The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1226: Bridge of Life and Death

After a short rest, the three of them moved on toward the center of Misty Sea Volcano Island.

The pressure grew heavier the higher they climbed. Even Ling Feng felt his strength draining, and it took them four to six full hours of hard effort before they finally reached the summit.

"Phew! The higher we go, the thicker this fog gets. The weight of it grows as well."

Even Ling Feng had to let out a quiet breath. Tuoba Yan and Lan Yuhuang looked even more worn out, especially Tuoba Yan. Her spiritual consciousness far surpassed ordinary cultivators, but her physical body was weaker than others at the same tier.

At that moment, Tuoba Yan was drenched in sweat. Her clothes were entirely soaked, clinging tightly to her graceful figure and perfectly outlining her curvaceous physique, especially her chest...

As Ling Feng caught sight of Tuoba Yan's shapely figure, his gaze momentarily froze in a slight daze.

This woman seemed to have developed even more...

Realizing this, he felt his face warm. Why did I think of her as "more"?

"What are you staring at?"

Tuoba Yan noticed his gaze, bit down lightly, and glared at him. Elemental force flowed over her, forming a soft veil of light that blocked his sight. Annoyance showed on her face, yet a strange hint of satisfaction rose within her.

"Cough!"

Ling Feng coughed and quickly looked away. His eyes landed on Lan Yuhuang instead. Her physical strength was far superior to Tuoba Yan's. As a Human Emperor, she looked a bit out of breath, but not nearly as exhausted. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Lan Yuhuang lifted her gaze toward him and could not hide her surprise. "You are a strange one. Every step here is like carrying a hundred thousand catties, yet you walked all the way up without even breathing heavily. You fatty never fail to amaze me!"

Ling Feng raised a brow. After two rounds of lightning tribulation and his training in the Body Refinement Art, along with Mu Qianxue's divine blood that reshaped his physique, his body strength already rivaled a mid-tier Human Emperor. A bit of pressure like this barely counted as effort.

Lan Yuhuang studied him again. "With your body strength and your soul talent, the Bridge of Life and Death should not trouble you at all."

The Bridge of Life and Death?

Ling Feng walked a few more steps until he stood at the very edge of the summit. When he looked forward, the sight caught him off guard.

The Misty Sea Volcano Island, like any common volcano, had no flat summit, but instead held a deep, sunken hole!

Its hole was so deep it seemed utterly bottomless!

A lone chain bridge stretched across the clouds.

"So this is the Bridge of Life and Death!"

Lan Yuhuang walked up beside him, her voice strained and her expression serious. "This bridge runs from south to north, leading to an abandoned altar at its center. An ancient teleportation array sits on that altar, and it can send us directly to one of the islands inside the Sea of Miracles."

"This has already been confirmed. A cultivator once crossed and arrived at the Sea of Miracles through this very array, yet the rules of space-time on that island were unstable. When he first entered, he was unlucky, and a space-time rift caught him. If he had not cut off his own arm to break free, he would have died there."

"Even so, he survived and brought back the news. Other than the route known by the Murong Clan, there is another way in, and it is this ancient teleportation array!"

A faint smile appeared on Lan Yuhuang's face. "The Murong Clan has monopolized the resources of the Sea of Miracles for years. They pretended to bring in geniuses from the Inner Sea, yet the real benefits always went to the clan itself. This time, the wandering cultivators finally have a chance!"

Ling Feng touched his nose. If everything was as she said, it solved a problem for him as well.

Lan Yuhuang continued, "But to explore the Sea of Miracles together, everyone must reach the altar across the bridge first. The altar only opens on the night of the full moon. Tonight is exactly the full moon."

"Mhmm."

Ling Feng nodded and looked toward the long chain bridge. "Then we should get going."

Lan Yuhuang shook her head slightly and pointed at the many cultivators already waiting on the summit. "Look, some of them arrived long ago yet none of them moved, there is a reason!"

"What reason?" Tuoba Yan asked.

"The time has not come!"

Lan Yuhuang smiled as she answered.

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and studied the bridge. After a long breath, he understood why people called it the Bridge of Life and Death. One step held life. One step held death. A single mistake meant falling into nothingness.

Tuoba Yan stared ahead, and her expression grew equally solemn.

While she could resist disturbances to her mind, the crushing weight of a million catties would surely destroy her.

Ling Feng placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Do not worry, I am here!"

Tuoba Yan bit down lightly and steadied herself.

With Ling Feng by her side, even the worst-case scenario still had a solution, as he could hide her in the Five Elements Heavenly Palace if necessary. However, revealing the Five Elements Heavenly Palace in the presence of others was simply out of the question.

Not far away, the Black Widow had already reached the summit. She cast a cold, threatening glance at them before immediately turning to flirt with another group of men.

Her range of taste was impressive, and she entertained all shapes and sizes. Yet, every man backed away the moment he realized who she was.

As for the saying, "To die in a beauty's arms is a death worth having," that was purely nonsense invented by those who knew they wouldn't die. When facing certain death, a man's self-control is absolutely stronger than anyone imagines.

Time passed slowly.

At last, the moment arrived!
