Chapter 325: Spiritual Communication

In the rumbling collapse of the ruins, brilliant starlight flickered and surged, pouring out from the fissures, moving toward the pure light that eternally perched at the highest point, and flowing deeper into the spirit realm.

In the next instant, the direction of those starlights suddenly changed, surging toward the Black Emperor ship.

No matter which direction Lei Kè Dùn tried to deviate, the final result was that he, in the form of brilliant starlight, rushed toward the Black Emperor ship.

Boom—! Boom—! Boom—!

Silver‑white bolts of lightning fell, bearing a destructive aura so intense it seemed tangible, striking densely around, enveloping several hundred meters of area within a thunder forest.

Na Si Te's gaze suddenly deepened; he opened his left palm upward, and all the lightning aimed at the Black Emperor ship shifted direction, twisting to fall onto the starlight that Lei Kè Dùn had become.

A strong sense of danger surged, and the moment Lei Kè Dùn's figure coalesced from the fragments of starlight, he reached out from the void and tugged at an invisible thing.

Countless lightning bolts then slid over his body, falling toward the depths of the spirit realm.

This indiscriminate area attack was literally the best aid for the Black Emperor Path; Lei Kè Dùn sighed helplessly in his heart.

Immediately, he reached into the void, took out an illusory hat, and placed it on his head.

His figure then vanished, erasing all traces, and he was no longer subject to the twisted lightning attacks.

Above the gray mist, Ke Lai En awkwardly set down the Sea God Staff he held; he had only intended to casually test the power of this mighty wondrous item, not expecting his attack to become Na Si Te's aid.

He picked up again the strange crown, covered in rust and blood, that lay on the mottled long table; with the aid of the gray mist, he employed the extraordinary ability of the Hunter Path High Sequence.

Through the connection of the gray mist, his mind and Lei Kè Dùn's were linked as one, each clearly and plainly perceiving the other's thoughts.

Spiritual communication. Can you transmit power to me directly?

In theory, yes. In practice, my power is still weaker than yours. My most useful ability is the Paper Person stand‑in, but that requires a paper person prepared in advance.

Ke Lai En let out a helpless sigh, yet he still synchronized his vision with Lei Kè Dùn.

In the deep spirit realm, the incessant lightning storm ceased, and Na Si Te remained steadily perched at the bow of the Black Emperor ship.

He twisted and amplified Lei Kè Dùn's intent, turning it into substance.

Just as Lei Kè Dùn's body moved, Ke Lai En, using the Paper Angel created by the Black Emperor (Item), dispelled this effect.

Immediately, he gently rubbed his fingers, conjuring clusters of golden illusory flames.

These flames densely stretched into a sea, sending out rings of golden ripples forward, rapidly sweeping toward the Black Emperor ship.

Give him a shock of a single‑sequence tier!

I also wish to, but my spirit can't manage it; it's an extraordinary trait, not a wondrous item, so using it isn't that smooth or easy.

Then use the War Bishop's ability to consolidate my scattered attacks into a whole, preventing him from easily distorting the target.

No problem, but don't spread too thin; it's a bit hard for me to handle.

As thoughts turned, he aligned with Ke Lai En.

In the next instant, he lifted his form, positioning himself to overlook the Black Emperor ship and Na Si Te, then raised both hands upward as if embracing the sun, welcoming dawn.

In the following moment, the richly layered colors of the spirit realm gave way to dazzling, scorching sunlight, as if entering an indescribably sweltering summer.

The surrounding golden flames, dense as a sea, seemed poured into scorching hot oil, suddenly leaping several degrees higher, burning with a hint of blazing white.

Sensing the thoughts flashing through Lei Kè Dùn's mind, Ke Lai En couldn't help to voice his astonishment inwardly:

"How did you simulate so many battle plans in such a short time?"

"You can't envy the dual‑path talent of Reader and Secret‑Observer."

"I don't envy it. Fine, a little—this state of communication is so convenient, there's no time to think about what to say."

"Lost the joy of ranting!"

"Don't rant while using extraordinary abilities."

"Your voice keeps echoing in my mind, I can't control it."

"I'm just thinking habitually!"

While communicating with Ke Lai En, the surrounding blazing golden flames gradually converged above the Black Emperor ship, successively forming massive pure light spheres entwined with countless sacred flames.

One, two—altogether eight—they were scattered yet seemed a single whole, emitting intense light and heat, sending out rings of scorching ripples outward.

"Hmph!"

Na Si Te snorted coldly, twisting the scorching ripples sweeping the Black Emperor ship into a gentle breeze.

"You, with this level of distracted operation, aren't you worried about splitting your mind?"

"With your support, otherwise I could at most control three light spheres at once. War is inherently the art of gathering, and that conqueror trait greatly helps in this regard."

As thoughts turned, Lei Kè Dùn manipulated the blazing light spheres hovering above the Black Emperor ship, repeatedly hurling them downward.

