Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

Leaving the valley, Soul Cry's speed suddenly increased.

She was clearly extremely eager to find that "Star Hunter." Her body was carried by a gray-white mist, and she moved silently and swiftly towards the southeast under the dark red sky, like a ghost.

Ling Feng followed closely behind, running in the form of a three-eyed giant ape. His dark gray fur swept backward in the raging wind of annihilation power, and each step left deep claw marks on the cracked ground.

In the blink of an eye, the two had been away from the valley for more than half a day and had arrived at a desolate mountain area.

"Damn it, the efficiency is still too low!"

Hunqi cursed under his breath, his figure flashed, and he stopped on a relatively flat hill.

Ling Feng strode to within ten steps of Hun Qi, then bent down, appearing submissive.

Although he was itching to make a move, he knew he was still too close to the valley, so he had to continue his disguise and wait for the perfect opportunity.

Just then, Hunqi suddenly opened his arms wide!

hum!
An invisible surge of divine soul energy suddenly spread out from her center, like ripples caused by a stone thrown into stagnant water, instantly covering a large area.

Wherever the ripples passed, the lower-ranking Darkborn of the Death Star, who were wandering in the ravines, crevices, and ruins, froze in place.

In their eyes, the same blood-tear phantoms as those in Soul Cry's eyes simultaneously appeared.

The phantoms flickered, like ignited soul flames, temporarily suppressing the originally violent consciousness of these Darkborn, and directly controlling them with Soul Cry.

"In my name, disperse!"

Hunqi let out a low cry, his voice carrying a strange rhythm.

slam-la-

In an instant, more than two hundred lower-level Darkborn of various shapes and sizes moved at the same time.

Some burrowed into underground fissures, some climbed towering stone pillars, and some spread their tattered wings to glide at low altitudes...

Each Darkin became an extension of Soul Cry's eyes and ears, transmitting everything it heard and saw back to Soul Cry's mind.

Ling Feng watched quietly from the side, secretly shocked.

This is even more outrageous than his Infinite Vision.

Fortunately, Soul Cry did not use this ability on the lower-ranking Darkin from the beginning.

Otherwise, his previous killing of three Darkin controlled by Soul Cry would have exposed him long ago.

What a stroke of luck!

However, it seems that Soul Cry also bears a considerable burden after using this ability.

After all, even the so-called lower-level Darkborn are still Darkborns of the Death Star who were able to escape into the Creation Realm, and they have all reached a level comparable to the Ancestor of the Hunting Lineage.

It's no easy task for Soul Cry to suppress hundreds of beings comparable to a lineage's ancestor on his own.

Soul Cry's body trembled slightly, and the gray-white mist around him surged violently.

Soon, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, sliding down her blurred facial contours and merging into the mist around her waist.

"Huh...huh..."

She was breathing heavily, and although her eyes, filled with blood and tears, remained open, their light had dimmed considerably.

Those eyes reflected countless rapidly flashing, fragmented images.

The shadows of ravines, the tops of stone pillars, the corners of ruins, the depths of mist...

Countless perspectives and countless images flooded into her consciousness like a torrent.

She had to process, sift through, and analyze this massive amount of information in an instant, searching for any possible clues.

This undoubtedly requires a significant amount of mental energy.

However, this was good news for Ling Feng.

The more she expends, the weaker she becomes. Only when she is weak enough will she be truly foolproof!

A moment later, Hunqi's expression darkened, clearly indicating that he had gained nothing again.

She frowned, glanced back at Ling Feng, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

After saying that, he continued speeding towards the southeastern outskirts.

……

Two more days have passed.

Every time Soul Cry travels a certain distance, she uses her previous ability to manipulate lower-level Darkin to control even more Darkins, making them her eyes and ears.

Over the course of two days, the number of lower-level Darkin under her control had increased to nearly a thousand.

Its coverage area has almost covered the entire southeastern periphery and has even spread to other mid-level areas.

But without a doubt, they still gained nothing.

This is a perfect example of the saying "the darkest place is under the lamp." She frantically searched for Ling Feng every day, but little did she know that Ling Feng was right under her nose.

Seeing her dejected, frustrated, and weak appearance after each failure, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

He's quite capable, but not very bright.

"Huh...huh..."

After another extensive exploration, Soul Cry's face turned as pale as paper, and the gray-white mist that had been surrounding him began to thin out.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!! Where the hell is that damned Star Hunter hiding...?"

