Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

On the stage, Zheng Zelong had to regulate his breathing for several moments before he could struggle to his feet.

Seeing this, the crowd below knew he was seriously injured.

"I have lost this battle." Zheng Zelong rose, took out his Plaque, and conceded defeat.

As he was now, he no longer had any strength to fight.

In fact, his injuries were so severe that he couldn’t continue to fight anyone else.

With Zheng Zelong’s concession, Ling Fei flicked his wrist. The Inscription Pattern on it activated, pulling over another Inscription Pattern.

And with that, he won the battle.

Zheng Zelong walked off the battle stage in a miserable state.

Watching him go, many people couldn’t help but gasp.

"It was Zheng Zelong’s misfortune to run into Ling the Pill Master!" many people whispered.

After his victory, Ling Fei returned to the Waiting Battle Platform.

Once enough people were on the platforms and the time came, the Plaques activated once more.

’Please, don’t let me get matched with Ling the Pill Master!’

’It’ll be a disaster if I have to face Ling the Pill Master!’ As the Plaques activated, every one of the geniuses muttered under their breath, praying they wouldn’t be matched with Ling Fei.

The scene was rather amusing.

Just before, during Ling Fei’s battle with Zhu Wei, every last one of them had been cursing the heavens, wishing for nothing more than a chance to fight Ling Fei.

But now, in the blink of an eye, they had all changed their tune.

’Am I really that terrifying?’ Ling Fei was speechless.

A flash of Light Patterns appeared, and Ling Fei was pulled onto a battle stage.

This time, his opponent was from Thousand Lakes Mountain.

He was also a genius, by the name of Wen Qianye, the top-ranked prodigy of Thousand Lakes Mountain’s current generation.

He had originally wanted to seek revenge on Ling Fei, but after witnessing his true strength, he had given up on the idea.

Now, as he stood facing Ling Fei, his expression was complicated.

In his heart, he desperately wanted revenge, but he knew he was powerless to get it.

"Senior Brother Qianye, go for it! Avenge Senior Brother Qianshan!" Just as Wen Qianye was staring at Ling Fei with a complicated expression, someone in the crowd below shouted.

It was someone from Thousand Lakes Mountain, cheering Wen Qianye on.

Hearing this, Wen Qianye’s face darkened on the stage. He was on the verge of cursing out loud.

’Didn’t you see that Zheng Zelong was nearly crippled just now?’

’Avenge him?’

But he couldn’t bring himself to say anything.

After all, he was the number one genius of Thousand Lakes Mountain. How could he show any sign of fear or retreat?

"Senior Brother Qianye, we believe in you!" people from below the stage kept shouting.

Under the pressure of their cheers, Wen Qianye could only lift his head, put on a stern expression, and stare at Ling Fei. Steeling himself, he said, "I am Wen Qianye of Thousand Lakes Mountain. Wen Qianshan was my clan brother. He died because of you. Today, I will avenge him." He spoke each word deliberately.

However, his tone made it sound like he was just going through the motions, completely lacking any real, unyielding determination.

"Wen Qianye?" Ling Fei arched an eyebrow. "You want revenge too? Fine. In that case, give me your best shot!"

Ling Fei held his Spirit Sword, folded his arms across his chest, and simply watched Wen Qianye, looking completely at ease.

This casual posture made Wen Qianye’s eyelids twitch.

’This Ling Fei is clearly looking down on me!’

But he had no confidence in defeating Ling Fei, so he had no way to vent his anger.

"This Ling Fei is too arrogant! Senior Brother Qianye, you have to teach him a lesson!"

"Defeat him and display the might of our Thousand Lakes Mountain!"

"Senior Brother Qianye, we’re right behind you, cheering you on!"

"Senior Brother Qianye, we’ll be your strongest supporters!" The disciples of Thousand Lakes Mountain cheered Wen Qianye on one after another.

But as these cheers fell on Wen Qianye’s ears, he couldn’t shake the feeling that someone in that crowd was trying to set him up.

’Who on earth is trying to get me killed?’ Wen Qianye turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the disciples from Thousand Lakes Mountain.

"Senior Brother Qianye, you have to believe in yourself!" But as Wen Qianye’s gaze swept over them, the disciples’ shouts only grew louder.

’Believe in myself? Damn it, why don’t you come up here and get revenge on Ling Fei yourselves?’ Seeing this, Wen Qianye felt like crying.

He genuinely didn’t want to avenge anyone.

