Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

About half an hour later, as the group continued to venture deeper into the star cave, the strange inscriptions and the celestial spirits' murmurs became more frequent and clearer.

As Freya had warned us beforehand, the team has not encountered any problems so far.

"Watch your step!"

Just then, Freya suddenly let out a low shout.

Ling Feng looked down and saw that the path beneath his feet was dotted with cracks that resembled abysses.

Beneath the crevice, some huge, metallic-looking wreckage could be vaguely seen.

Some resembled broken giant spears, their tips still bearing the terrifying aura of tearing through space; others looked like shattered fragments of armor, covered with grotesque impact marks; and there were even some enormous humanoid remains that appeared to be puppets made of some special metal.

"Hidden within the rift are the Star Guardians..."

Freya's voice carried a hint of solemnity, "They are the guardians of the Ancient God Star Cave, at least at the peak of the second-level divine authority. Once you accidentally fall into the rift, you will face the relentless pursuit of these guardians."

Ling Feng felt a chill run down his spine.

These star-bone guardians continue to protect the star cave even after the star god dies, demonstrating their tenacious vitality.

Once surrounded by these guards, even a team like theirs would likely face dire consequences.

"This is only the outer part of the star cave, and the cracks are still relatively sparse. Deeper into the star cave, cracks are almost everywhere, and not just on the ground."

Freya continued to remind them, "In short, be careful in everything you do! If you make even the slightest mistake, you might never be able to turn back."

As she spoke, she gave Ling Feng a meaningful look, "Especially you, Long Fei, you better not die before you've even had a chance to be of any use."

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, Goddess of Wisdom, I'm someone who values ​​my life quite a bit."

"That's good!"

After Freya finished speaking, she continued to lead the group deeper into the star cave.

She seemed quite familiar with the paths here, avoiding several treacherous areas, and the journey was thrilling yet safe.

Another half-day has passed.

"We've finally arrived! This is the ancient god's cave that I explored last time!"

Freya pointed to a cave in the distance, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "Last time, I only explored the outer part of the cave. The core area was blocked by a magic array set up by the ancient god. I waited until the detour star path closed, but I still couldn't break through! This time, I will definitely not return empty-handed!"

Sariel whispered a reminder: "Freya, every now and then, the laws deep within the winding star path will be distorted to some extent. The internal structure of this cave may have changed, so we need to be even more careful as we get closer to the final stage."

"It doesn't matter."

Freya grinned and hugged Sariel's shoulder. "With you, the Goddess of the Stars, and Long Fei's mastery of magic arrays, we'll definitely be able to break through the Ancient God's Maze this time!"

"In short, it's always good to be cautious."

"Okay, okay, I know! Let's go in quickly!"

Freya was clearly excited; she seemed to see the other half of the "Stone of Truth" beckoning to her.

It's been ten years!
She had been waiting for this moment for a full ten years, so it's no wonder she was so agitated.

“I’ll go first!” Sariel took a deep breath and stepped into the Star God’s Cave first. At the same time, he turned back to remind the others, “The space here is fragmented. One wrong step and you could be teleported to a completely unknown and dangerous area.”

Ling Feng and his two companions followed closely behind, advancing along the path precisely calculated by Sariel.

The surrounding scenery was like a shattered mirror, with each fragment reflecting a different starry sky.

Finally, after nearly two hours of arduous travel, the view suddenly opened up, and the four of them arrived at a circular platform with a diameter of about 100 zhang.

The platform's surface was covered with ancient, unrecognizable runes, and in the center stood a broken stone tablet with inscriptions that were now illegible.

As for the items on the platform, they have basically been wiped out.

Clearly, these are traces left from Freya's last visit.

"right here!"

Freya strode toward the stone tablet and took out half of a stone slab emitting a soft white light from her storage space. "I found half of the Truth Stone Slab here last time. The other half should be deep inside the Star Cave, but it was blocked by the Ancient God Maze ahead."

As she spoke, she placed half a stone slab onto the broken stone tablet, the dents on the tablet resembling an open book.

Freya's half of the stone carving was embedded in it, exactly the left half of the book page.

In an instant, a pure white light burst forth from the seam, illuminating the entire platform.

