Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Ling Fei plucked the three stalks of Dragon Qi Spirit Bamboo Shoots from the cavern ceiling.

Then, he simply sat cross-legged on a nearby rock and began to refine the Dragon Spirit Bamboo Shoots.

The Dragon Spirit Bamboo Shoots were crystal clear, shaped like a dragon, and wreathed in Dragon Qi, as if a True Dragon were coiled around them.

Ling Fei activated his Dragon Bone, and a Qi Vortex materialized, swallowing the Dragon Spirit Bamboo Shoots.

The Dragon Qi essence contained within was immediately converted by the Dragon Bone.

First, the Dragon Bone absorbed a large amount of Essence Qi, while the rest was absorbed by the slumbering Yiyi.

However, once Yiyi had absorbed almost its fill, the Dragon Bone absorbed all the remaining dragon's Essence Qi.

It seemed to be prioritizing its own needs first.

Soon, all three stalks of Dragon Spirit Bamboo Shoots were completely refined.

Next, Ling Fei continued to scour the area for Spiritual Essence.

The Spiritual Essence here was all nurtured by Dragon Qi, consisting of things like Dragon Spirit Grass and dragon spirit branches.

Although they weren't legendary, they were a hundred times more potent than the Spiritual Essence found outside.

However, the Dragon Bone had been severely depleted before. This small amount of Essence Qi was clearly not enough to restore the Dragon Qi it had expended while dealing with that Evil Demon.

After gathering all the Spiritual Essence, Ling Fei's gaze shifted, landing on a passage up ahead.

This passage led deeper into the cavern, and the Dragon Qi emanating from it was noticeably denser.

Clearly, that was the source of the Dragon Qi.

'I'll go take a look.' With a hint of anticipation, Ling Fei headed toward the passage.

The passage ahead was wide, and the Cold Qi grew even more intense.

Inside, even a Celestial Spirit Realm Cultivator wouldn't be able to last for long.

However, Ling Fei had only walked eight hundred meters before he discovered a spacious cavern chamber.

This cavern was even larger than the previous one. Cold Qi filled the entire cavern, seemingly having ice-sealed the entire space.

Such intense Cold Qi was daunting.

Ling Fei had to push his Spiritual Sense to its limits just to barely make out some of the details inside.

Inside was a massive pool of water and a lot of rubble.

However, there was no Spiritual Essence to be found.

'The Cold Qi is so dense here, but there's no Spiritual Essence?' This left Ling Fei utterly astonished.

Filled with suspicion, he continued to probe with his Heart Spirit.

As his Heart Spirit Sensing extended outward, Ling Fei's pupils suddenly contracted, his gaze locking onto the edge of the pool ahead.

There, coiled up, was a dragon-shaped creature about seven feet tall.

It had four legs under its belly, each with four claws. Its snow-white Scale Armor glinted with a cold light, and an aura of Extreme Cold Qi emanated from its body.

Sensing more closely, one could feel a dense Dragon Qi also radiating from it. A sharp, three-inch horn grew from its forehead.

'Is this a Flood Dragon?' Seeing this, a look of astonishment appeared in Ling Fei's eyes.

Legend had it that pythons and other Spiritual Snakes could also grow claws.

However, only those that grew a horn on their head could be considered a Flood Dragon.

The giant creature before him had a horn on its head and legs under its belly—it was clearly a Flood Dragon!

The dense Cold Qi and Dragon Qi were emanating from this very Flood Dragon.

'But it seems to have no life force.' Soon, Ling Fei discovered that the Flood Dragon was just a corpse, devoid of any vitality.

'There's a giant python next to it?'

Just as Ling Fei was looking on in astonishment, his gaze shifted, and he jumped in fright.

Because next to the Flood Dragon, there was indeed a Silver-Scaled Python coiled up.

