Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

Within the chess game.

The Nine Li Divine Fire is burning fiercely.

Ling Feng felt as if his body was being burned to ashes inch by inch.

Pain, indescribable pain.

But what hurts more than the body is the heart.

Ling Feng's consciousness drifted in the flames, as if it might dissipate completely at any moment.

However, just before consciousness was about to sink into eternal darkness—

In the firelight, he could vaguely make out a face.

That was Mu Qianxue's face.

She stood deep within the flames, quietly watching him, a gentle and serene smile on her face.

Immediately afterwards, she floated gently to Ling Feng's side, like a spirit in the firelight.

She gently raised her hands, as if cupping Ling Feng's cheeks.

In an instant, Ling Feng's heart trembled, and he stared at the girl in front of him, tears blurring his vision.

"I'm sorry, Qianxue, I..."

"Brother Ling, don't blame yourself."

Her voice rang out softly, as if transcending time and space, reaching directly into the depths of his soul, "That was my own choice. I'm happy to be able to do something for you."

"But……"

"Nothing but."

Mu Qianxue gently shook her head, her smile becoming even more tender. "On the contrary, I should feel gratified. Originally, there was no trace of my existence left in this world, but you were still able to remember me again, allowing me to exist in your memory forever. That is enough for me."

"The past is irreversible, so don't torture yourself with my departure."

She leaned down gently, as if wanting to lightly kiss Ling Feng's cheek, but her red lips passed through Ling Feng's body and turned into specks of light.

They ultimately do not exist in the same dimension and can no longer touch each other.

"Put it down, Brother Ling."

"Carry my love with me, and keep moving forward."

"Go and become the one who can protect everything."

Ling Feng wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. At this moment, the deep-rooted thorn that had always been hidden in Ling Feng's heart finally loosened quietly...

It turns out he was wrong all along.

Mu Qianxue's sacrifice was never meant to burden him with guilt and pain.

Instead, she hoped that he could continue on his journey, carrying her blessings, to protect more people who deserve to be protected.

But he trapped himself in a cage of regret.

Goodbye, Brother Ling!

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Qianxue's smile slowly faded away in the firelight.

Goodbye, Qianxue!

In the firelight, Ling Feng finally revealed a relieved smile.

Laugh at your own foolishness, laugh at your own stubbornness.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the golden Nine Li Divine Fire danced around him, yet it could no longer harm him in the slightest.

"At least this time, we can say goodbye properly! I will never forget you again!"

In an instant, an indescribable aura erupted from Ling Feng's body!

"boom!!!--"

The golden sea of ​​fire that had devoured him was forcefully shattered by this aura!
Ling Feng's figure reappeared.

His wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, his broken bones were remodeled, and his flesh and blood, which had been eroded by the poisonous fire, were restored to their original state.

Immediately afterwards, his aura, which had been steadily declining, began to surge wildly!
Creation Realm... Destiny Realm... Nine Revolutions Realm... Divine Realm... Half-Step Immortal...

Then, break through the barrier and step into the true realm of the Immortal!

But this has not stopped.

Early stage, middle stage, late stage, peak stage of the Void Immortal realm...

Immortal Lord!

Immortal Lord!

Immortal Emperor!

……

Judgment level!
Truth level!
Cleric rank!
Ultimately, it reached a level that transcended divine authority, a level that was profound and mysterious.

That was a level he had never reached even when he fused the powers of the Chaos Star God and the Chaos Dragon God.

When the flaws in his mindset were completely resolved, Ling Feng no longer needed to rely on past battles to reshape his mindset.

He simply stood there, without any energy fluctuations around him, yet he seemed to have merged with the world around him.

No, it's not a fusion.

But...

Dominate everything!
"This...this is..."

Outside the chessboard, Yuanxu Qiuniu's enormous bull eyes flashed with horrified light. "The realm of gods! He did it! My God, what happened? The game has only just begun, how could he have achieved this in an instant! Unbelievable, truly unbelievable!"

Thunder Emperor Tyrant Bear also looked at Ling Feng in shock, then turned to look at Abyss Void Prisoner.

It wasn't because Ling Feng had suddenly leaped through countless levels that I was shocked.

Rather, he had never seen the third overlord show such a surprised expression before.

The fact that Ling Feng could shock Yuanxu Qiuniu to this extent clearly shows that he must have accomplished something extraordinary.

"So, Ninth Brother's trial is over? Has he passed the chess game?"

Thunder Emperor Tyrant Bear blinked and asked cautiously.

Let's see.

Yuanxu Qiuniu stared intently at Ling Feng, his voice filled with rare excitement, "The realm of gods is a transformation of the mind. Only when the mind reaches the level of 'god' can one truly control the power of creation without being devoured by it."

