Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Two Nascent Soul Realm Ancient Crocodiles flew over. Their bodies moved like dragons as their wings beat, stirring up a hurricane. The wind swept forward like a tidal wave.

The tidal wave was accompanied by a boundless, black Essence Qi.

The Essence Qi billowed like a Primordial Sea, blocking the path for Ling Fei and his two companions.

"You and I will each take on one of the Nascent Soul Realm Ancient Crocodiles," Ling Fei said to Lian Shuang.

"Alright!" Lian Shuang nodded. "After I kill this Ancient Crocodile, I’ll cover our rear." Her fighting spirit was fierce, and she was filled with confidence.

Meteor Sword!

As soon as he spoke, Ling Fei put away his Flying Boat. His body became a streak of light, stabbing toward the leading Ancient Crocodile.

SWISH!

Dragon Scales covered Ling Fei’s body as he became one with his sword. Dragon Qi suffused the blade, directly tearing through the surging black Essence Qi ahead.

Just then, the leading Ancient Crocodile roared. Black patterns swirled around its body, transforming into a great river that rolled toward Ling Fei.

This was a Divine Technique. The great river surged forward with an oppressive aura, containing the Mystical of a Divine Technique.

It was a Divine Technique the Ancient Crocodile had comprehended from living in the great river for a long time.

Though it was a great river, it took the form of an Ancient Crocodile as it lunged.

As the Divine Technique’s attack struck, a majestic aura bore down on Ling Fei.

The surrounding Void trembled, and the Essence Qi in all directions dissipated, completely overwhelmed by the might of the attack.

Ling Fei instantly felt himself locked on by an aura. The great river had taken the form of an Ancient Crocodile, but it seemed to contain a will that made one’s heart palpitate.

’A simple strike, yet it takes a tangible form. Is this the Divine Technique of a Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouse?’ Ling Fei’s heart stirred as the aura washed over him.

’It’s clearly a Divine Technique, but it has become tangible and even contains a will.’

This gave him a deeper understanding of Divine Techniques and a clearer picture of the Nascent Soul Realm.

’Imbue a Mystical with will, and it becomes a Divine Technique.’

’Everything comes down to will.’

Ling Fei’s resolve hardened.

His long sword tore through the air. Far from being intimidated by the charging black crocodile, the momentum in his sword grew even stronger.

ROAR!

The long sword thrust forward. Dragon Qi coiled around it, coalescing into a Sword Dragon. A will was imbued within it, and a dragon’s cry rang out.

The dragon’s cry was produced by Ling Fei’s will, yet it sounded like a real dragon—a sign that he was on the verge of transforming his own technique into a Divine Technique.

This single move had clearly reached the level of the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm.

The long sword pierced the sky, and the dragon of Sword Qi immediately pounced on the Ancient Crocodile formed from black Essence Qi.

BANG!

The Ancient Crocodile and the Sword Dragon clashed. A massive explosion rocked the area. The black Ancient Crocodile shattered, and the Sword Dragon dissipated along with it.

But Ling Fei’s long sword, its momentum like a rainbow, tore through the Void and continued its assault.

Across from him, the black essence dissipated, but the Ancient Crocodile’s massive tail whipped viciously toward Ling Fei.

Beneath the massive tail, sonic booms echoed as the Void itself seemed to shatter inch by inch.

The power of this single strike seemed capable of crushing mountains and rivers.

However, Ling Fei’s long sword was unbelievably fast. It shot straight through the black Essence Qi, stabbing forward, completely ignoring the crocodile’s tail.

Ling Fei’s will had completely merged with the Mystical of Meteor, making this strike incomparably fast.

"So fast!" Even the Ancient Crocodile revealed a look of shock at such speed.

But in the midst of its surprise, Ling Fei’s long sword had already arrived.

Caught off guard, the Ancient Crocodile moved its massive claw to intercept Ling Fei.

BANG!

As its giant claw shot out, a boundless black Essence Qi manifested a hundred-foot-wide crocodile palm that descended, its digits opening and closing as if to seize Ling Fei.

