"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
The Spirit World Master of the Immortal Spirit Realm was indeed formidable. Light flowed around her body like a divine being, and golden sword energy danced ceaselessly. Not only was it dazzlingly beautiful, but its offensive power was extraordinarily fierce.
However, Zhang Tianyi's swordsmanship was equally remarkable. Gripping the Heavenly Force Golden Sword condensed from his Hundred Transformations Bow, he deflected the Spirit World Master's attacks with just one hand.
Before long, he shifted his blade and turned defense into offense, counterattacking the Spirit World Master of the Immortal Spirit Realm. His swordwork was unique and domineering, and he quickly forced the Spirit World Master into a series of desperate retreats, each moment more perilous than the last.
"Egg, lend me your power."
At the sight of this, Chu Feng let out a fierce shout. Without hesitation, Egg immediately transferred her Xuan Wu Ninth Level cultivation to Chu Feng.
Once he received Egg's cultivation, a bolt of golden lightning flashed in Chu Feng's eyes. His aura surged rapidly, climbing infinitely close to the Heaven Martial Realm.
Immediately after, a bolt of blue lightning appeared. Once the blue lightning emerged, it quickly intertwined with the golden lightning, forming a strange pattern in Chu Feng's pupils. At the same time, Chu Feng's aura broke through to the Heaven Martial Realm.
Logically speaking, with the power of his lightning and Egg's Xuan Wu Ninth Level cultivation, Chu Feng should have been able to break through to the second level of the Heaven Martial Realm. But for some reason, he now needed two bolts of lightning overlaid just to reach the first level.
Chu Feng, Egg, and Purple Bell had all pondered this phenomenon for a long time and ultimately speculated that the Heaven Martial Realm's constraints were simply too great. On top of that, since Chu Feng was borrowing power rather than using his own cultivation, the lightning's strength was weakened.
If it were Chu Feng himself who had stepped into the Xuan Wu Ninth Level, perhaps he could have broken through that limitation and used two bolts of lightning to ascend to the second level of the Heaven Martial Realm.
Though this was merely speculation, regardless, even at the first level of the Heaven Martial Realm, Chu Feng's power was incomparable to before—especially with a mysterious weapon in hand, his battle strength was now on par with someone at the fourth level of the Heaven Martial Realm.
"Whoosh!"
So, once his power surged, Chu Feng stepped forward with Dragon Soars Through Nine Heavens and charged at Zhang Tianyi with the Ghost Axe of the Asura in his grasp.
"Hummm!" The Ghost Axe swung violently, and a black blade of light shot forth. But Zhang Tianyi calmly grabbed the Exquisite Chariot with one hand, using only his other hand to block Chu Feng's black blade of light.
"Bang!" However, Zhang Tianyi had underestimated the power of Chu Feng's Ghost Axe of the Asura. The moment their forces collided, the Heavenly Force Golden Sword in Zhang Tianyi's hand shattered instantly. It could not withstand the black blade's overwhelming pressure and was crushed to pieces.
But Zhang Tianyi was no ordinary fighter. Though he was quite surprised by this, he remained composed. He darted sideways, narrowly dodging Chu Feng's black blade of light.
"Haha, that's a nice mysterious weapon. I'll be taking it too!" After evading Chu Feng's attack, Zhang Tianyi let out another laugh and darted toward Chu Feng.
"Rumble rumble rumble rumble!" By the time Zhang Tianyi reached Chu Feng, a wooden sword radiating flowing light had already appeared in his hand. This wooden sword's power was immense—only marginally weaker than Chu Feng's Ghost Axe of the Asura. It was none other than the treasured treasure of Sword God Valley, the mysterious weapon known as the Divine Wood Sword.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
"Cling cling cling cling!"
Zhang Tianyi was already terrifyingly powerful. Even a casually condensed Heavenly Force Golden Sword was enough to suppress the Spirit World Master of the Immortal Spirit Realm. Now wielding a mysterious weapon, his strength had grown even more fearsome.
Rune-inscribed sword energy surged forth wave upon wave, each layer building on the last, sweeping toward Chu Feng relentlessly. Even Chu Feng could only parry, left with no room to counterattack as he was forced back again and again by Zhang Tianyi's relentless assault.
"Brother Zhang, we are fellow disciples. We should be joining forces against outside enemies—why must we fight each other to the death?" In truth, Chu Feng was not fighting at full power. He truly did not want to engage in a deathmatch with Zhang Tianyi.
"Chu Feng, two tigers cannot share the same mountain. Don't you understand even this simple principle?"
