Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Even the Ao Qian Dragon King watched with admiration as Ling Fei merged with the bloodline pattern.

After all, Ling Fei was not yet eighteen, but his mental fortitude surpassed that of Cultivators who had trained for a hundred years.

'If he can merge with this bloodline pattern and control my Divine Gaze, his future will be limitless.' Beyond his shock, Ao Qian was also filled with anticipation.

"Perhaps this young man can truly live up to my hopes, transcend to godhood, and take part in the great worldly calamity!" Ao Qian murmured.

'If he can truly do it, then my act of leaving this Divine Gaze behind will have been worthwhile.'

At this thought, the Ao Qian Dragon King broke into a knowing smile.

He had only left his legacy behind because he didn't want his enemies to obtain his Divine Gaze.

He hadn't given much thought before as to whether his successor could take part in such a great worldly calamity.

The Cultivation Dao was simply too difficult, and reaching its peak was an immense challenge.

Yet now, for some unknown reason, seeing Ling Fei's unwavering determination gave rise to a sliver of hope in his heart.

The idea still seemed remote and uncertain, but at least there was now a glimmer of hope.

'He's about to succeed!' Just as the Ao Qian Dragon King was pondering this, his gaze sharpened, and he stared intently ahead.

After countless attempts, on his eighteenth try to merge with the bloodline pattern, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit finally fused into the True Dragon Bloodline pattern.

The Dragon Pattern ceased its rejection, becoming completely compatible with Ling Fei's Heart Spirit.

At that moment, the feeling of having control over the Dragon Pattern flooded his mind.

However, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit was utterly exhausted, a testament to just how arduous it had been to merge with the bloodline pattern.

After all, Ling Fei had tempered his soul with Dragon Blood Qi, and his Power of Soul was already exceptionally strong.

Even so, he had still failed seventeen times. One could only imagine the immense pain Ling Fei had to endure to finally succeed.

"Good. The next step is to merge this bloodline pattern into the Eye of Destruction. Once you do, you will have preliminary control over this Divine Gaze," the Ao Qian Dragon King said, unable to hold back his praise.

"Yes!" Ling Fei felt a surge of excitement.

With a thought, he directed the True Dragon Bloodline pattern toward the floating Eye of Destruction in front of him.

HUMMM!

At the same time, Dao Patterns flickered across the Eye of Destruction as Dragon Qi swirled around it, resonating with the incoming pattern.

The Eye of Destruction seemed to sense the familiar Bloodline Power.

Dao Patterns flowed across the Eye of Destruction, forming a Qi Vortex that drew the bloodline pattern in.

The bloodline pattern was then absorbed into the Destruction Divine Gaze. Through his connection to the pattern, Ling Fei immediately sensed a dense Aura of Destruction. The aura writhed and raged like a frenzied dragon, letting out a roar that sounded just like a True Dragon.

A wave of destructive might made his very soul tremble. His Heart Spirit felt as if it could shatter at any moment. The sensation was terrifying.

Fortunately, under the protection of the bloodline pattern, his Heart Spirit wasn't annihilated by the destructive presence.

Instead, as the bloodline pattern continued to merge with the Destruction Divine Gaze, Ling Fei felt his Heart Spirit grow strangely familiar with the destructive aura.

'The Ao Qian Dragon King's bloodline pattern is continuously merging with the Eye of Destruction. This means my Heart Spirit is merging with it as well.'

Amid his astonishment, Ling Fei clearly perceived the changes occurring within his Heart Spirit.

A surge of joy went through him as he felt this transformation.

It meant he was gradually fusing with the Eye of Destruction.

This laid the foundation for him to control the Eye of Destruction in the future.

VMM!

Finally, with a flash, the bloodline pattern completely merged into the Eye of Destruction. Ling Fei's Heart Spirit spread out, permeating the divine eye's interior.

The Aura of Destruction raged right beside his Heart Spirit.

Beyond that, fragmented Dao Patterns appeared clearly before him, emitting a profound and vast aura.

'Are these the patterns of the Great Dao?' Ling Fei wondered.

The Dao Patterns were so complex and profound that he couldn't grasp their Mystical truths.

