Chapter 898: Rebellion (2)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Sixth Demonic Body stabilized in midair and, through the spatial portal, cast a cold, unfeeling gaze at its original self.

The original self had not made another move after being thrown, thus the duel effect had not been triggered.

There was a slight fluctuation in the fundamental energies between the Sixth Demonic Body and the original self, but it had not forcibly flattened out.

The Sixth Demonic Body took a deep breath and turned to look behind.

The original self blocked the end of the spatial portal, making it impossible for the Sixth Demonic Body to return.

As the Sixth Demonic Body appeared on this side, a blood-red, fleshy eyeball emerged.

The power of the distorted illusion applied to the Sixth Demonic Body, but it had no effect whatsoever.

Although the fleshy eyeball was powerful, relying solely on illusionary power, it could no longer deceive the current Demonic Body.

A faint light flickered in the Sixth Demonic Body’s forehead as it gazed into the distance.

Compared to the pervasive deathly aura from before, the heaven and earth’s vital energy here had significantly improved. In its view, the Sixth Demonic Body saw several more fleshy eyeb.a.l.l.s.

However, compared to the hundreds of fleshy eyeb.a.l.l.s from before, there were now only seven in total, and all were at the early stage of the fifth rank.

The Sixth Demonic Body scanned the surroundings and focused on the southeast corner.

While other areas were covered by countless spatial storms, the southeast corner had a ma.s.sive gap, as if someone had removed a corner of a formation.

“Has anyone else been here recently?”

The Sixth Demonic Body noticed that the place where the previous avatar had taken the Void Wood now had only a vast, barren land where there had previously been ruins.

Only the decayed corpses of worms lay sprawling there.

“Were the previous fleshy eyeb.a.l.l.s killed by someone, or did they leave voluntarily?”

With so little information, the Sixth Demonic Body couldn’t determine exactly what had happened here.

Seeing that the fleshy eyeb.a.l.l.s could not deceive the Sixth Demonic Body, countless threads of blood surged towards it.

The Sixth Demonic Body shouted lowly, and the Dust Giant Body appeared behind it. The next moment, the gigantic Dust Law Sword slashed at the fleshy eyeball.

“Boom!”

The mountain trembled slightly before returning to calm.

If this had been the Boundless Sea, the s.p.a.ce would have shattered with that sword strike.

But here, the s.p.a.ce didn’t even ripple, and the Leaving Dust Sword didn’t strike the fleshy eyeball but pa.s.sed straight through, hitting the rocks on the ground.

It was as if these fleshy eyeb.a.l.l.s were mere illusions without any substance.

“Zhiz!”

The blood threads touched the Dust Giant Body, emitting a corrosive sound. The Sixth Demonic Body’s vital energy and soul were rapidly consumed.

In the blink of an eye, thirty percent of the Sixth Demonic Body’s vital energy and soul had vanished.

“Return!”

As the Sixth Demonic Body was about to move, the original self’s voice echoed in its mind.

Although moving here had become extremely difficult and the distance significantly reduced, traveling a dozen miles was still feasible.

Otherwise, enduring the attacks of the fleshy eyeb.a.l.l.s would quickly deplete its vital energy and soul.

The Sixth Demonic Body glanced at the fleshy eyeball, then turned and dashed back to the spatial portal. The next moment, the portal vanished, leaving no trace behind.

At the Corpse Cliff Mountain, the Sixth Demonic Body emerged from the spatial portal, looking at the original self with its fists slowly clenching.

Chen Fei did not look at the Sixth Demonic Body but focused on the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele in front of him.

On the other side of the spatial portal, there must have been a sect. Those fifth­rank fleshy eyeb.a.l.l.s could not come through the stone tablet’s spatial portal, but pract.i.tioners of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant could use this portal even at the fifth rank.

It was clear that this had been deliberately set up.

The sect on that mountain peak had likely not been destroyed by the fleshy eyeb.a.l.l.s. It was also possible that truly powerful anomalies had already left, leaving only the lesser ones behind.

Moreover, even the lesser anomalies now numbered only seven.

