Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

One breath...

Three breaths...

Ten breaths...

Freya and her two companions waited for a full quarter of an hour. After the faint light at the cave entrance was completely extinguished, there was no further movement.

The last glimmer of hope that the three goddesses had held in their hearts gradually faded away.

Come to think of it, when they came out of the cave, the people came out first, and then the light disappeared.

Ling Feng's situation was different from theirs.

Furthermore, Ling Feng has not yet emerged even after the light has been extinguished for so long.

I'm just afraid...

It looks like things are going badly!
"Long Fei!"

Long Ze Liyue couldn't help but shout towards the cave entrance. She couldn't believe that Ling Feng would die like this.

Sariel remained silent, only sighed softly and shook his head.

I no longer harbor any illusions.

And just then...

"Cough...cough..."

A soft cough suddenly came from the dark cave entrance.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar figure strode out of the darkness.

It was Ling Feng!

His clothes were tattered and covered with dried blood and traces of energy burning. His face was as pale as paper, and his breath was extremely weak, as if he would collapse at any moment.

But those eyes were deep and sharp, exuding an indescribable aura.

In his hand, he was now tightly gripping a stone slab half-engraved with mysterious patterns.

Its form and aura clearly indicated that it was the other half of the Truth Stone that Freya had been desperately seeking on this trip.

"Long Fei!"

The three women exclaimed in surprise at the same time, and Freya couldn't help but fly forward.

She reached out to take the stone carving, then suddenly stopped, her eyes fixed on the half-carving, her voice trembling with excitement: "You...you succeeded? You really got it?!"

Ling Feng gave a tired smile and casually tossed the half of the Truth Stone carving in his hand to Freya: "I haven't failed you, here you go!"

Freya almost trembled as she accepted the half of the warm stone slab, feeling the vast knowledge and power of laws contained within it, too excited to speak.

A ten-year-long dream has finally come true!
She took out the original half of the stone carving and put them together; they fit perfectly.

As the two stone carvings were joined together, they miraculously healed themselves, forming a complete stone slab.

The patterns on the stone slab began to rearrange and recombine, shimmering with dazzling divine light.

Freya's beautiful eyes were filled with ecstatic joy; this was exactly the ancient god's decree she needed!

If she can decipher the contents of the stone tablet, her divine wisdom might advance even further, reaching a level comparable to those powerful figures on the top three divine thrones.

"Long Fei, thank you so much! Thank you so much!"

Overjoyed, Freya suddenly hugged the staggering Ling Feng and pouted her red lips, about to kiss his face.

Ling Feng was startled and jerked his body backward, but because his legs were weak, he almost fell to the ground.

"Cough cough..."

Ling Feng blushed slightly, a hint of embarrassment on his face. "Goddess of Wisdom, there's no need for you to offer yourself in return..."

"Pah! You wish!"

Freya rolled her eyes at Ling Feng. "It's just a little reward for you. If you don't want it, forget it!"

After saying that, she turned away angrily, but then held the complete stone carving of truth in her hands, unable to put it down.

At the same time, Sariel and Ryuzawa Riyue also gathered around, looking at Ling Feng with concern.

"Long Fei, are you alright?"

Looking at Ling Feng's numerous wounds, Long Ze Liyue realized that he must have experienced a lot during the seventeen or eighteen days he spent in the cave.

They were only crushed in spirit, while Ling Feng's injuries were definitely completely different from what they had experienced.

"I'm fine, it's just that I've been too exhausted."

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, his gaze sweeping over the three women. "Anyway, it's all over!"

Inside that cave, he did indeed, to some extent, comprehend the meaning of those star spirit murmurs and ancient god runes through the "Primordial Creation."

Around the eighth day, he successfully broke free from that void space-time.

Immediately following this, a fierce battle against countless Star Guardians began.

Indeed, these are the star skeleton guardians that were hidden in the void rifts when we first entered the star cave.

Surrounded by those Star Remnant Guardians, Ling Feng could hardly stop for a moment and could only keep fighting!
fighting!

fighting!

He had no time to hide his abilities.

Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, God-Slaying Spear Technique, Great Slaughter Technique, Emperor's Eye, Eastern Emperor Bell...

Even Zi Ling and her entire Shadow Insect army were summoned.

Ling Feng couldn't hide anything using any of the available methods.

Finally, after seven days of fierce fighting, Ling Feng successfully fought his way out and entered the true ancient god's cave.