VMM!

The Eye of Destruction hummed in response. Within it, True Dragon Essence Blood activated and fused with the bloodline pattern, and by extension, with Ling Fei's Heart Spirit.

The feeling of a true, blood-deep connection to the Eye of Destruction washed over him.

However, his Heart Spirit felt incredibly heavy.

The Eye of Destruction was simply too powerful for his weak Heart Spirit to support.

He found it extremely difficult to even channel a single trace of the Power within the Eye of Destruction.

That immense Power became a burden. The flowing Dao Pattern Power oppressed his Heart Spirit to the point where it felt like it would collapse.

Left with no choice, he quickly abandoned any thought of trying to control the Power within the Eye of Destruction.

Only then did the pressure on his Heart Spirit gradually lessen.

But he couldn't forget the suffocating pressure he had just experienced.

'My own power is still too low. I can't activate the Power within this Eye of Destruction at all,' Ling Fei thought. 'I have to keep getting stronger.'

Only by becoming powerful enough could he hope to wield this Divine Gaze.

Otherwise, even possessing the Divine Gaze, he could only look on in helpless admiration.

VMM!

「At that very moment, in a distant land.」

Here, mountains stretched as far as the eye could see. Magnificent palaces dotted the slopes, and even more impressive were the pavilions that floated in the air like Divine Platforms, radiating a soft, colorful glow.

Occasionally, Spiritual Cranes could be seen circling overhead.

Inside a grotto suffused with Spiritual Qi, the eyelid of a seated, white-haired old man twitched violently.

Between his brows, Dao Patterns suddenly swirled like a writhing dragon, and a third eye materialized out of thin air.

The moment this eye appeared, terrifying ripples spread through the Void, and a wave of True Dragon's Might swept forth.

HUMMM!

Dragon Qi filled the eye, threatening to burst out like a True Dragon, accompanied by the faint sound of draconic roars.

It was as if it had been drawn by a bloodline connection, creating a resonance.

VMM!

This strange disturbance caused the white-haired old man, whose aura was gentle yet held a restrained Divine Might, to snap open his eyes.

The man's surname was Liu, his given name Ji, and he was known as King Ji.

'The Destiny Divine Gaze is stirring, as if drawn by a bloodline connection. What's happening?' A cold, profound light flashed in King Ji's eyes, sharp as a blade slicing through the Void to gaze upon a distant land. 'Could it be a bloodline resonance caused by Xiang Shaoyun's Eye of Destruction?'

At the mention of Xiang Shaoyun, King Ji's expression turned grim.

At the same time, his Heart Spirit involuntarily turned inward, sensing something within his body.

Hidden within his body was a wisp of gray aura.

This wisp of gray aura was like a miniature True Dragon. Though he had it suppressed, the Power it contained was a source of immense trouble for King Ji.

This gray aura was the very Aura of Destruction left inside him after the Marsh King had pushed the Eye of Destruction to its limit, unleashing a Divine Technique that had wounded him.

This Aura of Destruction contained a trace of a Destruction Dao Pattern, making it extremely difficult to eradicate.

For the past thousand years, King Ji had tried every method imaginable but had failed to eliminate this wisp of the Aura of Destruction.

However, after a millennium of wearing it down, the Destruction Dao Pattern had gradually weakened, and King Ji was finally able to keep it suppressed.

Not only that, but his thousand-year struggle against this Destruction Pattern had actually caused his power to increase rather than decline. His control over the Destiny Divine Gaze had also become much smoother than before.

He had even gained insight into a trace of the Mystical of Life from within the Destiny Divine Gaze.

King Ji had believed that with just a little more time, he could completely erase the Destruction Pattern.

Then, he would be able to focus wholeheartedly on mastering the Destiny Divine Gaze.

However, the current stirring of his Divine Gaze filled him with a sudden sense of unease.

"Although I haven't fully mastered the Destiny Divine Gaze, I've spent the last thousand years comprehending its Mystical truths and have gained some understanding of the Path of Destiny. Very well, let's see if it's truly the Marsh King's Eye of Destruction that is pulling at my Destiny Divine Gaze," King Ji murmured.
