331: Chapter 330 So Close Yet So Far

Suddenly, the Immortal Platform erupted with endless blood-red light; at its edges, thousands of bolts of black lightning descended...

Although the Divine Soul at the center of the Immortal Platform emitted a dense golden light... it still could not escape being swallowed by the blood-red glow...

Like a small boat in the middle of a vast ocean... it could be overturned by giant waves at any moment...

Lu Qingfeng frantically chanted the Mind Calming Formula.

Hold on... I cannot be swallowed by this strange blood color; this was his only thought at this moment...

Frozen for an eternity, ...

The heart is calm and the Qi is quiet, I alone am divine.

...Remaining in the space between, unmoved by ten thousand changes!

No attachment, no abandonment, no action, no self...

The golden light on the Divine Soul grew weaker and weaker.

It's useless... it's useless!

Lu Qingfeng grew anxious... What kind of bizarre Immortal Platform was this? Did it absolutely require the same attribute?

His mind raced frantically, constantly recalling other methods.

Right, there's another one, the Ice Heart Art, also known as the Mind Clearing Art... He remembered an old TV series where it was used to restrict demonic possession.

He had tried it many times before without effect.

But now he had no other choice; he couldn't just watch as his golden Divine Soul was completely swallowed by the blood-red light...

Heart as clear as ice...

Unyielding despite ten thousand changes...

...

...

Under his frantic chanting, the golden light of the Divine Soul actually grew brighter and brighter...

It works...

Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed; it seemed he really was falling into a demonic state.

He didn't quite understand; he hadn't killed many people, so why would he comprehend this kind of Martial Will?

He remembered that back then, his goal was only to punish a few ringleaders and ultimately organize the Noble Families to break their monopoly over the lower classes.

He never intended to go on a killing spree.

Moreover, even after coming to Chaos Star and doing many wrong things... that was due to youthful ignorance and knowing too little.

But he never harbored delusions of slaughtering this world.

But why... did he feel like his Martial Will wanted to slaughter all living beings and destroy this world?

Killing intent? No... he felt it was demonic intent...

The ring... right... it must be the ring; this might be a demonic ring.

What was it trying to turn him into?

Why did he happen to pick up this ring?

Was it destiny, or did the rules choose him?

Not good...

Suddenly, the blood-red radiance erupted again.

He didn't have time to think further and continued to chant the Mind Clearing Art.

He resisted the blood-red light's erosion of his Divine Soul.

As time passed.

The twenty-fifth day...

The blood-red radiance dispersed.

The Divine Soul burned with towering golden flames... blooming with endless golden light.

It illuminated the entire divine court!

And the Divine Soul gradually became more and more stable, floating three inches above the Immortal Platform.

Lu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and instantly opened his eyes.

Black electrical arcs flickered, and an endless sea of blood rose and fell...

He rose to his full height...

Taking a step... space-time reversed... a path of golden light spread beneath his feet... A Step to the Horizon.

In an instant, he returned to the shipping lane heading toward Chaos Star... He calculated the time.

Fortunately, he would make it in time.

The moment his Divine Soul stabilized, a new Divine Ability appeared in his mind.

A Step to the Horizon was countless times faster than his normal traveling speed.

It could almost rival the speed of warships and spaceships... in short bursts, it could exceed the speed of light.

It wasn't pure speed; it was like crossing through space-time, shortening the distance beneath his feet.

He didn't quite understand...

It seemed it really was a Legacy.

Entering Seeing God and Imperishable allows one to inherit the Physical Body Divine Ability, Law Heaven and Earth, where defensive power and strength double with size.

And entering the Immortal Platform granted the speed Divine Ability, A Step to the Horizon.

Defense, strength, speed—would the next one be an offensive Divine Ability?

He was quite expectant...

The Human Race, the Intelligent Humans... they all must die!

He set off, treading upon golden light, crossing space-time step by step as he headed toward Chaos Star.

In two days at most, he could descend upon Chaos Star... and wipe them out.

There was plenty of time!

He could even travel a bit slower and take the time to Cultivate rapidly!

Every time he entered a new Realm was when his improvement was fastest.

...

Chaos Star, inside a teahouse.

A fat man with a troubled expression kept his head down, not daring to look at the woman opposite him.

And the woman opposite him was staring at him with a face full of rage.

After a long time, she finally asked coldly, "Chen Cheng, what exactly is the matter you asked me here for today? I'm very busy and have no time to drink tea with an ungrateful person like you!"

Chen Cheng was silent for a while, then he looked up, his eyes bloodshot as he retorted, "What do you know? Your parents are both here, but I have parents, a lover, and children too... But ninety years ago, right after I got married, I was forced to fake my death and was screened into the intelligence organization. I had no choice, do you understand?"

Zhao Yanan opened her mouth, about to speak, but Chen Cheng continued, "Besides, do you know what kind of person Lu Qingfeng is? I'm saying he's a little bastard, do you get it?"

At this point, he had a reminiscent look on his face. "The first time I met him, he almost killed me, understand? Then he forced me to work for him. Do you think I'm very grateful to him? I had ten years left, ten years, and I could have had a new identity, returned to normal society, and lived a life with family and friends... Because of him, I now feel guilty... Do you understand? I'd rather he never appeared..."

"But is that your reason for murdering Governor Gao?" Zhao Yanan asked back.

"If I didn't kill him, Chaos Star wouldn't fall into chaos, do you understand? This man's ability was too strong... Chaos Star's success today is due not only to Lu Qingfeng's martial power but also to his methods. Unfortunately, without the support of martial power, he was ultimately just a weak Martial Artist..." Chen Cheng sighed with some regret!

"Chen Cheng, don't talk to me about anything else. I'm just asking you, what did you come to me for today?"

"Leave Chaos Star..."

"Why should I leave Chaos Star? I believe the Boss will come back... and take back everything that belongs to him."

"It's better if he doesn't come back. Zhao Yanan, I thought you were a smart person, but it turns out you're as stupid as a pig. Do you think Lu Qingfeng can take back Chaos Star just by coming back? No... they will destroy Chaos Star... As a former colleague, I respect you... that's why I'm reminding you. Take your family and leave Chaos Star; I can help you!"
