Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

"Very well. After you," said Beiming Transformation Sea, his eyes flashing.

"After you," Yuan Huaitian nodded.

The two then strode toward the edge of the mountain range.

The depths of the range were filled with too many Restrictions, which could easily trigger spatial fluctuations and cause unforeseen accidents.

Thus, even powerhouses of their caliber were extremely wary of fighting there.

And so, two Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouses stood facing each other at the edge of the Falling Star Mountain Range.

"I cultivate the art of Beiming; a single sword to transform the sea!" In the Void, Beiming Transformation Sea's expression was cold and severe. His domineering gaze swept over his surroundings, like a Sword Dao King surveying the world.

As he spoke, he beckoned with a grand gesture, and a Black Gold Treasure Sword materialized from thin air.

When the Treasure Sword appeared, a black light shot toward the heavens, seeming to pierce through the clouds and illuminate all of Jiuzhou. A terrifying Sword Qi swept out, as vast and majestic as the ocean itself.

"The Beiming Sect Leader is about to strike."

"Such a sharp sword light! He truly lives up to his name as the number one sword of the Southern Wilderness!" An uproar erupted throughout the mountains the moment Beiming Transformation Sea drew his Long Sword.

"The Sect Leader is taking action." Beichen Feng looked up, unable to stop himself from staring at that patch of the Void, a fervent glint in his eyes.

Beiming Transformation Sea…

'He's the undisputed number one sword in the Southern Wilderness!'

'Now that he's finally making a move, his presence must be absolutely overwhelming!'

'An opportunity like this only comes once in a century.'

The sword light soared to the heavens, causing even Grand Elder Fang and the others to frown.

As a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse, he felt immense pressure.

The sharp Sword Intent bore down on him, feeling like an ocean suspended overhead or a blade piercing his skin.

"The heavens hold the Five Elements, and the Path of the Five Elements encompasses all creation!" Just then, Yuan Huaitian also made his move. He flipped his palm, revealing a Five Elements Spirit Seal.

The Five Elements Spirit Seal hovered in the air, covered in coiling Light Patterns of the Five Elements. They resembled five intertwined Spirit Veins, and where they intersected, a profound fluctuation radiated outward.

However, the inside of the Five Elements Seal was indistinct.

It was a Supreme Treasure. By bringing it out, Yuan Huaitian was clearly demonstrating his resolve and trying to intimidate his opponent.

The Mystical of the Five Elements was vast and profound, not something an ordinary Cultivator could comprehend. Even Yuan Huaitian had only just begun to grasp its core principles.

But the moment the Five Elements Seal appeared, Light Patterns from Yuan Huaitian's Dantian and between his brows flared, weaving together like Dao Patterns and coiling around his body.

A vast surge of Five Elements Power began to condense around him.

He could use the Mystical Power within the Five Elements Seal to resonate with his own Divine Technique.

Around him, seas churned, mountains rose and fell, sword auras sharp as blades appeared, and vegetation sprouted…

'The Five Elements Seal! Isn't that the Lingyun Sect's foundational Supreme Treasure? He actually brought it out!'

Seeing this, the Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses in the mountains couldn't help but hold their breath.

'It seems this Yuan Huaitian is taking a hard stance. He really wants to lead the Lingyun Sect back to prominence!'

'Yuan Huaitian isn't that old—not even three hundred. He's a full one hundred and eighty years younger than Beiming Transformation Sea. To think his comprehension of the Mystical of the Five Elements is so strong! He can actually use the power of the Five Elements Spirit Seal to manifest the Five Elements themselves. It seems he's a true prodigy. No wonder he became the Sect Leader of the Lingyun Sect!'

'Yuan Huaitian was a young genius in his day. He rose like a comet in the Southern Wilderness, his fame spreading far and wide. However, he quickly faded from the public eye. By the time he reappeared, he was already the Sect Leader of the Lingyun Sect. Since then, no one has seen him fight. It was only during the last incident at the Dongze Ruins that people learned he had entered the Divine Mansion Realm.'

'But I wonder who is stronger, him or Beiming Transformation Sea?'

'I think it's Beiming Transformation Sea.'

'After all, he's been famous for ages and has been cultivating for one hundred and eighty years longer than Yuan Huaitian. His power must be unfathomable by now.'

As Yuan Huaitian made his move, a commotion swept through the mountains.

If one were to look closely, a Flying Chariot covered in floral engravings could be seen hidden at the edge of the mountain range.

Inside sat a woman of noble grace, yet possessing a stunning, icy beauty.

She was none other than the Valley Master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.

Elsewhere, on a Flying Chariot pulled by tiger- and leopard-like Great Demons, a slightly plump monk in a kasaya sat cross-legged on a prayer mat.

