The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1380: Petrifying Gaze! Thousandfold Shadow

Ling Feng entered the Wood Elemental Realm directly. Despicable Donkey was fast asleep inside the palace. After absorbing vast amounts of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, demonic beasts would inevitably fall into a deep slumber so they could refine that energy.

"Hey, Despicable Donkey, wake up for a moment!"

Ling Feng kicked Despicable Donkey on the rear and jolted it awake. Despicable Donkey snapped his eyes open in anger, flapping his ears furiously as he cursed, "Brat, do you not know that disturbing someone's sleep is extremely rude?"

"Help me with something first. You can go back to sleep after that."

Ling Feng smiled faintly. He took out the Yin-Yang Soul Jade and placed it in front of Despicable Donkey with a cheerful grin. "Tell me what secrets are hidden inside this Yin-Yang Soul Jade. We split whatever opportunity is inside it evenly!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Hearing that there were benefits to be gained, Despicable Donkey snorted lightly and forced himself to stay awake. He snatched the Yin Yang Soul Jade and curled his lips. "This broken piece of jade is nothing special on its own. The valuable thing is the spirit core hidden inside it."

"A spirit core?"

Ling Feng looked blank. He had clearly never heard of such a thing.

"Truly ignorant!" Despicable Donkey shot Ling Feng a disdainful look, then puffed up with pride. "But it makes sense that you do not know. That kid Wang Ruquan carried this Yin-Yang Soul Jade around for so many years and never discovered its secret. All he knew was to keep it by his side while cultivating. He had a treasure like a spirit core right under his nose and did not even know how to make use of it. He really was pitifully stupid!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and frowned. "Stop showing off. I know you are well informed. Just tell me what this spirit core actually is!"

"The Yin-Yang Soul Jade is a strange stone from beyond the heavens. It fell from the Immortal Domain. To those people from the Immortal Domain, it is nothing rare. To mortals like us in the lower realms, however, it is a priceless treasure. Ordinary Yin-Yang Soul Jade can indeed strengthen the soul source to some extent, but its effect is probably not even one tenth of this piece. That is because this Yin-Yang Soul Jade has nurtured a spirit core within it."

"Out of ten thousand pieces of Yin-Yang Soul Jade, only one will give birth to a spirit core. You actually managed to run into that one in ten thousand chance, hehe!"

Despicable Donkey let out a smug chuckle. He formed a hoof seal, sending a black inscription into the Yin-Yang Soul Jade. After a short while, he extracted a grain sized pellet from within the jade and grinned. "This is the spirit core. Half for you and half for me!"

As he spoke, Despicable Donkey carefully split the spirit core. He swallowed the slightly larger half with a gulp.

"..."

Ling Feng shook his head with a helpless smile. This donkey had always loved taking advantage of others. He took the remaining half of the spirit core and asked calmly, "After all that talk, you still have not told me what this spirit core actually does."

"It does nothing more than increase the soul source by two or three times. If luck is on this divine beast's side, when this divine beast wakes up, this divine beast will already be a peak Demon Emperor! Wakaka..."

Despicable Donkey burst into loud laughter, then yawned again and glared at Ling Feng. "Brat, if you dare disturb this divine beast's sleep again, this divine beast will bite your head clean off!"

After that, he swished his tail across the ground a few times, flopped down flat, and fell back into a deep sleep.

"So you just fall asleep like that!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes. Is this fella a donkey or a pig?

"Two or three times the soul source..."

Ling Feng pinched the tiny spirit core in his fingers and did not hesitate any longer. Following Despicable Donkey's example, he swallowed it.

In an instant, his entire head burned with heat. Within the sea of mind, it felt as though a terrifying tsunami had erupted.

Then Ling Feng felt a scorching heat in his eyes. As his soul essence source surged and expanded, his Eye of the Emperor finally underwent another evolution.

After reaching the Spiritual Element Realm, Ling Feng had never stopped cultivating The Art of Chaotic Divinity. He continued to condense divine inscriptions each day in the hope of gaining new abilities. However, his progress had clearly slowed.

His Eye of the Emperor seemed to have reached a bottleneck. Even when his cultivation realm advanced, it no longer produced any new divine inscriptions.

At that moment, as Ling Feng's soul source swelled to nearly three times its former strength, his greatest reliance, the Eye of the Emperor, finally responded.

The fourth divine inscription of the Heavenly Dao condensed!

In his right eye, a brand new inscription took shape, floating within the eyeball itself.

"Petrifying Gaze!"

Divine light flashed in Ling Feng's eyes. Wherever his gaze passed, flowers, grass, and trees rapidly turned to stone, as though they had become rows of stone sculptures.

"Not bad!"

Ling Feng slowly dispersed the divine inscription, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

Petrifying Gaze could turn a chosen target to stone. The duration of the petrification ranged from three breaths to three days, depending mainly on the target's strength. As long as the gaze struck its mark, the petrification effect would take hold without regard for cultivation realms and would succeed without fail.

Next, Ling Feng narrowed his left eye. The fourth divine inscription of the Human Dao condensed!

As before, the ability of the Human Dao divine inscription leaned toward support. It was called Thousandfold Shadow. At the instant Thousandfold Shadow was activated, his body would split into thousands of illusionary shadows. At the same time, it released powerful mental fluctuations, making it impossible for opponents to distinguish which figure was the true body.

Without a doubt, this was another divine technique that could be used for both offense and defense.

"The Eye of the Emperor truly has never disappointed me!"

Ling Feng steadied his mind. Just half of a spirit core had brought him such gains. This time, Despicable Donkey had genuinely helped him.

He picked up the Yin-Yang Soul Jade that had been casually tossed aside. On the surface, it looked no different from before, apart from being slightly lighter. However, without the spirit core, the effect of this Yin-Yang Soul Jade would only grow weaker over time, eventually dropping to about one tenth of its original potency.

"Hehe..."

Holding the Yin-Yang Soul Jade in his hand, Ling Feng's eyes rolled as he broke into a grin. "Did you all not want this Yin-Yang Soul Jade so badly? Very well, very well!"

With a smirk, Ling Feng put away the Yin-Yang Soul Jade. He had already begun planning how to squeeze out the remaining value of this item.

Since everyone wanted it, he could simply put it up for auction. The highest bidder would take it!

The most precious spirit core had already been divided between himself and Despicable Donkey. As for the empty shell that remained, whoever wanted it could have it. Ling Feng was always happy to indulge others!

After making up his mind, Ling Feng took out the Blood Dragon Purple Ginseng and the Stone Marrow Flower that he had exchanged for in the Hall of Merit. He began to temper his body and refine his vitality.

All of this was preparation for cultivating the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body Art.

After swallowing the two body refining herbs, a scalding current quickly surged through his body. Ling Feng's face turned crimson, as though heated iron, and white steam rose from his skin.

Enduring the burning sensation within his body, Ling Feng circulated the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body Art. In hardly any time at all, he stepped into the first level of the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body Art and successfully grasped the "Dragon Elephant Divine Strength".
