Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Once the top ten had been decided, the competition immediately began again.

"The top ten have emerged. The next round, then, will be the fight for the top five." The disciples from the various sects watched the geniuses on the stage, their faces filled with anticipation.

These ten were all geniuses rarely seen in a generation. Who among them would make it into the top three?

"Next match, begin!" Vice Sect Leader Jiang’s face was also full of anticipation as he announced in a loud voice.

At this moment, the Sect Leaders of every sect were staring intently at the geniuses on the stage.

The fight for the top five was clearly a battle between the true, top-tier geniuses.

And now, Ling Fei was about to clash with one of these top-tier geniuses. Could he remain as unstoppable as he had been before?

Ling Fei activated his Plaque. With a flash of Light Patterns, he landed on the tournament stage.

Then, a bald-headed monk appeared before his eyes.

"Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple, Yuan Tan!" Upon seeing this person, Ling Fei’s gaze narrowed. His expression held a trace of gravity, as well as a hint of anticipation.

Because this Yuan Tan cultivated the Great Sun Golden Body, his strength was extremely high, even among the top ten. Ling Fei felt a slight sense of excitement at the prospect of fighting him.

This Yuan Tan wore a Cyan Kasaya. His head was round and shiny, and his eyebrows were thick and prominent, giving him a dignified appearance.

Monk Yuan Tan placed his palms together, a slight smile on his face, and said to Ling Fei, "This humble monk, Yuan Tan, asks Ling the Pill Master for his guidance." His voice was ethereal, as if detached from the mortal world, yet it carried an invisible, inviolable dignity.

"I have long heard of the profound Buddhist Teachings of the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple. I hope Brother Yuan Tan will enlighten me today." Ling Fei cupped his hands and smiled.

"Please!" Yuan Tan extended his long, slender hand. A faint golden luster appeared on his palm.

The luster was like golden light, dazzling to the eye.

This was a characteristic of cultivating the Great Sun Golden Body.

"Please!" Seeing this, Ling Fei’s gaze narrowed. The Blood Qi within his body began to circulate, ready to strike at any moment.

Facing a top-ten genius like this, Ling Fei did not dare to be careless.

"Good!" Hearing this, Yuan Tan’s eyes flashed, and he laughed out loud. "This humble monk has long heard of the unrivaled dominance of the Great Tang Empire’s True Dragon Hand. Few Martial Arts can compare. It’s a pity I’ve never had the chance to witness it. Today, this humble monk will use my Buddhist Sect’s Great Sun Vajra Hand to spar with you and see which is stronger!"

As his words fell, the Light Patterns on his palm grew even brighter. It was as if Buddhist light was blooming, yet it was as sharp as a sword.

’Great Sun Vajra Hand?’ Ling Fei’s gaze narrowed. It was just a palm, yet it shimmered like a sharp blade, revealing its extraordinary nature.

Then, the True Dragon Blood Qi in his body circulated. Dragon Scales appeared on his hand as he fully manifested the True Dragon Hand.

Dragon Qi coiled around his arm, and his Blood Qi surged to the heavens, as if numerous True Dragons were bursting forth from his body. The Dragon’s Might they released was terrifying.

Wisps of Dragon Qi wrapped around Ling Fei, making him seem as if he were surrounded by True Dragons. The aura he exuded attracted the attention of countless Cultivators.

DONG!

At that very moment, Yuan Tan took a large stride forward, his hand chopping toward Ling Fei like a blade.

SWISH!

From a distance, one could only see a streak of golden light cut through the Void, accompanied by a sharp gale, leaving a graceful arc in its wake.

It moved so fast that it was already in front of Ling Fei before anyone could react, leaving the Cultivators below the stage dumbfounded.

"Such a fast hand-chop!"

"A simple move, yet it contains so much Mystical power!" The geniuses from the various sects trembled internally, only now understanding how truly terrifying these prodigies were.

ROAR!

