Chapter 66 - Refine

“You've broken my Netherworld Ghost Claw. Impressive, you're quite skilled. You will really make for a good servant.”

Chen Changfeng stared at Chen Fan with a chilling gaze, somehow growing more fond of him.

The three tigers of the outer sect were his servants. They worked and collected primeval stones for him, but Chen Fan had slain one of those old tigers. He wanted to take Chen Fan in as a servant to make up for Zhao Hu’s position.

“Infinite Thunderclap!”

Chen Fan couldn’t be bothered talking with Chen Changfeng anymore and immediately unleashed a sword technique.

From within the depths of his dantian, primeval qi rose and enveloped his sword, making Killing Wind emit an unprecedented radiance.

“Chen Fan, if you believed that our previous exchange showcased my full strength, you're gravely mistaken. Did you truly think I am merely at the early stage of the eighth level? Allow me to enlighten you. I am not; I have reached the peak stage of the eighth level.”

In the face of Chen Fan’s sword technique, Chen Changfeng smiled coldly, showing no signs of panic. He leisurely revealed his true cultivation level to everyone—the peak stage of the eighth level.

“According to rumors, I was trying to advance to the eighth level, but that was merely a smokescreen of my creation. I was actually trying to become a Qi Grandmaster, a ninth-level Qigong expert. Although I failed, I’m almost there.”

“Did you think defeating that trash, Yan Ba, makes you my equal? Stop dreaming! That’s nothing but fantasy. Now, I shall reveal the true extent of my terrifying strength and make you submit. I will have you kneel, kowtow, and address me as your master.”

“White Bone Gloves!”

Suddenly, a pair of gloves appeared in his hands.

The gloves exuded a somber white hue, emanating a malevolent aura as if crafted from bones. Intricate vein lines adorned their surface, with threads of blood coursing through them like capillary vessels.

When Chen Changfeng donned the gloves, an eerie white light radiated from them. The sinister aura intensified exponentially, transforming Chen Changfeng into an embodiment of the underworld's divine progeny.

Suddenly, he whistled loudly, summoning palm seals that enveloped the surroundings with his hands.

Each palm seal carried great momentum, producing rumbling noises. An onslaught of palm seals soon engulfed the fighting arena.

“White Bone Hand!”

The scene surprised some elders in the observation gallery. “Chen Changfeng has concealed his true strength remarkably well. His cultivation is actually at the peak stage of the eighth level. Moreover, White Bone Gloves are a grade-two treasure, greatly enhancing the power of his Netherworld White Bones Great Cultivation Technique, more than doubling its strength. He could even fight against Qi Grandmasters now.”

“That’s right. That kid named Chen Fan is in danger.”

Qin Changkong was also looking in their direction, his heart tightening with concern.

Chen Changfeng had concealed his true cultivation level from even these elders, employing a technique to mask his true power. Now that he had unleashed his true strength, it was nothing short of earth-shattering.

Furthermore, those White Bone Gloves were a grade-two treasure with astonishing power, elevating his aura to a level comparable to that of Qi Grandmasters. Qin Changkong immediately grew anxious for Chen Fan's safety.

“Chen Fan, I have never found the need to employ these White Bone Gloves against opponents who were not Qi Grandmasters. They were not worthy of witnessing their might. But you, you are the first!”

“But once I reveal them, blood must be shed. I’ll use your blood to bless this pair of gloves. However, I won't kill you. I still have plans to make you my servant!” Chen Changfeng said coldly.

Feeling somewhat irritated, he couldn't help but be vexed that someone as insignificant as Chen Fan had forced him to unveil his secret cultivation technique and treasure. It was a blow to his pride.

Chen Changfeng's figure darted through the air in a flash, conjuring whirlwinds akin to a majestic roc. His formidable cultivation manifested as the shadows of white bone demons.

These white bone demons descended with force, accompanied by a barrage of White Bone Hands, aiming to crush Chen Fan and unleash a bloodbath.

Kill!

Chen Changfeng’s every move was aimed at Chen Fan.

