The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 340: The Despicable Donkey's Embarrassment!

"Oh!"

Qiao Qiao suddenly realized, "You despicable donkey, you couldn't go in yourself, so you brought us along, didn't you?"

"Hmph!" The despicable donkey snorted, its large nostrils flaring. With an unchanged expression, it said, "What are you talking about!? You are clearly judging this divine beast with the heart of a petty person!"

"As if you're a gentleman!"

Ling Feng and the others were speechless. How could there be such a shameless donkey in the world?

"It seems this door can't be opened with brute force," Yue Yunlan said as she stood before the hall doors. After pondering for a moment, she channeled a stream of water-based true qi into the doors.

Although Ling Feng didn't understand, he still stood aside, cautiously alert for any unexpected changes.

At that moment, a flash of golden light appeared before the doors, revealing a faceless golden illusion.

Ling Feng was startled. He immediately grabbed Yue Yunlan and jumped back over ten steps, his eyes fixed on the golden illusion. Simultaneously, he gripped the Eradicator of Realms in his hand, ready for anything.

When someone accidentally triggered the mechanism outside the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder, they were instantly killed, so Ling Feng couldn't afford to be careless.

The black donkey and Qiao Qiao also reacted quickly. The black donkey, in particular, had a glint of excitement in its eyes. When it had tried to come here alone, it had nearly torn even the sky apart, but it still couldn't get any reaction from the doors.

It seemed that bringing Ling Feng and Yue Yunlan along was indeed a wise decision!

"This divine beast is truly brilliant!"

The black donkey shamelessly praised itself inwardly.

Ling Feng stared at the golden illusion standing before the hall doors and asked in a deep voice, "What are you?"

"No need to be tense," the golden illusion waved its hand, its voice somewhat mechanical. "I am the spirit of this Five Elements Heavenly Palace."

"Five Elements Heavenly Palace?" Ling Feng blinked and asked, "Are you the spirit of this palace's sacred artifact?"

"No," the illusion shook its head. "I am just an ordinary spirit created by the spirit lord. The spirit lord has already left."

"No wonder," Ling Feng muttered. "No wonder this spirit seems less intelligent than the sacred artifact's spirit of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder. It's not a sacred artifact's spirit."

"So, can you tell us what this place is? What's the purpose of this Five Elements Heavenly Palace?" Ling Feng asked.

"This is the Heart Refining Hall of the Five Elements Sect. Since the former master of the palace has died, anyone who passes the trials of the Heart Refining Hall can become the new master of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace."

"Hey, what's the use of this Five Elements Heavenly Palace?" Qiao Qiao couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know," the golden illusion shook its head again. "I am merely a spirit guarding the Heart Refining Hall. I only remember my duty. All other memories are inaccessible. For instance, if you fail the trial, I will not retain any memory of you.

"In short, I only know that whoever passes the Heart Refining Hall's trial becomes the master of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace."

The golden illusion paused before continuing, "Remember, you have already entered the array of the Heart Refining Hall. The only way out is to pass the trial. If you fail, you will die. If you give up, you will die."

"Fuck!"

The black donkey jumped out, displeased. "Wait a minute, why didn't you come out when this divine beast tried everything last time? Were you purposefully making things difficult?"

The golden illusion glanced at the black donkey, clearly surprised. It had probably never seen a talking donkey before.

However, the golden illusion quickly composed itself and said calmly, "You do not meet the requirements to enter the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. To enter, one must possess the Five Elements Constitution. He and she qualify, but you and you do not!"

The golden illusion pointed mechanically at Ling Feng and Yue Yunlan, then at the black donkey and Qiao Qiao, making it clear that only Ling Feng and Yue Yunlan could enter the Five Elements Heavenly Palace to take the trial.

"What? Are you looking down on your divine donkey grandpa? What Five Elements Constitution? Your divine donkey grandpa could stomp a thousand of them flat! If you dare to stop me, I'll kick you to pieces!"

The despicable donkey began to yell and kicked out at the golden illusion.

Unfortunately, the golden illusion was just that—an illusion. No matter how the despicable donkey attacked, it had no effect whatsoever.

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

"Demonic donkey, I advise you not to covet the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. It is the treasured item of the Five Elements Sect and absolutely not for any demon race to touch. If you force your way in, the Heart Refining Hall's light of annihilation will obliterate you."

"Pah! Who are you trying to scare? Do you think this divine beast scares easily?"

The despicable donkey turned around, patted his rear a few times and said, "This divine beast is going in!"

With that, he twisted his rear and walked towards the gate.

Buzz!

Just as the black donkey was about to enter the hall, a multicolored beam of light suddenly appeared. It sliced down like a laser.

The despicable donkey's eyes widened as it realized something was wrong. It turned around quickly but not quickly enough. With a yelp, a chunk of its rear was sliced off.

The black donkey's strong physique was evident as the bleeding stopped almost immediately, but the pain had it rolling on the ground.

"Ouch! Damn your mom! It really is a light of annihilation!"

The despicable donkey, severely wounded, lay on the ground wailing while the smell of burnt flesh wafted from its rear.

"Ahahaha..."

Ling Feng and Qiao Qiao laughed uncontrollably, and even Yue Yunlan couldn't help but giggle.

This despicable donkey had finally learned its lesson!

Ling Feng walked over to the despicable donkey and smiled faintly, "Need my help to stop the pain and heal you?"

"Shut up! Does it look like this divine beast needs your help? Ow... ow!"

The despicable donkey cursed while crying out in pain. It seemed the light of annihilation was truly terrifying!

After all, this despicable donkey was a half-step emperor-level expert!

Ling Feng shook his head, took out a set of golden needles, and jabbed them into a few acupuncture points on the donkey. Then he bandaged it up and said, "Looks like you won't have a chance to compete for the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. Just rest here."

"Hmph!" The despicable donkey arrogantly lifted its head, snorting out a puff of white mist. "Brat, don't think I'll be grateful just because you treated me. You did it of your own will; this divine beast owes you nothing."
