Clash!

Painting Scroll World, a secret chamber within the Xingfeng Sect.

Ripples, like waves on water, suddenly appeared in the sealed room.

Chen Feng, with his silver hair, emerged from the ripples.

After returning to the Painting Scroll World, Chen Feng first examined the painting deep within his sea of consciousness.

After he survived the heavenly tribulation, the painting remained unchanged.

"It seems that only after truly reaching the Spirit Transformation will the painting change," Chen Feng concluded.

Just then, he seemed to sense something, and his figure vanished from the spot.

Chen Feng arrived above Xingfeng Sect.

At this moment, golden spiritual rain continues to fall in the Northern Territory.

Sensing the unique aura within the spiritual rain, a look of surprise flashed in Chen Feng's eyes:

"This is spiritual rain formed from the primordial energy of heaven and earth!"

Chen Feng immediately spread his Divine Sense to investigate.

The entire Xingfeng Sect was within the range of his Divine Sense.

The cultivators of the Xingfeng Sect are now all sitting cross-legged on the ground, cultivating.

As Chen Feng's divine sense spread out, many cultivators from the Xingfeng Sect immediately sensed it.

Before long, several figures arrived high in the sky.

Beaver, Ge Yunxuan, and He Menghan arrived.

These three people recently returned to the North.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

The group bowed to Chen Feng while simultaneously sizing Chen Feng up.

After all, Chen Feng had been in seclusion for a full ten years this time.

They wanted to see if Chen Feng had changed at all in the past ten years.

Upon observation, the group noticed something unusual: it seemed as if an impenetrable veil was covering Chen Feng.

This gave them the illusion that they couldn't sense Chen Feng's presence.

Chen Feng stretched out his hand, letting the golden spiritual raindrops fall into his palm, and asked:

What's going on with this spiritual rain?

Upon hearing this, Ge Yunxuan immediately recounted the events surrounding the Void Refinement cultivator:

"Sect Master, you'll have to ask Senior Zhengjiao for details. Only he went to the starry sky at that time."

Chen Feng: "Where is he?"

"Senior Ezhengjiao is in the back mountain, he must be cultivating," Ge Yunxuan said softly.

Chen Feng's Divine Sense hadn't been concealed at all; even they could sense it, let alone Zheng Jiao.

The cunning fellow's absence was clearly an act of putting on airs.

But this was a matter between his own sect leader and Zheng Jiao, so he dared not speak carelessly.

"He's advanced to the Nascent Spirit Transformation, and now he thinks he's all there is to it, right?" Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh.

Beaver quickly said:

"Sect Master, Senior Zhengjiao definitely didn't mean that. He was probably fighting with a Void Refinement cultivator before, and that's why he was injured. I'll go and inform him right away."

However, before Beaver could finish speaking, Chen Feng vanished from the spot.

Upon seeing Chen Feng disappear, Ge Yunxuan said:

"Senior Zhengjiao is probably in for a rough time."

Beaver's expression changed, and she quickly said, "Let's go over there and try to persuade them!"

The beaver then transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the back of the mountain.

Ge Yunxuan and He Menghan quickly followed.

Behind the Xingfeng Sect, Zhengjiao was lying prone at the entrance of his cave abode.

He had naturally sensed Chen Feng's Divine Sense just now, but he did not go over.

He has now reached the Spirit Transformation, while Chen Feng's emergence from seclusion at this time clearly indicates that he has not yet broken through to the Spirit Transformation.

How could a Demon Beast at the Spirit Transformation stage personally go to greet Chen Feng?

He was determined to experience what it was like to be paid homage by that brat today.

Just thinking about Chen Feng coming over later and calling him "senior" filled Zheng Jiao with anticipation.

Just as he was thinking, a figure appeared silently beside him.

Zhengjiao was immediately startled; he hadn't even noticed anyone appearing beside him.

But the next second, a tremendous force suddenly came.

Zheng Jiao suddenly felt a kick, and the force of the kick was so great that it sent him flying!

