At that very moment, Yin Yan of the Silver Spirit Clan was among those who sensed the fleeting yet powerful spatial fluctuation.
As a user of spatial talent, Yin Yan's sensitivity to spatial fluctuations far surpasses that of ordinary people. Just as Chen Yi clasped his hands together, Yin Yan suddenly turned his head.
He stared intently at the space between Kudu's palms. There, a fleeting silver force of spatial compression could be felt.
"This is----"
Without any hesitation, Yin Yan immediately released his powerful divine sense and probed in Chen Yi's direction.
The moment his divine sense touched that area, Yin Yan's expression gradually became serious.
"What terrifying spatial control."
He calculated in his mind and judged the strength of that spatial compression technique.
"It actually reached the level of a near-fifth-tier spatial compression defense."
"To compress a space of ten feet into a width of one finger, how abnormally powerful must one's spiritual control be?"
"Even for me, a Silver Spirit who was born with spatial talent, it would take most of my mana to achieve this, and I would also need to use a portion of my fifth-order primordial power to assist me."
"He actually did that in the blink of an eye, using only his mid-Nascent Soul cultivation?"
"Although the defensive range is extremely small, only about the size of a finger."
"But—this level of ability to manipulate the laws of space is almost at the level of a god-level being."
Yin Yan was well aware of the terrifying power of spatial abilities.
In battles between high-level cultivators, this single, finger-sized absolute defensive position can often determine the outcome of the battle and even life or death.
Yin Yan stared intently at the figure in front of him with his hands clasped together.
The person in front of me is definitely not the same as the ascetic monk from before.
Absolutely not.
The scene of the confrontation five days ago flashed quickly through Yin Yan's mind.
Chen Yi was beaten so badly that he was completely powerless to fight back. He was covered in blood and could only desperately hide in the gaps in the space.
If the real Kudu were here, given Kudu's ruthless nature and decisive methods, he would have already traversed space and crushed that brat Chen Yi to death.
Judging from this, the little monk in front of us must be Chen Yi in disguise.
Not only did this kid escape unscathed, but he even dared to disguise himself as a madman and swagger out.
But that's even more terrifying.
Yin Yan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, his heart churning with turmoil.
How long has it been?
It takes no more than five days at most.
Chen Yi was already able to use this level of spatial compression technique.
Such talent and such a rapid growth rate are simply astounding.
Yin Yan quickly calculated in his mind, "Isn't this almost as good as my clone?"
Space compression isn't some common spell; it's a high-level divine ability involving the laws of space. How did this kid comprehend it in such a short time?
What secrets does he have that I don't know about?
On the other side of the battlefield, there was another person with an even clearer understanding of the battle situation.
That was the owner of the arrow that shattered the spell, the Holy Maiden of Cangnan from the Wilderness Realm.
Hundreds of feet away, Cang Nan stood in the wind, holding an ancient longbow.
She was extremely confident in her shot.
Ancient runes flowed along the arrowhead, making it capable of breaking all spells.
Any magical power or supernatural ability would crumble before this arrow. In the past, countless renowned masters in the desolate realm had fallen to this arrow.
Even those ancient body-refining cultivators, with their strong bodies honed through countless trials, would absolutely not be able to withstand the erosion of the true meaning of breaking the law.
However, at the crucial moment, the situation changed.
Cang Nan felt his divine consciousness, which was attached to the arrow, suddenly sink into the endless void.
It was locked up tightly.
Unable to move.
She tried to urge the arrow forward, but no matter how much the true meaning of breaking the law within it erupted, no fluctuations of the five elements were generated in the void where the arrowhead was located.
Without the fluctuations of the Five Elements, the true meaning of breaking the law cannot find a target to destroy and is therefore useless. It has sharp claws but nowhere to use them.
Cangnan's pupils contracted slightly.
A chill ran through me.
What happened?
She stared at the young monk in the distance with his hands clasped together, her mind racing.
"I never expected that this bald monk, whose character isn't exactly stellar, would be so skilled in spatial manipulation. No wonder."
No wonder you were able to catch my arrow.
Cang Nan snorted coldly.
"But so what? Arrow piercing the sky, turn!"
Do you really think you can block the power of my Holy Clan with just spatial compression? That's wishful thinking.
Cang Nan's heart stirred.
A terrifying divine sense instantly swept through the trapped Arrow of Destruction.
The originally violent power of the Breaking Law True Meaning instantly began to fluctuate violently.
Its properties change in a very short time.
It gradually transformed into a spatial fluctuation ability that allows one to traverse the void.
Break the law, break through the void.
These were the two destructive abilities she had mastered most deeply. She could switch between them at will, as if they were second nature.
Once she successfully activates her supernatural power to transform the arrow, the magic-breaking arrow that Kudu held in his palm will instantly transform into a sky-piercing arrow.
At that time, the arrow will pass directly through the spatial compression force in his palm.
Ignoring any physical and spatial obstacles.
It appeared instantly at the other person's chest.
