Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

Upon hearing Ling Feng's words, the jubilant atmosphere that had filled the hall with the honor of bestowing the title of Ninth Hunting Ancestor immediately subsided, transforming into a solemn and focused atmosphere.

All eyes were on Ling Feng, waiting for his next words.

"Please take a look, everyone."

Ling Feng didn't say much, but slowly raised his right hand and gently tapped the air with his fingertips.

A wisp of pale golden divine energy flowed from his fingertips, like a living fish, swirling and spreading lightly in the air, eventually transforming into a dazzling, intricately structured three-dimensional light map.

Within that light diagram, countless fine golden lines intertwined to form layers upon layers of spatial grids, each grid representing an independent realm. And at the deepest part of the light diagram, a mark radiating a warm golden glow flickered like a star.

"These are the coordinates left to me by the Shadow of Creation. The secret treasure left by the God of Creation before returning to chaos is located in this very place of the Temple of Eternal Silence."

The crowd gathered around, their eyes fixed on the beam of light.

The Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon stood beside Ling Feng, its dark golden eyes reflecting the light image. Its expression was complex, containing both awe and melancholy.

The patriarch of the Juntian clan stepped forward first, his eyes gleaming with silver light, the power of the Wheel of Time quietly swirling as he carefully examined the coordinates on the light diagram.

However, as his gaze moved between those spatial grids, his brow furrowed more and more.

A moment later, he slowly straightened up and exchanged a glance with Shi Tian beside him; both of them had somber expressions.

The other hunters also gathered around. Yao Tian was initially in high spirits, but when he saw the location of the coordinates, the rough smile on his face gradually faded.

Yu Tian's expression was equally solemn, and even the usually composed Rong Tian pursed his lips slightly.

Ling Feng keenly sensed the change in atmosphere, his brows furrowing slightly as he asked, "Clan leader, brothers, is there something amiss?"

Silence fell over the hall.

In the end, Yao Tian spoke first. He scratched his head and sighed helplessly.

“Ninth Brother, to be honest, the location you marked with these coordinates is not unexplored, but our Star Hunter Clan simply cannot reach that place.”

He paused, sighed again, and continued, "You may not know this, but the Hengji Temple is vast and boundless. Our Star Hunter Clan has been rooted here for countless years. Although the area covered by the Eight Realms is not small, it is only one or two ten-thousandths of the Hengji Temple. Beyond this explored area, there are vast unknown lands. And to reach the coordinates you marked, you must first cross an area that our clan calls the 'Forbidden Palace'."

"That forbidden palace is like a natural chasm, stretching between the outer perimeter and the core area of ​​the Hengji Temple."

Yu Tian picked up the conversation, his clear, cold voice tinged with lingering fear, "Countless ancestors have attempted to venture into that area to explore the deeper mysteries of the Hengji Temple. But of those who entered, less than one in ten survived. Those who were lucky enough to return were mostly severely injured, and they were tight-lipped, leaving only a few words of warning. Over time, that forbidden palace became a forbidden area for our Star Hunter clan, and no one dared to set foot there easily anymore."

"The Forbidden Palace..."

Ling Feng slowly savored the title, his gaze falling on the light map representing the unknown area. "When I entered the Eternal Ruins, I seemed to have traversed a similar area. I wonder if it is the same as this so-called Forbidden Palace."

"That's different."

Shi Tian shook his head, his voice steady as a rock, yet carrying an undisguised solemnity, "Within the Eternal Ruins, only various laws and powers are sealed. But in the Forbidden Palace area, there exists something we cannot comprehend."

"Anyone who tries to enter will be attacked indiscriminately. And the power of those attacks is unbelievably immense. Cangtian, Haotian, and I once joined forces to break in, trying to open a path to the core area for our clan. As a result, the three of us only advanced less than five hundred steps outside the Forbidden Palace before being forced back by a terrifying pressure. If we hadn't retreated in time, the three of us would probably have perished there."

These words were followed by another period of silence in the hall.

Even with the combined might of the three supreme hunter ancestors, they could only advance a few hundred steps, demonstrating just how terrifying that forbidden palace was.

Rong Tian's expression also darkened. Pointing to a dark red area in the light map, he slowly said, "These forbidden palaces are not naturally formed. They are more like some kind of 'living' forbidden zone with independent will and terrifying power! Over the long course of time, we have sent countless elite Shadow Hunters to explore them, but in the end, they only brought back some fragmented and contradictory information."

