Then, the aura around him grew even more powerful.

He formed hand seals, and the Corpse Qi on his body began to condense, about to form a profound Divine Seal.

YAH!

Seeing this, the little beast on the ceiling knitted its brows, its face filled with worry.

Then its Gemstone-like eyes flashed, and it looked down at Ling Fei below.

EEYA, EEYA!

The sound entered directly into Ling Fei's mind.

Ling Fei looked up and saw the little beast waving its paws, pointing at the Evil Demon, and chattering "eeya, eeya" nonstop.

'It wants my help to fight this Evil Demon together?' Ling Fei was taken aback, having barely managed to understand the meaning behind the little beast's "eeya" sounds.

"YAH!" Seeing that Ling Fei seemed to understand it, the little beast let out a soft cry. Its eyes lit up, and it revealed an incredibly cute smile.

A rosy blush even appeared on its furry cheeks.

It seemed very happy, indeed.

"Alright, how can I help you?" Ling Fei asked.

YAH!

Before Ling Fei could think further, a soft "yah" sounded. The little beast's body flashed as if it had passed through space, appearing directly at Ling Fei's side.
