Chapter 921: Open Heaven Realm

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Liu Baohai had a strange smile on his face.

The blackness on the blade quickly seeped into Chen Fei’s body, as if it were a living thing. In just a moment, the blade vanished, but Chen Fei’s abdomen was already covered in blackness.

Sinister lines snaked out from the wound, spreading across Chen Fei’s body.

Chen Fei stared wide-eyed at Liu Baohai, his mouth trembling but unable to speak as his entire body collapsed to the ground.

It wasn’t just Chen Fei; among the guards in the courtyard, nine people suddenly attacked, using the same method as Liu Baohai. The others had no time to react before they were struck.

“You’re insane, how could you…”

The roar had barely left his mouth when the entire Sky Sea City suddenly trembled violently. The sounds of battle faintly reached from outside, and the next moment, a black fog enveloped the entire Sky Resonance Court.

The formation of Sky Resonance Court quickly rose, separating the various areas. The light of the Sun Moon Realm’s divine abilities pierced through the black fog’s blockade, but within moments, it was shrouded again by even denser fog.

Chaotic sounds rapidly filled the entire Sky Resonance Court. The courtyard, in particular, had already descended into disorder, with immense power clashing within.

But soon, the courtyard fell silent. A cold, shadowy power gathered in the air above the courtyard, eventually forming a vague silhouette, showcasing the strength of a late-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioner.

The silhouette’s right hand was open, with countless essence streams converging toward it.

Suddenly, a violent tremor came from a distance. The silhouette’s hand paused slightly and then disappeared from its spot.

After a quarter-hour or so, Chen Fei’s eyes slowly opened amidst the black fog. After confirming there were no threats around, he stood up.

Activating the Indestructible Vision, the blackness on his body rapidly receded, eventually disappearing completely.

Chen Fei had deliberately allowed himself to be struck to avoid the powerful beings of the Gong Clan clan.

While such an attack would typically be fatal for someone in the early Sun Moon Realm, Chen Fei was different.

The Gong Clan clan was not truly Evil but bore some similarities to the Evil entities.

Evil entities in the Boundless Sea were often formed from residual souls and were not living beings.

In contrast, the Gong Clan clan from the Return to Nothing Realm was a faction among the myriad races, not driven by a natural instinct to devour living beings.

If the Gong Clan were as hostile as the Evil entities, there would be no space for them to exist in the Return to Nothing Realm, and they would be crushed instantly.

However, many of the Gong Clan’s powers closely resembled those of Evil entities.

Their mental and spiritual strength was formidable, with all their powers leaning towards these aspects. They did not have a natural instinct to devour living beings, but consuming flesh could enhance their cultivation.

The Gong Clan clan was extremely powerful, with rumors of seventh-tier Open Heaven Realm experts within their ranks, though they have been dormant for many years.

Whether they have perished or are genuinely in slumber is unknown to outsiders.

However, the mere existence of such an unknown Open Heaven Realm expert is enough to make foreign races cautious.

Moreover, aside from this Open Heaven Realm expert, the Gong Clan clan also had many Sixth Stage Emperor Realm experts, maintaining the clan’s operations without issue.

Chen Fei frowned as he looked around. Previously, the Gong Clan and the human race had maintained a peaceful coexistence, so why would they suddenly attack Sky Sea City and even the Sky Resonance Court?

This morning, the feeling from the Indestructible Vision had been somewhat strange.

Chen Fei was puzzled, sensing that a higher power might be concealing the truth.

On a whim, he left his room. The feeling from the Indestructible Vision improved slightly.

He was considering whether to find a reason to leave the Sky Resonance Court, but it seemed the danger had not lessened.

In the end, he chose this courtyard, which turned out to be the safest option among all his choices.

Chen Fei approached the bodies of other guards, now completely blackened, devoid of life. Even their mystic treasures had been tainted, their spiritual essence entirely gone.

This was the power of the Gong Clan—dark and corruptive. With a fifth-tier late-stage attack, and with only early-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners present, there was naturally no way to resist.

At this moment, a Gong Clan’s power was still rampaging within Chen Fei’s body.

Fortunately, it was only a remnant of their power, without a fundamental source. Chen Fei relied on the Indestructible Vision’s properties to forcibly counteract it.

By continuously absorbing and expelling the void’s vital energy, Chen Fei barely managed to suppress the power.

However, he could only suppress it; a trace of blackness remained that he couldn’t fully eradicate and had to keep under control.

The Indestructible Vision’s ability to feign death was quite effective, even deceiving a fifth-tier late-stage opponent.

Moreover, when the enemy was consuming essence earlier, Chen Fei had deliberately dispersed his own essence to make his feigned death even more convincing.

Fortunately, Chen Fei had noticed the anomaly and stored all his mystic treasures within his body, preventing their corruption.

Otherwise, everyone from the Tianling Pendant would have been doomed.

Chen Fei touched a nearby mystic treasure, which trembled slightly before turning to dust and vanishing.

The Gong Clan did not use mystic treasures; in fact, human mystic treasures were useless to them and were better off consumed for their spiritual essence.

Chen Fei had hoped to salvage something but saw no opportunity for that now.

He stood up and looked into the distance.

