The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1223: A Real Beauty

"Bastard! Bastard!"

The Venerable of the Desolate Sea's eyelids twitched wildly. That flying vessel was clearly no ordinary treasure. The barrier laid down together by the three Human Emperors had become completely useless!

He naturally could not have known that the Realm-Piercing Shuttle, an item renowned throughout the Immortal Domain, would be in the possession of a nameless cultivator in the Spiritual Element Realm.

The Realm-Piercing Shuttle could pass straight through even the Four Spirits Divine-Sealing Tablet that imprisoned the devilkin queen. A barrier arranged by a mere Human Emperor was nothing in comparison.

Watching Ling Feng and his group vanish, his body trembled with uncontrollable rage.

He had roamed the Tianlan Sea Region for more than a hundred years, and never once had he suffered such humiliation.

"Brat, you better never appear before me again. Otherwise, I'll make sure you're dead!"

The Venerable of the Desolate Sea glared at the night sky and let out a roar. His elemental force surged outward in a violent wave and blasted the manor before him into ruins. Only after venting his rage did he flick his sleeve and leave.

About half an hour later, a dusty figure crawled out from beneath the rubble. It was Yang Huanzhi.

"My heavens, that was so close, I nearly lost my life! Big Boss Ling, oh, Big Boss Ling, you cannot blame me for not being loyal enough!"

When he sensed that Wuling Manor had been surrounded, Yang Huanzhi hid his aura at once and curled up without daring to make a sound. Faced with a formation like that, he did not even consider sticking his head out. He was relieved that Ling Feng and the others escaped safely in the end. As for entering the Sea of Miracles, that idea would probably have to be abandoned.

"Well, it has come to this. I guess I will have to head to the Sea of Miracles on my own!"

Yang Huanzhi removed the mask from his face, replaced it with another, and slipped away.

...

Riding the Realm-Piercing Shuttle, Ling Feng fled all the way out of Tianhuang City and continued thousands of li farther. Only after he had completely left the region did he land on a deserted island.

He put away the Realm-Piercing Shuttle and stood at the coast, looking at the vast black sea ahead. A wave of frustration rose in his chest.

Everything had been well within his plans. No one expected that black-robed man to appear out of nowhere.

Although he had already killed that man, he no longer had the Venerable of the Desolate Sea to guide him. Entering the Sea of Miracles suddenly became a question with no answer.

All his effort over this period would be wasted if he could not enter the Sea of Miracles.

Tuoba Yan looked at Ling Feng's back and gently clenched her teeth. She stepped forward and said, "Ling Feng, maybe there is still another way into the Sea of Miracles."

"Yes."

Ling Feng turned to her with a slight smile. "This is not the end. There may be another path. I wonder how that fellow Yang Huanzhi is doing now."

"That guy is sharper than any ghost, you do not need to worry about him."

Tuoba Yan did not like Yang Huanzhi at all, yet she had to admit that the man's survival instinct was exceptional.

"Hehe, that's true!"

Ling Feng thought for a moment, then pulled out a dart shaped like a willow leaf. It gleamed with a faint green light. Anyone could see it had been soaked in poison.

This willow leaf dart had shot at him the moment he boarded the Realm-Piercing Shuttle.

He caught it out of instinct but never tossed it away because he sensed a very familiar aura on it.

The aura belonged to the "Blood-Hand Venom Emperor", Lan Yuhuang.

He examined it carefully and found a small slip of paper tied to the dart.

Ling Feng unfolded it and read the tiny characters. It said:

If you wish to enter the Sea of Miracles, come to Misty Sea Volcano Island one day from now. Do not be late!

Lan Yuhuang.

"This woman! Heh, interesting..."

Ling Feng's lips curved upward. He did not expect her to return to Tianhuang City, much less bring him a piece of good news!

"Woman?"

Hearing Ling Feng praise another woman, Tuoba Yan clenched her teeth again. She snatched the paper and skimmed it, then spoke with a faint hint of jealousy. "Lan Yuhuang, she must be a beauty just from her name!"

"Yes, Miss Lan has a strange temper, but she is indeed a beauty."

Ling Feng nodded with a smile.

"You!"

Several dark lines appeared on Tuoba Yan's head. She shot him a cold sideways glare.

"She is a beauty!" Ling Feng grinned wider. "And she helped us a great deal this time. Saving her back then was not a waste after all!"

Tuoba Yan rolled her eyes. If she kept talking to Ling Feng, she felt she would suffer internal injury from sheer frustration.

After thinking for a while, Ling Feng said, "Whether her message is true or not, I no longer have any other choice. I will head to Misty Sea Volcano Island and see for myself. There might be a surprise waiting."

Tuoba Yan nodded. "Leaving Tianhuang City may not be a bad thing. The Murong Clan's attitude toward you has been strange. You have already offended them completely, yet the Venerable of the Desolate Sea still tried to recruit you and take you to the Sea of Miracles. I cannot shake the feeling that there is a scheme behind all of this."

"Mhmm. Yan'er, you are the only one who can stay this calm."

Ling Feng smiled. Even at a time like this, Tuoba Yan could still analyze everything with a clear mind. As the saintess of the Tiance Clan, she was far more insightful than most women.

But not only her, Ling Feng himself had long sensed that something was off.

He had used two identities to approach the Murong Clan. The moment they realized his soul talent was exceptional, they tried everything they could to draw him in.

Especially when the Venerable of the Desolate Sea suggested marrying Murong Zining to him. That proposal convinced Ling Feng that the Venerable of the Desolate Sea must have another plan hidden away, one that even the other Murong Clan's elders might not know.

There was no way he could trust someone like that when entering the Sea of Miracles.

"No point in wasting time, we should leave now!"

Ling Feng ended his thoughts. He drew the Eradicator of Realms, brought Tuoba Yan with him, and used the Flying-Immortal Sword-Controlling Art to travel at full speed toward Misty Sea Volcano Island.

...

About half a day later, Ling Feng and Tuoba Yan arrived ten li from the island.

"So that is Misty Sea Volcano Island."

Ling Feng looked into the distance. A small island sat quietly upon the sea. Thick mist wrapped around it and hid everything from view. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Tuoba Yan gave a slight sniff of disapproval. "Hey, your Miss Lan really has no bad intentions? Something feels off with this place, it might be a trap to lure you in!"

Ling Feng let out a soft laugh. "I have no grudge with her, and she has no reason to harm me. Besides, I am not someone who can be killed so easily. Still, this place is unusual, those hot fumes can block even my spiritual consciousness!"

His Boundless Vision had become nearly useless under this shroud of mist. That fact alone made Ling Feng grow even more cautious.
