The spiritual body had now grown to over ten ters tall, like a radiant energy source, constantly radiating intense ntal fluctuations in all directions.
He began testing his ntal strength.
With a thought, he summoned his ntal energy to lift a large number of domain creatures around him, suspending them in the air.
But soon, domain experts broke free from his ntal restraint and turned to glare at his spiritual body.
The spiritual body looked up at the descending giant hand.
A surging torrent of ntal energy erupted from its form, causing the space around it to hum and vibrate. This coalesced into an invisible ntal shockwave that hurtled skyward.
Boom!
The massive hand's descent visibly slowed.
At that mont, countless ntal energy tendrils shot up, bracing against the giant hand and beginning to wrestle with it.
But the hand's power was too imnse; he couldn't halt its descent.
Through close-range ntal perception, he saw cracks appearing near the hand—the kind that only appeared when space was torn apart. However, these fissures healed too quickly to be noticeable from below.
Clearly, the giant hand's presence was putting imnse pressure on this realm.
To withstand this pressure, he continued to unleash his ntal energy, absorbing the residual ntal energy from the domain creatures of the death domain.
His spiritual body gradually grew to twelve ters tall.
At this point, the spiritual body had beco extrely unstable, yet he couldn't control the continued growth of his ntal energy.
Realizing this, Feng Qi abandoned his struggle against the giant hand.
His spiritual body instantly surged to the front of his physical brain. ntal energy tendrils then coiled around Liu Yue, Qin Shikong, and the Lord of the Mist.
He charged toward the black veil with them.
His sole thought was to break through the black veil's Domain Field blockade and escape with Liu Yue and the others.
Watching Feng Qi's departure, the Domain Forces clearly understood his intentions and followed suit.
When he reached the black veil barrier, he didn't hesitate. His ntal energy tendrils slamd against the veil like madn, trying to shatter it.
The domain experts arriving from behind also joined the assault on the black veil.
But Feng Qi soon stopped.
With no one blocking it, the giant hand resud its descent at an accelerated pace.
If he didn't stop the hand's descent, they might be crushed beneath it before breaking through the black veil.
With this thought, Feng Qi lowered Liu Yue and the others with his ntal energy tendrils and turned his gaze toward the sky.
He decided to confront the descending giant hand, buying the domain experts ti to break through the black veil.
Seeing him prepare to fly upward, the Lord of the Mist suddenly spoke:
"Wait, let lend you a hand!"
The Lord of the Mist opened his mouth and began spewing qi blood.
All the Qi and Blood Power he had previously absorbed erupted from him, coalescing into a massive, crimson battle axe.
Gray mist swirled around the axe's handle, giving it a formidable and imposing appearance.
Without hesitation, he used his spiritual body to grasp the crimson axe.
At that mont, three energy gems flew toward him.
"Don't resist this power. Let it rge with you. It will greatly enhance your spiritual body's strength and prevent it from collapsing easily."
Feng Qi, who had been about to swat the gems away, imdiately stopped.
As the three gems embedded themselves in the back of his spiritual body, he felt a surging wave of spiritual energy radiating from them. The energy automatically traced patterns around him.
His previously unstable spiritual body gradually stabilized.
He turned to see where the gems had co from and discovered that the Spirit Energy Clan mbers were the ones who had thrown them.
Imdiately after, various Domain Powerhouses joined in.
Their amplification abilities cascaded onto him.
Monts later, his spiritual body had completely transford.
In his right hand, he wielded a battle axe forged from pure qi blood. Three gems on his back stabilized his spiritual body, while a necklace of beast fangs adorned his neck. On his left middle finger, a black ring amplified his ntal strength.
Beyond his equipnt, a series of art magic enhancents enveloped him.
A multicolored aura now surrounded him, as if a deity had descended, radiating surging energy in all directions.
Looking skyward again, he soared upward.
The crimson battle axe crashed against the descending giant hand, montarily halting its descent.
The ring on his left hand blazed with brilliant light, extending countless tendrils of ntal energy that whipped furiously at the giant hand.
The aura surrounding him continuously surged with enhancents as he attacked.
Under his relentless assault, the giant hand's descent slowed further.
anwhile, below, the Domain Powerhouses desperately slamd against the black veil, trying to shatter it.
