Chen Fei used the Slaughter Spirit Technique to suppress his own aura to the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm, and precisely because of this, these Evil beings surged forth without restraint.
Countless sword essences began to manifest around Chen Fei’s body, then coalesced at the tip of the broken ruler. A sharp aura began to rise, just by looking at the sword light, it seemed as if one’s mind would be pierced through.
These Evil beings instinctively sensed something amiss. Just as they were about to retreat to observe, Chen Fei had already taken a step forward.
Using Teleportation, Chen Fei appeared in front of one of the Evil beings. This one had an elongated tongue, bristling with thorns, its eyes glowing crimson, and boundless curses pervading all directions.
With a sweep of his sword, Chen Fei’s opponent let out a sharp scream, curses enveloping Chen Fei, while its hands dug towards Chen Fei’s eyes.
“Boom!”
With a resounding explosion, Chen Fei remained expressionless. For him, those curses were as gentle as a breeze, unable to stir the slightest ripple in his mind.
As the blade in Chen Fei’s hand swept past, the long-tongued Evil being immediately exploded into a sky full of gloom. Its hands were still a foot away from Chen Fei, but this foot was like a chasm, impossible to cross.
As one strike landed, Chen Fei’s figure had already appeared on the other side, the blade in his hand continuing its descent.
“Boom!”
With another resounding explosion, yet another Evil being shattered into fragments, its spiritual essence forcibly extracted and surging into the Qianyuan Sword.
For Chen Fei, whether it was a Third-Tier early-stage Evil being or a Third-Tier late-stage one, there was no difference at all. They were all dealt with in a single strike.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Fei had swiftly dispatched seven Third-Tier Evil beings. As for those below Third-Tier, they were instantly pulverized by the aftermath of the battle.
These Evil beings were caught off guard by Chen Fei’s onslaught, drawn in by the Evil Temptation and the allure of energy and blood. They never expected that this would be their fate.
Attempting to flee, they found that Chen Fei had no intention of letting them escape. With a few more strikes, several more Evil beings fell.
The ones a bit further away, witnessing this scene, creatures born of resentment, were suddenly driven into a frenzy.
If they weren’t given a way out, then they would all perish together!
The surrounding Evil beings all charged towards Chen Fei, abandoning defense in favor of attacking him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChen Fei lifted his eyelids slightly, a layer of flowing light rippling over his body’s surface. Those Evil hands that reached for him not only failed to harm him but were instead dissolved by the flowing light on Chen Fei’s body.
The Profound Heavenly Sword technique was primarily derived from the fusion of the protective techniques passed down from the Tiandao Sect and the Fengwu Pavilion.
If one’s perception was strong enough, one could discern that the flowing light on Chen Fei’s body surface was not merely a simple shield but was composed of countless fine sword essences.
When Chen Fei reached the peak of the Three Flowers Converging, elevating his cultivation to the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, the Profound Heavenly Sword technique finally revealed its ultimate combat prowess.
Setting aside its offensive power, just now, one sword against one Evil being had already explained everything. Under the Profound Heavenly Sword technique, unless Chen Fei’s elemental energy was depleted, it was difficult to injure him in the slightest.
Evils under the late-stage Third-Tier would be directly injured by the power of the Profound Heavenly Sword technique. Chen Fei stood there motionless; these Evil beings could essentially kill themselves in their attempts to attack him.
Therefore, at this moment, facing the attacks of these Evil beings, Chen Fei didn’t dodge in the slightest. He simply charged forward, struck with his sword, extracted the spiritual essence, and then appeared in front of another Evil being.
The Qianyuan Sword within the Qiankun Bag was now trembling incessantly from the tremendous spiritual essence bombardment.
After the Qianyuan Sword was promoted to a high-grade spiritual treasure, Chen Fei had consecutively slain several late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm powerhouses, and those spiritual essences had significantly increased the sword’s spirituality.
However, there is a huge threshold between high-grade spiritual treasures and top-grade spiritual treasures, a threshold that ordinary treasures simply cannot surpass.
Just like the difference between the late-stage and peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, the sapplies to spiritual treasures.
But at this moment, Chen Fei had provided so much spiritual essence that the Qianyuan Sword didn’t need to absorb it meticulously as before, striving not to waste a single bit.
Chen Fei’s intention was to let the Qianyuan Sword indulge itself, not caring about utilizing every bit of spiritual essence, as long as it could enhance its spirituality. How it absorbed didn’t matter, even if it wasted a lot.
The result of this was a sharp increase in the sword’s spirituality. It was already close to the threshold of a top-grade spiritual treasure, and now it not only reached it directly but even began to consits spirituality to enhance its own quality.
Using spirituality to enhance one’s own quality forcibly was a half-hearted endeavor. Normally, spirituality drove the natural strengthening of the material with the help of the natural aura of heaven and earth, a process that takes time.
But now, with so much spirituality and Chen Fei’s own strength reaching the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, the Qianyuan Sword, as a high-grade spiritual treasure, could no longer keep up with Chen Fei’s pace.
So, taking advantage of the abundant spirituality at present, Chen Fei decided to forcibly enhance it once more.
In less than a moment, what was originally densely packed Evil beings surrounding the area had now been cleared out by more than half.
These Evil beings, born of resentment, went from wanting to escape at the beginning to becoming frantic later on. But now, with Chen Fei’s escalating slaughter of Evil beings, their madness had long disappeared.
Evil beings possess intelligence, and seeking fortune and avoiding disaster is instinctual for them.
When madness no longer serves its purpose, choosing to escape becomes almost inevitable.
