Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"That voice... is it the Five Wonders Elder?"

Looking up at the sound, Lu Feng couldn't help but show surprise.

A gigantic, grotesque face slowly emerged from the dark night sky, its eyes wide with fury as it stared intently at Lu Feng on the ground below. The voice was also very familiar; it belonged to the Five Masters Elder, who had appeared at the auction in the capital in the past.

"Strange, what exactly is this old guy trying to do?"

Seeing this, Lu Feng was even more surprised.

After all, he had no grudge against the Five Elders, and they had never even met. Normally, it would be unlikely that the other party would cause him any trouble.

"You little bastard from the Extreme Domination Sect, don't get too cocky...!"

Above the sky, the Five Elders' furious voice rang out once more, seemingly fueled by the shattering of his own magic, "Even if you manage to break my Nightmare Soul Devouring Technique, you will absolutely not escape alive today...!"

"Extreme Overlord Sect? Small scum?"

The threatening voice of the Five Elders slowly reached Lu Feng's ears, causing him to pause slightly in surprise. Then, a strange expression appeared on his face. "Could this old fellow have mistaken me for Li Wenyan, the young master of the Hidden Origin Pavilion...?"

Upon realizing this, Lu Feng suddenly understood.

Back in the day, at an auction in the capital, the Five Masters Elder and Li Wenyang had a feud over a fifth-grade spiritual treasure called the "Dragon Elephant Killing Wheel." Now, having just come out of Li Wenyang's VIP room, he had practically walked right into a trap.

After all, the Five Elders did not know Li Wenyang, nor had they ever seen what he looked like. They only knew that he was young, and Lu Feng just happened to meet all the criteria, so he was naturally mistaken for Li Wenyang.

"I never expected to run into something like this. This is truly an undeserved misfortune..."

Lu Feng looked up at the sky, a self-deprecating smile on his lips, but he was not in a hurry to run away.

Although the Five Elders' Yuan Power cultivation was remarkable, having reached the first level of the Spirit Soul Realm, he was not without the ability to fight!

With his Yuanli cultivation breaking through to the seventh level of the Opening Meridian Realm and his Jialuo Nirvana Sutra breaking through to the fifth level, Lu Feng's strength is now completely different from before. Ordinary martial artists below the Spirit Soul Realm can hardly do anything to him!

Therefore, Lu Feng also wanted to see his true strength and limits, and the Five Great Elders who suddenly appeared in front of him were undoubtedly an excellent test subject!

"A hundred ghostly illusions, annihilating all living beings!"

Above the night sky, the face of the Five Elders twisted and changed again, and then an even more powerful aura suddenly descended, as if forming its own invisible domain, which almost instantly enveloped the area within a radius of several thousand meters!

"Waaaaah...! Waaaaah...! Waaaaah...!"

At the same time, transparent ghostly figures appeared out of thin air, like fireflies in the night. They surrounded Lu Feng almost instantly, emitting mournful howls that sent chills down his spine.

The aura of this group of transparent ghostly figures was far stronger than that of the corpses that had crawled out of the ground earlier; they seemed to be an enhanced version of the Nightmare Soul Devouring Technique!

"Such a powerful aura and oppressive force...!"

Faced with the threat of the Five Elders and the group of transparent ghostly figures around him, Lu Feng froze on the spot, unable to move his hands and feet, and could only gasp for breath.

After all, the difference between a Spirit Soul Realm expert and a Meridian Opening Realm martial artist is enormous, like one being in the heavens and the other on the earth, and they are simply incomparable!

"Whether it's this old thing or those strange, transparent ghostly figures in the sky, the aura they exude is quite different from ordinary elemental energy. Not only is it invisible and colorless, but it's also quite similar to soul power...!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the unique innate spiritual soul possessed by a Spirit Soul Realm expert...!"

Clenching his teeth again, Lu Feng tried to break free of his body's restraints by circulating his Yuan Power, while looking up at the giant human face in the sky.

Right now, compared to the countless transparent ghostly figures wandering around, he is more wary of the Five Absolutes Elder, who is lurking in the shadows and has yet to reveal his true form!

After all, the opponent never revealed his true form, but only used illusions to deal with Lu Feng, seemingly intentionally conserving his strength while testing the latter's true strength.

As for the natal spirit soul, it is a special ability unique to those who are strong in the Spirit Soul Realm. It is generally born deep in the dantian of a martial artist, and its shape is like a rhombus crystal. It is also generally divided into five types: "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth", hence it is also called the Five Elements Spirit Soul.

However, the innate spiritual soul awakened by each Spirit Soul Realm expert is different, even varied and bizarre!

Just like the Five Great Elders in front of us, the natal spirit awakened in his dantian is not the common Five Elements Spirit, but a very special "illusory soul"!

The so-called "Phantom Spirit Soul" has no power of its own and cannot enhance the personal strength of a martial artist. Its only function is to enhance the effect of mental martial arts.

As luck would have it, the Five Absolutes Elder not only possessed remarkable Yuan Power cultivation, but was also a third-grade alchemist with equally strong soul power, thus enabling him to maximize the power of "Illusory Spirit Soul".

As for Lu Feng being unable to break free from the Nightmare Soul Devouring Technique at the beginning, it was also due to the influence of the Five Elders' "Illusory Spirit Soul". If the former had not held the Treasure Basin as a trump card, he would most likely have been trapped to death in the Nightmare Illusion!

"This little brat actually managed to break free from my oppressive aura...?!"

Seeing that Lu Feng had regained control of his body, the Five Elders, who were lurking in the shadows, also looked surprised and somewhat incredulous.

After all, he was a powerful expert at the first level of the Spirit Soul Realm. Even though he was old and frail and his strength was not at its peak, he was still not someone that a mere seventh-level Qi Opening Realm martial artist could contend with!

"It's nothing but a death throes. Let's see how long you can last...!"

With another cold snort, the Five Absolutes Elder released his Illusionary Spirit Soul once more, his aura becoming even more oppressive. "Kill this little bastard!"

"Waaaaah...! Waaaaah...! Waaaaah...!"

With a command from the Five Elders, countless transparent ghostly figures that had been floating in mid-air let out a mournful howl. The next moment, like a locust plague sweeping across the land, they swept towards Lu Feng on the ground below. Their momentum was so great that it made people's hearts tremble!
