The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1603: This Divine Beast Is About to Explode

"Heavens! Could this be the legendary Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence?"

Someone quickly recognized it.

"How is that possible? A single drop of Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence is enough to tempt even a Great Emperor expert. This whole bottle... wouldn't even peak Great Emperors fight over it?"

Fairy Qingping found it quietly amusing. Just the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence that Ling Feng had casually given to those around him already amounted to who knew how many bottles.

In truth, Ling Feng possessed an entire pool of Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence.

Under everyone's burning gaze, Ling Feng used up the entire bottle without leaving a single drop behind.

After administering the spirit liquid, he took out golden needles and began stimulating Elder Longyue's circulation. Soon, her blood began to flow faster, carrying the essence's spiritual energy throughout her body. Although her elemental force remained sealed and she could not refine its power, her wounds and even her shattered bones began to heal at an astonishing rate.

All eyes fixed on Ling Feng. Even a single drop of such a miraculous spirit liquid would have restored a good portion of their strength.

Ling Feng lifted his gaze and swept it across the crowd. He knew exactly what they were thinking. They all hoped he would share some of the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence for their own recovery.

He clasped his fists with a helpless smile. "Senior brothers, I'm sorry. This was my last bottle. I kept it for emergencies. With everyone's lives on the line, I had to use it on Elder Longyue. There's nothing left now."

He sighed, looking every bit like a man who had truly run out.

The crowd was deeply disappointed.

Fairy Qingping's eyes flickered. She did not believe a word of Ling Feng's explanation, but she chose not to expose him.

After all, Ling Feng was not running a charity. There was no reason for him to hand out something as precious as Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence to everyone he met.

Besides, it was not stinginess that held him back. Human greed knew no bounds. If he revealed he had more, word would spread, and once they returned to the sect, trouble would surely follow.

Better to cut off those thoughts now.

"Alright. Elder Longyue's condition is stable. She should wake up soon. As for that Blood Shadow Alliance disciple, I'll leave him to you."

Ling Feng gave a light snort. The moment the Blood Shadow Alliance disciple heard this, his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.

After everything he had done to the Dongling Immortal Pool disciples, a gruesome fate was the least he could expect.

"Still, it's best to keep him alive for now. Use him as a hostage. We can decide his fate after we return safely to the sect."

Ling Feng added casually. The others nodded in agreement. They were furious, but not foolish.

Before long, Elder Longyue slowly opened her eyes.

At first, confusion clouded her face. Then she sensed her restored body, and shock overtook her.

"I... I'm still alive?"

She raised her hands in disbelief. In her memory, her limbs had already been crippled beyond repair.

"It was Ling Feng. He used up all his Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Flame Essence to save you."

Fairy Qingping stepped forward as she explained.

"I see." Elder Longyue looked at Ling Feng with deep gratitude and nodded. "Ling Feng, you saved my life. I owe you one. From now on, whatever you ask of me, as long as it does not betray the sect or offend Saint Lady Hui Yue, I will do it."

"You overstate it, Senior."

Ling Feng smiled faintly. Compared to others under Saint Lady Hui Yue, this Elder Longyue was far more reasonable.

"Oh right, Ling Feng. How did you subdue that Great Peng Demon Emperor?" Elder Longyue asked, unable to hold back her curiosity.

Ling Feng hesitated. The matter of the Asura Demonic Ring involved the barbarian clans. If the older generation of elders learned of it, he would likely face some reprimand.

"Forget it. If you don't wish to say, I won't press you. That creature is no easy opponent. Do not be careless."

"I understand."

Ling Feng nodded, then glanced around at the disciples in the cave. A grin slowly spread across his face.

"By the way, senior brothers, you must all be starving by now."

The moment the word "starving" was mentioned, the inner sect disciples felt their stomachs twist painfully.

It was better not to think about it. Now that it was brought up, their legs nearly gave out.

In such harsh conditions, too many of their fellow disciples had already died of hunger and thirst. At this point, even a stale bun would taste like a delicacy.

"Heh."

Ling Feng smiled meaningfully. "Bear with it a little longer, senior brothers. In a moment, I'll treat you all to a feast you'll never forget."

"What?"

Everyone stared at him, practically drooling. Covered in blood as he was, where could he possibly have hidden any food?

"Wait here for a moment."

Ling Feng grinned and strode out of the cave. With a leap, he dropped down below.

Despicable Donkey was still greedily gulping down the Great Peng Demon Emperor's essence blood. Its belly had swollen so much it looked like a woman ten months pregnant, yet it refused to stop.

Having lost too much essence blood, the Great Peng had reverted to its original form, a massive bird over three zhang tall. The amount of blood in its body was naturally immense.

"Ugh... huff... huff..."

Despicable Donkey groaned and panted between gulps. It was on the verge of bursting, yet it still would not let go.

Ling Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I say, if you keep drinking like that, your belly is going to explode."

"Even if it explodes, I won't waste it!"

Despicable Donkey managed to reply before latching onto the Great Peng's neck again and sucking greedily.

"Pathetic creature."

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and kicked it aside. The donkey was so bloated it could barely move, clutching its stomach and gasping.

"Ah, no, this won't do, I can't... I can't... This divine beast is about to explode!"

It had not realized it while drinking, but one look at its own belly turned its face green with shock. This was far too exaggerated.

Ling Feng shook his head with a chuckle. Then he released the Devouring Flame. In no time, the Great Peng's feathers were burned clean away.

Those feathers had originally been excellent materials for crafting, but since he could not take them with him, there was no point worrying about waste.

Soon, Ling Feng extracted the Great Peng's demonic core, then cut off its beak and talons and tossed them into the cloth pouch at his waist. These were the most valuable parts, and he would not let them go to waste.

Once he finished processing the materials, Ling Feng set up a massive roasting rack and placed the Great Peng's body on top. Using the Devouring Flame, he carefully controlled the heat and roasted it for quite some time. Before long, the rich aroma of roasted meat began to spread.

"That smells incredible!"

Despicable Donkey's eyes went wide, but after glancing at its swollen belly, it knew this feast was beyond its reach.

Meanwhile, as the fragrance drifted into the cave, the disciples inside began drooling uncontrollably.

This truly was a once-in-a-lifetime feast. Roasting a Demon Emperor was one thing, but this was a Demon Emperor with divine beast bloodline. Across the entire world, how many people could ever indulge in something so extravagant?
