Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

"To gain the recognition of this True Dragon's Eye, you must possess sufficient True Dragon Bloodline Power," the Marsh King said. "Circulate the True Dragon Power within your body and inject it into the cauldron. If your Bloodline Power is strong enough, the True Dragon's Eye will naturally sense it. If you cannot gain its recognition, then this item is not fated to be yours."

"Alright!" Ling Fei's gaze hardened, and he walked over to the giant cauldron.

The cauldron was very tall, and an air of supreme might emanated from it.

That might was soul-shaking, surpassing even that of Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses. Even the Celestial Emperor of Great Tang could not exude such a vast, supreme might.

All of this might was emanating from the True Dragon's Eye.

'True Dragon Power!' A glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes as he looked up at the giant cauldron before him. He immediately began to circulate the True Dragon Transformation Technique.

Once the Cultivation Technique was circulating, the blood within Ling Fei's body began to boil, and the latent Bloodline Power was continuously unearthed.

Instantly, it was as if thousands of True Dragons were rampaging inside Ling Fei's body.

"Such potent Blood Qi, like ten thousand dragons stampeding! Excellent, excellent. This is indeed Bloodline Power. Just inject this Power into the cauldron's dragon tail." A look of awe spread across the Marsh King's face. The strength of Ling Fei's Blood Qi had far exceeded his imagination. 'Perhaps this young man can truly gain the Dragon Eye's recognition.'

If so, his lingering obsession could finally dissipate.

"Alright!" When his Blood Qi had been more or less fully drawn out, Ling Fei extended his palm and reached for the dragon tail that extended down to the cauldron's leg.

He pressed his palm against the dragon tail, and the True Dragon Bloodline Power from within his body flowed into it.

WHUMMM!

Instantly, the dragon tail erupted in a dazzling light. A beam of light extended toward the True Dragon's head at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ling Fei continuously poured his True Dragon Power into it.

He slowly raised his head, sensing the flow of the light and the changes in the giant dragon.

In addition, the Dragon Bone in his back began to hum and tremble. The vibrations grew stronger and stronger, as if it sensed the presence of its own kind, making it excited.

A surge of True Dragon Power also emanated from the Dragon Bone, flowing along with his own into the dragon tail on the cauldron.

WHUMMM!

Instantly, the draconic Light Patterns carved into the cauldron flared up, as if they were about to come to life.

At the dragon's head, faint Light Patterns suddenly appeared on the True Dragon's Eye, followed by spreading ripples.

WHUMMM!

Suddenly, the Light Patterns on the True Dragon's Eye flared brilliantly. The patterns flowed across its surface, releasing a terrifying aura capable of destroying heaven and earth.

The aura was so intense it made Ling Fei's breath catch in his throat. The feeling of impending death flooded his mind.

However, the Dragon Bone in his back emitted a soft expanse of Light Patterns that enveloped him, blocking the terrifying aura from the True Dragon's Eye.

Nearby, the Marsh King was completely and utterly stunned.

'The True Dragon's Eye... it's been activated?' The Marsh King stared at the True Dragon's Eye before him, his face a mask of shock.

Within the pupil, Light Patterns surfaced, seemingly evolving into a world. From that world, a terrifying aura of death spread out—an aura that even the Marsh King felt wary of. At the same time, a nostalgic look appeared on his face as memories of the past resurfaced.

In that battle against King Ji, he had relied on this to repel his foe, striking King Ji with the Power of Death.

Unfortunately, he too was gravely wounded by King Ji. His Power of Life was drastically reduced, and his strength plummeted.

After being so grievously injured, he retreated to Dongze. But to his dismay, he was never able to dispel the lingering Dao Pattern Power from King Ji's attack.

Only when his life was fading did he establish these ancient ruins, partly so his body could rest in peace, and partly to find a destined successor.

'Now, this young man has caused the True Dragon's Eye to manifest a phenomenon using only his own Bloodline Power. If he continues to grow stronger, could he perhaps master the True Dragon's Eye?'

'If he masters the True Dragon's Eye, then there will be a chance for my revenge.'

Amid his surprise, the Marsh King continued to watch Ling Fei and the True Dragon's Eye on the cauldron intently.

'Such a vast aura, and it hasn't affected him at all?' The Marsh King stared at Ling Fei, his face filled with astonishment.

At this moment, the Light Patterns on the True Dragon's Eye were swirling, emitting a terrifying Power of Death. It was a Power that not even Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses would dare to touch.

Even Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouses would have to be wary of it.

And yet, this young man was unharmed?

How could the Marsh King not be shocked?

'Has it acknowledged him?' the Marsh King murmured.

He hadn't detected the Dragon Bone in Ling Fei.

The Dragon Bone!

It was incomparably profound. It truly existed within Ling Fei's body, yet it was shielded from all forms of detection, making it impossible for anyone to perceive its existence.

Even the Marsh King, with his Heaven-Reaching methods, could not see it.

The True Dragon's Eye continuously absorbed the Bloodline Power, and its light grew increasingly brilliant.

It seemed the True Dragon's Eye also required True Dragon Power to activate some of its might.

A short while later, the terrifying phenomenon within the pupil dissipated, replaced by the appearance of fragmented patterns.

These fragmented patterns covered the pupil, looking like interwoven Dao Patterns, and appeared incomparably profound.

They contained a terrifying aura that Ling Fei did not even dare to probe with his Heart Spirit.

Just a single glance at the Dao Patterns within the pupil made him feel as if he were enveloped by an aura of death, and a bone-deep fear rose from within him.

The Dao Patterns in this Dragon Eye were incomplete; one could even see cracks on the pupil itself, giving it a clearly damaged appearance.

'This True Dragon's Eye was damaged in the past?' Waves of shock surged through Ling Fei's heart.

This was just a single eye, yet its aura was so astonishing. The phenomenon it had manifested earlier was like a whole world, and yet it was merely a damaged eye.

If it were completely intact, how powerful would it be?

And how powerful must its owner have been?

The fragmented Dao Patterns within the pupil writhed, trying to fuse together.

Unfortunately, they ultimately failed to fuse, and the Light Patterns within the pupil steadily grew dim instead.

This was because a massive amount of True Dragon Power had been exhausted.

As the Light Patterns faded, all the Dao Patterns on the pupil retracted.

After retracting, it turned into an ordinary-looking pupil, upon which some cracks were still faintly visible.

'It stopped?' Ling Fei's brow arched.

WHOOSH!

At that very moment, the pupil flashed and shot down toward Ling Fei below.

A terrifying aura enveloped Ling Fei, and in the next instant, the pupil sank into the space between his eyebrows.

'It entered his mind?' Seeing this, a glint flashed in the Marsh King's eyes, and an excited look spread across his face. "It seems the True Dragon's Eye has truly acknowledged this young man."

The True Dragon's Eye sank into his mind.

Ling Fei extended his Heart Spirit and immediately discovered the Dragon Eye's presence.

However, when he tried to approach the True Dragon's Eye, he still felt a terrifying aura of death pressing down on him.

Yet the True Dragon's Eye itself showed no sign of fluctuation.

It was an innate, terrifying might.

'At my current level, I still can't make contact with the True Dragon's Eye,' Ling Fei thought to himself.

'But the fact that the True Dragon's Eye flew into my mind clearly means it has acknowledged me. In that case, does this mean I've obtained the Marsh King's inheritance?'

At this thought, joy bloomed in Ling Fei's heart. He opened his eyes and looked toward the Marsh King.

"Congratulations on gaining the recognition of the True Dragon's Eye," the Marsh King said with a smile.
