Xiao Fei's cultivation of the nameless technique was of the same origin and root as the other seven individuals and the mother technique operated by Yi Mu Xian Jun.
After he mended some flaws in the technique, he not only prevented the infiltration of Yi Mu Xian Jun's power but also had his own strength mixed with the power output by the others, thereby stealing their primal essence.
Initially, his body was too weak, and the primal essence he could steal was very little. As his strength recovered, the primal essence he could steal increased.
With the large amount of primal essence entering his body, his cultivation, which had just dropped, began to recover.
From the Earth Immortal realm, he quickly returned to the True Immortal realm.
Xiao Fei's actions became increasingly audacious, naturally failing to escape Yi Mu Xian Jun's notice. The latter's eyes turned red, and his beard stood on end.
"Stop!"
"If you don't stop, I will extract your soul and refine your spirit, making you wish you were dead!"
Yi Mu Xian Jun still had to operate the mother technique and simultaneously control the subordinate techniques within the other seven individuals to extract primal essence, leaving him unable to act. He could only resort to threats.
However, Xiao Fei, with the mentality of a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, paid no heed to his threats and desperately continued to seize primal essence.
His strength had already recovered to the True Immortal realm, and anything he seized now was pure gain.
Finally, the primal essence of the seven True Immortals was completely depleted under their struggle.
The seven individuals lay on the ground, on the verge of death, their eyes filled with despair and unwillingness, resentment and malice…
Now, only Xiao Fei and Yi Mu Xian Jun remained standing in the hall.
Yi Mu Xian Jun's eyes, as he looked at Xiao Fei, were also filled with malice.
Having absorbed so much of his primal essence, it would be a waste to let him die in vain.
"What you took from me, spit it all out now!"
Yi Mu Xian Jun operated the mother technique again, splitting eight streams of power from his body and surging towards Xiao Fei from all directions.
Xiao Fei had only managed to mend the nameless technique a little. Under the impact of these eight streams of power, it instantly collapsed.
Soon, the nameless technique within his body lost control again, and the initiative of his body fell back into Yi Mu Xian Jun's hands.
The primal essence he had painstakingly stolen flowed out again, and his cultivation realm rapidly declined.
Seeing his primal essence rapidly draining, Xiao Fei realized that if this continued for another quarter of an hour, he would suffer the same fate as the other seven.
Although this was only one of his clones, he now had only two left, and he truly did not want to die.
A strong desire for survival forced him to think quickly of a countermeasure.
With this flawed nameless technique, he could not possibly contend with Yi Mu Xian Jun.
However, he still had his main cultivation technique, "Hun Yuan Gong." He didn't know if it would be useful, but he had to try.
With his last hope, Xiao Fei began to circulate his main cultivation technique, "Hun Yuan Gong."
His "Hun Yuan Gong" cultivated the five elements simultaneously, forming a balanced system of its own, far superior to ordinary single-element cultivation techniques.
Yi Mu Xian Jun's technique was of the wood element. Metal overcomes wood. Instantly, all the immortal power within Xiao Fei transformed into a stream of metal-elemental power, surging towards the wood-elemental power that had infiltrated his body.
Yi Mu Xian Jun's wood-elemental power, while dealing with his cultivation of the nameless technique, had seemed formidable, possessing an invincible aura.
But the moment it came into contact with Xiao Fei's Hun Yuan Gong's metal-elemental immortal power, it immediately crumbled and was forced to retreat from Xiao Fei's body.
"Hahaha… you old dried-up reed, you're just a flashy but useless fellow!"
Even with the advantage of metal overcoming wood in the five elements, Yi Mu Xian Jun still seemed too weak, which was unbecoming of his status as an Immortal Lord.
Xiao Fei was currently only at the True Immortal realm, with a gap of a hundred thousand miles separating him from an Immortal Lord.
Normally, a True Immortal would be like an ant before an Immortal Lord, easily crushed with a single finger.
Even with all the advantages Xiao Fei possessed, they would be useless before an Immortal Lord. His actions just now were merely a struggle before death.
He hadn't expected Yi Mu Xian Jun to be all show and no substance.
After repelling the wood-elemental power that had infiltrated his body, Xiao Fei pressed his advantage, forming a golden blade of metal-elemental power and slashing towards Yi Mu Xian Jun.
"Boom!"
The ground suddenly bulged upwards, forming a wooden wall that blocked in front of Yi Mu Xian Jun, easily deflecting Xiao Fei's full-power attack.
"Hmph! Although my condition is not good, you are still no match for me."
As Yi Mu Xian Jun spoke, countless wooden spikes appeared on all four walls of the hall.
"Whoosh!"
Instantly, these countless wooden spikes shot towards Xiao Fei from all directions, leaving no room for evasion or maneuver.
Seeing this, Xiao Fei activated his spatial laws, and a faint light screen enveloped him.
As the countless wooden spikes shot towards him, they were frozen in mid-air upon entering this light screen, unable to advance further.
"I recall now, you are that genius who has comprehended the laws of space and the five elements."
Upon seeing Xiao Fei use spatial laws, Yi Mu Xian Jun finally remembered such a figure who had appeared at the previous Genius Exchange Conference.
"It's a pity that your strength is too weak. No matter how much of a genius you are, it's useless."
As Yi Mu Xian Jun spoke, dense wooden spikes reappeared in the walls surrounding the hall, once again shooting towards Xiao Fei.
"What about spatial laws? Absolute power breaks all techniques!"
As these wooden spikes were blocked by spatial laws, large beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
But it wasn't over yet. Countless wooden spikes reappeared on the walls surrounding the hall, piercing towards Xiao Fei in wave after wave.
Although spatial laws were known as one of the most powerful laws, due to Xiao Fei's weak strength, the pressure he could withstand had a limit.
Xiao Fei felt it increasingly difficult to hold on. His immortal power had long been depleted, and he was now purely relying on his primal essence to support himself.
Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the green sphere in the center of the hall.
He didn't know what this sphere was, but all the immortal power that had been input earlier, as well as the primal essence of the other seven individuals, had all entered this sphere.
"Ah!"
With a roar, using all his strength, he forcibly operated his spatial laws. The light screen around his body suddenly expanded, drawing the green sphere into it.
Success or failure hinged on this single move. If this sphere could not be used by him, then only death awaited him.
"Insolent child! How dare you!"
Yi Mu Xian Jun was furious at this and was about to step forward to snatch it.
"Hahaha…"
Seeing Yi Mu Xian Jun's urgency, Xiao Fei guessed that his gamble had most likely paid off.
His spiritual sense had already penetrated into the green sphere.
He felt that this sphere contained a rich vitality, seeming to be a living entity.
Inside the sphere, he discovered a large amount of primal essence. Besides the primal essence that had just been absorbed and had not yet been digested, it should also contain the primal essence of many others.
At this moment, he once again used his wood-elemental technique to begin absorbing the primal essence within the sphere.
With the replenishment of this primal essence, Xiao Fei's aura soared.
