The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 947: Ling Fengs Mark of Brilliance

An hour passed.

Then two.

Before long, the entire night had gone by.

At that moment, Yue Yunlan's body shimmered with a soft, sacred glow. The light wrapped around her, merging with the radiance of the strange stones that surrounded her. Wisps of crimson light slowly traced lines through the air, weaving something delicate and faint.

She was in the midst of forming a Mark of Brilliance. The lines appeared ethereal, barely taking shape, but they gradually outlined what looked like a peculiar lotus.

Beneath the Mark of Brilliance Sacred Monument, Ling Feng remained seated. The elemental qi of the world surged around him, rising with such force that it roared like a storm. A wild whirlwind spiraled outward, centered on his body. Anyone who saw this would have been terrified. Who would dare absorb elemental qi with such reckless intensity? Was he not afraid that the force would tear him apart?

In the blink of an eye, three days went by.

Yue Yunlan, who had begun her comprehension of the Mark of Brilliance Sacred Monument at the same time as Ling Feng, had already succeeded. A celestial phenomenon had manifested above her, and her Mark of Brilliance had taken the shape of a Red Lotus.

But Ling Feng's side remained still. Not even the faintest trace of a mark had appeared.

"This guy... has he really not figured anything out?"

Qiao Qiao frowned, speaking under her breath as she watched Ling Feng continue absorbing elemental qi of the world, showing no signs of progress.

"With Mr. Ling's comprehension, how could he possibly fail?" Yue Yunlan shook her head. "Let's wait a bit longer."

Just then, the Mark of Brilliance Sacred Monument finally responded to Ling Feng's efforts.

A radiant burst of nine-colored light surged from the monument and swept into Ling Feng's sea of mind, filling it with divine brilliance. Countless visions began to take form within him, swirling and solidifying in rapid succession.

At the same time, the surrounding chaotic stone formations lit up with blinding light. Their intricate patterns pulsed like living things, rushing toward Ling Feng's body in streams of glowing runes.

The power from both the chaotic stone formations and the sacred monument flowed into him. Their energy merged within his consciousness, intensifying the scenes unfolding in his sea of mind. The once-blurry images began to sharpen. Line by line, they grew clearer, as though an invisible brush were painting each stroke into existence.

"Th-this... what is this?"

Qiao Qiao stared in stunned silence. A moment ago, she had doubted him. Now, he stood at the center of a miracle.

Moreover, the fact that Ling Feng had simultaneously stirred divine radiance from both the Chaotic Stone Formation and the Sacred Monument of Brilliance suggested his condensing Mark of Brilliance was anything but ordinary.

Yue Yunlan smiled gently. Her eyes gleamed with amusement as she glanced at Qiao Qiao, who squirmed under her gaze.

Qiao Qiao pouted, gritting her teeth. "With how much of a monster this blockhead is, I wouldn't be surprised if he triggers a celestial phenomenon too."

"We'll find out soon enough," Yue Yunlan replied. Her gaze remained fixed on the chaotic stone formations. The sheer scale of the phenomenon unfolding before her made her wonder if Ling Feng's Mark of Brilliance might surpass anything seen before.

As the divine light continued to flow into Ling Feng, the visions in his sea of mind grew more defined. One after another, profound patterns flickered through the chaos. Each seemed to carry meaning, waiting to be unraveled.

Ling Feng focused his spiritual thoughts on the patterns, trying to grasp the truths hidden within. Only by fully understanding them could he complete his Mark of Brilliance.

However, the patterns were far more complex than he had expected. Even with his soul essence source refined by the Lingxu Spring, surpassing that of ordinary cultivators, he still suffered intense backlash with every step he took to decipher them.

The truths of the Great Dao were not so easily grasped.

The Mark of Brilliance light Ling Feng had drawn was not merely a little stronger than what most cultivators could endure. It was hundreds of times greater, perhaps even thousands. The backlash from the profound patterns felt as though his skull were being torn apart. His spiritual consciousness seemed to be stabbed again and again by countless steel needles.

