Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

"You have passed my trial. I shall bestow upon you a drop of True Dragon Essence Blood. If you merge with this Essence Blood, you will gradually gain control over the Eye of Destruction. Whether or not you can truly master it this time will depend on your own destiny." As his words fell, Ao Qian made a guiding gesture with his finger.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, Light Patterns flickered within this stretch of Void, and strands of blood gathered from all directions toward the True Dragon Ancient Hall ahead.

Inside the True Dragon Ancient Hall, Light Patterns shimmered, and a drop of Essence Blood materialized out of thin air.

"Back then, I deliberately left a drop of Essence Blood in this hall so that my successor could merge with it and gain control of the two divine eyes," the Ao Qian Dragon King said.

"Unfortunately, when my remnant soul was carrying the True Dragon Ancient Hall and splitting the Void, we were attacked. This caused the True Dragon's Eyes to be scattered outside, and the Essence Blood's aura to leak. That's how the two True Dragon's Eyes ended up in others' possession, and how you found your way here by relying on the Eye of Destruction," Ao Qian said.

The Marsh King's rise to power was largely related to this.

In fact, this was something he did intentionally.

Because only by spreading news of the Ancient Hall would people continuously come seeking opportunities, allowing him to select a true successor.

Otherwise, if no one knew of the inheritance here, how would he ever find a successor?

Now, the Ao Qian Dragon King performed a Hand Technique, and all the Essence Blood that had leaked into this space returned, condensing into that single drop within the True Dragon Ancient Hall.

A vast Dragon's Might rippled out, completely overwhelming Ling Fei.

A drop of crimson blood then appeared before Ling Fei's eyes.

Dragon Qi coiled around the blood, like True Dragons circling within. Bursts of high, clear dragon roars echoed out.

"Are you prepared?" the Ao Qian Dragon King inquired.

"I am prepared!" Ling Fei said with a solemn expression.

"True Dragon Essence Blood, begin the infusion!" A deep voice rang out as Ao Qian's hands began to guide the energy.

"Good. You must hold on. Though it is only a single drop, my Essence Blood is incomparably powerful. If you cannot merge with it, you will easily be torn apart by its power and perish," Ao Qian said with a grave expression.

For this reason, becoming his successor was very difficult.

If one already possessed the bloodline of the Dragon Race, the compatibility would offer a much greater chance of success.

WHOOSH!

Guided by Ao Qian, the Dragon Blood hovered above Ling Fei's head.

Then, strands of blood streamed down, pouring into Ling Fei.

ROAR!

As the strands of blood poured down, they were like countless True Dragons plunging into Ling Fei's body.

They contained special blood-runes.

These were the runes of a bloodline, and everyone's bloodline runes are unique.

The bloodline runes of some experts even contained imprints of the Divine Techniques Dao.

Because of this, the descendants of those experts who inherited the bloodline also inherited some of their ancestors' Divine Techniques, thus possessing world-shaking abilities.

This drop of Dragon Blood was the very essence of Ao Qian's blood. Even as a single drop, it was incomparably profound, containing the Great Dao he possessed.

However, merging with this Essence Blood was also extremely difficult.

AHH!

The moment the strands of blood entered his body, Ling Fei felt as if he was about to be torn apart by the terrifying Power.

The True Dragon Blood Qi was too terrifying; a single strand was enough to make Ling Fei explode.

The slightest misstep, and he would perish right here.

'True Dragon Body Refining Technique!'

'True Dragon Refining God Technique!'

'Dragon Bone, absorb the True Dragon Blood Qi!' As the Dragon Blood's power invaded his body, Ling Fei immediately activated several Cultivation Techniques.

At the same time, he activated the Dragon Bone, relying on his Capture Divine Techniques to refine and merge with the True Dragon Blood.

As the Capture Divine Techniques manifested, Ling Fei's body transformed into a Qi Vortex, like a True Dragon that could refine and devour all things in heaven and earth.

The True Dragon Blood Qi finally became less violent.

Ling Fei's body began to absorb the True Dragon Blood Qi.

"Not bad. My Essence Blood is not something an ordinary person can absorb. You possess the Ancestor Dragon Bone, which will help you fuse with the Dragon Blood. This means you can truly receive my inheritance. It seems fate has its own design. Go on and properly fuse with my Essence Blood!" Seeing this, the Ao Qian Dragon King was inwardly delighted.