He took a deep breath and continued, "Once his mindset crosses the threshold of the divine realm, he can truly grasp the foundation of creation and thus give birth to the power of creation. In a sense, at this moment, Ninth Brother is already an immortal god."

"hiss!"

Thunder Emperor Tyrant Bear gasped, "Fourth Brother was still one step away, this guy is a monster! How long has it been!"

"No wonder my brother said this kid is different. He might really be able to defeat those Star Hunters and reclaim the Pillars of Creation!"

Yuanxu Qiuniu's eyes gleamed with immense excitement.

In fact, once Ling Feng emerged from that chess game, his power of chaotic creation would be enough to surpass him.

Meanwhile, inside the chessboard.

The transformed Ling Feng slowly raised his head and looked at Mu Longcheng, whose expression had changed drastically.

No, he should be called the Evil Bone Demon Lord now.

Because on that face, the fortitude and righteousness that belonged to Mu Longcheng had long since vanished, replaced by an ugly, ferocious face.

He kept switching between the two forms because at this moment, he sensed a terrifying threat from Ling Feng that could be fatal.

And that's exactly what happened.

At this moment, the Evil Bone Demon Lord is nothing more than a clown to Ling Feng, who has returned to his peak.

"No... Impossible! This is impossible!!! You... you were clearly... turned to ashes in the Nine Li Divine Fire!"

The Evil Bone Demon Lord stared intently at Ling Feng, his voice trembling.

"Perhaps I should thank you for reappearing, which allowed me to resolve my inner conflict."

Ling Feng calmly interrupted him, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger, "And now, it's time to end it. Even if you're just a fantasy, just an obsession, looking at your face is still so repulsive!"

He raised his hand, palm facing up.

The Ten Directions Annihilation sword flew into his hand automatically, its blade trembling slightly and emitting a pleasant, clear sound.

Immediately afterwards, the longsword began to change and extend, eventually transforming into a halberd that was entirely black, with its blade wreathed in chaotic power.

It is the Ten Directions Heavenly Punishment!

"go to hell!"

Ling Feng gripped the Heavenly Punishment Halberd tightly, its tip pointing diagonally at the ground, his gaze locked onto the Evil Bone Demon Lord.

No, they are two evil demon lords.

In Ling Feng's current perception, the figure before him existed simultaneously in both the "present world" and the "border prison" dimensions. This was the most troublesome aspect of the Evil Bone Demon Lord; if he wasn't killed in both dimensions at the same time, he could use the Border Prison Reincarnation to be reborn infinitely.

"You're playing tricks! Die!"

With a fierce roar, the Evil Bone Demon Lord once again urged the Poison Fire Demon Dragon to pounce.

At the same time, the six-pointed star array beneath his feet shone brightly, and countless black bone spikes rose from the ground, blocking all of Ling Feng's escape routes.

This time, however, Ling Feng didn't even move.

He simply raised his left hand slightly, his five fingers loosely clenched.

"Certainly."

Follow your words.

All the poisonous fire dragons that rushed towards him, all the bone spikes that erupted, even the flying pebbles and drifting dust in the air...

Everything froze in mid-air.

Time seemed to have been paused.

The Evil Bone Demon Lord's eyes widened as he discovered that he was completely unable to move!
No, it's not that I can't move.

His "existence" was "locked" by some higher-level force.

"You...what did you do?!"

The voice of the Evil Bone Demon Lord was filled with fear.

"nothing."

Ling Feng finally moved.

He took a step forward, and his figure instantly appeared in front of the Evil Bone Demon Lord, slowly raising the Heavenly Punishment in his hand.

The movements were so slow that the Evil Bone Demon Lord could clearly see the flow of every pattern on the halberd blade.

But he couldn't escape it.

No, it's not that you can't avoid it.

Every possibility and every future of his "existence" was locked away by this halberd.

"It's a gamble."

Ling Feng uttered four words softly.

Then, Tianzhu flew out of his hand.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, no dazzling brilliance.

Only a single, extremely simple black light pierced through the void, through dimensions, and through the "present world" and the "border prison".

"laugh."

With a soft sound, a hole the size of a bowl was pierced through the chest of the Evil Bone Demon Lord.

There was no blood splattering, nor did he explode and die.

He stood frozen in place, looking down at the empty hole in his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"No...impossible...my own Border Prison Reincarnation...how could this be..."

“The border prison is also part of ‘existence’.”

Ling Feng reached out, and Tianzhu automatically flew back into his palm, transforming back into the form of the Ten Directions Annihilation.

"But this halberd of mine is not severing your physical body, nor your soul, but your very 'existence'."

He turned away, no longer looking at the Evil Bone Demon Lord.

