The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1270: Heaven-Patrolling Fire Poison

With the Heaven-Patrolling Angel dead, the crisis finally ended. Yet Heavenly Pool Island continued to sink, and the process could no longer be reversed.

Ling Feng and the group immediately flew toward the city wall. Lou Qianzhong and Lin Mu were struggling to hold back the surging waves in order to protect the terrified people on the island.

When they saw Ling Feng return, relief filled Lin Mu and Lou Qianzhong. Lin Mu spoke with barely contained excitement.

"Brother Ling, you dealt with that monster?"

"Mhmm."

Ling Feng was dangerously weak. His body had been burned by the Heaven-Patrolling Heavenly Fire, and the Heaven-Patrolling Angel had left him heavily wounded. Half his life seemed drained away. Exhaustion pressed down on him and he wanted nothing more than to fall asleep on the spot.

"The portal that the Heaven-Patrolling Angel opened is about to close. Brother Ling, how do you plan to evacuate these ordinary people?"

Lin Mu looked at the trembling people below and let out a soft sigh. Their bodies were too fragile. Even if they entered the passage, the turbulent space-time currents inside might tear them apart.

"I have a way."

Ling Feng drew a steady breath and forced his mind to remain clear. He summoned the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.

"This treasure holds a world of its own. I can keep them inside for now."

Having survived life-and-death battles together, Ling Feng had developed trust in Lin Mu and the others. That was the only reason he dared to reveal the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.

"A world of its own?"

Lin Mu's eyelids twitched as disbelief washed over him. Lou Qianzhong stared blankly. A treasure like this in the hands of someone at the Spiritual Element Realm was unimaginable!

"There is no time to explain."

Ling Feng lifted the Five Elements Heavenly Palace and addressed the people. "I will send all of you into another space. Stay there for now, and once we leave this realm, I will release you. From then on, you will be free."

"Free!"

The word made the people tremble. They had been treated as sacrifices and locked away like animals. Freedom felt more precious than anything they could imagine!

"Gods! You must be gods who save the desperate!"

The survivors fell to their knees. Gratitude overflowed in waves that could not be expressed even with countless bows.

Ling Feng shook his head. Mortals worshipped gods, unaware that the so-called gods were the ones who had thrown them into this hell in the first place.

He lifted his hand and activated the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. A purple barrier descended, sweeping up more than a thousand people and relocating them into the Wood Elemental Realm. Ling Feng glanced toward the sky. The space-time portal had already begun to shrink.

"We leave first!"

Ling Feng's body swayed. He had completely run out of strength.

"Brother Ling!"

Lin Mu rushed to support him. Ling Feng forced a faint smile, and with Lin Mu's help, the group entered the space-time portal.

...

Half an incense stick later, they emerged on the other side. Clear air and a gentle sea breeze greeted them. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"This feels incredible!"

Yang Huanzhi inhaled deeply and stretched, overwhelmed with relief. He had gained nothing on this trip, but he had survived. Considering even the Venerable of the Desolate Sea had perished in the Sea of Miracles, he felt immense gratitude for still being alive.

Ling Feng landed and surveyed their surroundings. They were on a deserted island somewhere in the Inner Sea of the Tianlan Sea Region. Though empty, it was spacious enough.

"I am alive!"

Lou Qianzhong shouted in excitement. His body was covered in injuries, but nothing mattered more than survival.

Lan Yuhuang and Tuoba Yan smiled as well. They had never imagined that breathing fresh air again could feel this wonderful.

Ling Feng then released the people of Heavenly Pool Island from the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. Nearly two thousand people appeared at once, completely filling the island.

"A miracle! A true miracle!"

The survivors looked up at the bright sky. Their bodies trembled as they celebrated. None of them had ever believed they would live to see the outside world.

"From today on, you are no longer sacrifices, you no longer need to wait for death."

Ling Feng faced the crowd and spoke slowly. "Your fate will rest in your own hands!"

"Thank the heavens. Thank the gods!"

The people knelt toward Ling Feng, tears flowing freely.

Ling Feng stepped forward and helped a few elders to their feet. "Instead of placing your hopes in gods, rely on yourselves. You may have escaped the Sea of Miracles, but survival will still be difficult. I can show you a path."

"God, please guide us!"

An elder looked back at the remaining people. Even finding food on this deserted island would be a struggle.

"This is Brother Yang Huanzhi from Heaven's Illusion Island. He can take all of you there. You will be safe."

Ling Feng turned to Yang Huanzhi. "It should be possible right, Brother Yang?"

"Of course." Yang Huanzhi nodded quickly. "Heaven's Illusion Island is large. Taking in a thousand people is not a problem."

"Good. I leave them in your care!"

Just as Ling Feng finished speaking, pain flashed across his face. A thin black aura rose from his body.

"Big Boss Ling, what's happening to you?"

Yang Huanzhi was shocked. He had sensed something was wrong earlier, but Ling Feng had endured it the entire time.

"It must be the Heaven-Patrolling Angel's Heavenly Fire source!"

Sweat dripped from Ling Feng's forehead. He gritted his teeth. "I underestimated that flame. The fire poison has reached my heart. It will not kill me, but the pain is unbearable."

When he was trapped by the Heaven-Patrolling Heavenly Fire, he had wrapped himself in the Devouring Flame and forced his way out. It appeared safe, yet the fire poison had slipped inside without him noticing.

The fire poison was vicious beyond belief. Even Ling Feng had no solution.

A physician could not heal himself. His medical skill was unmatched, but he was helpless when the victim was his own body.

The Heaven-Patrolling Heavenly Fire did not belong to the lower world at all!

Lin Mu and the others exchanged glances and sighed. They suspected that Ling Feng carried mysteries beyond imagination, but since he chose to keep silent, they did not pry.

The people of Heavenly Pool Island were grateful to have a future, yet seeing Ling Feng in agony filled them with worry.

"Fatty, you... are you alright?" Lan Yuhuang bit her lip and stepped closer.

"I will be fine."

Ling Feng forced a smile. His voice was calm, but the fire poison gnawing at his heart sent waves of agony through him until his body trembled.

"You are pushing yourself again, you always push yourself!"

Tuoba Yan understood Ling Feng's character too well. Tears gathered in her eyes as she watched him suffer.

"I really am... f-fine..."

Sweat streamed down his face. Before he could finish speaking, the pain overwhelmed him and he lost consciousness.

In the haze, Ling Feng felt his spirit drifting. A blurred figure appeared. When he managed to focus, he realized it was the mysterious black-robed man he had met on Tianluo Island!