It was accompanied by an immense amount of black Essence Qi.

Strands of that tyrannical Essence Qi rained down on Ling Fei like sharp blades.

Although it was a simple strike, its power was enough to crush many Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators.

But Ling Fei’s long sword pierced directly through the Essence Qi and clashed with the black crocodile palm.

BANG!

Wherever the sword light passed, the crocodile palm shattered, utterly unable to withstand Ling Fei’s strike.

’What a sharp strike. This human is actually this powerful.’ As the attack manifested from its giant palm dissipated, the Ancient Crocodile’s body hastily retreated.

Fortunately, since it was the manifested Divine Technique attack that clashed with Ling Fei, the crocodile itself was unharmed, so it was not a major issue.

The Ancient Crocodile retreated far away, and Ling Fei’s Sword Momentum also weakened as he stood suspended in the air.

On the other side, Lian Shuang also attacked forcefully, repelling a Nascent Soul Realm Ancient Crocodile and displaying astonishing strength.

Shangguan Wan’Er, holding her Spirit Sword, also charged into the fray.

She was surrounded by a group of Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm Ancient Crocodiles.

But Shangguan Wan’Er was fearless, possessing an aura that could cut down any obstacle.

Her every strike was sharper than before, her aura more decisive.

Ever since she committed to being with Ling Fei, her Dao heart had become clear and her mind free of reservations. Her sword strikes had become purer.

’Wan’Er’s attainments in the Sword Dao are constantly improving.’ Ling Fei extended his Heart Spirit Sensing and immediately noticed the change in Shangguan Wan’Er.

"Kill!" Lian Shuang muttered beside him. A Sword Lotus spun around her, forming a vortex that directly trapped the Nascent Soul Realm Ancient Crocodile.

Then, she slashed with the long sword in her hand and charged. How could a Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator possess such an aura!

Even some Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators might not have an aura as powerful as hers.

This was the difference with a Sword Dao expert.

Her attainments in the Sword Dao far surpassed ordinary people; her combat strength could no longer be underestimated.

’This is good, too.’ Seeing Shangguan Wan’Er’s strength continuously improving, Ling Fei breathed a sigh of relief. ’First, I’ll deal with this Nascent Soul Realm Ancient Crocodile.’

With a move of his body, he shot toward the Ancient Crocodile like a flash of rainbow light across the Void.

Upon reaching the Profound Pill Realm, one could fly through the air.

After reaching the Celestial Pill Realm, a Cultivator could stand suspended in the air.

This time, Ling Fei attacked with his full power. He slashed out, and a Sword River descended, tearing the Void before him.

The Ancient Crocodile roared, condensed a powerful attack, and charged toward Ling Fei.

But the Ancient Crocodile was, after all, just a Demon Beast. It had no Weapon to aid it. Its advantages were its powerful Soul Power and immense Essence Qi.

Ling Fei’s Soul Power was very strong. His only slight disadvantage at the moment was his Essence Qi.

Of course, a Nascent Soul Realm’s control over Divine Techniques was at a greater level of Perfection, not something Ling Fei could compare to.

But with the help of a Profound Spirit Treasure, Ling Fei had seemingly compensated for this shortcoming.

At the same time, through continuous combat, Ling Fei’s control over the Sword Dao was also constantly improving.

Celestial River Sword!

He slashed his long sword, and it transformed into a Celestial River that descended.

BANG!

The Ancient Crocodile’s attack was instantly crushed.

However, many Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm Ancient Crocodiles were flying over from the side, attacking Ling Fei.

Sword Transformation Star Arrow!

As those Ancient Crocodiles attacked, Ling Fei brandished his long sword. The Sword Qi, like Star Arrows, knocked back all the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm Ancient Crocodiles.

"Damn human, to think you have such strength! However, this king refuses to believe you can maintain this level of combat power indefinitely! Children, kill him! Deplete his Essence Qi, and we will be able to slay him. Once we take his Plaque, we can break the Restriction and enter the depths of this Sealed Land!" the Nascent Soul Realm Ancient Crocodile roared.

