The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1140: The Power of the Gods

The mark suddenly flashed with golden light. Everyone's vision blurred, and the mark disappeared without a trace.

At the same instant, the sky began to darken. Strange black clouds rolled across the heavens, and within them, red vapors churned and twisted.

No, it was not vapor!

The clouds split apart, and torrents of blazing flames surged out, stretching hundreds of zhang across the sky. They coiled and twisted like fiery dragons, filling the heavens with crimson light.

A crushing sense of oppression descended upon the world, as if the end of days had come.

In moments, not only the Feng Family estate but the entire Fengling County was shrouded beneath the red clouds.

Within the city, countless citizens climbed the watchtowers, staring up at the blazing sky in awe.

"What a divine phenomenon! A sight unseen for ten thousand years!"

"Look! Fire dragons are dancing in the heavens!"

"..."

None of them realized that hidden within those red clouds was a catastrophe that would soon annihilate them all.

...

"You crazy bastard!" Ling Feng shouted in fury. "Do you mean to burn the entire city to ashes?"

Fengling County was home to millions. The powerful martial artists escaped the flames, but the common folk, the old, the weak, the women and children would all perish in this inferno.

"Heh heh heh... They are nothing but ants. To die beneath the power of the gods is their honor."

Tianluo Ancestor burst into wild laughter. "Boy, worry about yourself first. You're the one who will die!"

"Heaven Hunt: Burn the Sky and Boil the Sea!"

A roar shook heaven and earth. Dozens of waves of terrifying flame hurtled toward Ling Feng, exploding with deafening force, as if to erase him completely from existence.

The fires intertwined above, forming vast, unbreakable nets of flame that fell upon him.

Hundreds of zhang away, many Feng clansmen collapsed to their knees. The timid ones even wet themselves in terror.

Even at that distance, the heat was unbearable. To face those flames directly, as Ling Feng did, was beyond comprehension.

"Hahaha, yes! Burn, you little bastard!"

Qi Hongwu, sect leader of Tiejian Sect, hid far away, gloating as he watched. The sight filled him with vicious satisfaction.

Ling Feng tilted his head back and laughed, his battle will surging like a storm. "If I can't even defeat filth like you, how could I ever defy the heavens and slay those so-called gods?"

"Asura's Eye! Open!"

Ling Feng roared, merging completely with the Despicable Donkey's beast soul. A vertical eye appeared on his forehead, gleaming with otherworldly light.

His aura soared again, fierce and overwhelming, like an Asura descending from hell into the mortal realm.

"Asura Slaying Domain!"

From that vertical eye, a yin-yang fish slowly spun as the Asura Divine Inscription condensed. A curtain of bloodlight spread outward, and within that field, his power surged endlessly, each strike fiercer than the last!

"Hmph, struggling in vain! Die for me!"

Tianluo Ancestor growled, sending the blazing nets crashing down upon Ling Feng with merciless force.

"Heaven-Slaying Sword Art! Earth-Water Army Breaker!"

The Eradicator of Realms in Ling Feng's hand swept out in a fierce arc. The first flaming net shattered instantly before him.

Then the second.

Then the third...

Ling Feng unleashed the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art and the Reincarnation Unyielding Slash again and again. The two techniques, combined with his overwhelming strength, forced back the fiery nets that had seemed impossible to resist.

Even so, deep burns marked his body, and the heat caused his sword hand to tremble.

"How is this possible!"

Tianluo Ancestor stared at him in disbelief. The youth had withstood the power of the Heavenly Fire Seal, a force drawn from a god!

Even a peak Human Emperor would be incinerated upon contact, yet this young man whose strength was no more than a mid-tier Human Emperor was still standing!

He did not understand that the Heavenly Fire Seal's might came from the Heaven-Patrolling Clan's suppression over mortals. Ling Feng, however, was no ordinary mortal.

The blood of the Heavenly Dao Clan flowed within him, a lineage that naturally countered the Heaven-Patrolling Clan. Without that divine suppression, this so-called Heavenly flame was nothing more than an ordinary, though powerful, mortal fire.

"Heavenly fire? Godly power? It's nothing more than hot air!"

Ling Feng smiled coldly. All three of his eyes gleamed with killing intent. "Tianluo Ancestor, prepare to die!"

Tianluo Ancestor glanced at the vertical eye on Ling Feng's brow but showed little surprise.

The world was vast and filled with strange arts. Perhaps Ling Feng had simply cultivated a technique that awakened a third vertical eye.

What truly unsettled him was how Ling Feng could withstand the Heavenly Fire Seal's might.

"Don't be so proud yet!"

Tianluo Ancestor gritted his teeth. "Taste this next strike! A hundred years of life essence, burn!"

The last time, he had sacrificed twenty years of his lifespan to fuel the Fire Seal. This time, he burned a full century. The resultant surge was five times the power of before, erupting with an incomparable ferocity!

He knew that if he failed to bring back the Feng family's Second Young Miss today, he would face certain death upon returning to Tianluo Island.

If that was the case, he might as well gamble everything.

Once his master raised him to the Great Emperor realm, hundreds of years of life could be restored. What was a mere hundred years then?

"Again!"

Ling Feng's eyelid twitched. Though he spoke with confidence, resisting the Heavenly Fire Seal's power was no easy feat.

He was immune to its bloodline suppression, but the sheer heat and force were still overwhelming.

And Despicable Donkey was burning his demonic essence just to keep pace!

As the flames swept down, Ling Feng shouted, "Zifeng!"

A flash of violet light split the air. Zifeng's pocket-sized Ice Lin body emerged and expanded rapidly into a towering beast over ten zhang tall. Frost spilled from his jaws, freezing everything in its path.

Linked to Ling Feng by heart and mind, Zifeng instantly understood his intent.

After his evolution into an Ice Lin, he naturally gained Ice Lin's ice abilities. Ice and fire countered one another, and since he already possessed fire immunity inherited from the Earth-Fire Flame Demon and the Earth-Fire Purple Python, he only needed to freeze those flames.

If he could freeze those flames even for a moment, Ling Feng would have the chance to extinguish them completely.

"Ten Thousand Li Freeze!"

Zifeng roared, releasing an overwhelming wave of frost. The sky paled under the cold, and the raging flames above shrank visibly beneath the freezing air.

"Another demonic pet? Hah! No matter how many tricks you hide, you'll still die today!"

Tianluo Ancestor howled in madness. "This time the power is five times stronger than before!"

Within moments, the searing heat drove back the cold, and waves of flaming serpents once again rained down upon Ling Feng.

"Master, I can't hold on! The fire is burning me alive!"

Zifeng's pained cries echoed through the inferno. Having fully transformed into an ice-type spirit pet, he was now at a complete elemental disadvantage.

"That's enough. Leave the rest to me."

Ling Feng raised his hand, drawing Zifeng back into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. Then, he condensed the Chaotic Sword in his free hand, now wielding a sword in each. Power surged as he unleashed the combined might of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art and the Reincarnation Heaven-Burying Sword Art.

"Earth's Judgment!"

"Reincarnation Unyielding Slash!"

The twin swords struck as one. Their sharp, overwhelming sword qi collided with the countless flaming serpents that filled the sky.