Countless White Bone Hands struck out from the void with his every strike, seemingly able to flatten a mountain.

The sudden eruption of such a devastating attack showcased absolute suppression.

Under the palm's pressure, Chen Fan resembled a sailboat in a tempest, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

“How unexpected. Chen Changfeng concealed his true strength so well, reaching the peak of the eighth level. He is undoubtedly the top disciple after Senior Brother Zhong Li. After the Outer Sect Grand Competition, he will obtain many rewards and become a Qi Grandmaster, his strength reaching new heights. He will also obtain unimaginable benefits when he enters the Dragon Mountain Blessed Land.”

“I know, right? But it’s also quite impressive for Chen Fan to have forced Chen Changfeng to display his full strength.”

“This Netherworld White Bones Great Cultivation Technique is too scary. It feels as though white bone ghosts are lurking everywhere, emerging from their graves with eerie bone claws capable of shattering our primeval qi with a single swipe.”

“As the grandson of the inner sect’s Grand Elder, would his cultivation technique be ordinary? If it weren’t for the rules, Chen Changfeng would likely be practicing an earth-tier cultivation technique.”

“......”

The crowd watched Chen Changfeng display his great powers, overpowering Chen Fan. Conversations filled with envy and jealousy echoed among them.

Being born into a prestigious family provided a strong support system and granted access to abundant cultivation resources and powerful techniques, allowing one to stand out among billions of people. It was only natural for others to feel envious.

Chen Changfeng was someone like that.

Backed by his grandfather, the Grand Elder of the inner sect, he practiced a powerful cultivation technique and had huge amounts of cultivation resources at his disposal. He could easily suppress his peers and display his exceptional strength, earning the envy and jealousy of others.

Currently, Chen Fan was locked in a fierce struggle.

Chen Changfeng was comparable to a Qi Grandmaster. Each palm strike carried an astonishing force, descending upon Chen Fan like lightning, shaking his qi and blood.

Moreover, Chen Changfang’s Netherworld White Bone primeval qi had a ghastly aura, infiltrating Chen Fan through his pores and affecting his psyche. The shadows of evil spirits appeared in his mind, distracting him.

“Haha, how is it, Chen Fan? Are you convinced? You can’t be a match for my godly strength. Kneel and submit to me. Serve me as your master. As long as you perform well in the future, I might even grant you a profound tier cultivation technique.”

Chen Changfeng laughed out loud, but the momentum of his attacks was as fierce as ever.

“Kneel, Chen Fan. My Netherworld White Bone primeval qi has infiltrated your mind and transformed into evil spirits, swaying your mentality and devouring your primeval qi. You can’t withstand it!”

Indeed, Chen Fan felt as if evil spirits were possessing him. He felt chills all over.

A powerful demonic force coursed through Chen Fan's meridians, exerting control over his primeval qi. A malevolent specter danced in his mind, swaying his thoughts and asserting dominance over his soul.

“Hmph, you think you can suppress me with that? How na?ve. Heaven Seizing Art!”

Chen Fan smiled coldly. In an instant, his primeval qi surged, channeling through the pathway of the Heaven Seizing Art, taking the form of the Heaven Seizing Furnace.

The Netherworld White Bone primeval qi within Chen Fan was immediately drawn into the furnace, undergoing refinement and transforming into nourishment that strengthened him.

Although Chen Fan had yet to condense the Heaven Seizing Furnace inside him, he had turned himself into a furnace. When activating the Heaven Seizing Art, he had assimilated its essence. Refining this bit of Netherworld White Bone primeval qi was not a problem.

Chen Fan eagerly anticipated the moment when he would successfully condense the Heaven Seizing Furnace within him. Once achieved, he could reduce everything to ashes through its refining power.

Hehe, I’ll refine your primeval qi and use it as the impetus to advance to the seventh level!

He even allowed Chen Changfeng's Netherworld White Bone primeval qi to enter him freely. After all, the more primeval qi entered him, the greater the benefits he would gain after refining it.
