This is strange. I have no physical form, so it must be a spirit or a ghost. But how could such a spirit hide within an array?
"What are you? How did you end up hiding within the formation?"
Chen Ping asked the spirit monster!
"Little cultivator, you dare question me? Since you have entered my formation, you shall leave your life behind."

Chen Ping let out a cold snort and slashed back with his sword!
Facing the apparition, Chen Ping didn't waste any words. He knew that only by killing this apparition could the formation be broken!
The monster, seeing this, opened its mouth wide, and a beam of fire shot straight towards Chen Ping!
Chen Ping waved his hand and extinguished the flames!
While Chen Ping's sword had already been swung towards the spirit monster!
Ke Ling, being ethereal and incorporeal, dodged Chen Ping's sword strike. As a spirit, the blade caused him no harm!
Chen Ping, seeing this, gently waved the Zhanlong Sword in his hand, and in an instant, it burst into flames!
"Since you're a spirit, physical harm means nothing to you. Then how about tasting this inferno!"
Chen Ping wielded his Dragon Slaying Sword, the fiery crow on its blade transforming into a fire dragon that shot straight towards the spirit monster!
The Fire Spirit, seeing this, suddenly clapped its hands, and several streaks of crimson flames surged out from the surrounding chaos, colliding with Chen Ping's fire dragon!
Boom!
A violent surge of energy rippled outward, distorting the surrounding chaos and absorbing the very essence of that fluctuation!
Chen Ping was taken aback. He didn't expect this formation to be able to absorb Qi, it was too peculiar!
The apparition wasn't fazed. With another wave of its hands, five crimson flames shot towards Chen Ping!
The air trembles, and the void emits a mournful wail!
Five crimson flames burned fiercely, but Chen Ping merely smiled calmly, unmoving!
“You're too arrogant...”
The apparition saw that Chen Ping didn't dodge or evade, so it snorted coldly!
Chen Ping still wore a faint smile, even when those crimson flames hit him. Chen Ping remained completely motionless!

However, the fire-element primordial stars within the source space began to flicker incessantly, forming a powerful suction force within Chen Ping's body.
Five crimson flames struck Chen Ping, quickly absorbed and refined by his fire-based origin star into origin power.
Not only did it not harm Chen Ping, but it was quickly absorbed by him!
The spirits who witnessed this scene were quite puzzled, but soon spoke: "I didn't expect you, a young cultivator, to have comprehended the fire element essence. However, I want to see how much celestial fire you can absorb!"
As the spirit finished speaking, it flailed its hands about wildly, as if performing a ritual.
Then the surrounding chaos began to churn, like a raging storm, and from within the chaos surged forth a multitude of flames!
The flames instantly engulfed Chen Ping, the raging fire like a tidal wave surging into the sky!
Throughout the entire chaos, flames engulfed everything. The spirit monster was also within the flames, emitting piercing laughter!
"Let's see how much you can absorb..."
The spirit laughed mockingly!
The raging flames, emitting intense heat, can melt anything!
The apparition was engulfed in flames, hovering in mid-air!
“This endless flame, even if you've comprehended the fire element origin, you can't hope to absorb it all…”
The monster's mouth curled into a sneer.
Under this flame, all things perish, let alone a small cultivator like Chen Ping!
The flame grew smaller and smaller, until Chen Ping's figure disappeared!
Within the chaotic space of the formation, only the spirits were smiling proudly!
But soon, a voice made the spirit monster's smile freeze on its face!
"Aren't you laughing a little too soon?"
Chen Ping slowly said behind that eerie spirit!
The apparition turned around, and was startled to see Chen Ping standing completely unharmed behind him. There wasn't a trace of burns anywhere!
