Chapter 1084: Chapter 1040: Invulnerable to All Laws

“`

Chen Fei’s gaze swept around, but he still couldn’t find any trace of that Gui Clan cultivator in the Rule Integration Realm, which caused him a bit of surprise.

Given Chen Fei’s true number of thirty s.p.a.ce Secondary Rule Fragments and the Qianyuan Sword at the Perfection Stage, it was impossible for anyone in the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm to elude his perception.

Unless, this Gui Clan cultivator in the Rule Integration Realm had truly disappeared.

Or perhaps it should be put another way, this Gui Clan cultivator existed in the Ice Corridor in another form.

Chen Fei retracted his gaze from the distance and looked at the vital energy of heaven and earth which was starting to become chaotic, while the murmuring in his ears grew louder and louder.

“Could this be a connection to the Strange Heart Realm?”

Every detail within the Ice Corridor caught Chen Fei’s eye; he slightly furrowed his brow as he looked toward a spatial fold in the distance.

At that moment, the vital energy of heaven and earth was in turmoil, and the most severe case was this spatial fold.

The Strange Heart Realm—Chen Fei had already come into contact with it in the Immortal Cloud City at the land’s boundary.

In the past, Chen Fei thought that it was unique to The Endless Sea, but after arriving in the Return to Nothing Realm, he learned that the true origin of the Strange Heart Realm might be in the Return to Nothing Realm.

Return to Nothing—as the name suggested, it already hinted at certain issues.

In the Boundless Sea plane, aside from a small number of cultivators, most people would not intentionally explore the Strange Heart Realm.

Because aside from the eerie creatures, the resources within the Strange Heart Realm that could be utilized by cultivators were actually very limited.

The eerie creatures did have an origin, but absorbing too much of the eerie creature source could cause problems for the cultivators themselves.

All sorts of seemingly foolproof secret techniques for cleanly extracting the eerie creature source later proved to have flaws; almost none who absorbed too much eerie creature source ended up well.

The Strange Heart Realm in the lower realms is more like a projection of the Return to Nothing Realm’s Strange Heart Realm.

If cultivators in the lower realm’s Strange Heart Realm were merely reluctant to engage with it, then the Strange Heart Realm in the Return to Nothing Realm was a truly forbidden place.

Among the human race, Chen Fei had never heard of anyone who cultivated through the Strange Heart Realm.

Not only because the Strange Heart Realm was dangerous, but also because it was actually very difficult to enter.

You might sense the Strange Heart Realm, but the difficulty of stepping into it with mental defense or soul was immense; even those in the Rule Integration Realm found it challenging.

Now, the vital energy of heaven and earth within the Ice Corridor had become visibly grey, and Chen Fei felt as if he had come to the Strange Heart Realm—that world of only black and white.

Outside Jiguang City, the human cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm all furrowed their brows tightly; Chen Fei, being inside the Ice Corridor, couldn’t see the situation behind him, while they, being on the outside, could see what every Ice Race and Gui Clan cultivator in the Rule Integration Realm was doing.

When Chen Fei had forcibly killed Xi Xiao and was breaking through Duan Ga’s formations, the last Gui Clan cultivator in the Rule Integration Realm, Si Di, had already begun to tear himself apart and ultimately made a connection to the Strange Heart Realm.

Seeing no possibility of Duan Ga’s victory and not knowing how to defeat Chen Fei, Si Di simply took a ‘Jade and Stone Burning’ approach in the end.

He let the power of the Strange Heart Realm contaminate Chen Fei, robbing this human prodigy of all potential.

Cultivators at the Rule Integration Realm find it difficult to enter the Strange Heart Realm, and none would choose to go there, as even the power of the Rule Integration Realm couldn’t withstand the erosion from the Strange Heart Realm.

Compared to the Strange Heart Realm in the Return to Nothing Realm, the one in the lower realm plane was like child’s play; there was no comparison between the two.

At this moment, Si Di was not yet dead; he was in a very peculiar state.

Si Di didn’t use the power from tearing himself apart to forcibly open a channel between reality and the Strange Heart Realm; such a feat, even for someone at the Emperor Realm, would likely be impossible.

Si Di had cleverly opened a crack through a form of sacrifice.

A majority of cultivators were curious about the Strange Heart Realm and wished to utilize its immense power, which led to the emergence of various unconventional secret techniques.

However, the Strange Heart Realm was called a forbidden place for a reason; those techniques that could make use of the Strange Heart Realm, without exception, all had severe drawbacks.

Just like Si Di’s current sacrifice: the crack to the Strange Heart Realm was opened only for a moment, and it beckoned forth a wisp of power from the Strange Heart Realm, but Si Di himself was doomed from that point.

Thoroughly destined to perish together with his adversary, at best he would die slightly later than his foe, perhaps only after seeing his opponent destroyed by the power of the Strange Heart Realm.

The mad whispering in Chen Fei’s ears grew louder, and the vital energy of heaven and earth inside the Ice Corridor was completely polluted; absorbing this vital energy was akin to consuming poison.

“Hiss!”

Sounds akin to corrosion spread throughout the surroundings; even the Ice Corridor created by the Ice Race Emperor Ao An was being eroded by the power of the Strange Heart Realm.

“Are you ready to embrace death?”

Somehow, a figure appeared up ahead, made entirely of black and grey mist—it was Si Di, who had vanished.

Chen Fei looked at Si Di; in this black and grey mist, Chen Fei couldn’t feel any sign of life, and Si Di was in an extremely weird state at the moment.

“Whoos.h.!.+”

Chen Fei swung the Qianyuan Sword, and a sword mark pa.s.sed through Si Di’s body, causing no effect whatsoever.

