1130: Chapter 1129 Ancient Ferocious Beast, Lingfeng Sword Dragon

Galan's figure suddenly jerked to a halt. No longer content with constant evasion, she took the initiative to meet a crushing Mountain-Shaking Fist print head-on!

"Hmm?" The young man's brow furrowed, a sense of vigilance rising in his heart.

Just as the fist print was about to strike her, the long saber in Galan's left hand erupted with an unprecedented, blinding blood-red light. Upon the blade—

Slaughtering Annihilation · Spatial Rift Slash!

With one slash, it was no longer a simple arc of light, but a twisted, dark-red saber beam that seemed to carve a slender fissure through space itself!

The saber beam and the fist print collided violently!

BOOM!!!

This explosion far surpassed the previous ones. A massive black sphere of energy expanded in mid-air, swallowing light and sound. The terrifying shockwave temporarily forced back the attacks of the other four people.

Thump, thump, thump!

The young man was actually shaken back three consecutive steps. A stinging pain radiated from his fist, and the light of the earth-yellow dao marks covering it dimmed significantly.

He looked toward the center of the explosion in shock.

Galan's figure flew backward out of the energy turbulence. A trickle of blood leaked from the corner of her mouth, and her face grew even paler. Clearly, taking that hit head-on had not been easy for her.

However, using the recoil of the explosion and the moment the enemy formation was disrupted by the shockwave, her figure suddenly transformed into a pale-green flowing shadow that nearly merged with space. Her speed surged as she fled into the distance.

"Trying to run?!"

The young man roared in anger and was the first to give chase, turning into a yellow light. The other four also utilized their various methods to pursue her relentlessly.

"She's at the end of her rope! After her!"

"We absolutely cannot let her escape into the depths of the Secret Realm!"

Galan pushed her speed to its limit. The wind howled in her ears, her blood surged within her, and her spiritual power was rapidly consumed as the pursuit began!

However, even with the help of the Law of Space, the gap in cultivation was significant. The five pursuers were just as fast and continued to launch Divine Abilities at her from afar.

As time passed, Galan's condition worsened, but the five powerhouses also noticed something was off.

If Galan truly wanted to escape, it would be understandable even if she abandoned the Canglan Secret Realm, yet she was leading them in circles within it.

Furthermore, Cangling had not appeared or intervened yet, which was clearly suspicious.

"Galan, what is the point of this deathbed struggle? Why not surrender, offer up everything, and submit to..."

Before the dark shadow could finish speaking, he suddenly looked in a certain direction. The other four did the same.

Even Galan stopped and looked toward a certain place—it was none other than the Canglan Hall!

“ROAR—!!!”

An indescribable roar—one that seemed to combine the majesty of a Dragon, the clear cry of a Phoenix, and the ringing of a sword—suddenly erupted from the depths of the Canglan Hall. It pierced through layers of barriers and echoed throughout the entire Secret Realm!

Contained within this roar was the joy of rebirth, a thirst for power, and... an undisguised sense of affection and protectiveness toward Galan!

Following the roar was an indescribable, brilliant radiance!

The radiance soared into the sky from the Canglan Hall. Initially the color of Chaos, it instantly split into ten thousand forms—green wind vortices swirling, golden sword beams cleaving the sky, crimson flames rising, black water surging, and yellow earthen energy solidifying...

It was the manifestation of the many dao marks and auras previously absorbed by the giant egg!

In the center of the light, a slender and vigorous blurred figure could be seen, covered in fine sword-scales with a pair of magnificent wings of light on its back!

The Lingtian Sword Dragon had hatched!

Moreover, the moment it was born, its aura was as vast as an abyss, having directly reached the Tier 5 level!

Because it had fused with the Origin dao marks of over a dozen Tier 5 Powerhouses—especially the essences of wind and sword—its foundation was so profound, its life-level so high, and its pressure so unique that even the three Tier 5 Late Stage powerhouses found their movements stiffening as a strong sense of wariness rose in their hearts!

"What is that?!"

"What powerful life fluctuations! And that Sword Intent... the Law of Wind..."

They looked at the creature before them, their faces filled with shock and doubt as they felt its strange power.

An elegant, strange creature about ten feet long was floating quietly.

Its body resembled a dragon's—slender and full of power—covered entirely in fine, silver scales shaped like sword blades. The edge of every scale shimmered with a sharp, cold light.

On its back was a pair of magnificent wings. They weren't made of feathers, but of light-wings flowing with green wind vortices and golden sword beams. With every gentle flap, subtle spatial ripples spread out.

Its head was dragon-like but not quite; a single horn, crystal-clear as jade, grew from its forehead, with faint traces of wind and thunder swirling around it.

Most striking were its eyes. The left eye was green, like a swirling wind vortex, deep and spirited; the right eye was golden, like a cold star on a sword's edge, sharp and piercing.

The aura it emitted was clearly at the Tier 5 Early Stage!

Yet it was far more solid and majestic than a typical Tier 5 Early Stage, and it contained the flavors of various Laws—wind, sword, fire, water, and earth—intertwining into a seamless whole.

At this moment, the newborn Lingtian Sword Dragon used its strange eyes to gaze at Galan with curiosity and affection. It let out a soft cry of dependence and gently rubbed its head against Galan's arm.

Galan could clearly feel a close connection between them, like a bond of blood and a Divine Soul contract.

This connection stemmed from her long-term nourishment of the giant egg with her own Laws and energy, and even more so from being by its side when it hatched, allowing their auras to meld.

"You..." Galan reached out, gently stroking its cool, sharp scales.

The Sword Dragon Phoenix squinted its eyes in enjoyment and let out a comfortable purr. The light-wings on its back spread out, scattering bits of starlight.

"This is the long-extinct Ancient Vicious Beast—the Lingfeng Sword Dragon. I didn't expect such a creature to remain in the Canglan Secret Realm!"

The mysterious young man recognized the creature at a glance, the delight in his eyes undisguised.

"An Ancient Vicious Beast? A living Ancient Vicious Beast?"

"Is that for real? This is a Lingfeng Sword Dragon?"

The other four also cried out in alarm. Because this Lingfeng Sword Dragon had undergone a mutation after following Galan, they hadn't reacted immediately.

But after confirming its identity, none of the four could remain calm. The power of an Ancient Vicious Beast was beyond doubt; though few in number, every single one was incredibly powerful.

Once an Ancient Vicious Beast reached adulthood, it would possess combat power at least comparable to Tier 6, and the strongest among them could even reach Tier 8.

The Lingfeng Sword Dragon before them was unique, and it appeared to have just been born!

Being Tier 5 at birth was an inconceivable feat even for an Ancient Vicious Beast.

"This Lingfeng Sword Dragon is special; it might even have the hope of breaking through to Tier 7!"

This thought crossed everyone's mind. An adult Lingfeng Sword Dragon might never submit to anyone, but a juvenile was different.

One could nurture a bond or even directly imprint a Divine Soul mark to forcibly enslave it.

At this thought, everyone's eyes burned with fervor. All their attention shifted to the Lingfeng Sword Dragon, to the point that Galan, standing nearby, was ignored.
