Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

As I was pondering this, a dazzling "starlight" suddenly appeared ahead, paving a path through the starry sky.

"let's go!"

A glint of light flashed in Sariel's beautiful eyes, and she immediately spread her wings and flew forward.

Her purpose in this trip was to find the other half of the "Truth Stone Carving" that she had found deep within the winding star path last time. After all, with only half a stone carving that was incomplete, not only could it not be comprehended, but if one tried to comprehend it by force, one would even suffer a backlash.

Yet the content of those stone carvings is incredibly "tempting".

For the past ten years, she has been almost driven crazy just by refraining from reading that half of the Stone of Truth.

It's no wonder that she couldn't help but swear when she was unconscious.

Sariel and Ryuzawa Riyue immediately flew after them, while Ling Feng shrugged and caught up using his sword technique.

The four of them proceeded cautiously along the winding "star path".

In addition to the strange smell of decaying stardust, there was also an eerie "silence" in the air, as if most of the sound had been absorbed by the darkness.

This is not an illusion.

Ling Feng could sense that the deeper he went into this star path, the more his vision, hearing, and even his soul perception were greatly weakened.

It seems that this is the suppression of the star path distortion law that Freya and the others mentioned before.

About an hour later.

"Attention, we are about to enter the 'Dark Erosion Zone'."

Sariel's voice was solemn, and the star orb in her hand flickered with slightly disordered light, pointing towards an area ahead of the star path shrouded in a deeper shadow.

The light there seemed distorted, and an unsettling, ominous atmosphere permeated the air.

"The distortion of the laws of power in the area ahead will be even more severe."

Freya frowned as she looked at Ling Feng and Long Ze Liyue, and said in a deep voice, "You should have noticed that our perception ability is less than one-tenth of what it is in the outside world. Stay close to Sariel for a while, otherwise, even if we walk in a straight line, we may get lost!"

Just as Freya said, Ling Feng's heart sank as soon as he stepped into that dark erosion area!
As if an invisible weight was pressing down on his shoulders, the divine essence within him was as if it were shackled, making its operation heavy and sluggish. The powerful divine strength that he used to command with ease now seemed to be stuck in some kind of silt!

What a domineering suppression!

If it weren't for his solid foundation far surpassing that of his peers, he would probably find it extremely difficult to even mobilize his divine power normally at this moment.

The crimson divine light surrounding Ryūzawa Ryūgetsu, representing the duties of Amaterasu, dimmed slightly, indicating that she was also feeling the pressure, but her condition seemed to be slightly better than Ling Feng's.

After all, she possessed the primordial artifacts of the three Amaterasu priestesses, something Ling Feng could only envy.

Freya also frowned slightly, but having entered the Detour Star Path many times, she was already very familiar with its special suppression.

The only one unaffected was Sariel; the starlight emanating from her body flickered freely like breathing, subtly resonating with the dark area.

Is this what makes the Starry Sky Divine Office so special?
Right now!

"Woo..."

A series of shrill screams suddenly erupted from the surrounding viscous darkness!
The deep void on both sides of the star path suddenly "boiled"!
Countless twisted, indescribable, ghastly gray shadows surged forth like boiling ink!

They have no clear physical form, and they wildly change and twist between the real and the unreal, sometimes coalescing into twisted limbs covered with rotting tumors, and sometimes dispersing into drifting, screaming gray smoke.

Immediately afterwards, a chaotic mental shock mixed with resentment, coldness, and despair, like an invisible poison needle, pierced the very essence of the four people's souls!

"Damn it, it's the Starry Nightmare! I didn't expect these monsters to have already spread to the outer edge of the Dark Erosion Zone!"

Freya gave a low shout, her expression grave: "Be careful their echoes don't corrupt your mind!"

Echoes?
Ling Feng frowned slightly, unleashing a raging inferno with his Ten Directions Annihilation Slash. However, the domineering Devouring Flame, capable of swallowing everything, passed directly through the shadows that resembled "smoke" without causing any damage.

Even Ling Feng's sword energy couldn't harm them in the slightest.

"These remnants of the starry sky are immune to pure physical and elemental attacks, and even conventional divine soul attacks have limited effect on them! Only by using the essence of divinity can the spiritual particles of these remnants be obliterated."

Sariel quickly called out a reminder.

Before he finished speaking, a dozen or so pale gray remnants of nightmares were instead attracted by Ling Feng's attack. They bared their fangs and claws, tearing through the stagnant air with a hissing sound, and rushed towards Ling Feng madly with intense chaotic resentment!

