Chu Feng activated his fourth Spirit Skill, his body entering Etherealization along with Qian Renxue.

Etherealization was Chu Feng's most flamboyant defensive maneuver.

In this flamboyant state, Chu Feng was capable of nullifying all effects.

"Pop~!"

Bibi Dong's torso Spirit Bone skill struck Chu Feng and Qian Renxue directly.

Yet, the damage was simply consumed by Etherealization, failing to inflict any substantial harm upon Chu Feng or Qian Renxue.

The formidable attack slammed into them as if hitting nothing but shadows.

"Is this Etherealization? This skill is truly incredible!"

After entering the state of Etherealization with Chu Feng, Qian Renxue felt the profound mystery of being impossible to hit and could not help but speak from the heart.

Compared to this defensive skill of Chu Feng's, Bibi Dong's defensive skills were simply trash.

Chu Feng's defensive skill didn't rely on tankiness or health; it relied purely on evasion.

Once evasion was maxed out, it meant being impossible to hit.

As long as the state of Etherealization was maintained, it didn't matter if it was an absolute single-target attack, a homing attack, an area-of-effect attack, a curse, a toxin, or a mental attack—all would be perfectly avoided.

Furthermore, upon entering this state, Etherealization instantly purged all negative effects from the user.

Right now, Qian Renxue felt refreshed, as every negative effect within her body had been cleared away.

There was no need to laboriously expend Angel Spirit Power to suppress the poison of the Death Spider Emperor within her.

"Little brother Chu Feng, what on earth is your brain made of? How did you ever think to install such a defensive Spirit Skill onto your Spirit!"

Having experienced the profound wonders of Etherealization, Qian Renxue really wanted to dig open Chu Feng's brain to take a look.

How exactly was his brain constructed to be so remarkably different?

How did he think of things that others never could?

Just for this Spirit Skill that granted Etherealization, even if Qian Renxue racked her brains until they broke, she would never have been able to conceive of it.

Chu Feng's defensive philosophy ran completely counter to theirs.

The defensive philosophy of a normal Spirit Master was either to stack health, stack armor, or stack recovery.

Only Chu Feng took a different path; he didn't stack defense, health, or recovery, but instead thought of simply not taking the opponent's damage by stacking 100% evasion.

Faced with 100% evasion, even life-draining abilities were useless.

Everyone had two shoulders carrying a head, but Qian Renxue felt that what she carried on her shoulders was just a lump of clay.

Meanwhile, what Chu Feng carried on his shoulders was a luminous pearl; even in the darkest night, its brilliance could not be concealed.

"I told you to use your brain more often. What's hanging on your shoulders is a head, not a papaya!"

Hearing this, Chu Feng dotingly tapped Qian Renxue on the forehead.

This tap had no force behind it; it was merely the playful banter of a couple.

Qian Renxue instinctively recoiled, rubbing her little head with her hand.

She stuck out her little tongue.

She explained pitifully: "I do use my brain, I'm just not as smart as you.

Also, stop tapping my head! It's not very smart to begin with, and if you keep tapping it, I'll really turn stupid!"

Don't blame me if your future wife isn't smart.

Watching her cute little gesture of rubbing her head, Chu Feng's eyes were filled with tenderness.

One naturally had to dote on one's own girlfriend.

He explained softly: "It wouldn't hurt to tell you. Actually, it was mostly luck.

At first, I hadn't planned on installing this Etherealization skill onto my fourth Spirit Ring; it was entirely an accident!"

Chu Feng recalled the time he broke through to the Spirit Ancestor realm.

Back then, he had indeed considered installing a defensive-type skill for his fourth Spirit Ring.

But after searching everywhere and finding nothing, he had no choice but to install an offensive one.

As it turned out, when he installed it, he hadn't expected that the fourth Spirit Ring wouldn't inherit the offensive attributes of that Void Spirit Beast, but instead inherited its hidden attribute: Etherealization.

Thus, Chu Feng gained this Etherealization skill.

After obtaining this Etherealization skill, Chu Feng discovered it was more useful than any defensive-type Spirit Skill.

The Etherealization skill provided absolutely no tankiness; instead, it granted him 100% evasion.

Furthermore, 100% evasion was merely the tip of the iceberg for this skill; the true power of Etherealization lay in its immunity to all negative effects.

Even negative effects that had already taken hold would be nullified once Etherealization was activated.

However, this Etherealization skill did have one fatal flaw: he could not attack while in a state of complete Etherealization.

To attack or activate a Spirit Skill, he had to either deactivate the Etherealization state or convert it into a semi-ethereal energy state.

If the Etherealization state didn't have this limitation, and he could launch attacks while in it, Chu Feng would dare to walk up to even the Five Great God Kings or the Supreme Dragon God, slap them twice, and tell them his name is Chu Feng!

"How was it accidental?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

Chu Feng replied, "The accident was that my fourth Spirit Ring was supposed to be a defensive spirit skill, but unfortunately, it didn't inherit the Spirit Beast's defensive traits. Instead, it unexpectedly inherited its hidden trait: Etherealization.

And so, my fourth spirit skill became the Etherealization you see now!"

If the Etherealization trait of the Spirit Beast Chu Feng hunted back then hadn't been a hidden trait, but rather an active one, Chu Feng would never have had the chance to hunt it.

Therefore, Chu Feng's luck was truly incredible.

What else could Qian Renxue say? Aside from envy, there was only more envy.

If only she could have such an encounter, though Qian Renxue knew such encounters were rare and could not be sought.

Little brother Chu Feng was simply blessed with good luck.

"You really don't take me seriously at all, daring to flirt right in front of me like there's no one else around!"

Seeing Chu Feng and Qian Renxue flirting as if no one else existed after nullifying her attack, Bibi Dong was deeply provoked.

Those whose love lives are unhappy are most sensitive to others showing off their affection in front of them.

Bibi Dong's own love life was never fulfilled; her relationship with Yu Xiaogang ended in tragedy.

She couldn't stand seeing others being sweet.

Moreover, this person was the bloodline of the man who had ruined her entire life.

Provoked, Bibi Dong instantly fell into an endless rage.

"You have angered me, I want you both dead!"

"Soft Bone Charm Spirit Bone skill: Other Shore of Dreams!"

"Head Mental Immunity Spirit Bone skill: Real World!"

In a state of extreme fury, Bibi Dong shouted, activating two Spirit Bone skills simultaneously.

Real World was a skill that consumed a massive amount of her mental energy; activating it would drain one-third of her mental power instantly.

Under normal circumstances, Bibi Dong would never use it.

Real World combined with Other Shore of Dreams was the most powerful skill Bibi Dong currently possessed.

The superposition of these two spirit skills could turn an illusion into reality.

If a god appeared in the illusion, it would be a true god!

This discovery was something Bibi Dong only stumbled upon now, having been pushed to a desperate situation by Chu Feng, realizing these two skills could potentially fuse into a new one.

Watching Bibi Dong activate her final trump cards, Real World and Other Shore of Dreams, Chu Feng shielded Qian Renxue behind him, simultaneously deactivated his Etherealization, and lit up his sixth Spirit Ring.

The black light on the Overlord Spear shone brilliantly, every ray of light incredibly sharp, capable of piercing through everything.

"The roc takes flight upon the wind, soaring upward to break through the clouds."

"I have a spear to rend the firmament, sweeping across ten thousand miles to awe the eight wildernesses."

"Sixth spirit skill: I Have a Spear to Open the Heavenly Gate!"
