Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

Half a day later, Hawkins appeared in Hall 27.

"Lord Long Fei!"

From afar, Hawkins shouted his congratulations to Ling Feng, "It's all here! I've bought all the treasures you wanted!"

Hawkins, with his round body, rolled into Ling Feng's hall like an iron ball, his face full of fawning smiles and his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

Upon entering, she eagerly took out three treasures enveloped in divine light from her storage bag and carefully presented them to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng was somewhat surprised when he saw the fat man.

This guy's efficiency has exceeded my expectations.

He had only given the list to Hawkins when Hawkins bought it all in just half a day!
"My lord, please take a look!"

Hawkins wiped his brow, his beady eyes gleaming with pride: "This is the first treasure you requested, the Crystal Marrow Purple Ganoderma!"

He broke the first divine light seal, revealing three strange plants whose bodies were crystal clear like jade, and whose roots writhed slightly as if they were alive.

"These three purple fungus were originally priced at three hundred crystals by the seller, but after a bit of persuasion, the seller, upon hearing that you wanted them, immediately reduced the price to fifty crystals! He even said that if he gets any good stuff in the future, he'll give you priority!"

"Well done!"

Ling Feng's eyes lit up slightly. In the booklet Hawkins had given him, the starting price for the Treasure Battle was 300 square Ges crystals. If it really went into the auction, it could probably fetch more than 500, but this kid got it for only 250.

It seems this kid really has some tricks up his sleeve.

As for polite remarks like the other party lowering the price as soon as they hear it's something he wants, just listen to them and don't take them too seriously. Ling Feng isn't foolish enough to believe them directly.

Seeing that Ling Feng was satisfied, Hawkins introduced the second item with even greater enthusiasm: "My lord, look, this is the Void Whale Bone!"

He broke the second seal, and a palm-sized, silver-gray bone fragment with natural spatial patterns on its surface floated up, causing subtle ripples to appear in the surrounding space.

"This treasure was originally priced at 500 cubic quartz crystals, but I'll give it to you for only 380!"

Ling Feng reached out and took it. The bone fragment was heavy in his hand. This treasure was a fragment that a first-level priest had found in the winding star path. If it were a complete bone, the price could even reach tens of thousands of Fangos crystals.

However, if it's just a fragment, its value isn't very high. Moreover, without spatial abilities, it doesn't have much value at all.

Ling Feng was interested in this item only because he vaguely remembered some scenes of the battle between the God of Xingtian and the Void Dragon Whale from the God of Xingtian.

Perhaps, the lingering pressure within the Void Whale Bone can help him better comprehend the intent of the God-Slaying Spear.

"And this is the last one."

Hawkins grinned and removed the seal from the last treasure. "Crimson Abyss Star Copper, this is the most valuable treasure in this treasure competition. It was originally used to forge the thrones of the Twelve Temples."

A fist-sized, blood-red piece of metal appeared before Ling Feng, with faint star veins flowing inside and radiating a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.

Ling Feng accepted the Crimson Abyss Star Bronze, his heart filled with joy.

When he saw the list of treasures provided by Hawkins, he immediately took a liking to this piece of Crimson Abyss Star Copper.

Ling Feng has always used his own exclusive Heavenly Weapon of Humanity, which is condensed from his own Heavenly Dao bloodline, and it is capable of annihilating all directions.

Although it underwent several evolutions and upgrades during this period, and even incorporated fragments of the Heavenly Punishment of the Heavenly Dao Ancestor Ling Taixu, after advancing to the Divine Path, the Ten Directions Annihilation was somewhat inferior to those "divine artifacts".

Just like Huang Shaotian's Nine Fallen Divine Sword, although it is inferior to the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword in terms of shape changes and sharpness.

However, the divine power contained within the Nine Fallen Divine Sword allows Huang Shaotian to unleash unexpected power to a great extent.

Although Ling Feng was able to unleash powerful force through the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, it originated from this secret technique, not from the Ten Directions Annihilation itself.

Ling Feng also tried to fuse the Ten Directions Annihilation with the God-Slaying Spear, but unfortunately, something was still missing.

Forcing a fusion will only cause both weapons to lose their original characteristics and, consequently, their original power.

While the God-Slaying Spear was excellent, Ling Feng had used the Ten Directions Annihilation technique to sweep away countless opponents along the way, so he naturally wouldn't easily give up this exclusive heavenly weapon.