The dark red glint in Na Si Te's eyes dimmed, and the cascading light spheres showed obvious chaos, but were quickly corrected.

"Iron‑Blooded Knight?"

Na Si Te's brow twitched; he hadn't noticed any trace of someone remotely influencing a wondrous item—how many wondrous items does he carry?

As thoughts shifted, he reached slightly forward, attempting to amplify the negative effects of the wondrous item on Lei Kè Dùn.

His move unsurprisingly failed—was it the Shepherd? the Scholar? Or does he possess a wondrous item that grants immunity to all negative effects?

After a brief pause, he calmly drew the revolver at his waist and fired at the relentlessly descending, yet uncatchable, blazing light spheres.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A rapid five‑shot burst, each bullet's power amplified to the extreme, nearly matching the Purification Cannon of the Golden Dream vessel.

Lei Kè Dùn frowned slightly, trying to disperse the light spheres, but to no avail.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A massive explosion roared in midair, and golden fire waves instantly engulfed the surroundings.

At the same time, a huge sense of danger spread through Lei Kè Dùn's mind.

In his mind flashed an image: an ordinary bullet, unstoppable, struck him, tearing his flesh and blood apart, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

His figure instantly became transparent, turning into a statue formed of countless gathered starlights.

An orange‑yellow bullet pierced the golden fire wave, ignoring distance, passing through the starlight‑formed statue.

The statue shattered instantly, turning into sparkling starlight points that surged and quickly reassembled into Lei Ke Dun's figure.

In this short time, the nine scorching light balls previously created by Lei Ke Dun were all resolved by Na Si Te; even the remaining flames had their existence time shortened by him and were directly annihilated.

So fast.

He used a magical item, magnified its effect, and directly annihilated your light balls. Someone came over, it's.

Ya En·Pao Te Man.

Why did you suddenly start complaining in Chinese? Also, what the hell is Pao Te Man? Why did you give him that nickname?

Because he's always late at critical moments, like now; Kavituwa's traits have already been taken by you, and he only just arrived.

While chatting with Ke Lai En, Lei Ke Dun and Na Si Te tacitly stopped fighting and simultaneously looked toward the 'Sea King' Ya En·Kao Te Man, who arrived amidst the storm.

Ya En·Kao Te Man gazed solemnly at the already tacitly ceased Lei Ke Dun and Na Si Te; he came tracing Kavituwa's traces, intending to reclaim the other's traits, but now.

His gaze sank as he looked at the completely collapsed site, still bearing traces left by extraordinary abilities.

Anger clearly surfaced on him; he directly attributed Lei Ke Dun and Na Si Te's recent clash to their struggle over Kavituwa's remaining traits.

His gaze lingered slightly on Lei Ke Dun, the anger in his eyes almost solidifying. Again, it's him—the Church of Knowledge also has its eyes on Kavituwa's traits? They indeed plot to seize the storm's authority, leveraging the pressure of the Storm Church to drive out the Rose Sect's Saint, all just for today?

Ya En·Kao Te Man's gaze shifted to Na Si Te, the 'King of the Five Seas'; his eyes grew noticeably heavier. This is the Spirit Realm, not the sea; here, he may not be a match for that 'King of the Five Seas'.

If looks could kill, you'd already have been hacked to pieces by this 'Sea King'.

No matter, it's just the Church of Knowledge taking the blame.

You're not worried that the God of Knowledge will zap you with a lightning bolt? After all, lightning is the Storm Lord's authority. No wonder you're a seasoned traitor!

If there were such an authority as 'traitor', you could certainly become the Lord of Traitors!

Alright, the Telepathy ability isn't meant for us to complain at each other. Stay clear!

Ke Lai En's strong thought blasted in Lei Ke Dun's mind; in the next instant, his figure turned transparent, becoming a statue formed of countless gathered starlight.

Invisible wind blades, numerous and dense, instantly swept across the place where Lei Ke Dun stood.

The starlight-formed statue instantly shattered into five pieces; before it could scatter into specks of starlight, Na Si Te simultaneously made a hugging motion.

The statue's shattering, the trend of turning into brilliant starlight stalled; he could not move, and the time he could maintain this state rapidly decreased.

After a moment, Lei Ke Dun's figure reappeared amidst the scattered starlight.

Greeting him was the blinding, dazzling lightning released by Ya En·Kao Te Man.

Above the gray mist, Ke Lai En witnessed this scene and sighed in his heart:

You're really good at drawing hatred; aren't you considering being a provocateur?

He wasn't too worried about Lei Ke Dun's condition; under the Telepathy link, he felt no trace of panic from the other side.

To be precise, he felt no significant emotional fluctuations from the other, just like an emotionless robot.

The side effect of Old Mr. Wise Eye's magical item is to maintain an absolute rational state; is this an ability that one gains after progressing a certain sequence on the reader's path?
