Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

Seeing that Ya made a vow with his original heart, Ling Feng's doubts dissipated.

After all, according to the Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix, the Star Hunter race should be an extremely proud race.

Ya dared to make such a vow, so it's unlikely he was deliberately deceiving himself to trick him into releasing the archer named You first.

But that place was forever reduced to ruins...

Ling Feng looked up at the cliff, his three blood-red eyes flashing.

He could sense the emotional fluctuations among the Star Hunter team members around him when Ya uttered the words "Eternal Fall to Ruins".

It was a complex emotion mixed with fear and schadenfreude.

Clearly, that Eternal Ruins is no good place!

But as Cliff said, this is currently the only way to gain the Star Hunter Clan's approval and get close to the Pillars of Creation.

He has no choice.

At least, there is still a glimmer of hope if we enter the Eternal Ruins.

Even if this glimmer of hope is so faint as to be almost nonexistent.

"it is good!"

After a long silence, Ling Feng finally spoke, "I agree."

With a thought, the silver-gray chaotic realm behind him rippled slowly, spreading out like waves on the surface of water.

Immediately afterwards, a silver figure was "spit out" from the ripples, staggering and falling into the void; it was none other than You, the archer.

"quiet!"

When the spearman Lian saw You Bei released, he immediately cried out in surprise and rushed forward to support You.

You's face was ashen, her breath was extremely weak, and her silver armor was torn in many places, revealing her cracked skin underneath.

Clearly, within the Chaos Realm, he was not only imprisoned but also subjected to the continuous erosion of the Chaos Power. Although his life was not in danger, his essence was severely damaged.

"asshole!"

As soon as Youyi left the Chaos Realm, she turned and glared at Ling Feng, her killing intent almost tangible.

He struggled to stand upright, the silver longbow coalescing in his hand once more: "You scruffy monkey, I'm going to kill you—"

"enough!"

Cliff's icy voice interrupted You's roar.

His gaze swept over You, his eyes calm and expressionless, yet it sent a shiver down You's spine, and the words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back.

"Captain..."

You lowered her head, her voice filled with resentment and humiliation.

"If you're not as skilled as others, just accept your fate!"

Cliff's voice was flat, "After you go back, go to the 'Hall of Asceticism' to receive your punishment: one hundred Beast Sea Calendars of seclusion!"

You's body trembled, her face turning even paler, but she dared not refute, and could only whisper, "Yes..."

Ya stopped looking at him and turned to look at Ling Feng.

He raised his right hand and gently clenched it with his palm facing upward.

hum! ——

The giant silver net that enveloped the void began to shrink, and countless silver threads as thin as hairs seemed to come alive as they converged, eventually transforming into a palm-sized, dazzlingly complex silver rune, which floated lightly into the palm of the cliff.

As the giant silver net disappeared, the oppressive power also dissipated, and Ling Feng immediately felt his body lighten, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

He stared intently at the cliff, not letting his guard down completely.

"Let's close the team."

The next moment, Ya gave a casual order, and the Star Hunter team members who had been surrounding him all put away their weapons and retreated behind him.

Although his gaze toward Ling Feng was still full of hostility and disdain, at least he showed no intention of making a move again.

Ya then looked at Ling Feng again, his deep blue eyes flashing with a sharp light: "What's your name?"

"Ling Feng".

Ling Feng answered truthfully.

"I am Cliff, the captain of the third team of the Holy Guard of the Eternal Silence Temple."

Ya introduced himself calmly, "The person to my left is Vice Captain Yan, and the person to my right is Vice Captain Hong."

Xing Shouyan, who wielded the flaming longsword, grinned at Ling Feng, revealing a cold and emotionless smile.

Hong, wielding a menacing spear, merely glanced coldly at Ling Feng, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Ling Feng nodded slightly to the two of them as a greeting.

He could sense that the two vice-captains' strength had already touched the threshold of the "singularity".

As for the cliff...

It is even more unfathomable!

"Come with me."

Just then, Ya suddenly turned around and flew towards the incredibly massive palace. "Since you've chosen to enter the Eternal Ruins, then hurry up."

"Let's go!"

Hong swept his spear across the room, giving Ling Feng a warning look.

If he dared to run away, he would show no mercy with his spear.

Ling Feng took a deep breath and followed.

Yan and Hong exchanged a glance and followed him on either side, seemingly casually, but in reality, they blocked all possible escape routes for him.