Ling Feng's pupils contracted slightly, and he forced the stagnant divine power within his body to circulate, using the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique to activate the power of the Seven Deadly Sins' Wrathful Origin.

Swing out a sword!
boom!
The blazing, furious sword energy tore through the dark space and slashed fiercely at the dozen or so remnants of nightmares charging at the forefront!
In an instant, the roaring flames engulfed the twisted shadow!
However, after the flames dissipated, the screaming gray smoke only thinned slightly for a moment, and then, in an instant, it absorbed more dark resentment from the void and quickly reformed.

Then, with an even more frantic shriek, it pounced!

"Damn it!"

Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat. The Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, activated by the wrathful divine authority, could only stop those remnants of the starry sky for a moment.
In that split second, the eerie claws of one of the Starry Nightmare's creatures almost touched Ling Feng's face.

"Congeal!"

Suddenly, a clear, cold voice rang out from his side.

But then, with a light tap of her jade-like finger, a pure, star-blue light screen instantly opened up in front of Ling Feng.

laugh!
The Nightmare's claws slammed into the light screen, producing a piercing sound like a branding iron hitting water.

The claws of chaotic resentment were like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, rapidly purified and melted by the pure starlight and vast divine essence contained within the light curtain!

The lingering nightmare let out an extremely shrill scream, its entire body twisting and struggling, gradually turning into nothingness black smoke in the starlight, completely dissipating, unable to reassemble as before!

"Didn't I say? Only the divine essence can completely erase them!"

Freya scoffed, "Although your sword move just now was imbued with a trace of divine power, that level of power is insufficient to obliterate the Starry Nightmare. When dealing with the Starry Nightmare, don't even think about conserving your divine power."

Ling Feng's eyelids twitched slightly, as if he understood something.

Within this winding star path, one's divine essence is greatly suppressed.

Normally, activating even a fraction of one's primordial power would consume it at almost ten times the rate here.

These remnants of the starry sky can only be eradicated using pure divine essence.

Once their divine essence is exhausted, they will become lambs to the slaughter.

No wonder most second- and third-level clergy only dare to search for opportunities on the outskirts of the winding star path, but never dare to venture deep into the star path.

At the same time, starlight blazed in Sariel's hands, and the purest cosmic essence transformed into several condensed starlight chains, dancing like serpents and precisely binding several attacking remnants of nightmares.

The starlight chains shimmered, and each of the locked nightmares let out anguish, their bodies rapidly dissolving and annihilating under the purification of pure starlight.

"Divine Oracle! Spacetime Severing!" At the same time, Freya raised her right hand and pointed her fingertip at the void in front of her. A fan-shaped area in front of her was suddenly cleaved apart, directly splitting a large area of ​​the starry nightmare that was about to merge into countless different out-of-control parts.

In conjunction with Sariel's Star Lock, those remnants of the starry sky were destroyed one by one.

Clearly, this wasn't their first collaboration.

Ling Feng's gaze narrowed slightly. If he hadn't teamed up with Sariel and the others, even with his strength, he would probably only be able to wander around the outskirts with low-level clergy like Hawkins.

Of course, the main advantage is that Sariel, the goddess of the stars, can unleash her full power here, an advantage that no one else can match.

Oh no, Abaddon above the Ninth Throne should be in a similar situation to Sariel.

"I'll lead the way, you all stay close to me, and try not to waste your divine duties!"

Sariel wouldn't consume ten or even dozens of times more divine source power here than others, so it's the wisest choice for her to deal with those celestial remnants.

The others just need to cooperate with her offensive.

Sariel was surrounded by a dazzling starlight, like a lighthouse in the darkness. She moved swiftly and lightly along the star path, her hands constantly pointing out directions.

The starlight chains that burst forth from between his fingers were like precise rays of destruction; wherever they passed, the remnants of nightmares turned to ashes amidst their shrill screams!

Freya, Ryuzawa Liyue, and Ling Feng controlled the Starry Nightmare to prevent it from getting close to Sariel or merging in large numbers, otherwise it might get out of control.

Under the guidance of Sariel's powerful stellar divine power, the four of them worked together to tear a path through the increasingly turbulent Nightmare Tide!

The group fought and retreated, and about half a day later...

Ahead of the starlight, a faint, hazy silver-blue glow finally appeared.

This also means that they are about to emerge from the eroded area.

