The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1263: Vessel

"This guy... is he even human anymore!?"

Lou Qianzhong's eyelids twitched violently as he cursed aloud.

"In a sense, he isn't human," Lin Mu said gravely. "I once heard from my master that apart from mortals, there exist divine races between heaven and earth. Just now, Brother Ling said this man belonged to the Heaven-Patrolling clan. That might be one of the divine races."

Though Lin Mu came from the Dongling Immortal Pool, his experience was still limited. He didn't yet understand what the Heaven-Patrolling clan truly represented. If he did, despair might have already consumed him.

The giant ape that Ling Feng had transformed into showed a furious expression. Facing the Heaven-Patrolling Angel before him, he felt for the first time a sense of helplessness.

Even with his cultivation soaring through the Hourglass of Time, even after countless fortuitous encounters and awakening the Sword Soul Xiao Bai, the gap between him and this Heaven-Patrolling Angel had not lessened in the slightest.

"Haha! Lord Tianzun's divine power surpasses all comprehension! How could lowly mortals like you possibly understand?"

The Venerable of the Desolate Sea steadied himself and landed beside the Heaven-Patrolling Angel, sneering at Ling Feng and his group.

With the power of a Heaven-Patrolling Angel, crushing Ling Feng and the rest would be as effortless as stepping on ants.

"Excellent. You speak the truth! Hahaha!"

Between heaven and earth, the Heaven-Patrolling Angel's laughter echoed. "That foolish Heavenly Pool Island Master, did it truly think I wouldn't notice its petty tricks hidden among the sacrificial offerings? It's a pity it died too quickly. Otherwise, if it saw this scene, it'd probably die of rage all over again!"

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel's eyes flashed sharply as his gaze returned to Ling Feng. He had lost all interest in playing further.

At that moment, Lin Mu's Treasure of Heaven and Earth finally repelled Murong Zining's black lotus. The black curtain shattered. Lin Mu, Lou Qianzhong, and the others quickly flew to Ling Feng's side. The two groups now faced each other.

Though Ling Feng's side had more people, that one Heaven-Patrolling Angel alone could probably annihilate them all. Not to mention, standing beside him was the Venerable of the Desolate Sea, whose strength had reached the peak of the Human Emperor.

"Brother Ling, what do we do now?"

Lin Mu's mind was in chaos, unable to think of any plan. Lou Qianzhong's brows were tightly furrowed as he gripped his iron rod, his palms drenched in sweat.

"Brother Lin, I have a plan. Whether it works or not depends on how well we can coordinate."

Ling Feng took a deep breath and sent his voice into Lin Mu's mind. Lin Mu's pupils shrank, then he heard Ling Feng again.

"Brother Lin, success or failure comes down to this. I'll leave my life in your hands."

Lin Mu gritted his teeth and nodded. Ling Feng's plan was insane, but facing such an enemy, madness was their only option.

"Hmph. No matter how they struggle, ants remain ants."

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel stood tall, tilting his head slightly upward toward the sky. His tone was calm. "Time is almost up. Boy of the Jiuli Divine Clan, you should feel honored. You are about to become my vessel. For a lowly divine clan like yours, to serve as the body of a noble Heaven-Patrolling clan it's the greatest fortune you'll ever have."

"Fortune my ass!"

Ling Feng roared a curse and charged straight at the Heaven-Patrolling Angel.

"Master, allow me to handle this one," said the Venerable of the Desolate Sea with a cold smile, volunteering to fight.

"Stand down!"

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel's robe stirred without wind. His figure flickered and in an instant, he appeared before Ling Feng.

Compared to Ling Feng's twenty zhang tall body, the Heaven-Patrolling Angel looked almost insignificant. Yet with one casual kick, he sent Ling Feng's giant ape form crashing into the ground.

Boom!

The earth split apart inch by inch. Ling Feng's left shoulder blade shattered completely, blood pouring down like rain.

"Ling Feng!(Fatty!)"

"Big Boss Ling!"

Tuoba Yan and the others trembled. Since the day they'd met Ling Feng, they had never seen him in such a miserable state.

This wasn't a fight between equals. It was heaven against earth, clouds against mud. The Heaven-Patrolling Angel's power was beyond terrifying.

"Damn it!"

Lou Qianzhong gripped his iron rod so tightly his knuckles turned white, ready to charge, but a figure blocked his path.

"Lou Qianzhong, if you want to die, there'll be plenty of chances. But for now, don't disturb Lord Tianzun's amusement."

The Venerable of the Desolate Sea waved his hand, sending Lou Qianzhong flying back. With his peak Human Emperor strength, killing Lou Qianzhong would take no effort at all.

"Fuck!"

Lou Qianzhong cursed through gritted teeth. "Murong old man! You really think you'll end up any better? The Heavenly Pool Island Master is your best example!"

"Hmph. That monster cannot be compared with me."

The Venerable of the Desolate Sea glared coldly at him. "If you wish to live a little longer, then shut your filthy mouth!"

Lou Qianzhong trembled with rage but dared not provoke him further.

None of them noticed that Lin Mu had quietly retreated behind the group, clutching a talisman in his trembling hand.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Up! Down!

Again and again!

Ling Feng's huge body had become a burden. The Heaven-Patrolling Angel treated him like a ball, kicking him repeatedly. After more than a dozen blows, Ling Feng's body was covered in holes, blood streaming from every wound. He could no longer rise.

Fortunately, the Heaven-Patrolling Angel intended to seize his body, so he hadn't dealt a killing blow. Otherwise, even ten lives wouldn't have been enough to save Ling Feng.

"Fuck! If this divine beast is going to die, at least make it quick! Aaaagh!"

Inside Ling Feng, Despicable Donkey convulsed in pain. In their beast-soul fusion state, every strike that landed on Ling Feng made him feel three parts of the pain, but the Despicable Donkey endured seven!

At that moment, though Ling Feng looked to be the one suffering, the donkey was truly the one being tortured.

"Despicable Donkey, hang in there."

Ling Feng's own pain was unbearable. The power of his Chaotic True Form was fading fast, and the beast-soul fusion state was nearly collapsing.

"Hmm... this body's resilience isn't bad. To withstand sixteen of my kicks already... impressive."

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel nodded in satisfaction. He grabbed Ling Feng by the neck.

That towering twenty-zhang body hung limply in his grasp, blood gushing down and staining the ground crimson.

"It seems you can no longer resist. The time has come to take your body."

This Heaven-Patrolling Angel had devoured countless beings. Using the world's rules of the Sea of Miracles, he had gained strength unique to this realm. Though he could not leave this world with his current body, even a partial loss of strength was worth it if he could seize Ling Feng's vessel.

His gaze locked onto Ling Feng. The oppressive force he released made even the Venerable of the Desolate Sea feel as if he couldn't move. As for Ling Feng, half-dead as he was, resistance was impossible.
