Chapter 848: Swallowing Like a Tiger

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei waved his hand, sealing away the Metal Tiger, while simultaneously drawing out the spiritual essence of Rong Huachang and tucking the folding fan into his sleeve.

“By the way, what about the spiritual treasures from the other Mountain Sea Realms?” Chen Fei turned and asked.

There were a total of eight Mountain Sea Realm expertsd, and a few of them had entered the spatial channels and hadn’t returned. But the spiritual treasures of the others, as well as the spiritual essence and elemental stones within those treasures, were worth a lot of money.

“It swallowed them all,” Gong Lianfen pointed at the Metal Tiger.

“Why are you looking at me? I killed the person, can’t I take the things? Let me tell you… Ah, be gentle, be gentle!”

As Chen Fei glanced over, the Metal Tiger, about to say something, immediately began pleading loudly for mercy.

Chen Fei loosened his grip slightly, feeling somewhat regretful.

For a superior spiritual treasure like the Metal Tiger, the spiritual essence from intermediate or lower-grade treasures wouldn’t provide much improvement.

Moreover, the Metal Tiger was quite peculiar, likely related to the Six Desires Demonic Separation technique.

Once its owner advanced successfully, the Metal Tiger would automatically absorb the energies of heaven and earth to progress.

Therefore, those treasures and their spiritual materials were truly treated by the Metal Tiger as snacks and devoured entirely.

Metal Tiger sneaked a glance at Chen Fei, harboring secret resentment. When it found its master, it vowed to make this human regret it.

A moment later, Gong Lianfen led Chen Fei to a mountain hollow. There was no altar or stele here, only a slightly larger stone.

“This is it. The fluctuations here vary in intensity, but regardless of whether they’re strong or weak, no one who enters has ever returned,” Gong Lianfen whispered.

Chen Fei’s brow flickered with a faint light. Compared to Gong Lianfen, Chen Fei’s talent in Teleportation and endurance meant he could sense spatial fluctuations far better than most in the Mountain Sea Realms.

Approaching, Chen Fei caused ripples in the surrounding space, as if he might be transported away in the next moment.

“Be careful!” Gong Lianfen couldn’t help but speak out.

Chen Fei waved his hand, halting in place without moving forward.

Because if he continued forward, he would indeed be transported. This place was indeed a natural spatial channel.

In Chen Fei’s perception at this moment, it directly connected to the void, with another spatial entrance not far beyond the void.

The fluctuations here varied, strong and weak, due to the shifting distance between the two spaces, sometimes closer, sometimes farther apart.

No wonder those from the Mountain Sea Realm experts who entered here never returned.

Despite the short distance in the void, Mountain Sea Realm cultivators simply lack the ability to survive in the void. Even those at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm can’t stay in the void for too long.

Driven by desperation caused by the Metal Tiger, they didn’t know where to go and ended up forcing their way into this spatial channel.

However, unlike Chen Fei’s keen perception, they were unaware that beyond the spatial channel lay a dead end.

Even if they miraculously passed through this stretch of void, returning was out of the question.

After experiencing the tearing of the void, how could anyone from the Mountain Sea Realms dare to attempt another passage? It would be tempting fate!

Chen Fei glanced down at the Metal Tiger. Its owner either possessed some extraordinary treasure or happened to cross when the distance between the two spaces was exceptionally close.

Suddenly, Chen Fei thought of the current situation across the entire Middle Continent.

Was this related to the tidal movements in the void, or was there another reason why traces from the Outer Territories were increasingly appearing in the Boundless Sea?

After a moment’s consideration, Chen Fei turned back, deciding not to venture through this spatial channel.

Chen Fei possessed the talent of teleportation, and he was confident he could pass through that short stretch of void.

However, he had no idea about the conditions on the other side of that space. Venturing through could very well lead him into an irreparable disaster.

The formation here wasn’t artificially arranged; it naturally condensed after the formation of this spatial channel, under fortuitous circumstances.

Given enough time, this place could become a hidden treasure trove, perhaps of fourth-tier superior or even top-tier quality.

