The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 179: Demonstration of Strength!

"The First Lock, open!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Ling Feng's aura suddenly skyrocketed from the unstable state of the late Qi Formation Realm to a level almost comparable to the peak of Pulse Formation Realm.

However, even though Ling Feng's aura surged, he was only at the Pulse Formation Realm. Could he really kill the Glacial Frost Dragon which was at the Transformation Realm?

Blood Python and the others were somewhat skeptical, but they could only place their last hope in Ling Feng.

"Scorching Sky Blaze!"

With a low shout, Ling Feng swept his sword horizontally, releasing a crescent-shaped sword qi shimmering with fierce flames. It slashed down towards the ninth rib on the right side of the Glacial Frost Dragon.

Just before this, Blood Python mentioned that that's precisely where the dragon's demonic core was located.

The Glacial Frost Dragon stuck out its long tongue and roared skyward. An area of absolute zero then formed three yards around it.. Its subconscious warned: This human is extremely dangerous!

Hiss! Hiss!

The Scorching Sky Blaze pierced through the frigid area created by the Frost Dragon without slowing down, not even for a moment. It slashed directly through, and in the next instant, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded.

The nearly invincible Frost Dragon, at least in the eyes of the members of the Hunting Blade Team, was actually cut into two segments by Ling Feng's sword!

Instant kill!

The Qi-Refining Primordial Lock, coupled with the power of Scorching Sky Blaze, made Ling Feng's sword strike capable of even threatening ordinary cultivators at the fifth level of Transformation Realm!

Of course, if one were able to dodge Scorching Sky Blaze’s only sword strike, Ling Feng could be in danger. The Frost Dragon reacted too slowly. Otherwise, Ling Feng might have needed the assistance of Zifeng to kill it.

Swoosh!

Ling Feng's figure flashed, his whole body shooting like a cannonball towards the Frost Dragon. With one of his hands, he grabbed and pulled out a gigantic ice-blue demonic core from the wound of the Frost Dragon.

The demonic core emitted a chilling aura, so intense that even though Ling Feng wrapped his palm with true qi, he still felt the bone-piercing coldness emanating from it.

At the same moment, Zifeng shot out, diving directly into the wound of the Frost Dragon. It intended to devour the dragon’s life essence before it was completely dead.

The Frost Dragon seemed to age rapidly, its body struggling briefly on the ground before becoming completely motionless.

In a swift motion, Zifeng transformed into a streak of firelight and returned to Ling Feng's dantian. Ling Feng could even hear the fellow humming a tune contentedly, clearly having enjoyed a satisfying meal and being in high spirits.

"Got the demonic core."

Ling Feng casually tossed the enormous ice-blue demonic core into his storage spirit ring, and then appeared beside Blood Python and Xiao Li in a flash.

Gulp...

Blood Python swallowed hard, staring dumbfoundedly at Ling Feng. It wasn't just him; the other team members were also left open-mouthed, their eyes bulging in disbelief as they looked at Ling Feng.

After a moment, Blood Python struggled to his knees and, his shock subsiding, exclaimed, "Many thanks for saving our lives, senior!"

The ability to kill a Frost Dragon in seconds at such a young age was simply unthinkable. Blood Python considered a possibility: the young man before him might be a centuries-old monster who had managed to maintain the appearance of a teenager.

"Godfather, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling to him?" Xiao Li looked at Blood Python in surprise, not understanding why her godfather was acting so foolishly.

"Xiao Li, kneel down quickly!" Blood Python's expression became panicked, as he forcefully made Xiao Li kneel down before Ling Feng. "Senior, Xiao Li is young and ignorant. Please don't lower yourself to her level."

Ling Feng rubbed his nose and quickly helped Blood Python up, smiling wryly. "Blood, do I look that old to you?"

"Huh? Aren't you a reclusive powerhouse who has been cultivating for hundreds of years?" Blood Python raised his head slightly, looking at Ling Feng with some uncertainty.

