Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

For a long time.

The astonishing pillar of light that shot into the sky gradually dissipated.

In the center of the valley, Ling Feng slowly opened his eyes.

Golden light swirled in his eyes, as if stars were being born and dying, and time and space were turning.

He looked down at his hands, feeling the terrifying power surging within him like the sea and as vast as a mountain, and a slow smile appeared on his lips.

"The fifth ancestral vein... is finally complete!"

He muttered to himself that although there were some minor hiccups during the refining process, he had finally broken through smoothly.

Moreover, just like the Shadow Weaving Jade he refined before, Ling Feng also gained a portion of the characteristics belonging to the three great Death Demons.

At this moment, he not only successfully condensed the fifth ancestral vein, but also refined and absorbed the bloodthirsty power of Blood Roar, the earth and rock power of Rock Collapse, and the insight power of Dark Eye, integrating them into his own chaotic origin.

The power of the collapsing earth greatly increased the strength of his physical body, making it comparable to the petrified body formed by the collapse of the earth.

The power of Dark Eye's insight made Ling Feng's divine sense several times sharper. Although it was not as good as the infinite vision of the Emperor's Eye before, it was still usable.

Moreover, most of the pupil power belonging to the Dark Pupil was absorbed by his third vertical pupil, which gave him an additional hidden killing move after transforming into the Three-Eyed Giant Ape form.

The third vertical pupil can unleash a light of annihilation, which can produce unexpected effects when caught off guard.

As for the Blood Roar's ferocious blood power, it is somewhat similar to the "Great Slaughter Technique" that Ling Feng had previously cultivated.

Now that the Blood Fiend Power has merged with the God-Slaying Spear Technique, its power has instantly increased dramatically.

It can be said that his strength has undergone a tremendous change compared to three days ago.

If faced with Blood Roar unleashing his "Burning Blood Annihilation" killing move again, Ling Feng might choose to fight him head-on.

While I can't say I'm 100% certain of winning, I have at least a 70-80% chance.

"but……"

The next moment, Ling Feng frowned slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

Although he successfully broke through the fifth meridian, he could clearly sense that the difficulty of breaking through to condense the sixth ancestral meridian would increase exponentially.

The three high-level Death Jade—Blood Roar, Rock Collapse, and Dark Eye—along with the previous Shadow Weaving Death Jade, totaling four Death Jade of the Death level, were barely enough to allow him to break through from the fourth meridian to the fifth meridian.

The energy required to go from the fifth to the sixth meridian is probably ten or even a hundred times greater than before!
Even if he kills all the remaining Hungry Demons, he might not have enough Hungry Jade to refine them.

"The road ahead... remains difficult."

Ling Feng sighed softly, but there was no discouragement in his eyes; instead, a sharp glint flashed in them.

At least, he successfully broke through the Five Meridians, finally reaching the threshold to the Spirit Abyss.

The primordial energy beneath the Spirit Abyss, and the lingering remnant of the primordial god that Hunqi mentioned, might bring him unexpected surprises.

"Owner!"

Just then, Hunqi's voice came from outside the valley, filled with undisguised excitement and awe: "Congratulations, Master, on successfully breaking through to the fifth meridian! Your divine power is unparalleled!"

Ling Feng concealed his aura and slowly stood up, his black robe fluttering even without wind.

Just then, a gentle breeze swept by, and Hunqi flew over and knelt directly at Ling Feng's feet.

They have gone from being unwilling to comply to being completely obedient.

"Get up."

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't think he had done anything wrong, so why did this woman's attitude change so drastically?

What the hell have they done to me? They've turned me into someone who seems to enjoy flattery.

"Uh-huh!"

Hunqi nodded and quickly stood up, but still kept her head down like a quail, not daring to look Ling Feng in the eye. She only dared to steal a few glances at him occasionally. Feeling Ling Feng's powerful aura, she had completely submitted.

Ling Feng was speechless for a moment, and could only frown and say, "Hun Qi, you should be more normal in the future. Stop trying to flatter me all the time. I don't like that kind of thing."

"That……"

Soul Cry raised his head and blinked. "Then, Master, shall I change into another set?"

As he spoke, a surge of mist enveloped him, instantly covering his entire body.

A moment later, when the fog dissipated, Hunqi had changed into a very tight-fitting short skirt, which perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.

Her figure was already hot, but now it almost burst out!

