Spirit Vessel

Vastsky Territory, Nine-abyss Platform.

This was a single boulder located all alone in the wilderness, dozens of times larger than a mountain. Its surface was flat and smooth.

The moon added a silver layer to it. When looking down from above, it resembled a round lake with silver water.

"Whoosh!" The formation portal lit up.

Feiyun and Xuanyuan Yiyi appeared on the boulder. Cold winds immediately greeted them.

"How desolate." Feiyun looked around and commented.

"This portal is rarely used. The reason is that Nine-abyss Immortal City was destroyed 80,000 years ago." Yiyi looked as pure and profound as a lotus flower. She had a transcending aura around her.

Feiyun could tell that there used to be a prosperous city here - a perfect place for cultivation. Alas, it was all gone now.

80,000 years was too long ago so things have disappeared.

Cities of the immortal classification were top powers. Domain lords nearby were mere tributaries and vassals. Alas, this city still went down. It must have been a shocking battle.

There seemed to be a hint of sadness and sorrow in the winds.

"Rumor has it that specters from the dead still linger around to protect this place. Ominous events happened here which deterred people from using the portal. However, this is the fastest path to Aquamoon. Let's go." Yiyi didn't look afraid at all. Nothing in this world could intimidate her.

As she was about to start the formation again, a beam crossed through the sky and headed for the boulder. The sky was burning along its path.

This fiery meteor caused the boulder to quake from sheer pressure alone.

"How impatient." Xuanyuan Yiyi faced the meteor without any change in her expression. The sword on her back flew out and rushed to the sky.

It unleashed a 300-meter-long slash and split the meteor into two halves. They slammed onto the sides of the portal, creating two huge craters.

Its power still remained so cracks appeared from the centers for miles.

"We're leaving, masters are ambushing us." Xuanyuan Yiyi's eyes flashed brightly, trying to calculate the identity of the ambushers.

The air grew colder tonight; snow started falling.

"We do not wish to offend you, Saintess. Just hand the half-demon over and we'll leave immediately." A voice came from afar.

Feiyun sneered after hearing this but didn't bother retorting. He closed his eyes and activated his Grand Change Art, also wanting to divine the opponents' background.

"Feng Feiyun has been summoned by the deity. All of you are quite audacious, daring to attack him." She answered.

"Don't bring up the deity to intimidate us. We wouldn't be here if we were afraid." The voice responded.

Another old speaker added: "The deity might be almighty but she doesn't care for these trivial matters. Plus, she is not omniscient. We wouldn't be doing this without absolute confidence, Saintess."

"Don't waste your strength calculating, we have sealed the heaven's eyes. You won't know who we are." A third voice spoke.

Yiyi's brows furrowed. Her divine attempt failed earlier because someone has indeed sealed the area. They had a top wisdom master among their ranks.

Feiyun gazed in a certain direction and smiled: "I heard Sir Canghai of Firmament City is the ninth-ranked wisdom master in Sixth Central, aware of the celestials above and the veins below, a superb seer capable of reading the future."

The atmosphere became tense after this revelation. Someone commanded subsequently: "Begin!"

Runes appeared in the air and sealed the area physically. An eight-level pagoda emerged, looking old and was covered in dust. Black spots on it spewed out bright radiance.

"An eleventh-ranked spirit treasure!"

The entrance opened, revealing a black maelstrom that pulled Feiyun and Yiyi inside.

"We're leaving right now, I sense several more waves of people. They can't know that we were here." An old man in black appeared. His face was hidden by a hat with a veil all around. He looked thin and crouched down like a monkey.

"Boom!" Suddenly, the floating pagoda became ten times larger.

His expression soured as he shot out ten rays from his dried finger to stabilize the pagoda.

"The pagoda is not enough to suppress her?"

Three more figures appeared, wearing the same stealth outfit. They were made from special material, possessing strong defense and preventing others from sensing their aura and appearance.

"Boom!" The pagoda gradually became larger with cracks on the surface.

"Chaos Jewel!" One of them looked muscular, flicking out a gray jewel. It landed on top of the pagoda and started fueling it. This was another eleventh-ranked treasure.

The pagoda started growing smaller as a result.

An eleventh-ranked treasure was far stronger than a tenth-ranked treasure. A tenth-ranked could unleash a four-hundredfold attack once fully activated, an eleventh-ranked could perform an eight-hundredfold attack.

They were a sign of status as well. Only mighty big shots had access to eleventh-ranked treasures.

The combined might of two eleventh-ranked treasures intimidated all living beings within a thousand miles radius. The two cultivators have purposely lowered the radius of effect in order to draw less attention.

"Boom!" A monstrous force erupted inside the pagoda, causing it to swell up dozens of times larger. More cracks appeared and debris started falling on the ground, leaving gigantic pits.

"Whoosh!" Two figures flew out from the crack and soared towards the horizon.

"They actually made it out…" The four old men attacked at the same time after seeing this.

The first released a thick lightning bolt, looking like a purple dragon with extreme power.

The second unleashed a black ocean made from acidic water. It encompassed three thousand miles in the sky with rampant waves.

The third chose to use a cosmic seal - another eleventh-ranked spirit treasure. On the surface were characters written down by ancient sages, looking like a scripture. It tried to block the duo's path.

The fourth summoned the beast soul of a gluttonous dragon. It was more than a hundred meters tall and seemed to actually have a physical form.

The four were top masters, evident by their impressive attack.

"Their cultivation is incredible, I'll send you away first!" Xuanyuan Yiyi pointed at the air and created a spirit path.

This was a technique from the Earth's End Dao, capable of turning inches into an entire world.

He glanced at her and smiled: "Then I'll be leaving first, be careful now."

He didn't refuse since it would be good for the four to kill her. He landed on the spirit path and started walking away, disappearing from sight.

Once he was gone, she pulled her finger back and flew through the air, leaving behind a white trail. Her intention was to stop the four masters.

She took out her blade and unleashed her world of swords.
