The seductive heart shatters desire.
That was the slogan that echoed in Long Chen's mind when Yaoyuelu killed those powerful opponents just now. It was the first time Yaoyuelu had unleashed a killing move using its own strength.
Feng Fei actually saw through this move at a glance, which shocked Long Chen. Feng Fei's insight was truly impressive.
Seeing the fighting spirit burning in Feng Fei's eyes, it was clear that the appearance of the Yaoyue Furnace had shocked her and made her desire to challenge Long Chen.
"I have no reason to fight you, and you'd better not make a fuss. I don't want to be played like a fool." Long Chen shook his head and said.
If Long Chen and Feng Fei fought fiercely, winning or losing, they would fall into the trap set by Emperor Long and his son. Fighting such a terrifying figure as Feng Fei would expose all of Long Chen's trump cards, so Long Chen did not want to fight Feng Fei.
"That's not up to you."
Feng Fei snorted coldly, lightly stepping with a lotus step. A jade hand struck down from the air, neither activating the phenomenon nor unleashing its aura. Yet this hand twisted the void, causing Long Chen's position to collapse in an instant.
This palm strike was like a dome, enveloping all directions—up, down, forward, behind, left, and right—reaching from heaven to earth, with no way to escape. Feng Fei was trying to force Long Chen to take the attack, leaving him no chance to escape.
Long Chen was furious. Feng Fei really must be crazy—she was clearly being used, yet she still wanted to act.
"Hoo."
Long Chen didn't hesitate. He snorted coldly and struck out with his palm. He also didn't summon his divine ring battle body. Like Feng Fei, it looked like a light and light strike.
However, as Long Chen struck down with his palm, the divine gate within his sea of consciousness swung open, unleashing endless soul power. Feng Fei twisted the spatial laws with her powerful soul power, and Long Chen also countered with his soul power.
"Smack!"
Long Chen's large hand collided with Feng Fei's jade-like hand. There was no earth-shattering explosion, but the moment their palms met, a soul storm swept in all directions centered on the two of them.
"Ah..."
The powerful figures present immediately sensed something was wrong and retreated one after another, but were still caught up by the soul storm. They felt their sea of consciousness shake, their souls nearly being shredded, and let out piercing screams.
Di Long, Di Feng, and other powerful figures from the Ancient Family Alliance also changed their expressions drastically. They hadn't expected that the two would immediately compete for soul power.
They protected everyone and retreated rapidly; only by creating enough distance would the soul storm gradually weaken.
"Ss s s..."
Everyone quickly left the terrifying soul storm. A strange sound came from the void, and everyone turned toward the sound, shocked.
"My god, soul power slices through the void, using invisible force to cut the path of the tangible. What realm has soul power reached?" Someone exclaimed.
Soul power usually only targets the strong; this invisible force cannot cause physical damage.
But at this moment, Long Chen and Feng Fei's palms met, their foreheads glowing. Behind them, transparent energy flowed and intertwined, forming a violent vortex. The terrifying power was like billions of invisible blades slicing through the void—a sight utterly shocking.
Everyone present was a strong cultivator, but they had never seen such terrifying soul power before, and they were all terrified.
Everyone was still rapidly retreating, because as their soul power erupted, they still felt intense pain in their souls and had to retreat farther to ensure their safety.
"Buzz buzz buzz... The
void trembled incessantly, a soul storm swept across the heavens, transparent vortexes rapidly spreading, their range growing larger and their aura increasingly terrifying, even the heavens and earth changed color because of it.
"You refuse to fight me, only using soul power to confront me, but you don't realize that soul power is my specialty. I advise you to fight with all your might, or else you won't stand a chance." Feng Fei's jade-like face was cold and indifferent, like a proud phoenix, her tone full of arrogance.
"Is soul power your specialty? Fine, then let's compete in soul power. Long Chen snorted coldly.
Long Chen didn't want to fight Feng Fei, but this foolish woman actually forced him to act. Now that Feng Fei said her soul power was strong, Long Chen immediately tried to tease her with words. Their contest was limited to soul power, so Long Chen didn't need to reveal more of his trump cards.
"Ignorant! Do you think just because you're a pill cultivator, your soul power will have an advantage? Since you're so arrogant, if you die, don't blame me. Seeing
Long Chen still unmoved, Feng Fei's anger surged. Suddenly, her body swayed and she rapidly retreated.
"Whoosh."
As Feng Fei retreated, her jade hand rapidly formed hand seals, transforming into seventeen seals in one breath. With each seal, the heavens and earth trembled violently.
A massive phantom slowly appeared in the void, accompanied by a resounding phoenix cry that echoed through heaven and earth, shaking everyone's souls and making their heads feel as if they were about to be shattered.
It was a beautiful phoenix stretching thousands of miles, runes swirling all over its body, divine light illuminating the sky—an indescribable majesty.
A massive phoenix appeared above the void, its wings spread, the laws of heaven and earth trembling, waves surging, auspicious clouds surging, like a divine beast descending from the heavens, looking down on all living beings.
"What is this?" People were shocked; this mad aura was terrifying, even more terrifying than a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert.
