Chapter 776: Blood Rebirth

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The sound was faint, almost elusive, yet at that moment, everyone felt a sudden tightening in their chests, as if the next moment, they would all turn into a lump of flesh.

Subconsciously, all eyes turned towards the Primordial Sword Sect. Within the Thousand Geese City, if anyone could make such a commotion, it was probably only him.

In the Tingfeng Pavilion, Chen Fei floated in mid-air, emitting a faint glow from his body.

Under the faint light, Chen Fei’s flesh and bones became transparent, even the sound of blood flowing and the beating of his heart could be heard.

After a moment, the peculiar phenomenon on Chen Fei disappeared, and he slowly landed on the ground.

The majestic force that seemed to crush everything around him vanished in an instant, and Chen Fei’s daunting aura also completely subsided.

Looking at Chen Fei again, he seemed just like an ordinary person.

But to discerning eyes, some subtle differences could be noticed in Chen Fei’s demeanor, which set him apart from an ordinary Mountain Sea Realm cultivator.

Chen Fei opened his eyes, and a flash of purple light passed through them.

He looked down at his body, slowly clenched his fists, feeling a powerful force flowing within him, and his blood accelerating involuntarily.

Faintly, that terrifying aura seemed to be descending upon the surroundings once again.

The complete mastery of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique, as described in the Blood Rebirth, was fully activated.

Now, even if Chen Fei were to be struck in a vital area and crushed into pieces, he could recover in a short time.

Death was definitely not an option, unless his opponent completely obliterated every part of Chen Fei’s body, leaving nothing, not evena drop of blood, in which case he truly couldn’t recover.

For Chen Fei, ordinary physical injuries were no longer a big deal.

Being slashed a few times or stabbed with a few swords was nothing to him. It was the injuries to his soul and spirit that had a greater impact on him.

However, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant itself had the ability to protect the soul and spirit, and now, with the addition of the Xuanyuan Sword, ordinary attacks on his soul and spirit couldn’t harm Chen Fei.

“In terms of safety, there’s finally some assurance!”

The only downside was that the Blood Rebirth of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant required the presence of the main soul.

In other words, it was not feasible for Chen Fei to pre-separatea drop of blood and place it in a safe area.

Chen Fei released his hands, and a mirror formed from Vital energy appeared in front of him, displaying his current appearance.

Every time the Suppressing Dragon Elephant advances, Chen Fei’s appearance changes, but this time, with the technique reaching complete mastery, there wasn’t much overall change in Chen Fei’s appearance.

His facial features just became more defined, the change was subtle, but indeed, he became more handsome.

Isn’t this a bit redundant? It would have been better to just increase strength.

Chen Fei waved his hand to dismiss the mirror, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

With the Suppressing Dragon Elephant reaching complete mastery, apart from activating its characteristics, it continued to strengthen both in power and defense, reaching a quite astonishing level.

Those monsters on the Altar of the Thousand Feathers specialized in strength, but many of the demonic beasts were far inferior to those monsters in terms of strength.

But comparing himself now to the monster he had seen about to break through before, it was likely that in pure strength alone, Chen Fei would surpass that monster.

In other words, with the Suppressing Dragon Elephant at its current complete mastery level, Chen Fei didn’t need the Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword or any other technique. He could simply rely on brute force to beat that monster to a pulp.

“The Suppressing Dragon Elephant at complete mastery level is truly astounding, it feels like a technique from beyond our realm!”

Chen Fei remembered the skeletal cliffs full of void cracks. The stele of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant came from there, likely originating from a world beyond the Boundless Sea.

Like the one where the Black Divine resides, that more advanced world?

“Thousands of years ago, those peak practitioners of the Sun Moon Realm who sought to ascend during the day, could that place be where the Black Divine resides?”

Chen Fei’s expression suddenly twitched, but this could only be considered speculation because Chen Fei couldn’t confirm it.

Thinking about the occasional sightings of those massive palaces in the void, there were too many secrets in the void. Unfortunately, even the strongest practitioners in the Boundless Sea, those at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm, wouldn’t dare to venture deep into the void.

Because one slip-up could mean they’d never return.

And if they couldn’t return, they wouldn’t be able to absorb enough Vital energy, ultimately leading to their demise.

The strength of the Sun Moon Realm, when faced with the void, sometimes seemed a bit fragile, much like now facing the Black Divine’s barrier, where they could only watch without being able to do much else.

On the third day after the Suppressing Dragon Elephant reached Great Completion, Chen Fei’s talent Endless Regeneration, reached the mastery level.

The Vital energy absorbed from the void increased, enhancing Chen Fei’s speed of cultivation and his ability to sustain prolonged battles.

At this point, all the techniques Chen Fei was currently practicing had reached the mastery level, leaving only one, the Eternal Talent.

Chen Fei raised his head and looked ahead. The Ethereal Lake was now accessible. With the Blood Rebirth ability, unless in extreme circumstances, Chen Fei’s safety could still be assured.

However, before going to the Ethereal Lake, Chen Fei wanted to try the Strange Heart Realm.

Strange Heart Realm.

Chen Fei’s consciousness appeared on a hilltop, a faint light emanating from his brow as he scanned his surroundings.

The aura of the Evil King in the distance appeared clearly in Chen Fei’s perception. With a step forward, Chen Fei vanished from the spot.

Half an hour later.

“Boom!”

Chen Fei’s figure flipped over, struckby a tremendous force that sent him flying backward.

The murmurs in his ears had already turned into a frenzy of roars, as if they were trying to completely muddy one’s consciousness.

