Chapter 158: The Lose-Destroyed

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After the Scarlet Flame Stallion appeared behind Chen Yan, Chen Yan’s body also began to change.

A large number of flame patterns began to appear on the surface of his skin, and many patterns appeared on his face.

Even his body had undergone different degrees of change.

His legs began to elongate and expand, finally turning into two hooves.

This form was very similar to the Blood Demon transformation of the Xueyang Sect, but there seemed to be a slight difference.

This was because the Blood Demon transformation was a transformation used by cultivators to modify their physical bodies using the demon’s bloodline, while Chen Yan’s transformation was more like a divine ability.

Through some special means, he could obtain a special power for a short period of time.

This technique was a special divine ability that the Heavenly Devils gained after joining the Heavenly Devil Palace, called the Heavenly Devil’s Possession.

In fact, when Chen Yan was chasing Bai Dafei, he had already used a certain degree of Heavenly Devil’s Possession.

However, the strength of the Heavenly Devil’s Possession depended on both the growth level of the Heavenly Devil and the upper limit of the Heavenly Devil’s power that the cultivator could withstand.

Previously, Chen Yan had only borrowed a little of the Heavenly Devil’s power.

After obtaining the speed boost from the Scarlet Flame Stallion, he was only borrowing about 10% of its original speed.

But now, Chen Yan had increased the degree of fusion to 20%, which was the limit he could withstand at his current tier of cultivation.

After obtaining 20% of the strength of the Scarlet Flame Stallion, Chen Yan’s cultivation instantly rose from the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage to the first transition of the Core Formation Stage.

The terrifying aura and flames surrounding his body now had a certain degree of elegance reminiscent of the divine beast, Scarlet Flame Stallion.

After transforming, Chen Yan released his grip on the flame spear and kicked the purple gold core furnace in front of him with incredible force.

Bang!

This kick instantly kicked away the purple gold core furnace that was originally suppressing him.

As the purple gold core furnace was retreating, a large number of cracks began to appear on its surface.

It could be seen how shocking the power of Chen Yan’s kick was.

Bai Dafei, who was connected to the purple gold core furnace, spat out a mouthful of blood but he did not give up.

He took out a pile of pills from his storage bag and stuffed them into his mouth.

After these pills entered his mouth, they instantly alleviated many of his injuries.

However, despite his efforts, the broken purple gold core furnace and the large gap in strength between him and Chen Yan remained unchanged.

Bai Dafei controlled the purple gold core furnace and attacked Chen Yan again.

The purple gold core furnace that was floating in the air began to turn around and fly toward Chen Yan again.

However, Chen Yan, who had completed the Heavenly Devil’s Possession, was no longer comparable to before.

Before the purple gold core furnace could reach him, Chen Yan kicked it again.

Boom!

The thick purple gold core furnace flew up again, and the cracks on it began to visibly increase.

Chen Yan seemed determined to destroy Bai Dafei’s hope completely.

He began to attack the purple gold core furnace crazily.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chen Yan turned into a blur and continued to shuttle around the purple gold core furnace.

Bai Dafei couldn’t even see his opponent’s movements.

Every time Chen Yan’s attack struck the purple gold core furnace, it felt as if he was striking Bai Dafei himself.

Under the ferocious attack, blood began to pour from Bai Dafei’s mouth, and his face grew even paler.

Despite this, Bai Dafei refused to give up. He controlled the purple gold core furnace and sought out opportunities to strike back.

With the support of the Scarlet Flame Stallion, Chen Yan’s speed was very fast.

However, Bai Dafei quickly discovered a weakness that wasn’t considered a weakness.

Perhaps it was because Chen Yan had just obtained the Heavenly Devil, Scarlet Flame Stallion, he was still not used to the current fighting style.

Or rather, it was because he was unable to adapt to the astonishing increase in speed brought by the Scarlet Flame Stallion.

Therefore, every time he moved, Chen Yan’s movements were straight and he rarely turned.

To Chen Yan, this was a weakness, but it was not.

Although Chen Yan’s speed was several times faster than Bai Dafei’s, if he wanted to defeat Bai Dafei, he could have easily rushed straight at him and killed him on the spot.

However, Chen Yan’s current actions were clearly to make Bai Dafei feel hopeless and defeated.

Therefore, he wanted to torture Bai Dafei and make him feel the gap in their strength.

But in doing so, he inadvertently gave Bai Dafei an opportunity.

Bai Dafei defended Chen Yan’s attacks while thinking about how to find an opportunity to strike back.

Just as Chen Yan finished another attack and was about to give the cracked purple gold core furnace a final blow…

Bai Dafei suddenly activated his magic art.

Boom!

The massive purple gold core furnace exploded just as Chen Yan was about to kick it.

This unexpected explosion caught Chen Yan off guard.

It’s worth noting that the purple gold core furnace was a low-grade magical item.

To make such a magic item self-destruct was not something that a cultivator could do with just a thought.

The cultivator had to have a deep mental connection with the magic item first.

Only then could he detonate the divine soul inside the magic item, which was the embryonic form of the artifact spirit.

The fundamental difference between a magic item and a magic instrument was the presence of an initial artifact spirit.

A true magic item was one with a complete artifact spirit.

“Bai Dafei!”

The self-detonation of a low-grade magic item was as powerful as a full-strength strike from a cultivator at the fifth or sixth transition of the Core Formation Stage.

The shattered fragments of the core furnace transformed into sharp flying swords that easily pierced through Chen Yan’s body, leaving behind numerous wounds.

Moreover, the explosion of the magic item also produced a special kind of divine soul, which constituted a double attack on both the physical and mental levels.

Although Chen Yan was now as powerful as a Core Formation Stage cultivator, this did not mean that his physical body was as strong as that of a True Martial Realm body cultivator.

When the ashes from the explosion dispersed, Chen Yan’s figure was finally revealed, but he was no longer as arrogant as before.

Not only was his body covered in wounds, but one of his arms was completely broken.

With such injuries, it was clear that he had suffered greatly.

However, Bai Dafei was not in a better condition.

After all, the explosion of the magic item did not discriminate between friend and foe.

In this explosion, Bai Dafei also sustained severe injuries.

Not to mention that he had already been seriously injured before.

One of the fragments of the core furnace was even embedded directly into his abdomen, right at his spiritual root.

It could be said that even if he managed to survive, it would be strange if his cultivation didn’t stagnate, or even worse, he lost his cultivation entirely.

Although both of them were heavily injured, Chen Yan’s condition was undoubtedly much better than Bai Dafei’s.

At least Chen Yan still retained a certain amount of combat power.

Bai Dafei looked at Chen Yan, who had already begun to adjust his breath. He was also trying his best to recover.

However, with his damaged spiritual root, his recovery effect could only be described as marginal.

Thinking of this, Bai Dafei felt bitter in his heart.

Master, it seems that disciple…won’t be able to avoid this disaster..
