Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1427: Chapter 1428: ”Fire Man” Ling Feng! (2)

Deep within the Underground Melt Cave.

Ling Feng raised his hand to look at his palm, where flames rose persistently, regardless of his attempts; he couldn’t absorb the flames on his body into himself.

He knew that although he survived the contest against the Burning Sky Dragon Fire, he hadn’t managed to tame and refine it. Neither could the exotic fire affect him, nor could he affect the exotic fire. Ultimately, the exotic fire attached itself to him, resulting in this very peculiar state.

Before completely refining the Burning Sky Dragon Fire, Ling Feng would likely remain in this ”Fire Man” state, with his powers inherently limited, needing to be used to resist the exotic fire burning his body.

”Ah, I didn’t expect this exotic fire to counterattack, leaving my Dragon Elephant Dominator Body Technique stuck at Eight Dragon Power, unable to break through to Ten Dragon Power. Moreover, I have to perpetually allocate around thirty percent of my strength to resist the exotic fire, making it impossible to exert my full power.”

Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. In fact, these issues were minor; they could be resolved once he refined the Burning Sky Dragon Fire.

However, the biggest problem was that this state was very hard on clothes!

It’s essential to know that the flames on his body were Burning Sky Dragon Fire, an extremely high-ranking exotic fire on the Abnormal Fire List. Although Ling Feng could use his fourth-rank Swallowing Flame to protect himself, avoiding the burning of clothes was tough.

Essentially, even with fourth-rank exotic fire protection, the clothes Ling Feng wore hardly lasted more than an hour before being burnt to ashes.

In the depths of this cave, it was manageable with no one around, but how could he return to the Land of Conquest like this?

After all, Ling Feng wasn’t in the habit of streaking, liking to run around bare-bottomed.

Thinking it over, Ling Feng took out some Immortal Metal Ore. Previously, during his time at the Heavenly Position Academy, he studied some casting knowledge alongside, and he was also skilled at controlling flames; thus, casting some simple armor wasn’t out of his hands.

It took a full sixteen hours, using the Outer Star Iron he won from Zhao Tianyi in a wager, to craft a chest armor and a piece of leg armor, cleverly covering critical locations.

However, due to limited materials and his casting skills far inferior to those in alchemy, his leg armor looked rather like a pair of iron shorts, completely lacking aesthetic appeal.

Nevertheless, the fire resistance was decent. Ling Feng wore this armor, and with the layer of flames on his body, his appearance was rather wild and impressive.

Yet the flames couldn’t be freely controlled, leaving a charred footprint with each step.

”I guess this will have to do.”

Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. He couldn’t hide here indefinitely without seeing daylight. Refining the Burning Sky Dragon Fire was completely uncertain to Ling Feng, taking potentially three to five months or maybe years.

He didn’t have the time to waste here, so he must first return to the Hall of Conquest and reconsider his strategy.

Though in this state, anything he touched would burn, posing a bit of a hassle.

Thus, clad in silver armor and blazing all over, the ”Fire Man” Ling Feng finally emerged.

Through Unlimited Vision, Ling Feng found his way back to the surface readily, discovering the main unit had already departed.

As expected, having spent three days resisting the Burning Sky Dragon Fire in the Underground Melt Cave and nearly another day crafting the armor to shield himself, such a long duration meant that if Yin Jian and the others lingered here, they’d likely meet their end in the belly of some monster sooner or later.

”It seems Sister Lee Fei and the others have left with the main group too.”

Ling Feng touched his nose, feeling slightly reassured; if they remained behind, it would be even more dangerous.

”Ah, although this state is troublesome, I must catch up with them quickly.”

Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile, knowing that if he couldn’t resolve the Burning Sky Dragon Fire issue himself, he might have to wait until reaching the East Spirit Immortal Pond to see if Elder Turtle had any solutions.

After all, in the East Spirit Immortal Pond, the only one Ling Feng found somewhat amiable was that Turtle Saint predecessor.

...

Meanwhile, in some place in the Land of Conquest, accompanied by a swirl of Vigorous Wind, a dozen figures whistled past, with gale-like movements below causing the earth to split into deep rifts.

Upon closer inspection, one could see it was five black-robed individuals pursuing a white-clad woman ahead at full speed.

She was a peerless beauty, with icy skin and jade bones, her exquisite features sculpted with maturity and grace overlapping.

Her three thousand strands of hair cascaded behind her slender figure, fluttering in the wind.

At a glance, she was akin to a Nine Heavens Immortal, her elegance unmatched in the world.

The woman wore white clothing as pure as snow, but somewhere on her chest, there lingered a stain of blood, glaringly red.

Her speed was incredibly fast, darting across the air like a ray of light, vanishing in a flash, yet the five black-robed individuals chasing her showed no signs of slowing, pursuing tirelessly, each one furious and seeming frenzied.

The leader was a white-haired elder, adorned with peculiar bone tooth necklaces on his body, with strange patterns carved onto his face, unkempt hair, seemingly of the Barbarian Clan from his appearance.

Behind him, each of the four wore ghost face masks with green-faced fangs, exposing only their fierce eyes, furiously chasing the woman ahead, as if intending to tear her to pieces.

Their eyes seemed as if they wanted to devour her, glaring fiercely at the woman as if she had committed an unforgivable monumental crime!

”Hui Yue Demoness! You dare to infiltrate my Barbarian God Temple alone, killing dozens of Great Emperors of my clan; this enmity is irreconcilable, prepare to die!”

The leading elder waved his hand mightily, shadows of heavenly demons flickered, layers upon layers, the color of the heaven and earth changed as if an apocalypse descended.

It turned out that previously, Xu Taishang of the Hall of Conquest released a Void Fire Jade, sending a message to the Immortal Pond for aid, and Hui Yue Saintess volunteered to go to the Barbarian Clan Temple, assassinating Barbarian Emperors. (PS: See Chapter 1400 Shocking World Heavenly Bell)

With her Moon God’s Dream divine skill, she merely had to be within a certain distance to kill unseen, making those Barbarian Emperors die in their dreams.

Indeed, Hui Yue Saintess was profoundly skilled in Dao, with vast divine abilities, successively slaying over ten Barbarian Emperors, heavily thwarting the Barbarian Clan’s vigor. However, her high count of slain Barbarian Emperors caught the senior members’ attention.

Finally, this Barbarian Clan Supreme Elder personally acted, leading ten Emperor-level guards from the Barbarian God Temple in a collective assault on Hui Yue Saintess, fighting bitterly for a full day and night.

Despite encountering such formidable foes, Hui Yue Saintess astonishingly broke through their encirclement, slaying all but four of the Emperor-level guards though herself suffering grave injuries.

This led to the previous scene where the Barbarian Clan Supreme, filled with rage, pursued Hui Yue Saintess with the remaining four Emperor’s guards.

After all, more than twenty Barbarian Emperors had already perished at Hui Yue Saintess’s hands, and these weren’t the initial-stage Emperors freshly stepping into Emperor Level. For the Barbarian Clan as a whole, it was an enormous loss.

On the front lines, even with the Demon Clan’s alliance, signs of defeat started emerging.

Should the Northern Demon Clan learn they lost several high-level Emperors, their alliance might face unexpected changes.

The Demon Clan was never a reliable ally; once they discovered the Barbarian Clan’s plummeting morale, they might be the first to turn against the Barbarian Clan.

After all, devouring humans from the Hall of Conquest was the same as consuming humans from the Barbarian Clan; why would the Demon Clan choose the tougher prey?
