Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

In the crystal world, the Eye of Insight floated silently above the high platform, its pure and clear eyes scrutinizing Ling Feng with great interest.

"Then tell me your choice. Your five companions are all struggling in their own trials, and the longer it drags on, the more dangerous their situation becomes. Who will you help first?"

Ling Feng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down from the surge of emotion he had just felt.

The Eye of Insight was right; time was of the essence, and every moment of delay could make his companions' situation even more dangerous. But precisely because of this, he couldn't make a choice based solely on momentary impulse.

Five images of his companions' predicament flashed rapidly through his mind.

Huang Gu was facing the Arm of Asura.

That is the strongest of the Eight Divine Weapons in terms of combat power.

The Ancient Desolate is already at its last gasp. Even if I went to confront it head-on, I might not be able to turn the tide of the battle.

The other four trials are: the Speed ​​Labyrinth of Hurricane Legs, the Ocean of Wisdom of the Wise Heart, the Stairway to Heaven of Rock Legs, and the Trial of Strength of Titan Arms.

From a betting perspective, he only needs to win three of the matches to win this bet.

It can also indirectly avoid the most terrifying opponent, the Arm of Asura.

Therefore, what he needs to do is not to help the Ancient Ancestral Spirit Dragon fight against the Arm of Asura out of momentary impulse, but to find a way to win three victories.

But looking at it now...

Ling Feng's mind raced as he analyzed the situation. The one he was most confident of winning was the Speed ​​Maze.

After all, he had observed the entire maze from the outside through the light screen. Although the intricate passageways were ever-changing, he had already glimpsed some of their patterns with his powerful divine sense.

Yu Tian was trapped because she was in a maze, and those involved are often blinded by their own perspective.

And he, as an observer, might provide the key to breaking the deadlock.

"I choose the Hurricane Legs Speed ​​Maze."

Ling Feng raised his head, his gaze resolute.

The Eye of Insight narrowed slightly, its pupils gleaming. "Oh? Not going to help Huang Gu? He's your absolute loyal servant, currently struggling and bleeding under the blades of the Arm of Asura. It's hard to say how much longer he can hold out."

"Ancient times have their own battles."

Ling Feng's voice was calm and steady, "If I go to help him, I may not be able to turn the tide of the battle, and I may even become a burden to him. But I am confident that I can help Seventh Sister break the deadlock. I must win this gamble."

"you are very funny."

The Eye of Insight's voice held a hint of approval, "Not letting emotions cloud your judgment, knowing how to choose and weigh options. No wonder the Creator chose you. Since that's the case—"

The crystal eye suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and a pillar of light formed from pure insight into the laws descended from the sky, completely enveloping Ling Feng's figure.

"Go. Let me see how you crack the Hurricane Legs' speed maze."

hum-

Ling Feng felt a blur before his eyes, and his body was as if it had been grabbed by an invisible hand and thrown violently in a certain direction.

The surrounding scenery began to distort and change wildly. When everything stabilized again, he found himself in a labyrinth made entirely of cyan crystal.

blue!

An endless expanse of blue!
The walls of the maze were impossibly high, formed entirely of swirling, cyan wind blades, making them impossible to penetrate.

The passageway is interconnected, with countless branching paths, each moving and changing at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, extending and closing.

The sharp, piercing sound of the wind filled my ears, and the air was filled with a tearing sensation that stung my skin.

The moment Ling Feng landed, tens of thousands of azure gusts of wind behind him, like a swarm of sharks smelling blood, instantly locked onto his figure and rushed madly toward the spot where he had just appeared!

"So fast!"

Ling Feng's pupils contracted sharply. His divine body reacted instinctively, and a faint golden divine light flowed as his figure instantly shifted to one side.

scoff!

A gust of wind swept past where he had been standing, tearing a huge gash in the "wall" made of wind blades, which was then quickly filled by more wind blades.

"We must find Seventh Sister first!"

Ling Feng's mind raced. He pushed his movement technique to its limit, frantically dodging the pursuing gales in the maze's passageways, while simultaneously expanding his spiritual perception to the maximum, recalling the overall view of the maze he had seen through the light screen of the Eye of Insight.

"Three steps to the left, seven steps to the right, go up two layers, encounter a dead end and turn around, then go down nine steps, there's a hidden door and a way out..."

In his mind, the fragments of the maze's changing patterns that he had previously observed rapidly reassembled.

Although the maze is constantly changing, some core nodes and airflow patterns follow a deeper, "hurricane" principle that will not easily change.

"There it is!"

Just then, Ling Feng's gaze suddenly locked onto the end of a narrow passageway that was rapidly closing in to his right.

