Dragon Spirit

After becoming the city lord of Ice City, Zhang Xingfeng immediately began his plan, starting to gather the Immortal Emperor from the outside world!

Back then, there were over a hundred powerful experts from outside, mostly at the Immortal Emperor level. However, as time passed, many Immortal Emperors were unable to control their immortal energy and unleash their full power, ultimately dying in battle. After all, in terms of sheer physical strength, there were many others far superior to them. Other Immortal Emperor lived ordinary lives, diligently honing their skills...

Zhang Xingfeng sent Lian Yang to take action. Lian Yang has a history of hundreds of millions of years on Despair Star. He knows most of the more than one hundred experts from outside the planet. It is easy for him to take action!

For those Immortal Emperors who lived ordinary lives, Lian Yang offered a reward of 'ten Bright Crystals a year!' Keep in mind that ordinary people couldn't even obtain one Bright Crystal a year, so the price of ten Bright Crystals made those not-so-powerful Immortal Emperor ecstatic.

However, there were some Immortal Emperor in high positions, such as the Great Elder of Ice City, who were among the earliest outsiders. Zhang Xingfeng did not take action against these figures, as the number of people he had gathered was sufficient.

In the city lord's mansion of Ice City.

Zhang Xingfeng sat comfortably on a stone bench in the garden, looking at the flowers. Zhang Xingfeng thought to himself, "These flowers are no ordinary plants. They must have something special to live well under such pressure. I wonder what Yu Yan's expression would be if Yu Yan saw these flowers?" Zhang Xingfeng imagined Yu Yan's ecstatic look when she saw these flowers.

"True Person, I have completed the procedures you instructed me to follow!" Lian Yang said respectfully as he walked to Zhang Xingfeng's side.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng did not get up but remained seated. He simply said calmly, "You told me last time that among the more than one hundred experts from outside the region a long time ago, one hundred and three of the experts you knew were Immortal Emperor. Now, thirty-three of them have died, which means there are seventy living Immortal Emperor- level experts, twenty-eight of whom hold high positions. In other words, there are forty-two who could be won over. How many have you won over?"

Zhang Xingfeng always felt it was a great pity. In his heart, True Lord Nan Hua was an extraordinary figure, and he so desperately wanted to make True Lord Nan Hua one of his own. But... but Lian Yang had no connection with True Lord Nan Hua.

Upon hearing this, Lian Yang quickly replied, "Of these forty-two, many have already defected to others. For example, four or five of Qin Zhong's subordinates were former Immortal Emperor, and many other experts have joined the Great Elder. Only twenty-three are truly living ordinary lives. I've tried everything, but I've only managed to win over eighteen. Five are too arrogant and unwilling to serve under others. Perhaps they haven't forgotten their former prestige after all these years!"

Lian Yang suddenly remembered something and said, "There's another matter. A billion years ago, True Lord Nan Hua entered the Despair Star, and later ten Immortal Emperor- level figures also came, known as the Ten Saints of the Immortal Realm. The Ten Saints of the Immortal Realm are now mixed up with True Lord Nan Hua. I couldn't find True Lord Nan Hua's whereabouts this time. After all, I'm not very familiar with True Lord Nan Hua! I guess not many people really know how much power True Lord Nan Hua has under his command, but it's said that the monk who reached the Buddha Golden Body is also there!"

Zhang Xingfeng slowly stood up, sighed, and said, "Alright, you did a great job. Eighteen is already very good. By the way, didn't you say that nineteen of them had defected to other sides? See if you can win over a few of them!"

Lian Yang said with great difficulty, "True Person... if we do this, the relationship between us and the Great Elder be greatly affected!"

Zhang Xingfeng, however, didn't care and said, "Don't worry about it, just do as I say!"

Lian Yang immediately replied, "Yes!" and then turned and left.

Zhang Xingfeng really didn't care about the Great Elder; what he wanted was Immortal Emperor -level expert!

"Zhang boy, Zhang boy!"

Zhang Xingfeng was suddenly jolted, and thought excitedly, "Dragon Spirit? Is that you? You're conscious?"

Fire Blade then said, "Dragon Spirit has awakened. To be precise, he has finally broken through the limits of a divine artifact. It is now a low-level Saint Artifact!"