The hand-blade chopped down, shining with brilliant golden light, so bright it stung the eyes. Faced with such an attack, even Ling Fei couldn’t help but tense up. His True Dragon Hand shot forward to meet the blow. A dragon’s cry echoed out, carried on the erupting Dragon Qi.

BANG!

Then, the True Dragon Hand clashed with the Vajra Hand.

DING!

The two palms collided, yet they produced the sound of metal striking metal. The crisp sound rang throughout the arena, causing looks of astonishment to appear on everyone’s faces.

’Just how powerful must their physical bodies be?’ The Cultivators stared intently at the battle stage.

Just a single palm, yet it was like a sharp blade. They had clearly reached a level unimaginable to ordinary people.

However, just as the crowd was reeling in shock, they saw an incandescent burst of light erupt at the moment the two hands collided.

BANG!

The Dragon Qi on Ling Fei’s True Dragon Hand condensed, forming what looked like a True Dragon that charged forward.

On Yuan Tan’s side, golden light surged up his arm and bloomed, transforming into what seemed to be a golden sun that pressed down with suppressing force.

"Qi Condensation and Dragon Transformation!"

"Golden Radiance Like the Sun!"

"They’re on the verge of using Divine Techniques!" Cries of alarm rang out.

Celestial Pill Realm Cultivators condense and control Mystical power.

After mastering Mystical power, the next step is to evolve Divine Techniques.

And now, Ling Fei and Yuan Tan were clearly showing signs of evolving their own Divine Techniques.

BANG!

Amid the cries of shock, the golden Qi Dragon and the great sun collided, releasing a terrifying shockwave. The very Void in that area exploded.

Dazzlingly brilliant light swept out in all directions, magnificent and completely enveloping Ling Fei and Yuan Tan.

Within the light, the aftershocks surged with savage force. Ling Fei’s True Dragon Hand recoiled, and he quickly pulled it back.

’What a hard palm.’ He retreated back several steps in quick succession. As he looked forward, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

In the earlier exchange, he could clearly feel the hardness of Yuan Tan’s palm. It was completely comparable to a Top Level Spiritual Treasure, which was astonishing.

One must understand that his True Dragon Hand was so powerful entirely because it had been tempered by the True Dragon Refining God Technique and True Dragon Blood Qi.

But Yuan Tan... how had he reached this level?

’So strong. His True Dragon Hand contains a powerful Mystical Art that completely crushed the power of my own Mystical Art.’ On the other side, Yuan Tan also retreated repeatedly. As he looked ahead, waves of shock rippled through his eyes. He was even more stunned than Ling Fei.

He could even feel his palm tingling and going numb.

The immense power that had surged into him felt like it was about to make the blood vessels in his hand burst.

This left Monk Yuan Tan utterly shaken.

He knew that at the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple, those who cultivated the Vajra Body had to temper themselves by soaking in a special Golden Liquid Flame Pool to become this powerful.

He found it hard to imagine how his opponent’s True Dragon Hand could be even stronger than his own.

The Mystical Art within it had even crushed the heaven-tearing Mystical Art of his Vajra Hand.

It was difficult for him to remain calm.

One had to understand that the Great Sun Vajra Hand was a supreme Divine Technique and Martial Art of the Buddhist Sect!

When the Vajra Hand was used, it could tear heaven and earth.

The great sun it manifested even possessed a scorching power that could dissolve and incinerate an opponent’s attacks.

Yuan Tan was exceptionally talented and had clearly mastered the Mystical Art of the Great Sun Vajra Hand. Among those at the same level, very few could compete with him.

Both retreated, and both were somewhat surprised.

After staring at each other for a moment, Ling Fei and Yuan Tan both took a deep breath and began to gather their power. It was clear that neither of them was underestimating the other.

As his aura surged, Yuan Tan flipped his hand and produced a Demon-Subduing Pestle. Golden light erupted from his body, making him look like a vajra warrior descending upon the mortal world.

His aura became fierce and domineering.
