Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 492: Chapter 491: Preparations

”The Corpse Ancestor’s remnant soul has been destroyed. You have rid the Southern Wilderness of a great scourge. If the crisis in the Southern Wilderness is resolved, you will have performed a service of the highest merit!” Emperor Tang said, his gaze shifting to Ling Fei.

”It was just a fortunate accident. I dare not claim any credit,” Ling Fei said with a smile.

”Regardless, this is a blessing for the Southern Wilderness People.” Emperor Tang waved his hand and continued, ”However, although the Corpse Ancestor’s remnant soul is gone, his body remains. Furthermore, the powerful cultivators from the Corpse Spirit Hall are still a major threat. I do not know what the outcome of my move will be, so I intend to plan this carefully and wipe them all out in one fell swoop.”

As he spoke, a light glinted in Emperor Tang’s eyes. It seemed he was already plotting how to deal with these Evil Demons.

’Wipe them all out in one fell swoop!’ Ling Fei was taken aback. He was moved by Emperor Tang’s sheer presence.

”But the outcome is difficult to predict. In a moment of crisis, I may need you to lend your full support. Are you willing to fight alongside me?” Emperor Tang asked, his gaze questioning.

The result of such a decisive battle was uncertain, so he had to consider a backup plan.

After all, the future of the Southern Wilderness was at stake, and Emperor Tang dared not be careless.

”As long as Your Majesty needs me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!” Ling Fei said, his gaze hardening as he enunciated each word.

At a time like this, how could he back down?

”Excellent. Everything depends on tomorrow.” Emperor Tang nodded. Then, his eyes flashed as he gazed into the Void, his fighting spirit surging.

’Tomorrow!’ Ling Fei also gazed into the Void, a light glinting in his eyes.

Tomorrow, everything would be revealed.

”It is late now. You should go and prepare,” Emperor Tang said after they had talked for a while.

”Alright!” Ling Fei nodded and took his leave.

Ling Fei returned to his residence.

Huang Xiaoman, Mu Xue, and Shangguan Wan’Er were there.

With the Evil Demons invading, Huang Xiaoman and the others were fraught with worry.

This event had affected everyone in the entire Southern Wilderness. No one could escape it.

”Ling Fei, what did His Majesty say to you?” Huang Xiaoman and Mu Xue came forward, both eager for news.

”Don’t worry. His Majesty will do everything in his power to protect our Southern Wilderness,” Ling Fei reassured them. ”Everything depends on tomorrow.”

”That’s wonderful!” Huang Xiaoman let out a small sigh of relief.

She still had family in the Empire and feared that if the Southern Wilderness Martial Arts World was destroyed, the Empire would also fall into darkness.

”Thank goodness His Majesty is taking action,” Mu Xue said.

At this moment, Emperor Tang had become their only hope.

”The campaign against the Evil Demons is tomorrow. I want to prepare thoroughly.” After saying this to the group, Ling Fei went into seclusion to cultivate.

From his conversation with Emperor Tang, he had sensed the gravity of the situation.

Emperor Tang’s final request for Ling Fei to fight alongside him, in particular, made Ling Fei feel the immense weight of his responsibility.

Therefore, he decided to prepare himself well.

In the training room, Ling Fei sat cross-legged on a couch and closed his eyes.

’I’ve been in seclusion these past few days, trying to advance my understanding of the Mystical of Martial Arts, but breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm is not that easy.’ Ling Fei’s thoughts raced as he considered how he could still improve. For him, even the slightest increase in strength would be beneficial.

’Although I’ve reached the Divine Soul Realm, it’s still extremely difficult to control the Power within the True Dragon Divine Gaze. As for the Mystical it contains, that’s something I can’t yet comprehend. So, I am far from being able to easily unleash the Power of the True Dragon Divine Gaze.’ Ling Fei sighed.

To unleash the Power of the True Dragon Divine Gaze, he had to burn his Divine Soul and even his Bloodline Power.