Zhang Xingfeng was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Long Ling to break through. Zhang Xingfeng immediately asked, "Long Ling, tell me what happened? How do you feel?"

Long Ling said, "Zhang boy, I don't know either. Back in the Immortal Realm, when we were teleported, I was instantly stunned. I wanted to talk to you, but I couldn't control my power. In my dazed state, I tried hard to break through, to break through that layer of chaos, but it was just too difficult. I don't know how long it took, I only know that I kept pushing myself and persevering no matter what. Finally... I finally succeeded! I never thought I would finally break through the limits of the divine artifact!"

Fire Blade said, "When I first learned about Dragon Spirit, his energy was already extremely strong. He was a top-tier artifact hundreds of millions of years ago, and after so many years of energy accumulation, he reached the limit of an artifact long ago. However, while there are artifacts that have reached the limit, it is rare for an artifact to be able to break through. This limit is like an insurmountable chasm. I guess if it weren't for the special nature of Despair Star, it would have taken Dragon Spirit a long time to break through!"

Long Ling immediately said, "Haha... It seems that coming here this time is really my good fortune! Oh, I am so happy! I have finally broken through the limit of divine artifacts. I am now Saint Artifact, although it is only a low-level Saint Artifact. However, I am already very excited and very happy!"

Zhang Xingfeng laughed and said, "Saint Artifact are all very powerful. By the way, Dragon Spirit, what kind of power do you have?"

Long Ling proudly said, "Haha, I'm so powerful now! In the past, my spiritual blood was already very powerful, but now it's at least ten times stronger! And that's not all, does Dragon Spirit Space know? Hehe, my Dragon Spirit Space is much more powerful now."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly, "Oh? Much more powerful? How powerful?"

Long Ling replied, "Hmph, in the past, I could only let others enter the Dragon Spirit Space if they volunteered. But now... hehe, as long as someone's strength is no more than one level higher than yours, I can take them in directly!"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Xingfeng started to get a little agitated.

Long Ling then said, "In other words, if you reach the late stage of Immortal Monarch, you can directly take in a late stage Immortal Emperor expert into your Dragon Spirit Space, and he won't be able to leave. Hehe, if you reach the early stage of Immortal Emperor, you can take in Low-grade Divine Human!"

Zhang Xingfeng immediately beamed with excitement.

Fire Blade said, "That's normal. A low-grade Saint Artifact can increase your attack power by a whole level. For example, the God-Slaying Saber is a low-grade Saint Artifact. So Li Qiang can only deal with Low-grade Divine Human at most! For example, if I were a top-grade Saint Artifact, hahaha... then the power would be even greater! However, this rule only applies to those below the Heavenly God level, because Heavenly Gods are much stronger than gods, and Heavenly Gods usually also have Saint Artifact!"

Zhang Xingfeng laughed, "Haha, compared to the God-Slaying Saber, I still prefer the Dragon Spirit. It can directly capture your opponent without killing them. I can release them when I want, or keep them inside if I don't want to! Hehe, Dragon Spirit, you really are amazing!"

A day later, Zhang Xingfeng received eighteen Immortal Emperor in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Greetings, City Lord!" the eighteen Immortal Emperor said respectfully to Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng sat in the main seat and casually smiled, "Please, everyone, have a seat. Don't be shy!"

"Yes!" The eighteen Immortal Emperor sat down one by one. They were all puzzled. Although they were all Immortal Emperor, that was all in the past. If we only talk about physical strength, there were indeed many people stronger than them. They didn't understand why this new city lord gave them such a high salary.

"Actually, the reason I've gathered everyone here is for one thing: to ensure your absolute loyalty to me! Of course, if you are absolutely loyal to me, your salaries will increase fivefold!" Zhang Xingfeng said with a smile.

The eighteen Immortal Emperor were immediately dumbfounded.

Ten Mingjing a year is already extremely high, five times? What does that mean? Right now, Qin Zhong, the owner of the arena, the second largest power in Ice City, only makes about one hundred Mingjing a year! Even the Great Elder probably only make thirty or forty Mingjing a year at most!

Five times! Fifty crystals a year!