"Master, how's this set?"

"..."

Ling Feng's forehead went black. "That's enough! Is that what I meant?"

"Alright, alright, you can change it back now, do whatever you want!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes. This made him seem like some kind of weirdo with some special fetish.

"Oh……"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Hunqi's eyes, but she still changed back to her original appearance as instructed.

Taking this opportunity, Ling Feng let out a long sigh of relief, looked out of the valley, and said calmly, "It seems you've made quite a few plans these past few days."

"Ha ha……"

Hunqi chuckled dryly, "I was just afraid someone would break in and disturb your cultivation, Master."

"Is that so?"

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, knowing full well what this woman was thinking.

Last time I was a little too late and she got a beating, so this time I must have learned my lesson and planned ahead.

But it's all for the best. She has gathered so many lower-ranking Darkborn. Although the effects of the lower-ranking Darkborn's jewels are less effective for him, a jewel is still a jewel. Stockpiling more will come in handy someday.

"Has anything unusual happened these past few days?"

Ling Feng asked calmly.

"Reporting to Master, everything is normal."

Hunqi quickly bowed and replied, "The thousands of lower-level Darkborn under my control have already guarded the area around the valley so tightly that no strange aura has been detected approaching."

"Oh, really?"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, his gaze slowly sweeping across the surrounding mountains and forests, a half-smile playing on his lips: "Then why... do I sense that there are a few rats lurking in the shadows?"

The moment he finished speaking, a flash of silver light appeared in Ling Feng's eyes. He raised his right hand and gently pointed at a seemingly calm stone forest outside the valley.

"Come out, everyone!"

hum!
A silver light flashed at the fingertip and instantly disappeared into the depths of the stone forest.

next moment--

Boom!

In the stone forest, a gray-green mist suddenly exploded, accompanied by a violent cough, and a hunched figure staggered out of the mist.

It was the fifth calamity, an epidemic.

"Cough...cough...cough..."

The man clutched his chest, nearly dropping his wooden cane, his aged face filled with horror: "You... how did you find me?"

He was confident in his superior concealment skills, his body covered in plague spores that blended perfectly with the surrounding environment. Even the Dark Eye's keen observation skills might not be able to detect him without careful examination.

But Ling Feng actually saw through his disguise at a glance?
"Hmph, a mere trick." Ling Feng shook his head, his gaze shifting to another part of the stone forest: "There are two more. Come out together. Aren't you tired of hiding like this?"

"Oh dear, we've been discovered!"

A naive and innocent voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly emerged from the stone forest, transforming into the appearance of a child with pigtails. It was none other than the Sixth Death Demon, the Nightmare.

"Nightmare? Plague? This...this...how is this possible?"

When Soul Cry saw the plague and nightmare appear one after another, his eyelids twitched wildly, and he looked astonished.

She had clearly laid a tight net, but unexpectedly, the plague easily broke through it and hid right under her nose without her noticing.

If it weren't for her master's keen insight, she would still be completely in the dark.

"Master, I..."

Soul Cry looked guilty. "I'm sorry, I'm so useless."

"It's alright. They were deliberately hiding. If I hadn't successfully obtained the power of Dark Eye's perception, I might not have been able to detect them."

Ling Feng's gaze narrowed slightly. Those guys had remained hidden and motionless, clearly because of the orders of the Lord of the Abyss.

And now, they must be preparing to lead me to the Spirit Abyss.

Although he was going anyway, why not take a few more high-grade jade stones while he's at it?

The Nightmare clapped its hands repeatedly, a wide smile spreading across its face, but a strange light flickered in its eyes: "Wow, you're amazing, little brother! You found me even though I was hiding so well! But..."

He paused, and a strange smile, incongruous with his age, suddenly appeared on the child's face: "Big brother, the way you broke through was so impressive! I almost couldn't resist... wanting to eat you up!"

The moment the words fell, the Nightmare's body suddenly twisted and swelled, transforming into a twisted monster that seemed to be pieced together from countless fragments of nightmares. It opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth and let out a silent roar at Ling Feng!

A terrifying soul impact, like an invisible tsunami, instantly swept across the entire valley!
"Master, be careful!"

Hunqi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly offered a reminder.

However, Ling Feng merely glanced at the nightmare monster and uttered two words: "Noisy."

hum!
A flash of silver light appeared in his eyes, and five pale golden ancestral vein phantoms suddenly emerged behind him, intertwining to form a dazzling golden halo that slowly rotated.