This python was also large, standing about three feet tall, but it was much smaller than the seven-foot-tall Flood Dragon. It was coiled up off to one side, so Ling Fei hadn't noticed it at first. When he finally saw it, his heart leaped in shock, because the python's eyes shot open and fixed on him.

Clearly, this was a living Demon Python.

This Demon Python had already grown four legs under its belly, showing signs of evolving into a Flood Dragon.

As its eyes opened, a light flashed within them, and a powerful aura pressed down on Ling Fei.

The aura was terrifying, having clearly reached the Primordial Pill Realm. As for which specific stage within that Realm, Ling Fei couldn't tell.

Nevertheless, a sense of danger had already enveloped Ling Fei.

The giant python shifted slightly, looking as if it was about to strike.

Ling Fei's Heart Spirit was powerful, and he immediately noticed the python's subtle movement.

ROAR!

Without a moment's hesitation, Ling Fei immediately gathered the True Dragon Power within his Dragon Bone, mobilized all the Blood Qi in his body, and unleashed a True Dragon Roar.

Instantly, a rolling sonic wave reverberated through the cavern, echoing endlessly.

"There's the sound of a dragon's roar!"

The sonic wave traveled through the passage to the outside, where it was heard by some of the people hunting Ling Fei. They immediately looked toward the area the sound came from.

"Could it be that Ling Fei?"

"Quick, follow the sound! If we kill Ling Fei, the credit will be ours." At once, many Late Stage Celestial Spirit Realm Cultivators headed toward the source of the sound.

...

This time, Ling Fei had clearly used his full power, attempting to stun the Demon Python with the True Dragon Roar.

At that moment, the Demon Python, which had been about to strike, was inwardly shaken, its eyes filled with terror.

However, it quickly recovered its senses. Ling Fei's True Dragon Roar sonic wave had been blocked by its powerful Spiritual Sense.

BANG!

The sonic wave Ling Fei released dissipated, and his Heart Spirit trembled, nearly suffering from the backlash.

'A Primordial Pill Realm Great Demon has already developed Spiritual Sense and can effectively resist soul attacks. For this Demon Python to block my sonic wave attack so easily, its Soul Power must far exceed that of an ordinary Primordial Pill Realm expert. Could it be a Profound Pill Realm, or even a Celestial Pill Realm, Great Demon?'

The Primordial Pill Realm is divided into three minor realms: Small Primordial Pill Realm, Profound Pill Realm, and Celestial Pill Realm.

With each advancement through these three minor realms, a Cultivator's strength increases immensely.

The difference is particularly vast in terms of the soul and proficiency in Martial Arts.

When his Soul Secret Technique was blocked, Ling Fei's brow furrowed tightly. He had a bad feeling.

This was his trump card. Now that even his Soul Secret Technique was useless against the Demon Python, how could he possibly fight it?

'Am I going to die here, filled with regret?' Ling Fei's brow was locked in a deep frown.

However, just as Ling Fei thought he was about to be hit by the Demon Python's thunderous strike, he was stunned to see a look of fear surface in the python's large, bell-like eyes. As it looked at Ling Fei, its body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if it had encountered a superior being.

'It's afraid of me?' A look of bewilderment crossed Ling Fei's face.

'It's because of the Dragon's Might on me!' Suddenly, Ling Fei had a realization.

At that moment, Light Patterns flickered across the Dragon Bone in his back. A wave of Dragon's Might spread out, coalescing around Ling Fei. When he had used the True Dragon Roar just now, his body had taken on the aspect of a True Dragon, exuding a supreme power. The sonic wave had invaded the Demon Python's mind, and although it had been shattered, the Dragon's Might remained, intimidating its soul.

It was a known fact that among Demon Beasts, the hierarchy of bloodlines was strict.

The more powerful the being, the more potent its bloodline's might.

A True Dragon, for example, was an overlord among Demon Beasts.

Even a juvenile True Dragon could make other Great Demons tremble with fear from its aura alone.

This was exactly what was happening to the Demon Python now.