The rest of the team followed behind, forming a semi-circular encirclement.

Before long, Ling Feng, surrounded by a group of Star Hunters, had entered the Eternal Silence Temple.

As the distance closed, the sheer size and majesty of the palace became even more striking to Ling Feng's senses.

From a distance, it just looked ridiculously big.

Only when he got really close did Ling Feng realize that he had underestimated its size.

The "walls" of that palace...

It unfolded right before my eyes, extending upwards, leftwards, and rightwards, until the very end of my field of vision.

He seems to be...

Expansion!

Yes, this is clearly an ever-expanding palace.

The Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon once said that the entire Sea of ​​Giant Beasts was itself expanding.

Is there some kind of relationship between these two?
"We need to speed things up!"

Ya glanced back at Ling Feng, and as soon as he finished speaking, his speed suddenly increased dramatically.

Ling Feng's gaze sharpened, and he hurriedly activated the power of chaos and creation to catch up.

The deeper Ling Feng went into the palace, the more astonished he became.

Even the materials used in this palace were beyond Ling Feng's comprehension.

It was a substance he had never seen before, neither metal nor stone, neither light nor shadow. It seemed to possess both the substance of matter and the illusion of energy, existing between existence and non-existence.

When he tried to perceive it using the power of chaos, the feedback he received was a bottomless "emptiness".

It is not nothingness, but a kind of "emptiness" that transcends the current cognitive dimension.

"What...is this palace?"

Ling Feng couldn't help but ask.

Without turning back from the cliff ahead, he said in a calm voice, "The Temple of Eternal Silence."

"I mean, what is it made of?"

Ling Feng pressed further, "I've never seen this material before."

“I’ve never seen anything like it. This is ‘Constant Matter.’ The entire temple is made of Constant Matter. It both exists and does not exist; it is both matter and law. How about that, isn’t it amazing?”

This time, it was Flame who answered him.

This vice-captain's personality is somewhat similar to his element: fire. Compared to the others, he's a bit more enthusiastic.

Ling Feng remained silent.

He was truly shocked.

But what kind of being could build such a massive palace?

After all, whether it was captains like Ya, Yan, and Hong, or ordinary members like You and Lian, although they were all one or two times taller than him, they were still very small compared to this temple.

In other words, this is probably not the "size" suitable for these star hunters to live in.

After all, the Eighth Hunting Ancestor was even smaller than the cliff.

It is said that the size of the Star Hunter clan is not entirely positively correlated with their strength.

Clearly, such a massive palace was probably not originally the residence of the Star Hunter clan.

The true owner of this palace must be some kind of much larger and more powerful being.

Yes!

The true owner of this palace is probably the creator god himself!
Led by the cliff, Lingfeng sped along.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Ling Feng passed through a colorful, misty doorway, he suddenly felt a slight "penetration," as if he had passed through a layer of water film.

Then, the view in front of me suddenly opened up.

What comes into view is a corridor wide enough for dozens of celestial beasts to walk side by side.

The corridor stretched forward, seemingly without end.

There is a closed door at intervals on both sides. The door has an ancient design and is carved with intricate starry sky patterns.

A faint, sandalwood-like scent filled the air.

"Are we there yet?"

Ling Feng's eyelids twitched, and he asked.

"It's still early!"

Yan snorted lightly, "It's just that we've entered the territory of our Star Hunter clan."

He paused, then continued, "This Temple of Eternal Silence is enormous, beyond your imagination. In fact, even for our Star Hunter clan, it's not a place we can go anywhere. The territory where our clan is active is probably only about one-thousandth of the entire Temple of Eternal Silence."

Ling Feng took a deep breath. The Nirvana Fire Domain of the Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix was already quite vast.

But in comparison, the size of this Eternal Silence Temple is probably equivalent to hundreds of millions of Nirvana Fire Domains!
Even billions, trillions!

"The Eternal Ruins you are about to go to is a place that even my clan cannot control."

Just as Yan finished speaking, she suddenly realized something, quickly covered her mouth, glanced at Ya, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Ya did not mean to blame her.

The team flew swiftly through this seemingly endless corridor.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, we finally reached the "end".

Before them lay a swirling wall of gray mist.

The fog wall slowly rotated, with a faint, eerie light flickering inside, exuding a sense of oppressive unease.

Cliff stopped in front of the wall of mist and turned to look at Lingfeng.

"arrive."

