"Brother, is this the effect of the 'Eternal Spiral Labyrinth'? It's a truly remarkable feat. The magic not only distorts space but further alters 'principles' and 'history,' rendering all living beings unaware of the changes until their souls are gradually consumed by the altered 'principles.'" Despite her youth, Jin Luosha was a master of magic. Although she had not delved deeply into dark magic, it was not difficult for her to discern its intricacies.

Chen Xuanfeng nodded, "Of course, dark magic doesn't have super spells like the 'Great Resurrection Spell,' but it can still rival light magic and divine magic. Naturally, it's not just about squandering magical power. However, when it comes to marvels, the legendary 'Great Prophecy' is truly a divine miracle that leaves one in awe. These dark magics are far from comparable."

"Hmm, but that spell is too ethereal. Even with the six-winged Seraphim mark of 'Sigarette,' I still can't grasp its mysteries." At this, the young girl couldn't help but feel a bit disheartened. Not being able to master the "Great Prophecy" meant she couldn't oppose the Pope of the Radiant Temple, and thus couldn't help her brother, which truly disheartened her.

Seeing the girl's expression, Chen Xuanfeng gently patted her shoulder and smiled, "Don't sweat the small stuff. Otherwise, when the Pope of the Radiant Temple finds out that you mastered two ultimate divine spells at the age of thirteen, wouldn't he die of frustration? Alright, quickly go hide at the 'Kan Water Rest Gate.' When I engage Hein, it will surely cause a great fire. Don't get hurt."

"Alright." The girl herself had learned the martial arts of the eccentric Huang Yaoshi. Since the master of Peach Blossom Island, known as the "Eastern Heretic," had derived all his power from the innate Book of Changes, the girl was no stranger to these formations and calculations. Coupled with her own achievements in magic, she quickly recognized the direction, and her figure flickered and vanished into the shifting space.

"Good, then next, it's time to play your requiem, young 'Red Sun Knight.'" Chen Xuanfeng waited until the girl found her hiding spot and finally unleashed the full power of the "Eternal Spiral Labyrinth." In an instant, countless spaces were continuously cut and reorganized. The entire military town was reshaped and transformed by the werewolf lord, guided by the innate Book of Changes, and in an instant, it was utterly transformed. The original town buildings, people, and livestock vanished into nothingness before they could realize it. The space was filled with clouds and mist one moment, and turned into endless yellow sand the next. Except for the two places where Chen Xuanfeng and Jin Luosha were, the entire space had become a realm of destruction.

"Who dares to ambush me—" By now, even in his injured and dulled state, Hein sensed the changes. Wrapped in flames, he rushed out from his hidden healing place. The power of the Holy Domain was enough to interfere with space, preventing the chaotic forces of the "Eternal Spiral Labyrinth" from tearing him apart.

"Hein, for the countless desert spirits who died unjustly at your hands, today I, Du Xifa, swear to kill you here!" Although the prey had fallen into the trap, Chen Xuanfeng, who knew the unpredictability of the world, still did not reveal his identity and true purpose. Shouting the slogans of a righteous avenger, he immediately unleashed a barrage of powerful dark magic bullets.

"So it's you, that meddlesome mage. How utterly foolish! Do you think you can stand against me without the support of that rebel protector, Carol?" Swinging his flaming blade to cut through the magic bullets, Hein also recognized the attacker's identity, which only fueled his rage. Although a young tenth-level dark mage was rare, when had Holy Domain experts fallen to the point of being hunted by mages?

However, despite the "Red Sun Knight's" furious rage, he couldn't immediately kill and incinerate this detestable provocateur. The reason, of course, lay in the space that shifted according to Chen Xuanfeng's will.

"Space Shift—Feral Thunder Fang Cannon—"

"Space Shift—Dark Heavy Metal Wave—"

"Space Shift—Dragon Hunting Spear—"

Without using martial arts, Chen Xuanfeng relied solely on his control over space, freely moving through countless space modules, pouring various powerful high-level dark attack magics towards Hein, and then escaping to other places whenever the enemy counterattacked. For a moment, he actually gained the upper hand. Though these spells were either dodged or failed to breach the enemy's protective aura, they were more than enough to make the young "Red Sun Knight" look disheveled.

"Heh, fool, what skills do you have besides squandering the power given to you to bully the weak? Could it be that you're helpless against mere spatial magic?" While attacking, Chen Xuanfeng also taunted his opponent, seemingly determined to infuriate him to death.

"Ahhh—damnable insect, don't think you can fool a Holy Domain expert with a couple of second-rate spells. Myriad Flaming Blades, go—" Wounded and enraged, Hein completely lost his composure and finally unleashed the full power of his Holy Domain. Ignoring the dozens of bloody wounds that burst open on his body under the impact of the power, with blood evaporating into smoke, he desperately fueled his flaming aura, causing countless flaming blades to radiate from him like the sun, piercing through even the spatial blocks.

The "Eternal Spiral Labyrinth" was, after all, not the "Great Prophecy." Its power to invert space always came from the clever manipulation of dark magic. Faced with the more concentrated and powerful Holy Domain aura, it inevitably slowed down, revealing some flaws. After all, although this tenth-level dark magic was known as a "Holy Domain-type" magic, it only provided a favorable battlefield for experts below the Sword Saint level to challenge higher levels. Expecting a mage to overpower a Sword Saint with this magic alone was unrealistic.

This momentary flaw, though not enough for Hein to break out of the formation, was sufficient for him to lock onto Chen Xuanfeng's position. As soon as he saw his opponent's figure, the enraged "Red Sun Knight" immediately charged forward with his sword. In his mind, as long as he could get close to this detestable mage, killing him would be no problem.
