The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1495: Escaping into the Open

"Damn, that's amazing, my Zifeng!"

Ling Feng grabbed Zifeng off his shoulder and looked at it with increasing satisfaction. This little fellow had not wasted all the resources he had devoured!

"Hehe, but Master, I cannot do it alone. To control a fierce beast, you must first disrupt its spiritual consciousness. You need to draw its attention. Only then can I secretly "Parasitism" it and take control of its body."

"..."

Ling Feng's mouth twitched.

He had praised it too early. In the end, this fellow was still responsible for acting cute, while he had to risk his life!

"Zifeng, can I take back what I just said?"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes and almost felt like throwing it to the ground!

Zifeng puffed its cheeks. "I am a peace loving elemental life form!"

"I give up!"

Ling Feng slapped his forehead. He should have known better than to expect too much.

"Fine. How long do you need to control one beast?"

Ling Feng activated his Boundless Vision and estimated the distance to the nearest fierce beasts. Each powerful beast had a strong territorial instinct. Once he engaged one, the others would swarm over within ten breaths.

If Zifeng could complete control within that time, his chances would improve greatly.

"From the moment I enter its body, I need at most five breaths. If you can further disrupt or damage its spiritual consciousness, I will be faster."

"Mhmm!"

With this ability, taking the risk was worth it. It was far better than facing a full swarm of Great Emperor-level beasts.

He acted immediately!

Ling Feng chose the nearest shark-like beast. It was about ten zhang long. Its size was not particularly large, yet the vitality it emitted was overwhelming. Other beasts kept their distance.

That made it the perfect target.

This shark beast dominated the nearby waters. It occupied the area closest to the exit, absorbing the richest spiritual energy, which allowed it to grow faster than the others.

At that moment, it circled near the dark entrance, confused. The spiritual energy leaking from below had grown thinner over the past few days. It even felt the urge to investigate, yet the aura of Anos kept it from descending.

Suddenly, a white figure appeared at the entrance.

To the shark beast, that figure was nothing more than an insignificant speck.

Its simple mind reacted instinctively. Something had emerged from that abyss. Was it a treasure?

Before it could process further, the figure launched a punch straight toward it.

Water surged violently. When the attack struck, a sharp pain spread through its body and instantly enraged it.

That tiny creature dared to attack it!

"Roar!"

The shark beast opened its jaws and charged at Ling Feng in fury. At the same time, nearby beasts sensed the disturbance and began moving toward them.

"Ten breaths at most!"

Ling Feng's heart pounded wildly. Facing the charging beast, he did not retreat. Instead, he rushed forward. A blood-red vertical eye opened on his forehead.

This was not the Asura's Eye, but the eye of the Ghost Eye Frost Crow, capable of releasing mental disruption.

"Reality Reversal!"

"Terrifying Gaze!"

"Ghost Eye Ray!"

Ling Feng unleashed every Soul Dao secret art he possessed. The beast, lacking intelligence, made no attempt to dodge. All attacks struck directly.

Its mind exploded with pain. Its body convulsed violently.

At that moment, a streak of purple light slipped into its forehead.

Zifeng had begun its Parasitism.

Time passed.

One breath!

Two breaths!

Three breaths!

...

Ling Feng's forehead was drenched in sweat. The surrounding beasts had noticed something was wrong and accelerated toward them. If they encircled him, he would not even have a chance to retreat.

"Zifeng, how much longer?"

He urged through their spiritual connection.

Five breaths!

Six breaths!

...

The beasts drew closer. Even deep underwater, Ling Feng felt a chill run down his spine.

Seven breaths!

Eight breaths!

At last, Zifeng's voice rang out.

"Master, get into its mouth now!"

Ling Feng did not hesitate. Using Divine Thunder Avatar, he flashed straight into the shark's mouth.

In the next instant, a powerful aura erupted from the beast. The approaching creatures froze in place.

This was a territorial warning. Any further approach would be treated as hostility.

The surrounding beasts hesitated, then retreated unwillingly.

Ling Feng looked out through the shark's teeth and finally let out a breath of relief.

"That was too close!"

"Alright, Zifeng. Control it and get us out of here!"

"Got it!"

Zifeng cheerfully directed the shark. With a powerful flick of its tail, it surged upward.

The river was unimaginably deep. Even at its speed, the ascent took nearly a quarter of an hour.

Splash!

The massive tail broke the surface, sending waves soaring high into the air.

Ling Feng leaped out of its mouth and landed on its back. The first thing he did was take several deep breaths of fresh air.

The inside of that beast's mouth was unbearable. Even with his sense of smell sealed, it was still revolting.

Still, he had made it out alive.

And his gains had been immense!
