Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

Deep in the dark valley.

A wisp of gray-white mist slowly condensed, revealing a graceful and slender figure that landed beneath the tallest stone pillar.

It was the weeping of the soul.

After many twists and turns, she finally returned to the valley.

However, now she has become a "puppet" manipulated by Ling Feng.

She gritted her teeth and looked up. At the top of the stone pillar, Yingzhi sat cross-legged, the shadows around her moving slowly like living things.

The moment Soul Cry appeared, his scarlet eyes slowly opened, and his calm gaze slowly swept over Soul Cry's entire body.

"came back?"

Yingzhi's voice was hoarse and calm, revealing no emotion.

"Ah."

Hunqi lowered his head, his hands unconsciously twisting together. After a moment of gathering his emotions, he exclaimed with immense joy, "Shadow, I've found that Star Hunter!"

Yingzhi's crimson eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled faintly, "You haven't been back for so long, I already knew you must have found your target. In the end, it still took your personal action!"

"That is!"

Hunqi feigned smugness and, following Ling Feng's instructions, said with a smile, "Although that Star Hunter was more cunning than I expected, it took me a lot of effort to pinpoint his approximate area of ​​activity. After that, I followed the plan and manipulated a large number of lower-ranking Darkborn to deliver the Death Jade to him in batches..."

She paused, stealing a glance at Yingzhi's expression, and continued, "Now, that kid has made breakthroughs one after another. I believe it won't be long before he meets the Lord's requirements and goes to the Spirit Abyss to absorb the Creation God's breath."

Yingzhi nodded slowly.

He had indeed sensed this before.

The sudden surge of powerful energy from the southeast was undeniable.

It indeed contained the ancestral aura of the Star Hunters.

"You did a good job this time."

A hint of approval appeared on Yingzhi's face. "When we get to the Lord, I will tell him the truth and that this was all your doing."

Hunqi felt a tremor in his heart, a trace of guilt welling up inside him. Ying was still so kind, and had always taken good care of him.

However, in order to protect herself, she dared not betray Ling Feng.

She took a deep breath, shook her head, and said, "Serving the Lord is my duty. Besides, the matter is not yet finished. To complete the Lord's mission, I will certainly need your assistance."

"Oh?"

Yingzhi smiled faintly, "It's rare to see you so humble. Are you in trouble?"

"Hey……"

Hunqi bit her lip, sighed softly, and then continued, "Everything was going smoothly at first, but that kid was a bit too heaven-defying. After his breakthrough, he was really frightening. I didn't even dare to get too close, for fear of being noticed by him."

"That's true."

Yingzhi nodded. "I also sensed that aura from the southeast just now, and it was indeed quite powerful. But that's not surprising. If it weren't extraordinary, how could one absorb the aura of the Creator God?"

"Yes!"

Hunqi smiled bitterly, "So if I were to lead him to the Spirit Abyss, in that Star Hunter's eyes, I would just be a walking high-grade Death Jade. Now I understand why the Lord sent you and me to act together. Your abilities are the most suitable to lead that kid deeper and deeper."

"It's rare to see someone as proud and arrogant as you being so cautious this time." Yingzhi nodded and said, "Then I will personally guide him to the Spirit Abyss."
"Don't let it happen then!"

Hunqi quickly added, "The effects of lower-level Darkborn's Death Jade on Star Hunter have been greatly reduced, so I think we should guide that kid to the middle level of the Spirit Realm first, and use the Death Jade of mid-level Darkborn; the effect will be much better."

"So we need to use intermediate-grade Death Jade so soon...?"

Shadowweaver's expression turned slightly serious. The casualties of lower-level Darkborn were not a big deal, but the mid-level Darkborn were essentially a reservoir for them, the Sha.

Every so often, talented intermediate-level Darkborn are selected for the Death Star Palace. If they can break through to the next level, they become candidates for Death Star.

If there are a large number of casualties, it would probably not be appropriate.

"and many more……"

Yingzhi seemed to remember something, and glanced at Hunqi again, "Where's that gray ape beside you?"

Don't even mention it!

Soul Cry wore a bitter expression, clearly having been prepared. "I used that gray ape to test that Star Hunter, and then..."

She sighed deeply, "And then that was it. A promising talent, ruined just like that."

“I see.” Yingzhi shook her head and smiled bitterly. “So that’s why you came to me for help this time. You’ve already learned your lesson.”

"Shadow, please stop making fun of me!"

Soul Cry snorted softly, "Now I need your help. First, guide that Star Hunter to the middle level area, and then I'll gather a group of intermediate Darkborn for him so that he can break through as soon as possible and meet the Lord's requirements!"