After spinning several times in the air, the cunning creature finally came to a stop.

He looked down and saw Chen Feng standing where he had been standing.

Chen Feng looked at Zheng Jiao and said:

"I heard you've advanced to the Nascent Spirit Transformation stage. Let's have a match and see what you're made of!"

Upon hearing this, Zhengjiao instinctively took a step back.

But soon he realized that he was now at the Spirit Transformation stage.

Chen Feng is just a Nascent Soul Cultivator, why should he be cowardly?

Zheng Jiao snorted and said, "Fighting is fine, but you can't use Law Treasure."

Chen Feng nodded. "Okay."

Zhengjiao added, "Other weapons are also unusable."

"Okay." Chen Feng smiled.

"You can't use your Divine Ability Divine Ability either, especially that one that can condense stars," Zhengjiao said again.

Chen Feng said helplessly, "I won't use any Divine Ability, I'll just use my physical strength, is that alright?"

"Are you telling the truth?" Zheng Jiao clearly hadn't expected Chen Feng to actually not intend to use other methods.

Although he had already advanced to the Spirit Transformation stage, he wasn't confident he could defeat Chen Feng, who used a variety of methods.

After all, even the Demon God of yesteryear was defeated by Chen Feng.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's go somewhere else." After saying that, Chen Feng immediately transformed into a streak of light and left.

Seeing this, Zhengjiao gritted his teeth and followed.

The North, the Great Forest.

Chen Feng appeared here.

Zhengjiao followed closely behind.

Zhengjiao looked at Chen Feng and said, "Fellow Daoist, I won't hold back. If I accidentally injure you, please don't hold a grudge."

"Okay." Chen Feng remained standing in the air without moving.

He also wanted to see just how much strength Zheng Jiao had increased after advancing to the Nascent Spirit Transformation.

Without another word, Zhengjiao roared towards the sky.

In an instant!

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of thousands of miles converged on him like the sea.

Immediately afterwards, his size began to increase rapidly.

Before long, a colossal beast with limbs covered in bone spurs appeared in the air.

Chen Feng was as insignificant as an ant in front of this behemoth.

Looking at Zhengjiao's current appearance, Chen Feng nodded.

In terms of appearance, the Zhengjiao is quite different from before.

The bone spurs on his limbs must be a change that occurred after he advanced to the Spirit Transformation.

As Chen Feng pondered, a huge, cunning beast claw slammed down towards Chen Feng.

The moment the giant claw struck, the space around Chen Feng was instantly locked.

Countless streams of spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged into the beast's claw.

Besides the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, Chen Feng also sensed the aura of primordial energy.

Faced with the descending giant claw, Chen Feng made no move; he simply stood there with his hands behind his back.

Seeing that Chen Feng did not make a move, Zheng Jiao thought to himself:

"Hmph, still pretending? Wait till I beat you to the ground, then see if you'll beg for mercy!"

As expected, the cunning beast's enormous claw struck Chen Feng.

A terrifying explosion immediately rang out in the arena, and powerful energy fluctuations spread outwards.

First, the space around Chen Feng shattered!

Immediately afterwards, countless trees in the great forest fell down as quickly as grass being cut by a scythe.

The entire forest now has a clearing spanning hundreds of kilometers.

The clouds in the sky were also blown away by the shockwave.

In the distance, Beaver, Ge Yunxuan, and the others had already arrived.

After failing to find Zheng Jiao and Chen Feng in the back mountain, they rushed here by relying on the fluctuations of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Upon seeing the terrifying energy fluctuations in the distance, the group's expressions turned grave.

"They've really started! Will the sect leader be alright?" He Menghan asked worriedly.

She was only at the Golden Core stage, but even from this distance, she could feel the terrifying power.

If she were in that area, she would probably have been instantly wiped out by that energy.

Ge Yunxuan said with a smile, "Don't worry, although Senior Zhengjiao has already advanced to the Nascent Spirit Transformation, defeating the sect leader won't be so simple."

