Chapter 2007: Chapter 2004: Explanation
"Isnāt that wrong?" Ling Feng wondered to himself, "If thatās the case, then what happened to the Artifact Spirit of the Tooth of Greed before?"
Faced with Ling Fengās question, the Tower Spirit Prophet remained silent, as if the question posed by Ling Feng was difficult for her to answer.
Ling Feng also seemed to realize something. Could it be that there was something hidden about the Mad Doctor becoming the Artifact Spirit of the Tooth of Greed?
"Tower Spirit Prophet, please tell me, what is really going on?" Ling Feng asked anxiously.
But the Tower Spirit Prophet continued to remain silent, as if considering whether to tell Ling Feng or not.
Ling Feng said again, "Senior Tower Spirit, this is very important to me. I swear to kill the Mad Doctor, and I hope senior, if you know anything, please let me know!"
The Tower Spirit Prophet sighed and said, "Since you insist on knowing, I will have to tell you. But this concerns the secrets of our Chaos Supreme Treasures. After I tell you, you must keep this matter to yourself and not tell anyone! Understand?"
Ling Feng was somewhat excited and quickly agreed to the Tower Spirit Prophet.
"Actually, Chaos Supreme Treasures are not immortal!" the Tower Spirit Prophet said solemnly, "Even Plane Worlds experience decline, so how could Chaos Supreme Treasures escape the constraints of the Laws of the worldās cycle?"
"However, for Chaos Supreme Treasures, there are only three ways in this world that can destroy us. The first is the Chaos Storm!"
"Chaos Storm?" Ling Feng couldnāt help but wrinkle his brow slightly. This was the first time he had heard the term.
The Tower Spirit Prophet said, "Thatās right, the Chaos Storm. Chaos Storms exist in the Great Thousand World and specifically target only us Chaos Supreme Treasures... and the Star Core Power of Plane Worlds. In some sense, if a Plane World declines too quickly, it is also related to the Chaos Storm!"
Ling Feng was shocked, "Are Chaos Storms really that powerful? Is there no way to stop them?"
"Stop them? With what?" the Tower Spirit Prophet sneered, "As long as you exist in the Great Thousand World, you must endure these Chaos Storms. Powerful Planes and Chaos Supreme Treasures can naturally survive in the Chaos Storms, but those declining Planes and weak Chaos Supreme Treasures can only hasten their demise!"
"I too was affected by a Chaos Storm before, which is why Iām barely hanging on in the Ghostly Ruins. After all... only the Ancient Ruins are unaffected by the Chaos Storms, because this is a Forsaken Land!"
Ling Feng seemed to understand something. He wanted to ask why the Chaotic Octagonal Linglong Tower had to leave the Ancient Ruins, but then he thought that the Ancient Ruins might be destroyed at any time, and he understood the Tower Spirit Prophetās actions.
Perhaps this was a dark history of the Chaotic Octagonal Linglong Tower, so the Tower Spirit Prophet didnāt give too much explanation: "Anyway, you just need to remember this. Chaos Storms wonāt affect other living beings, and no one can control or block the Chaos Storms!"
"As for the second method, itās the self-annihilation of the Artifact Spirit!" the Tower Spirit Prophet said.
Ling Feng was puzzled, "The self-annihilation of the Artifact Spirit? Isnāt that the legendary... suicide?"
šÆš§š®š®šš®šš£ššššµ.š¬šøš
"Although the term sounds crude, thatās indeed what it means!" the Tower Spirit Prophet said.
Ling Feng felt incredulous, "Can Artifact Spirits really commit suicide? How is that possible!"
"Why is that impossible?" the Tower Spirit Prophet retorted, "If even lower life forms like you can commit suicide, why do you think the Artifact Spirit of a Chaos Supreme Treasure canāt?"
Ling Feng was stunned, what she said made sense, and Ling Feng found himself speechless.
"Although the lifespan of a Chaos Supreme Treasure is extremely long, some Artifact Spirits feel their existence lacks meaning, so they choose self-annihilation!" the Tower Spirit Prophet said lightly, "However, for the Artifact Spirit of a Chaos Supreme Treasure, self-annihilation is not a simple matter and requires a long time."
"As for the third method..." At this point, the Tower Spirit Prophet paused and said, "This method I canāt tell you right now, as it involves the secrets of our Chaos Supreme Treasures. You just need to know that while the Artifact Spirit of a Chaos Supreme Treasure can be destroyed, using external forces to destroy it is almost impossible."
"As for what happened to the original Artifact Spirit of the Tooth of Greed that caused its annihilation, thatās something I donāt know! But for the current Artifact Spirit, it is one with the Tooth of Greed, and trying to destroy it alone is impossible!"
The Tower Spirit Prophet said, "Alright, Iāve told you what I can, and thereās no need for you to know the rest that youāre not supposed to know!"
With that, the Tower Spirit Prophet became hidden and said no more.
Ling Feng couldnāt help but furrow his brow. According to the Tower Spirit Prophet, it was almost impossible to eliminate the Mad Doctor alone! But Ling Feng always felt something was amiss.
"Could it be related to the third method the Tower Spirit Prophet mentioned?" Ling Fengās intuition told him that this third method could definitely eliminate the Mad Doctor, but since the Tower Spirit Prophet didnāt want to say, Ling Feng had no way to pry it out of her.
He could only look for another opportunity in the future! Ling Feng thought to himself.
"Sect Master Ling, Sect Master Ling!" At this moment, Ling Feng heard the voice of the Storm Sect Master.
Ling Feng looked up at the Storm Sect Master and asked in confusion, "Sect Master Storm, what did you say?"
The Storm Sect Master smiled wryly and said, "It seems Sect Master Ling was distracted just now. I was just saying that the champion of the Martial Arts Conference will be decided in a few days, and then the Painterās legacy..."
Since the Painterās legacy was provided by Ling Feng, they wanted to subtly inquire to see if Ling Feng could indeed produce the Painterās legacy.
Ling Feng smiled and said, "Thatās no problem. I already have the Painterās legacy! Once the champion is decided, I will naturally present it!"
Ximen Tian and the Storm Sect Master exchanged glances and felt relieved.
"Sect Master Ling, but I have a concern!" Ximen Tian said seriously, "What if someone from Heavenās Gate wins in the end and becomes the champion?"
The Storm Sect Master chimed in, "Yes, if thatās the case, we canāt possibly give the legacy to someone from Heavenās Gate, can we?"
Ling Feng chuckled and said, "Donāt worry, seniors, thereās no need to worry about that. If itās someone from Heavenās Gate, I assure you he wonāt return!"
Seeing Ling Fengās confident demeanor, Ximen Tian smiled and said, "I wonder what the Painterās legacy is. Can we have the honor to see it?"
Ling Feng nodded and said, "Of course, but the result might disappoint you. The Painterās legacy isnāt all that mysterious."