With his palms pressed together, he had the dignified air of a Buddha. A golden light swirled above his head, giving him a solemn, majestic appearance.

But his Heart Spirit had already journeyed a thousand li, sensing the auras of Beiming Transformation Sea and Yuan Huaitian.

This monk was the Host of the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple.

Master Xuan Ji!

Beside the Flying Chariot, other monks stood as steadfast as guardian deities.

All the top powerhouses of the Southern Wilderness had now gathered here.

Ling Fei had burst onto the scene, displaying extraordinary talent. Everyone knew a battle between the Beiming Sword Sect and the Lingyun Sect was inevitable.

They had rushed over now to witness for themselves the strength of these two Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouses.

This way, they could better gauge their power.

Besides, battles between Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouses were exceedingly rare in the Southern Wilderness. By watching, they could also reflect on their own Cultivation progress.

"The Mystical of the Five Elements is indeed vast and profound. However, my sword is unstoppable!"

In the distant Void, Beiming Transformation Sea's gaze focused. His Long Sword moved with his will, transforming into a streak of Sword Aura that slashed toward Yuan Huaitian.

SWOOSH!

The Sword Aura split the air like a dazzling meteor in the night sky. Its sharp Sword Qi tore through the heavens, aimed directly at Yuan Huaitian.

Those watching from afar felt no trace of the Sword Qi's rampage.

However, the Power contained within the Sword Aura made their hearts clench in tension.

'What a powerful strike. The Sword Intent, the Sword Qi—it's all perfectly contained within that single sword,' Grand Elder Fang thought, frowning from within the Mountain Abyss.

'This strike has transcended mere Sword Techniques and Sword Momentum. It has truly reached a state where the sword moves as he wills it, arriving the very instant he intends it to!'

"With the Sect Leader taking action, the outcome is sealed. That Ling Fei is a dead man!" Beishan Jianxiong grinned.

Yuan Huaitian, however, remained calm in the Void. With a wave of his hand, he guided the elements. Water currents immediately swirled around him as Dao Patterns converged.

As the Dao Patterns condensed, the embryonic form of a Spirit Seal took shape.

Instantly, the surrounding Water Essence surged toward this Spirit Seal.

WHOOSH!

The Spirit Seal swelled like a great converging river, containing a terrifying fluctuation of power.

As he guided the Spirit Seal, his Hand Technique shifted. More Light Patterns condensed—this time, they were Earth Divine Passage Patterns.

The two types of Dao Patterns, water and earth, intertwined and fused into a single Spirit Seal.

The moment this Spirit Seal formed, the Mystical aura of water and earth swept outward.

In the next moment, he guided it with both hands, sending the water-and-earth Spirit Seal howling toward the oncoming Sword Aura.

The Spirit Seal expanded continuously. From a distance, it looked like a vast ocean churning within, upon which great mountains rose and fell.

The sight sent a tremor through the hearts of the distant onlookers.

'A Water-and-Earth Spirit Seal…'

'Yuan Huaitian's mastery over the Mystical of the Five Elements seems to have reached an incredibly high Realm!'

At this, the Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses all grew tense.

Even the observers from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple were staring intently.

Just then, the sword light tore through the air and struck the ever-expanding Spirit Seal.

In the next instant, the patterns on the Spirit Seal were ripped apart.

But as the patterns tore, a vast torrent of Water Essence poured out.

This Water Essence was as vast as the ocean. As it cascaded down, the Void itself trembled, and a suffocating sensation arose in everyone's hearts.

'Are these the methods of a Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouse?'

Surprise filled the eyes of many onlookers.

It had seemed to be just a Spirit Seal, but to think it contained real, churning seawater as vast as an ocean! This gave them a deeper insight into the Martial Arts World.

The Long Sword tore through the air, ripping through the immense volume of seawater, but its momentum weakened ever so slightly.

Just as the Long Sword pressed its advantage, Dao Patterns condensed above the seawater, and a mountain manifested, pressing down directly onto the Sword Aura.

At this, that patch of the Void shuddered.

The Sword Aura faltered for a moment, then erupted with a heaven-shaking sword light.

The sword light soared, shattering the massive mountain.

However, a continuous torrent of seawater poured from within, submerging the sword light.

Gradually, the sword light dimmed, and the seawater was depleted.

In that patch of the Void, terrifying aftershocks rolled like waves a hundred zhang high.

When the sword light dissipated and the Spirit Seal shattered, the bodies of both Beiming Transformation Sea and Yuan Huaitian trembled slightly.

However, the two remained standing in mid-air, appearing as calm and unconcerned as ever.
