Chapter 1350 1309: Peerless Demon King

Just as Chen Fei was shaken by the power of the Sky Pot of the Limit, Canghu King had already opened his mouth and spat out a stream of radiance, which sank into the body of the Sky Pot of the Limit. The latter shook, heaven and earth swaying, then suddenly soared up and came crashing down toward Chen Fei.

"Secret technique, Taixu Cloud Severing Hand!" At this moment, Canghu King let out a soft shout, and instantly a burst of divine light surged out from the mouth of the soaring Sky Pot of the Limit. The divine light quickly transformed into an enormous hand of cloud, blotting out the sky and sun, filled with the patterns of the Great Dao.

"Taixu Cloud Severing Hand? Canghu King is even using that move?!" Lin King exclaimed in shock.

The Cang Clan's secret technique, Taixu Cloud Severing Hand, is condensed from the essence of the lifebound Spiritual Artifact. In its profundity, it can certainly be called formidable!

"Buzz!" The void trembled violently; this Taixu Cloud Severing Hand was truly like an attack of the Dao itself, even causing the shield that Mystic Soul King had spat out to shake, making anyone who saw it feel that it would shatter at any moment.

Mystic Soul King saw this, his massive flood-dragon eyes narrowing, then he opened his mouth again and exhaled, wildly releasing essence light. Only then did the shield regain stability, stopping its quivering.

After that, his gaze turned toward Chen Fei. This Taixu Cloud Severing Hand was far too powerful; if Chen Fei couldn't withstand it, he would choose to intervene and rescue him.

But when he looked over, he saw Chen Fei perfectly calm. The might in the sky was indeed terrifying, yet Chen Fei remained utterly unafraid.

In his hand, that blazing cluster of flame burned fiercely, drawing all eyes, and soon Mystic Soul King's gaze couldn't help but narrow slightly… because he felt a wisp of dangerous aura appear!

"Bang!" Chen Fei quietly flicked his hand, and the flame in his palm directly transformed into a dragon, like an erupting inferno, burning all heaven and earth as it surged upward against that giant cloud hand.

"Bang! Bang! Bang…" Heaven and earth instantly seemed to be bearing an immeasurable pressure; the roar of sound was like a boundless sea, turning into infinite force rippling out in all directions, yet all of it was blocked by the shield Mystic Soul King had spat out.

Even so, the terror within was still enough to make hearts palpitate deeply.

Seeing this, Canghu King's eyes sharpened, but his absolute confidence still made him murmur, "My Taixu Undying Hand, even against the Spear-wielding War King, would hardly fall far behind! This flame is strong, but…"

Yet before he could finish speaking, that dragon-shaped flame force flashed once in the void, in an instant arriving before the Taixu Undying Hand and smashing into it hard.

Bang! With a dull boom, the dragon flame force touched the cloud mass filling the sky, and the latter was like a mouse meeting a cat—its vast form suddenly contracted, curling into a ball, then immediately began dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What?!" Canghu King's eyes shrank at once, looking somewhat incredulous.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft...

Soon, that gigantic cloud hand that had blotted out the heavens was, under the burning of the flames, completely reduced to having no power to resist at all! Seeing this scene, Canghu King's expression changed several times. In the end he still let out a soft sigh, shook his head, then swept his wide sleeve. Instantly, all the cloud mist in the void was completely withdrawn by him.

Clink! The Sky Pot of the Limit spun once with a swoosh in midair, then returned to hover above his brow.

"I lost…" Canghu King looked at Chen Fei with a complicated expression. That flame pressed down on him too heavily; unless he was willing to burn the essence of his lifebound Spiritual Artifact, he understood that he absolutely could not win.

But there was clearly no need to go that far, so he had lost…

"You truly live up to the name Master Chen… No wonder you dare to clash even with that Spear-wielding War King. With strength like this, you indeed have the right to do so."

"Just luck." Chen Fei smiled, without any hint of conceit on his face. He knew the other party had held back; otherwise, even Thousand Flames Burning Sky would not have won so easily.

"A loss is a loss; what luck is there in that." Canghu King shook his head and said, "Master Chen, rest assured—from this day on, you are a friend of my Cang Clan. As for what happened before, I will forget it."

Cang Jue had always been the junior he valued; otherwise he would not personally have sparred with Chen Fei. But now a loss is a loss, and with Chen Fei's identity as an Alchemist, and the mediation of Heaven-Pillar Hall, old grudges should still be put down when it is time.

"I apologize for my recklessness before." Chen Fei looked at him and said slowly.

"Not at all. Master Chen, you are too courteous." Canghu King shook his head with a smile.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this moment, two figures swept over from the sky and from the side respectively. It was Mystic Soul King and Lin King.

Lin King stared at Chen Fei in shocked puzzlement, a hint of震撼 flickering in his eyes. Clearly, he had never imagined that Chen Fei would be this strong, even defeating Lin Canghu King.

Mystic Soul King, however, poured a basin of cold water on Chen Fei, saying, "Master Chen, your strength is not weak. But if it's only at this level, you're probably still somewhat inferior to that Spear-wielding War King."

"Is that so?"

"Really?"

Canghu King, Chen Fei, and the others all changed expression at the same time.

"The Spear-wielding War King is that formidable?" This was asked by Canghu King, his brows slightly furrowed. He had always believed himself not far behind the Spear-wielding War King, yet now Chen Fei had defeated him, and still, in Mystic Soul King's eyes, he was no match for the Spear-wielding War King. This was something he found hard to accept.

But he was very clear that Mystic Soul King was not someone who liked to joke.

If he said he was no match, then there was a real chance he was no match.

