Chapter 273. Eji, Come Here
Seeing the K-Masked Man suddenly appear not far in front of him, Xize was startled.
He clearly sensed that the K-Masked Man had used an A-class Spirit Robe!
This guy was only third-stage? No, fourth-stage. Fifth-stage? Xize keenly perceived the unstable Spirit Pressure fluctuations that only accompanied a promotion.
He quickly understood. The K-Masked Man had actually broken through from third-stage to fourth-stage mid-battle, and then used some bizarre method to compress his Spirit Particle density, further pushing his Spirit Pressure to the level of Rank 5 Pu Wu!!
Yin Shi, who was watching quietly from a distance, was also stunned. His indifferent expression furrowed, and a hint of surprise flashed in his grayish-white eyes.
He came from Heavenly Revelation, and all members of Heavenly Revelation were geniuses, so he had seen geniuses in all sorts of senses.
However, this was the first time he had witnessed a mid-battle breakthrough like this.
In the history of the Empire, the fastest record for breaking through from third-stage to fourth-stage was 4 hours, 31 minutes, and 5 seconds. Who would normally dare to drink a promotion potion mid-battle to break through? It would be no different from seeking death.
So, it was more likely that the K-Masked Man had already consumed the promotion potion and completed its digestion, and was just now completing the breakthrough?
But even so, it was incredibly outrageous.
What was even more outrageous was that such a fourth-stage Spirit Master could use an A-class Spirit Robe!
Although the K-Masked Man had compressed his Spirit Particle density to the fifth-stage level, increasing his defense, his Spirit Particle quantity could not suddenly surge to the fifth-stage level because of this.
Of course, Spirit Particle quantity was not the main point. The main point was that this guy had learned an A-class Spirit Robe when he was only third-stage!
This was truly outrageous to the extreme. Xize’s gaze turned sharp, yet tinged with excitement.
Even if these guys were geniuses, as long as they weren’t true martial powerhouses, they wouldn’t pose much of a threat to him.
Over the years, he had killed countless geniuses. He had to admit, there was a certain thrill in slaughtering peerless geniuses.
Of course, this K-Masked Man was different this time. If he used an A-class Spirit Robe, he could pose a certain threat to him.
As the K-Masked Man approached, his surrounding domain of black and white also covered a range of fifty meters.
Like a scene from an old movie, a mysterious person in a black robe stood silently at the intersection of light and darkness. The lines of the ‘K’ on the eerie mask twisted faintly, looking inexplicably terrifying.
Xize could sense that the gaze of this fly seemed to pass over him, directly at Eji Pegasus behind him.
Perhaps he was attracted by Eji’s stunning beauty.
“Tsk,” he let out a cold laugh and waved his hand, “Kill!”
The surrounding Season Emissaries immediately responded, and strands of Spirit Particle light intertwined, forming nine electric chains that shot towards the K-Masked Man from all directions!
[Copy successful—]
[B-grade · Horse King Spear]
[Spear Horsemanship: Wielding this spear, your movement speed will gain a 5%~12% increase. At the same time, targets attacked by this spear will have the illusion that they are horses, and will be psychologically suggested to prostrate themselves before you and be ridden by you. The effect depends on the target’s mental state.]
[Spear Body Space: You can use this spear to open up an alternate dimension (capable of accommodating one living being). You can hide in the alternate dimension for 2 seconds. The alternate dimension can evade most damage, including but not limited to Spirit Robe attacks, Calamity Force Erosion, and Spacetime Turbulence.]
[Anomaly—Horse King Spear → Artifact Calamity Form · Eji Pegasus: The Spirit Artifact can transform into a female centaur and develop self-awareness.]
[Artifact Calamity Amplification—
1. Eji’s body is naturally covered in terrifying Calamity Force, capable of creating Extreme Flames containing high concentrations of Calamity Force. Contact with a target can erode mental power while also lowering the target’s reason.
2. Riding Eji allows one to leap into the Spear Body Space, extending the alternate dimension’s time limit to 3 seconds.]
As a large amount of information flooded into his mind, a golden spear appeared out of thin air in Xia Feng’s hand. He slashed it beside him, opened up an alternate dimension, and retreated into it.