"We're almost at the River of Fireflies! Let's break through!"

Sariel's roar rang in my ears.

Freya took a deep breath, and the next moment, the crown of wisdom that had gathered above her head shone brightly.

"Divine Decree! Spatial Teleportation!"

With a delicate shout, the space around the four of them distorted violently in an instant, and in the next moment, they crossed the last part of the Dark Erosion Zone.

The next moment, Ling Feng felt his body suddenly become light!
The heavy, sluggish feeling and the chaotic mental shock disappeared almost entirely in an instant!
The scene that came into view suddenly changed.

They were standing on a riverbank suspended above endless nothingness.

Looking out, the so-called "river" was not the kind of river Ling Feng understood.

It was a vast, boundless expanse of flowing "light"!
Countless tiny specks of light, each the size of a fingernail, converge to form a magnificent silver river that stretches across the entire field of vision, flowing silently against the backdrop of solidified darkness.

These points of light emanate a soft yet cool silvery-blue glow. They flow and rotate at a soothing but constant speed, maintaining a subtle distance from each other, forming a grand and extremely harmonious flow of light.

Above the stream of light, there are countless tiny points of light, too numerous to count, and those are star fireflies.

At first glance, the stream of light formed by the star fireflies looks like another river of fireflies, as if they will eventually converge in the endless and distant sky.

"Phew, it's finally out!"

Freya let out a long sigh, her gaze fixed on the vast river of light, and said softly, "Every time I enter the River of Fireflies, I am still awestruck by this starry river!"

A hint of intoxication flashed in her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water.

Indeed, this starry sky is truly beautiful!
In particular, the fireflies and the Milky Way are like mirror images, reflecting each other and making people feel as if they are in a dream.

"We need to catch some star fireflies before we leave. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome when we cross the 'Star River Turbulence Zone'."

The next moment, Freya withdrew her gaze and muttered to herself.

Ling Feng looked ahead and said in a deep voice, "Are those points of light all star fireflies?"

Sariel nodded. "Yes."

"Then you can just grab any old handful." Ling Feng shook his head and smiled.

"Innocent."

Freya rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "If only it were that simple. Starfireflies may seem tiny, but there is a very special kind of harmony between individuals and groups. The starfirefly colony is also intertwined with the River of Fireflies."

"To put it another way, if you grab a handful of star fireflies, you might be grabbing an entire 'galaxy.' Even if you have that much brute strength, you can't possibly carry a whole galaxy with you around!"

"Forehead……"

Ling Feng's eyelids twitched slightly, and suddenly, he seemed to hear a sharp, urgent shriek.

"what!!!"

The exclamation, mixed with the roar of a wild beast, came from the direction of the riverbank of the River of Fireflies.

The four of them looked in the direction of the sound.

Just a few hundred feet away on the banks of a river of fireflies, four figures were surrounded by nearly a hundred Starry Nightmares.

These people were just a hair's breadth away from breaking out of the Dark Erosion Zone and escaping those remnants of the starry sky, but at the last moment, they were surrounded.

Inside the encirclement, three figures were seen protecting a woman in purple in the center. The woman seemed to be preparing some kind of secret technique, while the other three guarded her side. It seemed that the woman's secret technique was her last "lifeline".

Leading the charge was a middle-aged man wielding a heavy shield, roaring as the runes on the shield flashed, creating a precarious energy shield to fend off the dense swarms of starflies.

With each impact, the protective shield trembled violently, and the burly man spat out a mouthful of blood!

Beside the burly man was a tall, thin man, as thin as a bamboo pole, who leaped and darted around the edge of the protective barrier, constantly shooting out beams of divine essence as sharp as needles from his fingertips, trying to disintegrate the surrounding Starry Nightmare.

His precise control over the essence of the clergy was so accurate that it was calculated down to the millimeter.

No wonder they were able to traverse the Dark Erosion Zone and almost reach the River of Fireflies.

The last person in the group was also a woman, but she wore a pair of iron claws on her arms. When she swung her hands, she continuously blasted out crimson claw marks, each time causing a piece of starry sky remnant to explode!
That power was domineering and ruthless, even Ling Feng was somewhat taken aback.

This fierce fighting style reminded Ling Feng of Natalie, who had destroyed the organization.

When Ling Feng saw the woman's profile, his eyelids twitched violently.

Although the woman had long, fiery red hair, her profile and the aura emanating from her felt strangely familiar to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat at that moment!
Could it be... her? (End of Chapter)
