Spirit Vessel

Feng Feiyun pointed at an area between a plain and a mountain range. Lava flowed like rivers here, painting the sky red.

“According to my calculation, this second continent is about 76,000,000 miles from north to south and 10,000,000 miles from east to west, comparable to a realm from a human kingdom.”

“There’s no vegetation here. 80% of the land is rocky, 10% is covered in lava rivers. How many demons are hiding here? We have no idea. But if we just look at the geographical distribution, we can make educated guesses regarding the place with the highest concentration of demons.”

“What should we do now?” Yu Dai asked.

“It’s best to stay put. Given our power, any large group will decimate us.” Feiyun pondered.

“Then how will we return? Only the four commanders have worm-hole stones.” She asked.

The battlefield was too dangerous with perils everywhere. This rendered sleeping and eating impossible; she was always on edge and didn’t want to linger here any longer.

“I can take you back right now if you want. But, what did we come here for? Glory, contribution points, and respect. We are the elites chosen from countless half-demons. We represent our race yet you already want to leave after the first day. No wonder why they look down on us.” Feiyun stared at her.

“That’s not what I meant. I’m saying that without the guidance of the commanders, we’re just too weak to do anything, not even against one group of demons.” She awkwardly said while twirling her hair.

This was rather reasonable. Being a hero was foolish on this battlefield. Even the demons who ran here always stayed in groups.

Feiyun pondered for a bit and said: “From our experiences so far, we can see that there are two demon tribes in the nearby region, wolf-tiger and white spider. We’ve met the patrols so far, their lairs shouldn’t be too far away.”

He observed the map and guessed the locations of the lairs using the previous movements and habits.

“White spiders are afraid of fire so they should be far away from the lava rivers. They’re agile, masters of formations and illusions. Those at the third level can assume humanoid form. The women are beautiful and the men handsome, extremely seductive. I feel that their lair might be in the mountain range right behind us.”

In the next several days, Feiyun wore his phoenix-dragon leather armor while being on a scouting mission. He entered the mountain range and finally noticed hidden formations on the fifth day.

He hid on top of a cliff and waited until nightfall. Ripples appeared in space and dozens of formations activated.

Numerous female demons walked out - all had great figures and long, white hair. Their eyes were white with strange rays as well.

The leader was a tall and slender woman, wearing a jewel in her hair. She had a cold expression as she said: “Lord Xuelong has calculated that there are six human groups here now. We will divide into six groups to find them.”

The girls automatically divided themselves into six groups of ten or so.

They turned into white spiders and entered the rocky land of red, disappearing from sight.

“Some contribution points, finally.” Feiyun smirked and chased after one group.

This one had eight members. They utilized their movement arts to travel underground, not dispersing any aura.

Feiyun was right behind them and stealthily summoned his stone coffin. He snuck behind and sucked one of them in before closing the lid.

He had formations up so the cries of this demon couldn’t be heard by the seven in front.

“Whoosh!” He did the same to the second.

These demons could transform so they would fetch a high price on the black market in Sixth Central.

He did it again five more times before the strongest one in front realized: “Who?!”

This demon was at the peak of the third level. It swung its leg and divided the ground into two halves, pushing the stone coffin back.

“Boom!” Feiyun was still working on the seventh one, not expecting the last to be so powerful.

The coffin smashed his chest and sent him flying for several miles, breaking numerous rocks in the process.

The spider came again and used one leg like a blade, aiming for his neck.

“Boom!” Feiyun reached into his chest pocket and grabbed the turtle, using its shell to stop the slash.

Nonetheless, the remnant power sent him flying again.

This spider was as strong as the Sacred Palace Lord back in Jin. It spewed out white webs in a murderous manner.

“Lowly demon, enough!” Crimson feathers appeared on Feiyun’s arm before it turned into a phoenix claw.

The fiery claw incinerated the spider webs and sent the demon flying into the ground.

Feiyun landed down and reversed his armor. A mighty aura erupted.

The front side of the armor was dragon-scale and phoenix-skin, the other side was made from the invisible cloak. One was meant for fighting while the other was meant for stealth.

“Phoenix Incineration!!” Feiyun used this technique for the second time, wanting to win as fast as possible in order to not alarm stronger spider demons back in the lair nearby.

This spider wasn’t weak. It transformed into a naked beauty - snow-white skin with voluptuous breasts and round buttocks, a sexy navel as well.

A ring flew out of her finger - Soulseal Ring.

This seventh-ranked spirit treasure turned into a great loop with a massive demonic aura, ready to suppress Feiyun’s soul.

“Boom!” Feiyun’s eyes were filled with determination. He summoned the weapon essence and turned it into several thousand flying swords for an attack.

The spider demon was agile and used a special movement technique. It danced forward through the rain of swords, completely untouched.

“Wretched human, you think you’ll become the master of this realm just by occupying it? Stop dreaming.” Its slender hand reached for Feiyun’s heart.

Feiyun shook his head and took out the demon leather prior, aiming it at her head. A power exploded and immobilized the demon.

He then rolled it into a bundle and carried it on his back. The demon inside struggled to break free. Unfortunately, this was impossible.

The suppressive force became stronger as she became weaker.

“Big breasts and no brain. Daring to get close to me? This is the result of being careless.” Feiyun shook his head and grabbed the floating ring. This was a seventh-ranked spirit treasure, not bad at all.

“Whoosh!” Suddenly, a beam from several thousand miles away surged closer.

“Shit, a great demon in the lair!” Feiyun felt his hair standing on end and his eyes narrowed. He used ten defensive talismans before drilling into the ground, putting a Kun Peng speed talisman on his thigh to flee faster.

The beam managed to pierce through the defensive talismans and struck where Feiyun was standing, resulting in a bottomless abyss.

At the same time, thousands of white spider demons rushed out of the lair to search for him.

The sky became engulfed with demonic energy. The red rocks turned red and earthquakes happened continuously.

The army of an ancient clan that has just gotten here became frightened by the demonic horde.

“Fuck, why are there so many demons in this high-level realm? This is the worst!”