Through the gaps in the wind-blade wall, he vaguely caught a glimpse of an icy blue afterimage, darting through the more complex network of side paths at an astonishing speed, with a large swath of azure gales chasing behind it, creating a perilous situation.

It is the season of dogwood!

"Seventh Sister! Over here!"

Ling Feng roared, his voice piercing through the raging wind.

Without further hesitation, he transformed into a streak of pale golden lightning, ignoring the several crisscrossing gales in front of him, passing through them with a hair's breadth of difference. At the same time, he formed hand seals, and the divine aura of creation surged within his body, with pale golden light condensing in his palms.

"The Wheel of Time - Slow Flow!"

hum!
As the Wheel of Time behind Ling Feng spun wildly, the speed of the azure gale in that area suddenly decreased. Although it only lasted for a brief moment, it was enough for a top expert!

Yu Tian had obviously heard Ling Feng's shout as well. A hint of unbelievable joy flashed in her icy blue eyes, but she reacted extremely quickly. Almost the instant Ling Feng spoke, she changed direction and shot towards the "gap" that Ling Feng had created!

The icy blue light and the pale golden figure crisscrossed through the gaps in the countless gales. The next moment, the two stood side by side, their backs against a relatively calm wall of wind blades, breathing heavily.

"Ninth Brother?! How could you..."

Yu Tianqing's cold face was full of astonishment, but even more so, it was filled with the excitement of escaping a desperate situation.

Her breathing was disordered, and her ice crystal armor was covered with scratches, clearly indicating that she had exhausted herself.

"There's no time to explain."

Ling Feng spoke rapidly, his sharp gaze sweeping over the wildly changing maze around him. "Seventh Sister, listen to my command, let's break out together! This maze isn't completely chaotic; its changes follow a core pattern. I observed the entire maze from the outside before!"

Yu Tian's spirits lifted, and he nodded without hesitation: "Okay! You tell me, I'll do it!"

Absolute trust was on full display at this moment.

"There are three paths ahead. Take the middle one that's expanding! Watch out for the three intersecting wind blades overhead. Dive down simultaneously in half a breath!"

"it is good!"

Like two perfectly synchronized streaks of light, the two, guided by Ling Feng, frantically traversed the edge of death.

With his understanding of the Hurricane Law and the precise interference of the Time Wheel Power, Ling Feng narrowly escaped certain death time and time again, finding a fleeting glimmer of hope.

Yu Tian, ​​on the other hand, trusted Ling Feng's every command without reservation, maximizing his speed and agility while occasionally using ice-based laws to freeze the gale-force winds at key locations, buying more time for the two of them. "Turn right, go through that secret door that's about to close!"

"There's a whirlwind trap below, go around to the left!"

"This passage to the left is a looping trap, retreat! Follow me and charge up!"

Ling Feng's brain was working at an unprecedented speed, combining the information he had previously observed with the real-time changes before him, and quickly making the most correct decision.

Yu Tian was like the sharpest sword in his hand, precisely carrying out every command from Ling Feng.

The two worked together more and more seamlessly, and their speed increased, gradually leaving the pursuing gale behind by a considerable distance.

Victory seems to be just around the corner!
"Interesting! Very interesting!"

From the depths of the maze came the wild, unrestrained laughter of Hurricane Legs, a voice filled with excitement and a hint of anger at being provoked.

"You actually saw through my maze transformations? Then try this! Hurricane Strangulation Array—Activate!"

Boom!

The entire maze trembled violently, and the movement speed of all the passageways suddenly increased several times over!
Countless originally wandering gusts of wind seemed to receive a unified command, coming from all directions, up and down, left and right, like a net to strangle Ling Feng and Yu Tian!

"not good!"

Yu Tian's expression changed; there was nowhere to avoid such a large-scale massacre!
A startling light flashed in Ling Feng's eyes.

"Now! Seventh Sister, go all out and break through the wind barrier above! That's the weak point in its formation's shifting pattern; you only have a moment!"

In his previous observations, he noticed that whenever the maze underwent large-scale and drastic changes, there were always a few specific "nodes" that would experience extremely brief disturbances due to the flow of energy.

And the area directly above your head is one of them!

This might be the "inertia" of the hurricane's leg control, or it might be an inevitable flaw in the operation of the maze's own laws!
Or perhaps, it's a trap to lure the enemy in...

But at this moment, Ling Feng had no other choice!

Yu Tian was clearly stunned for a moment before rushing directly towards the eye of the storm above. Wasn't that too risky?

Trust me!

