The brilliant radiance from the Little Phoenix illuminated the fourth layer of the Sword Tomb with a dazzling brilliance.

An incredibly noble aura of life spread from the Little Phoenix's body.

The originally chubby little chick became dignified and sacred, as if untouchable and inviolable.

Immediately after, a loud cry rang out from the mouth of the Little Phoenix, and its figure instantly grew larger.

"Boom!"

Terrifying Phoenix flames erupted violently, and then transformed into phoenix-like figures, soaring and swirling in the air. The speed of each Phoenix Illusion was so fast that even Ye Chen's Martial Arts True Eye found it hard to catch.

Moreover, each Phoenix Illusion carried a power aura that made Ye Chen's heart race.

A moment later.

The Little Phoenix, having finished its display, reverted to its original chick-like size, and said, "How about it, impressive, right?"

Ye Chen nodded. This move was indeed very strong.

"The Phoenix Illusions you conjured just now, whether in speed or attack power, can pose a huge threat to someone at the Mortal Transformation Realm level. Also, you can appear at the location of any Illusion at any time, right?"

"How did you know?"

The Little Phoenix was quite shocked.

Ye Chen said, "I also noticed that you currently don't have enough strength to achieve an instant switch between your main body and the Illusions."

The Little Phoenix: "…"

"What's this move called?"

"Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens!"

Ye Chen responded with a hum, then turned to Master Legs, saying, "Master Legs, can the Heaven-Ascending Step be improved? Such teleportation is really useful!"

Master Legs emphasized, "That's the bloodline inheritance of the Phoenix Race!"

Kid, what are you thinking?

The bloodline inheritance of the Phoenix Race isn't something you can just apply?

"I think it's worth a try. Use the speed of the Heaven-Ascending Step to set up afterimages that provide a positioning effect, then use the Hua Family's Void Sword technique to let my body shuttle through the space crevice!"

Master Legs was stunned!

Ye Chen actually thought of a method so quickly, and his boldness is truly extraordinary!

"The space crevice is very small. It's already not easy to hide Sword Qi in it, but your body is much larger than Sword Qi, and you want to fit into a space crevice?

Impossible!

And even if you could squeeze your body into the space crevice, could you withstand it? The pressure of the space crevice would crush you instantly!"

"The space crevice is too small... I'm too big... the pressure of the space crevice..." Ye Chen murmured, then fell into thought. After a moment, he said, "The small size of the space crevice isn't really a problem; just force it open. As for the pressure of the space crevice... maybe I can really withstand it, after all, my sword body has already matured and is strong enough!"

Master Legs could only curse his lack of eyes, otherwise, he would've given Ye Chen a roll of the eyes, and after some thought, he decided not to discourage Ye Chen. The path of Martial Dao is inherently a long road of exploration. Although the path paved by predecessors is convenient, the path you forge yourself is more suitable.

"If you can really achieve that, it will indeed be very effective. After all, hiding power in a space crevice hardly alters the structure of space, making it very stealthy.

In combat, space shuttling isn't nearly as convenient because first, you have to break the space barrier, which creates a lot of movement, alerting others as soon as you act."

This even intrigued Master Legs.

If Ye Chen truly succeeded, it would be a killer move, effectively combining the Heaven-Ascending Step, Phoenix Blood inheritance, sword body, and Void Clarity Sword Technique.

The Little Phoenix, having just flaunted its power, now felt dejected.

Its impressive bloodline inheritance... had been ignored and overlooked!

It felt small, helpless, and pitiful!

......

Surrounding the cloud ship soaring through the high skies, the white clouds surged, resembling an enchanting paradise.

Suddenly.

A thunderous boom resounded, and rolling thunderclouds approached, dense and thick arcs of electricity flickered within, and the crackling sounds were nonstop.

Moreover, a raging gale swept over, terrifying in all its aspects.

Elder Qi of the Celestial Soldier Pavilion instantly rushed onto the cloud ship's deck, his face extremely grim.

Thundercloud storm!

Such bad luck events happened rarely, and Elder Qi cursed under his breath that he happened to encounter it.

This is the most dangerous kind of atmospheric disaster, with less than a ten percent chance of the cloud ship escaping unscathed!

At this moment, everyone in their rooms rushed out, their faces turning pale at the sight before them.

Panic-stricken emotions quickly spread to everyone's hearts, with frantic shouts rising steadily.

"Everyone get back inside their rooms, running outside will only bring death! Don't blame our Celestial Soldier Pavilion for it!"

"Activate the cloud ship's strongest defense!"

"Contact the nearest Celestial Soldier Pavilion immediately and request support!"

Elder Qi shouted repeatedly, his hands making rapid seals.

The array light shield on the cloud ship suddenly became brighter, and at every crucial point of the ship's array restrictions, people from the Celestial Soldier Pavilion were activating arrays.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The raging gale and those purple bolts of thunder continuously assaulted the array restrictions of the cloud ship.

The array restrictions trembled as if on the verge of collapse, and the cloud ship shook violently as if it were about to be torn apart by the gale and shattered by the purple thunder.

Elder Qi's body kept trembling; as he controlled the array, the fierce impacts caused severe backlash, with blood continuously oozing from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, while cracks began to appear on his body.

Elder Qi's heart sunk to the lowest depths.

It seemed like it wouldn't hold out.

At that moment.

Ye Chen, with a face full of curiosity, walked out from his room, gazed through the array light shield, and at his core, couldn't help but feel an intense sense of oppression.

This was heavenly might!

The roaring gale seemed like giant hands waving, causing the entire cloud ship to tremble uncontrollably.

The purple thunder seemed like terrifying spears, falling one after another, causing alarming cracks in the array light shield.

"Boom!"

Another terrifying streak of purple thunder struck the array light shield, puncturing a large hole through it.

The terrifying gale then rushed in through that large hole, and the fierce howls were enough to make one's scalp tingle just by hearing it.

A gust of gale instantly swept to Ye Chen's front; there wasn't even time to use the Heaven-Ascending Step to dodge, nor enough time to draw his sword, and he could only place the sheathed Celestial Mark Sword in front of him.

"Boom!"

The sword sheath shattered, and Ye Chen's body flew backward heavily, slamming onto the deck, tasting sweetness in his throat and spitting out a mouthful of blood with a loud "wah."

As soon as Ye Chen stood up, more gusts of swirling gale appeared around him…

At that moment, from the topmost part of the cloud ship, a beam of light descended, enveloping Ye Chen and blocking all the gale winds.

"Come up!"

A soft voice sounded beside Ye Chen's ear, and without any hesitation, Ye Chen leaped towards the topmost part of the cloud ship.