Rumbling--

Immediately afterwards, a muffled thud was heard.

The stone tablet began to slowly sink, revealing a spiral staircase extending downwards, as if leading to an endless abyss.

"follow me!"

Freya took the lead, and the four of them entered in turn.

The steps seemed endless, and the surrounding walls were inlaid with countless glowing minerals, illuminating the path ahead.

As they went deeper, Ling Feng felt an increasingly intense sense of pressure, making him feel suffocated.

This also means that the original owner of this cave must have been an incredibly powerful ancient god.

No wonder Freya was so interested in the "Stone of Truth" inside the cave.

The group descended the steps, and after an unknown amount of time, a massive stone gate finally appeared at the end of the steps.

The door is carved with ancient totems so intricate they are dizzying, and in the very center of the massive door is a palm-shaped groove.

"Here we are!"

Freya stared intently at the massive door, her expression grave. She huffed, "The team I led last time was stopped right here. This isn't an ordinary door; it's a maze!"

"How to say?"

While carefully observing the patterns on the stone gate, Ling Feng asked a question.

"Why don't you just put your palm on it and you'll know?"

Freya grinned, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of mockery, yet also a touch of anticipation.

Ling Feng nodded slightly, said nothing more, and walked straight to the giant door.

The next moment, he raised his right palm and gently placed it on the palm print.

He took a deep breath and felt as if his very soul was being swept into a nebula.

His eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly activated his divine sense, trying to penetrate the chaotic nebula. A terrifying wave of divine sense, as vast as the sea, spread out silently like the most precise probe, cautiously sweeping out in all directions.

hum!
The nebula seemed to be triggered, and in an instant, a chaotic and violent force of divine consciousness surged back like a tidal wave!

"what!--"

With a startled cry, Ling Feng opened his eyes abruptly, only to find himself still standing before the giant gate.

Cold sweat was already pouring down his forehead.

"How about it?"

Freya grinned. "Now you know how powerful it is! This door is useless no matter if you try to destroy it with brute force, try to probe it with your mental power, or try to destroy it with your divine essence. The only way is to break through the ancient god's maze inside."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "Long Fei, you're a formation master I have high hopes for! You must have discovered something during your probing just now, right?"

Ling Feng took a deep breath and nodded slightly, saying, "This formation is based on the laws of spacetime, unlike ordinary barriers. Once you come into contact with it, you are directly drawn into the spacetime within the formation, completely dominated by the formation itself, greatly increasing the difficulty of breaking it." Freya nodded, "Not bad, you've figured out so much on your first try!"

She gave Ling Feng an approving look and continued, "This Ancient God Maze incorporates at least forty-nine different ancient god restrictions. Its complexity and the difficulty of its deduction far exceed the limits of my divine wisdom! If you can break it, we will split everything inside, except for the other half of the Truth Stone Carving!"

Sariel and Ryuzawa Riyue also looked at Ling Feng.

Whether Ling Feng can enter the depths of the Star Cave and obtain the opportunities within depends entirely on him.

Ling Feng pondered for a moment, then suddenly a glint flashed in his eyes. He stared intently at Freya, licking his slightly dry lips. "I can try to break the formation, but I need you, Goddess of Wisdom, to lend me something first. Once I understand it better, there shouldn't be any problems."

The goddess of wisdom felt a chill run down her spine under Ling Feng's gaze, and her delicate brows furrowed immediately. "How dare you! How audacious of you!"

She covered her chest with both hands, gritting her teeth as she said, "You! I never thought you were this kind of person, actually taking advantage of my misfortune!"

"Taking advantage of the situation?"

Ling Feng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said, "Goddess of Wisdom, you've misunderstood. I just wanted to borrow your half of the Stone of Truth to study it, I didn't want any other benefits."

"Cough cough cough..."

Freya blushed slightly. "Just studying the Stone of Truth?"

"Otherwise what?" Ling Feng asked, looking bewildered.

Freya bit her lip, tossed the half of the Truth Stone over, and then turned away, clearly sulking.

How can you blame me for overthinking? You were staring so intently at me, and you were talking about getting to know me better...

