Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 324: Chapter 323: True Dragon Ancient Hall

The earth here was scorched black, as if it had been burned by fire. Rifts in space writhed like dragons and snakes, visible everywhere throughout the Void.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Gale-force winds howled, cutting like sharp blades and twisting the very Void.

Ling Fei tread carefully, as if walking on thin ice.

Finally, after advancing for several miles, Ling Fei rounded a hill and discovered a massive Qi Vortex.

’That’s the Qi Vortex leading to the True Dragon Ancient Hall!’ Ling Fei’s heart leaped with joy.

The Qi Vortex hovered in the Void, a thousand meters above the ground. It was immense, churning like a great whirlpool and surrounded on all sides by spatial rifts.

The area was incredibly dangerous, but according to the Marsh King, that Qi Vortex was a gateway to another dimension—the very location of the True Dragon Ancient Hall.

However, the sheer number of spatial rifts was overwhelming, and the howling gales contained a terrifying Power.

As Ling Fei advanced, he felt an immense pressure, as if he could be swallowed whole by the gales at any moment.

In other words, Ling Fei was utterly incapable of withstanding these violent winds. He couldn’t even reach the area of the Qi Vortex, let alone enter it.

’Am I just going to give up like this?’ The gales battered his body. The Pill Essence protecting him dissipated completely, and even his robes were torn apart.

But as he looked up at the Qi Vortex, his eyes burned with defiance.

’I’ve already come this far. How can I possibly give up now?’

’Condense my True Dragon Power!’ Ling Fei gritted his teeth, circulating the True Dragon Power within him and fighting against the howling winds as he pushed forward.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The howling gales were like blades, tearing through his robes and Soft Armor to expose his skin.

Countless gashes immediately appeared on Ling Fei’s exposed skin, welling up with blood.

’Form the True Dragon Body.’ As his Soft Armor was torn apart, Ling Fei gritted his teeth again. He circulated his True Dragon Power, and scales materialized on his arms.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t managed to form a complete True Dragon Body. Although the Dragon Scales on his arms blocked a few of the wind blades, most of his body had yet to manifest scales. He remained vulnerable. At this realization, Ling Fei sighed internally, a sense of powerlessness washing over him.

”Do I really have to wait until I’ve completely formed the True Dragon Body before I can come here?” Ling Fei muttered, gazing up at the churning Qi Vortex ahead.

Alternatively, he would need to at least reach the Nascent Soul Realm and possess a powerful Body-Protecting Supreme Treasure.

Otherwise, there was no way he could withstand the Gang winds that howled out from the spatial rifts.

’But how long would it take to form a complete True Dragon Body?’

’What if something unexpected were to happen in the meantime?’

Time waits for no one.

And neither do fortuitous opportunities!

Power in the present is the only true path.

’The True Dragon Bone!’ Ling Fei’s gaze sharpened, and he immediately activated the True Dragon Bone, hoping to borrow its Power.

BZZZZ!

The Dao Patterns on the Dragon Bone flickered. The moment it was touched, it began to thrum, resonating with the distant Qi Vortex as an intangible consciousness pulled it forward.

Not only that, but the True Dragon’s Eye in Ling Fei’s mind also began to thrum, releasing a vast Dragon’s Might.

This Dragon’s Might was wild and domineering, yet it also carried a trace of excitement, as if something ahead was pulling it, summoning it.

The next moment, the Dao Patterns on the Dragon Bone in Ling Fei’s spine flashed. An image of a True Dragon emerged, wrapped itself around him, and flew toward the Void ahead.

The Dragon Bone was displaying its Spirituality, carrying Ling Fei toward the Qi Vortex ahead.

’This...’ Seeing this, Ling Fei was overjoyed.

The Dragon Bone Pen was forged from the bones of the Dragon Ancestor. Although it currently lacked sufficient Dragon Qi, a Divine Object of its caliber still possessed a trace of Spirituality.

It now seemed to have sensed something beneficial and couldn’t resist the urge to seek it out to enhance itself.

And so, Ling Fei, the one who controlled the Dragon Bone, also reaped the benefits.

Wrapped in Dragon Patterns, Ling Fei’s body shot through the Void like a True Dragon, flying straight ahead.