Cang Nan was calculating in his mind. Even if he lost his ability to break the spell and couldn't kill the monk in one blow, the power of the Arrow of the Sky would still be enough to seriously injure him.
This serves as a warning to the other party.
Let him know that the people of the Wilderness Realm are not so easy to mess with.
Wait until he gets injured before negotiating with him.
However, a truly unexpected situation occurred in Cangnan.
Just as the thought arose in her mind, the magic-breaking arrow in front of her transformed instantly.
A sudden change occurred.
A powerful force of lightning suddenly formed in the void.
That was a purple Soul Thunder Whip.
This lightning whip ignored the distance in space and directly passed through the narrow space, compressing the void layer.
Without the slightest pause.
It instantly broke through the arrow itself of the spell-breaking arrow.
It appeared with unparalleled precision inside the core of the arrow.
That place is where Cangnan's soul connects with the arrow.
Snapped!
A crisp sound.
The purple lightning flashed and disappeared in an instant.
Cang Nan felt a sharp pain in his mind.
Her divine sense, connected to the arrow of destruction ahead, instantly plunged into darkness.
It was forcibly cut off.
That arrow that shattered the spell had completely lost its connection with her.
Cang Nan's heart skipped a beat.
His face turned deathly pale instantly.
What kind of lightning technique is that? It can actually attack the soul directly through a magical artifact?
In that instant, a thought suddenly popped into her mind.
That was a legend passed down through generations in the tribe since ancient times.
"Our Holy Clan is naturally close to the Dao, possessing absolute power to suppress the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth. Upon reaching a high level, we even have the ability to traverse and destroy space and time."
This is the pride of their people, and the foundation upon which they stand.
"But it has a fatal weakness only in terms of soul defense."
Anyone struck by a spell targeting the soul is often severely injured. This is their race's greatest weakness.
The admonitions of my elders echoed in my ears.
"If one day I encounter the legendary inheritor of the Soul Thunder lineage, I must be careful."
"If any of the Holy Maidens in my tribe can awaken the power to break through laws, break through space, and break through time, it means that she has a unique talent for the way of the soul."
"If you encounter a successor of the Soul Thunder lineage, try to befriend them. Learn the Soul Thunder lineage's talents, or try to incorporate the Soul Thunder lineage's talent memories into the bloodline of our Holy Clan to make up for our clan's shortcomings."
In the distance, the arrow that shattered the spell was struck by the purple lightning soul thunder, annihilating her divine sense connection in an instant.
The ancient agreement that the clan chief had specifically instructed him to make flashed through Cang Nan's mind.
The Soul Thunder lineage.
It actually exists.
Cangnan stood still, his chest heaving.
She is the most outstanding genius in their tribe in tens of thousands of years.
At only the mid-stage of the fourth rank, he had already awakened two top-tier divine abilities: Breaking the Five Elements and Breaking Space.
This is unprecedented in the history of the tribe.
The clan's elder once made a prophecy.
If she can advance to the top level of the fifth rank, or even break through to the sixth rank, she will most likely awaken the ability to touch the Dao of Time.
Once she masters the power to break through time, she will complete the final piece of the Holy Race's puzzle.
From that time on, she will surely be a chosen one in the upper realm of the spirit world, a true outstanding individual.
Under her leadership, their tribe might break through that ancient, bitterly cold land in one fell swoop, and the entire tribe could ascend to the spirit realm.
This is the heavy responsibility she shoulders, and also the expectation of the entire clan.
The tribe had been lying dormant in the harsh, cold land for far too long.
Resource scarcity.
Surrounded by formidable enemies.
If we cannot quickly promote the spirit realm to a higher level, we will eventually be swallowed up by other forces.
She must become stronger.
And right now, she hasn't even reached the Spirit Realm yet, but she's already encountered the legendary ability user that the elders of the department mentioned.
The one who can restrain their race and at the same time make up for their race's shortcomings.
At this moment, Cang Nan's long-calm heart was stirred.
She looked up.
He stared intently at the young monk in the distance.
The other person still kept their hands clasped together.
His expression was calm, as if the earth-shattering exchange just now was nothing more than a casual act.
Cang Nan looked at him.
The ancient longbow, a sacred artifact of the tribe, was lowered from his hand.
She stopped attacking.
From a distance of several hundred feet, Cang Nan nodded slightly to the young monk.
This is a gesture of approval.
It is an affirmation of the opponent's strength.
It is also a sign of respect for the identity of the inheritors of the Soul Thunder lineage.
As for the young monk, he used his spatial supernatural abilities and purple lightning soul thunder abilities to provide comprehensive defense against her magic-breaking arrow, and even to restrain it.
No one in Cangnan told anyone about this.
She kept this secret to herself.
We'll observe for a while first.
We need to find an opportunity to probe this monk's background.
If we can truly incorporate the Soul Thunder lineage's talent into our bloodline, it will be worth the price.
Take it easy.
Meanwhile, at the center of the Five Elements Spiritual Light Basin, it was only a hundred feet away from the spatial black hole that was constantly distorting and devouring all light.