It wasn’t in a hurry to have a decisive battle with Ling Fei. It just had the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm Ancient Crocodiles continuously attack him to deplete his Essence Qi.

As for this Crocodile King, it also engaged Ling Fei from a distance, using its Divine Techniques.

As a result, even though Ling Fei could match this Ancient Crocodile, defeating or even killing it would not be so easy.

Because he also had to deal with the attacks from the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm Ancient Crocodiles.

Ling Fei was naturally aware of the Ancient Crocodile’s intentions.

However, he wasn’t anxious either. He also needed these Ancient Crocodiles as practice to temper his Sword Dao Mystical.

Meteor Sword Rain!

After crushing the Nascent Soul Ancient Crocodile’s attack once more, Ling Fei brandished his long sword, unleashing streams of Sword Qi.

All of this Sword Qi contained Ling Fei’s will, striking the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm Ancient Crocodiles with extreme precision.

At the same time, the Sword Qi pierced the Void while containing the True Dragon Momentum. If an Ancient Crocodile was hit, its body was pierced through.

The tyrannical aura made many of the Ancient Crocodiles’ eyes fill with dread.

One had to know, their bodies were covered in scales comparable to top-tier Treasure Armor!

’I’ve pretty much mastered my various Mysticals now. It’s time to kill this Nascent Soul Realm Ancient Crocodile in one fell swoop.’ After repelling the crocodiles, Ling Fei was quite satisfied with the improvement in his strength. With a thought, he decided to deal with the Nascent Soul Realm Ancient Crocodile first.

If this dragged on and his Pill Essence and Soul Power were too depleted, he would no longer be able to support his control over the Profound Spirit Sword and his Divine Technique Sword Dao Mystical. Forget about killing the Ancient Crocodile; even escaping would become a problem. Therefore, he had to resolve the Crocodile King while he still had the strength.

’But this Ancient Crocodile is a Nascent Soul Realm existence, after all. Killing it will take some effort,’ Ling Fei mused to himself.

After all, if a Nascent Soul Realm existence were to fight to the death, the consequences would be hard for even Ling Fei to predict. He had to be careful.

At this moment, the Crocodile King attacked again.

Its giant palm shot out, Essence Qi condensing and manifesting a beast’s paw that descended from the sky.

The Crocodile King always took advantage of opportunities to strike, hoping to crush Ling Fei.

Furthermore, it remained at a distance, and even its attacks were manifested Divine Techniques, making it extremely difficult for Ling Fei to harm its true body.

’I can feign weakness first to make the Crocodile King careless, then deliver a thunderous blow to kill it in one go,’ Ling Fei thought as the Crocodile King attacked.

’Yes, that’s what I’ll do.’ With that thought, Ling Fei immediately made his move. He held his long sword, his body like a streak of rainbow light, and stabbed toward the giant palm manifested by the Crocodile King.

BANG!

The giant palm descended, wreathed in black Essence Qi that seemed to envelop the world, emitting a terrifying aura.

But wherever Ling Fei’s long sword passed, it pierced right through.

However, as the Crocodile King’s palm dissipated, a vast, black shockwave swept out, and Ling Fei’s body was sent flying.

His Blood Qi roiled in his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, the Blood Qi in his body was in disarray, making him look injured.

’He’s injured!’ When Ling Fei was sent flying, the Crocodile King’s eyes flashed with a savage glint.

"This king will kill you in one fell swoop." The Crocodile King’s gaze was savage.

As it spoke, Light Patterns flickered all over its body. Its Essence Qi condensed, transforming it into a hundred-meter-long giant crocodile.

Its body seemed to merge with its Divine Technique, and its aura soared. It was clearly preparing to attack with its full power to kill Ling Fei in one blow and seize his Plaque.

Kill!

The Crocodile King let out a low roar.

Then, its massive body flew toward Ling Fei like a Winged Dragon. Its giant claw shot out, swatting at the backward-flying Ling Fei.

In addition, its aura was tightly locked onto the area ahead. With just a thought, its tail could also deliver all sorts of thunderous strikes against Ling Fei.
