Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

BANG!

As the massive explosion rang out, the crowd saw the Light Shield surrounding Xu Zitao shatter. The ray of destruction struck his Nether Armor directly.

In just an instant, the ray of destruction pierced through the Nether Armor and went straight through Xu Zitao’s heart.

Then, Xu Zitao’s entire body exploded, completely annihilated by the astonishing power.

AHHH!

A bloodcurdling scream echoed as Xu Zitao’s Nascent Soul was engulfed by a wave of destructive power. His life force dissipated, fading into nothingness.

He had fallen!

The Nether Armor was indeed extraordinary, but it was no Divine Soldier. It was even several grades lower than the Five Elements Sky-Splitting Disc.

Now that Ling Fei had burned his Divine Soul Origin and True Dragon Essence Blood to activate the Divine Power within his Eye of Destruction, how could any ordinary item possibly withstand it?

’He’s dead!’ Seeing Xu Zitao and his armor blasted to pieces, Ling Fei let out a sigh of relief. But at that moment, he felt an overwhelming exhaustion.

Ling Fei’s cultivation was still too low. Forcibly activating the power within his Destruction Divine Gaze was undoubtedly a massive burden on him.

Even burning his Divine Soul Power was not enough.

Still, with Xu Zitao’s fall, he had at least made some progress.

"He’s dead! Xu Zitao is dead!"

"He finally killed him!" On the North Spirit Platform, the Cultivators from the various Sects were all elated when they saw Xu Zitao’s body explode.

Ling Fei had attacked several times before without success. Now that he had achieved something, they finally saw a glimmer of hope.

"Zitao is dead?" On the North Spirit Platform, Beiming Huahai’s pupils suddenly shrank. ’This Ling Fei actually has such guts!’

The scene before them had unfolded in a mere instant.

He hadn’t expected Ling Fei to be so decisive, burning his Bloodline Power and Divine Soul Power to launch an attack.

After all, if it were him, he truly wouldn’t have been willing to do such a thing.

To a Cultivator, death wasn’t frightening. What was frightening was being alive but unable to advance another inch because one’s foundation was destroyed.

However, Beiming Huahai didn’t panic too much.

As far as he was concerned, Xu Zitao’s death was irrelevant, as his mission was clearly complete.

So, after a moment of surprise, Beiming Huahai’s gaze returned to the Sealing Demon Platform up ahead.

At this moment, a huge gap had appeared in the Seal on the Sealing Demon Platform, which was formed from the interweaving Five Elements. Demonic Qi was continuously raging out from within.

The Kunpeng Ancestor had even burned some of its Power of Origin to forcefully struggle against Emperor Xi’s suppression, trying to let a wisp of its Split Soul escape.

Under the assault of the Demonic Qi, the crack in the Seal on the Sealing Demon Platform still showed no signs of closing.

Meanwhile, Ling Fei was almost completely exhausted. His body was knocked to the ground by the aftershock of his own attack.

"Ling Fei!" Shangguan Wan’Er cried out, rushing forward to catch him.

Ling Fei steadied himself and immediately swallowed an Elixir to stabilize and regulate the energy within his body.

Nearby, below the Array Platform, Lian Shuang’s face was haggard. She was far from her peak power.

Seeing Ling Fei risk everything in his attack, her feelings were incredibly complicated.

Evidently, she also hadn’t expected Ling Fei to go so far as to burn his own origin to attack.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Meanwhile, on the Sealing Demon Platform, Demonic Qi roiled and a terrifying aura swept out in all directions. The pulsating energy was deeply worrying.

Ling Fei landed, but his gaze fell upon Lian Shuang ahead.

She was coughing up blood, clearly having been caught in the aftershock. If this continued, she would most likely perish here.

"Yiyi, go and save her." Ling Fei immediately commanded Yiyi to rescue Lian Shuang.

Yiyi had wanted to act several times earlier.

But the power Xu Zitao had displayed was too great, so Ling Fei hadn’t allowed it to intervene.

