Chapter 297: 272. Ride me? Don't even think about it!
In the pitch-dark world where no light could penetrate, Xia Feng closed his eyes and quietly sensed the surrounding environment.
Dispelling the initial disorientation and dizzy sense of direction, he soon sensed a light source in his spiritual world.
It had to be said that Shiva's domain was indeed very powerful.
Once activated, it indiscriminately restrained everyone in the vicinity, friend and foe alike.
But fortunately, his Spiritual Artifact Position was exceptionally high, so even though his sense of direction was overturned and he lost all senses that could serve as 'vision,' the Melding allowed him to still sense the ascent A Spiritual Artifact Position, unchanging and fixed in place.
With focused sensing, that position became increasingly clear.
However, Xia Feng did not immediately move towards it. The spatial rifts scattered throughout the domain were not to be underestimated; acting recklessly could lead to a death without a burial place.
He could have bulldozed his way through with the Miyamoto Tengu, but unfortunately, the Miyamoto Tengu required a terrifying amount of Spiritual Particles to operate, so unless necessary, he should not waste his limited supply frivolously.
After all, since he had already fought his way here, knowing that the ascent A Spiritual Artifact was Pang Xize's, it wouldn't suffice to just grab the Spiritual Artifact and get away.
He had to find a way to kill Pang Xize!
Two Third Rank fighting against a True Martial Realm powerhouse and ninety Season Envoys ranging from the second to fourth rank was a bit difficult.
Especially in terms of spiritual quantity, they were at a severe disadvantage.
It was well known that True Martial Realm powerhouses could withstand attacks from A-grade Spiritual Clothes, and although they couldn't sustain too long, they could last at least a dozen seconds.
Xia Feng had duplicated many auxiliary Spiritual Artifacts using the Mind Domain that greatly increased his spiritual quantity, but it was still nowhere near enough to maintain the consumption of the A-grade Spiritual Clothes for long.
[After completing the combination of the Fourth-order Wood Element Promotion Liquid, Mu Qingtong quickly ingested the Promotion Liquid, and your Spiritual Pressure began to climb!]
Indeed, Miss Mu also understood that their current weak point was their spiritual quantity. Only by ascending in rank and significantly increasing their spiritual quantity could they use A-grade Spiritual Clothes more freely.
[Utilizing the Fourth-order Wood Element Promotion Liquid to reorganize the Spiritual Particle structure, your spiritual density has been further compressed and refined, and your Spiritual Pressure continues to rise——]
In just a few seconds, Xia Feng felt his body's structure being transformed, his strength swelling, and his Spiritual Pressure structure being further sculpted and optimized.
[Your Spiritual Pressure has been greatly increased!]
[Your Spiritual Pressure has been greatly increased!]
[Your....]
Although Xia Feng could not see anything, he could feel the Spiritual Pressure enveloping his body becoming more condensed and heavy.
Transitioning from the second to third rank was one thing, but ascending from third to the Fourth Rank was a significant and visible qualitative improvement, moving from an ordinary Spirit Master to a superhuman realm.
He could sense that his power value, agility, neurological reaction, spiritual power, and more were all undergoing an all-around tremendous sublimation!
[Mu Qingtong has built a perfect Fourth-order Spiritual Particle structure, compressing the Spiritual Particles to the limit. Your Spiritual Pressure State has successfully leaped from Third Rank to Fourth Rank, and your spiritual quantity has therefore been greatly expanded!]
His physical qualities were enhanced across the board, as a warm current swiftly filled his limbs and torso, cleansing his soul.
Having just gone through two battles, he had expended a great deal of Spiritual Particles, but now, due to the ascension's sublime effect, without waiting for a long recovery period, his Spiritual Particles were replenished in seconds, once again swelling and filling his spirit!
[You have successfully ascended to a Fourth-order Spirit Master, Copy Position +1]
[Current Copy Positions: 5 (4+1)]
[Power: 1399
(General Fifth: 2K~4K, True Martial: 4K~5K)]
[Agility: 1087 (same as above)]
As Xia Feng was currently under the enhancement period of the Vermilion Bird Demon Armor, his physical qualities were tripled, with power value tripling directly entering the True Martial Stage! Agility also reached the mid-level standards of General Fifth.
Regarding the spiritual quantity, due to Mu Qingtong having consumed a large number of Spirit Storage Fruits to expand her soul space, her soul space was twice as large as that of a normal Fourth-order Spirit Master, and naturally, her spiritual quantity was also twice that of a normal Fourth-order Spirit Master.
Very vast.
The promotion from the beginning to the end took only over twenty seconds.
Xia Feng didn't hesitate and directly activated Miyamoto Tengu!
Originally, at Third Rank with his spiritual quantity, even in full spiritual state, he could only maintain Miyamoto Tengu for a maximum of 3 seconds.
But now, at Fourth Rank, coupled with the various spiritual quantity-boosting spiritual artifacts provided by "Mind Domain," he could maintain Miyamoto Tengu for about 30 seconds!
The 20-meter giant form suddenly unfolded, and with the melding sense, Xia Feng charged directly in one direction!
Based on his observation just now, he had already acutely noticed.
Pang Xize was undergoing active Miss Evil transformation. He didn't know the reason, but whatever the enemy wanted to do, he just had to stop it!
Charge!
The giant trampled the earth, bracing against the dense black spatial rifts with its body, emitting a sharp buzzing and crackling noise.
However, everyone within the domain had their sense perception sealed and did not detect the slightest movement.
Only Pang Xize, as the master of the domain, sensed something unusual. His face slightly darkened as he tilted his head; he perceived someone moving.
Although this person was moving very slowly due to the obstruction of the spatial rifts, he was indeed moving toward the center of the domain!
It had to be said, such a suicidal fly was really annoying.
But no matter, he was about to complete the perfect Miss Evil transformation!
With his further activation, the progress of the transformation accelerated. In just ten more seconds, it would be a success!
"My dear Miss Evil, your master is about to succeed!" exuberant excitement bubbled in Pang Xize's eyes as he gazed ardently ahead, his breathing increasingly rapid.
Miss Evil held her head high with pride, closing her eyes without heeding Pang Xize. She was well aware of this master's intentions, wanting to mount her body, to control and conquer her.
But as a noble transforming Spiritual Artifact, how could she be oppressed by such foolish humans!
This Pang Xize was her master. She would naturally obey him, protect his life, acknowledge his superior status as master, and never betray him.
But to think of mounting her back? He shouldn't even dream of it!
Nobody was worthy to mount her!
Thus, she planned to flee immediately after her master completed the transformation since the Artifact Disaster gave her a high level of autonomy.
Even though Pang Xize was her revered sovereign whom she served loyally, he could not do anything to her.
"Crackle—"
The space continued to crackle for a dozen seconds. Xia Feng gritted his teeth and kept moving forward, but the spatial rifts were too damned outrageous; Miyamoto Tengu was almost torn to shreds in a few instances.
Teetering on the brink.
Even with True Martial Early Stage-level defense, it shattered loudly after the 15th second.
However, at the same time, Pang Xize also lifted Shiva's Heavenly Form domain. After all, even with True Martial Level's vast spiritual quantity, he couldn't withstand the significant spiritual quantity consumption of Shiva's Heavenly Form.
The giant form faded away, and everyone's perception instantly returned.
And to everyone's surprise, Person K somehow had already passed through the rows of Season Envoys and arrived at the center of the volcano crater, less than 50 meters away from Pang Xize.
Person Q, however, was still standing in the same place, with arms behind his back.
