The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1596: Extraterrestrial Frost Crystal

Before long, Fairy Qingping caught up to Ling Feng, hurrying after him as she called out, "Wait for me, wait!"

"Didn't you say you couldn't walk anymore?"

Ling Feng suddenly stopped and shot her an annoyed look. Thinking about it, half the trouble came from her insistence on running off to find Elder Cang Yue.

"I..."

Fairy Qingping's face flushed slightly. "I'm fine now, aren't I!"

Ling Feng let out a cold laugh and rolled his eyes.

"Hey, you're a man. Can't you be a little less petty?" She pouted. "At worst, I'll apologize, alright?"

"Cut it out." Ling Feng snorted. "If you act on your own again, don't follow me. I'm not dealing with that."

"Okay..." She pressed her lips together and muttered, "It won't happen again."

"You're still thinking about a next time?" Ling Feng felt his irritation flare up again. He almost regretted not leaving her behind back then.

"No, no!" Fairy Qingping quickly swore, then frowned slightly and added in a softer voice, "Ling Feng, my leg hurts again..."

For some reason, she found herself acting a little spoiled in front of him. She liked this relaxed feeling. Around the Unrivaled Young Emperor, she always had to remain distant and aloof, like someone untouched by the mortal world.

"Hmph."

Ling Feng shot her a look, then crouched down halfway with a sigh. "Fine. Get on."

"Heehee!"

Her face lit up instantly. Without hesitation, she jumped onto his back as if she had done it many times before.

Perhaps even she had not realized it herself. What she once thought was affection for the Unrivaled Young Emperor had never really been love. It was admiration, respect, nothing more.

...

Not long after, the two of them and the donkey approached the edge of the canyon again. Fairy Qingping's heart climbed into her throat.

The guards had increased to a hundred, each spaced more than a hundred meters apart, all on high alert.

Ling Feng frowned.

In this situation, even if he used the Devouring Flame Domain, he would not be able to wipe them out instantly. The domain's range was not that large. It was devastating when enemies gathered together, but now they were spread out while still covering the entire area. If he attacked rashly, he might kill a few, but he would expose himself immediately.

After what happened earlier, they would not fight him head-on. They would report straight to the elders below. If that happened, he would have no chance of entering the vein.

"Ling Feng, what do we do this time?" Fairy Qingping asked in a low voice.

Ling Feng's brows furrowed. Someone in the Blood Shadow Alliance clearly had a brain. They had realized he possessed power beyond the rules of the Xuanling Continent and had adjusted their strategy.

At most, his Devouring Flame Domain could kill around ten of them under these conditions.

That was nowhere near enough.

Elder Cang Yue's interference had turned things into a real problem.

Ling Feng felt a surge of irritation. He almost wanted to go back and slap that old woman a few more times, but anger would not solve anything now.

"This won't be easy. They're too cautious, and they're clearly guarding against my Devouring Flame Domain. If I can't wipe them out quickly, I'll be the one in danger."

His expression turned serious. The enemy also had a flying demonic beast. If those who could fly engaged him, he might not even have a chance to escape.

Handling things alone would have been manageable, but with Fairy Qingping at his side, his speed was reduced, and he had more to worry about.

"There might still be a way."

Fairy Qingping bit her lip and spoke firmly, "They're only wary of you. If you hold back and let me draw them out, once they gather together, you can eliminate them all at once."

"No."

Ling Feng rejected the idea immediately. "With your condition, going out there is no different from asking to die."

"Listen to me. I've only been a burden this whole time. I don't want to keep being one. I want to help too."

The Despicable Donkey could not help but cut in, "That's not helping. That's throwing your life away."

Ling Feng's gaze suddenly shifted to the donkey, and a sly smile appeared. "Heh. If you go instead, it should work just fine."

"Don't even think about it!"

The donkey instantly backed away. "This divine beast still wants to live a few more years!"

"Relax. You're tough. You won't die. I'll step in quickly to save you," Ling Feng coaxed.

The donkey refused to budge. "Forget it. Give up on that idea. This divine beast is far too noble. If even a single hair is harmed, can you take responsibility?"

"Ling Feng, let me do it."

Fairy Qingping gently tugged at his sleeve. "I'm not going to die. Don't underestimate me. I'm ranked within the top twenty on the Creation Star Ranking, just below the Ten Young Emperors."

As she spoke, she parted her lips slightly and exhaled a crystal of ice.

In an instant, a chilling aura spread outward. Even Ling Feng and the donkey shivered.

"What is that?"

Ling Feng's eyes narrowed. For it to release such cold within the Forbidden Domain, it clearly did not belong to the Xuanling Continent.

"An Extraterrestrial Frost Crystal."

Fairy Qingping spoke calmly, "I may not fully understand what you mean by powers beyond the rules of this world, but this crystal fell with a descending star. It should not originate from the Xuanling Continent. The cold it contains rivals the very source of ice itself."

"No wonder you always carry that faint chill around you."

The Despicable Donkey grinned. With his knowledge, he understood exactly what it was. Once unleashed, this crystal could freeze everything within several hundred zhang into ice shards.

Fairy Qingping bit her lip and hesitated briefly before looking at Ling Feng. "My plan is simple. I draw them out and force them to gather. Then you strike and detonate the Frost Crystal. That way, we can clear them out quickly and enter the mine."

"No. If you do that, what happens to you?"

Ling Feng shook his head without hesitation. "If it's that powerful, you'll be caught in it too."

Fairy Qingping met his gaze and said calmly, "My physique is the Sacred Ice Body. Even if the Frost Crystal releases its full power, it will only benefit me. It won't harm me at all."
