Chapter 784: The Blood Crystal finally evolves!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
One sword piercing the moon, commanding the universe!
When Xia Fei poured all of his Law of Primal Chaos force into the tiny point on his fingertip, this power that could subvert everything ceased to be savage and brutal, but became extremely sharp instead!
*Plush!*
With a nimble lift of his finger, Xia Fei pierced through the defense that the green-furred Xu Ming had been so proud of and tore open his head!
Xia Fei attacked with the Blood Crystal with no hesitation. He used the cruelest method to drain Xu Ming’s powerful life force!
No, it was not just Xu Ming being devoured. The wicked and ancient being behind the bronze Mongoose was also being eaten!
*Beng!*
At the same time, Xu Ming tightly wrapped his arms around Xia Fei, ten fingers attempting to penetrate the Monohorn Ogre’s defenses like sharp knives and stab into Xia Fei’s body!
Xia Fei did not try to dodge. This was a life-and-death struggle, and neither side could back out!
Either Xu Ming would break through Xia Fei’s defenses or Xia Fei’s Blood Crystal would suck Xu Ming dry first!
*Whoosh~*
The Blood Crystal seemed to sense the danger on the battlefield, sensed that Xia Fei was in grave danger, for it started to devour crazily! Devour as if its life was on the line!
No matter what sort of evil lifeform hiding behind the bronze mongoose mask was, the Blood Crystal would not let it go!
His body was tense like a guitar string, about to snap at any moment. Xu Ming applied unprecedented pressure on Xia Fei, causing the latter to struggle to breathe as his bones groaned!
Xia Fei clenched his teeth and endured. The Blood Crystal was working hard, and with each second he endured, Xu Ming would lose more of his energy!
He had to admit that Xu Ming was unimaginably powerful! A crack had appeared in the Fig Corporation’s top-class Great Law Emperor armor, the Monohorn Ogre! It must be understood that, while this armor was classified as for Great Law Emperors, its defensive capabilities was actually at the Law Overlord level! Even this could not stop Xu Ming’s attack? This power had already reached an absurd level!
Xia Fei started to get dizzy from the lack of oxygen, and his face turned pale.
At this perilous moment, the Blood Crystal suddenly erupted with a blinding red light, painting the sea of stars the color of blood. A bizarre red nebula appeared in the universe!
A blade edge!
A third blade edge suddenly grew out!
The Blood Crystal had been like an ordinary dagger before this, a double-edged blade where neither edge seemed very sharp.
Now, the Blood Crystal had grown out a third edge, becoming a three-edged saber! The blade grew one inch longer!
Heavy and inconspicuous.
The Blood Crystal had always appeared rather simple and plain, but this additional third edge and additional length greatly strengthened its devouring power!
It became insane! An insanity more insane than insanity!
The heavy blade lacked any sort of sharpness, but it could destroy the world!
True divine weapons did not need any sorts of bells and whistles. To take the Blood Crystal for example; if one disregarded its simple appearance, one would discover the wickedness within—an evil that was deeply rooted in its essence! Enough to make any expert quake in fear!
“Owooooo!”
A miserable howl resounded through the universe, but it was impossible to say who had made it. Far too much energy had mixed together! This was a messy battle! A gruesome battle!
Xia Fei, Furball, Peacock Blue, and the Blood Crystal were all doing everything they could! Each one more savage than the other!
It was undoubtedly an amazing battle!
Furball was the vanguard, drawing Xu Ming’s attention, while Peacock Blue struck from the shadows, strengthening its control over Xu Ming, and finally, Xia Fei delivered the killing blow! The Law of Primal Chaos combined with the Blood Crystal destroyed all so-called impregnable defenses!
With flawless cooperation, they unleashed an unending barrage of pre-planned attacks, blasting apart even the sturdiest rock on the shore!
At the critical moment, the Blood Crystal evolved, destroying Xu Ming’s last hope!
*Whoosh!*
Energy rapidly drained away, and the green-furred Xu Ming’s arms grew weak and dropped down.
The battle was decided!
This was a universe that favored the stubborn and the insane, and Xia Fei was more stubborn and more insane than Xu Ming! Thus, Xu Ming died and the madman lived!
…
Xia Fei kicked a pile of bones into powder!
Law Overlord Xu Ming was dead!
The wicked lifeform in the bronze mongoose mask was also dead!
Xia Fei placed his hands on his thighs and panted for breath, beads of sweat covering his forehead. Outsiders would find it very hard to understand just how dangerous this battle had been. The damage done to the Monohorn Ogre would be enough to understand just how much risk Xia Fei had taken.
If the Blood Crystal’s absorption rate had been just a second slower, the result would have been completely different!
“Wonderful! This battle was simply wonderful!” Oro’s eyes erupted with light as he excitedly spoke. “All the conditions were met. If you hadn’t decided to take your enemy’s life at the risk of your own, the result would’ve been entirely different.”
Xia Fei said nothing in response. With Xu Ming’s death, the ball of energy in his brain region was once more full. More importantly, the vampiric shiv, the Blood Crystal, had finally evolved!
The Blood Crystal now had an even greater ability to devour and was certain to be of even greater help to Xia Fei in his path forward. After all, Xia Fei’s level was getting higher and higher, but the enemies he was facing would only get stronger and stronger.
After a short rest, Xia Fei grabbed Xu Ming’s spatial ring and returned to the Wind Garden. With Xu Ming’s death, the seal on this region of space had been undone.
Xia Fei was not going to wait at the crime scene for someone to show up. Those underworld groups were probably in a panic over this incident; besides, Xia Fei had killed many of these people. He would be in a huge mess if someone found him here.
