Chapter 357: Chapter 20: Celestial Destiny Sect

"Celestial Destiny Sect..."

Shen Fei looked at the robe on the newcomer, a robe he recognized, having seen it during the encirclement battle in Shencheng City before.

A person from the Celestial Destiny Sect.

This time, it was clear that the ones plotting from the shadows were the Demon Organization, the Celestial Destiny Sect.

"I didn’t plan to make a move on you so soon, but I didn’t expect you to find this place."

The masked man’s gaze was icy cold. He had rushed back using certain means when the battle broke out in Ice Spirit City just now.

Upon seeing the Empress for the first time, he knew who had come, thinking it was another Tier Nine who had discovered the plot in Ice Spirit City.

Yet, it was beyond expectation that Shen Fei discovered this place.

And unexpectedly, Shen Fei truly possessed the strength of a Tier Nine, even though the organization had received varying pieces of information confirming it.

The Tier Nine Celestial Corpse of the Corpse Stiff Abyss was indeed slain by Shen Fei, but within the sect, including the sect leader, still held doubts about this intel.

At most, they thought Shen Fei only possessed methods to counter a Tier Nine, but having the power to withstand them head-on was unlikely.

Perhaps it was accomplished using some tool, after all, Shen Fei had the backing of two Tier Tens.

But after witnessing the battle between the Empress and the Ice Spirit Emperor, he realized the sect’s intel was indeed true beyond doubt.

Shen Fei’s gaze fell on the masked man. The next moment, the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable suddenly erupted, with countless Holy Lights radiating from his hands.

Up in the sky, a gigantic cross was born again, an irresistible suction force erupted from the cross, targeting the masked man.

"Jesus’ Palm, Cross Binding. I didn’t expect your summoned beast has skills that ignore equipment restrictions."

The masked man seemed quite familiar with this Cross Binding, merely letting out a light chuckle.

The next moment the masked man melted like liquid, splitting instantaneously into two masked men.

One of them was directly absorbed by the ’Cross Binding,’ posing in the suffering figure of ’Jesus’ Suffering.’

Yet the remaining masked man sneered, "Since I know this thing of yours, there are defensive means in place for myself already!"

Countless dark shadows erupted around him, a boundless darkness shrouded half of the sky, transforming into a realm of darkness, with oppressive air seeping all around, pressing towards Shen Fei and the others.

Along the path, silver-white fragments from shattered void splashed all around, slicing through everything before being engulfed by darkness.

Shen Fei wasn’t really surprised about ’Cross Binding’ not succeeding.

After all, it was merely a piece of equipment. If it was truly invincible, his original owner, the Pope, wouldn’t have been beaten by Luo Ran.

’Space·Endless Leap!’

Silver light enveloped Shen Fei, and in the next instant, he disappeared from where he had been.

Simultaneously, the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable let out an angry cry.

"Courting death!"

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable was engulfed in demonic flames, upon the void.

With a step.

A punch.

The fist immediately struck towards the oppressive world of darkness.

Its overwhelmingly domineering aura exploded loudly, the punch created a void of several thousand meters colliding with the world of darkness.

"Boom——!"

The sound echoed through thousands of miles of the Ice Abyss, with layers of intertwined black energy waves ravaging around, shattering countless glaciers and the land.

If it were on Blue Star, the land would be entirely corroded, even forming a huge crater, but in the Ice Abyss, it was but a drop in the ocean.

The ensuing waves were sufficient to instantly dissolve creatures that had just reached Tier Eight.

Suddenly,

The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable retreated several thousand miles backward, as the masked man transformed into a black light chased relentlessly, accompanied by mockery.

"Just barely reaching the combat power of Tier Nine, and you think you can confront me head-on?"

"Relying on equipment’s advantage, you truly think it’s your own strength?"

Black and white energy continuously entwined around the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, instantly stabilizing his form.

’Holy Spirit Domain’ and other myriad enhancing skills surged out from Shen Fei, enveloping the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable.

The sound of various musical instruments resonated for an instant, the aura of the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable surged wildly once again, while the masked man’s form, about to approach the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, froze on the spot.

"Summoner, always a trouble!"

The masked man instantly broke free from the bindings, facing head-on with a punch, violently creating a terrifying void.

’Boom!’

The masked man instantly triggered the defensive skills on his body, black energy immediately transformed into an inky black shield.

The shield exploded instantly, with various powers simultaneously crashing into the masked man’s body.

"Incomplete Law? How is it possible...!"

The masked man’s form immediately retreated a thousand meters, far from the attack range of the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable. In the midst of the attack just now, he actually felt a suppression only perceivable through Tier Tens. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

His physical body, his mind, were being ’burned’ by a strange power, and moreover, his spirit was ’extinguished.’

Yet there was no time left for the masked man to be shocked, the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s form suddenly surged, instantly getting in front of the masked man.

Punching again, its force like thunder.

The masked man transformed into a black light immediately distanced himself, trying to dodge this punch from the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable.

But the next moment where he landed,

Countless multicolored poisonous mists exploded, spreading wildly in the sky, misting over ten thousand miles in an instant.

The masked man found no escape.

In an instant, the masked man felt over a hundred layers of negative effects on his body such as ’bleeding,’ ’petrification,’ ’slowness’ etc.

"What on earth is this...?"

After consecutively using ’Black Beast Body,’ ’Shadow Purification,’ and other purification skills to cleanse all the negative effects on himself.

He found nearly twenty layers of negative effects still couldn’t be cleared away.

"True Martial Sword, Slash!"

A heaven-reaching giant sword in the hand of a gigantic figure slashed towards the masked man with a sweeping demonic aura.

The sword’s blade was illusory, but the masked man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura plummeting swiftly, causing him to retreat thousands of meters again.

"Damn it. Black Beast Spirit!"

Dark shadows twisted around the masked man, transforming into a giant beast, immediately nullifying all the negative effects on him.

His previously declining aura surged back up, yet still, his voice couldn’t hide the surprise.

"Your summoned beasts, they all can learn skills without restriction!"

The masked man had only read about Shen Fei from records, even though they had numerous intelligence networks.

Yet they never faced Shen Fei directly, not knowing the true power of Shen Fei’s summoned beasts.

Even before, the masked man had underestimated Shen Fei.

After all, being a veteran Tier Nine, even if Shen Fei’s summoned beasts could withstand a Tier Nine directly.

They still might not defeat him.

Moreover, if one of Shen Fei’s summoned beasts was strong, it meant a large amount of resources was poured into the primary combat summoned beast.

But now it seemed he was wrong.

Every one of Shen Fei’s summoned beasts turned out to be a primary combat summoned beast, and the crucial point was they could each directly learn Ninth-tier skills.

As long as they could sustain the consumption, essentially these summoned beasts were no different from a Tier Nine.

This crossing-boundary learning of skills was exceedingly rare to the masked man, and they usually only crossed one tier.

How could one directly cross three tiers in learning?

And how did Shen Fei’s summoned beast manage to sustain their ability to use Ninth-tier skills?!