They also successfully obtained the other half of the Truth Stone.

"How did you manage to stay in there for so long?"

At this moment, Freya had carefully put away the stone carving before turning back to look at Ling Feng, clicking her tongue in amazement, "You kid, you have quite a few secrets."

Ling Feng chuckled dryly, touched the bridge of his nose, and felt somewhat guilty.

"Everyone has their own secrets. Since Long Fei is unwilling to talk about them, why bother to pry?"

Sariel shook his head and smiled, then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Long Fei, besides the stone carvings, were there any other discoveries inside?"

Ling Feng glanced at Sariel with slight gratitude, then took a deep breath and said briefly, "Deep within that cave lies a void space-time composed of the will of an ancient god and divine runes of laws. It seems that the longer one persists, the greater the benefits. In the end, I passed the test and entered that ancient god's cave."

He avoided the main point and naturally did not mention anything about "The Primordial Creation".

Just as he had guessed.

This technique may indeed have originated as a cultivation method of the Star Spirit race.

Under that immense pressure, Ling Feng unleashed his full potential and directly mastered the "Three Scrolls of Divine Path".

Strangely, unlike the leader of Huanglong, he did not acquire new rank abilities through the cultivation of "Original Creation".

Instead, it condensed into a "seed" shaped like a star, which took root deep in the sea of ​​the spirit.

According to the Protoss's ramblings, this seed seems to be the Protoss's "life core".

"And then?"

The three women stared intently at Ling Feng, with Freya looking particularly excited. "There must be a lot of good stuff inside."

Ling Feng nodded and continued, "Inside the Ancient God's Cave, besides the half of the Truth Stone that floats on the central altar, there are two other things that I took out together."

As he spoke, he flipped his left hand, and two items appeared in his palm. One was an ancient-style arm armor, dark gold in color.

The arm armor has smooth lines, covering the forearm to the back of the hand. The joints are inlaid with tiny black crystals, and the back of the hand has a slightly concave circular groove, exuding an aura as solid as a mountain and containing the power of thunder.

This should be Protoss armor.

Ling Feng had tried it; as long as he wore this arm armor, even if he used his Chaos True Body and transformed into a thousand-foot giant ape, the arm armor would enlarge along with it.

Not only that, it can also amplify the power of the divine office.

In other words, if you wear arm armor, the power of the God-Slaying Spear Technique will at least double!
There is no upper limit to this growth rate!
At least based on Ling Feng's current strength, there is absolutely no upper limit.

The last item was a palm-sized, simple-looking gray jade plate.

The surface of the jade plate is perfectly smooth without any patterns, but upon closer inspection, it appears as if countless tiny stardust particles are slowly rotating in a nebula vortex inside.

It doesn't have any powerful energy fluctuations, yet it gives people the feeling of being connected to an unknown place.

"A pair of arm armor? And a... jade plate?"

Freya leaned closer curiously, her gaze mainly fixed on the arm armor. "This arm armor looks extraordinary; it should be a part of an ancient god's armor. But what is the purpose of this jade disc?"

Ling Feng shook his head: "I don't know either. There are only these three things in the cave. As for this jade plate... I tried to inject divine power and divine sense into it, but there was no reaction. I don't know what it is for, but since it can be placed with the other two things, it is obviously not an ordinary object."

"let me see?"

Sariel blinked, as if he had just realized something.

Ling Feng handed the jade plate over directly.

Sariel took the gray jade plate and felt its cool temperature against his hand.

The next moment, starlight shimmered in her heterochromatic eyes as she carefully examined the material and internal structure of the jade plate.

After a long while, she finally tried to inject a wisp of pure Star God's power into it.

hum!
The moment the origin of the Star God touched the jade plate, a sudden change occurred!

The once smooth, mirror-like surface of the jade plate was suddenly projected with a chaotic nebula!

As the nebula swirled, cracks began to appear in the surrounding void.

scoff!

Instantly, a terrifying pressure, cold, deathly still, and filled with killing intent, emanated from it!
Ling Feng's eyelids twitched suddenly.

He was all too familiar with that aura.

"Roar--!"

With a deep, metallic roar, a massive arm covered in dark metal, its joints shimmering with a ghostly blue energy, suddenly emerged from the crack!

It was none other than a "Star Guardian"!
The pressure emanating from just one outstretched arm far surpassed that of an ordinary first-level priest!
"Star Guardian?!"

Freya was horrified and instantly took several steps back, her divine power surging within her as she secretly gathered her strength.

