Amidst the blood mist lies astonishing power, as the Slaughter Spirit Technique operates, majestic spiritual essence falls into Chen Fei’s hands.
Chen Fei took out the Concealment Bell and stored the spiritual essence within it.
This spiritual essence wasn’t absorbed by the Concealment Bell; rather, due to the bell’s special properties, it could better preserve this portion of spiritual essence.
The Concealment Bell trembled slightly, as it underwent a transformation into a top-grade magic treasure. At this moment, its spirituality was completely restrained, unaware of what was happening, instinctively locking away this spiritual essence.
With the energy in the blood mist depleted, Chen Fei scanned the surroundings.
The Fallen Heaven Pavilion’s gates were destroyed. Except for a few unlucky individuals who were caught in the aftermath of the battle between Chen Fei and Shen Yuanjun, others fled in panic.
Within this mysterious realm, experts from various sects in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm were besieging the disciples of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.
Having lost Tan Bingxiu, the three peak experts in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, and with Shen Yuanjun’s self-recovery, controlling all the spiritual energy within the mysterious realm, the disciples of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion were now in the same predicament as other experts in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, unable to wield spiritual energy for combat.
At this moment, with Shen Yuanjun’s demise, the natural spiritual energy of the world had returned to normal. However, the situation for the Fallen Heaven Pavilion remained unchanged, as it did for other sects.
The Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts from various sects harbored deep hatred towards the Fallen Heaven Pavilion. Previously without the opportunity, they now spared no effort to slaughter them.
The Heavenly Eye on Chen Fei’s forehead flickered incessantly. In the next moment, he disappeared from his original location, only to reappear in a strange area.
It was a jungle where a peculiar Second-tier Evil resided, hidden away.
For entities of this tier, Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts wouldn’t bother searching for them unless they were spotted.
Upon seeing Chen Fei, the entire body of the Second-tier Evil trembled, shrinking into itself, immobilized by Chen Fei’s aura.
“If we were outside, perhaps I could have truly been deceived you,” Chen Fei said softly, looking at the Evil.
Upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, the Evil continued to tremble all over, seemingly unable to understand what Chen Fei was saying, as if only fear remained in its consciousness.
“I could even discern the concealment of your original form. What do you think is the reason?”
Chen Fei shook his head and swung his rod towards the Evil before him.
This time, the Evil’s body no longer trembled. Its pale face turned towards Chen Fei, eyes filled with gloom.
“Bang!”
Without any resistance, the Evil burst into a pervasive gloom. As the Slaughter Spirit Technique operated, Chen Fei extracted a pure trace of spiritual essence from it.
Shen Yuanjun hadn’t died, or rather, his main body had died, and the remaining part had directly dispersed into the entities within the mysterious realm.
Just as Chen Fei had mentioned earlier, if it were in another place, Shen Yuanjun’s method would indeed have been challenging for Chen Fei to track down.
After all, the natural spiritual energy of the world constantly fluctuated, and his method of shedding his old self was extremely cunning, always leaving behind a portion unnoticed.
But now, within the mysterious realm, the spiritual energy of this realm was filled with Shen Yuanjun’s will. As his main body dissipated, the will within this spiritual energy began to gradually wither away.
However, some of the spiritual energy of this realm was converging towards certain areas.
This was the residual will of Shen Yuanjun within the spiritual energy of the realm, instinctively converging towards the main body. Despite being stopped immediately, Chen Fei, using his Heavenly Eye, recorded every movement of that moment.
With Chen Fei’s agile spiritual senses and his dynamic soul, the scope of the mysterious realm was easily discernible. Identifying problematic entities among them wasn’t exactly effortless, but it was certainly much simpler compared to outside.
Chen Fei’s figure began to flicker in various areas. Faced with these entities imbued with Shen Yuanjun’s will, Chen Fei didn’t waste words. As soon as he encountered them, he struck them down with his rod.
These entities were no match for Shen Yuanjun’s main body. Clearing them out was straightforward for Chen Fei, and with each one he killed, he could extract extremely pure spiritual essence from them.
Approaching the seventeenth Evil, it made no attempt to flee. Upon seeing Chen Fei, its eyes turned icy, as if it could materialize into substance.
Chen Fei smiled faintly, saying nothing more. With a swing of his rod, he completely obliterated the last problematic Evil within the mysterious realm.
At this moment, the spiritual essence contained within the Concealment Bell continued to resonate against its walls.
It reached the boundary between mountains and seas, with even the essence of spirit reaching this level.
Although the extracted spiritual essence at this moment couldn’t possibly match this level, it still reached an extremely exaggerated extent.
Furthermore, apart from the difference in quantity compared to the spiritual essence of Tan Bingxiu and his companions, there were significant differences in other aspects as well.
The spiritual essence of Shen Yuanjun, with his divine imprint, was directly severed by the Slaughter Spirit Technique.
It wasn’t that the power of the Slaughter Spirit Technique suddenly surged; it was because Shen Yuanjun’s original shell contained hardly any consciousness to begin with, in order to deceive Tan Bingxiu and his companions.
Shen Yuanjun had completely separated his body from his consciousness.
When Chen Fei exposed his revival and his consciousness returned to his body, it was because the time his consciousness spent back in his body was too short that the Slaughter Spirit Technique successfully severed his divine imprint, leaving behind extremely pure spiritual essence.
