Chapter 831: Nightmare

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Here lies an Evil Realm, discovered by chance before the arrival of the Black Divine at Ethereal Lake,” said Hao Guoshu as he relaxed his fist and glanced at Chen Fei and Gu Zijian. “This Evil Realm disappeared for a while midway, then I managed to find it again.”

“The master of this Evil Realm is on the verge of breaking through to the late Fourth-Tier. If he truly breaks through, our chances will be slim,” continued Hao Guoshu.

“Brother Hao, do you know where the true body of this Evil Realm’s master is located within this city?” Gu Zijian whispered as they looked ahead at several interconnected cities.

Although these cities seemed large, the scope of perception within the Mountain Sea Realm could extend tens of miles, but it was all vague sensing.

True detailed perception only covered a few miles.

Moreover, in such an Evil place, mental perception would be further suppressed.

“I only searched alone last time and did not find the true body of the master of this Evil Realm,” Hao Guoshu shook his head.

Last time, Hao Guoshu sensed something wrong and broke out of the city directly.

However, he discovered significant benefits within this Evil Realm, prompting him to search deliberately afterward.

If not for the descent of the Black Divine, Hao Guoshu might have already brought others to eradicate this strangeness.

“Brother Hao, where did you see the inheritance last time within this Evil Realm?” Chen Fei’s brow furrowed slightly as he looked at the Evil City ahead.

Although the Miasma was dispersed by Hao Guoshu’s punch, under the Heavenly Eye, there were still many things that couldn’t be clearly seen.

“On a stone stele, but that stele can move. I sensed its extraordinariness and forcibly pinned it down.”

Hao Guoshu recalled and continued, “The movement of that stele is connected to the entire Evil Realm. If we can find the stele, we can find the true body of the master of this Evil Realm.”

Hearing Hao Guoshu’s words, Gu Zijian frowned slightly, then sneered coldly. His figure flickered, and he appeared a mile outside the Evil City.

“I’ll overturn this Evil City and see if the master of this Evil Realm dares to come out!”

As Gu Zijian’s voice fell, a towering shadow of a divine mountain appeared behind him, soaring into the clouds with a majestic aura that instantly overwhelmed the surroundings.

With a roar, Gu Zijian’s blood soul axe appeared in his hand. In the next moment, the entire world seemed to split apart as the axe shadows that reached through heaven and earth appeared above the Evil City.

“Boom!”

The mountains trembled violently, and the Evil City ahead became blurry, as if it would shatter under the force of this world-shaking power.

However, as the tremors of the mountains subsided, the Evil City ahead remained unharmed. Gu Zijian’s axe strike seemed like an illusion.

Gu Zijian’s eyebrow had raised slightly, his expression turning somewhat solemn.

“Earlier, when we said that the master of this Evil Realm is on the verge of breaking through to the late Fourth-Tier, this is exactly why. We can’t break through this Evil Realm from the outside,” Hao Guoshu appeared beside Gu Zijian.

“Truly troublesome!” Gu Zijian snorted coldly and put away the blood soul axe in his hand.

Chen Fei remained silent on the side, his Heavenly Eye on his brow continuously flickering.

Before Gu Zijian had made his move just now, Chen Fei had known there would be no result because this was a unique ability of Evils reaching the late Fourth- Tier.

The core reason why many Evils built cities was naturally because, with an Evil City, they had their own territory and gained many advantages in strength.

Similar to how human sects stacked various formations on top of each other.

But sometimes, having territory also meant binding oneself. Attacks from humans and demonic beasts had to be fully accepted by your Evil City.

However, in this situation, when Evils reached the Fourth-Tier or late Fourth- Tier, there was a significant change.

At this time, the Evil City, to some extent, had resided in the crevices of space.

The state of the Evil City in the late Fourth-Tier was truly different from that of the Return to Nothing, which existed both here and not here. In the late Fourth-Tier, the Evil City truly resided within the crevices of space.

The difference between the two was that in the state of Return to Nothing, although it appeared as if it wasn’t present, it could still be attacked by people; in reality, it was always there.

Whereas the Evil City was completely within the crevices of space, unless you could tear apart space, ordinary attacks couldn’t reach them.

Of course, correspondingly, in this state, the Evil City also lacked the ability to launch attacks outward; it was a mutual condition.

To destroy the Evil City, one could only directly enter it and completely destroy it from the inside.

Chen Fei’s talent in teleportation could enter the crevices of space, but to attack the Evil City, one had to enter the specific crevice of space where the Evil City was located.

At that point, there would be no difference from truly entering the Evil City.

Such Evil Cities were undoubtedly dangerous.

Even if this Evil City hadn’t reached the late Fourth-Tier yet, it was probably only a matter of time.

Chen Fei hoped to obtain the subsequent inheritance of the Slaughter Spirit Technique, which would greatly reduce unnecessary troubles in his future cultivation.

It would also make it easier for Chen Fei to sell surplus spiritual treasures without worrying about being traced back to his true identity.

Otherwise, selling off the top-grade spiritual treasures like Duan Suizhi’s and the seven treasures belonging to Qu Haifan and his group would be difficult.

Without selling them, where would the money come from? Without money, how could he afford the Myriad Clone?

