In another city, the young man and the youth faced each other, the shockwaves between them reducing the surrounding buildings to dust.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with boundless hatred and greed. Wang Fei's family had been destroyed because of the Lin family, a hatred that had festered in his heart. He had originally planned to seek revenge after protecting this world.
He never expected the other party to be so insane, making the same choice as them. It was utterly mad. Did they not care about the world anymore? Did they disregard order?
To think that the patriarchs of the top three families would so carelessly abandon the world. The thought ignited Wang Fei's anger, and his killing intent surged even more fiercely. Lin Fei, seeing Wang Fei's murderous aura, also harbored the desire to kill him and seize the key.
"I wonder if those two have succeeded."
He felt a surge of excitement. All three families knew the secret hidden in that place, and they yearned to control that power, to be free from any constraints.
Seizing the moment while Lin Fei was lost in thought, Wang Fei stepped forward. His figure blurred into an afterimage, which instantly appeared before Lin Fei. He threw a punch. Facing this blow, Lin Fei slowly extended his palm and firmly gripped it. The fist seemed stuck in his palm as if by a suction cup, unable to be withdrawn.
With a flick of his arm, Lin Fei sent Wang Fei flying. Lin Fei's footsteps barely moved as he vanished from his spot. The next moment, he reappeared behind Wang Fei and struck with a palm. Fortunately, Wang Fei reacted swiftly and decisively, crossing his arms to defend and turning his body.
The palm hit his arms. He staggered back a few steps, and Wang Fei praised, "Not bad. At least against my fifty percent strength, you didn't suffer even a minor injury. You've grown much stronger."
"But this strength is still no match for me. If this is all you have, then your end today is certain."
Wang Fei's aura erupted. The young man's face grew solemn. He hadn't used his full strength from the start. It wasn't that he couldn't fight Lin Fei, but if he used that kind of power, it would be difficult for them to live in this world.
The secret they had been hiding was to fulfill their regrets. This world was facing a great disaster. They were the beings of this world in this life, and they had a responsibility to protect it. If they didn't even protect the world they lived in, would they still be worthy of being cultivators?
"Since that's the case, I'll let you witness it."
His entire body erupted. Faced with the current situation, he had no choice but to unleash his full power. Three energies burst forth from within him, causing the space to ripple. Two auras, alien to this world, appeared from his body.
"Impossible. Are you perhaps in your second reincarnation?"
He appeared astonished. The scene before him didn't look like the result of a single reincarnation. Two of the three energies had fluctuations that didn't belong to this world, indicating he had reincarnated three times. This was impossible. For one person to reincarnate, they had to cultivate to the peak first.
Without reaching the peak, it was impossible to choose the path of reincarnation. Moreover, given the time, they had no chance to reincarnate a second time during their first peak.
The patriarchs of the three families had only reincarnated a few days later than them, so that possibility was out.
But how could he explain what he was seeing? He was utterly bewildered.
He attacked with all his might, his form splitting into multiple bodies, surrounding Lin Fei. Lin Fei remained unfazed. "You merely wield multiple energies. I don't believe you have the strength to contend with me."
The six youths moved in different ways, appearing like clones yet feeling otherwise. It was peculiar. Normal clones maintained the same movements as the main body, but these clones were performing different actions.
Their attack patterns were different, indicating each clone possessed independent consciousness. How was this achieved?
While contemplating, Lin Fei quickly defended against the six incoming attacks. His entire body was enveloped in a black liquid barrier, reinforced by his own energy. Within the barrier, he would not suffer any damage or injuries.
"What a hard turtle shell."
He grumbled about the barrier, lamenting how tough it was. The combined attacks of the six of them were equivalent to a six-fold increase in attack power, yet the barrier held.
Then, the six youths moved in unison, their actions synchronized. Energy coalesced in their hands, forming a triangle as their left and right hands met and rotated.
A light spot continuously flickered at the center of the triangle. The charge was complete. Triangular light waves shot out from the top, bottom, left, right, front, and back. The light waves struck the barrier, and a series of thundering sounds erupted.
Continuous explosions echoed, and shockwaves surged, repelling everything. Since they were clones, they vanished the moment they were hit by the shockwaves.
"Hahaha, brat, it seems you're out of tricks."
"Don't get cocky. I was just testing you. It seems you're nothing but a cowering turtle."
"Brat, your taunts are useless against me. But since you wish for me to act, I won't disappoint you."
As his words fell, by the time Lin Fei reacted, a fist was already upon him. Such speed! Less than a second had passed. What approached him was not a fist but an Evil Spirit Claw, clenched into a fist.
In this situation, Lin Fei knew his fate. As a lackey of the Evil Spirit race, there was only one path left: to become an Evil Spirit.
It was merely a matter of how quickly he would be assimilated. The Evil Spirit fist approached. Lin Fei's palms were shrouded in energy. Three different energies merged skillfully. His palms collided with the fists.
A wave of energy spread from the center, then contracted. The flow of space around them slowed down. Above them, special transparent light beams enveloped them.
Neither of them had expected their collision to create this Stasis Field.
A Stasis Field required a powerful wave reaction, with energy fluctuations between both parties. The clash between Wang Fei and Lin Fei's energies had cleverly generated this domain.
Within the Stasis Field, all space, time, and living beings would be frozen. Even life itself would halt within the domain.
Currently, both sides were conscious but unable to move.
To escape this domain, someone from the outside would need to attack and break it.
"Damn it, why is it a Stasis Field? Does this mean I'll be frozen here forever?"
He grew worried. But then he remembered the other two. They wouldn't stand by and watch. He waited patiently.
Clearly, both of them knew about the Stasis Field. Their consciousness searched for a way out, but they couldn't conceive of a method to escape. They could only wait for someone to break the domain.
In the sky, a beam of light was heading towards the Stasis Field. It was a young man clad in armor, wearing golden armor and wielding a golden shield. His figure, like a dove, arrived before the domain.
"Chen Tian said it was here. Why can't I see anyone? But there's definitely a trace of combat energy around."
He scrutinized his surroundings but couldn't find the person Chen Tian had mentioned. It was strange; the aura was clear, so why couldn't he see them?
"Wait, is it possible they're in the void?"
He drew his Divine Spirit Sword and slashed it through the air before him, creating a rift. Just as he was about to step into it, his body instinctively resisted, as if he couldn't enter this space.
It was the first time he had felt this way, inexplicable.
"They are within the Stasis Field. You need to break the domain from the outside to see them."
The voice of the Heavenly Dao sounded. It was the first time he had heard of a Stasis Field.
