Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

The raging Sword Qi surged forward, like a host of True Dragon swords pouncing on Zhou Jian.

The sheer momentum made his blood boil and his soul tremble.

"What powerful Sword Momentum!" Zhou Jian's eyes showed his surprise as he muttered, "What kind of Sword Intent has Pill Master Ling Fei comprehended?"

In his astonishment, Zhou Jian flicked his wrist. The Long Sword quivered and stabbed into the Void, piercing toward the raging True Dragon Sword Qi in front of him.

Only then did he manage to shatter the True Dragon Sword Qi before leaping back in retreat.

At this moment, Ling Fei, on the other side, was still immersed in his epiphany.

'That's it. Thoughts must follow the heart. My True Dragon Mystical Technique and Cold Dao Mystical can both follow my heart's will. Only then can it be a true sword. Mystical, body, and heart united as one—only then can I unleash a peerless strike.' Ling Fei's mind grew clearer and brighter, and the Sword Momentum around him soared.

True Dragon Mystical Technique!

With a thought, his mind sank into his Divine Sea, continuing to perceive the True Dragon Mystical Technique within the True Dragon Visualization Image.

At the same time, with another thought, dense Cold Qi immediately spread out from the Cold Dao Mystical Seed in his Divine Sea, as if merging with his heart.

However, he did not intend to use his Cold Dao Mystical at this time.

Because Ling Fei had already condensed a Cold Dao Mystical Seed, using the Cold Dao Mystical would obviously make this battle unfair.

'But my True Dragon Momentum isn't integrated enough; my comprehension is still lacking.' Ling Fei's thoughts raced. After just a preliminary exchange, he'd had another insight.

The stronger the soul, the faster the mind works.

In an instant, he could think about many things at once.

Celestial River Nine Swords!

With a single thought, Ling Fei attacked again, unleashing the Celestial River Nine Swords and charging toward Zhou Jian.

He wanted to test his idea.

SWISH, SWISH!

With a move of his Long Sword, a Sword River howled forth.

This time, the Sword River roared, and every strike was like a True Dragon pouncing, like a great river surging.

"Ling Fei's Swordsmanship is clearly getting stronger." Zhou Jian felt immense pressure.

Just now, when Ling Fei fought Huang Ping, he had also used the Celestial River Nine Swords.

But its power then couldn't compare to its power now.

Meteor Sword: Meteor Sword Rain!

With a solemn expression, Zhou Jian's Heart Spirit flared, and his Long Sword danced.

His Long Sword danced, and Sword Qi howled forth. Each strand of Sword Qi was like a meteor streaking through the Void, shooting forward.

The Sword Qi was incredibly fast and had immense piercing power, fully embodying the intent of a meteor.

WHOOSH, WHOOSH!

The Sword Qi pierced the Sword River, but Ling Fei's Celestial River Nine Swords followed, strike after strike, instantly swallowing the endless meteor-like Sword Qi.

The Sword River, like an Overlord Dragon, seized the opportunity to pounce. By the time it closed in on Zhou Jian, he had already lost the space to execute his Meteor Sword technique.

Meteors Fill the Sky!

However, as Ling Fei closed in, Zhou Jian's Heart Spirit flared. Sword Qi roared out from his body, transforming into a volley of meteor-like swords that streaked forward.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The Sword Qi howled out, a magnificent sight, tearing through the Sword River and plunging into its depths.

"Senior Brother Zhou Jian is going all out?" Seeing this, the Cultivators below the stage were all stunned.

Zhou Jian, as a cultivator of the Meteor Sword, was supposed to be like a meteor himself—defeating his enemy in a single strike!

But now he was forced to manifest thousands of strands of Sword Qi to attack, a clear sign of desperation.

For someone to push Zhou Jian this far was extremely rare in the Martial Vein!

"Only those senior brothers who have condensed a Sword Intent Seed should be able to push Senior Brother Zhou Jian this far, right?" many people murmured.

'Celestial River Nine Swords, Sword Qi River, Thoughts Follow the Heart, My Heart is Like a Dragon, Body as a Sword!' a low voice echoed in Ling Fei's mind.

At this moment, he had forgotten the Celestial River. In his heart, there was only Sword Intent. His Swordsmanship emerged, moving with his heart, his Sword Intent fully on display.