Beaver nodded in agreement.

"Yes, and Senior Zhengjiao is sensible; he wouldn't do anything to harm the sect leader."

Just as Beaver finished speaking...

A savage and terrified voice came from afar:

"How is this possible! How can your physical body be so strong!"

Just as they heard these words, a vicious, agonizing scream rang out from afar.

Upon hearing the sound, Ge Yunxuan and Beaver immediately released their Divine Sense to investigate.

They quickly came into clear view of the scene in the distance.

Chen Feng was seen holding the monstrous beast in one hand as it flew into the sky.

The image is very impactful, like an ant carrying an elephant.

After flying to a high place, Chen Feng slammed the cunning beast hard onto the ground!

The ground collapsed instantly after the fall!

Then a huge crater, tens of meters deep, appeared.

Zhengjiao did put up a fight; as soon as Chen Feng grabbed him, he repeatedly swung his beast claws at Chen Feng.

But Chen Feng Chen Feng withstood every attack that struck him with his bare body.

Chen Feng was like a branding iron; he couldn't budge him an inch.

"Divine Ability your divine talent!" Chen Feng looked at Zheng Jiao from the air.

After being baptized by three days of lightning tribulation, even he himself did not know exactly how strong his physical body had become.

He urgently needs to verify this, and the cunning and treacherous one is the perfect target.

Based on their recent exchange, he had deduced that his physical strength had likely reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation.

Even when faced with Divine Ability, he could withstand them with his physical body alone.

The cunning beast, which had been thrown into the deep pit, roared again, its massive mouth opening wide at that moment.

A vortex appeared in its mouth.

Innate Divine Ability power: Soul Devouring!

After reaching the Spirit Transformation, the power of the Ferocious Demonic Divine Ability became several times stronger than before.

That terrifying suction force directly covered an area of hundreds of kilometers around.

The powerful suction turned the sky in this area black, and the suction created terrifying gales.

Beaver and the others, who were far away, immediately felt as if their souls were about to leave their bodies.

"Not good, retreat quickly!" Beaver hurriedly led Ge Yunxuan and the other person back a distance.

The shock in their eyes was no longer concealed; even from such a distance, their very souls were affected.

At the center of the suction force, Chen Feng was facing an incredibly terrifying suction.

In the heart of the great forest, darkness had descended.

The vortex in the cunning creature's mouth was spinning rapidly.

However, Chen Feng was completely unaffected by this terrifying suction force.

Because his soul had long since transformed into Primordial Spirit, its strength was naturally incomparable to what it had been before.

With his current Primordial Spirit strength, the Zhenjiao supernatural Divine Ability cannot shake him.

After absorbing the energy for a while, Zheng Jiao also discovered that his Divine Ability could not affect Chen Feng, which made him even more horrified.

"How could my Divine Ability be ineffective against you! Even the Primordial Spirit of a Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm cannot withstand my Soul Devouring technique. How did you manage to do it?"

Zhengjiao's confidence had vanished.

He never imagined that Chen Feng's strength would undergo such a dramatic change after only ten years of seclusion.

Chen Feng didn't speak, but flashed in front of Zheng Jiao and then threw a punch!

Boom!

Although it was just a simple punch, it directly knocked off a large section of the scales on the Zhenjiao's body.

Zhengjiao was slammed into the ground again.

"Your talents aren't limited to just this one, so hurry up and use them!" Chen Feng said, looking at Zheng Jiao.

A sinister voice echoed from within the deep pit:

"Fellow Daoist, I'm giving up! I surrender! I surrender!"

Zheng Jiao finally understood: Chen Feng's physical body had become stronger than before.

It was already difficult for him to break through Chen Feng's physical body using only his strength.

Unless he resorts to desperate measures, but if he does, who knows if Chen Feng will retaliate and use similar tactics against him?

Therefore, Zhengjiao decisively chose to admit defeat.