Hunqi gasped for breath while cursing wildly, his voice filled with undisguised exhaustion.

She landed on a huge brown rock, and grayish-white mist carried her body down slowly.

Upon landing, some of them couldn't even stand up and almost collapsed to the ground.

Exercising that search ability at such a high intensity almost drained all of her mental energy.

She looked at Ling Feng weakly and whispered, "Grey Ape, come here."

Ling Feng obediently walked to her side, lowered his head, and knelt down in front of the boulder at her feet.

Hunqi reached out and pressed his hand on Lingfeng's head. Lingfeng felt a faint mental fluctuation sweep across his body.

That was Hunqi checking his condition through the soul imprint. Only after confirming that everything was normal did she withdraw her hand and breathe a sigh of relief.

This woman is quite cautious, actually.

"Grey Ape, I need to rest for a while. You stay by my side and don't let anything get close."

Her voice was already a little hoarse: "Anything that threatens my safety will be killed without exception, understand?"

"Roar……"

Ling Feng let out a low, submissive roar, his forelimbs slightly bent, adopting a posture of sworn loyalty.

However, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself, thinking, "Isn't the biggest threat to you right now me?"

You should rest well. I will take good care of you, very well indeed!
Hunqi nodded in satisfaction and said no more.

She sat cross-legged on the rock, and the gray-white mist slowly contracted, forming a hazy cocoon around her.

She temporarily severed those connections with the lower-ranking Darkborn, bringing all information flow to an abrupt halt.

His breathing gradually became steady.

The aura of Soul Cry began to sink into a semi-dormant state, a recovery method unique to the Darkin.

Her consciousness gradually sank, and her perception of the outside world decreased to a minimum.

Only the most basic sense of alertness remains in our instincts.

But at this moment, even that vigilance had been largely worn down by exhaustion.

Ling Feng stood quietly beside her, his three eyes fixed on his "master" without blinking.

The perfect opportunity I've been waiting for has finally arrived!
It's now!

The hunt is on!
Almost three days had passed since they left the valley, a distance far enough that it was impossible for Yingzhi to arrive immediately.

Soul Cry is currently at its weakest point.

He did not act immediately, but slowly adjusted his breathing, circulating the chaotic essence within his body to its limit.

Power surged through the veins, and muscle fibers tightened like fully drawn bowstrings.

Soul Cry remained asleep, completely unaware of the impending murderous intent that was right before its eyes.

step!
step!
Ling Feng slowly circled around to behind Hun Qi, his gaze fixed on her back. At this moment, he was only three steps away from Hun Qi.

With his current explosive power, he can cover that distance in an instant.

Ling Feng's gaze sharpened, and then the next moment—

He moved!
His figure sprang up like a ghost, his claws on his forelimbs wreathed in chaotic power, silently tearing through the air and piercing straight into Soul Cry's back.

He had been planning this attack for three whole days.

Just as the claws were about to touch Soul Cry's body, her eyes suddenly snapped open!

"what?!"

At this critical moment, Soul Cry sensed a deadly crisis from the outside world.

But it was too late for her to react.

Ling Feng's claws had already torn through the mist, and the power of chaos and the power of annihilation collided, emitting a hissing corrosive sound.

laugh!
The sharp claws sliced ​​across Soul Cry's left shoulder, tearing her dress and leaving three deep, bone-revealing bloodstains on her snow-white skin!
"what!"

Hunqi let out a sharp scream, blood gushing from her wound. Her body was also sent flying by the force of the blow, crashing heavily into a huge rock and shattering the hard rock into pieces.

"you……"

Hunqi staggered and barely managed to steady herself, the excruciating pain in her left shoulder contorting her face.

She glanced down at the wound; three claw marks had almost torn her shoulder apart, and grayish-white blood was gushing out, with a faint golden light emanating from the edges of the wound.

That was definitely not the power of annihilation!

She suddenly looked up, staring intently at Ling Feng, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Grey Ape!!!"

Her voice was shrill and piercing, filled with hysterical roars as she screamed, "You ungrateful beast! I gave you the chance to evolve, to be my bodyguard, and you dare to betray me!"

Ling Feng slowly retracted his claws, which were stained with grayish-white blood, and calmly met her gaze with his three eyes.

There was no roaring, no howling, just quiet observation.

That calm gaze sent a chill down Hunqi's spine.

"Very good...very good!"

Hunqi gritted her teeth, and gray-white mist surged wildly around her, as if echoing her master's rage.

