"In the circular space, a defensive martial art uses the outline of spirit energy to form a miniature defensive formation to block the enemy's attacks. The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the defense."

The Heaven-Revolving Tower was a defensive martial art that the old man had taught him. However, it was not used in combat, but in daily practice. He had used it to form a formation on the surface of his body in advance so that he could use it when training.

After the formation was formed, it wouldn't have stopped moving unless it was broken by a powerful force. At the same time, it also had the effect of isolating the surroundings.

Yang Li was extremely excited as well. He did not have any defensive spiritual arcane skills, and this Heavenly Completion Stage had mended his flaws greatly. His strength had also increased.

Spirit arts were naturally something that would be of great assistance to him only after he learned them. If he only had memories, it would be completely useless.

Although he did not know the grade of the spiritual magic that Daoist Tiangfang had taught him, it was extremely difficult to cultivate, and it also had an extremely high requirement on spiritual power.

Yang Li first attempted to outline a formation that could protect the entire body, but many times he failed. He used up all of his spiritual energy, but was unable to outline even half of it.

However, just the spiritual technique to protect the upper half of his body took him three days to succeed. However, it was still extremely unstable.

From what he could sense, a spiritual technique could only last for three days, and its defensive strength was not strong enough for him.

According to the introduction of the Heaven's Expanse Palace, if one were to completely cultivate it, not only would they be able to protect their entire body, but as long as it was not destroyed, they would be able to maintain it permanently.

However, Yang Li was very satisfied. After all, this was a spirit art taught by Daoist Tian Fang. Since he was able to traverse the entire continent, his rank would definitely not be low. Thus, it was normal for his training to be difficult.

"No wonder it's a spiritual technique passed down from an old cultivator from tens of thousands of years ago. I spent three days to cultivate it to such an extent." After Yang Li successfully cultivated it, he sighed in his heart.

However, what he did not know was that it was also because of his abnormal perception.

In the past few days, every time he had cultivated in the Heaven's Expanse Palace, he had used up all of his spiritual energy and recovered again and again. This had caused his spiritual energy to advance by a lot and he was only one step away from reaching the eighth level of the Qi Accumulation Stage.

Yang Li sat down cross-legged and recuperated his spiritual energy. Not long after, he stood up and prepared to leave.

"As expected of an expert. The formation he set up actually hasn't changed at all for the past twenty thousand years. Even the two golden fruit trees have changed a bit." When Yang Li finally left, he sized up the cave again and could not help but sigh.

"However, there's no need to be envious. With my talent, there will be a day when I can reach this realm and look down on the entire continent." Yang Li smiled and left the cave.

The interior of the cave didn't feel the passage of time. When Yang Li came out, it just so happened to be in the morning.

The morning and night in the Misty Cloud Forest were the most dangerous. The fog in the morning could block people's perception and line of sight, making them unable to sense or observe their surroundings. They were extremely vulnerable to danger.

At night, because of the rampage of demon beasts, they would be chased by a large number of demon beasts if they were not careful.

Yang Li frowned and resisted the urge to return to the cave. Instead, he walked toward the inner part of the forest with large strides.

"If I don't even have the courage to face danger, then how will I climb to the peak of my life?" Yang Li thought as he walked.

Suddenly, Emmie's eyes appeared in front of him. Yang Li stopped in his tracks, his heart full of vigilance.

That pair of green eyes were slowly walking towards him, and behind him, pairs of green eyes appeared. A depressing aura instantly permeated the forest, carrying with it a trace of the smell of blood.

"Dark Wolf!" The owner of the first eye had completely appeared in front of Yang Li. Yang Li's entire body shook with great shock.

The nether wolf was blue in color and had green eyes. It looked no different from an ordinary wolf. However, what gave people a headache was that the nether wolf was one of the few social demonic beasts in the Dense Fog Forest. Every time it appeared, it would appear in groups! Hence, the green eyes in the surroundings were obviously other nether wolves.

Yang Li instantly felt a headache coming on. There had to be a Wolf King amongst the nether wolves. Although the nether wolves before him were only at the late Second Rank, equivalent to a human at the sixth layer of Qi, they were unable to handle more wolves.

"Aooo!" Just as Yang Li was thinking about how to break the situation, a mournful wolf howl entered his ears.

Ming Lang, who was walking slowly towards Yang Li, immediately dashed towards him when he heard the sound.

Yang Li couldn't dodge in time, so he took out his crouching phoenix spear and struck at the waist of Dark Wolf. The body of Dark Wolf cried out as it fell to the side, its body twitching uncontrollably.

However, with this slap, it pierced the hornet's nest. When the nether wolves saw that their companions had been knocked down, they all became furious and continuously pounced towards Yang Li.

Light flashed and shadows flashed. Yang Li wanted to rely on his speed to escape from this pack of nether wolves, but it was unknown when tens of nether wolves had already circled behind him and pounced on him.

For a time, Yang Li fell into an extremely dangerous situation. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

As for the fog in the forest, it was slowly dispersing. Yang Li noticed a large tree to his right from the corner of his eyes and was overjoyed. He rushed to the right and leaned against a large tree.

"Flame Destroying Sky!" A large amount of flames surged out from Yang Li's spear, burning the ground around Yang Li. The flames also spread onto the body of the Dark Wolf that was pouncing towards him.

"Explode!" Many of the nether wolves' bodies had exploded, but only a few had died. However, even more nether wolves had pounced towards him with vicious eyes.