But it carried no aura of a magical beast, nor any aura of a mystical beast, making it impossible to discern its origin.
"Summon your life-bound soul beast and let's see who wins." Feng Fei stood in midair, with a phoenix spreading its wings behind her, highlighting her peerless elegance. However, her voice was cold and stern, devoid of any emotion.
"A life-bound soul beast?"
Long Chen's heart tightened. He suddenly remembered that Meng Qi had once told him that there was a method to condense soul beasts within the Myriad Spirits Diagram.
However, to condense a soul beast, you need a beast soul. The higher the grade of the beast soul, the stronger the soul beast it condenses.
Mengqi had never found a suitable beast soul, so she hadn't condensed a soul beast, because condensing a soul beast consumes a large amount of soul power and causes some damage to the origin.
Especially the life-bound divine beast, which requires splitting off a soul seed from the true body's soul to condense it.
A person can only have one life-bound soul beast. Since a life-bound soul beast is a powerful weapon in battle, it is also a great helper for cultivation.
Later, because Mengqi had the Nine Lotus Soul-Gathering Pill Long Chen gave her, she never considered condensing soul beasts. However, the pill could only assist cultivation and was not effective in combat.
Now, seeing Feng Fei's terrifying soul beast, Long Chen's heart skipped a beat. His soul power was strong, but he had never mastered soul techniques, let alone condensed soul beasts.
"It seems I don't need to deploy my life-bound divine beast to deal with you. If you have any skills, go ahead and use them." Long Chen could only grit his teeth and say, he couldn't exactly say he didn't have a soul beast.
Hearing Long Chen say this, Feng Fei grew even angrier. Long Chen clearly looked down on her, his gaze cold, and suddenly the hand seal technique changed.
"Buzz!"
The Phoenix Behind her let out another cry, carrying endless fierce aura as it charged toward Long Chen.
The Phoenix moves for ten thousand miles, and the energy of heaven and earth is drawn into a massive vortex. Though it is merely the power of the soul, its actions cause the world to roar, and a violent killing intent sweeps across the sky.
"As expected of Lady Fengfei, this soul strike is simply unstoppable. Feng'er, if you face Lady Fengfei, can you block this move?" Di Long looked at Feng Fei's phoenix and sent a message to Di Feng.
"If it were before, I definitely wouldn't have been able to resist, but now that I've fully awakened the Blood Emperor bloodline and fused with the Blood Emperor's soul, with its blessing, this strike should be fine." Di Feng looked at Feng Fei's Ten Thousand Mile Phoenix, a faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
"That's good. Remember, don't reveal a single trace of your current strength or trump cards. Once you enter the Star Domain Divine Realm and master the power of reincarnation, then the power of the Divine Emperor will be fully under your control. By then, Long Chen will be nothing but a clown."
But now, if you have to endure, Long Chen is no longer your enemy. Your enemy should be someone of Feng Fei's level.
The gods want to use us, heh, how could we not want to use them too? You just need to keep trying to please your mother. The Ye family will eventually fall under your control, understand?
I married that foolish woman, endured humiliation and hardship for so many years, just to pave the way for you. Don't let me down." Di Long said.
"Father, rest assured, I will not let you down." Di Feng said confidently.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a loud explosion echoed through the void, interrupting the communication between father and son. Above the void, a massive pill furnace blocked the frenzied attack.
That pill furnace was indeed the Yaoyue Furnace, but it was not its true form, but the condensation of Long Chen's soul power.
For a moment, Long Chen didn't know what form to simulate to resist, so he simply condensed his soul power into the shape of the Demon Moon Furnace to defend.
What Long Chen didn't expect was that when he used his soul to simulate the appearance of the Demon Moon Furnace, the furnace inside his soul space radiated light, empowering the furnace outside.
"Brother Long Chen, I don't really understand this kind of spell. At most, I can only grant you twenty percent of my power." Ling'er sent a message to Long Chen apologetically.
The Yaoyue Furnace had gone through countless masters; almost everything the master knew could remember, and she could remember some of it.
She had encountered this method before, searching through countless memories and only finding one way to help him. However, this master's soul technique was not very strong, and her ability to help him was very limited.
"Ling'er, this is already very good. You're truly remarkable." Long Chen praised, Ling'er is truly strong. With the help of this twenty percent of his power, it can make Long Chen's soul power several times stronger.
Long Chen was never skilled at controlling combat-type soul power. This external release of soul was completely different from alchemy; controlling soul power was a different style, and he wasn't skilled at it.
But now, with Ling'er's assistance, Ling'er responsible for maintaining stability, Long Chen only needed to fully unleash his soul power. Although he didn't know Feng Fei's soul power, Long Chen was confident that his soul power was definitely not inferior to anyone.
"Your soul power is so relaxed, yet you dare to speak arrogantly?"
Feng Fei snorted coldly, and suddenly the phoenix's entire body glowed with runes, flowing like water toward its head.
"Buzz!"
Golden light shot out from the phoenix's eyes, stabbing the pill furnace.
"Crack, crack, crack...
In
that instant, the massive pill furnace was covered in cracks and then exploded with a thunderous crash.
