“Has Thousand-Eyed Ghoul left?” Si Huayuan frowned.
“I sensed something amiss and let it go ahead first,” Tan Bingxiu nodded.
At this moment, the altar was swiftly shifting in the void. Compared to the usual peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm, the speed of this shift was much faster.
Unless there was a power like that of the Mountain Sea Realm, with this altar, the Fallen Heaven Pavilion was already standing invincible within the
Mysterious realm.
Now, the altar was rushing towards the area where a large number of Evils were disappearing. Tan Bingxiu wanted to see who exactly was causing such a disturbance.
Outside the city of bewilderment, Chen Fei stood on the mountain hollow. The surrounding Evil energy had become so dense that it covered an area of about two square kilometers.
The Concealment Bell was originally in a state of silent ascension, but then Chen Fei used Spiritual Essence behind it, forcibly waking it up. In its confusion, the Concealment Bell found that it had ascended.
From a middle-grade magic treasure, it ascended to a top-grade magic
treasure.
Relying on a massive amount of Spiritual Essence, it directly smashed through the so-called transformation period.
Chen Fei looked at the Concealment Bell emitting a faint light in his hand. Both its defensive and suppressing abilities had increased significantly.
For Chen Fei now, the Concealment Bell could barely be used.
Chen Fei casually put away the Concealment Bell and looked up into the sky.
Suddenly, hundreds of beams of light smashed towards Chen Fei. These beams of light were pitch-black and cold, just looking at them made one’s mind sway, difficult to control.
“Hiss.”
The beams of light struck the mountain range, and silently, half of a mountain peak disappeared.
in midair, the colossal body of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul appeared, nearly a thousand eyeballs blinked continuously, then all focused on the front.
Chen Fei’s figure appeared, looking at the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul before him.
Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, except for the Fallen Heaven Pavilion and the Shadow Abyss Sect, Chen Fei was probably the most familiar with it.
Back in the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm, Chen Fei had almost been caught up by Thousand-Eyed Ghoul.
At that time, if Chen Fei had truly been caught, given the difference in their realms, there would have been no chance for Chen Fei to escape.
But also because of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, Chen Fei obtained the inheritance techniques of the other nine top forces. Although they were incomplete, when fused together, they led to the creation of the present Profound Heavenly
Sword.
Now meeting again, Chen Fei was already at the peak of the Combined
Aperture Tempering realm, with both sides at the same level, and there was no need for Chen Fei to flee.
The nearly thousand eyeballs of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul stared firmly at Chen Fei. There was a strange sense of familiarity with this human in Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, always feeling like they had met somewhere before.
However, these thoughts were unimportant; the main goal was to kill this human!
In the distance, all the Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts felt a sinking feeling in their hearts as soon as Thousand-Eyed Ghoul appeared, a chaotic sensation spreading in their sea of consciousness.
Some of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators with lower cultivation quickly bowed their heads, afraid to look at Thousand-Eyed Ghoul again.
“This opponent is formidable. Let’s join forces to kill him!” someone whispered, then directly charged towards Thousand-Eyed Ghoul.
The other Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators glanced at each other, then all rose into the air the next moment.
Chen Fei displayed formidable strength, but this Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, some well-informed individuals had heard about the encounter of the Shadow Abyss
Sect in the past.
Having two peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators and dozens of disciples joining forces at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, they had ultimately let Thousand-Eyed Ghoul escape. Even when Min Yanlu personally intervened, Thousand-Eyed Ghoul still managed to flee successfully.
Although there were some other reasons involved, these incidents were enough to prove the ferocity of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul.
Now that they had finally managed to produce a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, if they allowed the other side to be injured, then the remaining people would have no hope of leaving this Mysterious realm.
Thousand-Eyed Ghoul sensed the movements of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators below, and its eyeballs suddenly rotated, staring at those cultivators. The next moment, the figures reflected in the pupils of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul began to distort and deform.
In reality, those Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators who rushed over also suddenly halted in mid-air.
Their physical bodies showed no change whatsoever, but at this moment, their minds in their sea of consciousness began to twist, just like the figures reflected in the pupils of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, being distorted by an invisible force.
All the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators began to show signs of pain on their faces. The lower their cultivation, the more pronounced the agony Even those in the later stages of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, although they could still resist for the time being, their bodies were already immobilized.
In the Boundless Sea, Thousand-Eyed Ghoul was formidable, but it would
never be strong to such an extent.
However, now this was a Mysterious realm, equivalent to the territory of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul. With the favorable circumstances, Thousand-Eyed Ghoul’s power received a significant boost.
Before these Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators could even begin their assault, Thousand-Eyed Ghoul had already dealt with them using nearly a hundred eyeballs.
Meanwhile, the remaining eyeballs of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul continued to stare at Chen Fei. The reflection of Chen Fei’s figure within them also began to fluctuate. However, no matter how Thousand-Eyed Ghoul exerted its power, Chen Fei’s mind remained unyielding.
Chen Fei looked at Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, and suddenly, the roar of a Suppressing Dragon Elephant resounded.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Over a hundred eyeballs of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul suddenly burst open, causing its entire body to violently tremble. A sharp howl emanated from Thousand-Eyed Ghoul’s mouth.
Chen Fei took a step forward with his right foot, arriving in front of
Thousand-Eyed Ghoul in an instant.
The Three Flowers of Combined Aperture trembled slightly, and the surging elemental power circulated along mysterious pathways. Chen Fei’s already elevated aura soared once again.
Forbidden Technique, Five Gates!
The same forbidden technique, when used by individuals of different realms,
had vastly different effects.
There were Combined Aperture Tempering realm peak martial artists who used forbidden techniques in battles, such as the Supreme Elder Yan Xuanji of the Tiandao Sect, who had directly used a forbidden technique during the battle at the Fallen Heaven Pavilion’s mountain gate.