The eyes of the eighteen Immortal Emperor immediately turned red. If they could obtain fifty Bright Crystals a year, they would truly become upper-class people and no longer need to worry about energy!

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly. Fifty Mingjing crystals, isn't that just five Immortal Crystals? To him, five Immortal Crystals really are nothing.

With a flick of Zhang Xingfeng's wrist, five immortal crystals appeared before each of the eighteen Immortal Emperor!

"Everyone, have you made a decision? Of course, if you've sworn allegiance, you should do what you're supposed to do!" Zhang Xingfeng said calmly.

Absolute loyalty means becoming the other party's servant, but... fifty Mingjing is just too tempting. After all, when they were ordinary people, they could only get one Mingjing a year at most, which wasn't even enough to replenish their own energy consumption!

"City Lord, I was summoned by Lian Yang and have already decided to pledge my allegiance to you. Now that I have reached fifty Bright Crystals, I estimate that even the elders will pledge their allegiance to you. Of course, I agree!" Immortal Emperor immediately said loudly.

Immediately, one after another, the Immortal Emperor began to express their agreement.

Next step— Blood Oath!

Yes, Blood Oath. Only Blood Oath could put Zhang Xingfeng at ease. After all, Blood Oath completely binds oneself to one's mind and soul, making it impossible to betray under any circumstances. The immortal army in the immortal realm had all Blood Oaths.

The scene of the eighteen Immortal Emperor swearing an oath of loyalty to Zhang Xingfeng with their Blood Oath made Zhang Xingfeng very excited.

He achieved his goal. He came here to gather some Immortal Emperor- level experts. These experts are only average here, but once they leave, their power will recover rapidly, and they may even improve. At that time, Zhang Xingfeng's power will greatly increase!

"Very good, very good. From today onwards, you will follow me, and I will take you away from here!" Zhang Xingfeng had already planned it out. Relying on the Absolute Space, he would walk to the southern end, use the Dragon Spirit Space to take the eighteen people into it, or put them in the Mustard Seed Space, and then Zhang Xingfeng would take them away from Despair Star! After all, there is no pressure to feel in the Mustard Seed Space!

But how could Zhang Xingfeng possibly know? Despair Star cannot take others out, but Zhang Xingfeng was still feeling quite pleased with himself. He even imagined the scene of the eighteen Immortal Emperor returning to the Tianxin Sect. At that time, the Tianxin Sect would have Zhang Xingfeng as one of the experts, and eighteen Immortal Emperor as one of the members!

The effort they put in was so great that no sect in the Immortal Realm could compare with the Tianxin Sect!

Suddenly...

The sky over the entire Despair Star suddenly turned dark!

"Boom!" A thunderous sound startled everyone on the Despair Star.

Why? Because Despair Star has never been dark, nor has it ever seen thunder. Thunder may be heard, but that is in the male side, while this thunder is in the west of Ice City.

With the first clap of thunder.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Thunder roared, and countless bolts of lightning began to strike the iceberg, the source of the minerals of the Bright Cold Crystal Extreme Cold Crystal!

Everyone's expression changed drastically! If the iceberg is destroyed, where will the energy come from in the future?

But the thunder continued, and the lightning bolts grew thicker and thicker!

"Snap!"

The iceberg broke apart, and part of it began to melt, flowing into the ocean to the west and drifting away with the seawater...

"What should we do? If the lightning destroys the iceberg and it flows away with the sea, what should we do?" a resident of Ice City asked anxiously.

"Yes, what can we do? We can't just stand by and watch!"

However, no one went up because they could feel the power of the lightning. It was no ordinary lightning; it was far more powerful than the lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation. You must know that the ice mountain contained Extreme Cold Crystal and extremely Bright Cold Crystal. Even such a hard ice mountain was shattered. You can imagine how powerful the lightning was!

"Hahahaha... I'm out, I'm out... I'm finally out!" Laughter erupted like a tsunami, instantly echoing throughout the entire Despair Star.

Everyone stared at the towering figure, who seemed like an invincible god. Even under the immense lightning, the figure remained majestic, as if the lightning was tickling him!

"Who is he?" Everyone was shocked!

Zhang Xingfeng stared in astonishment at the figure in the sky. He could feel the man's powerful aura, an invincible aura...
