Chapter 729: Void
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Under normal circumstances, the Mountain Sea Realm could not break the void, even at its peak.
However, this referred to common situations. If one wielded a spiritual treasure and possessed special talents, it was still possible to shatter the spatial barrier.
This was different from breakthroughs, where one delved into the void to seek talents.
The void where talents existed was a connection between the inner and outer worlds of the body, resulting in uniqueness.
While the two were related, they were not equivalent.
On the Middle Continent, only those at the Sun Moon Realm or the Fifth-Tier Demon King level could tear open void cracks, or even the Fifth-Tier Evil, because their power leaned toward the mind and soul, making it difficult to shake the void.
Therefore, facing such void cracks was actually very dangerous.
It was definitely a case of getting hurt when touched, and certain death when grazed.
Corpse Cliff Mountain was one of the famous dangerous places on the Middle Continent. Void cracks often appeared here, but because various treasures dropped from these void cracks, there was a constant stream of adventurers coming here.
Many people speculated that there must have been extremely fierce battles in the boundary of Corpse Cliff Mountain in the past, and they must have been battles above the Sun Moon Realm, which caused the instability in space here.
Throughout the entire Middle Continent, there were actually several places similar to Corpse Cliff Mountain, all of them perilous.
Some places were even more dangerous than Corpse Cliff Mountain because the void cracks there appeared with much higher frequency and often silently. By the time you noticed them, it was already too late to dodge.
Chen Fei stood in the shade of a tree, looking at the cracks in the sky. In the corner of one crack, a faint light shimmered.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover that this object contained extremely majestic natural energy, precisely the much-discussed Heavenly Rain Flower this time.
The void cracks continued to move, and the Heavenly Rain Flower hesitated to fall. However, compared to before, this time the Heavenly Rain Flower’s position was already at the edge of the crack.
Chen Fei looked at the Heavenly Rain Flower, his gaze slightly fluctuating.
Previously, Chen Fei had some doubts about how the Heavenly Rain Flower, along with other treasures, could remain intact in the void.
Now, upon further observation, it was discovered that around the Heavenly Rain Flower, there was a surrounding void force. It was precisely because of these special powers that the Heavenly Rain Flower could remain unscathed in the void.
Therefore, if one wanted to navigate the void and control this kind of power, there was a slight possibility.
Do the powerful above the Mountain Sea Realm control this kind of power?
No, it feels more like the strong at the Sun Moon Realm forcibly break open the void when their power reaches a certain level, rather than mastering the power of the void.
Various thoughts raced through Chen Fei1 s mind, and as he pondered, more and more Mountain Sea Realm experts arrived at this location.
In less than a moment, the number of Mountain Sea Realm experts here had increased from just a few to dozens.
The vast majority of them were at the early stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, with only a few at the mid-stage, and fewer than three at the late stage.
Chen Fei1 s gaze shifted towards one of the late-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts because he sensed a trace of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant’s aura emanating from this individual.
Although Chen Fei’s cultivation realm was far from that of this late-stage Mountain Sea Realm expert, when it came to proficiency in the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, Chen Fei was much stronger than him. Therefore, he could easily discern the traces of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant on him.
“The newcomer from the Saint Yan Sect?”
A thought flashed through Chen Fei’s mind, and then he averted his gaze. Staring at someone like that could easily trigger their instinctive response.
” I heard someone from the Saint Yan Sect was coming, and I guessed it was you.”
In the sky, Ji Danhong wore only a few wisps of light veils, her graceful figure appearing ethereal. However, few dared to meet her gaze directly.
Even the other two late-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts only looked into Ji Danhong’s eyes.
As the Lord of the Flowing City, this was one of Ji Danhong’s identities, which naturally held enough intimidation for ordinary warriors. However, what truly made others wary of Ji Danhong was her connection to a powerful figure in the sacred land.
Although Ji Danhong had never directly addressed this matter, when everyone believed it to be true, it became an established fact.
“If someone from my sect is killed, naturally, I have to come and take a look,” said Qiu Zesheng, his face remarkably young but adorned with white hair, as he looked at Ji Danhong.
“If Lord Ji has any information, I hope you can inform me.”
“If there is any news, I will naturally inform you,” Ji Danhong replied with a coquettish smile, her face full of tenderness.
“Is the Lord interested in this Heavenly Rain Flower as well?” Xue Jinglun asked in a deep voice.
“Just here to watch the excitement and relieve boredom. Although the Flowing City is large, it’s usually quite dull,” Ji Danhong shook her head, whether her words were genuine or not remained uncertain.
“I am a junior. I’ve been in need of Heavenly Rain Flowers lately. If the Lord happens to acquire any, I’m willing to purchase them at a high price.”
Xue Jinglun didn’t know whether Ji Danhong’s words were sincere or not. He had been here for over half a year already, all for the sake of this Heavenly Rain Flower.
“We’ll talk about it later,” Ji Danhong replied with a coy laugh, covering her mouth.
At the top of the sky were three late-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts, slightly below were those at the mid-stage, and on the outermost layer were those at the early stage.
The closer to the void cracks, the higher the likelihood of obtaining Heavenly Rain Flowers naturally.