He knew it was time to upgrade his Ten Directions Annihilation technique.

And this piece of Crimson Abyss Star Copper is the key!

Although Hawkins, that unscrupulous businessman, is greedy, he is indeed reliable in getting things done.

"How many Fangos crystals did this Crimson Abyss Star Copper cost?"

"The original price was 3000, but the scoundrel managed to lower it to 2700!"

Hawkins grinned. "So, the three treasures together only cost 3330 Fangos Crystals."

"Good work."

Ling Feng waved his hand and took out five thousand Fangus Crystals, handing them to Hawkins. "Here are five thousand Fangus Crystals. After deducting the cost of you purchasing the treasure for me, consider the rest as your reward for your hard work."

In fact, if these treasures were to appear at the Treasure Competition, they would not be something that a mere 5000 Fang Ges crystals could acquire.

"I can't do it! I can't do it!"

Hawkins waved his hands repeatedly, "It is my honor to serve you, sir! How could I possibly accept any payment for my service! I will accept the cost of these 3330 coins, but as for the rest, I absolutely cannot accept them!"

His beady eyes gleamed with a sharp light, clearly indicating that he was ready to cling tightly to Ling Feng's coattails.

Ling Feng chuckled and didn't insist any further, simply saying, "Then thank you very much, Old Jin!"

"What are you saying, sir?"

Hawkins chuckled, "If we were to encounter each other within the winding star path, would it be possible for you, sir, to offer some assistance..."

So that's what they were waiting for me!
Ling Feng smiled faintly, "That's natural."

"Thank you very much, Lord Longfei!"

Not long after, after seeing off Hawkins, who was full of gratitude, Ling Feng immediately went into seclusion to refine the three treasures.

Of course, the most important thing is to elevate the Ten Directions Annihilation to another level.

……

Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.

On the day of the treasure-hunting competition, the entire venue was bustling with noise.

Various colored lights shot into the sky, and shouts of bidding and cheers rose and fell.

This treasure-hunting competition is a grand event held only once every few years in the Silent Realm, so basically all clergy will participate.

Sometimes, even the most powerful of the twelve thrones would come to the scene to trade with the gods without thrones.

The treasure-hunting competition was divided into two areas.

The first is the auction trading area, which is the normal auction process. It's simply a matter of who has the most money to win the treasures they need.

The other area is the so-called gambling arena.

The "battle" in the "Battle of Treasures" tournament originates from this.

In the arena of gambling, strength is what matters.

Both sides bring out treasures of equal value to wager on, with the winner taking all and the loser getting nothing.

The rules of this gambling arena are very similar to those of the Abyss Arena battle at the Dragon Abyss Relay Station.

However, there is no winning streak mechanism, and each bet can only be between the two sides.

Generally speaking, second-level and third-level clergy will choose to auction themselves in the auction area.

As for the first-level clergy, they preferred to obtain the treasures they desired directly through sparring and duels. At this moment, on the arena stage, Ares, after defeating an opponent, did not immediately leave the stage but instead challenged "Dragon Flight" to a duel.

"Long Fei! Do you dare to come out and fight?"

Ares, clad in dark gold armor and wielding a spear crackling with crimson lightning, boomed, "Today's treasure-hunting tournament, do you dare to challenge me to a duel? If you win, this 'Crimson Lightning Spear' is yours; if you lose, well, I won't take your treasure. You just need to shout 'I'm trash' three times in front of everyone, how about that?"

The room erupted in uproar.

"Lord Ares has actually issued a public challenge!"

"I doubt that Long Fei would dare to accept the challenge."

"Of course, he's just a newcomer. And Lord Ares' strength is basically one of the top in the Silent Domain."

Discussions arose.

Seeing that no one responded, Ares sneered repeatedly: "Coward! I think you're nothing but a piece of trash who only dares to cower under a woman's skirt!"

He deliberately amplified his voice throughout the entire venue, the humiliation of which was self-evident.

Serik, who had a fairly good relationship with Ling Feng, immediately turned red with anger and shouted from below the stage, "Ares, don't go too far! You're just relying on the fact that you've cultivated for thousands of years longer!"

"Humph!"

Ares's gaze turned cold as he stared at Serik. "What, you want to fight me?"

Serik clenched his fists and sneered, "Although I'm no match for you, don't be arrogant. The fact that the three goddesses chose Fei Ge instead of you means you're no match for him! What are you pretending to be? If you're so capable, go and challenge those three goddesses!"

