Chen Fei had heard little about demon lords, only knowing that their cultivation was evil and rejected by the world.
The Qinling Mountains were both feared and respected because they were naturally powerful, and their leader was the one who fought demons and protected the way of the righteous.
The first time he encountered a demon lord, Chen Fei was caught off guard. His first thought was to flee. But the distance between them was so short that he couldn’t escape in time.
Before him, Ye Chenyi, who had transformed into a half-human, half-demon form, threw away the long sword in his hand. His physical body was his greatest weapon.
With a single palm strike, the wind howled. The grass was bent under the pressure, and black radiance surged. It had a natural corrosive property that made the surrounding grass wither and crumble in an instant.
Chen Fei’s spiritual power was pure and strong, but when it met this black radiance, it felt as though it were being scorched. It was as if his spiritual power was inherently restrained by the black light, making his full strength insufficient.
This realization sent a chill down his spine. No wonder people feared demon lords. The natural suppression of spiritual power left little chance for victory in a battle of equal level.
Boom!
A loud crash echoed as Chen Fei was sent flying. He slid across the grassy ground for nearly a hundred meters before coming to a stop. The protective spiritual barrier around his body shattered instantly.
Ye Chenyi didn’t pause. After sending Chen Fei flying and breaking his defense, he lunged forward like an arrow, using his hand as a sword to stab at Chen Fei’s chest.
Chen Fei slammed his hand into the ground, propelling himself into the air. He no longer hesitated, activating the Xutian Cauldron and the Thousand Illusions Slash martial skill, combined with his Dragon Transformation talent, launching a fierce strike.
The sword light resembled the silver gleam of a lake, layered upon layer, slashing downward toward Ye Chenyi.
Boom!
Another loud crash resounded.
The cascading sword shadows bombarded Ye Chenyi’s hands but were all devoured by the black radiance, failing to harm him. The impact only caused the ground beneath him to crack.
“Sixth-grade True Spirit Master power!”
“Looks like I underestimated you!” Ye Chenyi was taken aback. He had not expected this strike to be so strong and muttered, “Unfortunately, you’re not a Seventh-grade True Spirit Master. You cannot break my Demon Drive.”
Ye Chenyi spoke without stopping, stomping hard on the ground. His massive form soared into the air, stepping as if walking on a green carpet. He then struck at Chen Fei, who was still hovering above.
Boom!
The air trembled with a deafening sound as a giant palm wrapped in black radiance shot down like a mountain, aiming directly at Chen Fei.
Chen Fei swung his sword to strike, but once again, he was sent flying with a violent crash. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his muscles ached as though they were being eroded by demonic energy.
“Seventh-grade True Spirit Master strength!”
Chen Fei deduced that Ye Chenyi’s strength had surpassed the Seventh-grade True Spirit Master level. Even if he relied on the Xutian Cauldron to transform into a pure martial spirit master and enhanced his power using the spiritual energy in his sea of consciousness, he would likely be suppressed by Ye Chenyi.
“No wonder he dares to fight me alone.”
“Looks like Ye Chenxing is not here.”
Chen Fei had come to a realization, not only from the test results but also from discovering that Ye Chenyi had cultivated demonic energy. Continuing this battle would likely lead to his own death. He needed to end the fight quickly.
“Trying to escape?”
“You’re too late!”
Ye Chenyi saw through Chen Fei’s intentions and would not give him the chance to flee. As he spoke, he activated the black radiance, which enveloped him in an aura so fast that Chen Fei barely had time to react. Ye Chenyi launched another deadly strike.
The black radiance surged, blocking the space around Chen Fei, and the decaying aura felt as though it came from the depths of the earth, bringing a cold, bone-chilling chill.
Chen Fei activated all his spiritual energy to resist, but he could not stop the oppressive black light that continued to press in.
“Fireball Technique!”
Chen Fei made hand signs and shouted, releasing his spiritual power from his sea of consciousness through the Xutian Cauldron. A flash of fire appeared in front of him, and with the burning spiritual energy, it expanded into a massive blaze that spread in all directions.
Under the scorching flames, the black radiance no longer seemed as effective against spiritual energy, creating an opening through which Chen Fei could escape.
Using his Phantom Step, Chen Fei transformed into a shadow and escaped from the blockade. Without looking back, he dashed into the distance.
“A Spiritual Technique Master?”
“Chen Fei is still a Spiritual Technique Master?”
Ye Chenyi was stunned, unable to believe what he was seeing. He quickly followed, activating the black radiance to pursue.
Seeing that the Fireball Technique was effective against the black light, Chen Fei cast it again to block Ye Chenyi’s path while he swiftly fled.
Despite Ye Chenyi’s full pursuit, he was still slightly slower. Chen Fei managed to vanish into the grass over a thousand meters away, disappearing from Ye Chenyi’s sight.
“Run away?”
“Let’s see how far you can go.”
Ye Chenyi stopped chasing and sneered, retracting the magic energy and descending into the grass. He no longer needed to pursue, as long as he locked onto Su Ran’s trace, he would catch up.
Even though he knew Chen Fei was a Spiritual Technique Master with enhanced strength, Ye Chenyi remained unflustered, confident in his victory.
His demonic energy was not limited to what he had shown so far. In fact, when facing Chen Fei, he had only used a fraction of its power.
As a First-grade True Spirit Master, Chen Fei now possessed the strength of a Seventh-grade True Spirit Master, which even the demonic energy could not accomplish without a cost.
Ye Chenyi used himself as the vessel for cultivating demonic energy. When he initially activated it, he gained the power of a Seventh-grade True Spirit Master, but after nine uses, the demonic energy would backfire and kill him.
In addition, he could activate the demonic energy one more time, and his power would rise to the level of a Ninth-grade True Spirit Master. However, once he did this, even if he didn’t end his transformation into a demon, the demonic energy would eventually backfire, and he would become a sacrifice to it.
At this moment, Chen Fei, unaware of these facts, quickly met up with Su Ran to inform her of the situation.
Through his spiritual senses, Chen Fei confirmed that Su Ran was safe and that Ye Chenxing was not present. The one chasing them was Ye Chenyi, the half-demon who had fallen into the demonic path.
Soon, Chen Fei met up with Su Ran and shared the information about Ye Chenyi’s cultivation of demonic energy and his transformation into a half-demon.
“The one chasing us should only be Ye Chenyi.”
“Ye Chenxing didn’t show up.”
“What should we do?”
Facing the evil demonic energy, Chen Fei turned to Su Ran for advice.
After listening to Chen Fei’s account, Su Ran understood everything and said, “Ye Chenyi must have cultivated the ‘Blood Break Demon Technique,’ using his own blood to nourish a magic weapon. This allowed him to break through in a short time and gain such formidable power.”
“Blood Break Demon Technique?”
“Nourishing a magic weapon?”
Chen Fei immediately understood. The real power was not in Ye Chenyi but in the magic weapon itself.
