Chapter 329: Chapter 221: Unfettered

Yu Fei’s skillset was, in fact, perfectly suited for chaotic melees and group battles.

The [Melt Gold Jade Body Skill], which had cost him 15 million contribution points, was beginning to show its extraordinary nature. As numerous transcendent metallic and jade properties were smelted into his body, Yu Fei underwent a massive enhancement. This strengthening was all-encompassing, affecting his strength, resilience, defense, and more.

His ability to refine Yang Qi saw the greatest improvement, allowing him to extravagantly and continuously unleash sword gleams and Sword Qi. Otherwise, even at the Vast as the Sea stage of the Inner Qi Realm, he could only sustain such a high-consumption fighting style for about an hour.

This was to say nothing of the combined abilities of [Fleeting Moment], [Glimpse of the Nether], a fifteen-foot Divine Sense, and the Reversing Destiny Vision. With these, Yu Fei could process all the information on this chaotic and noisy battlefield.

For the most part, he only used the sword Zhanming in his hand to clear a path. Mid-tier Blade Demons and Shadow Demons were all silently dispatched by the sudden appearance of innumerable Sword Qi. As Yu Fei’s cultivation of spiritual Secret Techniques advanced, the power and range of this ability had increased considerably.

Only when facing a Spider Demon did Yu Fei unleash his full power.

Without realizing it, he had reached the front line. Just after beheading a 4th-order Spider Demon, a shattering, stabbing pain spread through his body. The qi in Yu Fei’s body circulated, and he shot sideways like a bolt of lightning, flying over a hundred meters to the right. He swept his sword out, dicing a dozen lesser demons to bits, just as a ghastly green beam of light swept past where he had been.

Yu Fei caught a quick glimpse of it—a 5th-order, wood-attribute Spider Demon. It had insidiously fired a shot at him from over a hundred meters away.

His perfected [Celestial Star Travel Body] allowed his physical strength and qi to interact 16 times in a single breath, enabling him to change direction in 81 different ways. Yu Fei became a black afterimage, hurtling toward the cunning Spider Demon at an even greater speed.

With a swift swing of Zhanming, he carved open a path. The Spider Demon’s sure-hit blast missed, a look of surprise crossing its face. It immediately raised the giant hammer in its hand. Countless Blade Demons around it looked up at Yu Fei in unison. They brandished their bone blades and roared, surging toward him in endless waves.

The 5th-order Spider Demon, however, didn’t pause at all. It intended to smash Yu Fei and its own Blade Demon underlings to death together. Its eight blade-like legs tensed slightly as it rapidly closed in on the arrogant human before it.

The sword mark on Yu Fei’s brow suddenly flared. In an instant, over a thousand strands of innumerable Sword Qi shot out. Amidst the multi-colored flashes of sword light, an aqua-colored brilliance flickered and vanished. Despite possessing fifteen times the normal nerve-response speed, he still found it difficult to imbue every single strand of light with his Sword Intent.

Besides, doing so would place an immense strain on his Spiritual Power.

The Blade Demons swung their bone blades, shattering many strands of Sword Qi. But under Yu Fei’s precise control, the aqua-colored Sword Qi, enhanced with his Illusory Sword Intent, silently appeared right before their eyes.

SHINK... SHINK...

Countless strands of aqua Sword Qi pierced through the Blade Demons’ eyes. As the Sword Qi pulsed within, the heads of the swarming demons popped open one after another like champagne bottles.

These peculiar creatures seemed to undergo a unique chemical reaction between their flesh and the air. Their corpses began to dissolve in mid-air before they could even hit the ground.

Although Yu Fei had quickly annihilated the Blade Demons blocking his path, he was unavoidably delayed for a moment.

The emerald Spider Demon raised its over ten-meter-long giant hammer and brought it crashing down on Yu Fei.

In the nick of time, Yu Fei raised Zhanming with a motion that seemed both slow and fast. It was as if his blade was lifting an entire mountain, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

[Mountain Shattering Slash]!

After fully mastering the Sword Intent of light and heavy, Yu Fei’s sword strikes had become even weightier. If Hengji had been the one to face this blow, her internal organs would have likely ruptured on the spot, killing her instantly.

BOOM!

As sword met hammer, Yu Fei’s body sank uncontrollably. The spikes on the giant hammer slammed into his custom-made Profound Armor, sending sparks flying and leaving a series of dents on the armor’s surface.

"Die!"

Yu Fei’s Qi Sea churned like a stormy ocean as his Inner Qi surged violently into Zhanming. A sapphire fluorescence appeared on the snow-white blade. Like a flood dragon emerging from the sea, Zhanming actually sent the giant hammer flying.

After cultivating the [All Things Return to Origin Scripture] to the Vast as the Sea realm of Inner Qi, this ancient Daoist true art began to reveal its power. His immense reserves of Inner Qi allowed him to use his techniques without restraint, no longer needing to carefully calculate the cost of his Cultivation Technique’s moves when facing an enemy.

In the Inner Qi Realm, the [All Things Return to Origin Scripture] has four different stages. During the Gathering Qi into a Pool stage, the refined and purified Profound Primordial Qi is pale green, and the qi itself is soft and practically useless.

Upon reaching the Fu Liu Ruo Lake stage, the purified Profound Primordial Qi turns a turquoise-green color. At this point, both the reserves and power of one’s Inner Qi are significantly stronger than those from ordinary Cultivation Techniques.

During the exercise at the [Desperate Fortress], he had been at this stage. Back then, when fighting Zhang Hu and the others, his Inner Qi was at a complete disadvantage, forcing him to rely solely on his superhuman physique and strength.

Now, after expending a vast amount of resources, his cultivation of the [All Things Return to Origin Scripture] had finally reached the Vast as the Sea stage. The purified Profound Primordial Qi displayed a deep, sapphire blue. Not only did he possess Inner Qi reserves that far surpassed those of ordinary prodigies, but the power of his techniques had also grown exponentially.

Only because of this could he clash head-on with the mighty, heavy blow of a 5th-order Spider Demon. Ordinary Gang Qi Martial Artists wouldn’t dare to face such a powerful strike directly. His custom, elite-model Profound Armor was said to be able to withstand a single blow from a Gang Qi Martial Artist, yet the spikes of the Spider Demon’s hammer had still dented it—and that was after Yu Fei had already absorbed the vast majority of the impact.

Seeing its sure-hit attack blocked by this tiny human—who had even managed to knock it back—an expression of incredulous amazement appeared on the emerald Spider Demon’s humanoid face. Its eight blade-like legs took several unsteady steps back, its posture faltering.
