Whoosh!

The tearing sound of the wind, along with the massive gust spreading over five thousand meters, came crashing towards Ye Zhen and the kitten like a furious wave.

However, this time, the reaction of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was extremely timely, unlike when it had been caught off guard by a sneak attack before.

As the storm rose, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten’s wings shook, and the space in front suddenly trembled, carrying Ye Zhen into the spatial passage.

This made Ye Zhen secretly grateful.

Luckily, the kitten had made a breakthrough, otherwise, facing this terrifying wind today, Ye Zhen could only attempt to escape by water.

"My Lord Ye, the guy in front of you is definitely not a strong wind. If it were truly a strong wind, you would have been completely devoured by it by now!" the lazy voice of the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou sounded.

"If it’s not a strong wind, then what is it? From the ancient records I’ve seen, the description of the Ancient Fierce Beast Strong Wind looks very similar to this guy!"

"The speed of the strong wind is innate; once it reaches adulthood, a single flap of its wings spans at least ninety thousand miles. The kitten can teleport three to five thousand miles at a time, but in front of a true strong wind, the moment you appear, it would simultaneously appear, tearing you to shreds!" said Achou, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit.

"Then what is it?" Ye Zhen asked, full of curiosity.

"It’s not a strong wind, but it is related to the strong wind, and not far removed! If I’m correct, it should be a Green Winged Wind Kite, a distant descendant of the strong wind!"

"However, Lord Ye, do not underestimate it just because it’s a distant descendant. This Green Winged Wind Kite inherits the fierce nature of the strong wind, and its combat power is extremely strong.

Especially since the Green Winged Wind Kite in front of us has reached mid Dao Realm cultivation!"

"Yes, under normal circumstances, with the cultivation and combat power of this Green Winged Wind Kite, it can slaughter a peak Ninth Stage Realm King Realm expert as easily as killing a dog.

Among Dao Realm experts of the same cultivation level, its combat power is top-tier. So, my suggestion to you is to flee.

Try to escape, and get as far away as you can; you are definitely not its match. Don’t even think about being its match, if it gets close to you, you’ll be dead!" said Achou rapidly.

"Is it that formidable? Not even the Purple Spirit Immortal Sword and the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder can deal with it?" Ye Zhen frowned.

"The Purple Spirit Immortal Sword can barely threaten it, but at best, it will only injure, not be fatal. Moreover, your chances of hitting it are very low.

As for the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder, if you transform into a Kui Niu, you might injure it, but will you have the opportunity to deploy it?

And even then, it will only cause injuries at best, slightly more threatening than the Purple Spirit Immortal Sword." said Achou.

Ye Zhen’s heart sank suddenly, "Even with my current breakthrough in cultivation, it won’t be enough?"

The power of the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder increases slightly with the rise in Ye Zhen’s cultivation. In these five years of rigorous training, although Ye Zhen’s cultivation hasn’t improved as rapidly as the Great Saint of Jinghai’s.

The extent of the increase isn’t insignificant either.

But the actual increase hasn’t reached the level Ye Zhen anticipated.

According to Ye Zhen’s expectations, after five years of rigorous training, his cultivation should have reached late First Stage of Dark Palace Realm or early to mid Second Stage.

But in reality, Ye Zhen’s cultivation is still stuck at the peak of Ninth Stage Divine Communication Realm and hasn’t broken through to the Dark Palace Realm.

It’s not that Ye Zhen’s cultivation speed is too slow; it’s actually quite fast.

Although not as innately blessed as the Demon Race, among the Human Clan warriors, in these five years, it could be considered top-notch.

In just three and a half years of seclusion within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Ye Zhen’s cultivation progressed from early-stage Sixth Stage of Divine Communication Realm to peak Ninth Stage Divine Communication Realm.

Ye Zhen isn’t stuck at the bottleneck of peak Ninth Stage Divine Communication Realm; he could consolidate his Spirit Palace and establish a Dark Palace anytime.

But the problem arises at the crucial moment of transforming the Spirit Palace into the Dark Palace.

Every time Ye Zhen attempts the transformation, at the very last moment, the forming Dark Palace collapses instantly.

This left Ye Zhen very puzzled.

Fortunately, Ye Zhen has two "monsters" by his side. He consulted Achou and Purple Spirit on this matter separately.

Initially, both were unclear about the situation as well; how could the forming Dark Palace shatter?

It was only after they personally witnessed one of Ye Zhen’s failed breakthroughs that they discovered the source of Ye Zhen’s failure lay in his Primordial Spirit!

The core of the Dark Palace is the martial artist’s Innate Divine Soul, but for Ye Zhen, it’s the Primordial Spirit.

The Divine might of the Primordial Spirit is too intense. Every time the Dark Palace forms, it collapses on the spot, unable to withstand the divine might.

This left Ye Zhen both amused and helpless, leading to nothing but bitter laughter!

He had prematurely formed the Primordial Spirit, only Dao Realm experts can form, was he digging a pit for himself?

This situation, even for Achou and Purple Spirit, creatures existing for countless years, was unprecedented, and they have yet to come up with a solution.

As a result, Ye Zhen’s cultivation remains trapped at the peak Ninth Stage Divine Communication Realm, while his senior sister Liao Feibai is catching up.

