Chapter 422 Ch 422: Power of Chaos
Dark Mist Emperor's Heavenly Blue Ice Flame was burning fiercely on Ling Xiaolong's body, making him experience a searing pain, so intense that it was unbearable.
"Arghhh!"
Even Ling Xiaolong was unable to endure the pain and screamed out in agony. It could not be helped. The pain came all too sudden, he was unprepared. Most importantly, this flame was a unique flame and was refined by a Master of Chaos. In essence, the flame's potency didn't solely originate from its own source; the power of its master also fueled its strength. This caused its efficiency to escalate.
At first, Ling Xiaolong only experienced the burning pain, however, it soon morphed into an icy sensation, such that the torment seemed to alternate between scorching heat and freezing cold.
Ling Xiaolong's senses were overwhelmed as the Heavenly Blue Ice Flame continued its relentless assault on his body. The transition from searing agony to an icy chill added a layer of complexity to the torment, making it even more excruciating. It was as if the flame had the ability to manipulate the very nature of pain.
Dark Mist Emperor revealed a smirk on his face. He had always been proud of his Heavenly Blue Ice Flame. If not for his control over the Rule of Darkness, he might be called Ice Flame Emperor, for he was known for his flame throughout the reach of the Hall of Sin.
Even Masters of Chaos above his level would be grievously burned and Masters of Chaos below his level might end up dead under the relentless onslaught of this formidable flame.
That is why, the Dark Mist Emperor was very sure that Ling Xiaolong, a mere Celestial Sovereign of Chaos, would not be able to escape. He will die today, right in front of him. All he has to do is wait slightly and he could bring the corpse of the 'legendary' Ling Xiaolong back to the Hall of Sin.
As he envisioned presenting Ling Xiaolong's lifeless body to the higher-ups, he was confident that he would be generously rewarded. The mere thought of this accomplishment alone was enough to fill him with immense excitement.
Just as Dark Mist Emperor was feeling happy, something unexpected happened. His extremely powerful Heavenly Blue Ice Flame had unexpectedly changed!
The two Wooden Puppets's bodies flickered with a grey light. Following that grey light, his Heavenly Blue Ice Flame was sucked away by something that seemed like a faint vortex that appeared above Ling Xiaolong's body out of nowhere.
"What the... How is this possible?" Dark Mist Emperor was dumbfounded. He could not help but see as the vortex disappeared after sucking away his flame. And then, he was given yet another shock when he witnessed Ling Xiaolong's burned body recovering in just a few seconds.
"What just happened?"
Dark Mist Emperor could not help but question. That was his Heavenly Blue Ice Flame. How is this possible for a mere Celestial Sovereign to escape so easily from the onslaught of this flame?
What was that dark vortex?
Was it a trick that Ling Xiaolong pulled?
While he was still in shock, Ling Xiaolong charged at the Dark Mist Emperor. What surprised Dark Mist Emperor the most was that when Ling Xiaolong punched out, there was actually a blue flame on his fists.
It was only now the Dark Mist Emperor was sure that the vortex was definitely a trick pulled by Ling Xiaolong.
Clearly, Ling Xiaolong had not only absorbed his Heavenly Blue Ice Flame, he could now even control the Heavenly Blue Ice Flame at will.
This was bad, this time it was even more troublesome!
Facing Ling Xiaolong's attack, the Dark Mist Emperor's figure flashed to the side, dodging easily while thinking of countermeasures.
'Looks like only one way is left. If even that method doesn't work, then I'm afraid I won't be able to kill Ling Xiaolong this time.' Dark Mist Emperor thought to himself and then clenched his fist in irritation. His eyes glowed with a fierce glint as he darted a cold look at Ling Xiaolong and spoke arrogantly, "But it doesn't mean I can't do anything about you. If I cannot kill you. I'll simply capture you and bring you to the Hall of Sin."
As he finished speaking, he quickly started making some signs with his hand. The position of his hand and fingers were ever-changing. With every movement, a dark line was drawn in the air. Very quickly, a seal appeared in the air. Black mist emerged from the seal and flooded the surroundings.