In other words, this portion of spiritual essence could be directly absorbed by Chen Fei.
This was also why Chen Fei didn’t give this portion of spiritual essence to other artifacts but kept it for himself.
“However, compared to a complete soul, there is still a part missing!” Chen Fei withdrew his perception from the Concealment Bell, his gaze flickering slightly.
Shen Yuanjun’s soul was considered flawed compared to the essence of spirit.
If it were another peak expert in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, they wouldn’t sense this issue because their understanding of the soul was shallow, or they simply lacked the ability to utilize it.
Chen Fei’s soul, on the other hand, was undoubtedly much more sensitive.
Chen Fei’s Heavenly Eye scanned all around, but within the mysterious realm, he didn’t discover the hiding place of Shen Yuanjun. This meant that the missing portion of Shen Yuanjun’s soul could possibly be outside the mysterious realm.
“Crafty as a fox, you are truly cautious!”
If it weren’t for Chen Fei appearing in this mysterious realm and breaking through to the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, the fate of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion would have been to become a stepping stone for Shen Yuanjun.
In such circumstances, Shen Yuanjun had actually, unknowingly, moved a portion of his soul outside the mysterious realm, as a final ace up his sleeve.
While Shen Yuanjun’s soul strength was insufficient, fearing detection by Tan Bingxiu and his companions, in terms of soul manipulation, he was still among the top experts in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.
Just as Chen Fei was about to retract his Heavenly Eye, his gaze suddenly paused, and he disappeared from his original location.
On a marshy ground, Chen Fei’s figure appeared in mid-air, overlooking below.
Chen Fei extended his right hand forward, and a powerful suction force emerged. The entire marshy ground trembled slightly as two apparitions drifted out.
The apparitions struggled fiercely, but in Chen Fei’s grasp, they had no resistance whatsoever.
“So, you’ve been resurrected.”
As Chen Fei looked at the apparitions of Chen Daoheng and Yan Gongli, some of his doubts were dispelled. The Minghe Record, it had to be said, was truly extraordinary.
Chen Daoheng and Yan Gongli, who were originally struggling, were stunned upon hearing these words. Did this expert at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm know them?
But why did they have no impression of this expert whatsoever?
“Elder, we…” Chen Daoheng began to plead for mercy, but before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly looked up at the sky.
Not only Chen Daoheng, but everyone in the mysterious realm at this moment subconsciously looked up at the sky. At some unknown time, a silent crack several miles long had opened in the sky.
A pair of colossal hands reached in from the outside through the fissure, prying it apart.
“Boom!”
At this moment, the entire mysterious realm resounded with a deafening roar, as if the end of the world was upon them.
“The Mountain Sea Realm!”
Chen Fei looked at the colossal hands, his gaze flickering, and at the same time, his cultivation instantly dropped to the early stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, and the mark on the back of his hand retracted as well.
In an instant, Chen Fei had restored his original appearance and aura.
Chen Daoheng and Yan Gongli sensed the change in the atmosphere before them, lowering their heads to look at Chen Fei, their eyes slowly widening.
It was Chen Fei, the person who had killed them!
Chen Daoheng and Yan Gongli were shaken to their core, understanding all the reasons behind everything.
Before they could speculate why Chen Fei had become a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert, they suddenly felt a darkness enveloping them, losing all consciousness.
Chen Fei released his right hand, and there were still traces of Evil energy in his palm.
Both resurrected individuals had barely any strength. If it were any other Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert, they might have overlooked them. However, with his Heavenly Eye, Chen Fei was too sensitive to their presence and immediately sensed them.
“Boom!”
Another earth-shattering explosion resounded, and in the reverent gazes of many, the entire mysterious realm shattered in an instant.
Chen Fei and Shen Yuanjun’s power had surpassed that of ordinary Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts. The shockwaves from their clash seemed to shatter the mysterious realm.
However, this was only temporary. The mysterious realm quickly restored itself afterward.
On the other hand, in the hands of the Mountain Sea Realm, such a sturdy mysterious realm was torn apart directly.
Inside the mysterious realm, everyone and everything, including the entities, were enveloped by a tremendous force.
Amidst the swirling chaos, everyone found themselves on an island. In the sky above, Master Haiyue overlooked them all.
Chen Fei glanced at Master Haiyue before lowering his gaze. It seemed that the clash between Chen Fei and Shen Yuanjun had exposed the aura of the mysterious realm, leading to their capture and the current situation.
Fortunately, Chen Fei had already wrapped up most of the matters. Not only had he concealed their aura, but he had also used his soul to eliminate the marks he left in the void.
One day later, Chen Fei appeared within Thousand Feathers City.
The appearance of the peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert in the mysterious realm became the most mysterious part of this incident.
Despite questioning all the Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts within the mysterious realm multiple times, they ultimately gained nothing.
Within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, many sects were in a state of gloom and despair.
Having escaped the disaster in Sea Dominion City, they didn’t expect to suffer defeat in the battle at the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.
Ten days later, many Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts left Thousand Feathers City. Chen Fei and Tong Linyun took advantage of this exodus and returned to the Sea Peak City.
The battle at the Fallen Heaven Pavilion had spread throughout the entire Thousand Feathers Alliance.
Chen Fei’s safe return brought great relief to everyone in the Primordial Sword Sect. After all, hearing that even several peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts had died, there was considerable concern for Chen Fei’s stability in the later stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm..