He then guided with both hands, controlling the rhythm of the Dragon Blood infusion to assist Ling Fei in fusing with the True Dragon Blood.

Ling Fei continuously absorbed the True Dragon Blood Qi to forge his True Dragon Body.

The Blood Qi followed his Cultivation Technique, tempering his meridians and bones.

Originally, Ling Fei's arms had already transformed.

But now, he drew upon the True Dragon Blood Qi to temper them again, reforging his True Dragon Arm.

Because the True Dragon Blood Qi he had channeled before was too thin, the resulting True Dragon Arm was not particularly powerful.

This time was different.

Since he was going to forge a True Dragon Body, he naturally wanted to forge the most perfect one possible.

The tempering from the True Dragon Blood Qi continuously strengthened Ling Fei's muscles and bones.

With the True Dragon Blood Qi infused into his flesh and blood, it felt as if a True Dragon lay dormant within him. The sensation of power was incredibly exhilarating for Ling Fei.

In addition, he also guided the True Dragon Blood Qi to temper his soul.

...

Time passed quietly.

One day, two days...

「In the Falling Star Mountain Range.」

The people from the Lingyun Sect were still waiting.

During this time, the Lingyun Sect captured the spies who had leaked the news of Ling Fei's trip to the Falling Star Mountain Range, one by one.

This caused a great uproar within the Lingyun Sect.

As for the Beiming Sword Sect, they remained very quiet.

Because many of those spies were their people.

After this incident, the news of Ling Fei killing Celestial Pill Realm experts from the Beiming Sword Sect in the Falling Star Mountain Range spread throughout all the sects of the Southern Wilderness.

"What! Ling Fei actually killed Beishan Yun and numerous other Celestial Pill Realm experts from the Beiming Sword Sect all by himself!"

"Isn't Ling Fei an alchemy genius? How is he so formidable in Martial Arts too?"

...

Disciples from every sect were discussing it animatedly.

Even the elders felt a tremor in their hearts upon hearing the news.

A mere Small Primordial Pill Realm Cultivator had slain over a hundred Celestial Pill Realm masters. Such a battle record was a rarity even in the ancient history of the Southern Wilderness!

"Senior Brother Ling Fei is actually that strong?" In the Lingyun Sect, the disciples of every peak were utterly shocked when they heard the news.

This was especially true for those from the Martial Vein and the other geniuses who had once sparred with Ling Fei.

Upon hearing this, they were completely stunned.

How much time had passed? The young man who had once crossed hands with them had already reached a height they could only look up to.

"Back when we sparred, he must not have been using his full strength, right?" Zheng Yishui and the others murmured.

"How can he be so strong?" On a mountain peak in the Lingyun Sect, Lian Shuang, with her long, light-blue hair, wore a look of utter astonishment. 'Just what is his background! Is he really the illegitimate son of the Great Tang Emperor?' Though she thought this, she couldn't help but shake her head.

'Even though the Great Tang Emperor is powerful, his offspring shouldn't be this heaven-defying!'

'I should go take a look.' With that thought, Lian Shuang decided to go see Ling Fei for herself.

...

「On a mountain peak in the Beiming Sword Sect.」

A woman in white stood at the edge of a precipice, a Jade Scroll in her palm.

This Jade Scroll recorded what was currently the most explosive news in the Southern Wilderness.

It was the news of Ling Fei single-handedly fighting the Celestial Pill Realm experts from various sects.

And this woman was none other than Shangguan Wan'Er, who had come from the Great Tang Empire and joined the Beiming Sword Sect.

It had been nine months since Shangguan Wan'Er entered the Southern Wilderness, and her entire demeanor had grown colder and nobler.

Standing on the mountain peak, she was like a sharp sword.

Within a month of joining the sect, she had condensed a Sword Intent Seed.

Now, Shangguan Wan'Er had clearly reached the Profound Pill Realm and was about to touch upon the mysteries of the Celestial Pill Realm.

Her talent in the Sword Dao was so great that few in the Beiming Sword Sect could compare.

But at this moment, Shangguan Wan'Er's dark eyebrows were slightly furrowed, a hint of worry clouding her features.