Chen Fei remained calm, a thin layer of light as delicate as a cicada’s wing enveloping him. Whether it was the pollution inherent to the Strange Heart Realm or the black threads entwined by the Evil King, all were blocked by this light shield.

Chen Fei glanced into the distance. None of the Evil Kings from earlier had pursued him. Only the Long-Tongue Evil continued to chase Chen Fei, relentlessly pursuing him for hundreds of miles.

Two hours ago, Chen Fei ventured deep into the area where the Dream Shadow Stone was located. However, there were truly too many Evil Kings here. The Slaughter Spirit Technique couldn’t completely conceal Chen Fei’s soul fluctuations, making him conspicuous in the eyes of these Evil Kings.

When he was still dozens of miles away from the Dream Shadow Stone, Chen Fei had no choice but to retreat.

Chen Fei had already sensed the aura of a Fourth-Tier Late-Stage Evil King. Although not near the Dream Shadow Stone, it was not far either. If targeted by this Fourth-Tier Late-Stage Evil King, it would be difficult for Chen Fei to escape.

Within the Strange Heart Realm, the Talent Teleportation could still be used, but its range was limited to just over a mile, a far cry from its effectiveness outside.

This place was not a normal world in the conventional sense. Chen Fei suspected that perhaps the Strange Heart Realm was created by some Sixth- Tier or higher Evil King in an attempt to invade the Boundless Sea, which resulted in failure and the emergence of this special area.

Regardless of the truth, Talent Teleportation was not as useful here, forcing Chen Fei to give up on the Dream Shadow Stone.

Chen Fei withdrew his gaze and continued running forward.

An hour later, about two hundred miles away from his previous location, Chen Fei held the Xuanyuan Sword and thrust it into the head of the Long-Tongue Evil.

With the eruption of the true spirit within the Xuanyuan Sword, the Long- Tongue Evil emitted a terrified scream. Then, its entire body of black mist dissipated like melting snow, leaving only a black core floating in the air.

For Chen Fei now, a Fourth-Tier Early-Stage Evil King posed little difficulty. He wondered why this particular Long-Tongue Evil was so persistent in chasing him.

Using a spatial grid to collect the core of this Evil King, Chen Fei exited the Strange Heart Realm.

With the Heart Refinement Formation, he simply purified some of the contamination from the Evil King’s core. Then, after comparing two spatial grids, a pure Evil King core appeared in Chen Fei’s hand.

The peculiar core of the Evil Kings in the Strange Heart Realm was quite miraculous. Whether it was due to the rules of the Strange Heart Realm or some other reason, the cores of the Evils slain by Chen Fei couldn’t be absorbed by others.

Otherwise, distributing these cores to the Primordial Sword Sect would be a significant boon to their mental strength.

Now, only Chen Fei could refine and absorb them himself.

Unfortunately, these Evil King cores ultimately only nourished the mind, offering little benefit to the soul. However, strengthening the mind sometimes indirectly improved the soul.

Thanks to the Strange Heart Realm, Chen Fei had never lagged behind in the cultivation of his mind and soul; it was always his accumulation of elemental power that lagged.

After dealing with the Evil King core, Chen Fei found Qu Qingsheng and gave him some instructions.

Then, Chen Fei found Tang Shouchang and Tang Shouchang, inquiring whether they wanted to go to the Ethereal Lake.

Ning Baizheng shook his head and politely declined. The Ethereal Lake was now a slaughterhouse, and Ning Baizheng didn’t want to take such a risk.

Tang Shouchang hesitated. Compared to Ning Baizheng, Tang Shouchang had been practicing for a shorter time, which meant there was still room for improvement for him.

Moreover, the bounties at the Ethereal Lake were so numerous that it was dizzying.

To eradicate the Black Divine’s barrier, the major Sacred Lands had shown everyone what it meant to be rich and powerful, revealing the profound heritage of these ancient sanctuaries.

Tang Shouchang knew that with his talents, if he continued to practice steadily, he might not even break through to the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm in the future.

But if he went to the Ethereal Lake, as Ning Baizheng feared, he might not be able to come back at all.

By then, it wouldn’t be a matter of realm or not; he would simply cease to exist.

“I’ll go!”

Tang Shouchang gritted his teeth, then looked at Chen Fei and clasped his hands. “I may trouble Brother Chen in the future!”

Tang Shouchang didn’t fully understand Chen Fei’s combat power, but just from seeing the Monster King Leixie Tiger, he could tell a lot. Chen Fei was definitely much stronger than many early-stage Mountain Sea Realm cultivators.

“No need for such formality, let’s watch out for each other.”

Chen Fei chuckled softly. Regardless, Tang Shouchang was still in the Mountain Sea Realm, and he could always lend a hand in various situations.

Chen Fei never thought he could navigate the Black Divine’s barrier alone. Even the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm wouldn’t dare to make such a claim.

Five days later, Chen Fei and Tang Shouchang appeared at the Ethereal Lake, where a massive palace complex stood outside the Black Divine’s barrier.

Outside the palace complex, a bustling market had sprung up, selling all the necessities for Mountain Sea Realm practitioners. Chen Fei even saw many Evil Kings disguised as humans mingling among them.

Inside the Mission Hall, the atmosphere was lively as everyone searched for suitable teammates.

With the Qianyuan Sword at his waist and the Shadow Lock Bow in his left hand, Chen Fei, in order to make others aware of his capabilities, had intentionally enlarged the body of the Shadow Lock Bow.

Charging head-on was out of the question. Within the Black Divine’s barrier, Chen Fei only intended to stay behind and shoot a few cold arrows from a distance.
