Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 411: Chapter 410: Peak Showdown

”Ling Fei’s True Dragon Bloodline is extremely dense, while Xu Zitao only possesses a small amount of Kunpeng Blood. There was already a gap between them.” Lian Shuang’s eyes flashed, as if she had seen through it all. ”What’s more, Ling Fei has also mastered a powerful Divine Technique Mystical Technique. With that combined with his True Dragon Power, he is unstoppable.”

Lian Shuang was all too familiar with Ling Fei’s true power.

THUD! THUD!

Xu Zitao stumbled back again and again. After stabilizing himself, he looked up, his expression turning savage as he glared at the young man strolling toward him.

Originally, he believed that as long as he activated his Kunpeng Blood Qi, he would be strong enough to sweep through all the geniuses of the Southern Wilderness.

After all, he had easily defeated Beiming Shang even before fusing with the Kunpeng Blood!

Because of this, Xu Zitao had been incredibly arrogant from the very start of the competition, looking down on all the geniuses from the Southern Wilderness.

But who would have thought that he would lose to Ling Fei during the Elixir competition?

Now, in the Martial Arts Competition, it seemed he was at a disadvantage once again.

This caused endless fury to surge within his dark, sinister eyes.

’It’s all Lian Shuang’s fault! If that damn girl hadn’t guided Ling Fei, allowing him to step into the Half-step Nascent Soul Realm, how could I be in such a pathetic state?’

Xu Zitao was utterly furious.

If Ling Fei hadn’t reached the Half-step Nascent Soul Realm, he could have crushed him with a flip of his hand.

But now...

As he glared at the young man before him, whose aura was overwhelming, Xu Zitao felt nothing but rage.

At this moment, his earlier arrogance had completely vanished.

He knew that this young man named Ling Fei was not as simple as he had imagined.

’His True Dragon Blood Qi is also extremely dense.’ His eyes flashed as he thought to himself, ’I have to go all out, or this won’t end well for me.’

By now, he no longer held a shred of contempt for Ling Fei.

”Condense the Kunpeng Blood Qi, gather the will of the Kunpeng.” Xu Zitao’s eyes flashed, and the Kunpeng Blood within him began to roil.

At the same time, his Heart Spirit focused on gathering the Kunpeng’s will. Shadowy runes spread across his body, transforming into scales that clung to his skin.

Furthermore, from his Dantian, those shadowy runes flickered, and a vast amount of Pill Essence swept out, flooding the void above the stage like the waters of a great ocean.

The astonishing fluctuations made Ling Fei’s eyelid twitch.

’Is he about to go all out?’ Ling Fei’s eyes flashed. He could feel the aura around Xu Zitao growing stronger and stronger.

Now, it wasn’t just Xu Zitao’s momentum; his very spiritual essence seemed to be transforming into a Kunpeng. An indescribable presence emanated from him.

Sensing it carefully, Ling Fei felt as if he wasn’t facing a person, but an ancient Kunpeng.

Ling Fei didn’t dare to be careless. The Dragon Blood in his body roiled, and Dragon Scales appeared on his skin as he, too, began gathering his power.

”Beiming Sword Sea!” At that exact moment, a deep voice came from Xu Zitao’s mouth.

WHOOSH!

He swung his Long Sword down. Shadowy runes bloomed, transforming into a vast sea that swept forward.

The Sword Sea surged forward, raising terrifying, overlapping waves that crashed toward Ling Fei.

Ling Fei moved his Long Sword and slashed down, cleaving through the massive waves.

Just as Ling Fei’s sword fell, Xu Zitao took a large step forward, entering the Sword Sea.

On the stage, Xu Zitao’s figure could no longer be seen; he seemed to have merged with the Sword Sea.

But a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from that dark and sinister Sword Sea.

The terrifying waves crashed down, shattering Ling Fei’s Sword Aura before engulfing it completely.

The competition stage had truly transformed into an ocean, with terrifying waves rolling ceaselessly, their momentum immense.

”What is this...?” Many people revealed looks of surprise. On the stage before them, a gloomy light blossomed, and the very sky seemed to change color.