This was not the same kind of pain as being tempered in purple flames. It tore through the soul itself, like being cast down from the heavens into the deepest pits of hell.

Pierced! Pierced! Pierced again!

Each attempt to comprehend the patterns sent another wave of torment through him, causing his body to shake uncontrollably. The agony dug into every nerve.

Yet Ling Feng refused to yield. He forced himself to press forward through the storm by sheer force of will.

At last, when the final pattern had been branded into his being, a sudden clarity swept through him. The chaos within his sea of mind collapsed, and a brilliant nine-colored radiance surged outward. His entire sea of mind became immersed in the light of the Mark of Brilliance.

Boom!

Beneath the Mark of Brilliance Sacred Monument, gales erupted with deafening force. Streams of luminous energy poured into Ling Feng's body as if countless rivers had returned to their source. The stillness of the surroundings was shattered. Winds screamed through the air while elemental qi of the world surged in a frenzy.

The storm of elemental qi rose high into the sky, churning until the heavens themselves began to twist. Even the celestial phenomenon Yue Yunlan had triggered earlier now seemed faint and distant in comparison.

Not far from Ling Feng, Yue Yunlan and Qiao Qiao were forced back by dozens of steps. The ferocity of the wind nearly knocked them off their feet, and they could barely keep themselves upright.

The two women stared in stunned silence. Ling Feng stood in the center of the chaos, drawing in the light of the Mark of Brilliance with terrifying force. A single thought flashed through their minds. What kind of monstrous Mark of Brilliance is he about to condense?

The light continued to flow into Ling Feng's sea of mind, fusing with the remnants of the shattered visions. His head throbbed so fiercely that it felt ready to burst. His ears rang as if thunder had struck beside him. He gritted his teeth and forced his spiritual thoughts to remain steady.

This was the most critical moment. If his concentration faltered now, even slightly, it would affect the final grade of the Mark of Brilliance, perhaps reducing it by an entire level.

That was something Ling Feng would never accept.

To stand against the ancient enemies of the Heavenly Dao Clan, he could not afford to be merely talented. Every step he took had to be higher than any other so-called genius, pushing far ahead until none could match him.

If there was even the smallest chance of condensing a Mark of Brilliance at the attribute source level, he would never allow himself to settle for something as ordinary as a celestial phenomenon.

To reach the pinnacle of martial arts, that was the path he had chosen. That was the pursuit to which he had dedicated everything!

"Haaah!"

With a roar that echoed across the heavens, Ling Feng released his full aura. The Lingtian Sword Force, Reincarnated Sword Will and Slaughterous Sword Will all burst forth at once. Every technique that could sharpen his will surged outward without restraint. Inside his sea of mind, the chaos burned with divine brilliance. That light pierced through his body and radiated outward, illuminating everything around him.

At that moment, Ling Feng became like a blazing sun. His entire form shimmered in harmony with the light of the Mark of Brilliance Sacred Monument, and the resonance between them revealed a glimpse of the profound truths hidden within the Great Dao.

"Now!"

Ling Feng's eyes snapped open. His presence surged so violently that even the heavens shook. Dark clouds rolled in overhead, mystical thunder boomed across the sky, and blinding lightning tore through the darkness. With a final cry, he shouted:

"Condense!"

Yue Yunlan fixed her gaze on him, her eyes shining with wonder. Surrounded by divine light, Ling Feng had become a figure that defied all reason. She knew she was about to witness the birth of a Mark of Brilliance unlike any ever seen before.

The celestial signs were overwhelming. The sky had been thrown into chaos. The elemental qi roared like a flood. The sheer brilliance flooding the area was enough to blind.

There could be only one conclusion.

Ling Feng's Mark of Brilliance would be a creation without precedent.

And if anyone in this world could make the impossible real, it was him.