“`

“Ha ha ha ha!” Si Di burst into a mad laughter, watching the grey fog surge towards Chen Fei.

Vital energy of heaven and earth could not be absorbed, and though the Ice Corridor was corroded, it was, after all, a power of the Emperor Realm, and the power from the Strange Heart Realm was somewhat lacking; hence the Ice Corridor could still hold on for a long time.

In the end, Chen Fei had nowhere to hide and no way to go, he was bound to be completely corrupted by the power of the Strange Heart Realm, to depart this life ahead of the rest.

At this moment, Si Di wanted nothing more than to watch Chen Fei’s futile resistance, his wild struggle, and ultimately his inevitable demise.

Chen Fei looked at the dark grey fog, his figure flas.h.i.+ng and disappearing from its original spot, reappearing tens of miles behind in the next instant.

However, this was already the limit, and soon he would even be forced to move forward as the Ice Corridor continued to shrink.

Should he be swept by the power of the Ice Corridor, although it was not as exaggerated as being struck directly by an Emperor, Chen Fei would certainly sustain severe injuries.

The speed of the surging dark grey fog became faster and faster, sweeping over with an overwhelming momentum.

This kind of self-sacrificing connection to the Strange Heart Realm, in a normal battle, actually has a very significant drawback.

Other cultivators of the Rule Integration Realm, upon sensing something amiss, would definitely flee immediately, and these outflows of the Strange Heart Realm’s power would soon be a.s.similated by the Return to Nothing Realm, and then disappear.

But now, in this closed environment, these powers from the Return to Nothing Realm would eventually vanish as well, but before disappearing, they were enough to corrode all living beings around them.

Chen Fei stood in mid-air, flipping the Qianyuan Sword, and in an instant, thousands of sword energies stretched across the sky and slashed toward the dark grey fog.

“It’s useless, all of it is useless. Just wait quietly for your death,” Si Di mocked when he saw Chen Fei’s move.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The sword energies pa.s.sed through the fog like they were moving through an illusion, then collided with the barrier of the Ice Corridor, resulting in loud booming noises.

It wouldn’t be accurate to say it was completely futile; the sword energies could eliminate some of the fog, but there was too little of the sword energy, and in essence, it was far less than the power of the Strange Heart Realm.

Thus, the sword energies did not dissolve much of the black fog. On the contrary, they were corroded and devoured by the black fog, turning into even more dark mist.

Chen Fei’s brows furrowed slightly, and he took another look around. The black fog had not yet surged over, but the vital energy of heaven and earth had already mutated.

With his divine power Indestructible Vision in operation, Chen Fei began to absorb the void energy, while the Eternal Night Manifestation appeared, enveloping his entire being.

“Hiss-hiss!”

Weird murmurs constantly tried to penetrate Chen Fei’s mind, but all were easily blocked by him.

At the same time, wisps of black fog had already reached the outside of the Eternal Night Manifestation, beginning to infiltrate and contaminate it, attempting to turn Chen Fei into the same dark fog.

The divine power Indestructible Vision, once claimed to withstand All Laws Do Not Perish, naturally had some exaggeration.

However, as long as it wasn’t an instant destruction type of power, Indestructible Vision indeed could provide extremely strong protection.

Chen Fei had intended to expand the s.p.a.ce around him to slow the encroachment of the black fog, only to find that the black fog directly corroded the essence force outside of the s.p.a.ce Rules, causing the expanded s.p.a.ce to collapse immediately.

Wanting to control the s.p.a.ce Rules, the medium was Chen Fei’s own essence force and soul. Without the elemental power and soul, naturally, he could not successfully control the s.p.a.ce Rules.

Chen Fei sensed the status of the Eternal Night Manifestation; the power within was being rapidly depleted, but Chen Fei could draw from the void energy, so for the moment there was no lack of essence force.

Of course, the most formidable power of the Strange Heart Realm was aimed at corrupting the soul, and this type of corrosion acted upon one’s very soul.

Those mad murmurs were one manifestation of the soul corruption; there was no escaping them. Unless you immediately left the area, even if your ears went deaf, you would still hear these murmurs.

Compared to the black fog, these murmurs posed the least threat to Chen Fei.

Not to mention that Indestructible Vision could freely convert Chen Fei’s essence, energy, spirit, and soul, but just the all-direction defense granted by the Celestial Suppression alone could completely isolate such soul-targeting attacks from the outside.

Celestial Suppression had cultivated the rule of strength within Chen Fei’s physique. It did not cultivate mental power, nor the soul, but everything within his physique provided protection.

No matter whether you attacked Chen Fei’s body or his soul, in the end, it was the physique forged by Celestial Suppression that bore it all.

With the soul untroubled, and because he could draw void elemental force, the Eternal Night Manifestation was entirely capable of holding up.

Chen Fei found that there seemed to be no need to specifically reveal Celestial Suppression; relying on Indestructible Vision, he could actually block the erosion of this bit of Strange Heart Realm’s power.

Chen Fei’s current position was completely enveloped by the black fog.

Si Di stood in the distance, watching Chen Fei, waiting for the barrier around Chen Fei’s body to shatter, followed by heart-wrenching cries; he was waiting for this moment.

As time pa.s.sed by, the Eternal Night Manifestation remained stable.

Si Di’s face, which was previously entertained, slowly started to change; the screams he was waiting for did not come, and Chen Fei showed no sign of weakening.

Instead, it was Si Di himself who began to feel a kind of weakness, an indefinable fatigue—he was about to die for real.

But Chen Fei, how was he still unharmed!