At this moment, three streaks of light flew over from a distance; it was Beaver and his two companions.

Seeing the three approach, Zheng Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fellow Daoist, let's fight another day, another day."

The beavers rushed over after they saw the energy fluctuations in the distance subside, fearing that Chen Feng and Zheng Jiao might really get into a fight.

When the three of them saw the cunning creature covered in wounds, they were all shocked.

Zheng Jiao has already become Spirit Transformation, so how come he was beaten like this by the sect leader just like before?

Beaver was the first to react, and she quickly said to Chen Feng:

"Sect Master, Yin Yin fell into a coma again recently."

Hearing this, Chen Feng frowned. "Unconscious? What happened?"

The beaver quickly replied:

"We don't know the reason either. She fainted in front of that pavilion. Sect Master, why don't you go and take a look?"

Chen Feng glanced at the monstrous creature on the ground and then said coldly:

"I'll let it go today, but if you dare to put on airs again next time, you know the consequences."

After saying that, Chen Feng's figure disappeared from the spot.

Beaver breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chen Feng leave.

As expected, his sect leader would definitely not make a move as long as Yin Yin was mentioned.

Beaver then looked at Zhengjiao and said, "Senior, can't you be a little cowardly? The sect leader has come out of seclusion, and you still haven't come to see him."

Ge Yunxuan and He Menghan, who were standing nearby, remained silent. Their relationship with Zheng Jiao was not as good as Hai Li's, so they naturally dared not say the same things as Hai Li.

After seeing Chen Feng leave, Zheng Jiao's expression returned to normal.

"I was just careless this time; I didn't expect his physical body to have become even stronger."

Even now, as Zheng Jiao recalls the previous battle, he still feels astonished.

In particular, the fact that his Soul Devouring Divine Ability was useless against Chen Feng was something he couldn't understand.

Logically speaking, even if Chen Feng's strength has broken through and his physical body is already able to contend with the Spirit Transformation, his divine soul is not so easy to strengthen.

"Could it be that he has already possessed Primordial Spirit?" This thought crossed Zheng Jiao's mind.

Only this explanation makes sense: why Chen Feng was able to withstand his Soul Devouring Divine Ability.

But how could Chen Feng possibly have a Primordial Spirit? He hadn't even survived the tribulation of lightning.

The more Zhengjiao thought about it, the more confused he became.

"Senior, let's hurry over there. The sect leader will definitely ask us some questions later," Beaver reminded him.

"Alright, I understand. You guys go ahead." Zheng Jiao was clearly in a bad mood.

He was excited for a long time after his advancement to the Nascent Spirit Transformation.

Now, after being beaten up by Chen Feng, his joy vanished instantly.

Beaver didn't ask any more questions and then left with Ge Yunxuan and the other person.

Chen Feng appeared in Yin Yin's room.

He was looking at Yinyin lying on the bed with his brows furrowed.

Yin Yin looks almost exactly the same as she did when she was in a coma ten years ago.

"Sect Master, could it be because the Divine Sense of an old monster at the Void Refinement stage descended upon the Northern Territory when Yin Yin was unconscious?"

Liu Qian spoke to Chen Feng.

Upon learning that Chen Feng had emerged from seclusion, Liu Qian rushed over immediately.

"Do you know the origin of that Void Refinement Old Monster?" Chen Feng asked.

Liu Qian shook his head. "I don't know about that, but I remember that before the Void Refinement Old Monster appeared, the sky of Canglan Star suddenly turned red, and not long after, Void Refinement level Divine Sense appeared. I guess it should be related to that red color."

"Senior Zhengjiao told me before that he saw Lu Linyuan in the starry sky. As for that Void Refinement Old Monster, probably only Alliance Leader Lu knows about it."

"Red." Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of his tribulation.

According to Liu Qian's description, the red anomaly that appeared on Canglan Star was the time when he triggered the tribulation lightning.

This red color is likely his tribulation lightning.

But how could his own tribulation have attracted the Void Refinement Old Monster?
