After Chen Fei hunted the幻獸 (Illusion Beast), he did not linger but instead directly made his way towards Ye Chenyu, aiming to buy Su Jun time to refine the essence of the beast.
Su Jun watched Chen Fei’s unwavering figure, her heart heavy with sorrow, but she was helpless.
This was the eighth time! This time, it was highly likely that Ye Chenyu had reached his limit, unable to control the magic artifact any longer. The artifact would backlash and force him to activate its full power, leading to the death of Chen Fei.
Su Jun had considered it—if there was no escaping this fate, then she would face Ye Chenyu alongside Chen Fei and die together, so that their shared fate would be honored.
But in the end, she held back! It wasn’t that she feared death, but she didn’t want Ye Chenxing to exchange their lives so easily with just one Ye Chenyu and a magic artifact.
If Chen Fei died, she would seek revenge on Ye Chenxing—death was certain!
“Chen Fei, meeting you is my blessing!”
“But meeting me, you’ve brought misfortune upon yourself!”
Su Jun focused entirely on absorbing the幻獸’s essence. The Phoenix illusion had already experienced a substantial improvement compared to when it first entered. With her strength fully exerted, she had the mid-level power of a 7th-grade True Spirit Master. If she resorted to forbidden techniques, she might even surpass the mid-level 8th-grade.
However, facing Ye Chenyu, who wielded the Blood Demon Art, no matter how hard she fought, she was no match for him.
“Hold on!”
“If we can somehow survive this, together we might be able to defeat Ye Chenyu.”
Su Jun’s heart was filled with unease as she clung to a slim hope, absorbing the幻獸’s essence.
Soon, Chen Fei’s figure disappeared from Su Jun’s sensing range, and her heart instantly skipped a beat as if suspended in mid-air.
Chen Fei appeared before Ye Chenyu again, blocking his way and forcing him to activate the Blood Demon Art!
“Chen Yang, I have a premonition that this time, you will die by my hand,” Ye Chenyu said, his tone heavy. He hadn’t been able to wait for Ye Chenxing, which meant he might truly never get the chance to personally cripple Su Jun, the demoness.
Chen Fei furrowed his brow. This time, Ye Chenyu had transformed into a half-demon form, his black aura more violent and potent than ever.
This could only mean that Ye Chenyu was losing control over the magic artifact, and once the artifact invaded his consciousness, it would signal his end.
“If I can use my life to protect Su Jun and destroy your ambitions, it will be a contribution to the people of Huangwu City.”
“Come then!”
“I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time!”
Chen Fei was already mentally prepared to die in battle.
As he spoke, Chen Fei again activated the Fireball Technique. A sea of fire engulfed the area, and the Three-Colored World resonated with it, forming a range of red light that covered a 500-meter radius.
“What’s that?”
“A Spirit Technique Master?”
“Also, an Evil Cultivator?”
A man in gray clothes, 4,000 meters away from where Chen Fei and Ye Chenyu were, noticed the powerful energy fluctuations. His sharp senses allowed him to detect the presence of the two.
Despite the great distance, the man could sense their presence, showing just how formidable his strength was.
The man in gray did not approach immediately. Instead, he observed the situation from a distance, seemingly trying to identify the two individuals and understand how they managed to enter the secret realm.
Unfortunately, the man did not recognize Chen Fei or Ye Chenyu.
“How did such powerful figures sneak into the secret realm?” The man in gray was surprised. As a top-tier expert from the Qinling, a 9th-grade peak True Spirit Master with the potential to break through to the Dao, he considered himself well-informed about the experts in the secret realm. However, he had never encountered these two before.
Not intending to intervene yet, the man in gray chose to watch from the sidelines and follow, hoping to learn more about their origins and how they managed to infiltrate the secret realm.
At this moment, Chen Fei was aware of the Three-Colored World. He spread the Fireball Technique to trap Ye Chenyu, preventing him from advancing further, and buying Su Jun more time to refine the essence of the幻獸.
This time, Chen Fei did not use the Xutian Cauldron to convert spiritual energy into mental power. The Fireball Technique he unleashed was powerful enough to demonstrate the strength of a 7th-grade True Spirit Master. If he used the Xutian Cauldron, his battle strength could surpass the 8th-grade True Spirit Master level.
But even so, he was still no match for the fully demonized Ye Chenyu.
Therefore, Chen Fei was stalling, putting pressure on Ye Chenyu, and buying time. The longer he could hold out, the greater their chances of survival.
Ye Chenyu, trapped within the sea of flames, was doing his best to suppress the demon aura within him, trying not to exhaust his potential while waiting for Ye Chenxing’s arrival.
However, with the ongoing deadlock, the fragile balance finally shattered!
“Ah!” Ye Chenyu suddenly let out a painful roar, and his body released an even more explosive black aura. He appeared like a beast on the verge of losing control, his face contorted with pain as veins bulged on his skin, and blood mixed with dark demonic energy leaked from him.
“Chen Yang, if you don’t leave now, it will be too late!” Although Ye Chenyu was in pain, his consciousness remained intact. He hoped Chen Fei would retreat, but if he didn’t, Ye Chenyu would have no choice but to activate the full power of the magic artifact, risking everything.
Chen Fei was startled. As Su Jun had predicted, Ye Chenyu’s aptitude and strength could not withstand the full force of the magic artifact for the ninth time.
This eighth time had barely started, and Ye Chenyu was already close to losing control.
Leave? He couldn’t leave!
“Who told you I’m leaving?”
“I’ve been waiting for this moment!”
“I’m very curious to see just how strong the magic artifact is under the Blood Demon Art. Can it really have the strength of a 9th-grade True Spirit Master?”
Chen Fei couldn’t leave, nor did he want to. He needed to buy time for Su Jun.
With a thought, Chen Fei’s Xutian Cauldron shook, and an immense amount of spiritual energy was converted into mental power.
In his Sea of Consciousness, Chen Fei’s three foggy cauldrons appeared, and the fourth one flickered with a faint light.
As his mental power surged, his aura underwent a noticeable change, becoming more mysterious and unpredictable.
“Since that’s the case, come and die with me!” Seeing that Chen Fei wasn’t retreating but his aura had become even more unfathomable, Ye Chenyu realized this was their final battle.
With no more hopes for mercy, Ye Chenyu decided to give it his all and wipe out Chen Fei once and for all, clearing the path for his brother.
“Qi Yu, enslave the demon!”
“Crush all!”
With Ye Chenyu’s roar, he pushed the Blood Demon Art to its extreme. The magic artifact within him activated, and complex patterns began to glow on his body.
