Trampling

Yan Yinwen looked at Chen Fei with some confusion, sensing a slight fluctuation in his aura. However, after a moment, his aura returned to normal.

The boundaries between the Mountain Sea Realm could be judged by one’s aura, but this kind of judgment was rather crude, at most revealing the presence of several Divine Palaces.

To precisely discern the extent of the Divine Palaces within one’s body was an impossible task.

Especially since Chen Fei’s Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword has already reached a perfect state, his control over his own strength has reached a certain level. It’s even less likely for others to perceive the situation of the third Divine Palace.

Therefore, in Yan Yinwen’s view, Chen Fei simply experienced a momentary fluctuation in his aura.

As for the spirit essence in Chen Fei’s hand just now, in the Mountain Sea Realm, there were indeed many methods for extracting spirit essence, but the extracted spirit essence contained a lot of impurities.

No Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioner would directly absorb spirit essence as it would not be worth the effort.

Moreover, for the vast majority of Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners, what hindered their cultivation advancement was not the lack of energy, but rather the insufficient comprehension of their techniques and the inability to control such vast amounts of power.

Only treasures like the Heavenly Rain Flower, natural wonders, could help them comprehend their techniques and provide sufficient energy, making it the best choice.

In the practice of the Mountain Sea Realm, progress has always been step by step. To make rapid strides forward was a privilege reserved for the Sacred Land Prodigies.

“The closest top sect to us is the Feihuang Sect,” Yan Yinwen continued the previous topic.

Since this altar has sp.a.w.ned monsters, and top sects were also collecting them, it would be wise to let those top sects handle it. Perhaps they could even earn a reward.

If the top powers refused to intervene, then reporting directly to the Sacred Lands was also an option.

“Wait a moment. The spirit essence of this monster might be useful to me,” Chen Fei whispered.

If the spirit essence couldn’t be directly absorbed and could only be used on spiritual treasures, then Chen Fei might indeed report the situation here. After all, if there were Fourth-Tier early monsters, there was a possibility of encountering Fourth-Tier mid or even late ones.

Facing a Fourth-Tier mid, Chen Fei could still escape, but if it was a late stage Fourth-Tier, the difficulty of fleeing would be extremely high.

But now, faced with the temptation of this spirit essence, Chen Fei hesitated.

Recently, the frequency of monster appearances on the Middle continent had been increasing, and the rumors from ten thousand years ago seem increasingly terrifying.

Having the opportunity to rapidly increase his strength, Chen Fei wasn’t willing to let this opportunity slip by.

Furthermore, Chen Fei carefully observed the altar. From the fluctuations of the altar since the appearance of the monsters earlier, it seemed that the altar required a considerable amount of power for the monsters to come over.

Moreover, when two monsters appeared simultaneously, there were signs of instability in the altar.

In other words, if stronger monsters were to come over, the altar might be damaged due to its inability to withstand the force.

However, with the protection of spatial power, the altar couldn’t be damaged, so it was more likely that stronger monsters currently could not come over.

Unless the altar continued to strengthen under the influence of spatial power, then there was a possibility.

“So, in the short term, there might not be any Fourth-Tier mid level monsters coming over?” Chen Fei’s gaze flickered.

“I wonder if I can go over?”

Chen Fei hesitated. He knew nothing about the situation on the other side, and stepping over, he feared he might face an ambush.

Sending a clone over was an option, but he had to be prepared for the clone to be obliterated.

For this clone, Chen Fei had consumed the spirit essence of five Mountain Sea Realms to rea.s.semble it, which was quite time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, there was no guarantee that there would be so many hostile Mountain Sea Realms or Monster Kings waiting to kill it.

Killing without reason wasn’t in Chen Fei’s nature, and if he truly harbored such thoughts, his demise would be imminent.

Letting someone become arrogant was the first step towards their downfall; a life without boundaries was extremely frightening!

Yan Yinwen was somewhat surprised when she heard that Chen Fei didn’t intend to report the situation. After hesitating for a moment, she ultimately didn’t press further.

After all, judging from the current situation, Chen Fei still had control over the altar. And Chen Fei could see that the altar had its limits, so Yan Yinwen naturally noticed some clues as well.

The altar was still rippling, indicating that it was still active and could dispatch monsters at any time, but there was still no movement.

“Let’s go.”

Chen Fei’s gaze fluctuated, his figure flashed, disappearing from the spot, even directly dismantling the formation shrouding the area.

Yan Yinwen nodded and followed behind Chen Fei. The two of them withdrew fifty miles away.

Chen Fei wasn’t sure how far the monsters on the other side of the altar could detect, but presumably, even if they could, the distance would be extremely limited across dimensions.

After all, for pract.i.tioners at the early stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, fifty miles was not a short distance under normal circ.u.mstances, and the sensed aura would also be extremely weak.

“After slaying this monster, the extracted spirit essence can be used for cultivation. Do you want to kill it?” Chen Fei whispered.

Considering her as a teammate, Chen Fei had no intention of lying in such matters. After all, this spirit essence would have immediate benefits for him.

However, for other pract.i.tioners at the Mountain Sea Realm, it would at most serve as a potent elixir, and its absorption would be gradual, unlike Chen Fei, who could directly forge Divine Palaces.

“That monster is quite formidable, beyond my ability to handle,” Yan Yinwen thought for a moment, then shook her head.