"From this day forward, in all the heavens and myriad realms, past and future, there will be no more Evil Bone Demon Lord."

"You never existed."

The moment the words fell, the figure of the Evil Bone Demon Lord vanished like sand in the wind.

Along with any trace of his existence, all his past causes and effects were erased.

It's as if this person and this history never existed in the world.

This is the true terror of the foundation of creation.

It can not only create everything, but also erase everything!
……

"Rumble..."

The summit of Mount Tai began to collapse and dissipate.

The surrounding scenery peeled away like faded paintings, revealing a vast and complex labyrinthine passageway behind.

Ling Feng stood with his sword in hand, quietly watching everything unfold.

He could feel that with the "disappearance" of the Evil Bone Demon Lord, the last trace of gloom in his heart had completely dissipated.

A state of mind, perfect and flawless.

Power returned like a tide.

No, it's not just a return.

It's sublimation!
"So, this is why Third Brother stopped me..."

Ling Feng slowly closed his eyes, feeling the new, vast power within his body.

Under his divine mindset, the foundation of creation was no longer the untamed and difficult-to-control "beast," but instead transformed into a docile colt.

From the previous Hurricane Devouring Python, to the Boundary Severing, and then to the Abyss Prisoner Bull...

Every step I've taken was probably within the expectations of the Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon, or perhaps even its arrangement.

Is this the only true overlord of the sea of ​​behemoths truly trying to help me return to my original world, or does he have another purpose?

Ling Feng didn't know, but at least from the current perspective, his realm had undergone qualitative changes and advancements time and time again as he overcame all the obstacles along the way.

And that's exactly what he needs!

"Om-"

At the same time, the maze beneath his feet began to tremble, and countless starlight surged in from all directions, converging around him.

Immediately afterwards, the entire maze shattered!
In a flash, Ling Feng found himself once again standing above that vast starry chessboard.

Ahead, there lay the lazy, coiled Yuanxu Qiuniu, and the excited, waving-fisted Leidi Tyrant Xiong.

"Three-Eyes! You did it! Hahaha, I knew you could do it!"

The Thunder Emperor Tyrant Bear charged forward, its massive paw slamming onto Ling Feng's shoulder, causing him to stumble.

"Congratulations, Ninth Brother."

A look of satisfaction appeared in Yuanxu Qiuniu's huge bull eyes, and he began to address Ling Feng as "Ninth Brother".

At this moment, he truly acknowledged that this outsider was capable of standing on equal footing with them, these born overlords.

He looked Ling Feng up and down, feigning composure, and said, "Now that your state of mind has reached the level of a god, you are truly qualified to control the power of creation and face the Star Hunter Clan."

Ling Feng took a deep breath and bowed solemnly to Yuanxu Qiuniu, "Thank you for your kindness, Third Brother!"

This greeting was given with genuine sincerity.

If it weren't for the chess game, he probably would never have been able to resolve the deepest mental obstacles in his heart, let alone elevate his state of mind to the "divine realm" in such a short time.

"No need to thank me. This is my elder brother's arrangement, and it is also your own good fortune."

Yuanxu Qiuniu swayed its dragon tail, "In fact, when you entered the Yixing Chess Game, the game automatically evolved and split into three heavens. I didn't expect you to complete the final transformation in just the first level! You're truly an incredible guy! Tell me, how exactly did you do it?"

After all, from the perspectives of Yuanxu Qiuniu and Leidi Tyrant Xiong, Ling Feng was almost burned to death, and then his aura inexplicably began to surge.

What exactly happened in those raging flames, they truly had no idea.

"Uh...it was just a coincidence."

Ling Feng chuckled dryly, raised his hand and touched the bridge of his nose. If he followed his own experience step by step, he would indeed need to continue to face even more powerful enemies from the Immortal Realm, and then from the Divine World.

Through these battles, one can achieve a state of complete inner peace.

But Mu Qianxue's appearance cleared away all the subsequent obstacles.

He took a deep breath, and a glimmer of hope welled up within him.

Since the power of the Foundation of Creation can erase all of the Evil Bone Demon Lord's existence, conversely, if I were to rediscover the existence of Mu Qianxue, could I "recreate" her?

Back then, in that River of White Bones, the Ancient Witch Dragon, to express his gratitude, sealed Mu Qianxue's last wisp of existence within that Star Stone necklace.

Perhaps, he could use that necklace to completely "take back" Mu Qianxue.

He remembered that before his final battle with Emperor Yiting, he had entrusted the necklace to Empress Qingluo, asking her to pass it on to her daughter, Rufeng.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng clenched his fists, becoming even more determined to return to his original world.

No one, no matter who, can stop him! (End of Chapter)
