As the Silver Horn cultivator stormed into Xiao Fei's world to plunder its flora, Xiao Fei, wielding his greatly empowered crimson gourd, appeared.
Aiming the crimson gourd at the Silver Horn Golden Immortals one by one, he unleashed beams of silver light. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, they flew and fell into the crimson gourd.
The remaining Silver Horn cultivators dared not linger in this realm and fled back.
Xiao Fei, holding the crimson gourd, wreaked havoc, pursuing and capturing anyone he encountered, one by one, two by two.
He chased them all the way to the entrance where the two worlds met.
Here, the Silver Horn cultivators became much more united. Realizing the formidable nature of the crimson gourd in Xiao Fei's hand, they quickly shielded their red-eyed leader in their midst.
Facing the combined might of several Supreme experts, Xiao Fei knew he could not succeed and had to temporarily cease his attack.
Thus, the two fronts of powerful enemies he faced were finally repelled, allowing him to catch his breath.
The pressure in the early stages of this battle had been immense, and the fight had been arduous, but the gains were also substantial.
The gourd in his hand had captured at least sixty to seventy Golden Immortals, along with two Supreme experts.
The blood essence produced from refining these powerful beings would allow his Jianmu world to grow significantly.
More importantly, the refinement of these Golden Immortals and Supreme experts could strip them of their Great Daos, causing them to manifest as Dao Enlightenment Fruits on the crystal tree.
With the Dao Enlightenment Fruits obtained from this battle, he would be able to increase his subordinates by dozens of Golden Immortals, doubling his combat power.
Although the Silver Horn people had retreated, they still retained their combat strength.
Especially the Silver Horn individual on the opposite side, who possessed the Creation Jade Plate and whose eyes were red, constantly thinking of devouring him.
"Shi Xue, stay with me. Everyone else, retreat and rest!"
To deter the Silver Horn people on the opposite side, Xiao Fei did not move far. He directly brought a chair and sat at the nexus of the two worlds.
The gourd, now colored crimson, floated in the air, slowly rotating.
Xiao Fei sat on the chair, his eyes closed, appearing leisurely, but in reality, his teeth were clenched, and his throat moved rhythmically, making swallowing motions.
For at the moment, his internal state was far from calm.
His true Supreme body had self-destructed. This current body had been forcibly elevated from the Golden Immortal realm in a short period.
His true strength was still far from that of a Supreme expert, and numerous hidden ailments remained within him.
He had merely projected an image of strength to intimidate the Silver Horn cultivators, but this had also worsened his injuries.
Simultaneously, he had to suppress the individuals within the crimson gourd with all his might, urging the gourd to refine them as quickly as possible.
The crimson gourd was now packed with various powerful beings, making it crowded.
Since Xiao Fei had acquired this gourd, this was the first time he had taken on such a large "order."
The Three-legged Golden Crow he had previously captured was also not yet refined and was still struggling, attempting to break free from the gourd's confinement.
However, Xiao Fei's self-destruction of his Supreme body had formed a rune net outside the gourd, which was not so easily broken now.
Moreover, the Three-legged Golden Crow's most potent ability was its flame.
But just as he had used this flame to destroy the yellow gourd earlier, Xiao Fei had unexpectedly self-destructed, using his own vital essence and spirit as a catalyst to seal the flame within the gourd.
Now, having lost this flame, its strength had significantly diminished, and its attempts to blast through the gourd's wall were futile.
Xiao Fei sat motionlessly on the chair, outwardly calm, while inwardly adjusting his body, suppressing the large group of people within the gourd, and urging the crimson gourd to accelerate the refinement.
He had to take stock of the number of people in the gourd almost every few breaths.
Fortunately, after absorbing and sealing the flame, the yellow gourd had transformed into a crimson gourd, its power greatly amplified, and its refinement speed had also increased considerably.
Approximately every dozen breaths, one person would disappear from within the gourd, and Xiao Fei's pressure would decrease by a fraction.
At the same time, fierce battles continued to rage in other intersecting worlds.
Almost every spirit of a Creation Jade Plate was influenced by its master, losing its sanity and falling into madness.
In this state, as long as neither side achieved absolute dominance, they would not cease fighting.
As a result, Xiao Fei's side, which was in the most difficult situation, was the first to conclude its battle.
Next was the Guiyi Realm. Emperor Guiyi unleashed his bowl-shaped treasure, his combat power greatly increasing, and he quickly defeated his opponent.
Furthermore, he took advantage of his opponent's erratic state of mind to capture the enemy expert within a beam of light.
The function of his large bowl was somewhat similar to Xiao Fei's yellow gourd; it could also be used to subdue powerful enemies and refine their Great Daos.
After Emperor Guiyi used the large bowl to capture the frenzied enemy, the remaining opponents could only gather at the portal to defend.
The battle in the Guiyi Realm could only be temporarily halted.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Fei and Emperor Guiyi had already experienced prolonged periods of madness and had just recovered from that state.
They both maintained their sanity during this battle, gaining the upper hand and reaping significant benefits.
In fact, among the nine spirits of the Creation Jade Plate this time, besides these two lucky individuals.
There were two other lucky ones who, for similar reasons, defeated their enemies and temporarily ended their battles shortly thereafter.
With the nine worlds colliding, the first round of battles gradually subsided.
The victors began to digest the benefits gained from this battle, while the defeated hid in the shadows, licking their wounds and preparing for the next counterattack.
Xiao Fei sat silently on the chair, motionless, until several months later, when he finally slowly opened his eyes.
All the individuals he had captured in the gourd had been refined.
He was eager to convert these hard-won gains into his own combat power.
At this moment, he raised a hand, and the crimson gourd landed in his palm.
The gourd was now fiery red, covered with a layer of golden patterns, and felt slightly warm to the touch.
He had read about the legend of the Three-legged Golden Crow in ancient texts; it resided within the sun and could wield the True Sun Flame.
The flame he had captured and refined with the yellow gourd this time was likely the True Sun Flame.
After capturing this flame, the yellow gourd had turned crimson, doubling its power and accelerating its refinement speed.
Xiao Fei gently opened the lid of the crimson gourd, and immediately dozens of beams of light flew out, all of which were absorbed into the crystal tree.
After absorbing these beams of light, the crystal tree began to bear fruit on its various branches. These newly grown Dao Enlightenment Fruits matured at an almost visible rate.
Xiao Fei did not have to wait long; the fruits all grew to the size of a fist.
Two of them were particularly large, naturally representing the Great Daos refined from the Supreme-level toad and the Three-legged Golden Crow.
Xiao Fei fetched several jade boxes, picked all the fruits from the tree, placed them into the boxes, and carefully sealed them with talismans.
With war potentially breaking out at any moment, the fruits needed to be consumed quickly and could not be left on the tree.
If someone were to rush in and snatch his fruits, he would have no recourse.
With dozens of Dao Enlightenment Fruits in hand this time, Xiao Fei planned to elevate all his remaining clones to the Golden Immortal realm.
