The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1491: The Underground "Starry Sky"

"What? What did you say?"

In the next moment, Ling Feng's scream echoed through the cavern.

However, Anos's spiritual consciousness avatar had already completely dissipated. Before it fell back into slumber, it had very clearly cast Ling Feng a mocking glance.

Black lines streaked across Ling Feng's forehead. That damned creature had clearly set him up!

The other exit was the one beneath the great river. If he remembered correctly, a large number of fierce beasts were gathered there, all coveting the heavenly materials and earthly treasures around Anos's seal. They didn't dare approach because they feared Anos's aura.

Although Ling Feng did intend to head in that direction to gather flowers and herbs, he had never planned to leave through that exit!

If those fierce beasts went berserk, even the Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes would likely face certain death!

Cold sweat instantly broke out across Ling Feng's forehead. This time, he had truly overplayed his hand!

He was going to be screwed to death here!

Gritting his teeth, Ling Feng refused to accept it and retraced his path. As expected, he found that the entrance had already been sealed. With his current level of cultivation, there was no need to even try. There was no way he could forcibly break through and escape.

If even he could break that seal, Anos would not have been trapped here for tens of thousands of years.

Moreover, strictly speaking, this was not a barrier. Even with a Realm-Piercing Shuttle, it could not be used to pass through solid rock!

"Damn it!"

Ling Feng felt a surge of frustration. Still, since he was already here, he had no choice but to accept reality.

At worst, he would face countless fierce beasts when leaving!

If I die, so be it. If I survive, I live on!

What is there to fear?

Having reached this conclusion, Ling Feng set off without hesitation. He walked through the long, narrow underground tunnel, searching for a way out. Based on the terrain above, he continued heading east.

One thousand li!

Two thousand li!

...

Gradually, Ling Feng could make out a massive body suppressed beneath the earth. Clusters of golden light formed into a vast net, continuously extracting power from the body of the void overlord.

It had to be said that the life force of a Void Colossal Beast was truly terrifying. If it had been Ling Feng in that position, he would have long since been drained dry.

At last, Ling Feng arrived at a relatively open stretch of damp terrain ahead. The area was densely covered with all kinds of flowers and herbs, each emitting faint, twinkling light.

At a glance, it resembled an underground starry sky!

Ling Feng took a deep breath. The entire space was filled with an incredibly rich medicinal aura. With just a single inhale, he felt his injuries ease slightly. He even felt as though he might get a nosebleed.

These heavenly materials and earthly treasures were far too potent!

"My god. These are all rare treasures, many of them already extinct in the outside world. Hahaha! I've struck it rich. I've truly struck it rich this time!"

Ling Feng's entire body trembled with excitement. He had previously obtained many ancient pill formulas, yet the main ingredients had long since vanished. In this underground world, however, the abundance of rare flowers and herbs completely overturned his understanding.

"Good stuff. All of it is good stuff!"

Excitement flickered in Ling Feng's eyes. With these treasures, even if his cultivation realm did not break through easily, his Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Art would undoubtedly surge at an astonishing rate!

Once he reached the strength of fifty dragons, crossing that river would no longer be impossible!

And...

A cold glint flashed through Ling Feng's eyes. Even if Yuwen Liang was manipulating Yang Zhen to target him, he would still tear that despicable man to pieces!

"Good. I will cultivate here for a few days. When I emerge, it will be the end of the Hunting Battlefield!"

Ling Feng took a deep breath, then directly summoned the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. Without hesitation, he began frantically scooping up every inch of ground beneath his feet and storing it inside.

After all, Anos had said it himself. Take as much as you want. Since the creature was so generous, there was no reason for him to hold back.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Yang Zhen, who had been stationed in the valley, suddenly changed his approach. After half a day of preparation, he led the remaining thirty or so disciples under his command in a forceful advance toward the barbarian stronghold!

They had no idea that Ling Feng had already eliminated the barbarian forces stationed there.

Most of these people were Yang Zhen's trusted followers. They believed in him without question. Moreover, although there had been tremors earlier, no demonic creature had attacked their base.

In their eyes, Ling Feng's warnings had been nothing more than nonsense. Yang Zhen was still someone worthy of trust.

"Junior brothers, some unpleasant events occurred earlier. Many of you developed doubts about me, and some even lost confidence. A large number of people chose to leave us! However..."

Yang Zhen paused and swept his gaze across the group before continuing.

"They will soon realize how foolish they were. Brothers, today I will lead you to a decisive victory. We will show everyone whether I, Yang Zhen, truly have what it takes!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

His impassioned speech instantly ignited the morale of the group. Each disciple's eyes turned red with fervor, burning with determination to accomplish something great under Yang Zhen's command.

Unfortunately, they had no idea that Yang Zhen had already become a pawn in the enemy's hands!

Within the crowd, Yuwen Liang wore a faint, cruel smile. In a sense, he was the true traitor, while Yang Zhen was merely a victim.

The Witch Spirit Mind-Severing Parasite could subtly influence the thoughts of its host, gradually bringing them under control without their awareness.

For example, Yang Zhen's inexplicable hatred and fury toward Ling Feng completely contradicted his identity as one of the "Heaven Slaying Ten Absolutes".

It was precisely this anger that allowed him to be fully manipulated. One misstep led to another, until he had reached a point of no return.

"We are at a disadvantage in numbers, so our strategy must be stealth and surprise. This time, we will deliver a devastating blow to those barbarians!"

Before setting out, Yang Zhen carefully analyzed the situation between both sides.

In his hand was a complete map of the Hunting Battlefield. Every corner and every landmark was marked with remarkable clarity.

It was obvious that the map had been drawn very recently.

The others looked on in amazement. With such a detailed map, they could quickly orient themselves no matter where they were on the battlefield.

At that moment, Yuwen Liang stepped forward and addressed the crowd.

"In truth, everyone misunderstood Senior Brother Yang earlier. His decision to hold position was not because he feared battle, but because he needed time to draw this map."

"As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated! If you do not even understand the terrain, where do you intend to fight? Where will you run when pursued? Senior Brother Yang's strategy is truly wise. Compared to him, Ling Feng is nothing more than a clown. He gathered a trivial amount of intelligence and tried to shake morale. Such a person is not worthy of trust!"

"So that's how it is!"

The crowd nodded in realization. Thinking it through, they now believed Yang Zhen had been acting for the greater good all along!

It seemed they had wronged him!

"Senior Brother Yang is right. We trust him completely. We will follow him and fight bravely!"

"Fight! Fight!..."

The crowd raised their arms and shouted in unison. Their morale surged. With a single command from Yang Zhen, they would obey without hesitation!