The entire stage had turned into a sea, with only Ling Fei standing firm.

Ling Fei’s gaze sharpened. The terrifying waves crashing toward him were powerful, but he could completely withstand them.

However, when he scanned his surroundings, he could no longer see any sign of Xu Zitao.

Before him was only a dark, sinister Sword Sea, its surface churning with terrifying waves.

Ling Fei released his Heart Spirit to probe the area, but it was shattered by the giant waves of the Sword Sea.

’A technique like this is already comparable to a Divine Technique!’ Seeing this, Ling Fei’s eyes showed his surprise.

This level of Control Power and technique was truly beyond what an ordinary Cultivator could achieve.

At the very least, a common Half-step Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator could never reach this level.

’I have to go all out, too.’ Ling Fei knew that Xu Zitao was definitely gathering power for his ultimate strike, so he had to prepare to face it.

”Kunpeng Takes Flight!” At that exact moment, a deep voice suddenly rang out. Within the Sword Sea, sky-shattering waves surged upward.

The waves rose a hundred meters high, and a vast, ancient aura swept out in all directions.

”What a powerful aura!” As this presence washed over them, the Cultivators from the various sects on the Observation Platform felt their pupils shrink, their eyes fixed on the stage.

Then, everyone saw it. Beneath the sky-shattering waves, within the Sword Sea, a massive Kunpeng emerged.

Shadowy runes coiled around this Kunpeng, emitting a chilling fluctuation.

Its back was like a mountain as it surfaced, a sight that shook the hearts of all who beheld it.

”Is... Is that a real Kunpeng?” Many people were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

Xu Zitao had used the Kunpeng Sword before.

However, the Kunpeng conjured by that Kunpeng Sword had been ethereal. One glance was enough to tell it was just an illusionary projection, an insubstantial form.

But the back of the Kunpeng that had surfaced in this Sword Sea felt completely real.

The ancient aura bursting forth from it was even more heart-shaking, making people wonder if a true Kunpeng had just been born into the world.

”This is an illusionary projection of a Divine Technique, manifested using the Kunpeng Essence Qi contained within the Kunpeng Blood,” Yuan Huaitian murmured, his eyes flashing. ”It seems Xu Zitao truly did fuse with the Beiming Sword Sect’s Kunpeng Blood. Now that he’s going all out, with such Divine Might, few at his level could hope to contend with him!”

At this point, even he was frowning.

”A formidable opponent indeed,” Sect Leader Wan said with a solemn expression.

She, too, was well aware of how powerful the Kunpeng Blood was.

Because of this, few in the Southern Wilderness dared to challenge anyone from the Beiming Sword Sect.

This was especially true for Beiming Transformation Sea. Having also fused with Kunpeng Blood, his combat power was far beyond ordinary.

The only reason they were able to suppress him back in the Falling Star Mountain Range was thanks to the presence of three Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouses.

Otherwise, making him bow his head would not have been so easy.

Just as everyone was reeling in shock, the water of the Sword Sea trembled. The enormous Kunpeng made a sudden move, preparing to burst forth from the sea.

As it broke through the surface, one could vaguely see its body transforming. Wings sprouted from its mountain-like fish body, its head became like that of a Great Peng, and sharp claws appeared on its belly. Dark, sinister Light Patterns coiled around it, making it seem as if it were hidden in another dimension, preventing anyone from seeing its true form.

Clearly, the Giant Kun was about to transform into a Peng.

WHOOSH!

Before anyone could get a clear look at the Kunpeng, it had already transformed into a streak of dark light, lunging toward Ling Fei with an ancient might.

As the Kunpeng charged, the Sword Sea moved with it. Giant waves rolled, and the shadowy runes shot out like Sword Qi.

From a distance, the Kunpeng looked like a Sword Rainbow, its speed so fast it was impossible to track.

Those watching from afar could only see the Kunpeng fly forward, the Sword Sea rolling behind it as if to drown the world. The terrifying aura made even Cultivators at the Celestial Pill Perfection Realm feel a chill in their bones.