The monster just now could suppress Chen Fei’s clone, and Yan Yinwen was well aware of the strength of Chen Fei’s clone, which was much stronger than hers.

In such a situation where even Chen Fei’s clone was suppressed, if she were to go up there, one wrong move and she might be crushed.

Chen Fei nodded, a beam of light emitting from his forehead as he gazed patiently at the location of the altar from afar, waiting for any changes.

This wait lasted for an hour.

Seemingly a.s.sured of the safety outside, ripples once again appeared on the altar, and a figure emerged on it. It had two legs, four arms, a single eye, just like the monster before.

The monster stood on the altar, scanning its surroundings without noticing anything unusual, then forcefully stomped on the altar.

The altar rippled, followed by the gradual formation of two more ethereal figures. Meanwhile, the initial monster had taken flight, cautiously scanning its surroundings.

As the apparitions swiftly took shape on the altar, two more monsters emerged, with one appearing notably larger in stature.

With the appearance of these two monsters, the radiance on the altar began to dim, eventually fading away entirely.

Upon confirming the absence of danger in their vicinity, the three monsters converged and flew off towards the southeast. However, before they could travel a mile, a figure emerged from the void, blocking their path.

“Only capable of teleporting six monsters before exhausting its energy.”

Chen Fei observed, his brow furrowing slightly as he gazed towards the altar.

Chen Fei had initially a.s.sumed that the altar couldn’t transport anything beyond Fourth-Tier mid level monsters, but it should have been capable of at least ten Fourth-Tier early level monsters.

With all of them slain, Chen Fei could have directly condensed his third Divine Palace.

However, to have the process halted at the sixth monster seemed rather insufficient.

“Roar!”

Upon seeing Chen Fei obstructing their path, the three monsters roared loudly, causing the atmosphere to tremble with their immense sonic waves.

Chen Fei turned to face the three monsters, his figure flickering as he charged straight towards them.

“Boom!”

Three wolf-tooth clubs simultaneously struck the Qianyuan Sword. Chen Fei took a half step back, his innate talent of Domain Suppression glowing not only on his main body but also causing slight tremors in his clone.

Chen Fei looked towards the tallest monster among them. Compared to the others, this monster’s strength was a notch higher, but it still hadn’t surpa.s.sed Chen Fei’s pressure threshold.

In the next moment, thunderous roars echoed through the sky as countless purple lights descended, completely enveloping Chen Fei’s position.

The three monsters roared fiercely, but as time pa.s.sed, their roars grew weaker and weaker.

With the roaring of the Dragon Elephant, resembling an ancient behemoth, the monsters’ cries suddenly vanished.

“Whoosh!”

Three streaks of red light broke through the thunderstorm and flew towards the altar.

Dozens of sword shadows appeared in front of one of the red streaks, and the Xuanyuan Sword resounded. Instantly, the red streak was frozen in mid-air.

Chen Fei turned his head towards the altar. As the two red streaks crashed into it, the altar emitted a faint glow, causing the red streaks to disappear along with it.

“It can still teleport?” Chen Fei’s brow furrowed slightly.

“Or perhaps these monsters left marks at the other end of the altar, allowing them to be teleported back?”

The dark clouds gradually dissipated from the sky, and the lightning that had surrounded the area also receded. Chen Fei approached the intercepted red streak, a dazzling beam of light emitting from his forehead, enveloping the red streak.

Now, under the Heavenly Eye, the appearance of this red streak was clearly visible—it was indeed the soul of the monster.

Sensing Chen Fei’s arrival, the monster within the red streak roared furiously, but under the intimidation of the Xuanyuan Sword’s true spirit, it couldn’t resist at all.

Although this monster had an exceptionally strong physical body, its soul was much weaker and rougher, bearing a striking resemblance to a demonic beast, yet with some differences.

“Clang!”

The Xuanyuan Sword emitted a resounding clang, and the soul of the monster within the red streak instantly shattered.

Chen Fei didn’t employ the Slaughter Spirit Technique because the spirit essence of the soul was composed of various soul fragments, which couldn’t be absorbed at all. Instead, it would only contaminate him, rendering it unsuitable even for feeding spiritual treasures.

As dozens of sword shadows dissipated, Chen Fei looked at the three spirit essences in his hand.

This represented another three years of hard work. As long as he absorbed them, the third Divine Palace would reach seventy percent completion. With another three years of diligent cultivation, Chen Fei could elevate his cultivation to the peak of the early stage of the Mountain Sea Realm.

However, this time Chen Fei didn’t immediately absorb them. Instead, he carefully studied the spirit essences in his hand.

After a moment, Chen Fei furrowed his brow slightly.

The spirit essences were very pure and could be perfectly absorbed. But what Chen Fei was examining wasn’t this. He was trying to determine if all these pure spirit essences were the same.

However, the result showed Chen Fei that even among pure spirit essences, the compositions were vastly different.

These spirit essences originated from monsters, and while each monster might appear similar, they were ultimately different individuals, so the spirit essences couldn’t be entirely identical.

Originally, Chen Fei intended to use these spirit essences as anchor points, utilizing spatial grids so that he could separate impurities from spirit essences obtained from other places in the future.

But now, with even the purest spirit essences being different, how could he separate them?

“I’ll still have to give it a try!”

Chen Fei instructed his clone to remain fifty miles away from the altar while he himself flew towards the direction of the outer sea.