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "After I've used that brat, I'm going to tear him to pieces to vent my hatred!"

This anger and hatred were absolutely genuine.

Seeing Hunqi's furious expression, Yingzhi could only nod and say, "Alright, completing the mission as soon as possible is the right thing to do. Tell me, what are your next steps?"

Soul Cry was overjoyed, knowing that Shadow Weaver had taken the bait.

However, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty afterward.

Kageori, it's not that I wanted to trick you, I was forced into it.

She took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I have left some subtle traces at the place where Xing Shou last appeared, pointing in the direction of Ling Yuan. But we can't show ourselves directly to guide him; that would be too obvious and easily arouse his suspicion."

"Therefore, we need to create a 'coincidence'."

She paused, then continued, "His strength has increased dramatically, and he no longer looks down on the Death Jade formed by those lower-level Dark Indigenous beings. So, I will control a few mid-level Dark Indigenous beings from a distance to guide him here, while you will set up a 'Shadow Net' in that area beforehand. As long as you successfully place your Shadow Devouring Mark on that kid, are you afraid that you can't lead him by the nose?"

After listening, a glint of light flashed in Yingzhi's scarlet eyes. "This plan is not bad."

He slowly stood up, the shadows around him surging like a tide: "Setting up the Shadow Net is quite troublesome and will take some time. If that Star Hunter doesn't come, all our efforts will be in vain."

"Do not worry."

Hunqi quickly said, "I've scouted that area before. It's a natural stone forest maze with complex terrain, perfect for setting up your Shadow Net. And even if I can't lure him here, can't you just show up yourself? Even if that kid is ten times stronger, he can't possibly stop you. He'll just be chasing after you and eating your dust!"

She sighed inwardly, "How could that guy not come? He's waiting for you inside that stone forest!"

It turns out that what seemed like she had Yingzhi set up a trap for Lingfeng in advance was actually leading Yingzhi into a trap.

"Alright, alright, now that we've come this far, if I keep making excuses, it'll seem like I'm afraid of that kid."

Yingzhi nodded. Hunqi's plan was reasonable and well-thought-out, and did not seem like a spur-of-the-moment idea.

It seems that although this woman is usually reckless, she does have some brains when it matters.

"Okay, we'll do it your way."

Shadow Weaver swayed and floated down from the top of the stone pillar, the shadow around her slowly receding:
"Lead the way."

"it is good!"

Hunqi was overjoyed and quickly turned around, flying out of the valley.

Yingzhi followed closely behind, and the two of them, one in front of the other, transformed into two streaks of light and disappeared into the vast darkness.

……

Southeast direction.

A vast natural stone forest, like the fangs of a giant beast, stands densely on the dark earth.

The stone pillars vary in height, their surfaces riddled with wind-eroded holes and cracks, casting countless distorted shadows against the dark red sky. The terrain here is extremely complex, with winding passages between the pillars resembling a maze; one could easily lose their way if not careful.

More importantly, the aura of destruction here is exceptionally strong, almost forming a tangible mist that slowly flows between the stone pillars, severely interfering with perception.

At this moment, in a clearing deep within the stone forest.

Ling Feng sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, his aura completely concealed, blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment.

He had been waiting here for a whole day.

According to the plan, Soul Cry will lead Shadow Weaver to this stone forest.

"That guy's abilities are indeed quite troublesome, but now..."

Ling Feng muttered to himself, a cold smile playing on his lips. After his elaborate scheme, no matter how strange Ying Zhi's abilities were, they would ultimately be rendered useless.

This is the burial place he meticulously prepared for Yingzhi.

"coming."

Suddenly, Ling Feng's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The third vertical pupil quietly opened, peering through layers of stone pillars and mist, locking onto two figures rushing towards them from outside the stone forest.

At this moment, the entire stone forest was completely under his control; not a single blade of grass or the slightest movement could escape his notice.

"That woman is ruthless enough; she's so efficient at betraying her own people!"

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled. That's why they say the stinger of a wasp is the most poisonous thing a woman could do.

The two stopped outside the stone forest, landing on a hill, and seemed to be talking in hushed tones.

Soul Cry occasionally pointed in a certain direction of the Stone Forest, seemingly introducing the terrain.

Yingzhi followed behind, her scarlet eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time, showing a high level of vigilance.

"They are cautious indeed..."

Ling Feng's lips curled into a cold smile as he slowly sank into the shadows behind him and disappeared.

He had already laid a trap for this stone forest.

Now, all that's left is for Yingzhi to step into the core area.

at the same time.