Damn it, I'm so fed up with this kind of "knowledge" that you can understand in seconds!
Ryuzawa Riyue secretly smiled, while Sariye coughed a few times to ease the awkwardness.

Ling Feng, however, had no other thoughts and began to examine the truth stone carving after receiving it.

"Don't!"

Seeing that Ling Feng was actually trying to comprehend the inscriptions on it, Freya quickly tried to remind him, but the words were swallowed back down.

You brat, you made me look bad! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!

However, the scene of Ling Feng rolling on the ground with his head in his hands, which was expected, did not occur.

Ling Feng stared at the half of the Truth Stone carving, seemingly enlightened.

"How did you..."

Freya looked on in disbelief, but seeing Ling Feng immersed in his comprehension, she gritted her teeth and didn't interrupt him.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Ling Feng suddenly raised his head, a confident glint in his eyes.

I'll try again.

As he spoke, he stepped forward and placed his palm on the groove in the center of the stone door again, seemingly injecting the seven sins into it, but the moment he touched the stone door, it automatically transformed into the source of chaos.

The primordial chaos merged into the stone gate as easily as a clay ox sinking into the sea; even Sariel and the others couldn't discern anything amiss.

At that moment, the ancient patterns on the stone gate suddenly lit up!

Countless points of light, as if awakened, began to flow, recombine, and form a completely new pattern.

Immediately afterwards, a heavy "click" sounded, and the stone door slowly opened to both sides!

"you……"

Freya stared wide-eyed at Ling Feng in disbelief. "How do you know how to activate it?"

Ling Feng withdrew his hand, turned back and grinned at Freya, "Didn't the solution be written on the stone tablet? I understood the contents of the stone tablet, so..."

"you……"

Freya swallowed hard.

When she last came here, she was trapped by this stone gate for more than half a month, and she made no progress at all.

When she said she had cracked part of it, there was actually a slight element of boasting involved.

And this "dragon flight" only took him less than an hour!

Compared to him, the word "wisdom" in my title as the goddess of wisdom seems somewhat...

She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, saying, "No, how could you possibly understand the contents of the stone tablet? Everyone else would suffer a mental backlash if they just glanced at it a couple of times..."

"Perhaps... I am the chosen one?"

He shrugged casually, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Goddess of Wisdom, the door to the core cave of the ancient gods has opened!"

Freya remained skeptical, while Ryuzawa Riyue stepped forward with a smile and said, "In any case, it's a good thing the door is open."

Sariel nodded and smiled, "Freya, let's go inside and talk."

Freya gave Ling Feng a deep look. Although she was still a little unconvinced, she quickly calmed down. "This goddess keeps her word. We'll split the treasures inside equally!"

Ling Feng shrugged. In fact, the contents of that half-carved stone were already a huge treasure to him.

He had previously obtained a Supreme Oracle stone inscription in a ruin in the world of miracles.

However, I have never been able to understand its contents.

But over time, the spiritual impact of the stone carving greatly honed his mental resilience.

This is why he was able to withstand the backlash from Freya's half of the Truth Stone and forcibly read the information within it.

The content of that stone carving is far more than just opening the stone door.

That's more like a "key," a key to unlock the Book of Oracles!

He has begun to master how to study the Supreme Oracle Stone.

For that reason alone, his trip was worthwhile.

Of course, the other half of the Stone of Truth should also serve a similar purpose.

Once Freya obtains the stone carving, he will borrow it to study for a while, and he thinks Freya won't refuse.

While they were pondering, the four of them cautiously stepped through the stone gate.

Behind the door was a huge spherical space, in the center of which floated a miniature star field model composed of countless starlight, slowly rotating.

What is most eye-catching is that on the wall directly in front of us, there are exactly four identical holes, each one equally dark and deep, and even the aura they emit is exactly the same.

Freya frowned. "It seems like they want the four of us to each choose one of the cave entrances to go into?"

Ling Feng nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Freya's statement.

"What are you waiting for!"

Freya gritted her teeth and was about to step forward when she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ling Feng. "Long Fei, you choose first!"

"Forehead……"

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, then casually pointed to the third cave entrance, "Then I'll choose this one."

"Hmph!" A sly glint flashed in Freya's eyes. "Then I'll take this one!" (End of Chapter)
