Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

”Senior Sister Yuee, it’s all right now.”

Ling Feng held Yuee HuaQin’s waist with one hand. Seeing Yuee HuaQin’s pale, frightened face, he couldn’t help but gently pat her cheek.

Yuee HuaQin finally came to her senses, opened her beautiful eyes, and found herself leaning against Ling Feng’s chest. A blush instantly spread across her pretty face.

Ling Feng helped Yuee HuaQin straighten up, noticing her tattered clothes, with both sleeves shattered and the robe at her midriff cut open in several places, revealing the fair, tender skin beneath.

Ling Feng pursed his lips, quickly took off his coat, and handed it to Yuee HuaQin.

”Thank you, Junior Brother Ling.”

Yuee HuaQin silently draped Ling Feng’s cloak over herself, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ling Feng, lightly pursing her delicate lips as she said, ”You saved me again, for the third time, right...?”

”Haha, maybe I owed you in my past life.”

Ling Feng smiled faintly, then checked Yuee HuaQin’s pulse and found she was fine, so he calmly said, ”The path ahead is already blocked. Let’s keep moving.”

People have different levels of closeness, and his relationship with Yuee HuaQin was decent, so taking her along was no harm.

”Okay.”

Yuee HuaQin gently nodded, seemingly mistaken about something, her cheeks slightly reddened, head bowed, slightly afraid to look at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng naturally had no idea what was on Yuee HuaQin’s mind. He withdrew Ten Directions Annihilation and prepared to continue forward.

”Wait... wait a moment...”

Yuee HuaQin suddenly grabbed Ling Feng’s sleeve, lightly pursing her lips as she said, ”Junior Brother Ling, aren’t you going to search the treasure vaults on both sides first?”

”Treasure vaults?”

Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched, suddenly realizing something.

”Yes, after defeating the Guardiand, the paths on both sides lead to a cave with treasures inside. But you can only choose one direction, then you must continue forward,” Yuee HuaQin said, blinking her eyes. ”What’s wrong, Junior Brother Ling? You weren’t planning to just keep moving forward, were you?”

After hearing Yuee HuaQin’s words, Ling Feng suddenly felt as if Heavenly Thunder was rumbling—meaning he had already missed two treasure vaults!

At that moment, Ling Feng felt as if millions of ”Alpaca Divine Beasts” were rushing through his mind. Who the hell made these rules!

This is damn ridiculous!

No wonder he hadn’t gotten anything along the way! It turns out, he was just too straightforward!

Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng forced a smile, cleared his throat, and said, ”How could that be? Of course, I know there’s a treasure vault on both sides!”

”Hehe...”

Yuee HuaQin, who was clever and quick-witted, saw the expression on Ling Feng’s face akin to having swallowed a fly and knew what had happened before. But she didn’t say a word about it, just narrowed her eyes and laughed, ”Well, which side are you choosing this time, Junior Brother Ling?”

”The left side then...”

Ling Feng chose the left treasure vault, Yuee HuaQin smiled and followed.

Just as Yuee HuaQin said, it wasn’t long before Ling Feng spotted a moderately sized cave ahead, with several dusty wooden racks inside the cave and some boxes scattered casually on the ground.

Rather than a treasure vault, it looked more like an abandoned warehouse. Whether or not he would find treasures depended on his luck.

The two searched the cave for a while and obtained some ore materials; besides these, there were miscellaneous items, like pots, bowls, and pans.

These things had been preserved for countless thousands of years, and could be considered antiques. However, for a cultivator, such items were less valuable than a single Elemental Crystal.

Finding nothing extravagant in the so-called treasure vault, Ling Feng felt more balanced inside.

If the third vault was like this, what good stuff could have been in the first two? Missing them was probably no big loss.

After finishing the search, Ling Feng continued with Yuee HuaQin, since he couldn’t just leave her behind.

After all, the Guardian at the third level almost completely overwhelmed Yuee HuaQin, and the areas beyond were clearly places where she couldn’t tread.

But for Ling Feng, defeating two Guardians alone wasn’t too challenging.

Soon, Ling Feng led Yuee HuaQin past the Fourth Level and Fifth Level regions, gaining some tangible rewards along the way.

...

”Defeat me, and you may enter the Great Wilderness Divine Palace.”

Finally, upon reaching the Seventh Level area, two Guardians appeared yet again, barring Ling Feng and Yuee HuaQin’s path.

The demeanor of these two Guardians was still incredibly cold but their formations were much more solid than the previous ones.

For Ling Feng, these Guardians were inherently different from those he had encountered before.

The Guardians on this level had no astonishingly fierce aura nor an imposing radiance. To Ling Feng, their presence was very ordinary, like a common person.

But Ling Feng knew that this represented the true Return to the Truth realm.

”Looks like this is the last checkpoint! The Great Wilderness Divine Palace, huh? Interesting!”

Ling Feng stepped forward, eyes fixed on the two Guardians ahead, ready to fight two against one without fear.

Yuee HuaQin wisely retreated to the side, aware that this level of battle was not something she could interfere with. Joining the fray would only be a hindrance, turning her into a burden for Ling Feng.

Bzzz!

The Void trembled as the two Guardians before him unsheathed their swords!

The sword light swept down without the thunderous roar, the terrifying spectacle of an army charging forward, or the nearly flaying fierce aura, yet it held an obscure depth, nearly silent.

Such a sword, pure slaughter.

All its sharpness was contained within the Sword Blade, as if all the Strength was hidden inside. Once it hit the target, the full power would explode, and its might was fearsome beyond compare.

The two Guardians, one on the left and one on the right, cooperated seamlessly, two fierce Sword Qi weaving into a Sword Shadow net, descending straight down towards Ling Feng.

A glint of seriousness flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes. If his Elemental Power wasn’t Imprisoned, he could use the Thunder God Shadow’s Heavenly Thunder Avatar to dodge this strike directly, but now, the only thing he could rely on was his sword.

Clang, clang, clang!

In the blink of an eye, Ling Feng’s Ten Directions Annihilation clashed with the Sword Edge of those two Guardians over a hundred times.

From Yuee HuaQin’s viewpoint, she only saw three blurry figures flickering in the darkness at a speed almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.

After about thirty breaths, Ling Feng gradually adapted to the sword moves of the Seventh Level Guardians, using the Emperor’s Eye to discern their flaws. With one piercing strike, he directly pierced through the throats of the two Guardians.

Unblemished! Neat!

The two Guardians were slain by Ling Feng with a single flawless sword move.

As the light and shadows faded, Ling Feng stood with his hands behind his back, the Sword Edge pointing diagonally to the ground. This battle reaped many benefits.

Yuee HuaQin looked at Ling Feng’s back, her beautiful eyes sparkling with brilliance.

With the disappearance of those two Guardians, the path ahead extended once more. However, this time, no fork appeared, just a long passage extending forward.

Perhaps, at the end of this passage lay the Guardian’s so-called Great Wilderness Divine Palace.
