Ling Feng felt as if his body was being restrained by a force, and no matter how much he tried, he couldn't break free from it.

However, Ling Feng had a feeling that the Mo Yu Sword was devouring the power of the stone bead, which was not a bad thing for him, because the sword was emitting a sense of longing.

But... this was the stone bead that the Feng Family had guarded for generations! Ling Feng felt somewhat ashamed in his heart.

Just that now, the situation was beyond Ling Feng's control, even if he wanted to stop, it was impossible!

With a whoosh, a layer of black flames suddenly emerged around Ling Feng's body, followed immediately by a piercing Sword Qi shooting out from him, attacking in all directions.

Long Guangyi frowned and waved his hand, a huge energy shield enveloped Ling Feng.

The Sword Qi rampaged within the energy shield, causing it to almost collapse.

Long Guangyi took a deep breath, how had Ling Feng's strength improved so much in just a few days? Before, this energy shield had rendered Ling Feng and Xia Wan'er helpless, but now... there was a tendency that he couldn't suppress Ling Feng anymore!

"Seal!" Long Guangyi shouted lowly, but before he could act, the energy shield exploded with a bang, and countless Sword Qi surged towards him.

Long Guangyi's face drained of color: "Not good, others will get hurt like this!"

If his energy shield couldn't withstand it, the others around the Dragon Group were even less likely to be able to block it!

With a low shout from Long Guangyi, a wall glimmering with ice crystals, the Mysterious Ice Wall, appeared around Ling Feng. The Sword Qi from Ling Feng, blocked by the Mysterious Ice Wall, shot straight upwards, and Long Guangyi's entire office was blown apart!

The Sword Qi soared into the sky, tearing apart the white clouds overhead, startling the powerhouses at the Dragon Group Base.

"My God, such intense Sword Qi... could it be the work of the Dragon King?"

"This strength, isn't it comparable to those of the Elders Council? Could it be that one of the elders has made a breakthrough?"

"Let's go see, but I don't remember any of our group's elders having such strong Sword Intent!"

...

Soon, countless figures appeared around the Dragon King's office. They saw the dilapidated office, and Ling Feng sitting in the middle with his eyes closed, their eyes showing shock and amazement.

Because that powerful Sword Intent was emanating from Ling Feng.

"Dragon King, what happened here?" The Great Elder from the Elders Council, who had also awakened from his seclusion, hurried over and asked.

Long Guangyi was a bit embarrassed, and he said cheerfully: "It's nothing, it's just that Ling Feng has had a new breakthrough. He just didn't control his strength well, that's all!"

The Great Elder looked at Ling Feng's young and resolute face, his eyes sparkling with a strange light.

Although he had never interacted with Ling Feng, he knew of this extraordinarily talented young man.

"Ling Feng is not only Liu Chengfeng's son-in-law but also Long Guangyi's disciple. This means he has significant connections with both of the past Dragon Kings!" the Great Elder pondered. "Moreover, he's so young yet so strong. It looks like the next candidate for the Dragon King of the Dragon Group has been determined!"

"Let's disperse!" Long Guangyi said indifferently at that moment. "However, it's strictly forbidden to mention today's events to anyone. Does everyone understand?"

The crowd nodded. The younger Ling Feng was and the stronger his martial strength, the more disadvantageous it was for the Dragon Group's hostile forces! The more actions they would take against Ling Feng!

The struggles of the Underworld are often filled with various conspiracies, assassinations, and bloody purges!

Everyone left, but Long Guangyi did not. Ling Feng was in a profoundly mysterious state, experiencing an oblivion of self and object. This state allowed a cultivator to better connect with the Heaven and Earth Laws, and for Ling Feng's sake, Long Guangyi decided to personally act as his protector.

At that moment, Ling Feng was indeed unaware of anything happening outside.

When the stone bead was completely absorbed into the Mo Yu Sword, Ling Feng felt a tremor in his spirit, followed by an immense suction force that pulled his consciousness into a very mysterious space.

In this space, Ling Feng found himself surrounded by energies of various colors: Wind's Rhythm, Water's Gentleness, Fire's Fervor, Earth's Solidity, Metal's Sharpness, Wood's Freshness, Thunder's Explosion, Light's Warmth, Darkness's Softness...

These were all Elemental Powers that make up the world, and as Ling Feng felt these forces, he felt as if his understanding of the world deepened!

Although this feeling was profound and intoxicating, Ling Feng's consciousness was still very clear.

"Where is this place?" Ling Feng looked around, but apart from these Elemental Powers, the surroundings were empty, as though he was in the infinite expanse of the universe, making him feel somewhat uneasy.

At this time, a ray of light appeared in front of Ling Feng. Within the brightness, a hazy figure emerged in front of him: "Young friend, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

A slight heaviness settled in Ling Feng's heart, as this phantom exerted a mighty pressure on him, even stronger than that of Long Guangyi.

"Senior, was it you who pulled me into this space?" Ling Feng asked. "Is there something you need me to do?"

The figure gradually became clear. It was a burly middle-aged man dressed in simple animal skins, as if he had stepped out of ancient times.

However, the man had an aura of dignity and amiability, making it easy for one to overlook his attire.

The middle-aged man walked up to Ling Feng and placed a hand on his forehead.

Ling Feng instinctively wanted to dodge, but for some reason, his body seemed uncontrollable, and he obediently let the middle-aged man touch him.

When the man's hand touched Ling Feng's forehead, it felt as if his head was being pricked slightly, and then the man drew back his hand: "I didn't expect... thousands of years have passed, and the Earth's strength has weakened to such an extent! It seems that the fragment sealing the Heavenly Dao can no longer hold on for much longer!"

"Senior, what are you talking about?" Ling Feng was somewhat puzzled.

The middle-aged man looked at Ling Feng with a smile: "This is an intention I left within the Xuanyuan Sword. You can call me the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor!"

Ling Feng's eyes widened. Xuanyuan Saint Emperor? The first great hero in Huaxia's legends was this middle-aged man before him? Ling Feng was stunned, momentarily bewildered.

The middle-aged man spoke softly: "This intention I've left in the Sword Scar of the Xuanyuan Sword is meant to guide my Successor, so he can obtain enough power before the Great Destruction. Now that you have received the Xuanyuan Sword Scar, you are my Successor, Ling Feng!"
