Chapter 83

The next morning.

The Ancient Clan arranged personnel.

In an orderly manner, they sent all the guests who had come to attend the grand gathering out of the Ancient Realm.

Following the send-off procession, Yun Yi arrived at the Ancient Holy City at a leisurely pace.

Afterwards, he found a corner where no one was paying attention, his figure flickered slightly, and he instantly reverted to his original appearance.

He could more or less leave now.

With a calm expression, Yun Yi stored those few Soul Clan puppets into his storage ring and walked toward the city gate.

"You really know how to keep me waiting."

However, just as he left the city, a figure steadily blocked Yun Yi's path.

Yun Yi's expression did not change.

In truth, he had sensed the other party's aura long ago.

The arrival was Lei Dong; he stood tall and straight, his shoulders broad and thick, his eyes revealing a hint of obsession.

"I knew you hadn't left yet!"

In order to wait for Yun Yi, Lei Dong had already guarded this place for several months, anticipating a battle with Yun Yi every day.

The corner of Yun Yi's mouth curved slightly upward, revealing a faint smile. "Since I promised you, I naturally won't go back on my word."

His voice was calm. "Let's go, find a quiet place to fight."

Without a word of nonsense, Yun Yi finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he transformed into a streak of light flying toward the distance.

Seeing this, a trace of excitement flashed through Lei Dong's eyes, and he immediately followed without hesitation.

His figure left a faint trail of lightning in the sky.

The two flew swiftly all the way; a moment later, they arrived at a desolate, uninhabited place thousands of li away.

Continuous, undulating mountain ranges surrounded the area; a faint mist permeated the valleys, and it was very quiet.

Both sides landed steadily in the valley, slowly distancing themselves into a stance.

Lei Dong stared fixedly at Yun Yi, the corner of his mouth pulling into an excited arc.

He clenched his palm fiercely, accompanied by a sizzling sound; black lightning raced along his arm like a spirit snake, rapidly gathering in his palm to condense a black long spear.

Lightning arcs jumped across the spear shaft, emitting an extremely powerful, terrifying pressure.

At the same time, Lei Dong's own aura also erupted violently at this moment!

Three-Star Dou Sheng initial stage!

"So this is the Black Demon Thunder?"

Yun Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, a blazing light flashing through his eyes.

Those black lightning arcs jumping around Lei Dong — Yun Yi had wanted them for a long time.

The Black Demon Thunder; its power is sufficient to rival the top ten, even the top five Heavenly Flames.

It is said that only when refining a Ninth Grade Profound Pill would the Black Demon Thunder descend from the heavens!

At this moment, Yun Yi no longer concealed his aura either.

In an instant, an invisible air wave expanded instantly with Yun Yi as the center!

A terrifyingly powerful pressure descended with a boom!

"Five-Star Dou Sheng?"

Lei Dong stared with widened eyes in shock; his originally unstoppable aura instantly dissipated without a trace.

He clicked his tongue inwardly; if Yun Yi were merely a Four-Star Dou Sheng, he would still have the courage to fight all-out, but facing a Five-Star Dou Sheng, he didn't have a shred of confidence.

Even though his Dou Qi had mutated into Black Demon Thunder, it was absolutely impossible to cross a two-star gap to battle.

"Looks like, no wonder Xun Er would say that; a person like this... I really have no chance."

A trace of bitterness rose in Lei Dong's heart.

"Rest assured, I will suppress my cultivation base to the same level as yours!"

Yun Yi did not want to bully others with his cultivation base.

A flash of light in his hand, killing intent erupted, and the blood-red Blood Sha Spear condensed into existence.

The rich killing intent emitted from the spear shaft caused a bloody red glow to light up around Yun Yi.

Seeing that Yun Yi actually suppressed his cultivation base, a trace of respect appeared in Lei Dong's eyes.

"Since that's the case, let's have a good fight then!"

Lei Dong made the first move.

He shouted loudly, the Black Demon Thunder long spear in his hand stabbing fiercely toward Yun Yi.

"Tsk!!"

Lei Dong's speed was extremely fast; almost in the blink of an eye, he had already reached Yun Yi.

Spear shadows danced; wherever the long spear passed, the air was instantly torn apart, leaving a black trace.

The black lightning arcs at the spear tip were extremely terrifying; even if Yun Yi were poked, he would probably be directly pierced with a bloody hole!

Lei Dong's opening move was extreme pressure!

Yun Yi's eyes sharpened; he held the Blood Sha Spear horizontally, and boundless killing intent instantly exploded from within the Blood Sha Spear.

The killing intent condensed on the spear body, and then the Wind-Thunder Dou Qi on Yun Yi's body also erupted.

"Thunder Shine Wind Kill Flash!"

In an instant, Yun Yi's speed also increased sharply!

The spear thrust out like a dragon!

"Clang clang clang clang dang!!!"

Countless sounds of clashing metal erupted.

