The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 720: Sacred Mystical-Heaven Art

"A king-tier art?"

Ling Feng's eyes flickered slightly. He understood that typical sect arts were usually categorized by the four ranks: Sky, Earth, Mystical, and Yellow. Yet Huangji Sect, being a remnant of an ancient sect, had arts even beyond the sky-tier!

It was said that above the sky-tier arts lay the king-tier, and only after the king-tier did sacred-tier arts appear.

In the Tianbai Empire, even major sects like the Cangqiong Sect possessed, at most, sky-tier arts. Perhaps only places like the sacred lands might possess king-tier arts.

Ling Feng lifted his head quickly and saw Yue Yunlan approaching, holding a manual with a slight smile on her face.

While Ling Feng had been reviewing Shen Lang's notes, Yue Yunlan and the others had not been idle. Each had been diligently looking through the manuals, hoping to find a high-tier attribute-neutral technique that would suit Ling Feng.

After all, having benefited so much from Ling Feng's help on the Battlefield of the Gods and Demons, their only way to return the favor was by helping him find a compatible martial art from the numerous manuals they had.

To their surprise, Yue Yunlan had stumbled upon an attribute-neutral martial art, Sacred Mystical-Heaven Art!

"Mr. Ling, see if this suits you," Yue Yunlan said, passing the manual over with a satisfied smile.

Ling Feng accepted the slightly yellowed book and muttered, "The Sacred Mystical-Heaven Art?"

"Mmm," Yue Yunlan nodded. "I once heard my father mention this art. Although it's classified as king-tier, it nearly qualifies as a pseudo-sacred-tier art. However, it's said to have high comprehension requirements and requires the cultivator to possess at least five different types of spiritual power attributes, so it eventually faded into obscurity. I never expected to find it here on the Battlefield of the Gods and Demons."

Ling Feng flipped through a few pages and was immediately drawn in.

The Sacred Mystical-Heaven Art

The technique could cultivate a kind of "sacred power" in his true qi, which would suppress inner demons and counteract various dark arts. This feature particularly piqued Ling Feng's interest.

Ling Feng carried the Blood of the Emperor, and each time he activated the Asura's Eye, he would lose control, sinking into a frenzied state. And because he had refined the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl, transforming it into the Eye of Plunder.

These powers often brought with them dark energy that was difficult to restrain.

This is why Ling Feng has never dared to use the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl to absorb the essence of living people. The power absorbed by the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl also carries the opponent's resentment and various negative and dark emotions. Once he cannot suppress his murderous aura, he will easily become an unforgivable demon.

However, the Sacred Mystical-Heaven Art was a martial art able to cleanse demonic tendencies and quell bloodthirst, even if it might not completely suppress the Asura's Eye's inherent evil. It should, however, be able to purify the malevolent qi generated by the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl.

"This truly is marvelous beyond comparison—indeed worthy of its pseudo-sacred-tier status!" Ling Feng nodded repeatedly, overjoyed.

It was as if the perfect solution had come to him at just the right time!

Without hesitation, he immediately switched his training focus to the Sacred Mystical-Heaven Art. With his exceptional talent and insight, coupled with the cultivation paradise of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, he should be able to transform all the true qi he had cultivated from the True Art of Xuanyuan into the true qi of the Sacred Mystical-Heaven Art before leaving the Battlefield of the Gods and Demons.

...

Two days later, at Boneyard Wasteland.

"Golden Rainbow—Piercing the Sun!"

A golden sword qi burst forth in an instant, carrying an overwhelming sharpness that swept across hundreds of zhang, slicing in half every corpse demon of the Spiritual Element Realm standing in its path.

Clean, swift!

Following the trial of lightning and fire at the underground magma river, Ling Feng's body had been tempered to an astonishing degree. Moreover, he had finally opened ninety meridian gates, a feat practically marking him as a once-in-an-era genius.

That strike just now had been the result of Ling Feng using the Five Element Ring to convert his true qi into metal-attributed true qi, from which he then channeled the metal-element sword technique of Golden Rainbow Piercing the Sun, comprehended from the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art.

In these short two days, Ling Feng had successfully converted to the Sacred Mystical-Heaven Art and even gained new insights into the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art, vastly increasing his overall strength.

"Monster!" Tuoba Yan and the others found themselves collectively cursing in disbelief, their faces twitching.

They all knew that Ling Feng had just executed that strike without even unlocking a single Primordial Lock, yet he had instantly slain over a dozen corpse demons at the Spiritual Element Realm!

"The metal-attribute sword move, as expected, stands unrivaled in power, ranking as the top move within the Heaven-Slaying Sword Art," Ling Feng said, brushing his nose with a faint hint of regret.

Unfortunately, the metal-attribute true qi he used to perform Golden Rainbow Piercing the Sun was converted through the Five Element Ring, lacking spirit infusion. If he had used spirit-infused true qi, the strike's power would have been a few times more!

After leaving the Battlefield of the Gods and Demons, he would also need to seek out advanced spiritual objects of other attributes for spirit infusion. The Five Element Ring's effect was ultimately inferior to spirit-infused true qi.

"It's about time we leave the Battlefield of the Gods and Demons," Tuoba Yan said softly, gently biting her lip as she approached Ling Feng.

"Mhm, just about," Ling Feng replied with a faint smile. If his guess was correct, Yan Jinghong and his group were still tirelessly attacking the scripture depository's protective array. The Battlefield of the Gods and Demons' opportunities had nothing to do with them now.

As the saying goes, one's gain is another's loss. Ling Feng had gained new opportunities and greatly increased his strength, while Yan Jinghong's group remained stagnant. The distance between him and Yan Jinghong had now closed even further.

In the Royal Sword Team's final challenge in the future, Ling Feng vowed to crush this so-called legend beneath his feet!

...

A few hours later, a golden light suddenly descended from the eastern sky. A golden luminous barrier fell vertically, and the surviving genius martial artists all took out their Gods and Demons tokens, answering the light's call to leave the Battlefield of the Gods and Demons.

Within this battlefield, though opportunities lay everywhere, they hadn't had a single restful night. Dangers lurked around every corner, and one misstep could result in instant death. Ten days of constant tension had left them physically and mentally exhausted.

Now that they could finally return to safety, all they likely wanted was a good, long rest.

One by one, everyone moved towards the golden luminous barrier, including Ling Feng and his companions. Crossing the luminous barrier, their vision blurred momentarily, and they found themselves back within the Cangqiong Mountain Range.