"It is precisely because of the existence of these forbidden areas that our Starhunter clan's exploration of the Eternal Silence Temple has always remained in the relatively peripheral areas, and has never truly touched the core of the temple."

The patriarch of the Juntian clan sighed deeply, a bitter expression on his face. "According to the coordinates you marked, it should be located within the core of the Forbidden Palace. To get there, one must traverse at least... three different Forbidden Palace areas. Perhaps even more..."

Three layers of forbidden palace!

Ling Feng's heart sank.

Even the elites of the Star Hunter clan throughout the ages have perished, and the exploration progress in this perilous place is almost zero, so one can imagine how dangerous it is.

However, in the midst of this silence, the ancient ancestral spirit dragon, who had been staring intently at the light diagram, suddenly changed its expression and exclaimed in surprise, "Divine remains! It's divine remains!"

Everyone was taken aback, and their eyes immediately focused on him.

The Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon's face was filled with disbelief and shock. Its dark golden eyes were fixed on the area in the light map that everyone called the "Forbidden Palace," and its voice trembled slightly.

"There's no mistake... there's no mistake! Based on your descriptions, I think I now know exactly what these so-called forbidden palaces are!"

"Is this what you call the divine remains?"

Rong Tian was slightly taken aback, clearly unaware of the concept of this divine remains.

"Not bad!"

The Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon nodded, a look of realization flashing in its eyes. "So Master actually sealed them within the Eternal Silence Temple! No wonder, no wonder I searched the entire Sea of ​​Giant Beasts and traversed the endless void, yet I could never find their trace!"

"Divine remains?"

Jun Tian raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing with silver light, "Ancient Desolation, what is a divine remains?"

The Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon took a deep breath, barely suppressing the shock in its heart, and slowly opened its mouth. Its voice was deep and far-reaching, as if it had pierced through endless years.

"You may not know that when the Creator God created the World Sea and lit the first star, he did not act with an ordinary body of flesh and blood. His divine body was constructed from eight primordial energies." "These eight primordial energies were the foundation of his status as the Creator God. Later, when the Creator God manifested his divine body, the power of these eight primordial energies transformed into various parts of his body, constructing his divine body. These eight parts can also be called the Eight Divine Artifacts."

His gaze swept over all the Hunter Ancestors present, and he said, word by word, "These eight parts all contain a portion of the primordial power of the Creator God. They are: the 'Eye of Insight,' which sees through all phenomena and sees through illusions;
The 'wise heart' that carries supreme wisdom and understands all laws;
The 'Arm of Asura' wields power to kill and cut off all obstacles;
The 'Titan's Arm', possessing boundless power that can shake the stars;
The 'Hurricane Kick', which shatters the void and is the fastest in the world;
A 'rock-solid leg' that stabilizes spacetime and remains unmoved;
The 'body of all things' that contains all things and forms its own universe;
The 'Head of the Emperor,' who rules over the Eight Views and wields all power.

"When the eight divine formations are gathered together, they form the complete body of the Creator God. Although these fragmented remains have lost the control of the Creator God's will, they still contain immeasurable primordial power. Over the long years, they have each evolved independent self-protective instincts, and any entity that approaches them will be indiscriminately attacked by their power."

"I suppose the 'Forbidden Palace' that your Star Hunter Clan speaks of is probably a domain barrier that naturally evolved from the intertwined powers of these eight divine remains."

For a moment, the group of hunting ancestors looked at each other in disbelief, their faces filled with shock.

It turns out that what they had been fighting against was the power belonging to the creator god.

No wonder they have suffered repeated defeats and returned empty-handed for so long.

Ling Feng also took a deep breath. The Eight Scenery Divine Artifacts, in comparison, his own Creation God Body seemed to be nothing more than an empty shell.

"I should have thought of that!"

The Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon seemed to still be immersed in excitement, shouting, "When Master returned to Chaos, he left behind this Eternal Silence Temple. So the Eight Divine Artifacts formed from the eight innate origins were naturally sealed here as well."

Of course, this is also because the Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon and the former patriarch of the Star Hunting Clan had a disagreement and went their separate ways.

From then on, the Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon never set foot in the Land of Eternal Silence again, and naturally had no opportunity to explore the Temple of Eternal Silence.

