The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1554: Helpless

On top of a palace that had barely avoided collapsing stood a figure dressed in bright red wedding robes, wearing a phoenix crown. Her autumn-like eyes were filled with tears as she stared in Ling Feng's direction, tears rolling down her cheeks one after another.

While everyone else was fleeing in panic, she did not leave.

Even though Ling Feng had already become a fierce beast, he was still Ling Feng.

The moment Ling Feng appeared before her like a miracle and rescued her from Yan Jinghong, she had already decided that in this life, she would belong to no one else but him.

"Mr. Ling, I don't believe you will become a cruel monster. Wake up. Please wake up. Please come back to your senses!"

She ignored everything and flew straight toward Ling Feng. Crystal tears streamed behind her like a curtain of pearls, forming a tragic and beautiful arc across the sky as she rushed toward him.

Sensing a living presence approaching, the giant ape that Ling Feng had become immediately roared toward the sky and grabbed forward with a massive hand, instantly seizing Yue Yunlan in his palm.

Crack!

A terrifying force tightened around her. Yue Yunlan felt as if her body was about to be crushed into pieces and she coughed up a mouthful of blood. Yet her sorrowful eyes still stared at Ling Feng as she continued calling out to him, hoping he would wake up.

"Miss!"

Qiao Qiao crawled out from a pile of ruins. Her calf had been crushed by a falling beam when the palace collapsed, and she could not even stand. When she saw Yue Yunlan captured in the giant ape's hand, she let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"Miss! Miss! Why are you so foolish!"

Qiao Qiao desperately crawled forward, crying and screaming, but she could do nothing.

In front of that enormous monster that Ling Feng had become, she was as small as an ant.

"Ling Feng, you brat!"

Inside the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, the Despicable Donkey sensed Ling Feng's mutation and frowned deeply.

"Damn it, I told you long ago that the demonic miasma wasn't something you could just absorb whenever you wanted. But you kept absorbing batch after batch. Now you see the consequences!"

The Despicable Donkey paced back and forth anxiously, completely at a loss. If it went outside now, Ling Feng would probably instantly kill it as a target.

"Despicable Donkey, think of something. Hurry and make Master change back!"

Zifeng was also extremely anxious. He did not want to see Ling Feng become a monster that only knew how to kill.

"Think of something? What can I possibly think of? This divine beast does not cultivate the soul path. If that old monster were here, maybe there would be a way, but what can I do?"

The Despicable Donkey looked dejected. "If there were a way, I would have used it already. His self consciousness has sunk deep into the sea of mind. From what I see, Ling Feng is doomed this time."

"Bah. And you still call yourself a divine beast."

Zifeng glared at the Despicable Donkey and began trying to communicate with Ling Feng's spiritual consciousness again, shouting loudly, "Master! Master! Wake up! Sister Yunlan is about to be killed by you!"

"It's useless. Haven't you noticed that the spiritual connection between him and us has almost completely been cut off?"

The Despicable Donkey sighed. He did not want to see Ling Feng like this either, but at this moment, he truly had no solution.

Because of Ling Feng's mutation, even the Five Elements Heavenly Palace was being affected. Originally the palace was calm and peaceful, but now due to Ling Feng's mental state, the atmosphere had become oppressive. A faint malevolent aura began spreading throughout the palace.

The martial artists who were cultivating and absorbing spiritual energy to recover their strength gradually woke up after sensing the malevolent aura.

If they accidentally absorbed that aura, they might fall into madness.

"Um, Lord Divine Donkey."

Leng Jianfeng frowned and looked up at the Despicable Donkey. "May I ask why a malevolent aura suddenly appeared inside the Five Elements Heavenly Palace?"

"Yes, it's fortunate I stopped cultivating in time, otherwise it would have been dangerous."

Another mentor from Tianwei Academy nodded. They had stayed in the Five Elements Heavenly Palace for quite some time and had never encountered such a situation before.

Tong Chengtai's expression turned serious as he said slowly, "A magical treasure of this level is connected to its master's spiritual consciousness. If something abnormal happens to the treasure, then the root of the problem must lie with the master."

"What?"

Su Qingxuan's pupils shrank. "Could it be that Ling Feng is in trouble?"

"The sect leader is in trouble?"

Su Hongxiu immediately jumped to her feet. "No. The sect leader will be fine."

A wave of unease spread through the crowd. Without Ling Feng, many of them would have died long ago. Now that they heard Ling Feng was in danger, they were naturally extremely worried.

"Little friend Ling Feng..."

Yue Zhonglian took a deep breath. At this moment, which concerned the life and death of the Tianbai Empire, he, the sect leader of the Divine Guardian Sect, could do absolutely nothing.

"Sir Demon Emperor."

Yue Zhonglian gritted his teeth and looked at the Despicable Donkey. "Could you tell us what is happening outside?"

As soon as he said this, everyone turned toward the Despicable Donkey and began asking, even pleading.

"Fine. If you want to see, then I will show you."

The Despicable Donkey sighed and waved its hand, activating a luminous barrier in the center of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. Through the light screen, everyone clearly saw a massive creature standing in the middle of ruins.

Only from some distant buildings could they vaguely recognize that this place used to be the imperial city.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt their scalps go numb. Deng Yongshi even jumped up and shouted, "How did this happen? When did this giant ape appear? Where is Ling Feng? Is Ling Feng fighting this giant ape?"

"If he were fighting the giant ape, that would actually be simple. The problem is that this giant ape is Ling Feng himself."

The Despicable Donkey sighed and briefly explained how Ling Feng absorbed the demonic miasma from their bodies, and how Yan Jinghong later used demonic blood to activate a curse that pushed Ling Feng into a berserk state.

"No way... then does that mean the sect leader will..."

Luo Jianying clenched his fists. There was nothing they could do except sigh. They could only remain inside the Five Elements Heavenly Palace and watch helplessly.

"He did it to save us. If Ling Feng had ignored us, he would not have ended up like this."

"If I had known it would harm Elder Ling Feng, I would rather have died!"

"This was all Yan Jinghong's trap. We became accomplices without even knowing it."

One after another, the martial artists lowered their heads and sighed.

"That's enough. That brat is just that kind of person. Even if he knew the risk, he would still have saved you. That was his choice. You could not have changed it."

The Despicable Donkey shouted loudly and glared at them. "Instead of regretting it now, you might as well try using your spiritual power to communicate with Ling Feng's mind. He is still barely holding onto a trace of consciousness. Maybe there is still a chance."
