Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

'A tree that towers above the forest will be toppled by the wind. I've already made bitter enemies of the various sects, and this grudge is irreconcilable. If I want to survive in the Southern Wilderness, I must have enough strength. This time, I have to go to the True Dragon Ancient Hall. If I can obtain the True Dragon Inheritance, my power will skyrocket,' Ling Fei murmured to himself.

'As long as I can master the True Dragon's Eye, the risk will be worth it.' Ling Fei's eyes showed a resolute gleam.

'It won't be so easy for them to deal with me now.' A flicker in his eyes, Ling Fei continued deeper into the Mountain Abyss.

Although he was only in the Small Primordial Pill Realm, he was confident enough to protect himself within the Mountain Abyss.

As Ling Fei ventured deeper into the mountains, people continuously flew in from the outside.

They came from various sects.

Upon arriving, they immediately contacted their fellow sect members who were training in the Fallen Star Abyss.

"Has anyone found any trace of Ling Fei?" the youth leading the Beiming Sword Sect asked several disciples at the Celestial Pill Realm.

This youth was none other than Beichen Feng of the Beichen Clan.

"Replying to Young Master Beichen, we have not yet found any trace of Ling Fei," a Celestial Pill Realm cultivator said respectfully.

Despite being in the Celestial Pill Realm, he was extremely respectful toward Beichen Feng.

After all, Beichen Feng was a descendant of Beichen Xinghe!

"Still no trace of him?" Beichen Feng's brows furrowed. He then commanded, "Contact the people from the other sects. If they have any news, have them notify us immediately. Tell them that Ling Fei carries a great treasure and won't be so easy to kill. Furthermore, the Lingyun Sect won't just let him wander here alone. Therefore, if we want to succeed, we must strike like lightning and kill him in one fell swoop, giving the Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses no time to save him."

"Yes!" The Celestial Pill Realm cultivator nodded. Then, he blinked and said with a sheepish smile, "But wasn't it said that no Elders from the Lingyun Sect came?"

"On the surface, no Elders from the Lingyun Sect have made a move. But who knows what other arrangements they might have?" Beichen Feng said, his gaze darkening.

"This Ling Fei is a prodigy. He's not only accomplished in the Alchemy Dao, but also extremely strong in Martial Arts."

"It's said that half a month ago, after he stepped into the Small Primordial Pill Realm, he defeated the geniuses of every peak, gaining new insights with every battle. Such talent is rare even in the entire Southern Wilderness. How could the Lingyun Sect possibly let a prodigy like him face danger alone?" Beichen Feng said. After learning this, he no longer dared to underestimate Ling Fei.

"Is Ling Fei really that formidable?" Hearing this, the Celestial Pill Realm cultivators couldn't help but look astonished.

"Of course. Otherwise, why would the Sect have sent us to kill him, even if this might be a trap by the Lingyun Sect to lure us out?" Beichen Feng said.

"It seems this matter isn't so simple!" Upon hearing this, the Celestial Pill Realm cultivators all wore solemn expressions.

"But there's no need to worry. We've come here with our own advantages, of course," Beichen Feng said.

"Spread out. If you encounter people from other sects, discuss it with them. Share information as much as possible," Beichen Feng ordered.

"Yes!" Immediately, many of the Celestial Pill Realm cultivators dispersed.

"Let's go." Then, Beichen Feng led the people from the Beiming Sword Sect deeper into the mountain range.

Behind him, the majority of those who had come this time were experts at the Celestial Pill Realm.

「Inside the Chasing Star Mountain Range.」

Ling Fei flew by riding his Golden Eagle.

The Golden Eagle had already reached the Quasi-Primordial Pill Realm.

However, the Mountain Abyss was filled with too many Demon Birds, and conflicts were inevitable.

At first, Ling Fei relied on his powerful Soul Power to directly intimidate many Demon Birds at the Small Primordial Pill Realm.

But when he ventured a hundred miles into the Mountain Abyss, the Demon Birds became more and more numerous, starting to appear in flocks.

'If this goes on, I'll definitely be discovered,' Ling Fei mused. 'But that's for the best. My only fear is that they *won't* find me.'

'This time, I must teach the sects a lesson. Otherwise, they'll really think I, Ling Fei, am an easy target. If that happens, I'll be facing an endless stream of ambushes.'

