Chapter 601: Shackles

Translator. Dragon Boat Translation | Editor. Dragon Boat Translation

It was probably these three chances of descending the mountain that had somewhat tainted Chen Fei with the aura of the Black Divine. Although not obvious, it still made the seal feel that Chen Fei had a deep connection with the Black Divine.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the entire black mist started to tremble violently, and Chen Fei found his strength restored somewhat.

Chen Fei’s eyes brightened slightly, it was those from the Mountain Sea Realm tearing apart the Black Divine Domain. Regardless of whether these individuals came to strengthen the seal or to save the Black Divine.

This method of tearing the outer layer of the Black Divine Domain was inadvertently damaging the integrity of the entire seal. And once battles occur within the Black Divine Domain involving the Mountain Sea Realm, the destruction to the seal would only be greater due to the power of the Mountain

Sea Realm.

“So, as long as I wait a little longer, I might be able to take advantage of the weakened seal and leave here?”

A thought popped into Chen Fei’s mind, and as the black mist continued to tremble, Chen Fei indeed felt the shackles attached to him weakening.

Not only Chen Fei, but also those who were continuously searching for an exit, stopped one after another, feeling the seal on their bodies lightening.

It’s just that compared to Chen Fei, they still had things exchanged from the

Black Divine, so the weakening of the seal on them was minimal.

“Hum!”

Ripples appeared in the black mist not far away, and another group of people were teleported over. Chen Fei glanced at them, his brows furrowing slightly.

He had initially thought it was just like before, other martial artists wanting to leave the Black Divine Domain, but looking at the patterns on their foreheads, all of them were members of the Black Divine Sect, numbering dozens.

Others also looked over, their eyes filled with confusion.

The purpose of these members of the Black Divine Sect had always been to

serve the Black Divine, and now that the Black Divine Domain was under attack, how could these people appear here?

“Kill!”

Gong Shiyan looked around, lowly shouting, and his figure had already shot

out, a murderous intent spreading in an instant.

“Chi!”

The sound of a blade slicing through the neck rang out, and a martial artist fell, clutching his neck, his eyes filled with unwillingness. He was too close to the members of the Black Divine Sect.

Although there was some vigilance in his heart, he did not expect the members

of the Black Divine Sect to kill so ruthlessly, without any warning.

All members of the Black Divine Sect practiced soul secret techniques, which gave them a significant advantage over others who were completely sealed. As long as the secret technique hit, and one hesitated for a moment, in this kind of battle, it meant life or death.

Seeing the Black Divine Sect killing, the surrounding people were in an uproar.

They all understood the power of the Black Divine Sect’s soul secret techniques; ordinary people were simply not their match.

Everyone scattered, then regrouped together.

This tactic was quite effective; in situations where everyone had ordinary physical abilities, the advantage of numbers would manifest, but the advantage of the Black Divine Sect was even greater.

Knowing the secret techniques was like fighting an uphill battle. Only those like Xiang Qianling, who also knew soul secret techniques, could withstand it.

Once the members of the Black Divine Sect discovered that you also knew soul secret techniques, they would immediately change targets, first killing those who didn’t know the techniques, and then slowly dealing with martial artists like Xiang Qianling.

However, other martial artists were not fools either. Those who could be here were all experts at or above the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Upon seeing the situation, they immediately surrounded those who knew soul secret techniques.

But the actions of the Black Divine Sect were too sudden and decisive. Even though many people reacted, there were still quite a few who were too close and died directly under the blades of the Black Divine Sect members.

Chen Fei stepped back and saw Xiang Qianling. Just as he was about to approach her, he noticed a member of the Black Divine Sect charging towards him.

The location where the Black Divine Sect had been teleported just now was not far from Chen Fei, making him one of the closer targets.

“Whoosh!”

The blade cut through the air, emitting a hissing sound. Chen Fei sidestepped, avoiding the blade, then turned to face the member of the Black Divine Sect. Seeing Chen Fei dodge the attack, Yue Yuankan’s mouth curled with a hint of mockery. The patterns on his forehead trembled slightly, followed by a wave of fluctuations, and then a sword swept towards Chen Fei s neck.

Chen Fei remained composed, raising his sword to stab towards Yue Yuankan’s heart.

“Chi!”

The sound of the blade piercing flesh rang out. Yue Yuankan’s body stiffened involuntarily, and the blade aimed at Chen Fei’s neck paused in mid-air.

Yue Yuankan instinctively looked down at his chest, where blood was now flowing continuously.

His lips trembled slightly as if he wanted to speak, but Chen Fei withdrew the Qianyuan Sword. Yue Yuankan lost all strength and fell backward, his eyes filled with unwillingness and disbelief.

If Chen Fei had used soul secret techniques to counter, Yue Yuankan wouldn’t have been surprised. But the fact that Chen Fei directly resisted his technique without any signs of using soul secret techniques was unexpected.

Moreover, the speed of the blade in Chen Fei’s hand was even faster than his, which was not at all characteristic of someone who was sealed and should have a slower reaction time.

Yue Yuankan’s fall made all the members of the Black Divine Sect turn their heads towards Chen Fei. He was the first member of the Black Divine Sect to die, and his death was too swift and decisive.

“Die!”

