Chapter 798: Black Divine’s Corner

“This… isn’t this the Tree King from the Feihuang Sect!”

After observing for a while, Chen Fei finally recognized where this familiar feeling came from.

The first time he came to Feihuang City, he was so amazed that Chen Fei stood beneath the Tree King and observed for a long time.

Back then, Chen Fei also thought that if Bacca could reach this level in the future, it would be a great tale indeed.

After all, Bacca was just an ordinary monster, while the Tree King of Feihuang City had some special origins.

Chen Fei’s eyes flickered. At this moment, whether in size or aura, this tree was quite different from before, but there were still many details that couldn’t be erased.

Back when Feihuang City was destroyed, there were many mysteries involved, and now the truth seemed to be revealed.

However, thinking about the strength of the Tree King, Chen Fei couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly.

In the outside world, the Tree King’s strength could handle two or more peak experts of the Mountain Sea Realm. If it’s just defense, it would probably take three or more peak experts of the Mountain Sea Realm to break through the Tree King’s defense.

Now, in the Black Divine Barrier, leaving aside whether the Tree King s strength has grown again, even if it’s still the same as before, dealing with the Tree King will be extremely dangerous for both the Mountain Sea Realm experts and the Monster Kings.

Unlike many other monsters lacking much wisdom, the Tree King possesses complete sentience, comparable to humans, which is its most terrifying aspect.

Chen Fei withdrew his gaze, intending to report to the Mission Hall as soon as

he left the barrier.

Currently, due to the multitude of monsters in Green Acorn Lake, they hadn t yet encountered that Tree King.

If they were to approach and discover the Tree King’s presence later, it would inevitably lead to a bloody massacre. Even experts at the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm would likely find it difficult to escape unscathed.

Even for late-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts, escaping would probably require a great struggle.

Chen Fei leaped forward, circling around Green Acorn Lake, seeking a suitable point of attack.

Due to the significant enhancement of his vision, compared to other Mountain Sea Realm experts, Chen Fei’s movements were less cautious.

While other Mountain Sea Realm experts worried about possible monster ambushes, Chen Fei would immediately shoot an arrow if he spotted any lurking monsters.

After circling almost half of Green Acorn Lake, Chen Fei arrived at a small hill and looked ahead, his expression subtly changing.

There were seven individuals, dressed similarly and presumably from the same sect. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation had reached the late stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, with the Divine Palace already condensing eight palaces.

This level of cultivation was just a step away from reaching the pinnacle of the Mountain Sea Realm, and stepping into it would completely alter their future prospects.

The difference between the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm and the late stage might seem to be just the condensation of one more Divine Palace on the surface, but in reality, it also involves a unique innate talent and the terrifying power that erupts when all nine Divine Palaces are fully connected.

For those whose inherited teachings are top-notch, they might even lack a unique talent technique, much like Chen Fei’s Sword Dominates the Galaxy.

At this moment, the seven individuals several miles away were stationed in a basin.

Chen Fei stood at a high vantage point, allowing him to overlook the entire

basin.

Black mist lingered, and its density was more pronounced compared to elsewhere.

In less than fifteen minutes of observation, Chen Fei witnessed a monster being born out of nothing in the basin. The creature’s growth rate was astonishing, its aura visibly increasing at a rapid pace.

Chen Fei suddenly realized that this basin was one of the areas within the Black

Divine Barrier where killing monsters was particularly easy.

Such occurrences were not secrets among many Mountain Sea Realm experts, and even the Mission Hall did not prohibit such actions.

After all, they were all hunting monsters, and one couldn’t deny the achievements of others just because they found it easier to kill.

Chen Fei suddenly recalled Xiao Qiping and the others who had tried to kill him just now.

Initially, Chen Fei thought it was simple retaliation, but now it seemed they might have thought he had found a similar location.

However, the reasons for their actions no longer seemed important.

Chen Fei’s figure flashed as he left the spot.

He had not seen such an area just now, which was why he wanted to take a look. Suddenly, Chen Fei’s steps paused slightly, his eyes flickering as he turned back to look at the basin.

After examining the area beneath the basin, Chen Fei carefully observed the details of the terrain surrounding it.

Regarding these special areas, Chen Fei knew from information he had gathered that several major Sacred Lands had sent people to investigate. They eventually concluded that this was a node within the entire Black Divine Barrier.

Just as formations have nodes, so do barriers.

Nodes are important, but sometimes they are not as crucial.

In more complex formations, there could be tens of thousands of nodes. Chen Fei had roughly observed the formation of Feihuang City in the past, where the nodes were densely packed to an unimaginable extent.

Considering the Black Divine Barrier, even a moment’s thought revealed its complexity and meticulousness regarding the number of nodes present. Occasionally, some nodes experiencing issues are not a major concern. The city wall area covered by the essence formation outside the barrier is actually inscribed on Black Divine Barrier nodes. Only this way can it be purified.

When Chen Fei thought about the nodes of the Black Divine Barrier just now, he naturally wasn’t considering using these nodes to manipulate or breach the barrier.

Given the profound heritage and knowledge of the Sacred Lands, such actions were beyond their capabilities, and certainly beyond his.