"Hiss!"
A very strange and eerie sound reverberated through the surroundings. Very soon, the dark mist started constricting, as if something was sucking them away.
In the end, a giant creature appeared after the disappearance of black fog. This giant creature was a python, an entirely black python. This python had a dark body with squirming scales.
Yes, the scales seemed to be squirming like worms.
It might be because the scales were constructed from the dark mist, for they were not hard. The scales were in the gaseous state, still perfectly outlining their shapes.
When Ling Xiaolong saw this python, his heart sank.
"Dark Python Lord. Eat that damn bastard."
Following the Dark Mist Emperor's command, the dark python directly charged out. It was actually not very fast when it came to speed, but it was very terrifying when it came to unleashing a relentless and overwhelming presence.
Even Ling Xiaolong felt pressured. It was as if he was facing yet another Level 4 Master of Chaos.
Ling Xiaolong closed his eyes and remained standing motionless.
Just as the python arrived in front of him and was about to swallow him whole, Ling Xiaolong opened his eyes. His eyes flashed with cold light.
A Divine Presence seemed to have descended from the sky all of a sudden, freezing not only the dark python but also the Dark Mist Emperor who was grinning hideously.
A burst of radiance appeared to erupt from Ling Xiaolong's body. The sky underwent a dramatic change, and suddenly, a reflection of a dark void materialized above everyone's heads. This ethereal image enveloped the entire Land of Thousand Gold, captivating the attention of all.
The reflection portrayed a dark void, yet within it, several starry lights twinkled at various points.
Currently, only Masters of Chaos above Level 5 retained their mobility. Everyone else in the Land of Thousand Gold found themselves frozen in place. No one dared to move, sensing a divine presence blossoming directly above them. There was an overwhelming feeling that any movement could result in their very existence being obliterated by a sovereign aura.
This was a terrifying feeling, very terrifying.
No Master of Chaos had ever felt anything like that.
The Masters of Chaos who could still move were all above Level 5. They flew in the sky, wanting to investigate the reason behind the appearance of this image; the reflection of chaos.
Unfortunately, the reflection of Chaos had already covered this Land entirely. In fact, it had gone beyond that.
How big was Chaos?
It is not something that the boundary of a mere Land could encompass.
On this day, the appearance of this reflection became the topic of discussion throughout the Land. No one knew the reason, but they had several guesses.
Coming back to Ling Xiaolong he could observe everything that was happening throughout the Land of Thousand Gold. It might be because this land was within the reach of his Chaos's reflection.
He could see everyone's reaction.
He soon realized something.
"It turned out I'd been underestimating the power of my chaos. Previously, because of the vast gap between each level of Master of Chaos, I thought I could at most fight a Level 3 Master of Chaos and escape alive. But now it seems I have the ability to kill Level 5 Masters of Chaos and escape from others above that level."
"Indeed, I've thoroughly underestimated the might of Chaos. IT IS CHAOS. I should have had more faith in it than running wild imagination, trying to gauge its strength."
Ling Xiaolong smiled and finally focused on the two frozen figures. He walked over step by step.
With each step, Dark Mist Emperor's heart trembled. It was the first time he felt fear, a profound horror that seemed to emanate from the depths of his soul. Unexplainably, his instincts warned him that he had reached a point of no return, and there was no escape from the impending consequences.
Arriving in front of the dark Python, Ling Xiaolong slowly extended his hand which was still burning with blue flame. A flash of white appeared and swallowed the blue in that instant.
Now, instead of blue, a white flame was burning on Ling Xiaolong's hand.
This was the Chaos Essence Flame that had evolved from the Universe Essence Flame.
Ling Xiaolong touched the dark python, and the python was ignited by a white flame. The python twitched, hissed, and squirmed.
Unfortunately, there is no remedy when doom is already destined.
In less than ten seconds, the python disappeared, swallowed by the white flame.
"Wa! Wa! Wa!
The white flame let out some noises. It was incomprehensible to others, but Ling Xiaolong could tell that the white flame was very excited and seemed to be having fun. It wanted more.
