Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

After parting ways with the Goddess of Wisdom and the other two, Ling Feng flew to a secluded place, where he summoned the Eastern Emperor Bell, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

"Bingqing, you absolutely can't get hurt!"

Ling Feng clenched his fists. Although Yan was only one of Yu Bingqing's split personalities, only by gathering all of her personalities could they be perfectly integrated into the original Yu Bingqing.

No aspect of one's character can be compromised!

The next moment, the phantom of the Eastern Emperor Bell flashed and disappeared.

A moment later, his figure appeared outside a rugged valley composed of the remains of enormous stars.

This was also to avoid appearing too abruptly, so Ling Feng chose a teleportation location that was still some distance away from Yan.

The air was thick with the stench of blood and the decay of stardust, mixed with low, beast-like roars.

Deep in the valley, the rumbling sound of colliding energy could be faintly heard.

Ling Feng concealed his aura, and like a cheetah blending into the shadows, silently climbed up a towering boulder of bones at the entrance of the valley.

"A Star Origin Beast?"

Ling Feng frowned slightly. He had heard Freya and the others explain that, apart from the Starry Nightmares hidden in the Dark Erosion Zone, the biggest threat within the Winding Star Path was the mutated Star Beasts, also known as Star Origin Beasts.

Similarly, they are not living beings, but rather immortal spirits born from the deathly aura and resentment that permeate the winding star paths, combined with the aura that dissipated when star gods fell.

Looking down, the entire valley is laid out before you.

Dozens of Star Origin Beasts had completely sealed off the valley entrance.

An Ruosu, Chekhov, Lawrence, and Yan were struggling to stay upright against a giant bone cliff covered with star patterns.

An Ruosu's face was pale, and her hands formed a seal to maintain a huge amethyst barrier. The surface of the barrier was covered with spider web-like cracks, and it trembled violently with each impact.

Chekhov held his massive runic shield at the forefront, the runes on the shield flashing wildly. Each impact caused his burly body to shake violently, and blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Lawrence was already exhausted, covered in blood, lying on the ground, barely alive.

And that last fiery red figure firmly locked onto Ling Feng's gaze.

Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, she was alright!
Yan's long, crimson hair fluttered in the chaotic airflow, and his arms were covered with ferocious iron claws that were now burning with a dazzling crimson divine light!
Without Lawrence, a ranged damage dealer, the pressure on Yan is immense.

"Roar!"

Just then, a Star Origin Beast resembling a giant lizard, spewing out eerie blue energy flames, roared and pounced, its massive jaws filled with fangs snapping at her head!

Instead of retreating, Yan advanced, his eyes burning with a wild fighting spirit. He twisted his body at an incredible angle, narrowly avoiding the bite. At the same time, his right claw, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the void, fiercely grabbed at the giant lizard's relatively soft neck!
scoff!

The crimson claw marks, like red-hot branding irons, instantly tore through the scales, bringing with them a spray of dark blue, foul-smelling blood!
The monitor lizard roared in pain, its thick tail sweeping down like a steel whip!

Yan reacted with lightning speed, his feet slamming into the ground, his body shooting backward like an arrow, narrowly avoiding the sweeping attack.

The moment she landed, she braced herself against the ground with her left paw, using the momentum to propel herself forward again, her target the monitor lizard's exposed abdomen due to its rage!

Her fighting style is wild, fierce, precise, and deadly!
However, the number of Star Origin Beasts attacking them was simply too great!

Some wield energy stingers like giant scorpions, some spew corrosive acid like worms, and others circle low in the sky like giant eagles, waiting for an opportunity to strike!
They worked in perfect coordination, taking turns attacking the crumbling amethyst barrier and Chekhov's heavy shield defense.

Although Yan's offensive was fierce, he could only barely hold back a few more heads, while more attacks fell on the shield like a tide.

An Ruosu's face grew paler and paler, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that she had reached her limit.

Chekhov was bleeding from all seven orifices, and the runic light on his heavy shield had dimmed to its lowest point.

"An! I can't hold on much longer!"

Chekhov roared, his voice filled with despair.

Yan forced back a Star Origin Beast that was trying to ambush him with a single claw. He glanced back at the shaky barrier and his pale-faced companion, a flash of unwilling anger in his eyes, but he could only grit his teeth and prepare to retreat back into the barrier's range.

at this time!

"Roar--!"

A Star Origin Beast, resembling a cheetah, lurking in the shadows of the cliff, suddenly pounced down from above the moment Yan turned his head!

With lightning speed, the sharp energy claws aimed straight for Yan's back!

"Yan! Watch out behind you!"