Ling Feng shouted in a low voice, "Hurry!"

He gritted his teeth, and cracks began to appear on the wheel of time behind him.

In an instant, Yu Tian didn't hesitate for a moment. With a sharp cry, the icy blue light shot into the sky, transforming into an unstoppable ice crystal cone that crashed fiercely into the wind wall above Ling Feng's head!

At the same time, Ling Feng poured most of the chaotic origin in his body into his arms. The pale golden divine light was like a raging flame. Following closely behind Yu Tian, ​​he slammed his palms out!

"break!"

boom!!!!!!!
The icy crystal spike and the pale gold palm print merged into one, slamming fiercely into the violently fluctuating blue wind barrier.

click-

A tooth-grinding cracking sound rang out, and the wind barrier that was strong enough to withstand the attack of the Hunting Ancestor level was actually blasted open by the two of them together, leaving a clearly visible gap!

Beyond the gap, the maze's blue hue was replaced by a hazy, strange space seemingly composed of countless tiny whirlpools, exuding the aura of the "wind" law—a law that shared the same origin as the hurricane maze but was even more refined and vast.

It turns out that the gap in the Speed ​​Maze was actually located at the core of the Eye of the Storm.

The more Yu Tian tried to escape the storm, the more exhausted he became, eventually dying from the endless drain on his strength.

Only by facing the storm head-on can we have a chance to escape the maze.

Of course, timing is also very important. The only flaw that the Eye of the Storm reveals at the moment the Hurricane Legs activates the Hurricane Strangulation Array is the key to breaking the deadlock.

Even if Yu Tian knew the flaw, he couldn't get close to the eye of the storm on his own.

In a flash, Ling Feng and Yu Tian exchanged a glance, both seeing the resolute look in each other's eyes.

Without pausing for a moment, the two figures transformed into streaks of light and rushed into the gap without hesitation!

The moment you pass through the gap, it feels like you're passing through a film of water.

The suffocating howling wind and strangling force behind them suddenly disappeared.

The two landed on a boundless void platform composed of pure blue air currents.

In the center of the platform, a blurry phantom slowly coalesced, which was the manifestation of the essence of the Hurricane Leg!

"You guys actually managed to break through..."

The whirlwind phantom emitted a deep voice, tinged with surprise and astonishment.

The next moment, it "looked" at Ling Feng, then at Yu Tian, ​​before saying in a deep voice, "You're lucky; you actually passed my test. However..."

The whirlwind phantom floated in front of Ling Feng and said coldly, "If it weren't for that guy with the Eye of Insight letting you see the whole picture of the maze, you would never have been able to find the flaw in my maze so quickly!"

Ling Feng chuckled twice and bowed to Hurricane Leg, "Indeed, the reason I was able to pass was purely by luck."

"Humph!"

The whirlwind phantom gave a light hum, its voice quickly returning to calm, "But in any case, you've passed."

Ling Feng and Yu Tian exchanged a glance, secretly relieved.

If Hurricane Kick determines that they have cheated, he could easily throw them back into the maze and start over.

Fortunately, this hurricane-like leg can at least afford to lose.

"Yu Tian, ​​you did not get lost in the high-speed maze, seized the opportunity in the desperate situation, and with the guidance of your companions, you saw through the illusion and broke out of the formation. Your will and determination have won my approval, so you can obtain a trace of the source of the hurricane."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of azure light merged into Yu Tian's body.

Yu Tian felt a violent hurricane force within her body directly merge with her ancestral vein.

The next moment, the realm that had not been broken through for a long time suddenly rose rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, he broke through to the fourth ancestral vein and even formed the prototype of the fifth ancestral vein.

Yu Tian was overjoyed. She took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, and solemnly bowed to the whirlwind phantom: "Thank you, senior!"

The whirlwind phantom swayed slightly, as if in response.

Then, it looked at Ling Feng with a complicated expression: "Successor of the God of Creation, you have indeed shown me some interesting things, but with just these, you are still far from being able to re-integrate the Eight Divine Artifacts!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whirlwind phantom slowly dissipated, transforming into a wisp of pure azure energy that disappeared into the depths of the void.

"Huh? You're leaving already?"

Ling Feng was clearly stunned. Yu Tian had even obtained a wisp of the source of the hurricane, while he hadn't gotten a single hair after all that effort!

That makes sense, their own test is not over yet, and at this time, Hurricane Kick is unlikely to strengthen itself and improve their overall win rate.

Just then, the voice of the Eye of Insight rang in his mind again, "Congratulations on your victory. So, which trial will you be supporting next?" (End of Chapter)