Relying solely on simplifying the interface was not enough; time was running short. The recent situation in the Middle Continent was becoming increasingly tense.

Chen Fei had even tried the secondary simplification of the interface several times.

However, secondary simplification only provided an additional channel for proficiency growth. In terms of real difficulty, it did not reduce much.

Moreover, the methods of proficiency growth through secondary and primary simplification could not be used together without conflict.

Chen Fei had known about this situation for many years; after all, he had experimented with it several times.

However, given the urgency of the situation, Chen Fei had to refocus his efforts on secondary simplification, but the results remained unchanged.

“This Evil City imposes significant suppression on the soul. Both of you should be cautious!” Hao Guoshu cautioned.

Chen Fei and Gu Zijian nodded. Hao Guoshu had mentioned this before, and almost all Evil Cities possessed this capability.

“Alright, let’s go in.” Seeing no objections from Chen Fei and Gu Zijian, Hao Guoshu gave a low shout and led the charge towards the Evil City.

Chen Fei and Gu Zijian followed behind, and in the next moment, all three disappeared into thin air.

Ripples spread across the Evil City, and the miasma around them reassembled, concealing the area once more.

Vaguely, within the Evil City, one could see three figures suddenly appearing. The inhabitants of the city stiffened, turning their heads to gaze at the newcomers.

Inside the Evil City,

“Young man, young man, are you alright?”

A faint voice reached Chen Fei’s ears as he opened his eyes, looking around.

The bustling street was filled with people and traffic. Chen Fei lay on the ground, and an old man stood nearby, looking at him with concern.

Upon seeing Chen Fei awaken, a smile appeared on the old man’s face. Yet, to Chen Fei, the smile seemed unusually grim.

Not only the old man’s smile, but everything around Chen Fei felt oppressive. It was as if the entire world was bearing down on him.

“Young man, you’ve finally awakened. You suddenly collapsed in front of me without any apparent reason, which greatly alarmed me,” the old man said to Chen Fei.

“You made me worry, indeed.”

Chen Fei’s body floated up automatically and stood on the ground.

The old man saw Chen Fei’s current state and his eyes widened with surprise. Not only the old man, but all the passersby around turned their gazes towards him.

A chilling atmosphere immediately filled the air, accompanied by several layers of invisible pressure bearing down on Chen Fei’s soul.

Chen Fei smiled faintly, seemingly unaffected by the surrounding stares.

From the moment Chen Fei opened his eyes, the mist that the Evil City had placed on his soul was shattered by the Xuanyuan Sword.

Even the illusion behind the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele couldn’t deceive Chen Fei’s senses; at this moment, Chen Fei’s true self was here, so how could he be deceived?

However, the pressure on his soul just now didn’t seem like something a late Fourth-Tier Evil being could possess.

Chen Fei looked around and then up at the sky, a faint glow appearing at his brow. In the next moment, his brow furrowed slightly.

There seemed to be something wrong with this Evil Realm, as if it had been inexplicably strengthened in certain aspects.

Several thoughts raced through Chen Fei’s mind. He triggered the Dream Web within the Black Divine pattern in his mind, causing it to tremble slightly before returning to calm.

Chen Fei’s brow furrowed even deeper. This Evil City seemed to have the power of the Black Divine, but it was different from those who aligned themselves with the Black Divine.

“Young man, what are you looking at?” the old man’s voice rang in Chen Fei’s ears.

However, compared to the gentleness earlier, the voice now turned extremely cold, harsh, as if it could pierce through one’s eardrums.

“Looking for some familiar faces, old man!”

Chen Fei lowered his head, looking at the old man with a hint of a smile. “Old man, it’s been many years. How are the others from Mi Village doing?”

The old man’s originally cold expression froze. His eyes stared at Chen Fei, and suddenly, the face of someone from decades ago overlapped rapidly with the person in front of him.

The old man’s eyelids twitched, instinctively wanting to step back, but he stopped himself immediately.

“It seems the village chief has recognized me.”

Chen Fei smiled faintly. The old man before him, Chen Fei had recognized him at first glance—he was the village chief of Mi Village from back then.

At that time, Chen Fei had been chased and had to take refuge in Mi Village. His spiritual wisdom had been directly suppressed, leaving him in a confused state where he couldn’t remember anything.

But due to the interface, Chen Fei had stumbled into Mi Village and gained many benefits, eventually being forcibly expelled by the village chief.

Mi Village had left a deep impression on Chen Fei. When he tried to return later, he found that Mi Village had disappeared without a trace.

Now, unexpectedly, in this Evil City, he encountered the former village chief of Mi Village.

The village chief being here meant that there was no reason why the others from Mi Village wouldn’t be here too.

“Young man, what are you talking about? I don’t understand,” the old man said in a stern voice.

“If you don’t understand, then let me teach you the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique.”

Upon hearing the village chief’s response, Chen Fei’s smile widened even more. He glanced at the surrounding pedestrians.

The hostility in their eyes towards Chen Fei was almost overflowing, and the chilling coldness seemed to freeze the very spot where Chen Fei stood.

Clearly, Chen Fei’s unusual behavior had alerted the Evil beings within this Evil City.

Upon hearing about the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique, memories from decades ago flooded back to the village chief’s mind, causing his eyelids to twitch even more intensely.