*Whoosh~*
Xia Fei shot through the spatial tunnel and emerged to see Xia Wuye staring at him in shock.
“Young Master Fei, what happened to you?!” The damage to Xia Fei’s armor was obvious, and Xia Wuye immediately became somewhat upset, believing that Xia Fei had fought against some other person and had clearly gotten the worse end of it.
He had no idea that not only had Xia Fei not suffered a loss, he had won big! Putting aside the evolution of the Blood Crystal, he had come back with a storehouse packed with treasure!
“Young Master Fei, don’t you have the clan’s Demonic Wing Token? If you’re in trouble, you should call for reinforcements at once! We, Skywings, have always been united and will definitely travel over vast distances to come to your aid!” Xia Wuye loudly rebuked.
Xia Fei stuck his tongue out and repeatedly said that he was fine.
Xia Fei truly did not dare to take out the Demonic Wing Token whenever he pleased, as the consequences were just too frightening. If he had broken it today, the Skywings might have gone to war against the entirety of the Law Realm’s underworld! These madmen were definitely capable of such a thing.
Moreover, the space had been sealed, so evoking the Demonic Wing Token would have been pointless.
Xia Fei was someone who often inexplicably got into trouble. If he used the Demonic Wing Token whenever that happened, the Skywings would be too busy doing anything else except coming to his aide. Thus, Xia Fei had long ago decided not to use the Demonic Wing Token unless absolutely necessary.
A person had to rely on themselves mostly when living in this vast universe. Xia Fei was well aware of this truth.
While Xia Wuye was living a peaceful and plain life now, sweeping the courtyard every day, he had once been an infamous butcher, killing anyone he came across and possessing a rather violent temper.
Xia Wuye paled upon seeing that Xia Fei was injured and began to mutter about taking revenge, and Xia Fei had to go to great lengths persuading him that he was fine. Even then, Wuye was unwilling to believe it, but there was nothing to be done. All he could do was remind Xia Fei that he could trust in the clan’s power.
Actually, Xia Fei did not know the whole story. Wuye was not so worried about Xia Fei merely because he was a member of the clan but because Xia Fei had the greatest potential among them all. While no one had explicitly stated this, their grand ancestor in the God Race had been secretly observing Xia Fei this whole time.
…
Upon returning to his room, Xia Fei closed the door and took out a light yellow spatial ring. This time, Xia Fei had gathered more than a thousand spatial rings, but this one was the most important! For this ring might contain the Law of Time, the strongest law force of the God Race!
Even Oro was getting a little nervous. As a legendary law power, the Law of Time was something that even this old demon lord had only heard tales about. He was anxious to see the real thing.
Excited, Xia Fei sent his mind into the ring and carefully searched it.
*Pa!*
Xia Fei blasted apart a sandalwood table in the room with a slap of his palm. He stood up and paced around the room, seemingly very frustrated.
“It’s not here!” Xia Fei muttered. “Could Xu Ming not have found the Law of Time on the Ancient Battlefield?!”
Oro also sighed in disappointment.
His mind rapidly whirring, Xia Fei began to analyze all the clues he had carefully.
“Hua Hei and Hua Bai said that someone had intruded into the Ancient Battlefield before. That person was an expert on the same level as those two, but Xu Ming clearly didn’t have this power. The upper echelons of the Old God Cult may be hiding some other secret!” Xia Fei lit a cigarette and frowned.
Oro shrugged. “Things will get difficult if the God Race is involved. After all, you can’t interact with such a high plane of existence. Besides, all those part of Xu Ming’s group are dead, so all of the trails have gone cold.”
Xia Fei smiled. “No, there’s still someone who survive.”
…
The Grandcloud Association, the human race’s largest underworld organization in White Horse Constellation, known as the overseer of the underworld.
Xia Fei was received at the back door by Clean Knife. Xia Fei had a different status now, so he would stir up rumors if he was seen going into the Grandcloud Association. Thus, he had to get in touch with them secretly.
“Lead the way,” Xia Fei coldly said.
Clean Knife had wanted to say something, but seeing how impatient Xia Fei seemed, he swallowed his words. For some reason, Clean Knife felt his blood chill when he saw Xia Fei, particularly when the latter was this serious. The pressure was so great that he found it hard to breathe.
Swallowing, Clean Knife mentally complained, ‘Things aren’t the same anymore. Xia Fei is now an existence that I have to look up to.’
Clean Knife felt much more at ease upon understanding this. Law Emperor, Skywing. Xia Fei had too many glorious titles and existed on a completely different plane from him.
*Beng!*
Xia Fei pushed open the door and entered. The third executive of the Grandcloud Association, Keenan, was uneasily rubbing his hands as he waited for Xia Fei. Several minutes ago, Keenan learned that fifteen thousand underworld elites had been completely wiped out, so he was counting himself lucky to have survived. However, he was also confused on how Xia Fei was still alive.
If everyone was dead, how had Xia Fei survived? Had Xia Fei killed all of them?
“Where is she?” Xia Fei ignored his concerns and bluntly asked, forcing the third steward to swallow all his questions.
“She’s inside and still unconscious. She’s not in a good mental state,” Keenan hastily said.
Xia Fei coldly entered, ignoring everyone else. *Clack!* The door closed.
…
Around fifteen minutes later, Xia Fei strode out. Speaking in a tone that brooked no dissent, he said, “Two things: First, find out who sent the bronze mongoose mask to the underworld trade fair.. Second, send me to the headquarters of the Old God Cult immediately.”