But the cost was too great; he couldn’t sustain it.

’However, since reaching the Divine Soul Realm, I haven’t tried to break the Seal inside the Dragon Bone. My Divine Soul Power is fully recovered now, so it’s time to give it a try.’ A light flashed in Ling Fei’s eyes. He decided to assault the Seal within the Dragon Bone to see if he could gain anything from it.

He could have tried to break it much earlier.

But back in the North Spirit Ruins, Ling Fei had been focused on finding opportunities and had gone to the Martial Arts Inheritance Region instead.

Afterward, his Divine Soul was injured, and he had been focused on healing it ever since.

Now was the time to challenge this Seal.

With a single thought, Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit sank into the Dragon Bone.

As his Heart Spirit passed through the Dragon Bone Space, he finally saw another sealing barrier of light.

’Just as I thought. As long as my Divine Soul continues to grow stronger, I can reach the Seals inside the Dragon Bone one by one.’ Ling Fei was overjoyed.

The Seals within the Dragon Bone filled him with anticipation.

’Break!’ With a thought, his Divine Soul Power condensed, forming something like a True Dragon that charged violently toward the Seal ahead.

BANG!

The moment Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit moved, the Seal in the Dragon Bone trembled violently and was shattered in a single blow.

Once the Seal was broken, Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit entered a new world.

Golden light flickered here, resembling rolling mountain ranges.

But upon closer inspection, it was as if he was on the Dragon Bone itself. The rolling mountains he saw were actually the joints of the enormous Dragon Bone.

At this moment, Ling Fei felt more than just the vast Dragon’s Might. He could even sense the aura of a dragon—a kind of bloodline aura.

It was an ancient, time-worn presence.

His Heart Spirit seemed to have touched the core of the Dragon Bone. This was not as simple as the previous empty Restriction spaces.

’Have I really touched the Dragon Bone?’ Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit stirred.

HUM!

Just then, a flash of light between the mountain-like joints turned into a golden rainbow and shot into Ling Fei’s mind.

”Only by imprinting your Heart Spirit upon the Dragon Bone can you truly control it and use it for protection.” A deep voice resounded in Ling Fei’s mind.

’Only by imprinting your Heart Spirit upon the Dragon Bone can you truly control it and use it for protection.’ Ling Fei was slightly stunned. ’Does this mean I never truly controlled this bone before?’

He felt a little wistful.

But thinking about it carefully, it was true. Although he had broken several Dragon Bone Seals and could draw upon the Dragon Bone Power, accessing its true strength required activating the Forbidden Patterns on its surface. He had never truly felt in complete control of the Dragon Bone.

Immediately, he began to imprint his Heart Spirit onto the Dragon Bone.

The Dragon Bone’s might was immense. As Ling Fei tried to imprint his Heart Spirit, he felt as if it would be crushed.

However, he ultimately succeeded in imprinting it upon the Dragon Bone.

Instantly, he could clearly perceive some of the Dragon Bone’s structure.

It was truly a bone, and it still contained residual Bloodline Power. But that Power was too faint. It was hidden deep within the bone, almost undetectable from the outside.

His Heart Spirit was still unable to sink into the depths of the bone to stimulate the Dragon Bone Power within.

Because Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit was still too weak, while the residual Power in the Dragon Bone was too immense for his Heart Spirit to bear.

To control this Power, his own strength would have to increase accordingly.

At the same time, Dao Patterns swirled within the Dragon Bone, which also contained numerous Seals that radiated a vast Power.

Those Seals were like hidden treasures, waiting for Ling Fei to explore them.

Just as Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit imprinted itself on the bone, he sensed a shimmering golden suit of armor floating within a barrier of light up ahead.

The armor glittered with golden light, as if forged from Dragon Scales, yet it was sharp as metal. It radiated a piercing, dazzling brilliance that captivated the eye.

’What is this?’ With a hint of curiosity, Ling Fei reached out toward the barrier of light ahead.
