The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1433: Forcing Ba Tu to Retreat

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the same time, the lingering shockwaves from the fifth corpse puppet's self-destruction gradually faded. Immediately afterward, the sixth corpse puppet was about to detonate as well.

Supreme Elder Ba Tu's eyes burned with intense excitement. Once this final corpse puppet finished exploding, Ling Feng and Saint Lady Hui Yue would lose their last means of delaying him. At that point, only death would remain for them.

However, at that moment, a terrifying surge of vitality suddenly swept through the area. Even Supreme Elder Ba Tu felt a powerful sense of danger.

This sense of danger far surpassed the destructive force of the corpse puppets' self-destruction.

"Hmm? What is going on?"

Supreme Elder Ba Tu's expression tightened. He suddenly noticed that the final corpse puppet had stopped preparing to explode. Instead, it drifted to the side and remained there as if waiting quietly for its master's command.

After refining the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire, Ling Feng had already broken through to the second level of the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Art and obtained the Strength of Ten Dragons. There was no longer any need to continue sacrificing corpse puppets.

These corpse puppets had only been things Ling Feng casually picked up along the way, so he did not feel much regret over losing them. Even so, losing ten at once still made him feel a slight sting.

Since only the last one remained, it was better to preserve it if possible. Now that he possessed the Strength of Ten Dragons, there was no reason to waste another corpse puppet.

"Old man, fortune always shifts. Now it is my turn to beat you down!"

Ling Feng shot upward into the sky. Purple flames surged around his body while the Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength coursed through him. Each swing of his fist produced a deep dragon's roar that shook the heavens.

"Brat, I think you have been frightened out of your mind!"

Supreme Elder Ba Tu frowned. Ling Feng's aura had suddenly grown far stronger, but Ba Tu assumed he had used some secret art that burned his vitality to gain temporary power.

Such strength could never last.

The defensive magical treasure protecting Ba Tu had endured even the corpse puppets' explosions. How could Ling Feng's bare fists possibly break it?

"Ninefold Ocean-Guarding Fist! Azure Dragon Subdues the Vast Sea!"

Ling Feng circulated the Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength. Endless power surged wildly through his body. For many years he had devoted most of his efforts to sword techniques. Compared with that, he was not particularly skilled in fist arts. The only one he truly knew was the mystical-tier martial skill he had learned back in the Wenxian Sect, the Ninefold Ocean-Guarding Fist.

Yet with Ling Feng's current divine strength, even a mere mystical-tier martial skill could unleash power far beyond its original limits.

The moment his fist struck out, dragon roars and tiger howls shook the sky. Heaven and earth seemed to change color. Supreme Elder Ba Tu felt as if an immense tidal wave had crashed toward him. The entire world seemed to spin beneath Ling Feng's punch!

Boom!

A violent force erupted from the fist. In the blink of an eye, it smashed directly into Supreme Elder Ba Tu's protective magical treasure.

Thunder crackled. Flames surged. It was as if a raging sea had burst across the land!

With that single punch, Ling Feng sent Supreme Elder Ba Tu and his protective magical treasure flying backward.

Crack!

A thin fracture appeared across the protective barrier. Then it spread like a spiderweb as countless cracks rapidly extended across the surface.

The spots that had previously been damaged by the corpse puppets' explosions finally gave way under Ling Feng's punch. The terrifying force burst through and shattered the sacred artifact level defensive treasure into fragments.

"Damn it!"

Supreme Elder Ba Tu's eyelids twitched violently. What kind of strength potion had this brat swallowed? His brute force seemed ten times greater than before!

"Old man, I told you that fortune always changes hands. Hehe, leave your life behind!"

Ling Feng swung his fists again and again. Illusory dragon-elephant figures flickered around his body. The Purple Flame Divine Dragon roared toward the heavens. Ling Feng stood in the sky like an Invincible War God. His divine might erupted in full force and even Supreme Elder Ba Tu began to tremble.

"Brat, if the Dead Soul Devil Abyss were not suppressing my power, I could crush you with a single hand!"

Supreme Elder Ba Tu gritted his teeth in rage. Ling Feng's brute strength was simply too terrifying. The Dead Soul Devil Abyss suppressed elemental force and spiritual consciousness, yet it placed no restriction on raw physical power.

In truth, this place was the perfect battlefield for Ling Feng. Within this environment, even a peak Great Emperor might not necessarily defeat him.

Furthermore, Supreme Elder Ba Tu had already fought Saint Lady Hui Yue for an entire day and night before battling through the beast tide in the Dead Soul Devil Abyss. He was far from his peak condition.

Ling Feng, on the other hand, had just refined the Heaven-Incinerating Dragon Fire and was currently at the height of his power.

"Unfortunately, there are no what-ifs!"

Ling Feng moved like lightning and closed the distance in an instant. He used no weapons nor martial skill. The sheer brute force of the Strength of Ten Dragons was already more than enough to give the old man a bitter taste.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and help!"

Supreme Elder Ba Tu was being completely suppressed by Ling Feng. He shouted loudly and ordered the other two Barbarian Divine Guards to assist him.

The two Barbarian Divine Guards rushed forward and joined forces with Ba Tu. Three opponents attacked Ling Feng at once, yet with the Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength empowering him, Ling Feng did not fall behind in the slightest.

"Terrifying Gaze!"

After fighting fiercely for a long time, Ling Feng finally seized an opening. He used Terrifying Gaze to freeze one Barbarian Divine Guard in place. Immediately afterward his fist burst forward and smashed that Barbarian Divine Guard's head into pieces.

The remaining Barbarian Divine Guard was terrified out of his wits. A wise man knows when to retreat. With his normal strength, crushing Ling Feng should have been as easy as stepping on an ant. Yet under the suppression of the Dead Soul Devil Abyss, he had watched several comrades fall to Ling Feng one after another.

If this continued, the next one to die would surely be him.

Fear exploded in his heart. The final Barbarian Divine Guard immediately turned and fled.

Unfortunately, the moment he moved, Ling Feng followed behind him with the Divine Thunder Avatar. Ling Feng struck with a single punch that shattered the man's heart. The Barbarian Divine Guard collapsed and was clearly beyond saving.

"Idiot!"

Supreme Elder Ba Tu was furious with grief. If that Barbarian Divine Guard had fought beside him with everything he had, they might have turned the situation around once Ling Feng's divine strength faded. Instead fear had taken hold of him, leading to such an outcome.

"Hehe! You are next!"

Ling Feng raised his fist and blew the blood from its surface. He stared coldly at Supreme Elder Ba Tu. That icy gaze made Ba Tu shudder.

Normally, even Spiritual Sea Realm experts or Human Emperor level cultivators would lose their courage the moment they heard the title of Great Emperor. Yet this brat not only showed no fear, he had already killed four Great Emperor level experts in succession!

If this continued, even Ba Tu himself might eventually die at the boy's hands.

As this thought crossed his mind, Supreme Elder Ba Tu began to consider retreat. Fighting this monster head-on inside the Dead Soul Devil Abyss was clearly not a wise choice.

"Brat, I will remember this!"

Supreme Elder Ba Tu let out a furious roar. Black energy surged from his body and transformed into a violent gale as he quickly retreated.

"Trying to run?"

Ling Feng shot upward. Flames surged across his fist as the Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength gathered within it. He threw a powerful punch straight toward the raging wind formed by Supreme Elder Ba Tu.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed through the air. A muffled groan followed from within the void. Supreme Elder Ba Tu had clearly been struck by Ling Feng's punch and suffered serious injuries. Even so, he managed to escape with his life and fled far into the distance.
