Beneath countless trembling gazes, high in the sky above the collapsing castle, Chen Fei and the Flame Demon General collided. In that midair clash, their sword and blade slammed into one another like meteors streaking across the heavens.

CLANG!

The moment they impacted, a deafening roar thundered in all directions.

A violent surge of magma and icy-blue Sword Qi immediately followed. Almost instantly, it swept out with terrifying force, crushing everything in its path. An entire radius of dozens of meters was enveloped in a scene resembling a missile explosion!

The mere shockwave sent Melsdom and the others reeling from a distance, making them cough up blood miserably. The scene was absolutely terrifying. To be injured from so far away was unthinkable…

BANG! BANG! BANG!

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

In midair, the two fearsome techniques had not dissipated. Instead, they were locked in a stalemate, neither able to completely destroy the other.

Chen Fei’s Reverse Sky Sword Formation was actually on par with the Flame Demon General’s trump card!

Not only was Zhen Jingkong stunned in his Sea of Consciousness, but even Chen Fei himself was surprised. After all, strictly speaking, the Reverse Sky Sword Formation was just a Qi Refining Realm technique, far below the current level of combat. He had initially just wanted to give it a try but was shocked to find it resulted in a draw!

Their techniques were at an impasse; neither could get the upper hand.

This indirectly proved the power of the Sword Array, which held the might of chaotic Sword Qi! If used below the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, within the Qi Refining Realm, the Reverse Sky Sword Formation could likely sweep through all opposition, truly invincible!

Damn it, why can the power this ant borrowed fight me to a standstill?! At this moment, the Flame Demon General’s face was extremely gloomy, his complexion a ghastly, ashen color. He couldn’t accept it. The power this ant had merely *borrowed* was equal to his own. What did that prove? Does this mean I’m trash? To be held to a stalemate like this was an absolute humiliation! A disgrace!

”Hmm?”

However, just as he was seething with shame and anger, his gaze suddenly sharpened. He snapped his head up, pupils contracting as he stared at the point of collision between the sword and blade.

The enormous Sword Qi condensed by the Reverse Sky Sword Formation suddenly erupted with extremely sharp and terrifying fluctuations.

Chen Fei had chosen to detonate it!

BANG!

BOOM!

As the Sword Qi from the Reverse Sky Sword Formation self-destructed, the chaotic underground world fell silent for an instant. It was followed by a terrifying shockwave that spread in all directions, completely submerging the Great Demon Dragon Blade and shattering it!

PFFT!

The Flame Demon General’s throat convulsed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura falling into chaos. Caught off guard by the backlash, he had been injured.

”Damned ant, I—I will definitely send you to hell today!” Injured by Chen Fei yet again, the Flame Demon General could no longer suppress the shame and fury in his heart. It erupted completely! The rage made his face, suffused with Spiritual Energy, grotesque beyond measure. He let out a roar that thundered between heaven and earth.

”Send me to hell? You’d better worry about yourself first… Reverse Sky Sword Formation, kill!”

However, just as the Demon General’s roar subsided, the ferocious expression on his face changed dramatically once more, his pupils constricting violently. To his shock, an immense force of Sword Qi had surged up behind him! As Chen Fei’s cold sneer echoed, the power crashed down on him like a monstrous wave!

The power of the Reverse Sky Sword Formation was unparalleled, seemingly capable of tearing anything apart. It was so horrifying that it sent a chill of dread deep into the Flame Demon General’s heart.

But even then, he was no pushover.

He fiercely swung his magma-like hand. From within his enraged, savage, and fiery pupils, a torrential amount of blistering heat cascaded down like a tidal wave. Just thirty centimeters behind him, it formed a wall of flames that blazed ferociously, seemingly capable of blocking anything.

BANG!

The dazzling Sword Qi of the Reverse Sky Sword Formation slammed into the wall of flames, causing it to tremble violently. It held for only a moment before collapsing with a crash. However, it had bought the Flame Demon General enough time to evade and counterattack!

”You snuck up on me, so don’t even think about leaving!” the Flame Demon General roared, his words dripping with menace. The terrifying magma power within his body then erupted without reservation!

His magma power transformed into a pillar of light that struck hard against the Reverse Sky Sword Formation. Each impact caused the array to shudder violently, pushing its operation past its limits!

The drawbacks of the Reverse Sky Sword Formation were now becoming apparent. It was, after all, merely a Qi Refining Realm technique. No matter how exquisite or powerful, the battle had already reached the level of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm!

”This Sword Array of yours is only a Qi Refining Realm technique. It’s not quite enough,” Zhen Jingkong observed, his tone grave, having clearly assessed the situation.

”I know…” Chen Fei responded, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile. ”But didn’t you say he’s a rare, valuable target? It’d be a waste not to get in some more practice, right?”

”You’re really treating him like a target?” Hearing this, Zhen Jingkong’s voice, echoing in Chen Fei’s Sea of Consciousness, was filled with astonishment and complex emotions. He had never imagined Chen Fei would give such an answer. He’s treating the Flame Demon General, the one who nearly killed me, as a live target for practice?!

”Why not? Didn’t you say you ’look down’ on him now? If that’s the case, what else should I treat him as? Don’t forget, I’m fighting him on your behalf right now!”

Tossing out these words, Chen Fei once again manipulated the Reverse Sky Sword Formation to charge the Flame Demon General! Immediately, terrifying Sword Qi shot across the sky, churning the clouds and piercing through the magma in a frightening display!

He knew that this opportunity to temporarily wield the power of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm was incredibly rare—the odds were even slimmer than one in ten thousand. The Reverse Sky Sword Formation was the ultimate technique of the Sanyang Sword Manual and was destined to be the key to establishing himself, and even dominating, the Qi Refining Realm of the Cultivation World. How could he let such a golden opportunity pass?

He was practically begging for the opponent to fight him for another three thousand rounds! If he could practice the Reverse Sky Sword Formation to the point of perfect mastery, that would be for the best…

But his opponent, it seemed, was no longer willing to give him that chance.

”I must admit, I underestimated you. But now, this all ends! This general has no desire to entangle himself with an ant like you any longer!”

As the cold, stern voice rang out, the Flame Demon General extended his palm and clenched his fist. A terrifying magma power converged like a black hole. A fearsome heat emanated from it as the Demon Dragon Blade appeared in his hand.

The Demon Dragon Blade was covered in scorched lava, churning in a way that made one’s scalp tingle. It evaporated the very air and annihilated what was left of the ruins. A destructive shockwave then erupted from it, seeming powerful enough to bury everything in this underground world for good!

The Flame Demon General’s aura grew even more terrifying. Holding the blade, he looked like a Demon God from hell.

”Allow me to send you to hell with my prized treasure!”