Power of the Wheel of Time, activate!

The next moment, the nightmare monster that was pouncing on suddenly froze, as if it had been paused, and stood frozen in mid-air, unable to move.

"This...this is..."

The nightmare monster formed from the nightmare immediately showed a look of terror in its eyes.

As Ling Feng broke through to the fifth ancestral vein, his power of the Time Wheel also underwent another transformation, reaching an even higher level.

It already vaguely resembles the "Time Wheel of Heaven" of Juntian.

"This is... the power of the Wheel of Time?"

With difficulty, Xinyan spoke, his voice filled with apprehension, no longer daring to make any rash moves.

Meanwhile, the expression on the face of the person with the disease suddenly changed. His already wrinkled old face shrank into a ball.

He stared wide-eyed at the Nightmare, inwardly cursing: You madman, why did you provoke him!

"Where's the other mouse? Why isn't it coming out?"

Ling Feng did not make any further moves, but instead stared coldly at Shi Lin.

The three auras were completely invisible to him.

The next moment, a slowly decaying figure emerged from the shadows.

It was the twelfth death curse, the corpse's whisper.

Countless maggots wriggled inside the gaping hole in his chest, making a chilling rustling sound.

These three demons are all disgustingly ugly.

In comparison, those three guys from Blood Roar all looked quite "handsome".

"Star Hunter, I can't believe you managed to find out even like this!"

Corpse Whisper raised its head, its rotting face expressionless, with only two eerie green lights flickering in its empty eye sockets.

The three evil spirits immediately lined up and stared at Ling Feng.

The one with the nightmare in his heart, after standing still, clearly took two steps back, protecting the other two in front of him.

Ling Feng saw this and sneered inwardly.

It seems we need to be extra careful with this guy.

He raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Just the three of you? If I remember correctly, Blood Roar ranked fourth and Shadow Weaver ranked third. They both died at my hands. You dare to show yourselves?"

The plague-ridden figure, hunched over, fixed its gaze on Ling Feng and said in a deep voice, "You misunderstand, sir. We are not here to be your enemy. Now that you have captured Soul Cry, you should know our purpose. Cough cough cough..."

As he spoke, he coughed, and highly toxic plague spores spread wildly throughout the valley.

Ling Feng frowned slightly, and with a surge of his aura, he directly activated the Chaos Creation Realm, enveloping both him and Hun Qi within it.

Seeing Ling Feng activate the Creation Realm, the plague could only shake its head and say weakly, "I'm getting old and my body is no longer good, that's why I'm coughing so badly, please forgive me."

"Humph!"

Ling Feng smiled coldly, "Old ghost, just get to the point!"

"The point is, we hope you can go to Lingyuan."

The nightmare reverted to its childlike form, its face innocent and carefree, saying, "If you want to leave the Creation Realm, you'll definitely go to the Spirit Abyss. So, whatever our purpose is, at least you and we now share a common goal. Since we have the same goal, why should we fight and kill each other?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

The plague nodded. "That's exactly what I mean, young brother. As long as you go to the Spirit Abyss, there will be absolutely no conflict between us. In fact, given your cooperation, we can even let go of that traitor, Soul Cry."

He grinned, revealing a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Look, we haven't made a move these past few days, which already proves our sincerity."

"Owner……"

A hint of excitement flashed in Hunqi's eyes, and he quickly turned to look at Lingfeng.

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and a playful smile appeared on his face: "Coincidentally, I was just thinking of going to Lingyuan to take a look."

"That's great!"

The plague laughed heartily, "Young friend, since Soul Cry is here to guide you, we shall take our leave."

As he spoke, he turned around and prepared to leave.

However, the next moment, a sharp shout, like a thunderclap, rang out.

Did I let you leave?

In an instant, a chilling coldness descended.

The epidemic, which had just begun to spread, was suddenly brought to a halt.

He turned around and looked at Ling Feng in astonishment, "Young man, what do you mean by this?"

Ling Feng's gaze sharpened, and he said coldly, "Ling Yuan, I am going, but if you want to leave..."

He paused, a faint light flashed in his hand, and the spiritual singularity condensed into a God-Slaying Spear. With a swing of the spear, a chilling light swept across the sky.

"Alright, leave the jade pendant here first!" (End of Chapter)
