Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1535: Chapter 1536: Fire Refining Array

Ling Feng had a vague feeling that something was amiss with this Fire Refining Prison, so he didn’t want to waste too much time. He directly opened the portal to the Five Elements Heavenly Palace and pushed and kicked Ye Guichen and the others into the palace.

Next, Ling Feng opened one cell after another, sending the people from the Heavenly Position Academy, Alchemy Master Guild, General YingYang’s Mansion, Grand Commandant Mansion, and several court officials unrelated to him, all into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.

Once inside the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, naturally, someone would explain everything to them.

However, after thoroughly searching the Fire Refining Prison, Ling Feng still did not find the Heavenly Position Academy Dean Mu Yun Sang, YingYang General Deng Xian, or the Alchemy Master Guild President Hong Haotian.

These three crucial people seemed to be imprisoned within the Imperial City by Yaan Jinghong!

”Yaan Jinghong, you are indeed cunning!”

Ling Feng sighed lightly. After confirming there were no other prisoners, he prepared to leave the Fire Refining Prison.

...

At the same time, on a hill about ten miles away from the Fire Refining Prison, a mysterious man wrapped in a thick black robe, surrounded by black mist, exuded a strong bloody aura, making people shudder at the sight.

At this moment, the mysterious man was staring unblinkingly in the direction of the Fire Refining Prison, with a sinister smile on his lips.

Behind him, there was an elite squad of approximately thirty Imperial City Guards.

”Lord National Master, all your arrangements have been prepared, and the Fire Refining Array has been set!”

A little captain wearing Imperial City Guard armor rushed to the black-robed man, reporting loudly.

”Hmm, well done!”

The black-robed man, standing with his hands behind his back, on closer inspection, revealed a faint ghostly glow under his wide sleeves.

It was the gleam emitted from a sword blade, and the dense demonic aura emanated from this Demon Sword.

Indeed, this so-called Lord National Master was none other than the ”Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch” Lee Qingling from the Blood God Sect, Lin Canglang’s temporary ”cooperative partner.”

In the battle at Zangfeng Plain that day, Lee Qingling realized the situation was not favorable, so he abandoned Lin Canglang early. Lin Canglang, in Ling Feng’s hands, was almost completely destroyed in body and soul, leaving only a wisp of a residual soul to escape.

Afterward, Lin Canglang found the talented Yaan Jinghong, intending to seize his body. Unexpectedly, Yaan Jinghong instead devoured Lin Canglang’s Divine Soul, thereby obtaining the Saint Level Demon Technique, ”Heavenly Demon Forget Love Technique,” practiced by Lin Canglang.

However, Lin Canglang’s obsession and consciousness still influenced Yaan Jinghong to some extent.

After Yaan Jinghong successfully cultivated the Demon Technique, he found Lee Qingling, and together they opened a secret treasure. Because of this, Yaan Jinghong’s cultivation improved rapidly, mastering the Seven Emotions Demon Wheel of the ”Heavenly Demon Forget Love Technique” in just half a year.

That secret treasure had always been hidden within the ”Moving Flower and Burying Jade Sword Scripture.”

Lin Canglang had spent his entire life, from his time as the Sect Leader of the Wenxian Sect, trying to obtain this item. He eventually captured Duanmu Qingshan, using him as leverage to exchange for this ”Sword Scripture,” but in the end, he unwittingly became Yaan Jinghong’s stepping stone; a truly ironic tale.

Within the ”Moving Flower and Burying Jade Sword Scripture,” there was a treasure vault hidden by the Ancient Sect ”Yihua Palace.” With the opportunities from this vault, Yaan Jinghong gained the power he now possessed.

Of course, Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch Lee Qingling also reaped benefits. With the Ancient Demon Sword and the vault’s opportunities, his cultivation had surpassed the fifth realm of Human Emperor. With his body filled with evil techniques, even ordinary Extreme Human Emperors were no match for him.

This Fire Refining Prison was the second trap laid by Yaan Jinghong and Lee Qingling for Ling Feng. (PS: The first was in the Weiyuan General Mansion.)

”Ling Feng, Ling Feng, I didn’t expect you to arrive so soon. However, since you came swiftly, you will also die swiftly. Enjoy the taste of the Fire Refining Prison, hahaha!”

A cold gleam flashed in Lee Qingling’s eyes as he soared skyward, manipulating the Earth Vein’s firepower at the core of the Great Formation. It was a grand gift for Ling Feng’s return!

Rumbling sounds resonated; the Earth Veins beneath the Fire Refining Prison grew increasingly restless and tumultuous.

Meanwhile, after sending the last Elder imprisoned in the Fire Refining Prison into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, Ling Feng finally understood why he felt so uneasy.

The entire Fire Refining Prison was actually a natural Array!

Though Ling Feng’s expertise in Array Formations was quite lacking, he had studied for a while at the Heavenly Position Academy. Array Formation is an art of leveraging forces. This Fire Refining Prison, harboring an Earth Vein with immense energy beneath, could become an inescapable and deadly formation by channeling the Earth Vein’s power through arrays.

In an instant, Ling Feng felt all the Fire Spiritual Power around him being drained, followed by a terrifying suction force, seemingly extracting the Fire Spiritual Energy from his body!

”This Array!”

Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched slightly, surmising that Yaan Jinghong had suffered from his Swallowing Flame technique before, thus resorting to this array to suppress his inner Swallowing Flame!

”Hahaha, Ling Feng, we meet again!”

A sinister laugh echoed in the sky. Ling Feng, trapped within the array, saw a vast, grimacing face in the Heavenly Vault, staring coldly down at him.

”Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch?”

Though unable to see Lee Qingling directly, Ling Feng sensed from the repulsive demonic aura that the person manipulating the array was indeed the Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch, Lee Qingling.

”Hahaha, kid, didn’t expect it, did you? You finally fell into my hands! Yaan Jinghong clearly overestimated you. I bet by this time next year, you’ll be dead!”

Lee Qingling laughed heartily. The Fire Refining Array could devour all Fire Spiritual Power within, constantly draining Ling Feng’s Elemental Power due to his inner Swallowing Flame. It wouldn’t take long before his Primordial Fire was refined, significantly weakening him.

By then, the Fire Refining Array alone could likely annihilate Ling Feng.

”What a set-up you conjured, anticipating my arrival at the Fire Refining Prison to rescue people!”

Ling Feng took a deep breath; this Fire Refining Array was undoubtedly the nemesis of all Fire Attribute cultivators. With the power of the Earth Veins below, even ordinary Emperor Strong would struggle to break free.

If a Fire Element Emperor were caught in this array, with their Fire Element Elemental Power suppressed, they would ultimately fall into calamity.

After all, Earth Vein Power is energy of the natural world. Forcing through the array to ignite the Earth Veins could unleash devastating power, leveling a hundred-mile radius, which might even pulverize an expert like the Hui Yue Saintess.

However, Emperor Strong would never fall so easily into such formations. Ling Feng, driven by urgency to rescue, unwittingly fell into their trap.
