Feng Jun felt only a little heartache over the damage to the Illusory Cloud Shoes, but he was not surprised—nothing that could exist in the Void was simple. Either its material was exceptionally tough, or it possessed some other miraculous property.
He had not intended to chase after it either. The Void was not empty; as long as he was willing to unleash his spiritual energy, he could certainly pursue it.
But whether he could catch up was another matter, and what he might gain after catching it remained uncertain.
So Feng Jun felt there was no need to waste precious spiritual energy on such a gamble.
If he lost that gamble, it would not merely be a matter of losing money—he might lose his life as well. Who would be crazy enough to bet on that?
However, the thing's incredible speed gave rise to another suspicion: Was I a little too slow?
So he took out another Storage Talisman. It contained a thousand Spirit Stones. He truly did not have any Storage Talismans holding fewer Spirit Stones. He could not even be bothered to carry the ones containing a hundred Spirit Stones—the unit was simply too small for use as settlement currency.
Then he directly activated the Storage Talisman. In an instant, it exploded in a fiery blast—or rather, it was annihilated, while the Spirit Stones inside genuinely exploded, releasing their spiritual energy in a sudden surge.
Spiritual energy could not endure within the Void, but it could exist briefly. If Feng Jun used the Whale-Suction Art during the eruption of energy from those thousand Spirit Stones, absorbing an amount equivalent to forty or fifty Spirit Stones would not have been difficult.
The loss would definitely exceed ninety percent. Even a Nascent Soul True Immortal would surely lose more