“Where is your master, the prodigy of the heavens? I’d like to meet him!” Chen Fei addressed the Metal Tiger.

The eyes of the Metal Tiger lit up. “You reckless fool, I’ll make you regret it soon enough!”

Hundreds of miles away, Ye Zhaoyu suddenly opened his eyes. He sensed the aura of the Metal Tiger flying towards this direction, accompanied by two others at mid-fourth tier.

Ye Zhaoyu felt a surge of excitement. It seemed the Metal Tiger had finally made its choice.

When Ye Zhaoyu cultivated the Six Desires Demonic Separation, he had fortunately strengthened his connection with his own life spirit treasure to the utmost, while also pouring most of his power into it.

Although it wasn’t equivalent to the power of a fourth-tier top-tier spiritual treasure, the Metal Tiger’s strength still surpassed that of people like Gong Lianfen, precisely because of this reason.

When the time came for him to confront the Demonic Body, relying on the connection with his life spirit treasure, Ye Zhaoyu’s power would instantly surge, overwhelming the Demonic Body directly.

This method had proven effective during Ye Zhaoyu’s initial confrontation with the Demonic Body, allowing him to smoothly absorb its power and reach the late fourth tier.

During the second separation from the Demonic Body, Ye Zhaoyu employed the same technique, transferring most of his power to the Metal Tiger.

However, Ye Zhaoyu underestimated the Six Desires Demonic Separation. If this cunning method could be used to cultivate the Six Desires Demonic Separation, perhaps this technique would not be classified as a forbidden art.

The Metal Tiger couldn’t directly recognize which of its masters it truly belonged to. Despite Ye Zhaoyu’s continuous efforts to strengthen his bond with the Metal Tiger, it was still broken by the second separation from the Demonic Body.

Excitedly stepping out of the cave, Ye Zhaoyu knew that with the Metal Tiger’s help, slaying and absorbing the second Demonic Body would no longer be an issue.

As he prepared to face the separation from the third Demonic Body, Ye Zhaoyu planned to use a different approach.

However, upon arriving at the cave entrance, his brow furrowed.

At this moment, he saw the Metal Tiger being held by someone else.

With the Metal Tiger’s pride, it would never allow anyone besides its rightful owner to touch it.

“Master, save me!”

Upon seeing Ye Zhaoyu, the Metal Tiger’s demeanor changed drastically.

“How dare you touch my life spirit treasure!”

Ye Zhaoyu bellowed in response, his figure flickering as he swiftly charged towards Chen Fei.

Ye Zhaoyu needed to resolve this swiftly; he had already sensed the approach of the second Demonic Body.

He had to secure the Metal Tiger before the second Demonic Body arrived, in order to successfully suppress it.

As for why the Metal Tiger had been captured by a mid-fourth-tier martial artist, Ye Zhaoyu himself was puzzled.

But now was not the time for contemplation. The situation was urgent.

Perhaps these two humans had utilized formations and talismans to seize the Metal Tiger while it was off guard. After all, humans, in comparison to spiritual treasures, possessed far greater intelligence.

Gong Lianfen felt a chilling wave of murderous intent wash over her, trembling with a sudden urge to flee.

If she couldn’t even withstand the Metal Tiger, let alone its owner, Ye Zhaoyu’s late fourth-tier aura was like the scorching sun in the sky, instilling fear in all who beheld it.

The Metal Tiger widened its eyes, determined to see how its master would tear apart the madman beside him.

Only blood could cleanse the wounds it had just suffered!

Chen Fei’s gaze subtly shifted, perceiving Ye Zhaoyu’s movements slowing down in his eyes.

His aura spreading like a tiger’s might over thousands of miles!

At this moment, Ye Zhaoyu manifested a monstrous tiger behind him, its enormous eyes glaring at Chen Fei. Crimson radiance transformed into immense power, instantly pressing down upon Chen Fei.

Gong Lianfen staggered, feeling her elemental energy suppressed by a third, and her mind and soul affected to varying degrees.