At that time, even if Yiyi had joined the fight, it would have been difficult to change the situation. It might even have died in vain.

Ling Fei didn’t want to let the little one put itself in danger and make a pointless sacrifice again.

Back at the Xiling Ruins, Ling Fei already owed the little one his life.

This time, Ling Fei wanted to shoulder the burden himself.

YA!

Hearing Ling Fei’s command, Yiyi chirped and immediately flew out of the Dragon Bone Space. Its body flashed, piercing through the Void to appear below the Array Platform.

Then, with a sweep of its tiny paw, it grabbed the faintly breathing Lian Shuang and flew back.

When Lian Shuang and Yiyi landed beside Ling Fei, his brows furrowed tightly.

Countless meridians within Lian Shuang’s body were now broken. Her Essence Qi was in chaos, and her Nascent Soul was feeble. She truly couldn’t withstand another single blow.

Ling Fei quickly had Lian Shuang swallow an Elixir.

As her aura recovered slightly, Lian Shuang’s long eyelashes fluttered. She glanced at Ling Fei beside her, and a rare smile graced her lips.

Lian Shuang seemed to have no regrets about her reckless actions from moments before.

"Thank you for your help just now, Senior Sister." Seeing the smile on her lips, Ling Fei took a deep breath and spoke with utmost sincerity.

Thinking back, he still couldn’t forget the moment Lian Shuang launched her sneak attack on Xu Zitao.

That blue-haired woman, like a soaring immortal with her sword, had thrust toward Xu Zitao without a hint of hesitation. How much courage must that have taken?

That scene was already deeply seared into Ling Fei’s mind.

Even Shangguan Wan’Er, who stood beside him, couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Her gaze toward Lian Shuang now held a bit more concern.

Lian Shuang’s earlier sneak attack on Xu Zitao was an act that even Shangguan Wan’Er had to admire.

Now, she couldn’t muster even a trace of hostility toward Lian Shuang, no matter how she tried.

All she felt was powerlessness, hating that she couldn’t do something for Ling Fei like Lian Shuang had.

Seeing Ling Fei’s sincere thanks, Lian Shuang just gave a faint smile and said nothing more. But in her heart, she felt an incomparable warmth and sweetness.

It seemed that as long as this young man was safe, anything she did was worth it.

Because, at that moment, Lian Shuang vaguely remembered what this young man had said: "How could I leave you behind?"

Once upon a time, her own family had abandoned her. But this young man was willing to risk his own life for her, Lian Shuang.

This sentiment was already deeply ingrained in her mind, making it impossible for her to forget.

It was this sentiment that had led Lian Shuang to make her decision.

BZZZT!

Just then, on the Sealing Demon Platform up ahead, Demonic Qi surged, accompanied by a startling fluctuation of power.

A wisp of Netherworld Demon Energy swept out and materialized in the Void, forming an immense Kunpeng.

The Kunpeng was vividly lifelike. Light flashed in its eyes, filled with a supreme might. As its gaze swept over him, Ling Fei’s very soul trembled.

Even the Cultivators on the North Spirit Platform who were watching felt their souls being pricked by needles, and they couldn’t help but shudder.

"Is... is that the Kunpeng Ancestor?"

"Has the Kunpeng Ancestor already broken the Seal?" As the Kunpeng took shape, the Sect Leaders of the major sects on the North Spirit Platform looked on in terror.

"An aura like this... it far surpasses that of a Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouse!" Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun’s expression was grim.

He too had tensed up completely.

In the current situation, even the Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses felt immense pressure, all of them looking helpless.

"That should be a wisp of the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul!" Yuan Huaitian said in a low voice, his eyes flashing.

"Now we’re in trouble." Worry filled Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun’s old eyes.

A mere wisp of the Kunpeng Ancestor’s Split Soul had escaped, yet its might surpassed that of a Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouse. The threat it posed was clearly even greater than Xu Zitao’s!

And now, could Ling Fei still turn the tide?
