I Have a Spear That Opens Heaven's Gate

Chu Feng activated his fourth Soul Skill, taking Qian Renxue with him into Etherealization.

Etherealization was Chu Feng's most ridiculous means of defense.

In this state, Chu Feng was immune to all effects.

"Pop!"

Bibi Dong's Torso Soul Bone Skill struck Chu Feng and Qian Renxue directly.

But the damage was swallowed up by Etherealization, causing neither Chu Feng nor Qian Renxue any actual harm.

The powerful attack hit them as though it had struck their shadows.

"So this is Etherealization? This skill is really amazing!"

After entering the Etherealization state alongside Chu Feng and experiencing the wonder of being impossible to hit, Qian Renxue couldn't help but praise it sincerely.

Compared with Chu Feng's, Bibi Dong's defensive skill was simply terrible.

Chu Feng's defensive skill didn't rely on toughness or vitality. It relied purely on evasion.

Max out evasion, and you became impossible to hit.

As long as he maintained Etherealization, it didn't matter whether the attack was a single-target strike, a tracking attack, an area-of-effect attack, a curse, poison, or a mental attack; he could evade them all perfectly.

What's more, entering this state instantly cleared away all negative effects on him.

Qian Renxue now felt refreshed, with all her negative effects gone.

She no longer had to exert herself using Angel Spirit Power to suppress the Death Spider Emperor's poison inside her body.

"Little Brother Chu Feng, what on earth is your brain made of? How did you come up with installing a defensive Soul Skill like this on your Martial Soul?"

Having experienced the incredible nature of Etherealization, Qian Renxue really wanted to open Chu Feng's head and take a look inside.

What on earth was his brain made of? How could it be so different from everyone else's?

How did he come up with things no one else could think of?

Just this Soul Skill that granted Etherealization was something Qian Renxue could never have come up with, no matter how hard she racked her brains.

Chu Feng's approach to defense ran completely counter to theirs.

Ordinary Spirit Masters defended themselves by stacking vitality, armor, or recovery.

Only Chu Feng had taken a different path. He didn't stack defense, vitality, or recovery. Instead, he'd thought of avoiding the opponent's damage altogether by stacking 100% evasion.

Against 100% evasion, even Life and Death Manipulation was useless.

They both had two shoulders and a head, yet Qian Renxue felt like she had a lump on her shoulders.

Meanwhile, what Chu Feng carried on his shoulders was a luminous pearl, whose brilliance couldn't be concealed even in the dead of night.

"I keep telling you to use your brain more. You've got a head on your shoulders, not a watermelon!"

As he spoke, Chu Feng affectionately tapped Qian Renxue on the forehead.

He barely used any force. It was just a bit of playful teasing between lovers.

Qian Renxue instinctively shrank back and rubbed her little head.

She stuck out her tongue.

Looking pitiful, she explained, "I do use my brain. I'm just not as clever as you.

"And stop tapping my head. I'm not all that smart to begin with. If you keep doing that, I really will turn stupid!"

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

Watching her adorable little gesture as she rubbed her head, Chu Feng's eyes filled with tenderness.

Of course he would spoil his own girlfriend.

He gently explained, "There's no harm in telling you. When you think about it, it really came down to luck.

"At first, I never intended to give my fourth Spirit Ring an Etherealization Soul Skill. It was a complete coincidence!"

Chu Feng recalled the time he broke through to Soul Ancestor.

Back then, he had indeed considered giving his fourth Spirit Ring a defensive Soul Skill.

But after searching everywhere without finding one, he had no choice but to install an offensive skill instead.

When he did, he hadn't expected the fourth Spirit Ring to inherit the Void Spirit Beast's hidden trait, Etherealization, rather than its attack attribute.

And so Chu Feng gained this Etherealization skill.

After gaining it, Chu Feng realized it was more useful than any defensive Soul Skill.

Etherealization didn't provide any toughness at all. Instead, it gave him 100% evasion.

Moreover, 100% evasion was only the tip of the iceberg. The real power of Etherealization lay in its immunity to all negative effects.

Even negative effects that had already taken hold were nullified once he activated Etherealization.

However, this Etherealization skill did have one fatal flaw: while fully ethereal, he couldn't attack.

To attack or use a Soul Skill, he had to either end Etherealization or transform into a semi-ethereal energy state.

If Etherealization didn't have this restriction and he could attack while in that state, then even if one of the Five Great God Kings or the Supreme Dragon God showed up, Chu Feng would dare to go over and slap them twice, just to tell them his name was Chu Feng!

"How did it happen by chance?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

Chu Feng said, "The coincidence was that I'd actually installed a defensive Soul Skill on my fourth Spirit Ring, but unfortunately, it didn't inherit the Spirit Beast's defensive trait. Instead, it unexpectedly inherited its hidden trait, Etherealization.

"And so my fourth Soul Skill became the Etherealization you see now!"

If Etherealization had been the Spirit Beast's obvious trait rather than a hidden one, Chu Feng would never have been able to hunt it in the first place.

So Chu Feng really had been lucky.

What could Qian Renxue say? She could only envy him.

She wished she could have such an encounter too, but she knew that such opportunities couldn't be sought out.

Little Brother Chu Feng had simply been lucky.

"You two really don't take me seriously at all. You dare flirt so openly right in front of me!"

After Bibi Dong's attack had been nullified, Chu Feng and Qian Renxue had started flirting as though no one else were there.

It deeply enraged her.

For someone whose love life had gone badly, there was nothing worse than watching others flaunt their affection right in front of her.

Bibi Dong's love had never found a happy ending; her relationship with Yu Xiaogang had ended in tragedy.

She couldn't stand seeing anyone else happy.

And the man in front of her was descended from the very man who had ruined her life.

Consumed by provocation, Bibi Dong instantly fell into boundless fury.

"You've angered me. I'll kill you!"

"Soft Bone Charm Soul Bone Skill: Other Shore of Dreams!"

"Head Mental Immunity Soul Bone Skill: Real World!"

In a fit of rage, Bibi Dong shouted and activated both Soul Bone Skills at once.

Real World consumed an enormous amount of her mental strength. Activating it immediately used up one-third of it.

Under normal circumstances, Bibi Dong wouldn't use it.

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

Combined, the two Soul Skills could make an illusion real.

If a god appeared in the illusion, then that god would be real!

Bibi Dong had only made this discovery by chance after Chu Feng had driven her to the brink. She'd realized that the two skills might be combined into a new one.

Seeing Bibi Dong activate her final trump cards—Real World and Other Shore of Dreams—at the same time, Chu Feng shielded Qian Renxue behind him, ended his own Etherealization, and lit up his sixth Spirit Ring.

The black light on the Overlord Spear shone brilliantly. Every gleam of its light was razor-sharp, capable of piercing through anything.

"A roc rises on the wind and soars, breaking through the clouds!"

"With one spear, I split the vault of heaven, sweeping across ten thousand miles to awe the eight wastelands!"

"Sixth Soul Skill: I Have a Spear That Opens Heaven's Gate!"
