Faced with the combined assault of four Half-Step Dao Realm experts, Chen Fei remained unfazed. In an instant, the aura around him transformed—he had become a Half-Step Dao Realm Spirit Art Master.
His axe-type Spirit Treasure flew out from his Sea of Consciousness. With a thought, the massive axe manifested in his hand.
“Looking for a beating?”
With a low shout, Chen Fei hurled the axe at the four Half-Step Dao Realm powerhouses.
Though the axe appeared simple, it held a terrifying might. The moment it struck, it shattered all the martial techniques and spell arts the four had unleashed with ease.
The power of this Spirit Weapon had already surpassed that of a newly advanced Dao Realm Spirit Art Master. The energy it exuded was something no Half-Step Dao Realm cultivator could withstand.
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed through the sixth layer of the time-space realm. The four cultivators were blasted away by the sheer force.
For a moment, Qin Ling and the others were stunned, disbelief written all over their faces.
“How can he be this powerful?”
“This strength… even a true Dao Realm expert might not be any stronger!”
They had assumed that even if the four of them couldn’t defeat Chen Fei, they could at least stall him long enough for Qin Heng and the others to arrive and seize the Dao Realm-tier treasure.
But reality hit them hard. Chen Fei’s overwhelming strength completely shattered their expectations and their lingering hope.
Even together, they were no match for him—defeated in a single exchange, blood spilling from their mouths.
When Qin Heng and his group arrived and saw the scene, their expressions darkened. They had never imagined that despite being Half-Step Dao Realm as well, the power gap could be so massive.
“There’s no chance now.”
“No one can stop Chen Fei.”
The crowd was in awe, abandoning any desire to compete for the treasures here. None dared to provoke Chen Fei further.
Chen Fei’s gaze remained sharp, locked onto Qin Ling and the others. If any of them dared to make a move, he wouldn’t show mercy.
“Brother Chen Fei, you are truly formidable!”
“We admit defeat!”
The four leading Half-Step Dao Realm cultivators cupped their fists and left, heading to the fifth layer to fight for other opportunities.
Once the others had left, Chen Fei began collecting the treasures scattered throughout this place. In total, there were nine rare items—eight of Half-Step Dao Realm level, and one, the Green Glow Spirit Core, was a true Dao Realm-tier treasure.
“My wife should be fine, right?”
“With so many rare items, they should be enough to fully awaken her bloodline.”
Chen Fei looked at the treasures in his hand but had no intention of refining them all—he only planned to use the Green Glow Spirit Core, saving the rest for Su Ran.
Without delay, he sat down cross-legged and began refining the Green Glow Spirit Core in hopes of breaking through.
Though he was a Half-Step Dao Realm Spirit Art Master, he was also a peak Ninth-Rank Martial Spirit Master. His cultivation path could proceed either way—towards the Spirit Art path or the Martial Spirit path.
Others might struggle with such a choice, but not him. He believed the Void Heaven Cauldron was his greatest reliance, so he chose to strengthen it without hesitation.
As for his Spirit Art achievements, they were largely thanks to Qin Meng’s legacy, which had helped him step into Half-Step Dao Realm earlier.
Now, Chen Fei activated the Void Heaven Cauldron to absorb and refine the Green Glow Spirit Core. Pure spiritual energy surged forth, devoured by the cauldron.
Just as he expected, with the help of this Dao Realm-tier resource, the spiritual power within his body began a fundamental transformation.
In his dantian, the Void Heaven Cauldron floated mid-air. With all the spiritual power converging, it formed a vortex, spinning rapidly, beginning to take shape—like turning illusion into reality.
Finally, under the activation of the Myriad Dao Art, he manifested the foundation of a Martial Spirit Master: the Dao Body Spirit.
The Dao Body Spirit looked exactly like the Void Heaven Cauldron, engraved with numerous Dao Marks.
As it appeared, the Void Heaven Cauldron instantly merged into it. The two became one.
At that moment, a mysterious force flowed from the Dao Body Spirit, a restorative power that healed his broken dantian. Strength surged outward, flowing through his entire body—enhancing his organs, bones, meridians, muscles, and blood.
Even his gouged-out eyes began to regenerate under this energy’s nourishment.
Finally, when his vision returned, Chen Fei felt tears welling in his newly restored eyes. He removed his glasses, revealing clear, bright eyes.
“I can see again!”
“Qin Shuang, wait for me. I’ll come find you at Silver Moon Academy soon.”
“I wonder, when you see me again, what kind of expression will you have?”
“Will you regret betraying me?”
Chen Fei was overwhelmed with emotion. He had officially stepped into the Half-Step Dao Realm as a Martial Spirit Master, forming his own Dao Body.
At the same time, his weapon—Thousand Phantom Slash—underwent a transformation, increasing its power amplification to the maximum: fifteenfold.
Now, his physical strength was greater than ever. His body alone could easily break ordinary weapons.
“I made the right choice. The Martial Spirit path is my true road—not the Spirit Art path Su Ran suggested.”
He muttered to himself. Even without his Spirit Weapon, with the fifteenfold power boost of Thousand Phantom Slash, he now wielded strength beyond even that weapon.
With the Void Heaven Cauldron and the Dao Body merged, energy continuously nourished his body. The Dao Marks etched into the Dao Body drew in unique energies, constantly enhancing it.
Even without actively cultivating, refining treasures, or taking elixirs, he could feel it—within a year, he would naturally step into the true Dao Realm.
Chen Fei left the palace. He didn’t compete for the other layers’ resources, instead quietly awaiting the end of the secret realm’s trial—and his beloved’s return.
But unbeknownst to him, a shocking change was already silently unfolding in Yellow Mist City.
The mist that had long shrouded the skies above the city was now overrun with a dark aura. Those inside the city couldn’t sense it—but those outside could see it clearly.
“A sacrificial curse!”
“An evil cultivator is targeting the city’s souls—intending to sacrifice the entire population!”
Someone outside the city, intending to enter, caught a glimpse of this horrifying sight. Terrified, they immediately turned back and fled, spreading the news of the calamity that had befallen Yellow Mist City.
