I make a contract with myself

Chapter 480 Spirit Level 9, Rank 9

"Mmm~"

Amidst the resounding cry of the phoenix, the phoenix flames burned fiercely.

With a flick of her wings, Feng Chu blew a wisp of ash into the starry sky, then took flight, shielding her younger brother, Ao Tian, ​​from the enemy's underhanded attack.

Ao Tian blinked and realized he had been tricked, and was immediately furious.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the dragon claw slammed down, tearing through space and creating a spatial turbulence.

But compared to the spatial turbulence, the dragon claws hidden within are even more impossible to ignore.

After all, it was this claw that truly tore space apart.

The Dark Spirit excels at ambushes; direct confrontation is not its style, and it would be torn to shreds by Aotian in no time.

The dragon claw came with great speed and ferocity; even with all his might, he barely managed to dodge it.

It was burned directly by the phoenix flames.

Dark Spirit: "..."

Have you no shame? Two against one...

On his deathbed, he had only one thought in his mind.

Feng Chu unleashed a series of smooth combos, leaving it nearly dead, before Ao Tian arrived and finished it off with a breath of dragon's breath.

After the dragon and phoenix finished fighting, seeing that their companions were all fine and didn't need the two spirits to come to their rescue, they wandered freely around the battlefield, causing trouble everywhere.

They even dare to tease those who are only half-legendary.

Sun Yan smiled helplessly, his eyes sparkling with a strange light. Spiritual energy gathered here, and a ball of spiritual energy, somewhere between the real and the unreal, quietly enveloped the little golden man.

"What is this?" the little golden man asked, puzzled.

I don't feel threatened.

Upon actual touch, it remains the same, leaving one puzzled.

Sun Yan, panting heavily, still smiled and said, "I advise you to go somewhere and go into seclusion for a while to neutralize this move of mine."

The little golden statue remained silent for a moment, but it listened to the advice and turned to leave.

He didn't know why he ran away. Maybe he felt that the other party had no reason to lie to him, or maybe it was because this spiritual energy was too strange. It was ordinary in every way, yet it made people feel cold all over.

The little golden statue was scared; it was afraid of dying.

Seeing that their backer had fled, the others, after a moment of shock, retreated.

Without saying a word, Sun Yan led the elves in pursuit.

Even if it takes all our strength, we must take down a few.

They only allowed Xiaobai and Xiaohei to conserve their strength so they could escape at any time.

After chasing them for about 10,000 kilometers, I did manage to kill a few unlucky guys. It would be impolite to go any further.

There are two half-step legends squatting over there.

So Sun Yan ordered a retreat, took the elves back to the Spirit Realm, and had Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei lead them across the starry sky, returning to the Otherworldly Pass.

With another flash, he arrived at the cave dwelling and began meditating in seclusion.

Indeed, only through battle can one truly learn.

He had previously unleashed his killing move without any hesitation because he was showing signs of a breakthrough and couldn't afford to delay.

The latest version of the Invincible Technique was activated at full power, and a thunderous roar came from his body. However, Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei, who were guarding him outside, could not hear anything.

Inside the cave, countless spirit stones turned into dust and surged towards Sun Yan, who was like a bottomless pit, where they were all absorbed by him.

The pills were being sold bottle after bottle.

But that's not enough.

Seeing this, the demon mask pondered for a moment, then activated its spirit domain to summon Little Bone.

Since Little Bone returned, he has been diligently cultivating and has already reached the seventh rank, ninth level of the Spirit level. He is on the verge of a breakthrough and only needs a boost to advance.

Xiao Hei took out the bone powder he had prepared beforehand. This powder was scraped from the remains of two half-step legendary figures. One of them was killed by a dragon, and the other was killed by the elemental spirit king in a sneak attack. It was extremely precious.

I didn't use it on Little Bone before, just for this moment.

There's no other way. With one more or one less Spirit-level Rank 8 combatant, it really doesn't make a big difference. It's better to assist the Spirit Master in breaking through at a crucial moment.

Since I can't help in the battle, I'll make up for it in terms of cultivation.

“Gah…”

Little Bone knew the elf needed it, so it didn't hesitate and sprinkled the bone powder on its body, then immediately began to absorb it by circulating its spiritual energy.

There's a saying that goes, "The battlefield drives the progress of civilization."

Otherwise, where would Sun Yan get the bone powder of a half-step legendary being? Could he have killed a dragon or a phoenix?

You can't joke like that.

The evil spirit mask knew that Little Bone needed more time, so it asked Little White to help it speed things up so it could break through as soon as possible and provide support to Sun Yan.

That might not be enough...

The demon mask once again opened the spirit realm and summoned the Human Emperor Banner.

In his personal space, there was a prepared Soul Refining Bead, made by the Undead Clan, which condensed the dead souls from the battlefield.

The quality isn't as good as bone meal, but the quantity is much larger.

Of course, those souls were from outsiders, but the souls of their own people were also collected and handed over to Liu Xian for a ritual to help them pass on.

The two elves, whose cultivation levels and those of the elf wielders differed greatly, could only provide a limited amount of feedback power together. However, he was just one step away from achieving his goal.

Nowadays, the elves are either newly awakened or have encountered a bottleneck, so we definitely can't force them to grow too fast.

At worst, we can just let the elf wielder endure a few more years.

Compared to Little Bone, the breakthrough of the Human Emperor Banner is much easier.

It's just a step further from the eighth rank, fifth level of the Spirit level. It had a good foundation before, so this step wasn't too difficult.

However, under the command of the demon mask, the two spirits simultaneously completed their breakthroughs.

The power of feedback was generated and integrated into Sun Yan's body, slowly but steadily breaking through the bottleneck, ultimately pushing Sun Yan's cultivation level up by one stage.

Spiritual Rank, Ninth Grade, Ninth Level!

Looking across the entire Ancient Spirit World, aside from the Primordial Immortal Spirits, this is the highest level of cultivation.

As for the half-step legend, it sounds like it's very difficult, but in reality, for him, for the most perfect human being, it's a piece of cake.

Because he is now at the same level as Fan Wuji.

Half a Legend!

"I see."

Sun Yan opened his eyes, a glint of intelligence flashing in them. Some of his doubts were resolved as his cultivation level improved.

He laughed happily, "I was wondering why this breakthrough was so difficult. After all that, I'm only half a step into the legendary realm? Ha, I'm still just a ninth-grade spirit..."

The demon mask looked puzzled, its curiosity piqued: "What do you mean?"

Sun Yan explained with great interest, "I checked accounts with Fan Wuji before. The so-called half-step legend should be someone whose spiritual cultivation has reached its peak and who has completely mastered a certain kind of rule power."

"I have dabbled in life and death, time and space, yin and yang, and the eight elements. In particular, I have already achieved the conditions for time and space. The only thing I lack is spiritual energy cultivation."

"As for the legends... about mastering the rules and... the rules themselves..."

The demon mask listened quietly, without disturbing his self-talk.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

A mysterious and obscure aura gradually emanated from Sun Yan's body, while he himself seemed to merge with nature, becoming a visible but intangible existence.

They thought that if things continued this way, they would be able to glimpse the legend, but in an instant, that obscure and mysterious power collapsed.

Sun Yan's face turned pale, and the stable spiritual energy circulating within his body became disordered.

His meridians burst open, turning him into a bloody mess.

At the same time, it felt as if a piece of his soul had been ripped out, and he fainted.