The next moment, the Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon looked intently at Ling Feng, “My lord, do you know what an incredible opportunity this is? Your Creator God Body is nothing more than an insignificant wisp of divine energy from the vast origin of the Creator God, which was then fused with a trace of his remaining reflection and reshaped. It is only a drop in the ocean.”

"Although, thanks to your talent, Your Majesty has already acquired the rudimentary form of a Creator God's body, it is ultimately just an empty shell, like a newborn infant, possessing infinite potential but lacking any real power. However, if you can subdue these Eight Divine Artifacts and integrate them one by one into your divine body, then, given time, you may even truly possess all the powers of a Creator God! At that time, even if the Great Lord of Annihilation truly breaks through the seal, with your power, you will surely be able to reseal him once again."

Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze fell on the area covered by the "Forbidden Palace" on the light map.

It seems that, apart from the so-called secret treasure, these eight divine artifacts are the greatest "legacy" left to the creator god!

If he could integrate the eight divine artifacts into one, he would understand what that meant without the Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon saying it!
However, while the idea of ​​subduing the divine remains and restoring the divine body was certainly exciting, Shi Tian's words were still ringing in my ears.

Even with the combined efforts of the three top hunting ancestors, they could only advance a few hundred steps outside the Forbidden Palace before being forced to retreat.

How could the power of these eight divine artifacts be so easily withstood?

Even if he did obtain the Eight Divine Artifacts, at his current level, being able to refine even one of them would be considered defying the heavens.

However, in any case, this is indeed a tremendous opportunity.

"Ancient Wilderness".

Ling Feng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Since these Eight Scenery Divine Artifacts possess such enormous power and have already evolved independent defensive instincts, even if I possess the body of a creator god, it will probably not be an easy task for me to subdue them."

"That is certainly not easy."

The Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon's smile vanished, replaced by an extremely solemn expression. "Moreover, it can be described as extremely dangerous. Although the Eight Divine Remains are now ownerless, each of them contains a portion of the Creator God's power, and their strength far exceeds your imagination. If I'm not mistaken, the terrifying pressure that Shi Tian mentioned earlier should be the residual power emanating from the 'Leg of Rock.' If they were to directly withstand the power of the Leg of Rock, even the three of them might not be able to emerge alive."

The hall was deathly silent.

If even an existence like the Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon said so, one can only imagine how terrifying the Eight Scenery Divine Tools are.

"but--"

The Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon changed its tone, looking firmly at Ling Feng, "My lord, you possess the body of a creator god, and share the same origin as the Eight Scenery God Remains. The defensive instincts of those god remains may launch indiscriminate attacks against other intruders, but when facing you, they are very likely to resonate with and recognize you. This is your greatest advantage, and it is probably also a test left to you by the creator god."

"Only by subduing the Eight Divine Artifacts can one forge a true Creator God Body!"

He took a deep breath, stared intently at Ling Feng, and continued, "But no matter what, I will do my utmost to protect you, my lord! I will pave the way for you on this journey!"

Ling Feng remained silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the coordinate marker on the light map that emitted a warm golden glow, then over the eight forbidden palaces surrounding the Creation Secret Treasury, and finally landing on the resolute face of the Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon.

He suddenly laughed.

"Since the Creator God left behind this legacy, how could I possibly back down? I've already experienced the agony of annihilation within the Gate of Creation, so what's a few unclaimed divine artifacts to me?"

"Well said!"

Yao Tian was the first to respond. He strode up to Ling Feng, patted Ling Feng's shoulder heavily, and his rugged face was full of pride. "How can a fight be complete without me, Yao Tian? I'll go with you! It's just some Eight Scenic Divine Artifacts, I'll see if they can break my bones!"

"Ninth Brother."

Rong Tian stepped forward, his gaze calm and resolute. "I was the one who sent you into the Creation Realm back then, and you were almost possessed. This time, no matter what dangers lie ahead, I will go with you. This time, I will never let you venture into danger alone."

"Count me in too."

Yu Tian's voice remained cold, but a hint of a smile flickered in her cold eyes. "You should at least call me Seventh Sister. Seventh Sister should do her part."

"For the sake of the future of the entire Star Hunter Clan, I, Shi Tian, ​​naturally have an unshirkable duty."

The First Hunting Ancestor, Shi Tian, ​​also stepped forward, his calm voice carrying an undeniable firmness.

The other Hunting Ancestors also expressed their willingness to join Ling Feng in the battle against the Eight Divine Artifacts! (End of Chapter)
