Chapter 774: Black Divine Descends

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The thunder inside the Thunder Pool tore the monster apart, suppressing its entire aura to the lowest. Seeing the human in front once again raising the blade to strike, the monster wildly swung its wolf-tooth club, aiming for Chen

Fei’s skull.

“Boom!”

A massive explosion briefly overshadowed the roar of thunder. The Qianyuan

Sword clashed with the wolf-tooth club, gaining another surge of power, and

its speed suddenly increased.

Before the monster could recover from the stiffness of their previous collision, the Qianyuan Sword¹ s blade had already passed through its neck.

With Chen Fei’s current strength, he could slay these monsters even without borrowing power, but it would take some time.

Just from the clash with Chen Fei, the monster’s body stiffened, indicating that.

However, borrowing power made it much easier.

“Roar!”

Ablack shadow completely condensed on the altar, and the monster roared skyward. But soon, this monster, whose size and aura were obviously larger, suddenly found that the three of its kind who had arrived earlier had already dissipated their aura.

So fast?

Chen Fei’s figure flickered, arriving at the altar and thrusting his sword toward

the monster’s head.

“Clang!”

The Qianyuan Sword clashed with the wolf-tooth club, emitting a metallic twist. Powerful shockwaves surged into Chen Fei’s body. He stepped forward and thrust out another sword.

This monster, whether in terms of strength or its monstrous power within, should be considered the strongest Chen Fei has encountered in the early stages of the Fourth-Tier.

As for those Sacred Land Prodigies, Chen Fei hasn’t truly fought them yet, so he couldn’t assess them. But none of the enemies Chen Fei encountered before would be a match for this monster.

Even in just a few moves, they might be smashed by this monster.

This monster might even be willing to directly break through to the mid-stage

of the Fourth-Tier.

However, Chen Fei is stronger than this monster!

“Clang!”

Once again, the sound of blades colliding burst forth, but this time, the

Qianyuan Sword forcibly pressed against the wolf-tooth club and smashed into the monster’s shoulder.

Even the sturdy monstrous body of the monster couldn’t withstand the crushing force, instantly shattering flesh and blood, turning half of its shoulder into a mist of blood.

“Roar!”

The monster roared in astonishment. With victory or defeat almost decided in just two moves, this monster felt somewhat at a loss. Clearly, the human in front of it wasn’t supposed to be much stronger in terms of realm, so why such a big difference in strength?

Without time to think, the monster’s figure violently retreated, and instinctively, it surged the monstrous power within its body, attempting to directly break through to the mid-stage of the Fourth-Tier.

“Buzz!”

A ripple spread from the monster’s body, and its aura began to soar. Although it had just entered this world and hadn’t fully adapted to the spiritual energy here, its own foundation was profound enough. There was a great chance of success in forcibly breaking through.

“Slash!”

A sky-piercing sword shadow appeared behind Chen Fei, and the Qianyuan

Sword in his hand slashed forward.

The next moment, the sword shadow behind Chen Fei suddenly transformed into thirty-six sword bodies, slashing down toward the monster.

“Swish!”

As if something had been severed by a sharp blade, the monster¹ s originally surging aura suddenly stagnated. Then, the monstrous power within its body erupted, rampaging wildly within its monstrous form.

Not only was the breakthrough process interrupted, but even the monster couldn’t control its own monstrous body at this moment.

In human martial artists, this is known as losing control to monstrous influence. Among monsters, the names may differ, but the outcome is the same.

Chen Fei vanished from his original position and appeared in front of the, monster. The Qianyuan Sword in his hand swung down, and the monster’s head instantly flew up.

in the final moment, it tried to dodge but found itself unable to move at all, only able to watch helplessly as the human’s blade flashed past.

A crimson light flew out, the altar within reach, but closer than the crimson light was the Xuanyuan Sword.

The crimson light was instantly chopped into fragments by the Xuanyuan Sword, then dissipated into nothingness.

Chen Fei turned to look at the altar. Four Fourth-Tier early-stage monsters had been transported, one of which was on the verge of a breakthrough. This drained the energy on the altar in an instant.

The light on the altar dissipated, and to activate it again, it could only passively absorb spatial energy.

It’s not just the void spiritual energy; if it were only that, Chen Fei could have restarted the altar now.

There’s also a portion of spatial power that the altar needs to slowly accumulate in order to allow living beings to shuttle between the two altars. Looking at the altar, Chen Fei couldn’t help but feel somewhat fortunate that he had chosen Endless Regeneration for his third Divine Palace.

Originally, the consideration was for future growth, without thinking much about the altar.

If the choice had been “Resilience” earlier, he might have truly been trapped here at this moment.

Whether the altar opens or not now depends entirely on the control from the other side. Clearly, although the altar is right in front of him on this side of the Boundless Sea, he can only watch helplessly.

Chen Fei waved his hand, and the bodies of the four monsters shattered instantly, their pure spiritual essence converging into Chen Fei’s palm. A smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face as he directly absorbed the spiritual essence into his body.

The fourth Divine Palace emitted a faint glow, beginning to be forged upwards

at an astonishing speed.

Chen Fei stood in mid-air, continuously operating the Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword. His aura involuntarily began to expand, and the dark clouds that had already dispersed in the sky were now being reformed by Chen Fei’s aura, thunder roaring once again.

Several hours later, Chen Fei opened his eyes, the spiritual essence in his body completely absorbed.

The fourth Divine Palace had reached nearly seventy percent completion directly. At Chen Fei’s current cultivation speed, he could complete the forging of the fourth Divine Palace within three years.

While other practitioners in the Mountain Sea Realm might still be stuck at the mid-stage bottleneck, once Chen Fei completes the Divine Palace forging, stepping into the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm would be almost a natural progression.

