Chapter 1418: Chapter 1418: First Battle with the Mysterious Shadow
"Hand over the book in your hand, and I might spare your life." The shadowy figure emitted a raspy voice, filled with an astonishing pressure.
In the next moment, a terrifying shock wave swept from his side, pinning Ye Feng and the other two in place with no power to resist.
"Scram!"
Ye Feng instantly activated his Holy Divine Form. Though there was no visible change, the pressure on him vanished, and Hu Feifei and the Heavenly Path Spiritual Monkey beside him relaxed their tense hearts.
"Hmm!"
The shadow fixed his gaze on Ye Feng, still releasing his pressure, but was startled to find that Ye Feng remained unaffected.
His true body exceeded the Thirty-third Layer Immortal Emperor tier. Even though he was undergoing decline and only a fragment of his Law Incarnation had come, he was still formidable.
Logically, no one below the Thirty-third Layer Immortal Emperor tier should be able to resist him.
Yet, Ye Feng was withstanding the pressure!
Ye Feng put away the "The Path Scripture" and, with a thought, absorbed Hu Feifei and the Heavenly Path Spiritual Monkey into his mini-universe, then coldly said:
"Shadow? Conspirator?"
The shadow was taken aback and said, "You actually know the term ’Conspirator.’ It seems you know many secrets. You must die then."
"It seems you are indeed the so-called Conspirator, and this so-called Shadow is just something you Conspirators have created, isn’t it?" Ye Feng took a deep breath, and the surrounding starry sky dimmed, concealing the scene here.
In this way, many cultivators would find it difficult to observe this patch of the starry sky, preventing the revelation of this secret and the ensuing panic it might trigger across the Starry Sky World.
The shadow spoke indifferently:
"Kid, the more you know, the less it will benefit you, understand? Hand over the book, and do not break through beyond the Thirty-third Layer. Otherwise, death awaits you."
"Why should I agree to you?" Ye Feng crossed his arms behind him, completely unfazed by the pressure.
The Holy Divine Form was indeed powerful.
Using this method, Ye Feng could seize the opportunity to gather intelligence and confirm from the conversation just now that the shadow and Conspirator were in cahoots.
This information was extremely crucial.
However, Ye Feng didn’t understand why these top-ranked Immortal Emperors above the Thirty-third Layer were hiding in the small Starry Sky World, as if in seclusion.
"The Heavenly Dao-level World-breaking Pearl obtained by the Ancient Holy God might very well have been created by these conspirators."
Ye Feng considered this possibility.
Seeing Ye Feng so unyielding, the shadow became displeased and said, "I see you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Today, I will obliterate you!"
Boom!
With just one palm, a terrifying beam of law burst from the shadow’s palm, instantly engulfing Ye Feng’s location, attempting to destroy him at the fundamental level of life.
"So strong!" Ye Feng could feel the dreadful power, thinking that even if the Ancient Celestial Emperor were in his place, he would be annihilated instantly.
A moment later.
The shadow retracted his hand and said proudly, "A mere ant at the fifteenth level, I see you... hmm! Unharmed? How is that possible?"
In the starry sky.
Ye Feng stood in place, his hairstyle untouched, even beckoning at the shadow with a finger, saying, "Is that all your strength? Go on!"
In the instant of the shadow’s strike, Ye Feng accurately sensed his law, resolutely observing and deducing, gaining significant benefits.
If he often battled with the shadow, he might even speed up the deduction and perfection of these laws.
This prospect thrilled Ye Feng.𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Damn it!"
The shadow, never before provoked like this, suddenly unleashed a vast aura of law, attempting to utterly obliterate Ye Feng. This attack lasted a full thirty seconds, enough to kill even a Thirty-third Layer Immortal Emperor.
"Let’s see if you’re dead this time!"
After ending his attack, the shadow’s incarnation felt a bit worn, and even his true body, currently enduring decline, felt uncomfortable.
Yet, upon looking around.
