The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1431: Cooperation

"Damn it!"

Ling Feng was drenched in sweat as he faced the relentless assault of Supreme Elder Ba Tu. Under the savage barrage, he was gradually losing ground.

A peak Great Emperor possessed an astonishing foundation. Ling Feng used every method at his disposal and unleashed one Soul Dao secret art after another, yet he still failed to deal any real damage to Ba Tu. At best, he could only stall for a short time.

Even if he fought with everything he had, he might not be able to defeat his opponent. On top of that, the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire was dragging him down, making the situation even worse.

Nearby, Saint Lady Hui Yue was almost completely exhausted. Her spirit had withered. She leaned weakly against a massive boulder, unable to take action, unable even to summon the strength to escape.

She knew very well that her fate was now tied to Ling Feng's. They were like two ants tied to the same rope. If Ling Feng died, she would be next.

The only remaining chance of survival was to help Ling Feng turn the tables and kill Ba Tu.

However, with Ling Feng's strength, accomplishing such a thing was likely impossible.

Saint Lady Hui Yue felt despair fill her heart. She had dominated the world for so long, yet she had ended up in such a miserable state. The thought filled her with bitterness. Deep within her heart remained a powerful obsession. If she died without fulfilling it, she would never rest in peace.

"I cannot die!"

Saint Lady Hui Yue clenched her fists tightly. Unfortunately, she could not muster even a trace of strength. Life and death were no longer within her control.

Suddenly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ling Feng. It seemed she had noticed something. She let out a soft sound of surprise, then slowly tightened her fists as if she had made a decision.

Boom!

At that moment, Ling Feng threw another punch and shattered a demonic handprint unleashed by Supreme Elder Ba Tu. The recoil forced him back more than ten steps, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Heh heh heh..."

Supreme Elder Ba Tu continued to sneer as he stared at Ling Feng.

"Boy, why have your punches become so weak? What, are you already running out of strength? In that case, let us end this here. Go die!"

Ling Feng had already slain two Barbarian Divine Guards, and earlier he had killed that gaunt old man as well. In total, three barbarian Great Emperors had died at his hands. In Ba Tu's mind, Ling Feng had long been placed on the must-kill list, equal to Saint Lady Hui Yue.

"Damn it!"

Ling Feng shot Saint Lady Hui Yue with a furious glare. This cursed woman had truly dragged him into disaster. Of all times to run, she had chosen to bring five barbarian Great Emperors straight toward him and pull him into the mess.

He ruthlessly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Ling Feng knew he had already fallen into a deadly situation. His only remaining chance was to activate Chaotic Rebirth.

"It seems this is the only way!"

Ling Feng gritted his teeth. Chaotic Rebirth was his greatest trump card, but the side effects were terrifying. He had only just advanced to the seventh level of the Spiritual Sea Realm after absorbing the spiritual energy within a Great Emperor Spiritual Domain. Now, if he wanted to survive, he would likely have to sacrifice that progress.

At that moment, Saint Lady Hui Yue's voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.

"Boy, the flames covering your body seem to be suppressing your power."

"Hm?"

Ling Feng's gaze sharpened. While dodging Supreme Elder Ba Tu's attacks, he glanced toward Saint Lady Hui Yue and replied coldly, "You old woman, I am in this mess because of you. And you still have the mood to make sarcastic comments?"

Saint Lady Hui Yue's expression froze. A trace of anger appeared on her delicate face. This damned brat actually dared to call her an "old woman"!

With her beauty, calling her a peerless heavenly maiden would not be an exaggeration. There was not the slightest trace of age on her face. Yet this brat dared to insult her like this.

Still, she quickly forced herself to calm down and continued transmitting her voice.

"Boy, if you still want to live, then listen carefully to what I say!"

Ling Feng snorted softly. Using the >Thunder God Shadow secret art, he continued stalling Supreme Elder Ba Tu while gritting his teeth.

"If you have something to say, then say it!"

"Damn it!"

Saint Lady Hui Yue cursed inwardly. She took a deep breath before continuing.

"You must have cultivated some sort of fire-based divine skill and attempted to devour the abnormal fire on your body. However, your mastery was insufficient. Not only did you fail to devour it, you were instead burdened by it. You have to constantly divert your strength to suppress the abnormal fire, which prevents you from dealing with your enemy at full power. Am I right?"

"Mhmm?"

Ling Feng's eyelids twitched slightly. He had not expected Saint Lady Hui Yue to possess such sharp insight. She had only watched for a short time, yet she had already figured out his situation.

"So what if you are right?"

"If I am not mistaken, the abnormal fire on your body is the legendary Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire. If I can help you refine that abnormal fire, not only will you be able to fight those barbarian Great Emperors with your full strength, your own power will also increase tremendously!"

Saint Lady Hui Yue clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth, "Brat, cooperate with me! This is the only chance we have left!"

"Do you have a way to help me refine the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire?"

Ling Feng's pupils shrank slightly. To be honest, he did not fully trust Saint Lady Hui Yue. However, under these circumstances, they were at least on the same side. Their lives were tied together. If he died, she would not survive either.

Besides, the price of using Chaotic Rebirth was far too great. If his cultivation fell back to the first level of the Spiritual Sea Realm, it could take him an unknown amount of time to recover.

"Believe it or not, this is your only chance!"

Saint Lady Hui Yue looked extremely weak. Even transmitting her voice with spiritual consciousness had become exhausting. It was clear how severely drained she had become.

In truth, rather than helping Ling Feng, one could say she was using him to escape death.

"Fine. Saint Lady Hui Yue, tell me what I need to do!"

Ling Feng activated the Divine Thunder Avatar and narrowly avoided a palm strike from Supreme Elder Ba Tu. Even so, a terrifying surge of malevolent qi tore across his chest and left a deep mark. His refined chest armor was gouged with five deep grooves.

"Boy, stop struggling uselessly. Give up your resistance. I will at least leave your corpse intact."

Supreme Elder Ba Tu frowned slightly. He already held the absolute advantage, so he no longer rushed to finish the fight. If he pushed Ling Feng too far, the boy might resort to desperate measures. Ba Tu did not believe Ling Feng could truly turn the situation around, but he had no desire to waste unnecessary strength.

After all, this was the Dead Soul Devil Abyss. One had to preserve enough power. Otherwise, leaving this place alive would be extremely difficult.

"Old bastard, do not think you have already secured victory!"

A cold light flashed in Ling Feng's eyes. His heart hardened as he gritted his teeth.

"Six corpse puppets, obey my command. Self-destruct!"

"What!"

"What a ruthless brat!"

The two Barbarian Divine Guards felt their eyelids twitch violently. They immediately abandoned their fight with the corpse puppets and retreated without hesitation.

Under Ling Feng's control, the six corpse puppets rushed toward Supreme Elder Ba Tu at the same time. They pushed their power to the limit and triggered a wave of frenzied self-destruction.

Boom!

The first corpse puppet exploded. Violent power erupted instantly.

Supreme Elder Ba Tu immediately summoned a defensive magical treasure. Instead of retreating, he chose to stand his ground and withstand the terrifying force of the six corpse puppets' self-destruction.