The Heart of Sincerity indicated that this was not a dead end. With Chen Fei’s current strength, there was a slim chance of escaping.

Of course, it was only a slim chance.

Seven fifth-rank early-stage fleshy eyeb.a.l.l.s were still difficult for Chen Fei to handle.

“Go!”

Chen Fei restored the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele to its original state, activated the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, easily lifted the entire tablet, and placed it into the Concealment Bell. He erased all traces of its presence, then broke through s.p.a.ce and left the Corpse Cliff Mountain.

Fifteen minutes after Chen Fei’s departure, several figures appeared at Corpse Cliff Mountain, frowning as they observed the calm s.p.a.ce around them.

Half a day later, Chen Fei arrived at the location of the former Thousand Feathers Alliance altar.

The altar had long been destroyed. Chen Fei came not for the altar but to leave the Boundless Sea and return to the previous Immortal Cloud City.

The threat warned by the Heart of Sincerity was intensifying. Chen Fei needed to find a place to cultivate and give himself time to break through to the Sun Moon Realm.

There was no place more suitable than the previous Immortal Cloud City territory.

The spatial portal connecting the Thousand Feathers Alliance to Immortal Cloud City had also disappeared with the destruction of the altar.

However, still within the Boundless Sea plane, Chen Fei quickly located his position and directly broke through s.p.a.ce to arrive in Immortal Cloud City’s territory.

The spiritual energy in the heaven and earth had become sluggish. Chen Fei floated in the air, observing his surroundings.

This previously sealed area did not hold any great secrets.

It was merely a result of the Boundless Sea plane shrinking, with problems appearing first in the peripheral regions, leading to spatial barriers here.

However, these barriers were quite fragile. A pract.i.tioner at the Sun Moon Realm could easily break through them. With Chen Fei’s current power, he could directly pierce through the s.p.a.ce and return.

Chen Fei moved slightly and arrived above Immortal Cloud City.

Within the Profound Heavenly Ring, the figures of Qu Qingsheng and others appeared one by one, looking at Immortal Cloud City below and the distant former sects with nostalgic eyes.

Decades had pa.s.sed, and the forces here had changed several times. The names of sects like the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect and the Primordial Sword Sect were now almost forgotten, belonging to a bygone era.

In the Sacred City of Middle Continent.

“Boom!”

A ma.s.sive roar erupted in the central hall. The Sacred Master of the Stellar Sacred Land, Zhan Xuming, was sent flying, blood trickling from his mouth.

“Surrender and come with me to the Return to Nothing Realm’s Sky Sea City to atone for your crimes. I can guarantee your safety!”

Nie Shengyun looked down from above, commanding in a low voice. “But if you stubbornly resist and attempt to defy orders, I will kill you on the spot, and no one will dare to say anything!”

“You accuse my Stellar Sect’s ancestors of betraying humanity. Even if it’s true, what fault do we, the disciples in the Boundless Sea, have?” Zhan Xuming shouted, turning to look at the Sun Moon Realm experts from other sacred lands.

“Whether there is fault or not is not up to you to decide. Sky Sea City will make the final judgment!” Nie Shengyun shook his head.

The Stellar Sect’s ancestors’ betrayal of Sky Sea City had not been intended to capture the Stellar Sect disciples in the Boundless Sea. However, that sect’s ancestor had taken a supreme treasure from Sky Sea City.

Ordinary treasures might be forgone, but the power of that supreme treasure was extraordinary, and many were reluctant to abandon it.

With no way to capture the individual directly and having come to the Boundless Sea by chance, they could only use the Stellar Sect’s disciples as anchors and employ secret methods to lock onto them.

The Boundless Sea was in a period of decline, but refining treasures was still possible. Sky Sea City wanted that treasure.

Those stuck at the mid-level of the fifth rank in the Boundless Sea might very well advance to the late stage of the fifth rank or even reach the peak of the fifth rank in the future. Sky Sea City wanted those combat abilities as well.

Three birds with one stone—why not?

As for having the Stellar Sect’s people actively cooperate in capturing their own ancestor, many would be unwilling.

In that case, it would be simpler to directly detain them and bring them back to Sky Sea City!