Every time the two spears collided, a powerful impact force exploded.

The ground beneath the two instantly cracked, cracks spreading outward like a spider web.

Under such high-intensity clashes, Yun Yi actually saw a flaw exposed on Lei Dong's back as he fought with wide, sweeping movements.

Yun Yi's figure flashed, directly circling behind Lei Dong; the Blood Sha Spear, carrying fierce sha qi, stabbed toward Lei Dong's back.

However, Lei Dong reacted extremely fast; his body lunged forward violently, then he flipped over, the Black Demon Thunder long spear in his hand sweeping horizontally toward Yun Yi like a flood dragon leaving the sea.

Yun Yi lightly tapped the ground with his toes, his body drifting up like a light boat, easily dodging this strike.

He turned in mid-air, the Blood Sha Spear stabbing out again, its target pointing straight at Lei Dong's throat.

Lei Dong's expression tightened, and he hurriedly used his long spear to block.

Another loud boom rang out, and the two separated once more.

"Demon Thunder Meteorite!!"

Lei Dong's expression was taut, his spirit obviously highly concentrated.

Immediately after, he lightly bit his tongue tip, directly forcing out a streak of essence blood that shot onto the spear tip.

This streak of Lei Dong's essence blood actually contained black lightning arcs!

Instantly, the spear tip became extremely dark and deep.

The next second, Lei Dong shook the spear tip, and speed reached its peak under the empowerment of thunder.

One spear pointed at Yun Yi's throat!

"Chi!!!"

A light sound.

A trace of helplessness surfaced on Lei Dong's face.

"I knew it, this spear wouldn't achieve any effect."

At this moment, Lei Dong's long spear was stabbed onto Yun Yi's open palm.

However, this spear tip carrying Black Demon Thunder was actually half an inch away from Yun Yi's palm.

Yet this half-inch distance was like a natural moat.

No matter how Lei Dong urged the Black Demon Thunder, he could not make it approach a single thread closer.

And the reason Lei Dong was not surprised was because right now, the surface of Yun Yi's palm was covered in rich, scarlet sha qi!

That sha qi, seemingly from purgatory, blocked Lei Dong's Black Demon Thunder!

Yun Yi smiled faintly, "Since you came, it would be impolite not to return the favor."

Then his figure flashed, disappearing before Lei Dong.

Lei Dong's body stiffened in this instant.

He sensed that terrifying sha qi rapidly approaching from behind him.

There was no choice; he could only forcibly twist his body, condensing Black Demon Thunder in his palm.

Obviously wanting to learn Yun Yi's move from just now on the spot to cope.

However, the Blood Sha Spear, carrying majestic sha qi, had already closed in on his throat the moment Lei Dong just turned around!

Lei Dong simply didn't have time to turn and steady himself!

But just as the Blood Sha Spear was about to pierce Lei Dong, Yun Yi suddenly stopped the movement in his hand.

Rich scarlet Blood Sha qi churned at the tip of the Blood Sha Spear, yet did not harm Lei Dong.

"I concede."

Yun Yi tilted his head slightly, smiling faintly.

Lei Dong looked at the Blood Sha Spear right before his eyes.

He knew, he had lost.

If the spear tip advanced another half inch, he would already be dead.

"Thank you for the lesson today, Brother Yun; if there is a chance in the future, please guide me again!"

Lei Dong said with a face full of sincerity; although he lost, he lost heartily convinced.

The current Yun Yi, whether in strength or battle experience, was above him.

Yun Yi put away the Blood Sha Spear, smiling faintly.

"Brother Lei is too polite; your strength is also very strong, looking forward to fighting you again next time."

Facing Lei Dong's straightforwardness, Yun Yi did not dislike it.

Lei Dong gave Yun Yi a deep look, transforming into a streak of thunder and leaving.

"Next time, I will let you see my progress!"

Listening to Lei Dong's words, Yun Yi smiled faintly, casually tearing open a Space Crack and heading toward the Northwest Continent.

……

In the southeast of Zhongzhou, Ling Xu Shan towered majestically.

Clouds and mist curled among the mountains, like a fairyland.

This place is the entry point to the Spirit Realm space.

However, during this period, the Spirit Realm space suddenly closed entirely, with no news transmitted out.

This situation left some major powers around bewildered.

Normally, although the Spirit Realm and the outside world do not interact much, closing the space so abruptly without any omen is truly rare.

However, the ancient races have always acted mysteriously, so they did not dare to speculate too much.

"Hm? Why has the Spirit Clan space closed?"

That day, a figure emerged from the spatial ripples, arriving outside Ling Xu Shan.

The person was Gu Yuan, wearing an antique long robe, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, his eyes deep and sharp.

Gu Yuan closed his eyes slightly, releasing vast Soul Power that spread outward in all directions.

However, as his Soul Power probed, Gu Yuan's brow furrowed tighter and tighter.

He sensed a familiar aura.

"Void Swallowing Flame!"
