Chapter 445: Supreme Grade Spiritual Sword

Either possess an overwhelmingly crus.h.i.+ng power and wipe out the eight Snow Evils, or engage in mutual attrition to see who lasts in the end.

“Boom!”

The Qianyuan Sword drew a sword aura, and in an instant, the three Snow Evils in the advanced Aperture Tempering realm behind Chen Fei were reduced to ashes. The Snow Evil in front of Chen Fei took a few steps back, with all four of its arms shattered.

Among the four other Snow Evils that had remained motionless in the distance, three continued to rush towards Chen Fei, while one stayed in the distance as the last seed.

At the same time, in other locations on the cliff, the cold wind swirled, and three Snow Evils quickly took shape. Judging from the trend, they would probably fully recover in just a few breaths.

Chen Fei remained indifferent to the approaching Snow Evils from behind. He took a step forward, and the Qianyuan Sword continued to sweep towards the Snow Evil in front of him.

Sheng Lanping’s true form resided in this Snow Evil. Otherwise, this Snow Evil would not have the strength of the Aperture Tempering realm peak.

The Snow Evil possessed by Sheng Lanping had only half of its four arms restored at this moment. When it saw Chen Fei charging at it, it didn’t retreat but instead advanced directly towards him.

In Sheng Lanping’s hands, the Snow Evil was expendable. In a confrontation, she would never be timid. At most, she would fight the Snow Evil to the death and then transfer her true form to another Snow Evil.

“Boom!”

Amidst the explosion, the four unrecovered arms not only dissipated instantly, but also most of the arms connected to those arms vanished, as the terrifying power crushed mercilessly through the Snow Evil’s body.

“Hehehe!”

A low, eerie laughter emanated from the mouth of the Snow Evil before him, sounding mocking and resentful, causing unease in the hearts of those who heard it.

The aura of the Snow Evil before him suddenly plummeted, and Sheng Lanping’s true form rushed towards the other Snow Evils.

G.o.dslayer!

Chen Fei’s eyes suddenly burst with dazzling light. Under the Star Gazing Art, he accurately pinpointed the location of Sheng Lanping’s aura and unleashed several consecutive G.o.dslayer Swords, striking at her aura.

“Buzz!”

The aura, which had already fallen, suddenly surged again. Sheng Lanping’s true form was forcibly thrown back onto this Snow Evil by Chen Fei.

True form wandering freely, impossible to capture?

For other Pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, they might not be able to capture Sheng Lanping’s aura, but Chen Fei possessed the Star Gazing Art, leaving no secrets about Sheng Lanping’s true form.

In this situation, the G.o.dslayer Sword directly intercepted Sheng Lanping’s spiritual consciousness. Trying to let her true form wander freely was impossible in front of Chen Fei.

For the first time, Sheng Lanping’s true form had escaped due to the element of surprise, but using the same move multiple times would easily reveal vulnerabilities.

The Qianyuan Sword emitted a black light, and a sword thrust towards Sheng Lanping’s true form.

The Snow Evils began to scream frantically, and not only did Sheng Lanping’s true form shatter, but the other seven Snow Evils also roared and exploded into powder.

At this moment, the shrieking reached an unprecedented level, and in Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness, the barrier formed by the Thousand Threads Technique shattered instantly.

These screams were like thorns, piercing Chen Fei’s spiritual consciousness. But in the next moment, these thorns were shattered as if they had collided with steel plates.

Sheng Lanping suddenly let out a m.u.f.fled groan, and the piercing screams on the cliff came to an abrupt halt.

Chen Fei remained expressionless as the Qianyuan Sword pierced through Sheng Lanping’s true form’s head. In the next moment, the Snow Evils exploded into countless specks of light.

The cliff, which was once howling with the fierce wind, gradually calmed down. Chen Fei shook the Qianyuan Sword in his hand, causing the remaining snowflakes on the blade to scatter.

A battle that could have turned into a protracted struggle had been crushed by Chen Fei.

Compared to the previous twenty-four cultivators led by Lu Zhongjing, Sheng Lanping’s strength was indeed superior. If Lu Zhongjing had faced Sheng Lanping, all he could do was face the siege of several Snow Evils. No matter how hard he tried, he would be helpless against Sheng Lanping’s true form. Within dozens of moves, he would be injured and killed, likely within a hundred moves or so.

Outside Haiyan City,

On the peak representing Chen Fei on the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking, the halo suddenly radiated brightly, as if it wanted to pierce through the dark night.

Just moments ago, there was still some commotion in the surroundings, but upon witnessing the changes on the peak, the scene fell silent.

The changes in the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking made it very clear to everyone that Chen Fei had once again successfully challenged the ranking. He had jumped from the twenty-fourth position to the fourteenth position.

A single battle, a leap of ten ranks!

Such madness, even in a place like Haiyan City, witnessing something like this was astonis.h.i.+ng.

Not only outside Haiyan City, but at this moment, in all the places where the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking was displayed, everyone looked at the changes on the list with incredulous expressions.

Compared to Haiyan City, people in some larger cities had actually seen such rapid ascents on the ranking before. However, this kind of behavior usually only occurred in the first few years after the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking was established.

As time went on, the ranking list became more or less fixed, with occasional changes in the thirtieth position at most.

It was rare to see the ranking list change so dramatically, especially when the opening of the Haiyue Cave was approaching.

Rao Chengwan was sitting cross-legged on the ground, but even after practicing his techniques several times, he couldn’t calm his state of mind. After all, he had just been kicked off the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking by someone, and it would take some time to regain his composure.

“Senior Brother, Senior Brother…” The person who had come to report the situation just appeared outside Rao Chengwan’s cave again.

