On a star that was densely covered in grey haze, the ground was in complete desolation. Numerous collapsed ancient ruins covered the ground, and as wind blew by, sand swept up madly and howled through the air along with the wind. It was a gloomy scene of desolation.

　　Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

　　Two streaks tore through the sky, and then two figures appeared. It was exactly Chen Xi and Tie Yunping.

　　“Be careful. Numerous formidable auras are scattered throughout this star. It isn’t just ferocious beasts, and there are numerous partic.i.p.ants of the hunt as well.” Chen Xi’s gaze swept the surroundings while his enormous will swept out. In an instant, he’d roughly determined the situation on this star.

　　Tie Yunping’s heart shook, and she nodded silently.

　　“A ferocious beast comparable to the Domain Enlightened Spirit G.o.d realm resides 22,500km away. Its aura isn’t really strong, so you can try to fight it.” Chen Xi’s eyes flowed with cold lightning as he quickly relied on his formidable will to lock onto a ferocious beast that had concealed itself.

　　Clang!

　　Tie Yunping withdrew her indigo colored sword. In an instant, she entered into a combat ready state, and her fair and pretty face was covered by a murderous and piercingly cold expression.

　　“Come.” When he saw this, Chen Xi didn’t hesitate at all to flick his sleeve, and he took Tie Yunping along as he vanished on the spot.

　　…

　　This was an expanse of ruins. Ancient buildings had collapsed, and they were branded with the mottled traces of time.

　　It was very difficult to imagine exactly when these collapsed ancient buildings had been built, or exactly when they’d been obliterated into such ruins.

　　Perhaps living beings had resided on this star countless years ago, and a cultivation civilization had been born here. Yet now, time had pa.s.sed like a flash of light, and everything had been reduced to ruins.

　　“Make your move!” Chen Xi’s clothed fluttered as he pointed towards the ruins in the distance, and he lightly spat out three words from between his lips.

　　Swis.h.!.+

　　His voice hadn’t finished resounding through the air when a wisp of peerlessly murderous sword qi that carried blazing Divine Dao Laws shot out explosively from Tie Yunping.

　　It tore through s.p.a.ce as it slashed down forcefully at that expanse of ruins.

　　Bang!

　　However, before the sword qi could descend, the rocks at that expanse of ruins collapsed into pieces, and then a crimson red torrent shot out explosively. The red light flashed, and then this wisp of sword qi was easily melted away! 

　　This was a monstrous snake with a savage and ghastly appearance. It possessed two crimson red bodies that were thick like buckets, and it was covered densely by scales and mysterious markings. There were six legs that seemed like iron blades on its stomach while a pair of scarlet red wings made out of flesh resided on its back, and it emanated a vicious, ferocious, and violent aura.

　　The great ferocious divine beast, Feiyi![1]

　　According to legend, the hiss of this beast was like the cries of an infant. It was born with the ability to control divine flames capable of incinerating mountains, boiling oceans, and melting all things!

　　This Feiyi before them was obviously even more terrifying. Merely the aura it emanated caused s.p.a.ce to be incinerated and all things to transform into ash in an area of 5,000km around it, and even the air warped and was thrown into disorder from the high temperature.

　　It made it seem as if they were amidst an ocean of lava.

　　Hiss~ Hiss~

　　The Feiyi had obviously been infuriated. It carried surging divine radiance and flames as it shot fiercely towards Tie Yunping like a torrent.

　　The glow of flames shot into the sky while waves of heat swept through the air, and it truly seemed as if the world was about to be melted.

　　In an instant, Tie Yunping’s entire body stiffened while her pretty face turned ghastly pale. A wisp of astonishment suffused the s.p.a.ce between her brows while the Divine Energy within her entire body seemed to have been restrained, causing her to actually be unable to arouse the slightest intention to resist no matter how she struggled!

　　How terrifying was this?

　　Merely a strand of aura emanated by it during battle had caused her to be helpless and unable to move.

　　At this moment, Tie Yunping finally understood exactly how great the gap between her and a Domain Enlightened Spirit G.o.d was.

　　Bang!

　　Terrifying waves of heat swept over, and its high temperature seemed simply capable of melting a G.o.d into liquid. At this instant, Tie Yunping felt that she would definitely die….

　　However, right at this critical moment, she felt her shrill being grabbed onto, and then a might force swept over and instantly took her away.

　　The Feiyi’s furious and unwilling roars could still be heard from afar, and it was ear piercing.

　　After a short while, Chen Xi’s calm and tranquil voice drifted out from before a craggy rock that had been severely by the wind.

　　“In a battle with a Domain Enlightened Spirit G.o.d, there must be no fear in your heart, and you must fight with all your might. There were distracting thoughts in your heart earlier, and it caused you to fall into a disadvantageous position instead. According to my deduction, if you performed normally, then you would at least possess over 10 methods to resist that attack….”

　　When she heard Chen Xi’s calm voice, Tie Yunping whose heart still carried a trace of terror had unconsciously become tranquil, and she listened to Chen Xi’s a.n.a.lysis in a serious manner.

　　10 minutes later.

　　Chen Xi asked. “How do you feel?”

　　Tie Yunping’s expression was calm while a wisp of surging desire to do battle had been lit once more within her eyes. She nodded and said, “Senior, I wish to fight it again!”

　　Chen Xi nodded. If it was someone with a Dao Heart that wasn’t firm, then that person would probably have collapsed under such pressure of life and death. However, Tie Yunping didn’t collapse.

　　This young woman’s disposition was so tenacious that even Chen Xi couldn’t help but exclaim with surprise in his heart, and he felt even more admiration towards her.

　　…

　　Rumble! 

　　From early in the morning until dusk, wave after wave of the sounds of battle resounded intermittently in this area, and it had never stopped.

　　The setting sun burned like flames, and as it illuminated Tie Yunping’s pretty face, a wisp of a firm and pure radiance suffused her face.

　　Her physical strength was on the verge of utter exhaustion, her face was ghastly pale, and her entire body was drenched in cold sweat. Moreover, her palm that held her sword couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

　　She’d long since forgotten exactly how many times she’d failed or how many times her life had been in danger. All she knew was that with every single failure she experienced, her chances to defeat the Feiyi grew by a thread, and it even carried immeasurable benefits for her future cultivation.

　　So, she’d gritted her teeth and persisted all the way, and she’d never given up.

　　She suffered repeated defeats! Yet she grew stronger with every defeat!

　　After experiencing the tempering of blood and battle and the trials of sweat and persistence, no matter how ordinary one’s natural talent was, one was bound to not be ordinary in life any longer.