An Ruosu's pupils constricted sharply, and she screamed in terror!

Yan turned around abruptly, and the sharp claws were already inches away!
Her pupils contracted sharply, and she only had time to barely turn to the side and place the iron claws across her chest!

laugh!
The energy claws slashed fiercely across the iron claws, bursting into dazzling sparks!
The immense impact sent her flying, her back slamming heavily against the solid rock face of the star-shaped cliff!

"puff!"

Yan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale instantly!
A deep, bone-revealing claw mark slashed diagonally from her left shoulder to her right rib, and the terrifying Star Fiend Qi was frantically eroding her flesh and divine power!

The excruciating pain made her vision go black, and she could barely stand!
"Yan!"

An Ruosu's eyes widened in horror, and the amethyst barrier fluctuated violently due to the shock to her mind, causing the cracks to widen instantly!

"Roar!"

Having landed a successful blow, the dark golden cheetah's eyes gleamed even brighter. Without pausing after landing, it transformed into a streak of dark golden light once more, rushing straight towards Yan, who was temporarily unable to resist!

The other Star Origin Beasts, like sharks smelling blood, launched an even more frenzied attack!

It looked like Yan was about to be torn apart by that fatal blow!
At this critical moment!
A deep, booming voice, like a thunderclap, resounded at the mouth of the valley!

"Evil beast! Looking for death!"

boom!
A terrifying sword aura wreathed in crimson flames, like a spear of divine punishment, tore through the air with a piercing shriek, striking the dark gold leopard that was lunging at Yan with perfect precision!

boom! ! !
Amidst the deafening explosion, the dark gold leopard, whose strength was comparable to that of a second-level divine being, didn't even have time to let out a scream before its entire body exploded in the violent sword energy!

In an instant, it turned into a stench of blood that splashed everywhere!
This unexpected aid, like a divine intervention, made An Ruosu and the others grasp at a straw and stare intently at it!

The person who arrived was none other than "Long Fei," whom they had met once before!
At this moment, Ling Feng was like a war god descending to earth, walking step by step into the valley.

The longsword in his hand, burning with the flames of greed, exuded a chilling aura of destruction.

"It's Lord Long Fei!"

An Ruosu gasped in surprise, her eyes filled with unbelievable joy!

Chekhov and Lawrence were greatly encouraged, as if they had seen a savior!

Only Yan, with her back against the cold cliff, was breathing heavily, the sharp pain in her chest making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

She raised her blood-stained face, her eyes fixed on that familiar figure, a strange tremor rising in her heart.

It is him again!
Why is it always him who appears when I'm in the most danger?
Ling Feng's gaze swept across the entire room, lingering for a moment on the gruesome wound on Yan's chest. A flicker of barely suppressed heartache and anger flashed deep in his eyes. But he forcibly suppressed his emotions, maintaining a deliberately calm demeanor: "It seems you've run into some trouble."

With a flick of his wrist, the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword pointed diagonally at the ground, its crimson flames flickering erratically: "Those who can still move, charge out with me!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a scarlet afterimage and charged into the Star Origin Beast horde!

"You all die!"

boom!
Ling Feng no longer held back, unleashing the full power of the Seven Deadly Sins!

Wherever the sword light passed, it was like a raging storm sweeping across!

The Star Origin Beasts that rushed forward were easily crushed in an instant.

In an instant, the valley was filled with mournful roars of beasts, and severed limbs mixed with dark blue blood splattered everywhere!

"Quick! Follow Lord Longfei and break through!"

An Ruosu was the first to react. She immediately contracted the amethyst barrier and used her shoulder to support Yan's body, gritting her teeth as she asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Yan gritted her teeth and nodded slightly, saying, "It's alright, I can still walk!"

Chekhov then carried the dying Lawrence on his back and followed closely behind.

Under the cover of Ling Feng's ferocious, meat-grinding offensive, the four finally managed to gather around him and break through the encirclement with him.

……

Half an hour later.

Ling Feng led the group into a relatively secluded cave.

The auras of those Star Origin Beasts gradually faded away.

Although it was not difficult for him to kill the Star Origin Beasts, those Star Origin Beasts were immortal beings within the meandering star path.

Even if it is crushed into ashes, it can recover after a period of time.

Ling Feng naturally didn't want to get entangled with those monsters any longer.

After setting up a protective array near the cave, Ling Feng turned around to look at the four people behind him who were still in shock. His gaze finally landed on Yan, who was being supported by An Ruosu and stood up straight despite his pale face.

"Thank you so much, Lord Longfei, for saving my life once again!"

An Ruosu quickly bowed and paid her respects. Ling Feng had come to her rescue twice, both times in a very timely manner.