“What is it now?” Rao Chengwan looked at the person with impatience in his tone.

“That Chen Fei has challenged the ranking again.”

“Did he succeed or fail?” Hearing news about a newcomer to the ranking, Rao Chengwan became somewhat interested.

“He succeeded!”

“He succeeded? What rank did he reach? Twenty-second, or did he break into the top twenty?”

Upon hearing that Chen Fei had succeeded, Rao Chengwan didn’t seem too surprised. Climbing to the twenty-fourth position in his first attempt clearly indicated his strong abilities, so it was highly likely he would climb a few more spots.

Although there were significant differences in strength between each rank on the ranking list.

“Fourteenth place! That Chen Fei directly reached the fourteenth position!”

“What!” Rao Chengwan suddenly stood up from the ground, his expression filled with shock.

“This Chen Fei is incredible!” The person reporting the news exclaimed.

“Let’s go, let’s take a look together.” Rao Chengwan couldn’t sit still anymore, so he pulled his junior disciple and rushed down the peak.

Chen Fei wasn’t just causing a disturbance; he was clearly a force to be reckoned with. Going from the twenty-fourth to the fourteenth rank in two battles—where would he challenge next?

While the outside world was in turmoil, inside the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking, Chen Fei remained remarkably calm.

After defeating Sheng Lanping, another elixir to restore his spiritual consciousness appeared in front of him.

Chen Fei had initially thought that there might be even stronger elixirs available, but now it seemed that these elixirs were specifically for the use of those challenging the ranking.

“May I ask, if I reach the first rank, will there be more Spirit Infusion elixirs?” Chen Fei looked at the elixir in his hand and suddenly asked.

If the elixirs didn’t get any better, and everyone on the ranking had access to the Haiyue Token, then would the benefits of Spirit Infusion be the same for everyone?

“Hum!”

In response to Chen Fei’s question, a piece of information appeared in his mind. After a moment, Chen Fei opened his eyes.

Spirit Infusion elixirs had three tiers, corresponding to the top thirty, top twenty, and top ten. Moreover, Spirit Infusion could only elevate a spiritual weapon to the level of a supreme grade spiritual weapon before it stopped.

Chen Fei couldn’t help but touch his nose. The Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking, while it could be considered generous, was also limited in its own way. After all, it was renowned worldwide, with the Haiyue Token and Spirit Infusion benefits.

But unfortunately, both of these benefits had their own restrictions.

Especially Spirit Infusion, which only went up to the level of a supreme grade spiritual weapon. It seemed that improving spiritual weapons was not a very rewarding task for spiritual treasures.

“Can my current rank allow me to upgrade this sword to a supreme grade spiritual weapon?” Chen Fei raised the Qianyuan Sword in his hand.

“Hum!”

Another wave pa.s.sed over, enveloping the Qianyuan Sword within it. After a moment, a positive message appeared in Chen Fei’s mind.

Chen Fei’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he realized that the second-tier Spirit Infusion could actually upgrade the Qianyuan Sword. This was likely related to the Qianyuan Sword absorbing the Tianhui Stone and the abundance of spiritual essence it had absorbed before.

Of course, the most crucial factor was the immense power of the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking, which had significantly shortened the decades of nurturing time needed.

“Upgrade the Qianyuan Sword!” Chen Fei contemplated for a moment and then exclaimed.

Chen Fei had no intention of continuing to challenge the ranking. In his view, fame would naturally come with strength and didn’t need to be actively sought.

Since there were no more significant benefits to be gained by continuing to challenge the ranking, Chen Fei had no reason to continue.

As for gaining insights into the abilities of other young talents, Chen Fei was mildly interested, but only to a small extent. These challengers were not real people, and despite the impressive display of their spiritual treasures, there were still some differences from encountering real individuals.

If he genuinely wanted to witness the abilities of these individuals, he could wait until the Haiyue Cave opened a year later. There was no need to stay here and observe now.

Upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, the entire Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking trembled slightly, and a force that made Chen Fei somewhat fearful enveloped the Qianyuan Sword.

Sensing this power, Chen Fei felt a hint of the terrifying might of spiritual treasures. The Mountain Sea realm was truly unfathomable!

The Qianyuan Sword eagerly absorbed the surrounding spiritual essence, and although it had only recently become a supreme grade spiritual weapon, it was rapidly improving. The progress was smooth, without any hint of struggle.

Meanwhile, outside various locations where the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking was displayed, a group of people gazed intently at the aura representing Chen Fei. They were completely captivated by Chen Fei’s performance and wanted to see just how far he could go.

Half an hour pa.s.sed, and Chen Fei’s aura remained in place.

An hour pa.s.sed, and Chen Fei still hadn’t made a decision.

Rao Chengwan stood not far away, having traveled a long distance just to witness Chen Fei’s performance. However, after waiting for so long and not seeing anything, he couldn’t help but feel a bit bewildered.

In the next moment, Chen Fei’s aura gradually dimmed, and around him, sighs of regret could be heard. This signified that Chen Fei had decided not to continue the challenge.

Several dozen miles away from Haiyan City, Chen Fei’s figure slowly appeared on a hill.

As per Chen Fei’s request, the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking had directly transported him here to avoid the crowds. Moreover, because the ranking had forcefully altered the memories of the people around Haiyan City, they only remembered the modified aura and appearance of Chen Fei.

Even Yan Zesong, who had seen Chen Fei a few times before, was affected by this memory manipulation. This was the power of spiritual treasures.

Chen Fei looked down at the Qianyuan Sword in his hand, a smile appearing on his face.. A supreme grade spiritual sword, and he had achieved it just like that!