However, even if Ye Zhen’s cultivation only progressed from early-stage Sixth Stage of Divine Communication Realm to peak Ninth Stage Divine Communication Realm, his combat power has increased exponentially.

But as Achou stated, this increase is not very useful.

After all, the cultivation gap between him and the Green Winged Wind Kite is too significant.

During the brief moment of rapid exchange between the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou and Ye Zhen using divine sense, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was forced to escape from the interspatial passage.

Inside the interspatial passage, it was filled with chaotic space currents. The Kitten could only traverse with its innate divine abilities and could not stay for long.

This time, using its Void-Breaking Divine Power, the Kitten deliberately changed direction and appeared five thousand miles away.

However, the instant it appeared, a piercing storm shrieked from the distance toward their location.

Though five thousand miles wasn’t exactly close, the storm’s shriek, upon its first note, was already within a thousand miles.

Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly changed.

The Kitten’s Void-Breaking Divine Power couldn’t shake off the Green Winged Wind Kite, which was currently faster than the Kitten.

In other words, if Ye Zhen wanted to escape the chase of the Green Winged Wind Kite, he could only rely on himself.

Ye Zhen thought that under the current situation, the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape was a good choice.

With a swift thought, he flicked his fingers, and two Sixth Formation Profound Fire Drills shot out from his fingertips, directly at the swiftly approaching Green Winged Wind Kite!

Ye Zhen’s idea was to use these two Sixth Formation Profound Fire Drills to buy more time for a long escape, given the Green Winged Wind Kite was a mid Dao Realm existence.

Without needing any instruction from Ye Zhen, the Kitten, connected to him in mind, immediately burrowed back into his arms. With a flick of Ye Zhen’s divine sense, the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape was instantly activated. His figure swayed and vanished into the void before the Green Winged Wind Kite could arrive.

But just at the moment Ye Zhen entered the void, he was horror-stricken to discover that the Sixth Formation Profound Fire Drill he hurled towards the Green Winged Wind Kite was like a toy to it.

The Green Winged Wind Kite opened its mouth and sprayed out over a hundred wind blades like lightning. Before Ye Zhen’s Profound Fire Drill could explode, the two drills were shattered to pieces by those wind blades.

Remaining embers were instantly extinguished in the hurricane!

It should be known that before his arduous cultivation, Ye Zhen’s Sixth Formation Profound Fire Drill already had the power to severely injure a Ninth Stage Realm King.

Now, with Ye Zhen’s cultivation skyrocketing to the peak of the Ninth Stage of the Divine Communication Realm, even a strong Ninth Stage Realm King wouldn’t dare to meet it head-on.

Yet, in front of this Green Winged Wind Kite, it seemed like a mere toy.

This further proved that what Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou said was true, that the combat power of the Green Winged Wind Kite, the descendant of the Great Wind, was extraordinarily monstrous!

"Escape skill?"

Upon seeing the sudden disappearance of Ye Zhen, the Green Winged Wind Kite, having just arrived, let out a cold laugh like the sound of a broken gong from its beak. It stood up on its bird legs, a pair of sharp, icy talons glistening, while a massive pair of wings flicked and collided heavily.

Bang!

The green light emitted from the pair of wings spread out like rippling water, instantly permeating the entire world.

Subsequently, the form of the Green Winged Wind Kite shimmered, the giant wings vanished, transforming into a middle-aged man wearing feathered garments with a sinister expression.

"Let’s see how long you can hide!"

The Green Winged Wind Kite sneered, its small eyes wide open, emitting two beams of substantial green light. Within the green light, bizarre phenomena emerged.

Even the tiniest speck of dust was clearly visible.

At the same moment, Ye Zhen, who had just relied on the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape to vanish into the void, was turning red in the face, struggling under the impact of the water-like green light emanating from the Green Winged Wind Kite.

The water-like green light could indeed compress space, forcing Ye Zhen out of the void.

Every spiritual power light point around Ye Zhen was either bursting or merging due to the green light’s pressure.

Ye Zhen felt as if several mountains were pressing down on him, about to crush him.

It should be said, if Ye Zhen did not escape the void soon, the green light would truly crush him.

Inwardly lamenting, Ye Zhen felt a hint of regret.

If he had continued to ride away on the Kitten, perhaps he wouldn’t be in this impossible predicament before him.

If he were to emerge like this, Ye Zhen would surely die!

"Open!"

With a furious roar, the primordial spirit within Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace abruptly opened its eyes, releasing a terrifying divine brilliance, forcefully splitting the approaching green light apart.

Seizing this moment, Ye Zhen’s divine sense moved swiftly toward the sea.

But Ye Zhen had only escaped a kilometer when the just parted green light pressed in with even greater intensity.

Like a bursting dam, the force of the compression was several times stronger than before.

This time, Ye Zhen could no longer part the green light.

His figure quivered and helplessly fell out from the void.

Yet, at the instant of falling out, Ye Zhen’s expression was filled with joy, accelerating fiercely towards the close-by sea.

Ye Zhen just couldn’t believe that this Green Winged Wind Kite, a fierce bird in the sky, could still prevail in the sea?