"You think you can kill me by sneaking up on me? How naive!"

She raised her right hand, her fingers loosely clenched, and an invisible force instantly stirred the blood-red mark deep within Ling Feng's soul—

"Don't forget, your life is still in my hands!"

Hunqi's voice was as cold as frost: "Kneel down now! Otherwise, I will crush the Soul Seal and kill you on the spot!"

The soul imprint trembled violently within Ling Feng's soul, emitting a scorching aura, as if it might explode at any moment.

However, Ling Feng revealed a strange smile, gestured "please" to Hun Qi, and said indifferently, "Do as you please."

"Can you speak?"

Soul Cry's pupils suddenly contracted.

I never expected that this intermediate-level Darkborn would have evolved to this extent.

It was indeed my carelessness.

But she had already checked, and the soul imprint she had planted was still there, so there was absolutely no way anything could go wrong.

"No wonder you dared to harbor rebellious thoughts; you've evolved to such an extent! But you've betrayed the wrong person!"

Hun Qi was furious, his five fingers clenching tightly: "In my eyes, there is only one fate for a traitor, and that is death!"

"broken!"

With a sharp shout, the blood-red soul imprint deeply engraved in Ling Feng's "Destroy the Origin" suddenly exploded!

"Hahaha! This is what happens when you betray me!"

Hunqi burst into wild laughter. In her eyes, this ignorant "gray ape" would immediately wail in pain as its soul source was torn apart, and die from a broken soul!

But the next moment-

Hunqi's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped.

The "Grey Ape" opposite only swayed slightly, and then...

And that was the end of it.

Hunqi's expression froze instantly, turning into utter astonishment and bewilderment.

Ling Feng shook his head, as if he had only been bitten by a mosquito.

He raised his right hand, lightly patted his chest, and gave a mocking smile. "That's it?"

"No...it's impossible! My soul imprint clearly..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Ling Feng's fist had already slammed solidly into her face!

boom! !

A dull, loud bang.

Soul Cry's body was like a kite with a broken string, blasted away by the force of this punch. Grayish-white mist exploded in the air, and his body burst out in a cloud of blood mist.

The grayish-white blood drew an arc in the air.

Before she even landed, Ling Feng's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

The next instant, he appeared above Soul Cry.

The massive body pressed down like a small mountain, its hands gripping Hunqi's shoulders tightly, slamming her to the ground from mid-air!

boom!--

The earthquake trembled, and the hard rock was smashed into a human-shaped dent, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading in all directions.

Hunqi lay face up at the bottom of the pit, her gray-white dress torn and her face covered in blood.

Ling Feng's massive body pressed down on her, his hand gripping her throat, rendering her completely immobile.

The next moment, Ling Feng tightened his grip and stared at Hunqi with a cold smile.

"I admit that it won't be easy for me to defeat you in a head-on battle, but right now, you're at your last gasp, so it's best not to resist."

As he spoke, several spiritual singularities began to pulsate on Ling Feng's left palm, directly transforming into shackles that firmly bound Hun Qi's hands and feet, suppressing the annihilation power within her body.

Thus, she had no chance of turning the tables.

Only now did Hunqi realize that he had been completely outmaneuvered by this "Grey Ape".

Even during that sneak attack, if the other party had wanted her dead, she probably would have already died on the spot.

Her eyes widened, and she glared at Ling Feng through gritted teeth, "What exactly are you?"

Ling Feng looked down at her and sneered, "Haven't you been looking for me all this time?"

He leaned slightly closer to Hunqi, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery: "I'm standing right in front of you now, and you don't recognize me?"

Soul Cry's pupils suddenly dilated.

These words exploded in her mind like a thunderbolt: "You are... that Star Hunter?!"

"You got it right."

Ling Feng removed his disguise, reverting to human form, and gently lifted her chin with his finger. "Unfortunately, there's no reward."

Soul Cry stared at Ling Feng in disbelief, roaring, "Impossible... How is this possible? If you are Star Hunter, how could you possess the power of annihilation? This is impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible! Impossible!!!"

"enough!"

Ling Feng slapped him hard across the face, making Hunqi see stars.

He had no interest in listening to this woman's endless yelling and screaming; it was a waste of his time.

He grabbed Hunqi by the throat and said coldly, "Losers have no right to ask questions. From now on, I'll ask and you answer. I hope you'll cooperate a bit, after all, I'm not one to be ruthless." (End of Chapter)
