Chapter 1438: Astonishing Divine Strength

"Junior Brother Ling! (Ling Feng!)"

Chu Tiange and Fairy Qingping stood closest. When they saw Ling Feng arrive, both of them visibly relaxed. It felt as though a savior had finally appeared.

Not far away, the disciples who were still struggling against the octopus monster's tentacles were stunned when they noticed Ling Feng.

This guy actually survived the volcanic lava cave?

"Sorry. I came late!"

Ling Feng flashed forward and returned to Chu Tiange and the others while carrying Li Fei. His eyes shifted toward Fairy Qingping. Her face looked pale and slightly green. His brows drew together.

"Senior Sister Yu, you were poisoned by demonic venom?"

Fairy Qingping took a deep breath. A thin layer of sweat covered her forehead. She clenched her teeth.

"It's nothing. I... I can still endure it."

"Alright then. Hold on a little longer."

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled faintly. Even now, this woman was still trying to act tough.

"By the way, where is Senior Brother Xu? Why can't I see him?"

"Junior Brother Xu was dragged into the swamp by that monster's tentacles. I'm afraid..." Chu Tiange clenched his fists tightly. His voice carried frustration. "I'm afraid the chances are slim.

Sigh!

"

In the past, Chu Tiange never took Xu Xinghe seriously. His sights had always been set on the top thirty of the Creation Star Ranking.

After meeting Ling Feng and traveling together to the Land of War, however, many of his thoughts had changed.

His conflict with Xu Xinghe had long since been resolved. Now that Xu Xinghe's life hung by a thread, Chu Tiange naturally felt uneasy.

"Chances are slim? Not necessarily."

A sharp glint flashed in Ling Feng's eyes.

"That monster dragged Senior Brother Xu underwater. In that case, I just need to drag the monster back up."

Chu Tiange's eyelids twitched violently.

"Junior Brother Ling... what are you planning to do? Think carefully before you act!"

Ling Feng was indeed powerful. The octopus monster was not an ordinary demon beast. When they first passed through this swamp, Ling Feng did not fight it head-on. He relied on the fourth-phase Devouring Flame to suppress the creature before taking the chance to withdraw.

Now he actually intended to confront it directly?

"Junior Brother Ling, don't act recklessly!"

Not far away, Yin Jian slashed several tentacles apart and shouted loudly.

"Work with us and break out together. That is the sensible choice. If you go into the water, you might not even survive!"

Yin Jian did not really care about Ling Feng's safety. If Ling Feng fought alongside them, their chances of escaping might increase.

If Ling Feng rushed to his death, their chances of getting out alive would become even smaller.

"I, Ling Feng, do not have the habit of abandoning my companions!"

Ling Feng laughed casually. He handed Li Fei over to Chu Tiange.

"Senior Brother Chu, take care of Senior Sister Li and Senior Sister Yu. I will be back soon."

"Junior Brother Ling..."

Li Fei bit her lip and looked deeply at Ling Feng.

"Junior Brother Ling, be careful."

"Don't worry!"

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled. The next moment he plunged straight into the swamp with a loud splash.

"

Roar!

"

A violent roar erupted from the depths of the lake. The octopus monster's roar spread across dozens of miles and startled countless aquatic beasts in the surrounding waters.

"Too impulsive! This is simply too impulsive!"

Yin Jian frowned deeply. In his view, Ling Feng's action was no different from suicide.

Feng Shaoan continued fighting in the air. His fists clenched tightly. It seemed that Ling Feng had survived the volcanic lava cave, yet this time he would surely die.

"

Sigh

. I thought a savior had arrived. Turns out he is just a reckless fool!"

Bai Qi snorted coldly. His body was covered with wounds after everything they had endured along the way. Even so, he had managed to survive until now.

The moment Ling Feng entered the swamp, hundreds upon hundreds of tentacles wrapped around him and bound him into a massive ball of flesh.

The monster held grudges. It immediately recognized Ling Feng as the human who set the fire before and ruined the feast that was already within its grasp.

This time it would devour him no matter what.

"Ninefold Ocean-Guarding Fist!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A furious roar burst out from the mass of writhing tentacles that surrounded Ling Feng. He activated the Strength of Ten Dragons. Each punch produced a dragon's roar that echoed through the water with unstoppable power.

𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Tentacles shattered one after another under his fists.

The people fighting above the swamp gradually noticed something strange. The number of tentacles attacking them kept decreasing. Meanwhile the swamp lake below had turned completely red with blood.

Such an enormous amount of blood could hardly belong to humans.

Everyone stared at each other in shock.

Could it be that Ling Feng was actually overpowering the monster?

One had to remember that aquatic monsters possessed far greater strength underwater.

"

Roar!

"

The octopus monster howled madly. Hundreds of its tentacles had already been smashed apart by Ling Feng. Waves of agonizing pain tore through its body. Its enormous form twisted violently beneath the water and stirred towering waves across the swamp lake.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

After suffering such heavy losses, the monster no longer dared to wrap Ling Feng with its thick tentacles. Instead it lashed out with numerous thinner feelers that whipped toward Ling Feng like steel whips.

"Monster, I have no time to waste on you!"

Ling Feng snorted coldly.

Xu Xinghe had been dragged into the swamp. The water here contained deadly toxins. If the poison spread through his internal organs, even Ling Feng's medical skill might not be able to save him.

"Get up here!"

Ling Feng let out a low roar. In an instant he activated the Chaotic True Form. His body expanded beneath the water and transformed into a giant ape more than three zhang tall.

The giant ape grabbed one of the monster's tentacles and exerted tremendous force. The next moment it burst upward from the water.

Crash!

A colossal wave surged into the sky.

The giant ape formed by Ling Feng soared upward while gripping the thick tentacle with both hands. He actually dragged the entire octopus monster out of the swamp!

Splash!

Crash!

It took nearly half a quarter of an hour before the monster's full body emerged.

Its enormous head resembled a mountain. Each main tentacle stretched more than a hundred zhang long and measured over ten zhang in thickness!

Beneath the main tentacles grew numerous thick feelers. The tentacles that had attacked the disciples earlier were only these smaller tentacles.

Ling Feng's earlier barrage had already shattered all the feelers beneath two or three of the main tentacles. Blood flowed endlessly from the wounds while the monster twisted and struggled wildly in midair.

A single roar from the creature made the ground seem to tremble. Its massive tentacles stirred violent currents and fierce winds in every direction.

The water level of the swamp lake below suddenly dropped by more than seven chi!

This was a massive swamp that stretched across a hundred li!

It was impossible to imagine how heavy such a gigantic creature must be. Yet Ling Feng had dragged it completely out of the water.

One could only imagine how terrifying Ling Feng's raw strength truly was!

"A demon... he's from the demon race! That Ling Feng is a demon!"

One disciple shouted in alarm. He trembled while staring at the giant ape that Ling Feng had become.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Stop making a fuss over nothing. Don't you know what a demon blood true form from a special bloodline looks like?"

Bai Qi stared intently at Ling Feng and drew in a sharp breath.

"I never expected that kid to hide such a move. That giant ape form must amplify his physical strength several times over!"

Of course, Bai Qi did not know the real reason Ling Feng used the Chaotic True Form.

His normal human hands were simply too small to grasp such a massive tentacle.

The strength that allowed him to drag the octopus monster from the swamp did not come from the Chaotic True Form.

It came from the Strength of Ten Dragons!