However...

At this time, Mystic Soul King spoke calmly, "I have crossed hands with that Spear-wielding War King before. Though it was only a small skirmish, neither of us using our true means, I know that to defeat him would still be quite difficult. Let alone kill him..."

"Is that so?" Chen Fei's expression sank, his brows knitting together. The Mystic Soul King was a Mystic Heaven Position Demon King, only half a step away from the Peak of Mystic Heaven Position, yet even he was saying this now… Had Chen Fei been thinking about it too simply before?

"I'll trade blows with you once. You compare it to the force he displayed back then. The time would be about ten years ago." At this moment, the Mystic Soul King spoke.

"Alright!" Chen Fei agreed without the slightest hesitation, setting himself in a fighting stance.

The Canghu King and Lin King exchanged a glance, then both rose to their feet, soared into the air, and left this area.

"You strike first!" The Mystic Soul King said to Chen Fei.

"Boom!"

Chen Fei immediately waved his hand, and that brilliant flame appeared once more, unleashing terrifying high heat as it shot toward the Canghu King.

"Thousand Flames Burning Sky!"

"What? The power actually increased again?!" Upon seeing this, the Canghu King couldn't help but feel his heart jolt. Because previously, this move hadn't been this fierce. In other words, Chen Fei had been holding back before?

This Thousand Flames Burning Sky was a complete Minor Divine Art. The instant it appeared, the pressure in this place surged! The temperature rose to a frightening level, suffocating. It rapidly swelled, directly taking the shape of a dragon, manifesting inconceivable power as it enveloped the Mystic Soul King.

But the latter was completely unaffected, not even the slightest bit, merely narrowing his eyes slightly before opening his mouth. A mass of terrifying Demon Qi immediately spread out, like a black, world-annihilating storm.

Bang!

This time the Thousand Flames Burning Sky shattered outright, exploding apart, turning into tattered remnants that were sucked into that demonic mist.

"W-What?" Everyone's expressions changed again, their hearts pounding wildly, feeling it utterly unbelievable! They knew the Mystic Soul King was formidable, but… was the gap really this huge?!

This was simply the bearing of a peerless Demon King! Too towering, too overwhelming.

"Master Chen, prepare yourself, I'm going to move!" From within the demonic mist, the voice of the Mystic Soul King came, and right after that, a long howl rang out. Intense killing intent burst from the demonic mist, firing blazing radiance toward Chen Fei.

It was a pitch-black long spear!

Chills crawled over Chen Fei; the hair all over his body stood on end.

"Boom!"

But immediately after, his expression steadied as he made his move! And this time was different—he drew upon the power of the Judgement True Blade in his sea of consciousness… formless power turned into a ferocious ripple, clinging to his palm as he swung it out in a single slap.

Crack! That pitch-black long spear shattered, though the palm imbued with the power of Judgement True Blade also broke apart in turn. The two slowly faded from existence between heaven and earth at the same time.

"So this is his true strength?!" Thinking back to that moment just now, to that heart-thudding, shocking feeling, the Canghu King stared deeply at Chen Fei, then fell directly into silence.

Clearly, he had never imagined Chen Fei had hidden this much. The gap between their strength was actually this vast?!

"You were hiding your strength before?" The Mystic Soul King also looked at Chen Fei in astonishment and asked.

"Yeah." Chen Fei nodded, but inwardly muttered to himself. He had held back somewhat before, but now this was already ninety-nine percent of his power—yet even that still didn't seem to be enough?

"Your strength isn't bad." The Mystic Soul King gave Chen Fei a deep look and said, "Ten years ago, Master Chen, with this level of strength you'd have been enough to challenge that Spear-wielding War King. At the very least, even if you lost, your safety wouldn't have been in danger. But now…"

The meaning in his words was very clear. The Spear-wielding War King had already been that strong ten years ago; now that ten years had passed, there was no way he hadn't advanced at all, right?

Hearing this, Chen Fei also fell silent. He naturally understood this logic—ten years was enough to change far, far too many things.

"How about I go find him privately first?" The Mystic Soul King suggested at this moment. The Spear-wielding War King might be powerful, but the Mystic Soul King wasn't afraid of him. Moreover, his current trip out was originally because the Nine Dragon King had sent him to deal with the Spear-wielding War King.

The Sense God Pill had come from Chen Fei's hands, which made this person far too important. In any case, nothing could be allowed to go wrong.

"No need." But Chen Fei still shook his head at these words and said, "I'll go into seclusion instead."

"Seclusion?" Everyone was stunned.

There was less than a month left. What good would going into seclusion do at a time like this?

Chen Fei only nodded and didn't explain. Before, to be safe, he had spent a large sum back in Northern Hill City to buy a thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones. He had hesitated over whether to use them, but now it seemed he shouldn't shy away from the trouble—better to be steady, better to be safe.

"Since that's the case, we'll act as your protectors, Master Chen." The Mystic Soul King gave Chen Fei a long, searching look and slowly spoke. What could make Chen Fei this confident, that a single round of seclusion would leave him able to face the Spear-wielding War King? It was truly intriguing.

The Lin King and Canghu King also stared at Chen Fei in surprise, their faces full of doubt.

"Alright, I'll trouble you all then." Chen Fei clasped his hands toward them, then walked into the deep mountains behind. A month was neither long nor short, so he needed to hurry.

At the same time, because of the wild words Chen Fei had released and the gradual approach of the one-month deadline, the entire Flower God Mountain Range was stirred into a tempest, bustling like never before, gathering onlookers from all over the world…

And among them, quite a few were 'acquaintances' of Chen Fei's.
