After collecting the One-Eyed Magic Wolf's corpse from the ground, Lin Chen continued deeper.
Two hours later, Lin Chen's storage space already contained dozens of demon corpses.
"Now that my elementary magic is mature, and One-Thought Star Path is effortless, why do I always feel strange when casting magic? Is it just my imagination?"
With a thought, Lin Chen returned to the Spirit Realm to replenish his magic energy consumption.
An hour later, Lin Chen returned outside the An Boundary and continued fighting.
Three days passed in a flash. For most of these three days, Lin Chen was fighting and meditating, returning to the Spirit Realm to rest when he was tired.
With the existence of the Spirit Realm, there was no need to return for supplies.
These three days also gave Lin Chen a new understanding of his own strength. His Spirit Emperor cultivation made dealing with Commander-level demons easy. Although he hadn't encountered a Commander-level demon, Lin Chen estimated that with his current strength, dealing with newly advanced Commander-level demons would be no problem, but dealing with high-level Commander-level demons would still be a bit difficult.
After becoming ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, Qiu'er and Yin'er's combat power was still very considerable. Commander-level demons were one-claw kills in front of Qiu'er. What surprised Lin Chen was Yin'er; besides possessing extremely strong control abilities, her devouring characteristic even stunned Lin Chen.
Any Servant-level demon controlled by Yin'er would collapse within five seconds, losing all its life force.
Once Yin'er was nurtured, there would be absolutely nothing to fear in group battles!
"Fire Art - Scorch"
As a One-Eyed Magic Wolf died, Lin Chen's face was filled with a conflicted expression.
"I always feel a bit strange when casting my magic. Although it's One-Thought Star Path, why does it always feel like there's a few tenths of a second of lag when casting?"
"What exactly is wrong?"
"Star dust... star dust... mental force... they are all part of me!"
"Myself... myself... yes, it's myself! Spirit is also a part of me!"
His originally confused face suddenly showed a hint of joy, and his starry eyes even gleamed with light.
With a thought, a single thought formed a path, and the star dust lit up.
"Boom..."
The Two-Yin Sword in Lin Chen's right hand was instantly enveloped by scarlet flames.
"Fire Art - Burst"
He gently swung the long sword forward.
"Rumble..."
A dozen-meter wide explosion instantly erupted in front, and a sea of fire covered a ten-meter radius, the raging flames burning fiercely as if trying to consume everything in the world.
"This power... Haha, so that's how it is. Whether it's magic or Spirit, they are inherently mine and can be perfectly fused together."
"When the two are fused, releasing magic energy through the Spirit, the effect is definitely one plus one is greater than two."
Originally, the explosion's range was only five meters, but now not only has the attack range increased, but even the destructive power has increased several times.
After a while, the sea of fire gradually dissipated, leaving only a patch of black ashes on the ground.
With a thought, the star dust lit up again.
"Fire Art - Burst"
The long sword swung again, and a thirty-meter wide explosion instantly erupted in front, a towering scarlet sea of fire burning fiercely.
"Indeed, releasing magic through Spirit allows for controllable power."
An hour later, Lin Chen excitedly returned to the Spirit Realm to recover his magic energy.
After dozens of casts, Lin Chen finally thoroughly researched the method of fusing and releasing magic and Spirit.
The method of releasing magic through Spirit not only solved his problem of lag when casting magic but also increased the basic amplification.
With Lin Chen's current Spirit Emperor cultivation, the highest basic amplification could reach four times. Coupled with the three-time amplification from the spiritual seed, Lin Chen's elementary magic would achieve twelve times the destructive power. Elementary magic reaching the power of Intermediate Mage and even high-level magic – what terrifying power that was.
After recovering his magic energy, Lin Chen did not leave the Spirit Realm but instead found Qian Renxue and began researching the Soul-Magic Fusion method with her.
Half a month passed in a flash. Through their research, they had thoroughly understood the Soul-Magic Fusion method.
The basic power base of magic is one. When released through Spirit, every ten levels can increase the basic power by 0.5 times.
Lin Chen, a Spirit Emperor, possesses a four-times basic amplification.
Qian Renxue, a Spirit King, also has a 3.5-times basic amplification.
Of course, such basic amplification is based on the premise that both possess Divine Spirit. As for other Spirits, it is unknown.
After thoroughly researching, Lin Chen took Qian Renxue and the two beasts out of the Spirit Realm to continue his monster-grinding journey.
Time flew by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Spirit Realm, a massive amount of demon flesh and blood was piled together. Upon closer inspection, besides the flesh and blood, all the tough materials from the demons had disappeared.
The black-silver Two-Yin Sword floated in the air, and the black Chaos Bead glowed faintly. The next moment, a giant black hole appeared in the sky.
The black hole rotated continuously, and upon closer inspection, it gave a chilling sensation.
In a blink of an eye, the demon flesh and blood on the ground floated up, heading towards the giant hole.
As the demon flesh and blood on the ground completely disappeared, the giant hole gradually dissipated.
The black Chaos Bead on the Two-Yin Sword returned to calm, while the white Chaos Bead suddenly lit up at this moment.
"Whoosh la la la..."
One after another, colorful energy crystals broke out of the bead and fell onto the ground.
After a while, the white Chaos Bead returned to calm, and tens of thousands of energy crystals piled up on the ground, forming a dazzling, colorful small hill, looking very splendid.
Qian Renxue looked at all this in shock and slowly said, "So that's where all those energy crystals come from. Your Spirit is truly abnormal!"
Lin Chen smiled slightly, and with a thought, he collected all the energy crystals on the ground into his storage space.
"Sigh... only this much harvest after more than a month of effort!" Lin Chen said faintly.
Qian Renxue glared at Lin Chen, gritting her teeth. In all her life, she had never encountered such a shameless person.
Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Don't look at me like that, it's a bit creepy. I was just being a bit Versailles-like!"
Qian Renxue took a deep breath upon hearing this, trying her best to restrain herself.
Lin Chen laughed, "Alright, alright, I'll stop pretending, okay, dear? Think carefully if there's anything else you need. We're going to the Magic Capital tomorrow!"
Half a month ago, Lin Chen's Summoning系 successfully broke through to Intermediate Mage, and as he expected, a new partner appeared again.
The head of the three great Heavenly Kings of the Far North of Douluo Continent, the Ice and Snow Empress - Snow Emperor.
With the arrival of Snow Emperor, Lin Chen also awakened Ice magic with Extreme Ice Heavenly Seed.
Lin Chen's main purpose for going to the Magic Capital this time was to undergo his Intermediate Mage awakening.
Awakening in Bo City was simply impossible. In half a year, going from an ordinary person who had just awakened magic to an Intermediate Mage, even the Black Vatican couldn't cultivate that fast.