For sects like the Tiandao Sect with specialized inheritance for body refinement, it wasn’t difficult to understand that they would regularly use forbidden techniques in combat if they cultivated the Tiandao Art to a profound level.
However, a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator using the Five Gates forbidden technique in battle was definitely unheard of and unseen.
The elemental power of a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator was extremely robust. Opening just one gate of the forbidden technique would strain the body to the point of being unable to bear it. Opening five gates, wouldn’t the body simply explode?
The Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators in the distance, who had just caught their breath after witnessing Chen Fei’s backlash from controlling the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, were about to continue rushing towards Thousand-Eyed Ghoul to support Chen Fei.
However, they were all frozen in place by Chen Fei’s unreasonable act of unleashing a forbidden technique.
The surging elemental power rapidly circulated within Chen Fei’s body. Even with Chen Fei’s physique nearing the limits of the Mountain Sea Barrier, he felt a tremendous pressure.
Inside his body, many subtle areas were damaged. It started with just a little, but as time passed, these damages would worsen. Eventually, a chain reaction would occur, becoming uncontrollable.
But with the unparalleled recovery power of controlling the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, as soon as the damage began, it was immediately repaired, leaving no chance for it to escalate.
Thousand-Eyed Ghoul continued to roar in agony due to the bursting of its eyeballs. Its inherent nature was to seek revenge at any cost, and it harbored deep hatred towards Chen Fei.
However, as Chen Fei unleashed the forbidden technique with an overwhelming momentum, surprisingly, Thousand-Eyed Ghoul’s emotions seemed to become somewhat rational.
Although it would take an extremely long time to recover from the loss of over a hundred eyeballs, it was ultimately possible to recover.
The next moment, the body of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul suddenly became ethereal and disappeared directly into the void of the Mysterious realm.
Stimulated by Chen Fei’s current aura, Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, without hesitation, chose to flee directly from its heart.
A beam of light shot out from the center of Chen Fei’s forehead, firmly locking onto Thousand-Eyed Ghoul.
Whether it was due to practicing the technique of controlling the Suppressing Dragon Elephant or gaining a deeper understanding of the soul, Chen Fei seemed to perceive something he hadn’t seen before when he employed his Heavenly Eye technique.
Previously, the Heavenly Eye’s vision had comprised a world composed entirely
of lines.
But now, on top of these lines, many more nodes had appeared.
The position where Thousand-Eyed Ghoul was about to flee was one of these nodes in the void.
Chen Fei raised his broken ruler and thrust it forward.
The sword energy cut through the air, then suddenly disappeared, entering the void.
The next moment, the void oscillated, and the figure of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, which had long since blurred and disappeared, suddenly reappeared in mid-air.
Among the hundreds of eyeballs on Thousand-Eyed Ghoul’s body, there was a sense of confusion. How could this instinctive action of fleeing into the void fail?
Before Thousand-Eyed Ghoul could understand the reason, Chen Fei had already appeared in front of it, thrusting the broken ruler forward.
This time, Thousand-Eyed Ghoul was already too late to escape. Moreover, because its attempt to flee into the void had failed, it was caught off guard when faced with Chen Fei’s attack.
“Aah!”
Before the broken ruler could truly fall, an unimaginable force had already pressed down on Thousand-Eyed Ghoul’s body.
Thousand-Eyed Ghoul screamed in astonishment as its eyeballs began to burst one by one. The frenzied and chaotic power filled the surroundings, causing the elemental energy of heaven and earth to boil.
At the cost of self-harm and even its foundation, Thousand-Eyed Ghoul had exchanged for formidable power.
“Boom!”
A massive force swept out, instantly flattening the accumulated Evil energy below. The ground trembled violently, mountains shattered, and the earth cracked open.
A massive figure was sent flying backward, crashing into the ground. The ground undulated violently like water, then turned into powder, rising into the sky.
With just one move, Thousand-Eyed Ghoul hadn’t died, but it had been severely injured.
The remaining eyeballs of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul watched Chen Fei, devoid of their usual cunning and coldness, replaced only by fear and dread. Thousand-Eyed Ghoul no longer attempted to flee into the void but instead flew directly upwards, frantically darting towards a distant location. If it continued to fight, it would truly die.
Chen Fei looked down at Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, leaning forward slightly. Like a sharp blade cutting through the sky, Chen Fei’s figure appeared in front of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul in an instant.
In terms of speed, Chen Fei wouldn’t dare claim to be the best among Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, but in this Mysterious realm, there was absolutely no one who could escape Chen Fei’s pursuit.
Either you don’t appear, or if you do, don’t expect to leave again!
“Aah!”
Seeing that Chen Fei didn’t leave any chance for survival, Thousand-Eyed Ghoul let out a desperate roar, its entire body boiling with energy.
“Boom!”
Another sword strike was unleashed, and despite Thousand-Eyed Ghoul’s desperate efforts, it still couldn’t withstand the attack. This time, Thousand-Eyed Ghoul’s body dissipated by more than half.
For a martial artist, it would have been considered dead by now. Thousand-Eyed Ghoul was still alive, but death was not far away. Chen Fei’s figure flickered, appearing once again in front of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, whose eyes now held only despair.
“Stop!”
A sudden shout echoed throughout the entire Mysterious realm as Tan Bingxiu and the other two appeared in mid-air, just in time to witness the heavily injured and dying Thousand-Eyed Ghoul.
Chen Fei glanced up at Tan Bingxiu and the others, then swung the broken ruler directly.
The emotions of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul, which had been fluctuating due to the appearance of Tan Bingxiu and the others, abruptly ceased.
With a deafening roar, the body of Thousand-Eyed Ghoul turned into ashes..
