Chapter 1269: Trapped By Your Own Cocoon

"Prison of Flames, close!"

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel clenched his fist. The flaming ring surrounding Ling Feng drew tight at once. At the same time, the monster's demonic claw had already torn down with ruthless force. No matter how one looked at it, Ling Feng had absolutely no way out.

Yet at that moment, the corner of Ling Feng's mouth lifted. He charged straight toward the blazing ring in front of him with ruthless determination.

The source fire of a Heaven-Patrolling Angel was terrifying. It burned the heavens and refined all things. Nothing could withstand it. Ling Feng was actually daring to ram himself into that fire.

"Idiot, you think my Heaven-Patrolling Heavenly Fire is some mortal flame from your lower world? Foolish! Pathetic!"

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel laughed viciously. Ling Feng throwing himself into the fire was nothing but suicide. Inside the Heavenly Fire he would taste agony worse than death.

"Is that so?"

A layer of violet flame suddenly rose around Ling Feng. This was the third-tier Devouring Flame!

After devouring many abnormal fires, the third-tier Devouring Flame was already close to fourth-tier. It could not compare to the Heaven-Patrolling Heavenly Fire, but resisting for a brief moment was not impossible.

Using the Devouring Flame as his cover, Ling Feng smashed through the flaming ring. His entire body was scorched and covered in ash, yet he forced his way through.

"Lucky! Just lucky!" The Heaven-Patrolling Angel flew into a rage. "There will not be a second stroke of luck!"

The next moment, the Heaven-Patrolling Angel opened his mouth and spat another wave of blazing fire. Two massive demonic claws reached for Ling Feng. The monster's hundred-zhang body twisted through the air like a giant serpent. Lightning surged, waves rose to terrifying heights. It appeared and vanished between the deep sea and the void. Each glimpse of its true form chilled the heart.

Ling Feng's retreat grew smaller and narrower. At last, under the crisscrossing layers of fire, Ling Feng was forced back into a dead end.

"This is your end, ant!"

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel controlled the monster beneath him. With a sharp crack, the demonic claw seized Ling Feng's body. A scream tore through the sky as the sound of bones shattering could be heard. Ling Feng was covered in blood and barely alive.

"Pitiful worm. No matter how you struggle, you are still a worm that crawls in the dirt! Hahaha!"

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel laughed. The demonic claw tightened again and again. Every bone in Ling Feng's body was crushed little by little. The pain drove him to the edge of death.

"Ling Feng!"

"Fatty!"

Tuoba Yan and Lan Yuhuang trembled violently at the sight.

"In the end, he still could not escape." Yang Huanzhi clenched his fists. It was already too late. Once Ling Feng died, their turn would come soon after.

Under absolute power, powerless humans could only kneel and weep.

However, as the Heaven-Patrolling Angel continued tormenting Ling Feng, he suddenly noticed something. After the very first scream, no matter how he crushed the "Ling Feng" in his grasp, there was not a single cry or groan.

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel opened his demonic claw in shock. His palm was empty. Ling Feng had vanished without a trace!

"Have you realized it now?"

Ling Feng's cold voice came from the void. "I thought you would get so lost in your own cruelty that you would not even notice you were holding an illusion! Heaven-Patrolling Angel, you really are a Heaven-Patrolling Angel! You broke through my Nightmare Heart Technique that quickly!"

When the Heaven-Patrolling Angel first grabbed Ling Feng, he had indeed caught him. In the very next instant Ling Feng used the Nightmare Heart Technique and pulled the angel into an illusion, then escaped with a fire-escape technique.

He still had to pass through several layers of Heaven-Patrolling Heavenly Fire to do it. Half his body felt roasted. If he sniffed lightly, he could almost smell cooked meat.

"Ling Feng!"

"Big Boss Ling!"

Seeing Ling Feng alive reignited a spark of hope in Tuoba Yan and the others.

Without realizing it, Ling Feng had become everyone's hope. As long as he lived, a miracle might still appear.

"Ant!"

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel's face twisted. "I have completely lost my patience!"

"Is that so? I have lost mine as well."

Ling Feng smiled coldly. "Ugly thing, look at your back."

"What... What?"

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel snapped his head around. The giant monster beneath him was exposed to sunlight. Just like the Heavenly Pool Island Master before, its massive body began to melt and rot, revealing rows of white bone.

The monster was enormous. Ling Feng had deliberately lured the Heaven-Patrolling Angel again and again so that the creature's body would be exposed to the sunlight.

This was the punishment of the laws of heaven and earth. Not even a Heaven-Patrolling Angel could escape it.

"

Roar!

"

The monster beneath the Heaven-Patrolling Angel shrieked in unbearable pain. Its body twisted wildly as towering waves rose. It tried to create shadows to shield itself, but it was already too late.

By the time the Heaven-Patrolling Angel realized the danger, the monster's body had decayed all the way to its abdomen. A creature of more than a hundred zhang was reduced to a collapsing skeleton in the span of a few blinks. Even the bones began to rot.

Compared to the Heavenly Pool Island Master, this monster was the true source of disaster. The moment it touched the aura of the world's laws, it collapsed instantly.

"No! Nooo!"

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel's eyes filled with despair. He writhed desperately, trying to break away from the monster's body.

"You brought this upon yourself. You trapped yourself in your own cocoon! Even you cannot defy the Heavenly Dao!"

Ling Feng drove the Eradicator of Realms forward. He stopped before the Heaven-Patrolling Angel and spoke with a cold tone. "I will be taking your immortal core!"

"You... what are you!"

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel's pupils shrank. He stared hard at Ling Feng. His own body was now decaying beneath the laws of heaven and earth. Even the divine race and the rulers of the Immortal Domain could not escape this fate.

"I already told you. I am the nemesis of your Heaven-Patrolling clan. I am the child of the Heavenly Dao!"

Ling Feng's words drained the color from the angel's face. "Im... impossible. You are clearly Jiuli... Jiuli..."

His voice cut off. His body disintegrated completely. In the instant it collapsed, Ling Feng yanked a piece of flesh from the Heaven-Patrolling Angel's forehead.

According to the devilkin queen Ke Weili, the immortal core of the Heaven-Patrolling clan were hidden within the divine inscription located in the forehead.