Before the battle even began, she was already weakened.

Compared to the Metal Tiger, Ye Zhaoyu was immensely more powerful.

In a daze, Gong Lianfen felt a sensation akin to when she faced the Sacred One of the Sacred Lands.

No, this was even more overwhelming than facing the Sacred One back then!

Now it wasn’t about whether to escape or not; Gong Lianfen realized she had lost any opportunity to flee.

Instinctively, Gong Lianfen turned to look at Chen Fei. At this moment, he seemed to be her only chance.

“Buzz!”

Above the firmament, the weather abruptly changed, countless thunderbolts weaving through the sky.

Seven stars twinkled within Chen Fei’s body, his aura breaking through Ye Zhaoyu’s blockade.

Sword Dominates the Galaxy!

A phantom sword shadow emerged above the eight Divine Palaces, sweeping away Ye Zhaoyu’s momentum toward Chen Fei, leaving Gong Lianfen feeling a sense of relief.

But as Gong Lianfen sensed Chen Fei’s aura, her intense fear grew stronger, involuntarily rising within her.

If Ye Zhaoyu was like a tiger dominating the land, then Chen Fei at this moment was like a god descending to earth.

“Buzz!”

His divine soul ignited, invisible flames surging around Chen Fei. Thunder roared in the sky, followed by seven bolts descending and merging into the Qianyuan Sword. Ye Zhaoyu’s momentum was instantly suppressed back into his own body.

The excited expression on the Metal Tiger froze as it felt the grip of the person holding it, as if it could be crushed at any moment.

“Boom!”

Chen Fei swung his sword, unleashing a thunder pillar about half a mile wide that directly enveloped Ye Zhaoyu.

Within the thunder, Ye Zhaoyu gritted his teeth and crossed his arms in front of him. But as the thunder continued to bombard him, his arms began to tremble, followed by his whole body shaking.

“Ahh!”

Ye Zhaoyu roared furiously, his entire body glowing red, attempting to deflect the thunder back. However, in the end, he was overwhelmed completely by the thunder.

Moments later, the thunderous roar subsided, leaving behind a massive crater on the ground where Ye Zhaoyu lay in a near-death state.

Even beasts as tough-skinned as descendants of the Emperor’s Ancestor were severely wounded by Chen Fei’s single strike.

Despite Ye Zhaoyu’s higher cultivation, his defenses was clearly not on par, leaving him on the brink of death. Chen Fei had shown mercy.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered, appearing before Ye Zhaoyu.

“Master, master!” the Metal Tiger called out loudly.

Ye Zhaoyu’s body trembled, his eyes opening and meeting Chen Fei’s gaze.

Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique!

An invisible force enveloped Ye Zhaoyu, causing his eyes to become dazed. He no longer knew where he was, forgetting the pain, and only wanting to continue sleeping peacefully.

“Stop!”

In the distance, a beam of light flashed, revealing the second Ye Zhaoyu—his second Demonic Body.

Seeing his original self on the verge of death, the Demonic Body Ye Zhaoyu panicked. If his original self were killed, it would dissipate as well. It had to act personally to slay the original self.

Chen Fei looked up at the Demonic Body Ye Zhaoyu, purple light emanating from the Qianyuan Sword. In the next moment, a thunder pillar engulfed the Demonic Body Ye Zhaoyu.

The Demonic Body Ye Zhaoyu screamed frantically, but his cries grew fainter and eventually dissipated altogether.

Ye Zhaoyu’s original body suddenly trembled, snapping back to awareness. He sensed the Demonic Body’s demise—it was a failure in his attempt to cultivate the Six Desires Demonic Separation Body.

Ye Zhaoyu looked up at Chen Fei. Without a word, Chen Fei’s sword swept across Ye Zhaoyu’s neck. Ye Zhaoyu’s body stiffened, all vitality draining away.

“No!”

The Metal Tiger roared in anguish, its spirit dissipating along with Ye Zhaoyu’s life. The eyes and mouth on its blade disappeared, transforming back into an ordinary superior-grade spiritual treasure.