The five-colored spiritual light here transformed into a viscous, ever-flowing stream of five-element energy. Every step was like a mortal wading through a deep mud pool, not only having to contend with the immense spiritual pressure of the five elements, but also expending a vast amount of magical power to resist the all-pervasive energy erosion.
A woman dressed in an elaborately patterned long robe, surrounded by a constantly flickering protective aura, was making a difficult but determined journey through the flow of five-colored light.
With each step she takes, the protective spiritual light around her body violently rubs against and annihilates a thick layer of the domineering Five Elements power, only to be instantly replenished by the pure Daoist laws surging from her body. This process repeats itself, and the sheer amount of spiritual energy she consumes is enough to make ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators hesitate.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and turned around abruptly.
Two mysterious and ancient rune phantoms flashed in his eyes, and his high-level spiritual eye supernatural power was quietly activated.
The gaze seemed to pierce through the barriers of time and space and the countless layers of flowing five-colored spiritual light in an instant, accurately crossing thousands of feet, and firmly locking onto the young bald monk with his hands clasped together and his palms glowing with golden light in the outer area of the basin.
Under Hu Mingyue's discerning eyes, which could see through illusions and reach the source, Chen Yi's crude methods of disguising himself as the "Bitter Salvation" monk were as fragile as a thin sheet of paper covering a window, crumbling at the slightest touch and rendered utterly useless.
What she saw was neither the simulated robes of a Vajra Temple monk nor the deliberately emanating aura of a Vajra.
For someone like Hu Mingyue, who has already touched upon high-level laws and understands the trajectory of the universe, judging people is never based on their outward supernatural abilities.
What they examine is the essence of a cultivator's soul, the unique essential imprint that the laws of heaven and earth have left on the depths of their soul during their long years of cultivation.
This mark determines the interaction pattern between a cultivator and the surrounding laws and environment, and also indicates the extent of influence he can exert on this world.
If Chen Yi had merely displayed the extremely pure and powerful divine abilities of the Vajra Temple, no matter how formidable his "Indestructible Vajra Imprisoning Heaven Palm" was, Hu Mingyue would have only regarded him as a reclusive figure from the Vajra Temple who had simply obtained an extraordinary ancient inheritance.
However, in that split second of the exchange, her spiritual eyes clearly captured too many imprints of laws that were incompatible with the "Kongoji lineage" and even subtly conflicted with it.
The spatial laws fluctuated in a way that was extremely subtle, fleeting yet exceptionally exquisite.
The unique and mysterious structure of the golden crystal that briefly appears between the tendons and bones of the palms and fingers.
There is also an energy array hidden even deeper, composed of a more refined and concentrated essence of thunder spirit.
Even the purple lightning aura hidden deep within her soul's origin, which made her feel a strange unease, was clearly the "Purple Lightning Soul Lightning" characteristic that only the "Soul Lightning lineage" could possess!
So many different attributes, complex origins, and even contradictory imprints of laws, all gathered in one person at the same time, and happened to appear in this secret realm. Hu Mingyue's mind raced like lightning, and a name almost involuntarily surfaced in the depths of her consciousness.
Who else could it be but Chen Yi?
Just now, under her watchful gaze, Chen Yi made a move that made her take notice and even slightly startled.
He dared to bare his hands to confront and grab that terrifying arrow that contained the true meaning of "breaking the law"!
Immediately afterwards, a spatial law fluctuation, clearer and more refined than the one he had previously detected, quietly emanated from He Qian's palm.
It's a spatial compression technique!
He actually managed to contain and control the "Spell-Breaking Arrow," which was powerful enough to pierce through the protective spiritual light of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, within the vast void of his palm!
Hu Mingyue sensed something and pushed the power of her "Mysterious Eye" to its absolute limit, carefully perceiving and analyzing every trace of the laws contained in Chen Yi's "Space Compression" power.
Its charm was so refined that it was beyond the grasp of a novice; it was so concentrated that it was almost irrational, revealing a powerful, almost instinctive, control over the spatial structure.
"His spatial control ability—has improved so quickly?" Hu Mingyue's heart was filled with uncontrollable turmoil.
"How long has it been? He's already mastered and can use spatial abilities at this level?"
Subconsciously, she shifted her gaze from Chen Yi to the terrifying core—a space black hole that distorts everything—about a hundred feet away, radiating an aura of destruction and chaos.
The spatial fluctuations emanating from the edge of the black hole were chaotic and violent, filled with a destructive intent that could tear everything apart.
However, deep within this destructive fluctuation, Hu Mingyue, with her keen perception and the mysteries of her spiritual eye, faintly detected a law fluctuation that was even higher in level and closer to distorting space than the "space compression" that Chen Yi had just used.
A thoughtful and profound look gradually appeared in Hu Mingyue's beautiful eyes, and a bold idea quietly took root.
"Perhaps—he might be able to venture into and try to uncover the core secrets of this troublesome Five Elements Basin?"