But these Evil beings wanted to flee, yet Chen Fei gave them no chance at all. With each step and each strike, sometimes several Evil beings would fall. Chen Fei had only taken a dozen steps, and within a radius of several miles, the Evil beings were all eradicated.
Chen Fei pointed diagonally at the broken ruler in his hand, then turned to look to his right. At spoint, dozens of late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators had gathered there.
They looked at Chen Fei, their eyes filled with shock.
In their eyes, the Evil beings they could barely handle were easily dealt with by Chen Fei. Those Evil beings, which were enough to overwhelm them, were now all gone, slain without a trace.
The peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was undoubtedly powerful, a pursuit in the lifetof many Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.
But the level of strength exhibited by this unfamiliar late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator before them was something they could never have imagined.
Tong Linyun stood among the crowd, looking at Chen Fei from afar, filled with admiration.
Chen Fei waved his right hand, and seventy percent of the surrounding spiritual essence entered the Qianyuan Sword, while the remaining thirty percent was stuffed into the Concealment Bell.
Although the Qianyuan Sword had already greatly enhanced itself, there was simply too much spiritual essence for it to consume. At this moment, the Qianyuan Sword had fallen completely silent, all its spirituality restrained as it entered the final stage of enhancement.
For Chen Fei now, most spiritual treasures were of little use.
Chen Fei also rarely bothered to collect any particular treasures, aside from the Qianyuan Sword and the broken ruler, most of which were obtained from other Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.
Among the many spiritual treasures, the Concealment Bell possessed particularly unique effects. While its defensive capabilities were average, its ability to conceal one’s aura and figure was exceptionally strong.
Although it was slightly inferior in rank as a middle-grade spiritual treasure, why not give the surplus spiritual essence to the Concealment Bell and elevate its rank?
Feeling the surging spiritual essence, the entire body of the Concealment Bell trembled slightly, its spirituality filled with excitement.
At the level of spiritual treasures, while the spirituality nurtured may not be as intelligent as an ordinary person’s, it was not far off.
When the Concealment Bell was taken by Chen Fei initially, it was quite reluctant. After all, it had spent many years in the Thousand Yard Sect and had grown accustomed to the atmosphere of the sect’s techniques.
But Chen Fei was too strong, and the Concealment Bell had no choice.
And now, with the influx of spiritual essence, the Thousand Yard Sect? What sect was that?
In just a moment, the Concealment Bell also fell silent, beginning its transformation.
Dark energy pervaded the surroundings as Chen Fei continued to perform the Evil Temptation, his hands forming seals.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere were always sEvil beings who couldn’t make it in time. With the dense Yin energy here, Chen Fei didn’t even need to display his own energy and blood; those Evil beings would naturally be drawn over.
Several tens of miles away, at a stream, Elder Ran Xindian of the Tianya Sect stood with a sword in hand, his aura declining to the point of almost collapsing.
Ran Xindian’s expression was neither happy nor sad. Despite being on the verge of death, Ran Xindian’s state of mind remained consistent.
“To travel to the ends of the earth, to explore the ends of the earth, and to reach the ends of the earth.”
With goals and pursuits also comes the realization of one’s mortality.
This was the characteristic of the Tianya Sect’s techniques, and Ran Xindian’s own temperament was in perfect harmony with the sect’s inheritance.
Therefore, decades ago, Ran Xindian had already reached the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.
Many within the Thousand Feathers Alliance believed that Ran Xindian might becthe next Mountain Sea Realm cultivator, but so far, Ran Xindian had yet to achieve the breakthrough.
The Mountain Sea Realm was a barrier that had halted countless cultivators in their tracks.
Qin Bingxiu and his two companions looked down at Ran Xindian. Just as they were about to continue their joint effort to kill him, Qin Bingxiu’s brows furrowed slightly, and his movements paused involuntarily.
Guo Xuanji and Si Huayuan glanced at Qin Bingxiu with scuriosity. Although they had been fellow cultivators for over two hundred years, the three of them couldn’t exactly read each other’s minds. However, sometimes, expressions could reveal a lot.
“Deal with Ran Xindian first!” Qin Bingxiu muttered lowly. The next moment, a formidable sword essence pressed down towards Ran Xindian.
However, compared to the systematic approach just now, Qin Bingxiu undoubtedly appeared a bit more hurried at this moment.
Guo Xuanji and Si Huayuan nodded and continued their combined attack.
In less than fifteen minutes, Ran Xindian ultimately couldn’t withstand the siege of three peers of the slevel and fell into the stream.
Qin Bingxiu reached out and grabbed Ran Xindian’s spiritual essence, summoned the portal of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion hidden in the void, stepped through it, and arrived before the altar.
“What happened?” Si Huayuan asked in confusion.
“There were quite a few deaths among the Evil beings inside the Mysterious realm,” Qin Bingxiu said as he used his elemental energy to delineate the terrain of the entire Mysterious realm, pointing to a specific location.
Guo Xuanji and Si Huayuan remained silent. It was normal for there to be many deaths among the Evil beings; after all, the Evil beings were to be slain by Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.
In a direct confrontation, it was impossible for the Evil beings to emerge unscathed.
Qin Bingxiu was certainly aware of this fact, but the fact that he brought up this matter again indicated that something was amiss.
“However, Shen Yuanjun’s body hasn’t absorbed much spiritual essence!” Qin Bingxiu’s voice was firm.
Qin Bingxiu wouldn’t normally pay attention to how many Evil beings died inside the Mysterious realm; they were expendable, just like the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, all meant to nourish Shen Yuanjun’s body.
But now, with Evil beings dying but not contributing spiritual essence, this was absolutely unacceptable.
Without the nourishment from these Evil beings, Shen Yuanjun’s body would likely struggle to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm..