Thus, the Sword River no longer resembled a river, but a dragon, a sword!

This was the Celestial River Nine Swords!

And yet, it was no longer constrained by the form of the Celestial River Nine Swords.

Every strike contained True Sword Dao Intent.

The Meteor Sword strikes pierced through, cutting across the Sword River, but Ling Fei pushed forward relentlessly. His Sword Momentum pressed on, each wisp of Sword Qi like a dragon—wild and domineering—shattering the Meteor Sword strikes one by one. Then, the crowd watched as Ling Fei's body became shrouded in Sword Qi. He shot through the Void like a Sword Dragon, materializing right beside Zhou Jian.

Near Zhou Jian, large swathes of his Sword Qi dissipated, completely unable to contend with Ling Fei.

With True Dragon Power integrated into his Sword Qi, how could an ordinary person compare?

"My Meteor Sword Rain was shattered just like that?" A look of utter shock crossed Zhou Jian's face.

BANG!

Then, under the assault of the Sword Dragon's strikes, Zhou Jian's body was sent flying.

His Protective Pill Essence shattered, bones broke, and he immediately coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

A strand of Sword Qi had pierced his Soft Armor, leaving a hole in his clothes through which one could see his grim-looking bones.

WHOOSH!

The next moment, the crowd saw Zhou Jian flying backward in a sorry state.

"This... Senior Brother Zhou Jian was actually sent flying?" Seeing this, the Cultivators below the stage were all stunned.

After all, Zhou Jian had just attacked with all his might. The momentum of his Meteor Sword Rain was unstoppable. An ordinary person would have been unable to block it, and even if they did, it would have consumed the power of their own offense. Yet Ling Fei's strike had been a near-total rout, its remaining force still severely injuring Zhou Jian. It was clear just how powerful his attack had been.

"Incredible!" On the stage, Steward Huang's eyes flashed. He quickly darted over and caught Zhou Jian.

When he glanced at Ling Fei, his face was also filled with astonishment.

After all, Ling Fei hadn't been this strong when he fought Cheng Xianwu!

"How is Ling Fei so strong?" The disciples below the stage were also bewildered.

'Integrating the True Dragon Mystical Technique into the Sword Dao is indeed powerful,' Ling Fei murmured to himself after seeing Zhou Jian sent flying.

At this moment, his mind was still replaying the scene of his last attack.

Although he had comprehended the True Dragon Mystical Technique and integrated it into his Sword Dao before, he had not yet comprehended the Sword Heart. Thus, he couldn't truly merge the Mystical and Sword Intent with himself.

Only now had he truly reached a Minor Achievement in the Sword Dao and truly taken control of his Sword Heart.

'But I'm still far from good enough,' Ling Fei murmured.

In his view, if he could advance one more step, the power of his Swordsmanship would be even greater.

Whether it was his True Dragon Mystical Technique or his Swordsmanship, there was still plenty of room for improvement.

"Ling Fei is incredible. He just comprehended the Sword Heart in his last match, and in this one he's already mastered it. If he keeps this up, is he going to condense a Sword Intent Seed next?"

Below the stage, many of the older disciples felt their hearts tremble when they saw Zhou Jian get sent flying.

These few had all condensed Sword Intent Seeds, so they naturally understood the progress Ling Fei was making.

This kind of progress was unsettling.

"A genius! An absolute genius! Ling Fei has actually mastered the Sword Heart!" On the high platform, several elders of the Martial Vein couldn't help but praise him.

Comprehending the Sword Heart was just the initial stage.

Only by mastering the Sword Heart could one condense Sword Intent.

After comprehending the Sword Heart, many people needed some time before they could master it.

Take Zhou Jian, for example. He had not yet mastered the Sword Heart. If he had, he would have long since entered seclusion to try and condense a Sword Intent Seed.

"Ling Fei has mastered the Sword Heart now. If he were to also integrate his Cold Dao Mystical, his combat power would be matched by few in the younger generation." A fervent glint flickered in Yuan Lang the Pill Master's eyes. The strength Ling Fei was displaying had already surpassed their expectations.

You have to understand, achieving a breakthrough during a single battle was already incredible.

But Ling Fei was clearly comprehending and improving continuously.

Such talent was truly rare.

It was a rare sight even in the Lingyun Sect.
