Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1239: Island Crisis! (First Update)

”Thank you, young master... This old body can finally be free...”

In the last moments of the old woman’s life, she no longer screamed or shouted. Instead, a sense of relief was evident in her eyes.

She didn’t have many chances to choose her own fate, but at least, in this final moment, she became human again, rather than a man-eating demon.

”Alas...”

Lin Mu shook his head and sighed, ”I really didn’t expect that within the Miracle Sea, there is a hidden group of such devils! Granny Ma may have deserved her fate, but those cultivators who turned her into a man-eating devil are even more deserving of death!”

”Yes, this world shouldn’t exist!”

Ling Feng took a deep breath and said slowly, ”If I encounter those man-eating demons from Heavenly Pond Island, I’ll make them understand what karma truly means!”

”I won’t let them go either!”

Lin Mu snorted softly, his face rarely showing such a grave expression.

Before long, beside Ma Chunhua’s wooden house, Ling Feng and Lin Mu dug a big pit, collected as many of Ma Chunhua and her son’s scattered bones as possible, and buried them together, erecting a simple tombstone.

The fate of this mother and son was too tragic, at least in death, they should find peace.

”Granny Ma, I will avenge you!”

Lin Mu sighed lightly and slowly engraved on the tombstone, ”Grave of Humans, Ma Chunhua and her son.”

The word ’human’ was particularly special for this mother and son.

”Let’s go!”

Ling Feng patted Lin Mu’s shoulder. This guy was a man of feelings. Although a bit flamboyant, he was at least someone worth befriending deeply.

”Alright.”

Lin Mu nodded, and the two of them retraced their steps. Before they could reach the coast, they suddenly heard a terrifying laughter coming from the temporary garrison by the shoreline.

”Not good! Could it be those man-eating cultivators from Heavenly Pond Island?”

Ling Feng’s expression changed slightly. Tuoba Yan was still by the shore, and although he had left her some elixirs to recover elemental power, who knew what cultivation those man-eating cultivators possessed!

In an instant, Ling Feng and Lin Mu accelerated dramatically, rushing towards the coast.

From a distance, Ling Feng saw a shadow swiftly flying and circling in mid-air by the shore, staring at the humans below and letting out an eerie laugh.

The speed was so fast, nearly comparable to a middle-stage Human Emperor!

”What the hell is that thing!”

Ling Feng focused his eyes and could vaguely make out that the shadow in the air had a pair of gigantic wings, somewhat bat-like, but incredibly large, with a wingspan extending beyond two meters!

”This is the aura!”

Ling Feng frowned. Ever since he was teleported to this island, he felt a very peculiar aura, part-demon, part-devil, somewhat resembling the aura of an Outer Heaven Demon, but not pure. In sum, it was the aura of a mutated monster.

”These are the man-eating cultivators Granny Ma mentioned, to think they mutated into such ghostly forms!”

Lin Mu frowned, not expecting the strength of those man-eating cultivators to become so terrifying!

Ling Feng quickly increased his pace and rushed back to the coast, finding Lou Qianzhong vigilantly staring at the sky, emitting his powerful middle-stage Human Emperor aura.

Probably, this was the reason the monster didn’t dare attack them for now.

”Ling Feng!”

”The fatty has returned!”

Seeing Ling Feng return, Tuoba Yan and Lan Yuhuang visibly relaxed and quickly approached him.

Lan Yuhuang asked urgently, ”Fatty, is this island really that big, why were you gone for so long?”

”Let’s not talk about that now.”

Ling Feng furrowed his brows, glanced in Lou Qianzhong’s direction, and said in a deep voice, ”Brother Lou, when did that monster in the sky arrive?”

”About 15 minutes ago.”

Lou Qianzhong’s expression was grave as he said in a deep voice, ”Luckily, I noticed it early, otherwise, that monster would have likely taken our people away. But I really have to thank your little wife for giving me an elixir to recover primordial qi.”

”Little wife?” Ling Feng was puzzled for a moment, then heard Lan Yuhuang exclaim angrily, ”Nonsense, this lady is not that guy’s little wife!”

”Tsk, you held and hugged each other, what’s not like a little wife?”

Lou Qianzhong chuckled.

”Alright, now isn’t the time to talk about these things, the situation is complicated.”

Ling Feng took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, ”Brother Lou, listen to me first. It turns out that inside the Miracle Sea, apart from us, there are also other humans, though strictly speaking, they’re not quite human anymore.”

”What do you mean with ’human yet not human’, you’ve got me all confused?”

Lou Qianzhong pressed Ling Feng’s shoulder and said heartily, ”Brother, explain it clearly to me!”

”Let’s talk while walking!”

Ling Feng glanced up at the monster in the sky and said solemnly, ”I think that guy is probably gathering companions. Once the other monsters arrive, we might not even be able to escape!”

With that, he drew his flying sword, grabbed Tuoba Yan and Lan Yuhuang, and flew off directly.

Lin Mu nodded at Lou Qianzhong and also took to the sky, flying after Ling Feng. ”This...” Seeing the serious expressions on Ling Feng and Lin Mu’s faces, Lou Qianzhong waved his hand and shouted, ”Let’s go!”

An hour later, the group had long since left that island, but they hadn’t flown far; instead, they stopped on a huge reef.

”Are you serious?”

Lou Qianzhong’s face was solemn, his voice tinged with a slight tremor, ”This place is actually a man-eating world? And the cultivators left in the Miracle Sea rely on eating people to enhance their strength?”

The other Human Emperors all had grim looks, remaining silent.

If what Ling Feng said was true, and the Miracle Sea had indeed turned into a man-eating world, then this place was exceedingly perilous. From the monster they had seen earlier, those monsters possessed strength equivalent to Human Emperor level; encountering them wouldn’t necessarily be favorable.

The biggest problem was that once primordial qi was depleted here, one would become a mortal, and that was the most terrifying thing!

Must they eat people too?

”Damn it, I didn’t expect the dangers within the Miracle Sea to be even more terrifying than what was rumored outside. But why is Desolate Sea Venerate unharmed?”

Lou Qianzhong cursed softly.

”Now is not the time to discuss this issue.”

Ling Feng squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, ”As far as I know, because the internal space of the Miracle Sea is too fragile, it shouldn’t allow very powerful cultivators. With our current strength, we might be able to contend with those man-eating cultivators.”

”Yes, I agree with Brother Ling’s view. For now, we should consolidate our resources. Try to save the elixirs for recovering elemental power and avoid being alone; otherwise, it’s easy to become a target for those monsters.”

Just then, a cold, mocking laugh came through.

”Hmph, utterly ridiculous! Consolidate resources? I think you’re trying to use the guise of consolidating resources to trick us out of our elixirs!”

It was Zong Lian, who laughed, ”You know this damned place can’t recover elemental power, so whoever controls the elixirs holds everyone’s lifeline, wanting to use that to manipulate us? Hmph, you think I’m a three-year-old child?”

”This...”

Zong Lian’s words instantly made everyone uneasy, and the Human Emperors who initially wanted to cooperate began to waver again.

Ling Feng shook his head, realizing that human nature is ugly in this way; despite the imminent threat, internal unity couldn’t be achieved, and they couldn’t direct their efforts externally.

This Zong Lian would sooner or later ruin the team’s efforts!