Continuing to let his clone stay here, Chen Fei himself returned to Thousand

Geese City.

Six months passed quietly, during which Chen Fei stayed in Thousand Geese

City without going out.

After half a year of cultivating Endless Regeneration, Chen Fei’s attainment was nearing perfection. In at most another month, he would break through to the Great Completion stage.

At that time, the spiritual energy he drew from the void would increase again, and correspondingly, his cultivation speed would inevitably increase.

The Suppressing Dragon Elephant Technique was only one step away from completion.

In Chen Fei’s body now, almost every drop of blood contained the essence of

the Dragon Elephant.

Within these blood cells lay all the information of Chen Fei’s current state. At this stage, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Technique could be said to be fully cultivated. It only awaited the final step: integrating and resonating all the Dragon-Elephant essences within his blood, truly stepping into the Great Completion stage.

This step was quite intricate. For a normal practitioner, it would likely require a moment of inspiration or enlightenment to complete the final step.

Alternatively, Chen Fei could simply rely on time and stubbornly grind through this final step.

Chen Fei didn’t need to make it so complicated. He just needed to fully master the last bit of proficiency in the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Technique. At most it would take about a month. By then, it was uncertain whether the Endless Regeneration would reach perfection first or if the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Technique would take its final step.

Compared to the crucial step of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Technique, after years of cultivation and aided by the talent of Sword Mastery, the Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword finally reached the Great Completion stage. This technique, slightly inferior only to the top forces on the entire Middle Continent, had finally completed its cultivation.

At the moment Chen Fei reached the Great Completion stage with the Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth intertwined, and the sky above Thousand Geese City suddenly became densely overcast with thunder roaring.

Many people were startled by this scene, thinking that a powerful demon beast or monster was attacking.

Only martial artists above the Combined Aperture Tempering realm could faintly perceive that this phenomenon was triggered by the Primordial Sword Sect.

The celestial phenomenon lasted for a quarter of an hour before gradually dissipating.

Tang Shouchang and Ning Baizheng, with complex expressions, looked towards the location of the Primordial Sword Sect. As Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts, they could perceive the origin clearly, much more than mere Mountain Sea Realm practitioners.

Chen Fei’s rapid increase in strength was indeed a good thing for Thousand Geese City, especially considering the current turbulent situation on the Middle Continent.

However, for those in the Mountain Sea Realm like Tang Shouchang and Ning Baizheng, who had been diligently cultivating but seeing little progress, Chen Fei’s dramatic advancements were unsettling. How could they maintain a calm state of mind when Chen Fei seemed to undergo significant changes almost every time they saw him?

Inside the Tingfeng Pavilion, Chen Fei’s expression remained calm and composed.

With the Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword reaching the Great Completion stage, it meant that Chen Fei could smoothly cultivate to the pinnacle of the Mountain Sea Realm without encountering any bottlenecks. He only needed to continuously accumulate the elemental energy within his body to forge the Divine Palace.

But Chen Fei desired even stronger techniques to integrate into the Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword.

However, these formidable techniques were either the top martial arts of major forces or sacred inheritances, both extremely difficult to obtain.

In normal circumstances, it would be impossible.

“The inheritance of Dream Shadow Master is in the Strange Heart Realm. I need to find an opportunity to explore it!”

Thinking of the Dream Shadow Stone, Chen Fei couldn’t help but ponder. If it weren’t for the rebellion of the artifact spirit, Chen Fei wouldn’t be facing such trouble.

However, given Chen Fei’s current state of spiritual consciousness, facing the dense fog of the Evil King, especially the area with the Fourth-Tier Late-stage Evil Kings, he seemed somewhat inadequate.

It could only be said that compared to the top martial arts of major forces or sacred inheritances, the inheritance of Dream Shadow Master might be slightly easier to obtain, but only slightly.

On this day, while practicing the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Technique and the Endless Regeneration, Chen Fei pondered how to obtain the Dream Shadow Stone.

Suddenly, the entire world became dark, even the sun in the sky was obscured. Chen Fei’s expression changed, and he appeared in the sky above Thousand Geese City, only to find no monsters or abnormalities attacking. A light shone from Chen Fei’s forehead, and in his black-and-white vision, the points and lines between heaven and earth trembled slightly. The source of this tremor was tens of thousands of miles away.

The Ethereal Lake was as vast as a sea.

In the past, it shimmered with sparkling waves, a sight to behold. But on this day, a massive dark shadow descended upon it, completely shrouding the area of several hundred miles around the Ethereal Lake.

Tens of thousands of miles to the east of the Ethereal Lake, the node where the Black Divine Realm was located suddenly shattered. The several great Sacred Lands guarding there were horrified to find that the Black Divine within the Black Divine Realm had long disappeared.

Using some unknown method, the Black Divine descended upon the Ethereal Lake and formed a massive domain.

When the Sacred Lands of the Sun Moon Realm discovered the Ethereal Lake, the domain had already been established.

The power of the Sun Moon Realm, capable of reversing the heavens and earth in the Boundless Sea, surprisingly couldn’t break through this Black Divine domain.

The Black Divine’s power was terrifying thousands of years ago, but after breaking free from the seal and forming this domain, its aura plummeted to the Fourth-Tier.

Facing such a level of power, the strength of a Fifth-Tier Sun Moon Realm should have been able to easily sweep away the Ethereal Lake.

But the reality was that the domain couldn’t be broken. It not only connected the area of several hundred miles but also linked with nearly half of the Middle Continent.

After being sealed for thousands of years, it seemed like the Black Divine had grasped certain rules of this world, using its own source power to manipulate the rules of the world and forge this domain.

Once the Black Divine recondensed its source, it would probably be the time for its counterattack on the Middle Continent, exerting dominance over the world.
