The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1454: The Treasure Vault Within the Body

"You all knew?"

Lin Mu rolled his eyes, then looked straight at Ling Feng. "Brother Ling, do you know about it?"

Ling Feng slowly opened his eyes and smiled faintly. "I just found out. What exactly is this Hunting Battlefield?"

After all, Ling Feng had only been in the Dongling Immortal Pool for less than two months. He had no foundation here, so he had never heard of it before.

"Hehe!"

Lin Mu immediately perked up and began explaining the rules and rewards of the Hunting Battlefield in one breath. After listening, Ling Feng rose to his feet, his battle will surging.

The spiritual will of a Great Saint!

He knew that beyond the peak of the Great Emperor realm lay the Half-Saint, and only beyond that stood the Great Saint.

Even the strongest figures at the peak of the Dongling Immortal Pool were merely Half-Saints. If he could comprehend the will of a Great Saint, his strength would definitely surge.

He had to enter the Hunting Battlefield!

And he had to secure a spot in the War God Temple!

At the same time, he understood the difficulty. Although the selection limited participants to those under fifty, the Hall of War was filled with hidden experts. Not to mention the barbarian powerhouses on the opposing side.

Standing out among so many experts would not be easy.

Strength!

In the end, his strength was still not enough!

"So what do you think? There's no need to ask. You're definitely signing up, right?" Lin Mu said with a grin.

"Mhm. With an opportunity like this, I have to give it a try." Ling Feng nodded and said slowly, "I'll leave the registration to you. Since there are still a few days left, I want to see if I can improve my strength a bit."

Ever since absorbing the cold qi from Saint Lady Hui Yue in the Dead Soul Devil Abyss, his cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm. He was only one step away from the Human Emperor level.

That step, however, was not something he could break through easily.

"No problem! If you're signing up, I'll join the fun too. Whether I get selected is another matter, but at least I should show some spirit!"

Lin Mu spoke with great enthusiasm.

"I'll sign up too!"

Chu Tiange laughed. After Ling Feng's guidance, he had awakened, and his entire demeanor had changed.

"I won't miss this opportunity either." Li Fei smiled softly. "Junior Brother Lin, I'll go register with you."

Soon, everyone expressed their intention to participate. As Lin Mu said, whether they were chosen or not, even a salted fish should at least try to turn over.

Ling Feng smiled at them, though he felt slightly puzzled. Fairy Qingping, who usually nagged him endlessly about going to greet Senior Brother Qin, was nowhere to be seen today. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The sudden silence felt strange.

"Junior Brother Ling, I know there's a place in the Hall of War similar to the Earth Emperor Pool. The effect is weaker, but it's still far better than the spirit-gathering array in this stone chamber."

Chu Tiange thought for a moment before speaking. "You're not short on contribution points, so you might as well train in the cultivation chambers for a few days. You may gain something. Just don't stay longer than three days, or you might miss the final selection."

"Mhm."

Ling Feng nodded. "Thanks for the reminder, Senior Brother. Then I won't delay. I'll head to the cultivation chambers now and go into seclusion for a few days. I'll leave the registration to you."

"Haha, leave it to me!"

Lin Mu laughed loudly. In the next moment, Ling Feng's figure flashed and disappeared outside the cave.

"That guy really is a cultivation maniac."

Lin Mu shook his head with a bitter smile. Under Ling Feng's influence, he even started working harder. If his sister, Saint Lady Bi Luo, saw how diligent he had become, she would probably be moved to tears.

...

Before long, Ling Feng arrived at the cultivation chambers Chu Tiange had mentioned. Each chamber contained a special spirit-gathering array, and time inside flowed at roughly one-third the rate of the outside world.

Renting one of these chambers costs ten thousand contribution points per day. It was expensive, but not a concern for Ling Feng.

After paying the required points, he received a numbered token, found his assigned chamber, and began his three-day seclusion.

In terms of cultivation, Ling Feng had already reached a critical threshold. Breaking through further would be difficult, so this time he focused on spiritual refinement and body refinement.

As for body refinement, his Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Art had reached the Strength of Ten Dragons. With the tempering of the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire, his physical body had advanced to an entirely new level. With pure physical strength alone, he could now stand against an Extreme Human Emperor head-on.

What surprised him even more was something he discovered afterward.

The Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence.

Back then, Ling Feng had bathed in an entire pool of this essence. Later, during his clash with the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire, the entire pool disappeared.

At the time, he had been puzzled. Where had all that precious essence gone?

Only recently did he discover the answer.

All of it was inside his spine.

Those incredibly rare and precious strands of Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence had fused into his spine.

Whenever he sent his spiritual consciousness into it, he could feel a scorching energy flowing endlessly from within.

It was a strange twist of fate.

Back then, with the help of the Cold Moon Goddess Pearl, he had indeed refined the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire. However, what he refined was only its outer shell. The true core of the fire was that piece of spine-like spirit object.

Sensing it could not escape being refined, the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire transformed into his spinal bone and hid within his body, waiting for a chance to break free.

Unfortunately for it, when Ling Feng saved Saint Lady Hui Yue, he absorbed the extreme yin cold qi from her body. That cold qi was the natural nemesis of the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire.

Trapped inside Ling Feng's body, it could no longer escape. In the end, it was completely extinguished and became part of his spine.

And with that, the "treasure vault" within his spine was finally opened to him.

An entire pool of Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence!

Ling Feng intended to use it to continue his breakthrough and further strengthen his Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength!

After three days, he was confident that his Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength could reach at least the level of twenty dragon-elephants.

At that point, once he entered the Hunting Battlefield, he would finally have the power to contend with those Great Emperor experts.