Sariel's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately severed his connection with the jade plate, attempting to close the crack.

But the crack seemed to be anchored by the power of the jade plate, and the closing speed was extremely slow.

Ling Feng reacted even faster. The moment the arm emerged, he took a deep breath, stepped to the crack, and the dark gold arm armor on his left hand instantly covered his right arm.

The moment the arm armor covered him, a tremendous force surged into his arm. He let out a low shout, his five fingers forming claws, wreathed in the origin of chaos and the flames of the Seven Deadly Sins' rage, as he fiercely grabbed at the guard's outstretched metal arm!

"Get back!"

boom!
A deafening roar, like the clash of metal, exploded!

Ling Feng's body trembled slightly, and intense sparks flew from his fingertips. The Starbone Guardian's arm was also forced back into the crack by this powerful claw!
Taking this opportunity, Sariel fully activated the laws of space, and with the convergence of the power of the jade disc, the torn spatial rift finally closed completely with a "hiss".

Everything was as if it had never happened.

"This jade plate..."

Freya was initially startled, but then her face lit up with ecstatic joy. "I can actually summon... or rather, control those Star Guardians?!"

"That's how it should be."

Sariel nodded. "I haven't fully figured out how to use this jade disc yet. Once I'm completely familiar with it, I'll use it to summon the Star Guardian."

"Wouldn't that mean that with just this jade plate, we would have the equivalent of an army of clergy!"

Freya was utterly shocked.
"I don't know, after all, I don't know how many Starbone Guardians this jade plate can summon."

Sariel said in a deep voice, "But the strength of that guard just now was already at the level of a first-level deity. Even if it was slightly inferior to us, it was still powerful enough as a personal guard."

Ling Feng shook his slightly numb left arm and said calmly, "It seems that these three treasures are all quite good."

His gaze fell on Freya, and he said calmly, "As per our previous agreement, we will split our spoils equally this time, but if there are only three items..."

"I don't want it anymore."

Long Ze Liyue spoke first, "I didn't contribute much to this star path exploration. Besides, my divine fusion level was greatly improved in that cave, which was already a considerable gain."

"OK then."

Freya thought for a moment and nodded. "The Detour Star Path is not closed yet. We still have a few days. If we make any gains, we'll give them to you first."

After saying that, she looked at Ling Feng and Sariel, "I only want the half of the Stone of Truth. You can divide the remaining two pieces yourselves."

Ling Feng smiled, raised his left arm, and said calmly, "This arm armor suits me quite well."

While the jade disc that can summon Star Guardians is not bad, in reality, Ling Feng has Zi Ling by his side, who can summon both the Zerg army and the Shadow army.

Furthermore, as Zi Ling improves, the strength of the army she summons will also increase.

This function overlaps somewhat with that of the jade plate.

For him, the ancient god's arm armor was naturally the most meaningful.

Sariel smiled. "It seems that only I can control this jade plate."

"That saves me the trouble of worrying about it."

Freya narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Let's go. Although the harvest wasn't as much as we expected, we finally got that half of the Truth Stone! There are still quite a few unexplored star caves around here!"

As she spoke, she turned back to look at Long Ze Liyue, "Liyue, we definitely won't let you leave empty-handed!"

"Then thank you in advance, Freya-neechan!"

Long Ze Liyue nodded and smiled. Just then, Ling Feng's expression suddenly changed.

Previously, while undergoing the trial of the ancient god's will inside the cave, information from the outside world was cut off.

Only then did he suddenly receive a warning from the Eastern Emperor Bell.

The mark he had previously left on Yan (one of Yu Bingqing's personalities) had already shown signs of movement a day earlier!
This also means that Yan's team is likely facing a crisis.

"Three!"

Ling Feng took a deep breath and, without bothering to explain further, rushed out of the cave. "I suddenly have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave now!"

Having said that, his figure flashed and transformed into another bolt of lightning, shooting away.

Only Freya and her two companions remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"what's the situation?"

Freya looked bewildered and turned to look at Long Ze Liyue, who was most familiar with Ling Feng.

Ryuzawa Riyue also shook her head slightly, "I don't know either. That guy has always been so mysterious..."

However, a suspicion began to form in her mind: the only person who could make Ling Feng so anxious was probably that woman named Mio.

And right now, within the winding star path, Yan, who looks exactly like Mio, might just be the key to Ling Feng's anxiety! (End of Chapter)
