The showdown between Chu Feng and Yin Tianchou was one where both were determined to win.
For the loser would very likely die!!!
Though both had sacrificed their respective treasures capable of enhancing boundary spirit techniques, the outcome remained undecided.
By this point, neither held anything back, yet the battle was still extremely close.
Time passed bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, their fight had lasted nearly a full day.
If a full day passed without a victor, they would face another consequence.
Both would be eliminated and teleported out of the Pregnant Object Forest by the power of the formation.
This made Chu Feng somewhat anxious. After all, he had entered the Pregnant Object Forest to help Song Yun obtain the Holy Healing Pearl. Dragging things out like this would cause him to miss the opportunity.
Yet Yin Tianchou’s strength was truly formidable.
In battles against boundary spirit masters of his generation, no one had ever put such immense pressure on Chu Feng as Yin Tianchou did.
Defeating him would not be easy.
Swish.
However, just as Chu Feng was constantly thinking about how to overcome Yin Tianchou,
Yin Tianchou made a shocking move. He suddenly hurled the silver bowl in his hand high into the sky.
Once released, the silver bowl instantly grew larger. In an instant, it became a colossal object tens of thousands of metres long, enveloping both Chu Feng and Yin Tianchou.
“This feeling… something’s wrong.”
Once covered by the silver bowl, Chu Feng immediately sensed danger.
The silver bowl possessed a special power. After being enveloped by it, Chu Feng felt as though he was completely under its control.
Sensing something amiss, Chu Feng hurriedly tried to escape, only to discover in shock that he could not leave the bowl’s range.
Beyond the area covered by the silver bowl was an invisible wall. That wall was extremely sturdy, and Chu Feng could not break through it.
“It seems you’ve noticed.”
“But it’s useless. Unless your strength far exceeds mine, you cannot escape.”
Yin Tianchou said to Chu Feng.
“Your own strength is insufficient, so you plan to use the power of a treasure to crush me?”
“Yin Tianchou, you’re nothing special.”
Chu Feng spoke in a mocking tone.
“You’re wrong. Although I do intend to rely on this treasure’s power to crush you,”
“in the end, I’m still relying on myself.”
“I admit you’re capable, but if you truly believe you can stand on equal footing with me, Yin Tianchou, then you’re gravely mistaken.”
“Now, I’ll let you understand just how vast the gap between us really is!!!”
Boom.
Suddenly, overwhelming aura surged out from Yin Tianchou’s body like a tidal wave, rushing straight into the heavens!!!
That aura was somewhat strange. It was formed from the fusion of white, grey, and blue flames.
They resembled dragons yet were not dragons. They seemed to possess their own life, yet also formed a complete whole.
Beautiful, exceedingly beautiful. Yet alongside that beauty came a sense of awe.
It was neither martial power nor boundary spirit power.
It was bloodline power, the unique boundary spirit bloodline exclusive to boundary spirit masters.
After that boundary spirit bloodline emerged, Chu Feng felt an extremely strong oppressive force.
“How can this be? Not only has he released his boundary spirit bloodline in this form,”
“but this bloodline contains not a trace of boundary spirit power, yet it still brings me such intense oppression?”
“Is it because of that treasure?”
Chu Feng looked up at the silver bowl that blocked the void and covered this expanse of the world.
He felt the current situation was highly abnormal. If he had to explain it, it must be due to the special power of this silver bowl.
“Is this the first time in your life you’ve felt power like this?”
“Let me tell you what it is. This is a boundary spirit bloodline. It’s similar to the Heaven-granted Divine Power and Heavenly Bloodlines of martial cultivators, but… this is a boundary spirit bloodline, something only boundary spirit masters can possess.”
“The rarity of a boundary spirit bloodline is tens of thousands of times greater than that of a Heaven-granted Divine Power.”
“Only geniuses among geniuses chosen by the heavens can possess a boundary spirit bloodline.”
“And this is my boundary spirit bloodline.”
“Now do you understand who your opponent is?”
“I, Yin Tianchou, possess the strongest bloodline among all boundary spirit masters in the Nine Souls Heavenly River!!!”
Yin Tianchou seemed to want Chu Feng to die knowing the truth, or perhaps he simply wished to show off his abilities. Instead of attacking immediately, he spoke with great pride.
“A boundary spirit bloodline can only assist a boundary spirit master. Though it can enhance boundary spirit techniques or even protect oneself, it cannot be used directly in combat.”
“Yet now, your boundary spirit bloodline brings me extremely strong oppression. This oppression far exceeds that of your earlier boundary spirit techniques, meaning the power of this bloodline has surpassed your own strength.”
“Why is this? Is it because of this treasure?”
Chu Feng asked Yin Tianchou.
In truth, even without explanation, Chu Feng knew that what Yin Tianchou had released was a boundary spirit bloodline.
But Chu Feng was more curious about why Yin Tianchou’s boundary spirit bloodline brought him such intense oppression.
“You guessed right. This treasure of mine has quite the origin. It is called the Bloodline Space.”
“Enhancing my boundary spirit techniques is merely a secondary function.”
“Its true power is to open a bloodline space.”
“Unless your realm or strength far surpasses mine, within this bloodline space, your boundary spirit techniques will become ineffective. Only the boundary spirit bloodline will determine victory or defeat.”
“In simple terms, once the bloodline space is activated, within this space, strength is decided by the boundary spirit bloodline.”
Yin Tianchou explained.
Upon hearing this, a joyful smile actually appeared on Chu Feng’s face.
“So that’s how it is. No wonder I’m so excited.”
“What did you just say? Excited?”
“Didn’t you feel my oppression?”
“Since you’ve felt the oppression of my boundary spirit bloodline, shouldn’t you be terrified?”
Yin Tianchou’s gaze shifted slightly. He seemed to sense something ominous.
“Yes, I did feel oppression. But compared to the oppression you bring me, my blood right now is surging with excitement, eager to burst out of my body.”
“Yin Tianchou, I can tell you that in my entire life, I’ve never been as excited as I am now. I can no longer hold them back.”
Chu Feng’s face was full of smiles, but to Yin Tianchou, that smile appeared utterly eerie.