*Zzzzzzt—*
The lightning chains that were encircling him from all directions collided, missing their target and letting out a terrifying roar, with blinding light assaulting the eyes.
Everyone was stunned. “No, why was that spear so familiar?” the Emissaries exclaimed in their hearts.
Xize was equally taken aback. He almost suspected he was hallucinating. The K-Masked Man’s Spirit Artifact, both in appearance and in the way its abilities manifested, was exactly the same as Eji Pegasus before her transformation?!
However, there were countless Spirit Artifacts in this world, and it was possible to encounter similar ones occasionally.
Of course, there was another possibility, and that was—
The K-Masked Man is Xia Feng?!
But how was that possible? An eighteen-year-old student who had only become a Spirit Master for less than half a year possessed the ability to barely contend with a true martial Spirit Master?
What a joke!
Even Huang Ye, a Pillar State, might not be able to achieve such a level! No matter how monstrous Xia Feng was, could he be more monstrous than Huang Ye?
Xize, who had initially thought there was no need to worry too much, now felt the situation was becoming increasingly bizarre.
He felt an inexplicable sense of unease in his heart.
But it didn’t matter anymore!
He quickly recovered, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Eji in front of him. She was about to complete her Calamity transformation! Only two seconds left, one second!
The soul perfectly underwent Calamity transformation, and a dark, sigil-like symbol rapidly gathered within the Spirit Body, then suddenly dispersed.
Xize felt his Spirit Body and physical body undergoing abnormal evolution, no longer fearing Calamity Force Erosion.
Seeing this, he instantly raised his head excitedly, grinning, “Eji! Kneel!”
Eji Pegasus’s beautiful eyes turned cold. Her exquisite little face remained proud and unmoved. She let out a cold laugh, kicked her hooves, and turned to leave.
!
However, she heard Xize’s faint telepathic voice: “Eji, as long as you agree to be ridden, your Master has a way to further increase your strength significantly! Even more than double your current strength.”
The telepathic transmission occurred in an instant. Eji couldn’t help but halt her hooves, turn back, and cast a hesitant glance at her Master with her beautiful eyes.
She had to admit, if her strength could be increased, she was somewhat tempted.
As a Spirit Artifact lifeform, she had an extraordinary craving for strengthening Spirit Artifacts.
Seeing Eji hesitate, Xize knew he had succeeded. He smiled lightly and was about to say more when a male voice came from behind him: “Eji, your name is Eji, right? Come here.”
Xize: “?”
After dodging the attack from the formation of Emissaries, the K-Masked Man leaped out of the alternate dimension. Xize turned his head and glanced, finding it amusing. What was this suicidal guy doing? Actually ordering his Spirit Artifact?
Eji Pegasus also raised her eyes. Her beautiful eyes, tinged with an alluring flame, looked down at the K-Masked Man in the distance with disdain.
This human is even more clueless than Master. Who does he think he is? To dare command this Eji?
Xia Feng discovered that Eji Pegasus in her Artifact Calamity state was much stronger than the Horse King Spear. Since that was the case, he naturally had to snatch this mare too.
Such self-aware Spirit Artifacts could not be controlled by Spirit Unsealing, but Holy Solution was different.
Within the Enlightenment Domain, even free Spirit Artifacts could not resist.
Xize couldn’t be bothered to deal with the K-Masked Man. He turned back and went in front of Eji.
There would be plenty of time to deal with the K-Masked Man later. For now, he wanted to experience what it was like to ride Eji. He was already impatient.
But at this moment, his footsteps couldn’t help but halt, and his eyes widened slightly in astonishment.
He saw the mare’s body in front of him suddenly disintegrate into crimson Spirit Light.
“Eji?”
Eji was also stunned. Her beautiful eyes widened in terror as she let out a neighing cry, but she still transformed into Spirit Flow and rushed towards the K-Masked Man.
“Eji!?” Xize was somewhat bewildered and subconsciously reached out.
But everything happened too quickly. The crimson Spirit Flow had already flown close to Xia Feng, gradually transforming into a two-meter-tall, majestic mare with an arrogant and beautiful little face tilted upwards.
Terrifying Calamity Flames surged and spread. Xia Feng raised his head, meeting the angry and condescending gaze of the mare.