Ling Fei understood this well. His talent was simply too great, and the various sects had long since regarded him as a formidable enemy. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't have hunted him in the Dongze Ruins. But these were things he couldn't avoid. If he didn't reveal his prowess, the Sect wouldn't have focused on nurturing him.

'Ahead, we're very close to a Spirit Cave recorded by Senior Marsh King.' As Ling Fei advanced through the Mountain Abyss, he constantly observed the surrounding routes.

Back then, the Marsh King had also discovered some Spiritual Essence here.

However, the Spiritual Essence hadn't matured yet, so he left it there, intending to come back for it in the future.

The Marsh King had placed Restrictions in those areas, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter.

But now, a thousand years had passed, and it was unknown if that Spiritual Essence was still there.

If it was, the Spiritual Essence would have surely grown to an astonishing degree, which would be immensely helpful for increasing Ling Fei's strength.

This was also why Ling Fei had thought to come here alone.

After all, if there were more people, they would naturally notice some clues and realize what kind of inheritance he had obtained. How else would he know about these restricted areas?

AWOO!

Just as Ling Fei arrived at a valley, the sound of a wolf's howl suddenly rang out from ahead.

When Ling Fei's gaze shifted, he saw a pack of giant wolves staring at him covetously.

These giant wolves had scarlet eyes and, surprisingly, wings on their backs. Each one exuded the aura of the Small Primordial Pill Realm.

The two leading them even had the aura of the Profound Pill Realm.

'Winged Wolves, and so many of them.' Ling Fei's brow twitched. Before him were more than forty Winged Wolves. Among them, two were at the Profound Pill Realm, and forty-three were at the Small Primordial Pill Realm. A pack this size would be enough to make any Small Primordial Pill Realm cultivator turn tail and flee. If he hadn't condensed his Primordial Pill and comprehended Sword Intent, this would have been very troublesome.

But now…

With a focus of his gaze, a Giant Sword appeared in Ling Fei's hand.

This was the Sword Shield he had seized from Beichen Yu. After Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun refined away the soul imprint within it, it had fallen into Ling Fei's hands.

Previously, Ling Fei's Essence Qi was thin, making it difficult to activate this kind of Profound Spirit Treasure more than a few times.

But now he had stepped into the Small Primordial Pill Realm, and his True Dragon Refining God Technique had reached the stage of transforming Soul Power into liquid. His Soul Power was now far stronger than that of a Celestial Pill Realm cultivator. With this, activating the Profound Spirit Treasure was much easier than before. This was also why he dared to come to the Fallen Star Abyss.

The Sword Shield could change size. With a thought from Ling Fei, it immediately transformed into a nine-foot-long, ink-black Giant Sword.

AWOO!

The Giant Sword had barely appeared in his hand when the Winged Wolves in front pounced.

The two at the lead were especially ferocious. Their claws shot out, whistling with Essence Qi that formed into claw-like beams of light, tearing directly toward Ling Fei's chest and abdomen.

"Profound Pill Realm, eh? Then have a taste of my sword!" Ling Fei poured his Heart Spirit into the Giant Sword. The Long Sword immediately radiated a vast momentum, an aura far beyond what a Spirit Level Treasure Sword could possess. However, Ling Fei did not deliberately activate the Power of Inscription within it.

If he were to activate the power within the sword, it would exhaust a massive amount of his Essence Qi and Soul Power.

'Why would I need to do that just to deal with these Demon Beasts?'

With the Long Sword in hand, a sharp Sword Intent was injected into it.

For a moment, sword, intent, and heart seemed to merge into one.

However, Ling Fei's soul still felt a slight strain.

'Controlling a Profound Spirit Treasure is indeed harder than a normal Spiritual Treasure. But this Profound Spirit Treasure is also sharper, and its Sword Momentum will be even more powerful.' Ling Fei's eyes flashed. The Long Sword sliced through the Void like an arc. The sword strike was fluid and free, a simple blow, yet as it cut through the air, the light from the wolf claws shattered.

SLICE!

The next moment, the sword light swept past, and the claws of the two Profound Pill Realm Winged Wolves were sliced clean off.

Along with it, the tyrannical aftershock of Sword Qi rampaged outward.