From their current positions, one could see the true nature of this world: survival of the fittest. The strong had more qualifications to claim everything unless they didn’t want to.
“Roar!”
A loud roar suddenly echoed from the distance. In the blink of an eye, a massive black shadow appeared, its imposing aura dominating the surroundings.
Due to their soul nature, most demonic beasts had a much weaker sense of the void compared to humans, so their speed in reaching this place was slower.
With the appearance of this Fourth-Tier late-stage Monster King, more Monster Kings began to arrive one after another, coldly eyeing the Mountain Sea Realm experts.
Chen Fei remained standing at the foot of the mountain, appearing extremely inconspicuous among the numerous Mountain Sea Realm experts.
Suddenly, a faint sound echoed in his ears, and the surrounding environment began to change drastically.
In the void of emptiness, Chen Fei extended his hands, only to find that they had turned into skeletal arms without him noticing. Looking at his body, it was the same.
“Clang!”
Within his mind, the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly emitted a deafening sword cry, and all the illusions before him disappeared instantly. Chen Fei turned his head to see a dark figure appearing on the edge of the sky.
Chen Fei narrowed his eyes slightly. It was a Fourth-Tier late-stage Evil, and it seemed to be on the verge of reaching the peak of the fourth stage.
Just its appearance dragged people into illusions, likely caused by the aura it unintentionally emitted.
All the Mountain Sea Realm experts instinctively avoided and kept their distance. Even Ji Danhong and the other two were now looking at the Fourth- Tier Evil with solemn expressions.
Not only humans but also the demonic beasts roared at the black shadow.
Humans, demonic beasts, Evils—on the Middle Continent, they stood on equal footing.
Though Evils were fewer in number, once they appeared, their strength was extremely formidable.
Apart from these three, there are actually other species on the Middle Continent, but they haven’t thrived, and there are no powerful beings at the Fifth-Tier realm suppressing their racial luck.
Chen Fei followed the other early-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts and moved backward for some distance.
Chen Fei furrowed his brows slightly. The gathering of power here had reached an exaggerated level. Once the Heavenly Rain Flower truly emerged, it was feared that a fierce battle would erupt.
Chen Fei was somewhat confident in his defense, but in such chaotic warfare, just taking one blow more could lead to being forcefully shattered.
Chen Fei could recognize the danger, and naturally, the other Mountain Sea Realm experts could too. However, the early-stage ones on the periphery showed no intention of leaving.
Chen Fei was puzzled. As good as the Heavenly Rain Flower might be, it didn’t seem necessary to risk such great danger.
Unless, after the emergence of the Heavenly Rain Flower, even the early-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts had a certain hope of obtaining it.
“Hum!”
As Chen Fei was observing his surroundings, a violent disturbance in the void suddenly emanated from above. Chen Fei looked up and saw the Heavenly Rain Flower breaking free from the void.
The void forces around the Heavenly Rain Flower collided with the void cracks, creating a vibration.
Seeing this scene, the early-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts who had previously surrounded the area suddenly dispersed in all directions.
A beam of light emitted from Chen Fei’s forehead as he focused on a few individuals. Upon observing their actions, his expression couldn’t help but change slightly.
Although these people were moving away, they were also opening the spatial channels of their spiritual treasures.
Almost all spiritual treasures were capable of storage, essentially advanced versions of Qiankun bags. Chen Fei also stored his belongings in the Qianyuan Sword, so he was familiar with this kind of fluctuation.
“So they’re trying to lure the Heavenly Rain Flower to come to them?”
Chen Fei glanced at the Heavenly Rain Flower in the sky and then at the actions of these individuals, a speculation surfacing in his mind.
When the Heavenly Rain Flower falls from the void, it is likely to be attracted by spiritual treasures with spatial properties.
No wonder, despite the vast difference in strength, these early-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts didn’t leave. There was this method of contention.
However, compared to the spiritual treasures of the early-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts, the high-grade spiritual treasures of Ji Danhong and others would probably have a greater allure for the Heavenly Rain Flower.
Therefore, for the other early-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts, they could only say there was a chance, but how much of a chance depended entirely on luck.
Not only on the human side, but the demonic beasts also opened the channels of their internal storage.
Demonic beasts generally didn’t forge spiritual treasures; they directly tempered their bodies or certain parts of their bodies, which was more advantageous for them.
However, given the importance of storage, they naturally developed this function as well.
Chen Fei watched the scene before him and also opened the storage space of the Qianyuan Sword.
Just as Chen Fei was about to open the storage space of the Concealment Bell, his arm involuntarily paused.
The storage space of a low-grade spiritual treasure definitely couldn’t compare to that of a high-grade one, nor could it compare to those of the Fourth-Tier late-stage Monster Kings.
But Chen Fei wasn’t just reliant on the storage space of spiritual treasures.
Chen Fei’s figure turned into a shadow, distancing himself from the other Mountain Sea Realm experts.
Luck was something Chen Fei couldn’t control, but when it came to the attraction of space for the Heavenly Rain Flower, what space could compare to the Spatial grid!
Time stood still! All auras were isolated!
If it weren’t for the spatial grid being too small, it would seem like another independent world!
Chen Fei opened one of the spatial grids and looked up at the sky. As the void trembled, a radiance descended from it.