Soul Cry, carrying Shadow Weaving, slowly descended to the edge of the stone forest.

"This is it."

Soul Cry pointed to the depths of the stone forest and said in a deep voice, "How about it? The terrain here is perfect for setting up your Shadow Net, isn't it? As soon as that Star Hunter comes in, he will definitely be manipulated by you and me. We can make him go east when we want him to go east, and west when we want him to go west!"

Shadow Weaver's scarlet eyes swept over the stone forest, and she nodded slightly.

"Indeed, this is a good place to set up a shadow net. Can you still pinpoint the location of that Star Hunter?"

"Don't worry, the intermediate Darkin I sent is keeping that kid at bay. Once your Shadownet is set up, I'll find a way to lure him in."

"That's good."

Shadowweaver's gaze sharpened. "This is truly a wonderful place. Strange rocks stand tall, and shadows are everywhere. If I were to lay down a shadow net here, even if the Skeleton Boss (First Death Demon) were to enter the net, he would have no chance of escaping my control."

He nodded and smiled, then his figure flashed, turning into a shadow and disappearing into the darkness at the entrance of the stone forest.

"Qi, you stay outside the Stone Forest and guard it. Don't let anyone get close until the Shadow Net is complete."

"understand!"

Hunqi readily agreed, watching Yingzhi's figure disappear into the stone forest, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Shadow, don't blame me, I had no choice!
……

After entering the stone forest, Yingzhi slowly began to approach the center of the stone forest.

To set up a shadow net, one naturally needs to find the right focal point.

The annihilation power in this area was exceptionally dense, shrouded in mist, resembling a sea of ​​fog.

At the heart of the stone forest, the mist faintly condenses into a vortex, which is the so-called swirling mist.

By harnessing the power of the Death Vortex as the core of the Shadow Network, it can naturally greatly conserve its own annihilation essence.

"What a wonderful place! What a wonderful place!"

Yingzhi clicked her tongue in admiration, "If we had discovered this place earlier, we wouldn't have had to waste so much annihilation power on modifying that valley."

He was overjoyed, unaware that he was gradually approaching the trap that Ling Feng had personally woven for him.

The place was full of shadows, which made Yingzhi feel safe and secure, without fear of any danger.

Little did they know, all this security was a facade set up by Ling Feng.

The "Vortex of Death" that he wanted was released by Ling Feng himself.

The core area of ​​that stone forest is actually the Creation Realm enveloped by the power of annihilation.

The Chaotic Creation Realm, exclusively for Ling Feng!
Before long, the Shadow Weaver arrived at the center of the Stone Forest. There, beneath an exceptionally thick giant stone pillar, was a cave entrance that was half-hidden by a boulder.

The entrance to the cave was small, allowing only one person to pass through at a time. Inside, it was pitch black and bottomless.

A dense aura of annihilation was continuously emanating from the cave entrance, and a huge vortex of annihilation appeared above the entrance.

"That's interesting!"

Shadow Weaver's crimson eyes were fixed on the cave entrance, and the power of shadow flowed slowly across her body, gradually condensing into a set of shadow armor that covered her entire body.

He could sense that the aura of annihilation emanating from the cave entrance was indeed several times stronger than the surrounding area.

"Could there be some extraordinary treasure beneath this grotto?"

Yingzhi's eyes lit up, and she murmured, "This Creation Realm was originally a fragment of the Creation God's creation, so it's not surprising that it hides some treasures unknown to us. It seems that when luck comes, there's no stopping it!"

Without further hesitation, he swept his figure and entered the cave.

Inside the cave is a narrow passage that slopes downwards.

The walls of the passage were covered with honeycomb-like holes, from which dark purple mist seeped out, making the already dim environment even more indistinct.

"Very good, in this environment, no one can pose any threat to me."

Overjoyed, Yingzhi disappeared into the purple mist. In this environment, he felt completely at home.

They continued downwards, and after an unknown amount of time, the passage suddenly opened up, revealing a huge underground cavern.

In the center of the hollow, a figure sat cross-legged.

He was a young man dressed in a black robe, his eyes slightly closed, exuding a chilling aura. Beneath the dense power of annihilation, however, lay the ancestral aura of the Star Hunter clan.

Is this... that Star Hunter?!

"Wait, it's him?"

Yingzhi's pupils suddenly contracted.

How did he end up inside this cave?

Didn't Soul Cry say that Star Hunter should still be wandering around under her control as a mid-level Darkin?
"You've finally arrived."

Suddenly, the young man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calmly fixed on Yingzhi's direction, a faint smile playing on his lips: "I've been here waiting for you for quite some time." (End of Chapter)
