The defining trait of Spatial Slash was that it completely ignored physical defenses.
Unless one's own density had reached the level where it could draw in mass and passively distort the surrounding space, there was no way to resist Spatial Slash through physical defense alone.
Although Demon Spirit had only two hundred thousand years of cultivation, its abilities made up for it with their strangeness, making them especially difficult to guard against. Even Ferocious Beasts of the same cultivation level were no match for it.
A flicker of light flashed through Chen Ming's eyes. His fifth Spirit Ring, originating from the hundred-thousand-year Sacred Illusion Demon Ape, activated both of its skills at once.
One of the skills was Spiritual Awakening. Effect: increased Spiritual Power and Soul Power intensity by one hundred percent. Soul Power consumption reduced by 20%, recovery increased by 20%.
The second was Withering Imprint. Effect: imprint the enemy with Spiritual Power, locking onto them while continuously consuming their Soul Power, Bloodline Power, and Spiritual Power.
Chen Ming's Spiritual Power was already at a terrifying level. With this skill's enhancement, it had broken through to the Spirit Domain Realm in some ways.
The energy between heaven and earth had become clearly visible within Chen Ming's perception. He could use his Spiritual Power to drive, alter, and combine the forces of heaven and earth, wielding them as naturally as his own Soul Power.
As Chen Ming's thoughts began to stir, flames appeared out of thin air and surged toward Demon Spirit. The flames had reached the level of the true Extreme Fire of the Douluo World. Even Demon Spirit's Soul Power could not withstand their searing might.
Demon Spirit's body began to twist and writhe, transforming into a ball of light whose true form could not be made out.
