The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1432: Refining the Dragon Fire

"Damn it!"

Ling Feng frowned. That old monster was unbelievably strong. Even the self-destruction of six corpse puppets had failed to force him back.

Of course, Ling Feng had never expected the corpse puppets to truly repel him. Their purpose was to buy time. While the puppets exploded one after another, Saint Lady Hui Yue could help him refine the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire.

Ling Feng's figure flashed as he landed beside Saint Lady Hui Yue.

The first time he had seen this woman, she stood high above others like a god. Now she looked like a fallen fairy cast down to the mortal world. Blood covered her body. Cold sweat poured from her skin. She had become extremely weak.

"Saint Lady Hui Yue, hurry and tell me. My corpse puppets cannot hold him back for long."

Ling Feng had originally wanted to treat her injuries first. When he raised his hand and saw the flames burning across his palm, he could only sigh. If the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire touched Saint Lady Hui Yue in her current condition, she would likely die on the spot.

Saint Lady Hui Yue forced herself to draw a breath and slowly pushed herself upright. She lifted her jade-like hand and a pearl of white light appeared above her palm. It was about the size of a pigeon egg. The sphere was perfectly round and crystal clear, glowing like a luminous pearl. A chilling power spread from it.

"This... is the... C-Cold Moon Goddess Pearl. I gathered... the spiritual essence of the moon... for eighteen years to refine it. The power of the cold moon contained inside can temporarily suppress your Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire and help you refine it."

"The Cold Moon Goddess Pearl?"

Ling Feng reached out and drew the pearl toward himself. The moment he sensed the cold qi radiating from it, the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire around his body reacted as if it had encountered its natural enemy. The flames actually shrank slightly.

"What a treasure!"

Ling Feng's eyes flickered with excitement. This thing really seemed capable of suppressing the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire.

Saint Lady Hui Yue truly deserved her status as the Hall Master of the Dongling Immortal Pool. She carried an astonishing number of treasures.

Without hesitation, Ling Feng swallowed the Cold Moon Goddess Pearl in one gulp.

Saint Lady Hui Yue froze.

This bastard had misunderstood completely. She only intended for Ling Feng to borrow the pearl and absorb the cold qi to help refine the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire. Instead he swallowed the entire pearl without the slightest restraint.

Eighteen years of effort had vanished in an instant!

"Damn it!"

Saint Lady Hui Yue felt as if her heart were bleeding. There was nothing she could do now. All she could hope for was that Ling Feng would succeed in refining the abnormal fire and gain enough strength to defeat Ba Tu and the two Barbarian Divine Guards.

That was assuming he did not freeze to death from the pearl's cold qi first.

The moment the Cold Moon Goddess Pearl entered his body, a bone-piercing chill surged through his limbs and bones. Even though fierce flames still burned across Ling Feng's body, he could not stop himself from shivering.

"S-So cold!"

In that instant Ling Feng felt as if he had fallen into an icy hell. His teeth chattered uncontrollably. One moment he felt like he had been thrown into boiling oil, the next he felt as if he had been hurled into an iceberg. The sensation was so extreme it nearly drove him insane!

Soon after, the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire erupted with power and began clashing against the pearl's cold qi. Extreme heat and extreme cold battled within Ling Feng's body as though it were their battlefield.

Ling Feng's mind went completely blank. He almost forgot where he was. The violent alternation between scorching heat and freezing cold nearly caused him to lose himself.

"Boy, do not lose yourself in the clash of cold and heat! Refine it! Take this chance and refine the abnormal fire!"

Saint Lady Hui Yue's sharp shout exploded in Ling Feng's mind like thunder.

Ling Feng's eyelids twitched violently as he snapped back to his senses.

Only then did he realize the cold qi from the Cold Moon Goddess Pearl had nearly frozen his soul into numbness.

"Saint Lady Hui Yue, your Cold Moon Goddess Pearl is truly terrifying."

Ling Feng shuddered as the flames covering his body began to withdraw inward. They gathered inside him to resist the overwhelming cold qi.

"Who told you to swallow the entire pearl? I only meant for you to absorb the cold qi inside it!"

Saint Lady Hui Yue ground her teeth in frustration. She already felt as if Ling Feng were the worst teammate imaginable.

If she had any other choice, she would never have helped him refine the abnormal fire.

"You should have said that earlier!"

Ling Feng cursed and immediately calmed his mind and began circulating the Art of Devouring Flame. With the Cold Moon Goddess Pearl suppressing the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire, he seized the opportunity and began devouring and refining the abnormal fire with all his strength.

The Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire had already developed a trace of spiritual intelligence. Only now did it realize the truth. The pearl's cold qi had been nothing more than bait, drawing it into conflict. The real killing move lay in Ling Feng's fourth-phase Devouring Flame.

Its intelligence was still too weak. How could it compete with a human whose mind possessed true spiritual awareness?

"That is it!"

Joy surged through Ling Feng's heart. With the pearl's cold qi suppressing the fire and the fourth-phase Devouring Flame devouring it, the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire that had once left him helpless was finally forced to submit. Bit by bit it was refined into Ling Feng's power.

At the same time, Ling Feng's corpse puppets had already exploded up to the fifth one.

The chain of explosions carved a massive crater into the ground across a radius of several hundred zhang. Sand and dust roared through the air. Violent winds swept across the battlefield. The sky darkened as if the end of the world had arrived.

The two Barbarian Divine Guards had long since hidden themselves somewhere in the distance. Their strength was suppressed within the Dead Soul Devil Abyss. If they were caught within the explosions, they would be lucky to survive without losing a layer of skin.

Supreme Elder Ba Tu, however, relied on a defensive magical treasure to withstand the force of five consecutive explosions.

His spiritual power remained locked firmly onto Ling Feng, preventing any chance of escape.

"Hehe. Boy, I would like to see how many corpse puppets you have left to blow up."

Supreme Elder Ba Tu continued to sneer. His defensive magical treasure had been blasted full of dents and holes, yet it still endured the destructive force. He himself remained completely unharmed.

Once the final corpse puppet exploded, Ling Feng would have no strength left to resist.

Only death would await him!

At that very moment, Ling Feng had finally used the power of the Cold Moon Goddess Pearl to completely refine the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire.

The annoying layer of flames covering his body vanished. In its place appeared a completely new Devouring Flame.

After refining the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire, the fourth-tier Devouring Flame advanced once more and reached the middle stage of the fourth-phase. It even began to develop a faint trace of spiritual intelligence.

Purple flames wrapped around Ling Feng's body like a blazing dragon roaring toward the heavens. A supreme divine might erupted from within the fire.

The remaining energy of the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire was absorbed into Ling Feng's body and fused with every limb and bone. The Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Art, which had long been suppressed by the dragon fire, finally broke through.

His strength surged from the power of Eight Dragons to the Strength of Ten Dragons!

A violent power roared through Ling Feng's body like raging tides.

The leap from eight dragons to ten dragons was not simply the addition of two dragons' strength. It was a true transformation!

It signified that the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Art had advanced from the first level to the second level.

For a thousand years, Ling Feng might be the only person who had cultivated this divine skill to the Strength of Ten Dragons.

"I feel power surging through every part of my body!"

Ling Feng clenched his fists tightly. The raging force within him churned like flood dragons overturning the seas. Unable to restrain himself, he raised his head and let out a long roar toward the sky!
