The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 378: A Thousand Years Ago?

"Brat, prepare to die!"

The Demon-Masked Lord cackled menacingly as his fingers, sharp as blades, tore through the air towards Gu Tengfeng and brought with them a nauseating stench.

Gu Tengfeng gritted his teeth as regret crept into his heart. He hadn't anticipated the Demon-Masked Lord's power to be so far beyond his expectations.

If he had known, he would have waited for Ling Feng to join him, increasing their chances of victory.

But it was too late to regret now. Fortunately, Yun Yiyi had already gone to notify Ling Feng and the others. If he could hold on for a while longer, they would arrive, and together, they would surely defeat the Demon-Masked Lord.

"Void Severing Slash!"

Gu Tengfeng clenched his teeth harder. Though he hadn't specifically trained in body refinement techniques, his massive build naturally endowed him with immense strength, enabling him to overwhelm countless foes.

Wielding the thousand-pound greatsword in his hand, he created an impenetrable defense and was able to match the Demon-Masked Lord blow for blow.

At that moment, a rustling sound came from nearby in the forest. The Demon-Slaying Team from Zhenlong Academy had also arrived at the scene.

"Hmph, those guys from Tianwei Academy still got here first," Qi Hao muttered, clenching his fists in frustration.

Jin Xiuming, the student with a full beard, angrily punched a towering tree beside him and cursed under his breath, "Damn it!"

"Calm down!"

Ye Fan, however, remained composed. He observed the battlefield with a slight smile on his lips. "It looks like the group from Tianwei Academy split up, and Gu Tengfeng found the demon first. Hehe."

With a sinister grin, Ye Fan continued, "It seems like Gu Tengfeng and that demon are evenly matched. We can wait for them to wear each other down and then step in for the kill. Not only can we take the demon's head, but we can also eliminate Gu Tengfeng. Two birds with one stone!"

Jin Xiuming and Qi Hao exchanged a sly look and laughed wickedly.

"Senior Brother Ye, that's brilliant!" Qi Hao gave Ye Fan a thumbs-up.

"Too bad it's not that brat Ling Feng!"

Jin Xiuming still bore the marks of Ling Feng's slap on his face, and his front teeth had also been broken, making his speech slightly slurred.

"Junior Brother Jin, patience. You'll get your chance for revenge on Ling Feng," Ye Fan's eyes flashed with cold light as he smiled cruelly. "Once we use Gu Tengfeng as bait, those fools from Tianwei Academy will surely take the bait. When they do, we can trap them all here and blame everything on the demon!"

"Hahaha. Tianwei Academy might even thank us, Zhenlong Academy, for avenging their students!"

Excited by the discussion, Ye Fan almost laughed out loud.

Behind him, the students from Zhenlong Academy nodded enthusiastically, praising Ye Fan for his unparalleled wisdom and cunning!

...

While Gu Tengfeng was locked in a fierce battle with the Demon-Masked Lord, the students from Zhenlong Academy watched from the sidelines, like spectators observing a tiger fight.

Meanwhile, Ling Feng and his group, including the black donkey, had been sucked into the mysterious Xuanwu Cave.

After a brief moment of dizziness, Ling Feng opened his eyes and found himself completely alone with no one else around.

Even using his Boundless Vision or trying to sense the despicable donkey through their spirit animal pact yielded no results.

Could it be that the despicable donkey is already more than three hundred miles away from me?

This seems too unbelievable!

Ling Feng's eyes twitched as he cautiously summoned his Eradicator of Realms and vigilantly observed his surroundings.

He appeared to be inside a mysterious cave, which contained nothing but some strange, ancient rocks.

Directly in front of him was a smooth rock wall, identical to the Xuanwu Wall he had seen before. It shimmered with a brownish glow and had swirling, ethereal gases floating around it, giving the impression of a fantastical scene.

"Isn't this the Xuanwu Wall?" Ling Feng's eyes twitched more violently.

"Xuanwu Wall... it truly is the Xuanwu Wall!"

Just then, a cheerful laugh reached his ears, starting from a distance and quickly approaching. It was as if the source of the sound was suddenly right beside him.

Ling Feng focused and saw an elderly man with snow-white hair standing before him.

The old man wore white robes and exuded an aura of otherworldly grace. Embroidered on his garment was an unusual spirit tortoise that resembled the Xuanwu divine beast Ling Feng had seen through the Heavenly Dao Eye while observing the Xuanwu Wall.

As for the old man's aura...

Ling Feng struggled to describe it. It felt like a return to the purest essence, seemingly devoid of any cultivation power. Yet, upon closer inspection, the old man's presence felt as immovable as a mountain.

Just looking at him for a moment made Ling Feng feel like he was gazing at a celestial body, an eternal constant like the sun and moon. It was almost as if he had become one with the world and the Dao.

Terrifying!

This man was undoubtedly a being far more formidable than any half-step emperor. He was a thousand or even ten thousand times more powerful!

"Junior Ling Feng greets Senior!"

Ling Feng clasped his hands in a respectful fist-and-palm salute and explained, "I was transported here by the Xuanwu Cave. If I have intruded, please forgive me, Senior."

The white-haired elder smiled faintly and glanced at Ling Feng before speaking slowly, "The Blood of the Emperor from the Heaven-Patrolling Clan who reigns over the Ninth Heaven and commands countless divine nations. Who would have thought that there were still remnants of the Blood of the Emperor in this world?"

"What?" Ling Feng's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the elder.

This person had recognized his Blood of the Emperor at first glance!

"You seem surprised."

The white-haired elder looked at Ling Feng with a mysterious smile and continued, "Only the child of the Heavenly Dao can awaken the temporal powers hidden in the divine beast's blood and travel through the past and future. Therefore, I know you are the child of the Heavenly Dao."

"Travel through the past and future?" Ling Feng's heart pounded with shock at the old man's words.

The white-haired elder smiled again and said, "I am Jiang Xuanwu."

"Jiang Xuanwu?"

Ling Feng suddenly remembered something. When Jiang Xiaofan had taken them to see the Xuanwu Wall, he had mentioned that his ancestor's name was Jiang Xuanwu!

"Indeed, Jiang Xuanwu."

The elder walked over to the Xuanwu Wall, stroked his long beard, and said, "I've always wondered what to name this rock wall. Now, it's clear to me. The Xuanwu Wall. A wall stained with the divine beast's blood should naturally be called the Xuanwu Wall!"

With a hearty laugh, the white-haired elder waved his hand and inscribed the words "Xuanwu Wall" on the stone.

"Wait a minute!" Ling Feng's eyes twitched furiously. "Did I name the Xuanwu Wall?"

Ling Feng was utterly bewildered. Could he have traveled back a thousand years?

"Is this... a thousand years ago?"

Ling Feng's hands trembled slightly. This is too incredible!