"Aooo!" Another mournful howl rang out, and the nether wolves that had been charging towards Yang Li slowly retreated, forming a semicircle and surrounding Yang Li.

The wolves had just formed an encirclement when Yang Li's left and right Dark Wolf pounced towards him.

"Divine Flames Shrouding the Heavens!" Yang Li's mind tightened as he sent out a Divine Flame Burst into the sky, blocking the nether wolf on the right. He then sent another Flame Void in all directions to attack the nether wolf on the right.

"Aooo!" At the command of the Wolf King, the Dark Wolf that was at Yang Li's front also rushed over.

"Haha!" Come on! Isn't it just a group of useless wolves? " Yang Li's eyes emitted a brilliant light, his eyes filled with determination. Even if he were to face three enemies at once, he still wouldn't be able to defeat Yang Li's fighting spirit.

"Nirvana Flames!" He used the fifth move of the Flame God Spear Art, which he had never used before, to attack the Dark Wolf in front of him.

An extremely bright stream of flames quickly flew through the air, piercing through the group of Dark Wolves in front of them.

"Explode!" No matter which direction they were in, the nether wolves that were infected by Yang Li's spirit energy and flames wailed out and fell to the ground.

Some of the nether wolves that were severely injured even died, but there were still many of them that pounced towards him.

Yang Li's upper body's defensive array also flashed with light, blocking many of the nether wolves' attacks.

However, as he used one technique, Yang Li's nether wolves were constantly killed, and his spiritual energy was gradually reaching its limit.

"Qi Replenishing Pill!" Yang Li suddenly thought of something. He hastily took out a Qi Replenishing Pill from his spatial ring and swallowed it.

Pills that could be used in the Spirit Integration realm would naturally be able to instantly replenish his Spiritual Qi.

Feeling the Spiritual Energy in his body being replenished once again, Yang Li became much more excited. He once again charged fiercely with the essence of dragons and tigers towards the nether wolves.

Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, six hours had passed. Yang Li had completely used up all of his Qi Replenishing Pills.

The circular space had long since collapsed. Yang Li's entire body was covered with wounds, and he was completely exhausted.

Within a radius of tens of meters, there were hundreds of corpses of nether wolves. Their blood dyed the ground red, but there were still a lot of nether wolves around him. They bared their teeth as they pounced towards him.

"I don't believe that I will die here! He had only achieved what he had achieved in five years! I will definitely not die here! " Yang Li's eyes were filled with unyielding determination.

Suddenly, the spear in his hand moved, and Feng'er's sweet voice appeared in his mind.

"Master, this time, I might have to sleep for a very, very long time. You have to protect yourself."

"Feng Er?" Yang Li was shocked.

The supine Phoenix Spear in his hand suddenly escaped his control. Crimson red light blossomed, and its aura slowly grew stronger. The aura it exuded caused even Yang Li to be extremely shocked.

The Dark Wolf, who had originally been fearlessly charging towards him, seemed to have seen something terrifying and could not help but retreat.

After accumulating his potential, the Lying Phoenix Spear suddenly erupted as a stream of transparent flames sprayed out. When the flames came into contact with the nether wolf, the light in the nether wolf's eyes dimmed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Burning the soul! The fire shot out from the spear had impressively burnt all of the souls of the nether wolves.

For a moment, all the nether wolves within three miles of Yang Li fell to the ground. Only one nether wolf with blood-red eyes remained standing. It was the Nether Wolf King.

And after the Phoenix Spear erupted, the light completely dimmed, falling to Yang Li's side.

When Yang Li held it in his hand, he could feel that the spear spirit that was originally extremely cute and sweet as if it called him master had disappeared. Its body was no longer as warm as jade, leaving behind an icy cold atmosphere that stimulated his palms.

Yang Li was stunned. He felt extremely sad. Although Feng'er hadn't communicated with him often, he could feel that Feng'er truly and sincerely treated him well.

After entering the sect for over five years, Feng'er was the only one who made him feel warmth. Although it was only a spear spirit, it still gave him a warm feeling.

But now, even this warmth had vanished. A sorrowful aura burst forth from Yang Li's body. He stood there, dazed.

After an unknown amount of time, the Nether Wolf King slowly walked towards Yang Li. Yang Li raised his head and looked at it. His eyes were bloodshot and the aura of the eighth layer of Qi storage gushed out from his body.

This was a breakthrough after a long battle, but Yang Li wasn't the least bit happy. He only had anger in his heart.

The only thing he wanted to do now was to kill this wolf!

"Nirvana Flames!" Although the spirit of the spear was gone, the spear could still be used.

The line of fire charged towards the Wolf King, but it was too late for the Wolf King to evade and it was struck on its body.

However, it didn't cause too much damage to him. It only left a hole in his body. It didn't even cause any damage to the unknown energy of the Flame God Incantation.

Yang Li paid no heed to them. The flame dragon soared into the sky, the flame dragon spread out in all directions, and its divine flames pierced through the skies. The Flaming Heaven Flames, Nirvana Flames, all blasted towards the Wolf King without a care for the depletion of its spirit energy.

He did not care about the Wolf King's attack, he only wanted to kill this wolf!

Finally, the Wolf King fell. Having lost his wolf pack, even though he was at the middle third-level, his combat strength was still weaker than Yang Li's, who was at the Tempered Blood realm.

As for Yang Li, he did not stop attacking even after the Wolf King fell. He only stopped after all of the spirit energy in his body had been exhausted.

He sat down on the ground in a daze.