Ye Feng was sitting there drinking tea, even crossing one leg over the other, completely disregarding him.
"Why aren’t you dead yet?"
Feeling incredulous, the shadow continued to launch attacks, but after three minutes, his body became extremely faint, while Ye Feng still sat there, enjoying tea, unharmed.
"Not bad, indeed, it’s good tea!" Ye Feng put down his teacup, savoring the laws unleashed by the shadow, deducing and reaping substantial gains.
"You’re driving me mad!"
The shadow steeled his heart, instantly evaporating all the power of this Law Incarnation, transforming it into a sword of law that struck towards Ye Feng.
Crack!
The sword of law inexplicably shattered into countless light particles that scattered around, and Ye Feng seized the moment to comprehend, and a new Order Chain manifested in his palm, which he casually tossed into his mini-universe.
"How is this possible?"
Even now, the shadow could not believe it, and then this incarnation completely vanished, as if it had never existed.
"Finally retreated!"
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Truth be told, the shadow was terrifying.
If it weren’t for the support of the Holy Divine Form, he would have been crushed by the opponent, with no room for resistance.
In the darkness.
"How is this person not dead?"
"Strange!"
"He seems to possess a strange domain, capable of ignoring law-induced annihilation, so using a Law Incarnation cannot harm him; we must deploy the true body."
"True body? Ha! If you wish to die, then use your true body. I am still in decline, inconvenient to deploy the true body."
The conspirators bickered amongst themselves once more.
"Stop arguing, I will continue to make efforts, surely I can inflict a fatal wound on this person." The conspirator who previously targeted Ye Feng spoke again.
The other conspirators immediately fell silent.
With a soft "pfft."
It sounded as if someone spat out blood.
In the next moment, a blood-colored figure floated out from a place in the North Pole Star System, absorbing star fragments and coalescing into a towering figure, completely enveloped in impenetrable blood-red armor, including the face and eyes.
The might of an Immortal Emperor at the Thirty-third Layer tier erupted, causing the starry sky to tremble.
The entire Starry Sky World was alarmed.
Even though Ye Feng had intended to hide, he couldn’t prevent this battle from being observed by countless cultivators.
Emperor Star.
The Ancient Holy God clenched his fist, had he not received a transmission from Ye Feng advising him not to act recklessly, he would have already rushed out.
"Boy, let’s see if you die this time!"
The Blood-Colored Armored Warrior extended a hand to grasp a blood-colored long spear, condensed from star fragments and laws. Once thrown, it could kill a Thirty-third Layer Immortal Emperor.
"What if I don’t die?" Ye Feng said.
"Die for me!" The Blood-Colored Armored Warrior, defeated in argument by Ye Feng, immediately hurled the blood-colored long spear towards him. But with a mere "crack," it shattered into powder.
And Ye Feng remained unharmed throughout.
"How could this be?" The Blood-Colored Armored Warrior’s eyes were dazed, not expecting that even this could not kill Ye Feng.
In the starry sky.
Ye Feng realized a problem: compared to the shadow, the Blood-Colored Armored Warrior had a physical form, and the power within him was inexhaustible.
This meant the opponent could delay him.
"Things can’t continue like this, otherwise the Blood-Colored Armored Warrior will keep stalling me, hindering the Sect’s development and preventing me from elevating my strength," Ye Feng’s expression grew stern, "Moreover, if this person were to strike at the Sect, it would be dangerous. I must find a way to repel him."
But, does he have a way?
In this situation, aside from seeking aid from the Heavenly Emperor Lingtian, who else could he turn to?
Ye Feng fell into deep thought.
"Die!"
The Blood-Colored Armored Warrior continuously gathered blood-colored long spears, ceaselessly hurling them at Ye Feng, like he would never tire.
But just then, Ye Feng frowned, extending his hand, upon which appeared the Commander Token of the Ancient Heroic Spirit Army, with the purple "Commander" character on it flashing with an enchanting purple glow, as if reviving.