"presumptuous!"

Ares's face immediately turned extremely sinister. He snorted coldly and continued, "Fine, if that's the case, then go and tell that Long Fei that I, Ares, will be waiting for him on the arena of the Treasure Tournament. I will accept any challenge before the tournament ends! If he can defeat me, from now on, wherever he appears, I, Ares, will kneel down and await him!"

"Okay, just wait!"

Serik snorted and turned to rush towards Lingfeng's Temple No. 27.

……

"Miss Della, please inform him quickly, I have something urgent to discuss with Brother Fei!"

Serik stormed into Temple 27 in a huff, only to be turned away at the door.

Della stood guard at the door and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Lord Serik, but my master is currently in seclusion and it's inconvenient for him to receive guests."

"The Treasure Tournament is in seclusion?" Serik frowned, then said, "This is a really important matter, Miss Della, please go and inform them!"

Della smiled wryly and said, "Master instructed beforehand that he would not participate in the treasure competition, and that no one should disturb him during his seclusion. Please don't make things difficult for me."

"This……"

Little did Serik know that Ling Feng had already acquired all the treasures he needed at a low price, so the treasure-hunting competition held no appeal for him.

He was currently busy refining the Ten Directions Annihilation Technique, and naturally had no interest in anything else.

Serik frowned and could only shout at the door, "Brother Fei! That Ares is really going too far! Please come out!"

"That guy said you're a coward, that you can't even withstand one of his moves, and that you only rely on women for protection!"

"Come out now! This is the last straw! If you don't show up, Ares will get even more arrogant!"

……

Unfortunately, no matter how much Serik shouted, there was no response from inside.

At this moment, Ling Feng had already entered the internal space of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

Although he wields the incredibly domineering Devouring Flame, it is still quite difficult for him to melt down the Crimson Abyss Star Copper and reforge the Ten Directions Annihilation and God-Slaying Spear into a divine weapon.

The task of forging the Ten Directions Annihilation technique alone was enough to give him a headache; he had no time to worry about Ares.

Anyway, if that guy is blind enough to run into my hands, I'll just kill him without hesitation.

Even the God of War Michael and the former Goddess of Amaterasu, Ryuzawa Shuichi, were defeated by Ling Feng.

A mere god without a seat...

Raise your hand to destroy it!

……

In the blink of an eye, the treasure-hunting competition came to a complete end.

However, Ling Feng has not shown up yet.

This made Ares even more convinced that Ling Feng was a "good-for-nothing".

Faced with such blatant provocation, he didn't even dare to step onto the stage to fight, which shows that he is a spineless coward.

At best, he's only slightly proficient in the art of formations.

Little did they know, Ling Feng had actually been in seclusion for three whole days.

By controlling the time flow rate through the Eastern Emperor Bell, thirty days were essentially gained.

Finally, it wasn't all for nothing.

With the Ten Directions Annihilation technique further enhanced, the power of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique naturally increased as well.

You can leave customs now!
With a thought, Ling Feng returned to his secluded meditation room from within the Eastern Emperor Bell space.

The next moment, a message came through the communicator from Freya, the goddess of wisdom.

"Assemble at the Temple of Wisdom immediately, the Star Path is about to open!"

Ling Feng's gaze sharpened slightly; the timing was perfect, neither too fast nor too slow.

Ling Feng stepped out of the meditation room and saw Della and Number 27 already waiting respectfully outside the hall.

"Master, are you about to depart?"

Ling Feng nodded and said with a smile, "I'll leave the house to you while I'm gone!"

"Uh-huh!"

Della nodded emphatically. Although they hadn't known each other for long, her master had been extremely kind to her and never treated his servants like other clergymen did.

Although she was a deacon in Sariel's Starry Sky Temple, the respect she received here was far greater than before.

"By the way, Lord Serik came to see you a few days ago, Master..."

Della then truthfully recounted Ares's challenge to Lingfeng.

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, but didn't take it to heart.

"Well, I see!"

He nodded, and then his figure flashed and transformed into a streak of light, heading towards the Temple of Wisdom.

Ling Feng wouldn't care about a mere clown.

Let's talk about everything after we return from the circuitous star path.

Of course, if Ares felt he had too much time on his hands, even knowing Freya wanted to use him as a tool to get rid of Ares, he wouldn't mind sending him on his way early. (End of Chapter)