If it had been any later, her entire army would probably have been wiped out.

Chekhov laughed heartily and said, "Lord Longfei, I am deeply grateful. If you ever need my help in the future, please let me know!"

Ling Feng waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the wound on Yan's chest. The Star Fiend Qi was still eroding her. He said in a deep voice, "Her injury needs to be treated as soon as possible."

An Ruosu nodded quickly: "Yes, I'll help her purify it right away!"

She helped Yan sit down, her hands forming a mudra. A soft purple light enveloped Yan's wounds, beginning to dispel the stubborn dark gold energy.

Yan gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain brought on by the purification, but he didn't utter a single sound.

Seeing her stubborn gaze, Ling Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

It's unexpected that Yu Bingqing's personality hides such a side.

However, she only had some superficial injuries and was not seriously hurt, so Ling Feng was relieved.

His gaze shifted to Lawrence, who was lying on the ground; that guy's injuries were much more serious than Yan's.

Ling Feng casually tossed a few pills into Chekhov's hand and said indifferently, "Feed them to him."

"Thank you very much, Lord Longfei!"

Chekhov nodded, helped Lawrence up, and fed him a pill. Lawrence's condition did indeed improve.

Before long, An Ruosu had also purified the Star Fiend Qi in Yan's body. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, hesitated for a moment, and then walked up to Ling Feng and gave him a graceful bow.

"Lord Longfei..."

Ling Feng could tell from her expression that she wanted something from him.

He shrugged and said casually, "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you how you ended up provoking so many Star Origin Beasts?"

An Ruosu explained with a wry smile, "My lord, we are here for the 'Star-Gathering Lotus'."

"Oh? The Star Lotus?"

Ling Feng's gaze sharpened slightly. "What is this?"

Seeing that Ling Feng seemed somewhat interested, An Ruosu quickly explained, "The so-called Star-Gathering Lotus is a rare treasure that only grows in planes with star gods, nurtured by absorbing the remaining spiritual essence of ancient star spirits!"

"Ordinary Star Lotuses are called 'One-Epoch Star Lotuses,' containing only a weak amount of star energy. But if you can find a Star Lotus that is 'Three-Epoch' or even older, the star energy it contains will have a nourishing effect on the divine essence that far surpasses that of source material dust!"

Ling Feng's eyelids twitched slightly. "Wait, so the Star-Containing Lotus is a spiritual plant? But isn't this Detour Star Path the remains of a fallen star god? How could there be living things in it?"

An Ruosu quickly explained, "Yes, theoretically speaking, at the moment a Star God dies, all the star domains and planes within the Star God's body should also die. There shouldn't be any living beings. Only those Starry Nightmares or Star Origin Beasts, which are alien beings between life and death, can continue to exist. But the Star Lotus is an exception."

"Before the Star God falls, if the Star Lotus has reached the third epoch or above, it can bloom again from its fossilized state under the stimulation of the Star Source Beast's source energy. The Star Source Power contained in the blooming Star Lotus can greatly nourish the divine origin. It is said that the Star Source Power of the ninth epoch Star Lotus can even improve the rank of the divine office."

hiss!
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng's eyelids twitched violently.

The Nine-Epoch Star Lotus is truly defying the heavens!

An Ruosu paused, lowered her voice, and said with a hint of excitement, "What we discovered at Shattered Star Beach is a lotus pond containing star lotuses from the third era! There might even be star lotuses from the fourth era, or even the fifth era!"

"In our attempt to harvest those Star Lotuses, we alerted the Star Origin Beasts guarding the area and were chased all the way here..."

Lawrence added, still shaken.

Ling Feng's gaze narrowed slightly.

Lotus of Stars?
Star Origin Power?

Can it nourish or even elevate the very essence of clergy?
This might be of great benefit to his cultivation of the "Primordial Creation Technique"!
After all, the Primordial Creation was originally the cultivation method of the ancient star spirits!
The Three-Year Star Lotus already has such an effect; if one could find one of even higher age…

Even for him, this was quite a stroke of luck!
He quickly looked at An Ruosu: "Miss An, I wonder how many Star Origin Beasts are guarding that lotus pond?"

An Ruosu shook her head: "I don't know the exact number, but it's definitely not small. We only approached the outer perimeter before, and it attracted so many... There are probably even more powerful beings in the core area."

"Lord Long Fei!"

An Ruosu took a deep breath, suddenly raised her head, her eyes pleading, "You are so powerful, could you... could you lend us a hand? If we successfully harvest the Star Lotus, you alone will receive 70% of the harvest!" (End of Chapter)
