Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 707: Chapter 708: The Opportunity for Zi Feng’s Evolution! (1st Update)

”Miss Tuoba! Miss Tuoba... Yan’er!”

After Ling Feng and Tuoba Yan finally joined forces to unleash the Heaven Seal, although they managed to counteract Shen Lang’s Wine God Curse, Ling Feng was still unaccustomed to extracting strength from someone else’s body for an attack, leveraging only about 60 or 70 percent of the Heaven Seal’s power.

They were ultimately at a disadvantage in the final collision, getting blasted directly into the water.

Ling Feng was okay, having cultivated the Eight Desolate Body Forging Technique, making his physique extraordinary compared to ordinary people. However, Tuoba Yan, serving as the vessel, had almost had all her strength drained by that strike and was now rushed into the water, where she immediately lost consciousness.

The physique of the Sky Strategy Clan ultimately proved to be their greatest weakness!

Finally spotting Tuoba Yan’s figure, Ling Feng noticed she had lost consciousness underwater and hastily swam to her side, holding her in his arms while expanding his True Qi Gang Shield around them to keep the water at bay.

The lake’s water was boiling incessantly, and although Tuoba Yan’s physique was far superior to that of ordinary folk, in her unconscious state, it wouldn’t take long before she was cooked through.

”It seems that last move really overloaded her!”

”Plunge!”

Just as Ling Feng was preparing to break the surface with Tuoba Yan, he suddenly heard someone else dive into the lake from above — knowing full well it had to be that persistent Shen Lang catching up again.

”Truly an inescapable shadow!”

Ling Feng snorted coldly, now almost completely out of strength for another fight, holding Tuoba Yan as he continued deeper into the lake bed.

Because he had cultivated the Swallowing Flame Technique, high temperatures or flames were not only non-threatening to him but actually helped in his recovery.

Soon, they arrived at the misty lake bed’s rocky layer, where the Earth Veins’ intense heat was unbearable, although still some distance from the actual core of the Earth Veins; however, an intensely hot layer of steam had already formed around the perimeter.

Ling Feng circulated his True Qi, reinforcing his Primordial Qi Gang Shield once more, and crossed directly through.

After passing through the steam layer, there was no longer any lake water, replaced instead by scalding steam, which was three times hotter than the lake water.

While the temperature could reach the boiling point in lake water, the steam could be heated indefinitely.

Even Ling Feng began to feel overwhelmed by the temperature of the hot steam.

”Is this, perhaps, a direct passage to the Earth Veins?”

Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched furiously, and then the voice of Zi Feng resounded in his mind, seeming extremely excited, shouting, ”Master, master, keep going, I feel like I can continue to evolve again?”

”Oh?”

Ling Feng rolled his eyes; the last time Zi Feng evolved was when they encountered the Earth Fire Flame Ghost, and it had been a long while since then. Despite having refined plenty of good substances, Zi Feng’s strength had scarcely progressed.

In its words, it could only evolve and acquire new abilities while undergoing a shell-shedding evolution.

”I’ve sensed the presence of other Elemental Life, much stronger than this body of mine, master, master, hurry, keep moving forward!”

Zi Feng’s voice, somewhat eager and pleading, pushed him on.

”I know!”

Ling Feng pursed his lips, glanced at Tuoba Yan, who was still unconscious in his arms, and casually shifted her onto his shoulder.

(PS: Ling Feng, with his emotional quotient in the negatives, has been carrying girls like this for a hundred years!)

”Hey? There’s a cave ahead!”

As they ventured deeper, Ling Feng’s eyes suddenly brightened when he saw a cave entrance to his left. The entrance was somewhat narrow but wide enough to allow two or three people to walk side by side.

It must be said, nature is a true master sculptor. Utilizing the scorching Earth Veins at the lake’s bottom, it had formed an almost vacuum-like cave mansion where all the water turned to steam, creating immense buoyancy that lifted the entire lake, a truly breathtaking sight.

This buoyancy also posed a significant challenge for Ling Feng— every step had to be steady, clinging tightly to the rocky walls; otherwise, the upward current could easily throw him out of the cave.

The further they descended, the more spacious it became inside, and although sunlight couldn’t reach this deep, the depths of the cave were illuminated by the Earth Vein Magma’s blazing fire light, turning the entire cave a bright red.

Descending further, the oppressive high temperatures also became unbearable for the unconscious Tuoba Yan, who finally awoke with a soft moan.

”Ah, you’re awake!”

Hearing Tuoba Yan’s moan, Ling Feng quickly put her down from his shoulder and turned back with a concerned expression.

However, upon waking, Tuoba Yan immediately gave Ling Feng a deeply resentful glare.

Despite being a delicate beauty, even at her worst, she wasn’t unattractive! This guy, reluctant to even hold her in his arms, what’s wrong with carrying her for a bit? Unbelievably, both times she had woken from unconsciousness, he had been carrying her like a sack!

What disdain did he have for her that he had to carry her like a sack of potatoes?

Seeing Tuoba Yan’s expression, Ling Feng was baffled. What’s wrong with her now?

No wonder the ancients always said that a woman’s heart is as unfathomable as the sea floor!

”What is this place?” Tuoba Yan sighed softly, not as frail as most women. She rubbed her abdomen and asked through gritted teeth, ”Why is it so hot?”

”This is a cave mansion under that big river.” Ling Feng touched his nose and honestly replied, ”Zi Feng told me that there might be some opportunities here for him to evolve.”

”Hehe, yes, yes!”

With a flash of purple light, the tiny stone man, Zi Feng, hopped out from inside Ling Feng and jumped onto Ling Feng’s shoulder in a few swift movements.

Having lived under the same roof for a while, Tuoba Yan naturally knew of Zi Feng’s existence. She clenched her teeth but didn’t say much else.

”Unfortunately, since you and I must be in the same space, I can’t just throw you directly into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.”

Ling Feng thought for a moment, seeing Tuoba Yan looking weak, he sighed lightly, ”Forget it, I’ll take you to the Five Elements Heavenly Palace for healing first.”

However, in the next moment, Ling Feng was shocked to find that the space below the lake seemed governed by some special rule. His Five Elements Heavenly Palace couldn’t be opened!

Not only the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, but his Spirit Storage Ring also couldn’t be activated!

”What kind of place is this?”

Ling Feng couldn’t help but murmur in annoyance. This God Demon Battlefield really was filled with unknown dangers at every turn!

A place where Space Magic Treasures couldn’t be activated must definitely be within the range of an Ancient Array. It was no wonder the structure beneath the lake seemed so peculiar—everything had been designed by someone.

”What’s wrong?” Tuoba Yan, noticing Ling Feng’s changed expression, couldn’t help asking.

”We can’t activate Space Magic Treasures here. See if you can open your Space Spirit Ring,” Ling Feng said gravely.

Tuoba Yan tried and shook her head. Then, even Zi Feng looked distressed and said, ”Ah, master, it seems I can’t open my independent space either!”
