Chapter 2574 - 2573: The General Requests an Audience
The sun had just set, and the blue glow on the Chaos Sword gradually faded away, disappearing completely.
Suddenly, a golden radiance burst forth from the sword’s body, shooting straight into the sky and illuminating the four corners of the earth, seemingly lighting up the entire globe!
As this spectacle unfolded, it captivated everyone who could see it from any corner of the world!
The golden light persisted for ten whole minutes before slowly dissipating.
At this moment, Xiangxue and Li Chunxi also arrived beside Ling Feng, the two women gazed at the giant sword, their faces expressing reverence.
Immediately, Li Chunxi asked, "Husband, what do we do next?"
"Next, I want to see if this Chaos Sword can be wielded by me!"
Ling Feng uttered, then his figure soared to an even higher altitude, quickly reaching the thinner area of the atmosphere.
This was where the sword’s hilt was located.
Arriving here, Ling Feng saw the hilt standing like a skyscraper, dozens of floors tall, and couldn’t help but chuckle to himself, "This is so big, how could I possibly hold it with my hand?"
Just as he was marveling, a white flash appeared before him, and the Chaos Sword vanished instantly!
Soon after, a longsword that could be held by a person flew swiftly from afar, landing directly into Ling Feng’s hand!
Upon gripping the hilt, Ling Feng felt a great tremor throughout his body, as if he had been struck by a powerful current!
Simultaneously, a deep voice resonated in his mind, "Greetings, master. I am Chaos!"
The voice was powerful, exuding an aura that seemed to crush all things under heaven and earth. Hearing it, Ling Feng felt a surge of heroism in his heart and then asked, "Why do you choose me as your master?"
"Master, ever since you brought back the broken sword, my Sword Spirit has recognized you as the master. Now, the sword body is restored, and I have been reborn. From now on, you are my one and only master!" Chaos replied.
Listening to this, Ling Feng’s heart was filled with boundless heroics. He swung the Chaos Sword with his hand and then asked, "Can you transform into your previous gigantic form again?"
"I can!"
Chaos said in response and continued, "But given the master’s current physique, the best state for now is as it is. If needed, the sword body can shift to a phantom form to tear open the void!"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng, upon hearing this, immediately inquired: "Do you mean you can tear apart space?"
"Yes!"
Chaos Sword continued, "In phantom form, I possess one-tenth of the original entity’s power, not only able to tear apart space but also to attack planets!"
"Good heavens!"
Ling Feng exclaimed and clicked his tongue: "If you could become corporeal, wouldn’t that mean you could destroy heaven and earth?"
"Destroying a star system wouldn’t be much of a problem, but master, you must have the ability to transform to achieve this, and then use my corporeal form to attack star systems!" Chaos stated.
"....."
Ling Feng’s heart surged, but he knew that even if he gained the ability to transform, he could hardly become a super giant capable of holding the Chaos Sword.
If he could truly achieve that, he would indeed be considered a god!
After pondering for a moment, Ling Feng stopped fantasizing excessively, smiled, and said, "Enough, let’s focus on the present. Let me ask you, how much do you remember about your previous master?"
"Answering master, ever since the sword body broke, my memories vanished as well. Now, I only remember that my former master was called Shaoyu and have no recollection of anything else." Chaos replied.
Ling Feng listened and felt disappointed but had no choice but to nod and say, "Alright then, that’s it for now. I’ll call on you when needed!"
"Understood, master!"
Chaos Sword responded, and then Ling Feng placed it into his Space Ring.
Then, his figure descended, returning to where Xiangxue and Li Chunxi were.
At this time, fighter jets from various countries flew over from afar, having discovered that the Chaos Sword had vanished, they came to investigate the situation.
Ling Feng did not pay them any attention, knowing that these people would certainly see him, and would more or less understand the situation.
"Having been out for so many days, I guess you must be homesick by now?" Ling Feng asked Xiangxue.
"Yes, Brother Ling, can we go back first and have a look?" Xiangxue asked.
"Alright, let’s go back!"
Having acquired the Chaos Sword, Ling Feng felt an immense transformation in his mood and nodded, speaking lightly.
The trio quickly departed through teleportation, passing via Shiliu Village, returning to the Parallel Universe.
Xiangxue was eager to check the situation in Antarctica, so Ling Feng provided her with a miniature spaceship, while he himself went back to the Capital City with Li Chunxi.
Having been away for days, Li Chunxi also wanted to go home and see, as she had a gut feeling that something might have happened at home.
When they teleported to her sleeping quarters, just as they were about to visit Li Huang, a servant outside the door spotted them and joyfully exclaimed, "The Princess and Consort Prince have finally returned!"
"Is there anything going on?" Li Chunxi asked.
"General Li Cheng, stationed at the border, and his son Li Wanli have returned and are waiting to pay their respects to the Princess." a servant replied.
Li Chunxi responded with an ’Oh’, glanced at Ling Feng, and asked, "How long have they been back?"
"Three days already." the servant answered.
"Alright, lead the way then!"
Li Chunxi nodded, exchanging a glance with Ling Feng.
Ling Feng understood, yet said nothing, merely smiled.
He knew well that as he had become the Marshal, the return of the Li duo might be to inquire about this matter.
The two went to see Li Huang, but didn’t spot the Li father and son, Ling Feng knew they couldn’t be waiting at the Imperial Palace all the time. They had to wait for someone to notify them before they could come.
Once seated, Li Chunxi first recounted to Li Huang the things they did in the past few days and also mentioned the Chaos Sword.
Although Li Huang dearly wished to see what the Chaos Sword’s true power was, he had already summoned Li Cheng and his son, so he had to patiently wait until they arrived to proceed.
After a bit of casual conversation, the news of the Li father and son’s petition to see came from outside.
After Li Huang commanded them to be let in, two tall men dressed in military uniforms entered the hall.
These two had eyes like lightning, exuding an aura of iron and blood, and even though their gaze towards Ling Feng seemed a bit unfriendly, Ling Feng felt quite attuned to their imposing demeanor.
This is what a soldier who has truly been through a test of blood and fire looks like.
The two generals paid their respects to Li Huang and, according to custom, were supposed to salute the Princess as well. Thus they turned around and greeted Li Chunxi, performing a grand ceremony.
Ling Feng sat on the side, and enjoyed a bit of the royal family’s courteous reception.
However, once the father and son duo stood up, Li Cheng immediately asked, "Your Majesty, Consort Prince has been newlywed and yet appointed as Marshal. Is such an arrangement not quite inappropriate?"