Three nearby members of the Black Divine Sect abandoned the others and rushed towards Chen Fei. Three consecutive soul secret techniques were aimed at him, but Chen Fei’s expression remained unchanged.

All power needs a foundation to truly unleash its potential. With an ordinary person’s body, soul secret techniques would only have a good effect against ordinary people. At this moment, Chen Fei could already use a portion of his elemental power because of the weakened seal.

At this point, Chen Fei couldn’t be considered an ordinary person anymore, so the soul secret techniques of these members of the Black Divine Sect naturally had no effect on him.

“Clang!”

The Qianyuan Sword emitted a sword cry, and the three members of the Black Divine Sect attacking Chen Fei all stiffened, blood spurting from their necks. They stumbled back a few steps and then collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of the others widened involuntarily.

If Chen Fei had only killed one member of the Black Divine Sect, it could be argued that he might possess stronger soul secret techniques, enabling him to retaliate.

But killing three with one stroke couldn’t be explained simply by stronger soul secret techniques. Moreover, because everyone was focusing on Chen Fei, they all noticed that Chen Fei’s sword speed was significantly faster than theirs. With a flesh-and-blood body, there’s a limit to how fast one can wield a sword, even if their techniques are unparalleled.

To achieve the speed Chen Fei just displayed, one must have strength, and possibly the coordination of elemental power, to accomplish it. “Could that friend enlighten us on how to break free?” someone shouted loudly. If there’s elemental power, it means Chen Fei isn’t completely sealed, at least not as thoroughly as others, which gives him a significant advantage in this situation. With elemental power, he might even be able to find a way to truly escape from here.

The faces of the members of the Black Divine Sect all changed. Gong Shiyan stared at Chen Fei; he recognized him. Just a few days ago, he had intended to recruit Chen Fei into the Black Divine Sect.

But now, the man had directly killed four members of the cult, which was unforgivable.

However, their greatest weapon, soul secret techniques, had no effect on Chen Fei, who was apparently just an ordinary person like themselves now. At this moment, it seemed like their numbers had suddenly lost all significance.

“Abandon everything exchanged from the Black Divine Temple, and your seals will weaken,” Chen Fei said solemnly.

Upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, everyone was taken aback. Some began to consider the possibility, their expressions changing slightly.

It was actually a kind of fixed mindset; no one had thought that the Black Divine was actually sealed, and as they spent more time in the Black Divine Domain, their thoughts became more sluggish. Fewer people could think of this.

At this moment, with just one sentence from Chen Fei, many began to realize.

Some began to throw their exchanged items onto the ground, their auras fluctuating as traces of elemental power emerged.

Seeing this change, the surrounding people were filled with astonishment. What Chen Fei said turned out to be true.

Suddenly, many items were scattered in the black mist.

Those who had spent some time in the Black Divine Domain had exchanged items from the Black Divine Temple to varying degrees. After all, they stayed behind for those treasures.

These treasures, hard-won as they were, had now become shackles. It was an extremely ironic situation, but compared to their lives, these people no longer cared about them.

The breaths of each individual began to fluctuate, and the members of the Black Divine Sect turned pale. The aura of the Black Divine had been imprinted on their souls, something they couldn’t shake off no matter what.

Retaliation began, but some individuals had gloomy expressions; they had exchanged for special abilities.

Unlike items that could be discarded at will, these abilities engraved in their bodies were difficult to eradicate. And the price they had paid for these abilities was extremely heavy.

The members of the Black Divine Sect began to flee towards the depths of the black mist, while those who had partially regained their strength chased after them.

Chen Fei didn’t go on a killing spree; instead, he silently walked through the black mist, occasionally picking up items from the ground and putting them into his spatial bag. All of these were the exchanged items abandoned by those people just now.

However, in this area of black mist, these exchanged items would gradually be swallowed up. Chen Fei only managed to take a dozen or so pills, while the other items were devoured by the black mist.

Because he had taken these exchanged items, the fluctuations of elemental power on Chen Fei’s body were sealed again, leaving many people looking at him with confusion.

Chen Fei ran to another location, summoned the pill furnace from his spatial grid, then threw all the pills into it before putting the furnace back into the grid.

The wails of the Black Divine Sect members echoed incessantly, but soon they gradually quieted down. There were quite a few of them, but when it came to killing, especially when facing martial artists with elemental power, it was actually quite fast.

“Boom!”

Outside the black mist, another loud explosion rang out, and the frequency of the entire black mist’s vibrations reached its peak. The shackles of the seals on their bodies disappeared instantly, and Chen Fei felt a force of displacement descending upon him.

Chen Fei didn’t resist, and in a moment of dizziness, his surroundings suddenly brightened.

Opening his eyes, Chen Fei found himself underwater, not far from the Black Divine’s cave as before.

The power of the mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm reappeared in his body, and Chen Fei couldn’t help but clench his fists. Suddenly, ripples appeared not far away, and two figures emerged: Chen Daoheng and Huang Yuheng from the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.

Chen Fei glanced at the two of them, then turned and flew off into the distance. Seeing Chen Fei, Chen Daoheng recalled Chen Fei picking up the exchanged items discarded by others just now, his eyes narrowing slightly as greed surged

in his heart..