But as the number one genius of Thousand Lakes Mountain’s current generation, he couldn’t show the slightest hint of cowardice.

Otherwise, how could he maintain his standing in Thousand Lakes Mountain? How could he ever become the future Lake Master?

With a sense of resignation, his gaze hardened, and a powerful aura immediately erupted from his body.

A dense wave of Pill Essence spread out, swirling like Water Essence.

Yet this Water Essence also carried a heavy pressure, as if it could crush the Void itself.

The Wen Clan of Thousand Lakes Mountain possessed not only the Water Essence Spirit Body but also the Earth Spirit Body. By cultivating two Mystical arts, their strength was exceedingly formidable.

Now, as the Water Essence condensed, intermixed with Dao Patterns, Wen Qianye’s aura grew steadily stronger.

WHOOSH!

The next moment, he flipped his palm, and a Spirit Seal materialized before him.

It was a Mountain and River Seal.

Within the Mountain and River Seal, it was as if a great lake existed, filled with overlapping mountains and rivers.

With the Spirit Seal before him, Wen Qianye immediately poured his dense Pill Essence into it. At the same time, a Mystical power of mountains and rivers fused into the seal.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Guided by Wen Qianye, the Mountain and River Seal spun in the Void, instantly transforming into a Giant Seal a hundred feet tall. It truly looked as if mountains and rivers were churning within it. A vast ripple of power pulsed outward, making the Void ahead tremble like a terrifying wave, making it hard to even keep one’s footing.

"Wen Qianye used Thousand Lakes Mountain’s Mountain and River Seal right from the start! It looks like he’s really serious about avenging his brother!" Many people’s expressions shifted.

"That’s our Senior Brother Qianye!" The people from Thousand Lakes Mountain were ecstatic.

On the stage, Wen Qianye’s gaze narrowed. With a gesture of his hands, the Mountain and River Seal descended upon Ling Fei.

At the same time, he flipped his palm to reveal a long spear, and his body shot forward like a rainbow, thrusting toward his target.

It was clear he intended to strike with his full power, hoping to catch Ling Fei off guard and kill him.

"The Mountain and River Seal?" Ling Fei looked up at the massive seal pressing down on him.

Light Patterns flickered across the Spirit Seal. It was as if a great river was crashing down, and the majestic ripples of water completely enveloped his position.

A mere Spirit Seal had transformed into a world of mountains and rivers. Only a Cultivator at the Celestial Pill Perfection Realm could unleash its power to such a degree.

Beneath the Spirit Seal, Ling Fei had almost no room to retreat.

Behind the Mountain and River Seal, Wen Qianye himself charged forward, spear in hand. The long spear moved like a startling rainbow, giving off a sense of utter Perfection.

’Celestial Pill Perfection?’ Sensing the nature of Wen Qianye’s attack, Ling Fei’s heart stirred. He perceived a certain quality that was absent in the Celestial Pill Great Success Realm.

It was the state where one’s Mystical arts and one’s body achieved perfect fusion.

The Mystical arts and the self were in perfect fusion, indistinguishable from one another.

An attack like this seemed flawless.

’So this is Celestial Pill Perfection?’ As Ling Fei pondered this, his own state of mind began to change inexplicably.

Then, his gaze lifted, and he struck.

Heaven-Reaching Hand, First Form: Void-Shattering!

Ling Fei’s hand shot out, striking toward the Mountain and River Seal.

As his palm extended, Dragon Scales instantly covered it. A wave of Dragon’s Might radiated outward, making the hearts of many watching Cultivators leap in their chests.

"Is that the True Dragon Hand?" Many people’s pupils constricted as they stared intently at the Void ahead.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the dragon hand struck the air. Wherever it passed, the Void trembled, and the River of Pill Essence erupting from the Mountain and River Seal crumbled.

Then, the True Dragon Hand passed through the great river, its fingers like a sword, and stabbed into the descending Spirit Seal.

BANG!

A tremendous crash echoed out. Everyone watched as the Giant Seal, which seemed to contain mountains and rivers, abruptly shattered. An astonishing Power of Mountains and Rivers raged out in all directions.

"The Mountain and River Seal was shattered?"

"But... that’s a Top Level Spiritual Treasure! It was shattered that easily?"

Staring at the shattered Mountain and River Seal, all the Cultivators below were stunned.

The people from Thousand Lakes Mountain in particular stared at the battle stage, their faces etched with utter disbelief.

Their Senior Brother Qianye was the number one expert of their generation, yet his all-out attack had been crushed so casually. How could they accept this?