As he streaked through the Void, he could clearly feel himself weaving around one spatial rift after another.

Clearly, the Dragon Bone possessed a spirit of its own and knew how to avoid danger.

’I see it!’ Ling Fei couldn’t suppress his elation as he drew closer and closer to the Qi Vortex.

A moment later, he arrived in the vicinity of the Qi Vortex.

BZZZ!

The Dragon Patterns flashed, and like a True Dragon, plunged directly into the Qi Vortex.

At that moment, Ling Fei felt his blood begin to boil as the True Dragon Power latent in his bloodline was gradually drawn out.

Furthermore, within his mind, the Light Patterns of the True Dragon’s Eye flickered. Its incomplete Dao Patterns erupted with endless Dragon’s Might as True Dragon Power began to condense.

The incomplete Dao Patterns seemed to want to connect and form a complete True Dragon’s Eye.

Unfortunately, in the end, the Dao Patterns failed to link together.

However, the light from the True Dragon’s Eye’s Patterns continued to shine, refusing to dim.

ROAR!

Just then, the Qi Vortex began to writhe. As winds howled, the surrounding True Dragon Qi continuously converged upon it.

From a distance, the Qi Vortex had actually taken the shape of a dragon’s head.

And Ling Fei had plunged right into it.

As Ling Fei submerged into the Qi Vortex, his vision blurred, and he was pulled into a mysterious space.

An ancient and majestic aura immediately swept over him like a torrential flood.

’It’s the aura of the True Dragon Ancient Hall!’ The sensation sent a tremor through Ling Fei’s heart.

Ling Fei focused his Heart Spirit, and a boundless space unfolded before his eyes.

The space was vast and endless, yet pitch-black. There was no sun or moon, only a stretch of crimson earth and a magnificent Ancient Hall.

The Ancient Hall was impossibly tall. Outside stood nine massive pillars, simple yet majestic, with True Dragons carved into their surfaces.

A dense concentration of True Dragon Qi had gathered around the Ancient Hall, swirling about it like a sea of clouds and mist.

A vast Dragon’s Might also emanated from the grand hall.

The Dragon’s Might was soul-shaking, enough to make one’s spirit tremble. Ling Fei had only just arrived, yet he already felt an oppressive weight on his soul and bloodline. His breathing grew difficult. A sense of his own insignificance welled up from deep within his heart, as if he were in the presence of a Divine Spirit.

”The True Dragon Ancient Hall!” Ling Fei looked up, his eyes locked on the great structure before him as the deep words escaped his lips.

The Ancient Hall before him was identical to the one described in the information the Marsh King had provided; even its aura was exactly the same.

’If this isn’t the True Dragon Ancient Hall, what else could it be!’

Staring at the Ancient Hall radiating its vast Dragon’s Might, Ling Fei felt his blood begin to boil with excitement.

He had risked everything, even using himself as bait to come to the Falling Star Mountain Range, all for his primary goal: to reach the True Dragon Ancient Hall and seize a fortuitous opportunity.

Only then could he become truly powerful.

Only then could he search for his adoptive father.

Now that he had finally laid eyes on the Ancient Hall, Ling Fei’s emotions were indescribable.

After all, for the past thousand years, not even experts at the Divine Mansion Realm were guaranteed to ever lay eyes on the True Dragon Ancient Hall.

Only a select few experts, such as the Marsh King and King Ji, had ever managed to reach this place.

For Ling Fei, who was merely at the Profound Pill Realm, to have arrived here safely was truly a stroke of immense fortune.

As Ling Fei rejoiced, the Light Patterns on the spinal bone behind him flashed. A vast True Dragon Power billowed out, taking the form of a True Dragon.

This True Dragon coiled in the air above Ling Fei’s head.

At the same time, light flickered within his mind, and the True Dragon’s Eye emerged from between his eyebrows to float in the Void before him, radiating a divine glow.

BZZZ! BZZZ!

As the True Dragon appeared and the Dragon Eye hovered in the air, Light Patterns flickered across the Ancient Hall. One by one, the True Dragons carved into the pillars came to life.

The sound of draconic cries immediately echoed through the air.