The Gong Clan’s power pervaded the entire Sky Resonance Court, and Chen Fei’s visibility was limited to less than a mile.

The Sky Resonance Court’s formations were still violently shaking, indicating that the battle was ongoing. Not just Sky Resonance Court, but the entire Sky Sea City was in conflict.

The city’s Lord, at the pinnacle of the Sixth Stage Emperor Realm and master of causal laws, should have foreseen this situation.

Chen Fei’s mind involuntarily recalled the last invasion by the Ice Clan from the Boundless Sea.

During that time, the Ice Clan’s Emperor seemed intent on luring the Sky Sea City Lord away from the Boundless Sea realm, only to be discovered in the end.

Why would there be a deliberate attempt to lure the Sky Sea City Lord away?

Various speculations swirled in Chen Fei’s mind, and he shook his head, dismissing the thoughts.

Considering them further was futile at this point.

Chen Fei returned to his previous position and lay down again, allowing his presence to fade.

The forces involved were too strong for his small frame to handle. Given the situation, it was better to wait for the situation to develop before making further decisions.

Running around in this Evil fog would not only make it impossible to find an exit but also risk encountering other dangers.

Unless there were a significant number of casualties among the sixth-tier human experts, a city like Sky Sea would be unlikely to be abandoned by the human race. Otherwise, not only would their living spaces decrease, but resources would also plummet.

In a vicious cycle, the probability of the emergence of strong human experts would decrease.

In contrast, individuals, especially those below the Sun Moon Realm, became secondary.

Because if there was a need for people, they could be recruited from the lower realms in whatever quantity required.

Losing land was far more severe than losing people.

This principle might differ somewhat in the Return to Nothing Realm, where losing territory could have more serious consequences than the loss of individuals.

Chen Fei was in the process of consolidating his essence, energy, and spirit when suddenly a tremendous force swept across the sky above the Sky Resonance Court. The boundless power tore through the black fog enveloping the entire mansion in an instant.

Not only was the Sky Resonance Court affected, but the entire Evil fog over Sky Sea City was also shredded.

“Dao Yuefeng, what are you doing in Sky Sea City? Weren’t you trapped in the Cliff Realm?”

A voice of shock and anger echoed throughout Sky Sea City, causing Chen Fei to open his eyes in surprise.

Dao Yuefeng, the Lord of Sky Sea City, had just been on Chen Fei’s mind. He had been wondering where Dao Yuefeng was, given the Gong Clan’s intrusion. It turned out Dao Yuefeng had arrived.

“The Cliff Realm was too tough for me to break through, so I had to return to Sky Sea City obediently. I didn’t expect to have such distant guests,” Dao Yuefeng said with a faint smile.

Above Sky Sea City, several figures surrounded the area, trapping three individuals within.

“What a ruthless plan, to use the entire Sky Sea City as a trap to lure us in. Truly worthy of a human Emperor!”

Yu Zhonggong’s expression was grim as he looked around. There were eight human Emperors present, and another one was inside Sky Sea City, clearing out the experts from the Ice Clan and the Gong Clan.

The initial plan was to occupy Sky Sea City and also kill the Sky Resonance Court’s late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert to prevent the humans from gaining another Emperor. Instead, the situation had turned out as it did.

“If it weren’t for your treacherous intentions, we wouldn’t be in this position. Given the current state, don’t harbor any illusions!” Dao Yuefeng said with a slight shake of his head.

“This time, we’ve failed. If you have any conditions, you can state them! If we are truly killed, a full-scale war between the human race and the Ice Clan and Gong Clan will ensue. The human race will not have it easy!” Yu Zhonggong said, his face pale with fear.

However, Yu Zhonggong’s words were not entirely empty threats. If the three of them were killed, the Ice Clan and Gong Clan would undoubtedly retaliate fiercely, plunging the human borders into chaos.

Dao Yuefeng glanced at Yu Zhonggong and the other two, then looked at the current state of Sky Sea City, which was devastated by the surprise attack from the Ice Clan and Gong Clan. Many lives had already been lost.

“Kill!”

Dao Yuefeng’s command was delivered with a low growl, indicating he preferred actions over words.

“You…”

Yu Zhonggong’s eyes widened as he saw the eight human Emperors unleash their rule powers, pressing down on the three of them.

The Emperors stood at the pinnacle of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, each controlling a complete set of rules.

Now, with eight rules connected together, the space above Sky Sea City was instantly frozen.

Chen Fei lay on the ground, observing the scene above with his peripheral vision. The power of the Emperors was vividly displayed before him.

“Ah, the Ice Clan will never forgive you!”

With Yu Zhonggong’s roar, his voice abruptly ceased, followed by the fall of another Ice Clan Emperor, who met the same fate as Yu Zhonggong.

In an instant, two of the three alien Emperors were eliminated, leaving only the Gong Clan Emperor.

The blackness on the Gong Clan Emperor’s body was being worn away by the rules, and death was imminent.

“Kill me, and you will face the wrath of our ancestors. The human race will be wiped out!” Lan Lun’s spirit erupted with a fierce cry.

Dao Yuefeng and the other eight paused slightly. While the Ice Clan and human race had their strongest experts at the Sixth Stage Emperor Realm, the Gong Clan had an unknown seventh-tier Open Heaven Realm expert.
