The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1381: Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength

Time flew by. A full day passed in the blink of an eye.

"Roar!"

Ling Feng slowly opened his eyes and let out a low roar. Vast blood energy surged outward, carrying an overwhelming pressure that filled the entire Wood Elemental Realm.

It was fortunate that Ling Feng had chosen to cultivate within the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. Otherwise, once that terrifying aura swept outward, it would certainly have alarmed every disciple within the Earth Emperor Pool.

Crack crack crack.

He clenched his fist. Crisp sounds rang out from deep within his joints as savage power coursed through every inch of his flesh.

"What terrifying strength!"

Ling Feng threw a punch, and the void rumbled in response. After refining the Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength, even without activating the transformation state of the Eight Desolations Body Refinement Art, the sheer power of his blows was almost several degrees stronger than when he used the Sky Breaking Transformation.

"Such strength!"

Wild joy appeared on Ling Feng's face. "Such a powerful body refinement art was actually left in the outer sect and only costs thirty thousand contribution points. What a bargain! What an incredible bargain! Hahaha!"

Ling Feng burst into loud laughter. How could he have known that although the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Art was formidable, within the entire Dongling Immortal Pool there was probably no second person besides him who could cultivate it successfully.

Time slipped away during cultivation.

At last, on the tenth day, Ling Feng flew out from the Five Elements Heavenly Palace and strode toward the sky-tier cultivation ground.

According to the rules within the Earth Emperor Pool, once the initial hour of competition ended, no disciple would leave the cultivation ground that they had secured. Almost every disciple seized every possible moment of these ten days to seek greater breakthroughs.

Ling Feng's approach, however, clearly brought an oppressive sense of pressure to those within the sky-tier cultivation ground.

"Who is it?"

Xu Xinghe was the first to open his eyes. Among the group, his cultivation was the highest, and he was also the most vigilant.

After cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Art, the powerful vitality radiating from Ling Feng's body created an invisible pressure that felt much like the presence of a primordial ferocious beast.

This was also because he was still in the early stages of cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Art and could not yet properly conceal that aura.

"Senior Brother Xu, can you not even recognize my aura anymore?"

Ling Feng smiled casually. The few people who had been sitting in meditation within the sky-tier cultivation ground all woke while startled.

"Junior Brother Ling!"

"Ling... Ling Feng!"

"Arrogant jerk!"

Li Fei, Princess Qian Ling, Feng Ling, Yan Guying, and Xu Xinghe all stared at Ling Feng as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes wide with shock.

"You... you're alive?"

Feng Ling looked at Ling Feng in disbelief and circled around him. Seeing that Ling Feng was completely intact, without even a single hair missing, she cried out, "Did you not get shredded into pieces by the rampaging spiritual power within the spiritual barrier?"

Xu Xinghe also stared in astonishment. It had been he who had firmly concluded that Ling Feng was dead. Now that Ling Feng had returned in one piece, his old face flushed with embarrassment as he cursed inwardly. What kind of freak is this fellow, exactly?

"Hehe."

Ling Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose and shook his head with a smile. "At first, I thought I was as good as dead too. My luck was not bad. I did not die. I even turned misfortune into a blessing and absorbed some of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the spiritual barrier. I gained a breakthrough because of it."

As he spoke, Ling Feng released the aura of the seventh level of the Spiritual Sea Realm. The others looked at one another in silence. This fellow's luck was simply outrageous.

"No matter what, it is great that you are safe, Junior Brother Ling!"

Yan Guying was visibly excited. He stepped forward, grasped Ling Feng's shoulder, and laughed heartily.

"Yes, it is good that Junior Brother Ling is all right."

Li Fei also showed a faint smile. She had truly been sorrowful for quite some time when she thought Ling Feng had already died.

"Hmph. The good die young, while disasters live long. This arrogant jerk is obviously a disaster!"

Feng Ling snorted. Although she felt some relief in her heart, every word that came out of her mouth was barbed.

Ling Feng did not bother to argue with her. He only smiled faintly and said, "As for the Great Emperor Spiritual Domain, strictly speaking, I did not truly enter its depths. I just wandered around the outer area for a while. When I felt the time was about right, I came back to join everyone."

"To gain such a breakthrough is already a good deal for you, Junior Brother Ling."

Xu Xinghe examined Ling Feng deeply, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "What is going on with this powerful vitality in your body? Judging solely by the strength of your vitality, although you are still below Great Emperor level experts, you can already rival some of the weaker Young Emperors."

Princess Qian Ling puffed out her cheeks and muttered resentfully, "Freak!"

Li Fei and the others also revealed strange looks. That vitality was faintly exerting pressure on them!

"Oh, I had nothing better to do these past few days, so I cultivated another technique called the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Art. It is probably because I awakened the Dragon Elephant Divine Strength."

"D-Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body Art!"

Xu Xinghe jumped to his feet the moment he heard this. "Junior Brother Ling, don't joke around! How could that art possibly be cultivated successfully?"

Li Fei and Feng Ling exchanged glances, both showing traces of astonishment. Li Fei asked again, "Junior Brother Ling, are you talking about the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Art? The volume kept in the outer sect Scripture Depository Hall?"

"Yes. Uh..."

Ling Feng pursed his lips and asked in confusion, "What is wrong with that? Is there something strange about it?"

The corner of Xu Xinghe's mouth twitched. "Junior Brother Ling, do you know that the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Art is a sacred tier body refinement art? It was originally placed in the inner sect and priced at five hundred thousand contribution points!"

"Five hundred thousand?"

Ling Feng thought for a moment. "No. Was it not thirty thousand?"

"That is because for several hundred years, not a single person in the Dongling Immortal Pool inner sect managed to cultivate this art successfully. In the end, the price of this art was lowered again and again until it was even relegated to the outer sect. Even now, when it only costs thirty thousand contribution points, no one is willing to buy this body refinement art that rivals sacred-tier arts. The reason is simple. This is an art that cannot be cultivated at all!"

"Cannot be cultivated?"

Ling Feng blinked. "No way. I found it quite easy. I... cough... I entered the beginner stage in a few days."

Feeling the gazes that looked at him as though he were a monster, Ling Feng quietly changed one day into a few days.

"..."

Silence fell over the cultivation ground.

Monster...

Freak...

Everyone stared at Ling Feng for a long time with the look one might use on some strange anomaly, as though they wanted to take him apart and see what sort of structure he was made of.

After a long while, Xu Xinghe finally broke the silence. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Junior Brother Ling, do you know that there are two major prerequisites for cultivating this art?"

"Uh... It does not seem to be written in the manual."

Ling Feng answered calmly.

"That is because if it were written clearly in the manual, who would still be foolish enough to buy it?"

Xu Xinghe complained inwardly, then continued aloud, "Although it is not written, within the inner sect it is already a secret known to most people."

Xu Xinghe raised two fingers and said slowly, "The prerequisites for cultivating this body refinement art are as follows. First, one must open ninety-nine meridian gates. Second, one must undergo lightning tribulation body tempering!"

After saying this, Xu Xinghe fixed Ling Feng with an intense stare and asked in a deep voice, "So, Junior Brother Ling, when you were in the Pulse Formation Realm, how many meridian gates did you exactly open?"