What Chen Fei had just considered was whether he could destroy a few nodes and create a similarly special area himself.

Green Acorn Lake, which Chen Fei had just circled, was densely packed with monsters, making it difficult for him to decide where to start.

The worst-case scenario would be firing an arrow and unintentionally drawing out a swarm of monsters.

Dealing with mid-level Fourth-Tier monsters was manageable, but if he attracted late-stage fourth-tier monsters, Chen Fei might find himself overwhelmed despite his formidable armor.

Chen Fei pondered deeply. People from the Sacred Lands undoubtedly had similar ideas before, but judging from the current situation, none had succeeded.

However, what people from the Sacred Lands couldn’t achieve, Chen Fei might have a chance at accomplishing.

Chen Fei’s biggest difference from other Mountain Sea Realm experts was probably that to some extent, the Black Divine Barrier seemed to consider him half of its own. Judging by his current expansive field of vision, this was evident.

The strongest fortresses are often breached from within.

With this kind of insider status, initiating actions became incredibly

convenient.

Chen Fei’s figure flashed as he moved away from Green Acorn Lake.

Half an hour later, Chen Fei appeared near the entrance of the Stone Forest

Canyon.

Due to its unique terrain, there had been few Mountain Sea Realm experts visiting the area recently.

While Green Acorn Lake still had the potential to lure out and kill some monsters, the entrance to the Stone Forest Canyon could trigger a swarm of monsters with just one creature appearing, making it too dangerous.

Chen Fei stopped about twenty miles from the entrance of the Stone Forest Canyon, looking at the ground.

A beam of light radiated from the center of Chen Fei’s forehead, enveloping the ground completely.

Upon closer inspection, this process took a full hour. During this time, Chen Fei remained motionless, absorbing various details and information that collided in his mind.

“Szzt!”

The Qianyuan Sword was unsheathed and held in Chen Fei’s hand. In the next moment, he gripped the Qianyuan Sword and thrust it into the ground.

“Hmm!”

Ripples spread across the entire ground, causing no visible damage, but the surrounding black mist trembled violently.

A peculiar gravitational force emanated from the point where the Qianyuan Sword had landed, tugging at the black mist.

However, this phenomenon lasted only a moment before gradually calming down.

Chen Fei furrowed his brow slightly and slowly withdrew the Qianyuan Sword. Indeed, the spot where Chen Fei had pierced was a node of the Black Divine Barrier. But while identifying a node was one thing, causing it to malfunction was another.

Nodes within formations are interconnected and interdependent. This is especially true for the intricate Black Divine Barrier.

Attempting to destabilize the barrier by attacking its nodes was an impossible feat because all nodes within the barrier would collectively bear any attack. Attacking a node was no different from attacking the entire barrier itself. To truly dismantle the Black Divine Barrier, one would either need to kill the Black Divine or find the barrier’s central core and break it.

However, neither option was currently feasible.

just as Chen Fei couldn’t achieve it, the state of the nodes he observed was not much different from what skilled formation masters would perceive.

Chen Fei’s sole advantage lay in his ability to slightly perceive the fluctuations of the Black Divine’s power.

While the Black Divine Barrier regarded Chen Fei as half of its own, even if he were considered a full insider, many secrets would remain inaccessible.

At this moment, Chen Fei focused more on leveraging the barrier’s enhancement to his abilities, using his Heavenly Eye to reverse-engineer and devise a possible solution.

However, the recent verification indicated that Chen Fei’s approach had not succeeded.

Standing in place, Chen Fei furrowed his brow in thought for a moment, then plunged his sword into the ground once again.

The ground rippled once more, but the ripples quickly vanished. After a moment of tremors, the surrounding black mist returned to its original state.

It seemed Chen Fei had failed again.

Yet, instead of frustration, Chen Fei’s tightly furrowed brow slightly relaxed. The fact that the ripples lasted longer this time suggested that Chen Fei’s direction was not entirely wrong; what he needed now was more time. As long as the direction was correct, continued experimentation would yield results.

In Chen Fei’s mind flashed the changes in the node after the attack earlier, as well as the rhythmic flow of black mist observed in the basin at Green Acorn Lake.

After a moment’s contemplation, Chen Fei inserted the Qianyuan Sword into the ground for the third time.

“Clack!”

A sound akin to shattering echoed through Chen Fei’s consciousness as his sword directly cracked a node of the Black Divine Barrier.

However, in an instant, the crack was fully repaired by the surrounding nodes. No abnormalities appeared in the node, and even the surrounding black mist hardly fluctuated.

Chen Fei remained expressionless, recalling the details from earlier. He withdrew the Qianyuan Sword and struck once more.

An hour later, Chen Fei appeared in the Mission Hall.

First, he reported the possibility of the Tree King appearing at Green Acorn Lake. The Mission Hall attached great importance to this information, rewarding Chen Fei with three points of merit, although it had yet to be verified. Further rewards would follow if the information proved true.

Clearly, the Mission Hall personnel understood the potential devastation a Fourth-Tier peak Tree King could cause.

Without hesitation, Chen Fei exchanged all the contribution points on the jade ruler for elixirs to aid in his cultivation.