He said calmly, "Break through this 'boundary fog' and you'll reach the entrance to the Eternal Ruins."

Ling Feng stared at the dark gray wall of mist, his three blood-red pupils slightly contracting.

He could sense that the interior of the fog wall contained an extremely dangerous aura, an aura that even caused his own chaotic origin to instinctively reject it.

"I have one more question before I go in."

Ling Feng looked at the cliff, "Eternal Ruins... what exactly is this place? You said it was a death ground for punishing serious criminals, but what exactly is it? What's inside? What are the trials?"

Ya remained silent for a moment, his dark blue eyes gleaming as if he were weighing something.

Finally, he slowly spoke: "Telling you won't hurt. For my race, the Eternal Ruins are like an execution ground."

"The execution ground?" Ling Feng frowned.

"You can think of it as being exiled to the Eternal Ruins, which is equivalent to a death sentence."

Ling Feng felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

For a powerful race like the Star Hunters, this was tantamount to a death sentence, which gives you an idea of ​​the dangers lurking within.

"As for what exactly lies within the Eternal Ruins..."

Ya was silent for a moment before continuing, "In fact, I don't know either. After all, since the beginning of our clan, countless clansmen have entered the Eternal Ruins. Among them were heinous criminals who were to be executed, as well as some exceptionally talented geniuses who wanted to explore the secrets. But almost without exception, they all died inside."

"This……"

Ling Feng's eyelids twitched violently. "Could it be that not a single one of them came out alive?"

“There are also three!” Yan held up three fingers. “There are three that came out from within the Eternal Ruins.”

"Three!"

Ling Feng's eyes lit up. "That means there's still a chance to come out alive. Didn't they tell us what the situation inside is like?"

"He's gone mad, talking nonsense all day long. His personality has completely collapsed. You can't get anything out of him."

Yan shrugged and continued, "The other one is ruined. He has lost all six senses. He can't see, speak, or hear... In fact, his sea of ​​consciousness is completely blank. It's more accurate to say that he came out as a shell than as a living person."

"As for the last one, he took his own life as soon as he came out, and his last words were: 'Relief.'"

Ling Feng remained silent.

No wonder those Star Hunter team members had that kind of expression when they heard "Eternal Ruins".

This is a deadly path, even more terrifying than death itself.

"so."

Ya looked at Ling Feng, his voice calm, "After knowing all this, do you still have the guts to go in? But in any case, you have no room for regret."

Ling Feng raised his head, and the dark gray wall of mist was reflected in his three blood-red eyes.

After a long pause, he shook his head and smiled, slowly exhaling a breath of stale air. A resolute glint flashed in his eyes: "What deadly place, dangerous place, death place? I've entered too many in my life. I only know that I must use the Pillar of Creation to return to my original world. So, I'm willing to go in and give it a try!"

"Not bad!"

Ya Shen gave him a deep look and nodded: "I'm starting to admire you a little. Beast Spirit... no, Ling Feng, right? If you can really get out of that Eternal Ruins, my previous vow will definitely stand!"

He paused, then added, "Also, there's something else I need to remind you. As an outsider, you don't have the blood of my Star Hunter clan. Once you enter the Eternal Ruins, the distortion and rejection of the laws you experience will probably be more than ten times stronger!"

Ten times... or even more!

A bitter smile appeared on Ling Feng's face.

What if it was already a hopeless situation with no chance of survival, and then it was amplified tenfold?
That was no longer a desperate situation, but a complete and utter death trap.

"In any case, thank you for telling me the truth."

Ling Feng nodded towards the cliff, his tone sincere.

He could have kept quiet, but at least he told himself the truth.

This allows him to prepare himself mentally in advance.

Ya seemed somewhat surprised by Ling Feng's thanks. After a moment of silence, he said, "I thought you would be even more frustrated."

"If feeling frustrated is helpful, I certainly don't mind feeling frustrated a lot."

Ling Feng shrugged, then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Captain Ya, may I ask you another question?"

"You're asking a lot of questions..."

Ya frowned slightly. "However, since you still have some courage, go ahead and ask."

"Was it the Eighth Hunting Ancestor's will that led me into the Eternal Ruins?"

Ling Feng's sudden question made Ya's eyelids twitch.

"How did you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a hint of regret immediately arose in his eyes.

This is tantamount to a tacit admission.

He frowned, then crossed his arms, feigning indifference, and said, "Think what you want! It's about time, go inside!" (End of Chapter)
