After Chen Fei left, Su Ran became very cautious. She was now in the core area, where spiritualists roamed, with the weakest ones being sixth-grade True Spiritualists, and many others being ninth-grade True Spiritualists. Ninth-grade True Spiritualists were just one step away from becoming Immortal Spiritualists. Even within the Qinling mountain range, they were considered true powerhouses, the pillars of strength.
These powerful beings had exceptional sensory abilities, possibly weaker than Chen Fei’s unique spirit cat sense, but not by much. If such a powerful being accidentally detected her presence and discovered she carried the Phoenix bloodline legacy, it could attract someone as greedy as Ye Chenxing, making her situation even more dangerous.
The Phoenix phantom emerged, beginning to devour the essence of the illusion beasts left behind. Su Ran was anxious, hoping to fully awaken her Phoenix bloodline as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Chen Fei was moving at great speed. When Ye Chenyi was about two thousand meters away from Su Ran, he blocked Ye Chenyi’s path.
“Chen Yang, you dare show yourself?”
“You think I can’t kill you?”
When Ye Chenyi saw Chen Fei, he immediately understood Chen Fei’s intentions. However, to him, it seemed like the other party was seeking death.
With his strength as a sixth-grade True Spiritualist and his methods as a spirit technique master, if Chen Fei wanted to escape, Ye Chenyi might not be able to kill him. But if Chen Fei intended to stop him, Ye Chenyi saw it as an act of suicide.
As he spoke, Ye Chenyi once again activated his demonic power, transforming into a three-meter tall half-demon form. Towering black light surged, sweeping toward Chen Fei.
“Kill me?”
“Unless you use all your demonic energy.”
“But, do you dare?”
Chen Fei sneered. When he saw Ye Chenyi transform, he didn’t hesitate to activate the Void Sky Cauldron inside him.
Using martial spiritualist techniques to counter demonic power was inherently disadvantageous because spiritual energy was suppressed by demonic energy, significantly weakening one’s power. Thus, with previous experience, Chen Fei didn’t choose to use martial techniques this time but instead immediately opened his sea of consciousness. Using the Void Sky Cauldron as a conduit, he converted all of his surrounding spiritual energy into temporary spiritual power.
As the conversion took place, Chen Fei’s aura became more subtle. He seemed like an ordinary, well-built human instead of a spiritualist. While the fluctuations of his spiritual energy diminished, he became harder to perceive, almost as if he were no longer a physical being but an invisible existence.
This change astonished Ye Chenyi once again.
“What kind of method is this?”
“How many stages of a spiritual technique master are you?”
Ye Chenyi was confused, unable to see through Chen Fei’s true form. He felt that Chen Fei had used some forbidden technique, likely originating from Su Ran.
Chen Fei didn’t explain, but after converting his spiritual energy into mental power, his presence became even more mysterious.
Within his sea of consciousness, the spiritual energy converted into mental power quickly formed another misty light ball. Each light ball represented a stage in spiritual technique mastery, and one ball meant a hundred-stage mastery.
Originally, Chen Fei had already reached two hundred stages of spiritual technique mastery, with two misty light balls in his sea of consciousness. However, after awakening his fire talent, his mental power had strengthened, reducing his level from two hundred to one hundred stages of spiritual mastery.
Though his stage of mastery decreased, his mental power was greatly enhanced, bringing his strength to the equivalent of a three-hundred-stage spiritual technique master.
Now, with two more misty light balls in his sea of consciousness, his spiritual technique master level had once again increased dramatically.
Chen Fei estimated that his current spiritual technique mastery was at least four hundred stages, possibly reaching five hundred. However, he had no experience fighting spiritual technique masters, so he wasn’t sure about the specifics of his strength.
Moreover, with five hundred stages of spiritual mastery, he wasn’t certain how it compared to the strength of True Spiritualists, since spiritual technique masters and martial spiritualists have different sources of power. The former derives from mental power, drawing spiritual energy from the world through techniques, while the latter relies on energy from the dantian and martial techniques.
“Fireball Technique!”
Chen Fei focused his mind, using the Fireball Technique. The mental power from his sea of consciousness entered the Void Sky Cauldron and was released from there. At this moment, he clearly sensed a shift in the surrounding world.
He was astonished as he discovered that the world around him now appeared in three distinct layers of space.
The upper layer was a dazzling rainbow of light, distant and unreachable. The middle layer was clear and ethereal, shifting unpredictably. The lower layer was murky and oppressive, evoking fear.
Within these three layers, he sensed three different energies that seemed to dominate the world, providing the spiritual technique master with power.
This strange discovery left Chen Fei in awe. He had never realized that while the physical world and the mental perception of the world were the same, they felt drastically different.
But Chen Fei didn’t have time to dwell on this. He needed to focus on confronting the powerful Ye Chenyi, so he couldn’t afford to explore this unknown further.
With the three-layered space amplifying his power, the Fireball Technique’s strength had greatly increased. The previous fireball could only create a small opening for him to escape. Now, the fireball turned into a vast inferno, expanding from him in all directions like a raging wildfire.
Each place the fire touched drained the surrounding spiritual energy, and within moments, the fire spread a thousand meters. Even the most resilient grasses couldn’t withstand the burning heat and were quickly scorched.
Ye Chenyi, caught in the firestorm, desperately activated his black demonic energy to resist the flames and prevent them from burning him. After a frantic effort, he finally managed to stop the fire, holding it back at a distance of ten meters. But this was his limit.
Attempting to approach the center of the firestorm, Ye Chenyi felt the pressure intensify with every step. After just three steps, he couldn’t go any further, trapped by the firestorm.
“What kind of power is this?”
“Seven hundred stages of spiritual technique mastery?”
“No, if it were seven hundred stages, even my demonic energy would struggle to resist this fire.”
“Between six hundred and seven hundred stages of spiritual technique mastery!”
Ye Chenyi deduced Chen Fei’s strength, feeling a growing sense of unease.