But the veil proved stubbornly resilient, withstanding every attack without a scratch.
Just as despair threatened to engulf them, a mber of the Spirit Energy Clan stepped forward once more.
First, he signaled everyone to stop attacking and then produced a circular ring, pressing it against the black veil.
After a brief pause, countless intricate patterns erged on the veil's surface.
These patterns intertwined, revealing streaks of energy coursing through the lines.
"Attack the glowing energy lines—these are the formation's energy conduits. Destroying these nodes will drastically weaken the formation's power."
Hearing this, the domain creatures imdiately focused their attacks on the formation's energy conduits.
This ti, their assault proved effective.
Following the Spirit Energy Clan mber's instructions, they concentrated their attacks along the energy flow paths, focusing their destructive efforts.
Under their relentless assault, concentric rings of energy ripples rippled across the black veil.
Seeing their attacks working, the Domain Forces finally glimpsed a chance for survival. Their morale surged, and their assaults grew even more ferocious.
After a long while, with a crisp cracking sound, a tear appeared in the black veil.
Feng Qi, who had been closely monitoring the situation below, abandoned his struggle against the giant hand. In an instant, he descended, swept up the Lord of the Mist, Liu Yue, and Qin Shikong, and flew out through the tear.
With the veil no longer blocking it, the giant hand resud its descent.
The domain creatures, caught off guard, were sent reeling by the heavy blow, spitting blood on the spot.
Feng Qi couldn't be bothered with their fate. His spiritual body was rapidly dissipating, and he had shrunk back to eight ters in height. He needed to escape the area as quickly as possible.
He flew for over ten li before finally stopping.
At this point, his spiritual body was shedding fragnts of ntal energy, on the verge of complete collapse.
After landing, he set Liu Yue and the others down.
"Why did you save ?" the Lord of the Mist asked, his voice echoing in his mind.
"Because I liked your face?"
The Lord of the Mist opened his mouth, then fell silent, at a loss for words.
At that mont, his spiritual body exploded into nothingness.
This ti, Feng Qi could no longer feel his physical body.
Seeing his spiritual body disintegrate, the Lord of the Mist didn't hesitate and shot into the sky.
"That bastard... so real!"
Watching the Lord of the Mist flee at this critical mont, Feng Qi couldn't help but scoff.
Without the Lord of the Mist's bolstering of his Qi and Blood Power, he imdiately felt his consciousness begin to dissipate again.
He also realized he wouldn't live much longer.
With this thought, he spoke:
"A'Yue, your Brother Qi's path is coming to an end. You must keep striving forward on the road ahead."
"Okay."
"Since we're about to part, won't you say so touching farewell words?"
"I won't."
Hearing this, Feng Qi burst into hearty laughter.
"Good brother, take care."
"Mhm." Liu Yue nodded vigorously, his eyes already reddening.
Even for soone not skilled with words, his inner grief was palpable.
At that mont, Feng Qi turned to Qin Shikong, who stood silently beside them.
"Old Taoist, before we part, I have one question for you."
"Ask away. I'll answer truthfully."
"When you cast a divination for at Victory Academy, what exactly did you see? And why wouldn't you tell ?"
Qin Shikong's face grew wistful. He smiled wryly and gazed toward the setting sun, then replied:
"I've used various thods to glimpse your entire life. The eight characters predict a life of hardship, the six lines show every divination failing, and Qin reveals you can't distinguish the eight gates... Finally, when I looked to the stars to deduce your destiny, I saw countless branching paths and bizarre twists and turns... I rember thinking, what kind of end could possibly be worthy of such a turbulent journey?"
Hearing this, Feng Qi smiled.
"I once had grand ambitions—to beco a technique researcher and contribute to the advancent of cultivation studies... But now my dream is simple: I just want an ideal future, a future without an end."
Qin Shikong's expression softened, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Feng Qi, it's been an honor to walk alongside you."
Feng Qi grinned.
"In the next tiline, we'll continue walking together!"
The sun was setting, painting the sky in hues of twilight.
The three sat on the ground, gazing at the sky and discussing the future.
But gradually, Feng Qi's voice faded...
