The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1283: Breakthrough to King-tier

Inside the training chamber.

Ling Feng sat cross-legged, following the core method of the Sacred Mystical-Heaven Art, he circulated elemental force through his body. Several streams of elemental qi flowed like great dragons and gathered as a sea within him. His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Spiritual Element Realm, and he needed only a final push to breakthrough to the king-tier.

He thought back to the Sea of Miracles. He had been beaten half to death by the Heaven-Patrolling Angels, yet that beating allowed him to sense the barrier of the next realm. Later, the black-robed Senior guided him, and he refined the Heaven-Patrolling fire poison. His Devouring Flame advanced to the fourth-tier, and the realm barrier inside him had already crumbled by more than half.

Ling Feng lifted his palm. A round medicinal pill rested on it. It was the Ninefold Profound Heavenly Spirit Pill.

"I should be able to break through to the king-tier in one attempt with this pill." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

He steadied his thoughts and placed the medicinal pill into his mouth. The pill slid down his throat and dissolved inside him. Its pure spiritual power spread through every bone and limb. One surge of power sank and gathered in the dantian Qihai acupoint while another rose into the sea of mind and refined his soul essence source.

"What powerful energy!"

Ling Feng pupils contracted. This pill was meant for Human Emperor experts to strengthen their cultivation and spiritual consciousness. He was only in the Spiritual Element Realm and was taking a pill meant for an entire major realm above his own.

An ordinary cultivator of his realm would never withstand it. Instead of gaining strength, the body would explode the moment the pill was consumed.

However, Ling Feng's situation was different. The Eight Desolations Body Refinement Art had tempered his body to an extreme, and he had survived several lightning tribulations. His physical strength was already comparable to a Human Emperor.

Besides, his spiritual consciousness was also far from ordinary. He relied on the Eye of Plunder to seize the soul essence source of others and strengthen himself. He later cultivated the Soul Splitting Art and possessed spiritual consciousness at the emperor level.

With both factors combined, he still struggled under the overwhelming tide of the pill's power, but he endured it with unyielding will.

"Mmm!"

A strained sound escaped his throat. The medicinal strength kept crashing into his bones and limbs. Sweat soaked his entire body, and near the end, even faint traces of blood seeped from his pores.

This was a battle between body and will. From the day he stepped onto the path of martial arts, Ling Feng had endured countless experiences that felt worse than death. The Qi-Refining Primordial Locks alone had nearly torn him apart multiple times. This pain was nothing to him.

Two hours passed!

Four hours passed!

...

Time slipped by. He remained in seclusion for three full days.

During this period, the island master's wife and her daughter came to visit every day. They learned he was in seclusion, so they stationed people nearby to prevent anyone from causing disturbances.

No one expected that Ling Feng would remain inside for three entire days.

Just then, at that moment!

The courtyard where Ling Feng cultivated rumbled. Clouds rolled across the sky. It seemed as if the heavens for hundreds of li, or even thousands and tens of thousands of li, gathered layers of gloomy clouds that swept in from every direction!

In an instant, Hailong Island became shrouded in darkness without a trace of sunlight!

"Uh... What is happening?"

The residents of Hailong Island grew uneasy. The weather had become gloomy for days, and it kept becoming stranger.

In the courtyard, Tuoba Yan stood abruptly. She glanced at the sky, then at the room where Ling Feng cultivated. Her eyelids twitched.

Is he about to undergo another tribulation?

Ordinary cultivators faced their first lightning tribulation only when advancing from Human Emperor to Great Emperor. Ling Feng however was not ordinary, tribulations followed him like daily meals!

She calmed slightly when she noticed the clouds contained no lightning. It was not a lightning tribulation. This was the celestial phenomenon created by Ling Feng's breakthrough.

What kind of phenomenon would it be this time?

Throughout the island master's residence, the disciples and elders sensed the terrifying aura on the brink of breaking through!

"It is Mr. Ling!"

Long Shanshan's eyes brightened as she looked toward her mother.

"It must be him."

The Island Master's wife nodded. "His realm is not high, yet he can face a Human Emperor. Once he breaks through, his strength will rise even further. He is truly a heaven-gifted talent! It is a pity he is not a disciple of Hailong Island!"

Long Shanshan clenched her fists. She had lowered herself completely, yet Ling Feng never once looked at her beauty.

Perhaps her mother was right, a man like him would never be swayed by appearances. Her dream of marrying a hero might remain only a dream.

The Island Master's wife noticed the disappointment on her daughter's face. She gently touched Long Shanshan's head and smiled. "Fate cannot be forced. Come, let us witness Mr. Ling's advancement to the king-tier!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In an instant, every accomplished cultivator around Hailong Island looked toward the darkened sky. Only a peerless expert could cause such a change in the heavens!

Clang!

A sharp sound suddenly pierced the sky. A sword cry soared upward. A powerful sword will surged forth with a tide of a king's aura that spread across the clouds.

The thousands of miles of dark clouds twisted together and formed a colossal sword that circled in the air. It looked ready to cut open the heavens and sweep across the vast world.

"Sword will!"

Countless people cried out in shock. To stir such terrifying sword will during a breakthrough meant the person was an exceptional swordsman.

Hum! Hum!

A disciple of Hailong Island felt his long sword tremble inside its sheath. He jumped in alarm.

"What... What is going on?"

He pressed the sword with his other hand, but the sword shook even more violently. Many sword-wielding disciples around him experienced the same. Their swords were losing control as if they wanted to break free.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swords left their sheaths and turned into streaks of light that flew toward the colossal sword formed by the clouds.

It was not only the disciples near the courtyard. Every sword cultivator on Hailong Island found their swords pulled upward against their will.

In an instant, the sky was filled with swords. Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands...

They danced around the collosal sword like a legion of flying dragons. The sight of countless swords soaring in unison was unmatched in its grandeur.

The pressure of the sword will swept across the island. Even ancient swords buried deep under the ground or at the bottom of the sea shattered the earth and water that covered them and rose into the air to join the storm of swords!

"Heavens! What is happening?"

"Madness! Madness! The swords have gone mad!"

"..."

Everyone stared at their empty sheaths and then at the breathtaking scene above. Their legs trembled. Many felt the urge to kneel and worship.

Has the Sword God descended upon the world?
