The Art of Chaotic Divinity

After Long Xiao departed, Ling Feng felt a surge of joy. This time, he could truly consider himself to have gotten really lucky.

Seeing the elders and disciples from nearby sects gathering around and paying their respects, Wen Tingguang furrowed his brows. He grabbed Ling Feng's shoulder and continued flying towards the direction of the Wenxian Sect.

He naturally had little interest in building connections with those third-rate sects.

Before long, Wen Tingguang landed with Ling Feng on a mountaintop.

After the fierce battle with the Earth-Fire Flame Demon earlier, it was evident that Ling Feng had also sustained some injuries. Now, after flying for a while, he immediately felt a wave of weakness wash over his entire body.

"How are you, Brother Wen?"

As soon as they landed, Wen Tingguang staggered, nearly falling to the ground. Ling Feng hurried forward to support him, placing his hand on Wen Tingguang's pulse. After a moment of sensing, Ling Feng finally felt relieved.

It was just excessive depletion, and Wen Tingguang hadn't sustained any serious injuries.

Supporting Wen Tingguang as he leaned against a rock and sat down, Ling Feng took out his golden needles once more and administered acupuncture to him. Wen Tingguang's pale complexion immediately regained some color. With just a night's rest, he would be fine.

"Ling Feng, my friend, I owe you greatly for this," Wen Tingguang expressed his gratitude sincerely.

Wen Tingguang sighed deeply. If Ling Feng hadn't suddenly appeared at the critical moment and subdued the Earth-Fire Flame Demon, he might have been in dire straits this time.

Considering his condition at that time, facing a raging Earth-Fire Flame Demon would have been a dead end for him.

"Actually, it was me..." Zifeng, seated on Ling Feng's shoulder, immediately wore a look of disagreement upon hearing Wen Tingguang's words. He was about to speak up in defense, but Ling Feng covered his mouth with a finger, chuckling. "Just a stroke of luck, nothing more."

Wen Tingguang gave Zifeng a curious glance, feeling that something seemed off about it, but he didn't dwell on it.

After all, besides being the Earth-Fire Flame Demon, who else could it be?

Taking over the body of a demon lord and completing a shell-shedding evolution was something that Wen Tingguang would never have imagined, no matter how hard he tried to think about it.

"Alright, Brother Wen, you rest up for now. Don't think too much. I'll go around and see if I can find any herbs that can help restore your spiritual energy."

"Alright." Wen Tingguang nodded slightly in response. Without further ado, he sat cross-legged, cleared his mind of distractions, and began to meditate to restore his energy.

Ling Feng hoisted Zifeng up with one hand, executing the Cloud-Chasing Steps as he dashed toward the distant dense forest. In just a few swift movements, he vanished into the depths of the woods.

As for how Zifeng managed to occupy the body of the Earth-Fire Flame Demon and complete its evolution, Ling Feng himself was completely puzzled.

Now, he was also filled with doubts and needed that fellow Zifeng to provide him with some answers.

Before long, Ling Feng concealed himself inside a tree hollow, sitting cross-legged. He placed Zifeng's seven-inch body in front of him and then asked, "Zifeng, I need to ask you, what exactly is going on here?"

"Ah!" Zifeng also sighed, imitating Ling Feng's posture by sitting cross-legged, hands folded in front of his chest. With an air of mock dignity, it said, "Didn't I already tell you? I just evolved a little!"

"How did you evolve? Are you saying you can freely occupy the bodies of any living being?"

"Of course not. It must be a life form similar to mine. Just like that Earth-Fire Flame Demon, although it belongs to the demon race, its essence is the fire of the earth's core. I can only occupy pure elemental life forms to complete the molting evolution."

"Elemental life forms..." Ling Feng pursed his lips, hearing this term for the first time today.

Pausing for a moment, Ling Feng continued, "Then how did you occupy the body of the Earth-Fire Flame Demon? Are you suggesting that you just ask the demon nicely and it willingly hands over its body to you?"

"Hehe, because its soul was originally in a berserk state, and it was also attacked by the spiritual will of that old guy Wen, so I took advantage of the situation and sealed its soul directly into that Earth-Fire Crystal."

Zifeng curled it lips, then continued, "It's the red gem I gave you before. It contains all the power of that big guy's Earth-Fire."

In other words, that Earth-Fire Crystal was somewhat similar to the demon core of the Earth-Fire Flame Demon, except that it didn't store its demonic power but rather the essence of fire painstakingly condensed from the depths of the earth.

Ling Feng took out the red round stone from the storage ring, inside of which indeed contained a domineering and fierce flame energy, along with a very violent will, seemingly roaring wildly.

This was the soul of the Earth-Fire Flame Demon.

"This guy's soul essence is too powerful for me to destroy, so I can only temporarily seal it inside. Master, now it's up to you to deal with it." Zifeng grinned, looking cunning. "Let that big guy see how powerful you are!"

"Mm-hmm."

Ling Feng nodded, naturally understanding Zifeng’s words. All he needed to do was to activate the Eye of Plunder, and he could easily devour the residual Earth-Fire Flame Demon's soul inside the gem.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng urged the blood energy in his dantian, causing the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl to slowly rise. Before long, a bright red blood-colored sphere appeared on Ling Feng's forehead, resembling an eyeball embedded there.

"Bloodthirsty... Plunder!"

With a flash of bloodlight from the Eye of Plunder, the void before him tore apart, extending a pitch-black demonic hand that reached out to grab the Earth-Fire Crystal.

Seeing this ethereal demonic hand, Zifeng couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. Back then, he had almost been captured by this very hand!

Roar!

A roar like a wild beast echoed in Ling Feng's mind, and a fierce face suddenly appeared before him. It looked extremely illusory, like a dark red glow.

The ferocious face stared fiercely at Ling Feng and roared. "Lowly human, how dare you plot against me!?"

"Hmph, rest in peace!"

Ling Feng snorted lightly and activated the Eye of Plunder. In just a moment, he completely swallowed the soul of the Earth-Fire Flame Demon.

For the Eye of Plunder, a soul devoid of its physical shell was the most delectable dessert imaginable.

The void sealed shut, and the ethereal demonic hand disappeared into it, while the Eye of Plunder retracted back into Ling Feng's body.

A wave of pleasure surged through Ling Feng's spirit. The profound sense of fulfillment from the depths of his soul made him unable to resist humming softly. Although the enhancement of his soul essence didn't manifest significant effects in the early stages, he understood that the benefits of a powerful soul essence would become evident as his cultivation realm advanced.

Having devoured the soul of a demon lord, Ling Feng's soul essence had strengthened by at least threefold.

Slowly exhaling a turbid breath, Ling Feng pinched the red gemstone. The incredibly pure flame energy inside it left Ling Feng momentarily stunned.

The incredibly pure flame energy had automatically formed a realm of flames, making Ling Feng feel as if he were immersed in a sea of fire.

"Master, what do you think? Have you also realized how powerful this Earth-Fire Crystal is?"

Zifeng chuckled. “This is a very precious fire attribute spiritual object!"
