Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Within Tianyun Prefecture.

”Elder Wu, this is the final winner list for this Heavenly Enlightenment selection, please have a look.”

Ao Jue handed a list to a white-haired elder, who slightly opened his eyes, scanned it briefly, and suddenly exclaimed, ”Hmm? Why aren’t World Tower Master Yang Tai and his son on the list? Didn’t they participate in the Heavenly Enlightenment selection?”

Given the strength of the World Tower Master, passing the assessment should be no problem, right?

”Indeed, their names are not on it.”

Ao Jue slowly said, ”However, these two did indeed participate in the selection.”

”Strange.”

Elder Wu tapped his fingers on the table, completely unable to comprehend such a bizarre occurrence.

”Who is this Ling Feng?”

Elder Wu glanced again at the list, mostly filled with familiar names, except for Ling Feng, who seemingly had no reputation in Tianyun Holy City.

”I guess he must be a master who recently arrived in the Holy City.”

Ao Jue laughed, trying to brush it off directly.

Although he didn’t know why Ling Feng wanted to keep his identity a secret, as a friend, Ao Jue had no reason to expose Ling Feng’s background.

Just then, a rush of footsteps could be heard outside the hall. In no time, several tributes hurriedly rushed in.

”Elder, something big has happened!”

”What’s the matter?” Elder Wu rose abruptly, seeing the anxiety of these tributes, it was clearly no ordinary matter.

”That... that sleeping high-ranked Demon Emperor... it’s... it’s gone?”

The leading tribute said anxiously.

”What?”

Elder Wu frowned, they had been planning to gather manpower to hunt it while it was in deep sleep.

Unexpectedly, following the Heavenly Enlightenment selection, that high-ranked Demon Emperor they had been targeting is suddenly missing?

”Could that beast have awakened?”

Elder Wu’s eyelids twitched violently, then he shook his head, ”Impossible, if that beast had woken up, none of those who participated in the Heavenly Enlightenment selection would have survived!”

”But...”

Elder Wu furrowed his brows, ”If it hasn’t awakened, how could it suddenly go missing?”

”Elder, near where the high-level Demon Emperor was sleeping, we found a large amount of bloodstains, even some shattered scales and flesh.”

”There were also signs of intense battle around, it seems a fierce fight must have occurred.”

”There are also burn marks present, emitting powerful flame rule fluctuations, at least at the sixth-level rule!”

The tributes reported their findings in great detail.

”Sixth-level flame rules? Confronting that beast head-on?”

Elder Wu fell into deep thought; this is not possible with the strength of the martial artists who participated in the Heavenly Enlightenment selection.

”It seems that another master took action first against that high-ranked Demon Emperor!”

After some time, Elder Wu sighed lightly, drawing a conclusion.

Only then did Ao Jue remember asking Ling Feng about the high-level Demon Emperor, sensing something odd in Ling Feng’s expression.

Could it be, the death of that high-ranked Demon Emperor has anything to do with him?

At the thought of this, Ao Jue almost felt a suffocating sensation.

That was a high-ranked Demon Emperor!

Could Ling Feng possibly be that strong?

Shaking his head vigorously, Ao Jue dismissed the rather laughable notion.

As strong as Ling Feng might be, he could not possibly contend with a high-ranked Demon Emperor; he was definitely overthinking.

”If I am not mistaken, the World Tower Master and his son probably had bad luck and encountered that awakened beast, leading to their unfortunate demise.”

Elder Wu sighed lightly, as it was under his patronage that the World Tower had reached its current position, and now with the master’s death, decades of his efforts seemed wasted.

...

On the other side, Ling Feng naturally didn’t know the death of the high-ranked Demon Emperor had caused quite a stir.

Once back in his quarters, Ling Feng began examining that peculiar fragment.

Although the perception was extremely faint, Ling Feng could distinctly sense the presence of chaotic power within the fragment.

Being a Chaos Body, carrying Chaos Origin within him, his sensitivity to chaotic power was naturally extremely high.

He even had a feeling, this inconspicuous fragment might be his greatest gain from this journey.

Holding it in hand, twiddling it around, Ling Feng attempted to inject elemental power, the fragment merely emitted a faint golden light, then remained completely still.

Attempting to infuse spiritual power, Ling Feng sensed a powerful spirit barrier, blocking his spiritual power from penetrating it.

Even when Ling Feng tried to open the fragment, employing the Power of Hundred Dragons, he couldn’t damage the fragment one bit!

”What on earth is this material, so incredibly hard?”

Ling Feng frowned, feeling like a starving ghost seeing an unclothed beauty before him, yet separated by an unbreakable barrier.

The feeling was unbearable!

Unfortunately, the Despicable Donkey had entered deep sleep after devouring a large amount of the Sky Swallowing Python’s essence blood, leaving Ling Feng with no one to consult.

”Forget it, it seems the opportunity has not yet arrived.”

Ling Feng shook his head; the Xiao Zhantian family had held the fragment for centuries without uncovering its secrets, though he could sense the chaotic power within, it might require a specific circumstance to unlock its mysteries.

Storing the fragment carefully, Ling Feng fell soundly asleep.

Tomorrow morning, preparing to head to Yunluo Sacred Land!

Either way, he was one step closer to his goal.

...

The next morning, the ten who had obtained tokens returned to Tianyun Prefecture.

Xiao Zhantian, quite naturally, walked over to Ling Feng and greeted him.

”Haha, Brother Ling, you arrived early!”

Xiao Zhantian was dressed head to toe in treasures of Treasure Level or higher, exuding the aura of wealth, looking every bit the typical prodigal, second-generation rich kid.

His cultivation was essentially achieved through consuming spiritual elixirs, putting him at the bottom among those of the same level, but he reached the level of Extreme Human Emperor through such means.

Thus, sometimes being born into the right circumstances is a skill, you have to accept it.

Though Xiao Zhantian had his various flaws, he was an amusingly straightforward person, far better than those hypocritical pretenders.

”Brother Xiao isn’t late either!”

Ling Feng nodded gently at Xiao Zhantian in acknowledgment.

Soon, all ten martial artists who passed the selection gathered, and Ao Jue, Yuee HuaQin, and Wang Qian, accompanied by several Yunluo Sacred Land disciples, arrived at the courtyard.
