Spirit Vessel

"Ah, a seventh-ranked spirit treasure, I see. This hammer of mine is probably more powerful than a seventh rank, it's just sealed right now." Shi Dakai smiled innocently, borderline gloating while swinging the hammer around.

This weapon was used by a Heaven's Emergence expert before. It was definitely at the seventh rank or higher.

"Rumble!" Another group of white spider demons fled in this direction to get away from the lava.

There were more than a thousand. Their march issued chilling noises. Each was more than a meter tall with a bright shell and demonic energy. Their eyes were red and murderous as they spewed out webs.

"Soulseal Lock!" Feiyun took out an ancient ring. It became larger and floated in the sky, issuing waves capable of assaulting the soul.

It was a seventh-ranked spirit treasure taken from one of his hostages. It was powerful, able to unleash a fifty-sixfold attack. The sky turned white and started morphing downward, trapping the spiders.

"Boom!" He then shot out flames and aimed them at the webs, starting an inferno.

The spider demons retaliated with their own weapons. The waves and pulsing spirit energies were blinding, enough to crush the area.

Feiyun quickly retreated after seeing this while throwing out his final fire talisman. They cost 300,000 spirit stones each so it pained him to use them.

"Boom!" The talisman exploded into an inferno, flying straight towards the spiders.

They assumed a defensive position to stop the inferno but the weaker demons were reduced to ashes. Several hundred died just like that.

"My points!" Feiyun put on the demon leather and grabbed a Heaven's Emergence talisman, rushing towards the horde in order to gather the corpses.

"Boom!" He unleashed a white radiance as bright as the stars, instantly repelling a third-level demon as if he was knocking down a defenseless scarecrow.

Seven second-level demons attacked from behind; their legs looked like divine blades.

"Die." Feiyun swung his hand back and released the power of the talisman, destroying the seven.

He fought while gathering corpses from the lava. There were too many to count at this point.

A humanoid demon showed up above him. She wore white armor and had a river of demonic energy beneath her feet. Her long hair was fluttering upward; her skin had a circulating glow.

Feiyun felt a massive pressure as if a mountain was ready to push down on him.

"Why is that ring in your possession? Where is Princess Feiyuan?" The demon's aura materialized and pushed down on Feiyun.

"Princess my ass!" Feiyun used the demonic leather piece to shoot out a blinding beam.

This ring was taken from one of the demonesses. Though she was a captain, she was definitely not a princess.

Why would a princess be part of the scouting team? Nonetheless, he felt that she certainly had a considerable background because she had a seal created by a great demon in her mind. Ordinary demons didn't have this privilege.

The female demon only made this claim so that in the case of Feiyun being able to escape, he would be deterred from killing the "princess".

"You're courting death!" The demon summoned a sword and held it with both hands for a direct vertical slash.

It cut off a corner of the demon leather. The character on it dimmed down as well despite being written by a Heaven's Emergence demon.

'Shit, a fourth-level demon!' Feiyun immediately realized her cultivation after seeing this attack.

In Sixth Central, fourth-level cultivators could become ancestors of ancient clans. Each level in Nirvana was immensely more powerful than the previous.

A fourth-level cultivator was qualified to break through to Heaven's Emergence.

This demon went on to destroy the leather skin and its character.

Meanwhile, Lord Kong Hou was nowhere to be found. The other elites were busy as well so no one could help him.

'These damned commanders, they didn't kill all the third-levels and up, this is problematic.'

A fourth-level had immense destructive potential, capable of killing all the elites at the border of the ocean of lava.

Feiyun used Swift Samsara to disappear into the ground, wanting to escape.

"Trying to run?" The demon followed right behind him with incredible agility. She swung her sword, releasing long slashes spanning for hundreds of miles.

'I shouldn't have sent the turtle into the kingdom.'

These sword energies were sharp enough to cut rocks like tofu.

He used a defensive talisman and created three barriers around him.

"Boom! Boom!" The sword energies took down two barriers in no time at all, managing to inch through to Feiyun.

He was injured but took advantage of the blast to propel himself forward.

The demon was fast enough to catch up to him even though he was using Swift Samsara.

He placed a Kun Peng talisman on his thigh and tripled his speed despite being underground.

"Whoosh!" Another sword energy cut through his final barrier along with the back of his robe, leaving behind a dripping wound.

"Damn you, if I catch you, I'll strip your clothes off!" Feiyun cursed.

In order to get away, he had used one defensive and one Kun Peng talisman. These are worth several hundred thousand stones - more than enough to drink and sleep with even Nirvana female cultivators for days back at a city in Happiness Sacred Ground.

Due to their speed, they were extremely far away from the previous battlefield.

Feiyun broke through the ground and returned to the surface, putting on his dragon-phoenix armor. His aura erupted in a majestic and heroic fashion.

The female demon did the same. There was not one speck of dust on her body. Her white hair draped downward like a waterfall.

She unleashed another vertical slash without showing any mercy.

As for Feiyun, his power increased by a large margin after putting on his armor. He turned his weapon essence into a white spear and thrust forward to stop the slash.

As the tip of his spear touched the blade, his hand quaked violently. He thought that he was going to lose his fingers.

The gap in cultivation was too great. The fourth level far exceeded anything below.

Back in the half-demon alliance, there were more than ten third-level elders in each domain. But as for a fourth-level? They were treated like treasures for being so powerful.

He was on the losing side despite using his ace card; his palm nearly ripped to shreds. He leaped several miles backward before stopping.

Meanwhile, the demon's eyes had ripples of astonishment coursing through them. She couldn't believe that her opponent could actually stop her slash.

"Sword Rain!" Feiyun's weapon essence turned into several thousand white swords, each around the size of a fist.

"Mythical Sword Domain!" The demon's sword grew to be three hundred meters long, turning into a mountain. It released an impressive sword intent to form a domain in the air.

The flying swords were affected by this sword intent and couldn't make it through.

Cultivators at the fourth level could start creating their own "domain". With a domain, there was no way they would lose to a weaker cultivator.
