ck of security.Separation, after all, will eventually come. Ye Bufan still has a lot to take care of.Three days later, bidding farewell to Jin Meier, he left Manhuang City with Qingye Wang Lanxi and h...Seeing his reaction, Xia Qing called out again: “Brother Ye, what’s wrong with you Are you shocked because I’m too awesome, right”

"Ah... yes, you're really impressive!"

Ye Bufan nodded, only then did he realize that Xiao Qing wasn't happy for him at all.

But thinking about it, I feel relieved. I estimate that my current cultivation level is probably like me playing Tetris in front of her eyes—simply pitiful and not worth boasting about.

Xiao Qing, of course, didn't know his thoughts and said again, "Ye Gege, have you ever beaten this game to the second level"

"No...no!"

Ye Bufan agreed with his mouth, but secretly thought, "What kind of weakling would start from the first level"

"I'm so beyond excited!"

The naive Xia Qing excitedly clenched her fists, thinking that Ye Bufan really thought she was amazing.

Then she picked up the game console and started intently playing the second level.

But after a few rounds, Ye Bufan saw the words "gameover" displayed on the game console screen.

Xiaoqing was not discouraged at all. After playing for so many days, she finally reached the second level, which made her feel that she had made a lot of progress. Then she started playing from the first level again.

Ye Bufan reached out and patted his forehead. This little girl was really persistent.

He no longer paid attention to Xiao Qing and began to continue examining his cultivation.

In the past, the Soul Severing Blade was his most powerful trump card, able to help him transcend levels and slay opponents at critical moments. Now that his mental power has drastically increased, let's see how this skill fares now.

Thinking about this, he calmed his mind and concentrated. A transparent curved blade appeared in his sea of consciousness.

Unlike real knives, this one has no handle, only a blade, about a foot long, resembling a curved crescent moon.

"This..."

Ye Bufan immediately realized something was wrong. In the past, when he used the Soul Severing Blade, it was always illusory and intangible, only able to attack people's Sea of Consciousness and Soul. It had no effect on physical entities.

But the knife gave him a sense of tangible reality, could this be the legendary invisibility made visible

With excitement in his heart, he thought hard, and the sword in his mind sea sliced towards a wooden table beside him.

With a mere click, the Crescent Moon Soul-Severing Blade shot out from his sea of consciousness and slashed a foot-long gash across the wooden table.

For a cultivator, this effect was inferior even to an ordinary blade, but Ye Bufan was overjoyed.

To know that this is a divine soul blade, capable of directly slashing into the opponent's sea of consciousness.

Even a high-level cultivator's sea of consciousness wouldn't have much stronger defenses than this wooden table.

Now he could be sure, the Soul Reaver Sword had finally entered its second stage, which was to be formless yet take shape. This meant his combat power had received a qualitative boost.

In the past, using the Soul Severing Blade would only cause a temporary lapse in the target's spirit. But now it's different, it will inevitably injure their sea of consciousness, the effects are completely incomparable.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Xiaoqing who was beside him, intently playing a game. A mischievous smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

With a thought, the Divine Soul Blade slashed towards Xiaoqing's sea of consciousness.

Although he had just witnessed the might of his Soul-Reaping Sword, he wasn't worried about hurting Xiaoqing. After all, she was an eighth-order monster with astonishing defenses. Even her Sea of Consciousness was tougher than any ordinary person's.

The gap in status between the two was simply too great. He just wanted to test the power of his soul-severing blade so that he would have a better idea of its capabilities when he made his move in the future.

Xiaoqing was focusing intensely on her game, and she was about to break through to the second level for the second time. Suddenly, her mind went blank. When she came back to herself, the words "game over" flashed on the screen.

"Uh..."

She was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what was going on and glared at him angrily.

"Brother Ye, what are you doing I'm about to reach the second level, and you've messed everything up."

Ye Bufan had a smile on his face. He had been observing Xiao Qing's changes all along, and under the other party's complete lack of defense, his soul-splitting knife only caused the other party to lose consciousness for half a breath.

It seems that with my current spiritual strength, I can still fight against those in the early stage of the Void Realm. But when facing powerful warriors at the later stages and above, I can only run as far away as possible.

"It's alright, it's alright. You're so good, we can play another round soon."

Ye Bufan soothed the angry Xiao Qing, then said, "Go call Lanlan over."

"Humph! You're dead to me!" Xia Qing snorted, "One ice cream, or else not going!"

"Sure thing."

Ye Bufan hurriedly smiled and offered an ice cream.

Xiaoqing took it over, savored a beautiful bite, and then her anger turned to joy. She then swayed the braids on her head and walked out the door.

She came back soon after, followed by Naran Yu Jia.

"Xiaofan, do you have something to talk to me about"

"After Nalan Yu Jia finished speaking, she looked astonished. "Your aura seems to have changed, you're already at the Nascent Soul stage"

"Yeah, I just repaired my injuries and came to test how much my cultivation has improved."

Ye Bufan said, he set up several powerful barriers in succession to prevent the room from being damaged when they made a move later.

He knew that although he was only in the early stages of fusion now, his combat power was definitely much stronger than this. After all, those spirit stones weren't absorbed for nothing.

"Alright, are you ready Let me see just how powerful you are now."

Nalan Yujia said, as she circulated the Bahong Jue. Seeing Ye Bufan was ready, she took out one-tenth of her strength and punched over.

Although she didn't use her full power, this strike was comparable to that of a cultivator at the early stage of fusion.

Ye Bufan raised his hand and waved it, an invisible force effortlessly defusing Naran Yujia's punch.

As expected, even though it's still in its early stages of fusion, the combat power is definitely more than what it seems.

"Lalan, give it your all. Don't worry, you won't hurt me."

"Alright, be careful."

Nalan Yugua was also aroused, the Bada Long Jue ran wildly, a powerful aura suddenly erupted, and then another punch blasted out.

This punch was more than ten times stronger than the previous one. The fierce wind swept around, instantly shredding the only wooden table in the room into pieces.

If Ye Bufan hadn't just set up a powerful barrier, the entire place would have collapsed.

A look of excitement flashed across Ye Bufan's face, and he met the punch with one of his own. The two fists collided without any flourish, making a dull thud.

He took two steps back to steady himself, while Naran Yujia was flung out with a whoosh and crashed heavily against the wall behind her.

Fortunately, he only used 80% of his cultivation in this attack and did not unleash his full power. Otherwise, he would have been injured.

Seeing this result, Ye Bufan was filled with excitement. The Chaos Qi was indeed powerful, and once he broke through, he would be invincible at the same level. Even now, if he faced a peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he could still fight.

If paired with the Divine Soul Blade, it would be completely capable of holding its own against a Void Core initial stage cultivator.

After the excitement subsided, he hurriedly went over to help Nalan Yujia up. "Lanlan, are you alright"

"It's nothing, just when did you become so powerful"

Nalan Yujia was filled with shock, unable to understand how Ye Bufan could become so powerful in just a few hours.

"I was in the fusion stage before, and now that my sea of consciousness has healed, my strength naturally returned."

To prevent causing too much commotion, Ye Bufan directly stated that his previous cultivation level was the Nascent Soul Stage, which made sense.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

Xiaoqing watched from the side, seeing that Naran Yujia was not an opponent. She then punched Ye Bufan. way to let the other party leave alive, so he directly used the Annihilation Bow.The black-clad assassin's horror hadn't subsided yet. As the pinnacle of the Shadow Gate, he had seen and known much,...