"No." Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, pulling up Blood Python. He then took out several Qi-Refining Pills that he had plundered from the Third Elder of the Jia Family and handed them to Blood Python, saying lightly, "These Qi-Refining Pills should quickly restore your elemental qi."

"Are you... are you really not a senior expert?" Blood Python trembled as he took the Qi-Refining Pills, still unable to believe that a teenager could defy the natural order to such an extent.

He was after all just an ordinary wandering cultivator, who had never seen a true genius. In fact, within the Tianwei Academy, there were numerous examples of Pulse Formation Realm experts defeating Transformation Realm cultivators in battle."

The Transformation Realm was a very special realm. Crossing into this realm and transforming true qi into elemental qi represented a qualitative change.

However, while some people advanced with only ten meridian gates opened, becoming an incredibly average Transformation Realm cultivator, geniuses could open thirty, forty, or even more meridian gates.

Legend had it that the maximum number of meridian gates a martial artist could open was ninety-nine.

However, legends were only legends. Even the one known as the Empire Legend, Yan Jinghong, had only opened seventy-two meridian gates to advance to the Transformation Realm.

Ling Feng smiled faintly. "I'm only eighteen years old."

Upon hearing this, Blood Python gasped. Eighteen years old...

When he himself was eighteen years old, he even struggled to deal with second-tier demonic beasts.

They were incomparable!

Soon, Ling Feng and Xiao Li gathered the other team members together. Ling Feng once again demonstrated his exceptional medical skills. With just a few acupuncture needles from him, they were all basically restored to full health. His treatment was even more effective than any miraculous medicine or elixir.

These bold men were much more straightforward compared to those scheming individuals in the sects. They didn't create any barriers with Ling Feng because of his strength. Instead, they still affectionately called him ‘Little Feng’ as before.

The night came.

The Hunting Blade Team didn't rush to continue their journey. This cold pool used to belong to the Glacial Frost Dragon, so other monsters rarely came to disturb them. Relatively speaking, it felt much safer than being elsewhere. It was a good opportunity to take a break, adjust, and deal with the corpse of the Glacial Frost Dragon.

Apart from the demonic core, Ling Feng didn't take any other materials. After all, this Glacial Frost Dragon hadn't evolved into a true dragon yet, so the medicinal value of its body parts wasn't particularly high.

Soon, the team set up a temporary base by the cold pool and lit a campfire.

Inside the Sea-Blue Abyss, though devoid of sun and moon, come nightfall, the blue light emanating from the towering ancient trees overhead would dim into obscurity, faintly visible like a myriad of stars scattered across the sky.

The members of the Hunting Blade Team were grateful to Ling Feng for saving their lives. They sat around the campfire, enjoying their rations and wine while engaging in casual conversation. Initially, their topics were relatively normal, discussing why they chose to become hunters and such.

Later on, a guy named Lone Wolf, perhaps under the influence of alcohol, started recounting his encounter with a seductive tavern owner during an adventure when he passed by a small town. After that, the conversation among these rugged men took a more colorful turn.

They were all rough men who made a living on the edge, so naturally, their conversation was straightforward. They didn't even mind that there were two women, Red Fox and Xiao Li, present. They began discussing how seductive certain widows were, or praising the skills of the courtesans in various cities.

Red Fox was perfectly fine. She sat to the side with a frosty expression, not participating in the discussions of these burly men.

Xiao Li, on the other hand, was still a sheltered young lady at heart. She couldn't bear to listen to such explicit topics, and with a disdainful huff, turned her head away. While covering her ears and wrinkling her brow, her gaze unconsciously shifted towards Ling Feng.

At that moment, Ling Feng was sitting cross-legged by the side of the cold pool, silently activating the True Art of Xuanyuan, and causing a faint glow to emanate from his body.

Seeing Ling Feng's focused expression, a shimmer of brilliance flickered in Xiao Li's eyes, and she couldn't help but be captivated by the sight. It turned out that this seemingly delicate young man was quite handsome...