Even some of the Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses frowned.

”A strike like this is already comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm, isn’t it!” Master Yuan Lang’s brow was tightly furrowed.

The fluctuations radiating from the stage made even a Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse like him feel a sense of dread.

One could only imagine how powerful Xu Zitao’s attack was.

”This surpasses the strike of a Divine Wheel First Layer Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse,” Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun said.

”That strong?” Yuan Chong, who was beside him, looked on in disbelief.

After all, Xu Zitao hadn’t even reached the Nascent Soul Realm yet!

”Xu Zitao has condensed his ultimate attack using the Essence Qi from his Kunpeng Bloodline, so its power is naturally far beyond ordinary. However, those below the Nascent Soul Realm cannot use such an attack continuously. He can, at most, use it just this once.”

”But this one time is enough to sweep through any Cultivator below the Nascent Soul Realm,” Grand Alchemist Yuan Chun stated.

”Does that mean Junior Brother Ling is doomed to lose?” Yuan Chong’s face was filled with worry as he quickly looked toward the competition stage.

At that moment, the Cultivators from every sect were staring intently at the unfolding battle.

”Ling the Pill Master!” Many people were breaking out in a cold sweat for Ling Fei.

If he couldn’t withstand this attack, would his very foundation be damaged?

’Beimingworld Kunpeng... so this is the Beiming Kunpeng Sword?’ Shangguan Wan’Er’s eyes were fixed on the stage, her heart filled with shock.

This was the Supreme Swordsmanship she had always yearned to master.

Seeing it now, she could hardly conceal her excitement.

’Ling Fei... Can Ling Fei withstand it?’ Amidst her excitement, Shangguan Wan’Er was also incredibly worried.

The power of this one sword strike surpassed that of a Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.

It could even contend with a strike from a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse.

Ling Fei had only just stepped into the Half-step Nascent Soul Realm. It was truly worrying whether he could contend with Xu Zitao.

’This time, the match will be decided.’ Lian Shuang’s eyes flashed as she, too, stared intently at the competition stage.

However, no emotional fluctuation could be seen in her eyes.

She remained as calm as ever.

It was as if she had anticipated all of this.

”The Beiming Kunpeng Sword... This is the true Beiming Kunpeng Sword!” Many disciples of the Beiming Sword Sect were incredibly excited.

For many of them, it was the first time they had seen such a realistic Kunpeng.

This was one of the Beiming Sword Sect’s Zhen Sect Divine Techniques!

”Now that Senior Brother Xu has used the Beiming Kunpeng Divine Techniques, he can easily crush that Ling Fei,” a smirk appeared on Beichen Feng’s lips.

’He might even have the chance to seriously injure or kill Ling Fei.’ Thinking of this, his heart filled with anticipation.

In the Martial Arts Competition, as long as one side conceded, the fight had to stop; you couldn’t kill a surrendered opponent.

However, if someone was grievously injured or killed during the clash, no one could be blamed.

After all, in a Martial Arts clash, who could guarantee there would be no casualties?

Therefore, when Xu Zitao went all out, many from the Beiming Sword Sect hoped he would kill Ling Fei in one fell swoop.

ROAR!

Just as the Cultivators from the various sects were lost in their different thoughts, a sudden dragon’s roar shattered their reverie.

Then, the Cultivators’ gazes shifted, and they saw that on the competition stage, Ling Fei, who had been standing on the sea, had vanished.

In the void above the stage, a giant golden dragon appeared, shimmering with golden light and covered in formidable Dragon Armor.

”A dragon...!” The appearance of the giant dragon stunned everyone.

It happened so fast, with almost no warning. Ling Fei had transformed into a giant dragon and was charging toward the oncoming Kunpeng Sword Rainbow.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The giant dragon lunged forward, its Blood Qi surging to the heavens, filled with terrifying Power.

If one looked closely, they could still see Ling Fei within the giant dragon.

His entire body was just radiating Blood Qi, coiling with Dragon Qi, which had condensed and fused with him to form the body of a giant dragon.
