Chapter 689: Destroy

“How dare you!”

The voice of the artifact spirit roared, and the energy of heaven and earth in the entire cave began to reverse, lightning flashed in the sky, and it suddenly turned pitch black, as if it were the end of the world.

In front of the main hall, countless twisted shadows began to appear, but in the blink of an eye, they became densely packed.

A chilling breath surged out, occupying the entire peak.

Whispers echoed in Chen Fei’s ears, at first very faint, but as it progressed, various murmurs mixed together, turning into curses.

Men, women, old, and young, various tones mixed together, sometimes high, sometimes low, as if they were trying to pierce people’s eardrums or even suck their brains dry.

“Silence!”

Chen Fei’s eyes lifted slightly, a low shout mixed with the power of his mind and soul swept out, and the lofty murmurs disappeared in an instant.

The shadows ahead were all Evils, and Chen Fei was too familiar with the aura of these Evils.

In the Strange Heart Realm, the Dream Shadow Stone naturally could capture these Evils within itself.

This was originally just a precautionary measure taken by the Dream Shadow Stone, and the Dream Shadow Stone had never thought that it would be used one day.

After all, these Evils were useless against the Mountain Sea Realm, and for the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, the Dream Shadow Stone’s spirit could handle them on its own, until it encountered Chen Fei, a completely unreasonable human.

The Evils began to rush towards Chen Fei. None of these Evils were below the third rank, and most of them were even at the late third rank or higher, with quite a few at the peak of the third rank.

Chen Fei remained unfazed. If he were in the Strange Heart Realm, facing such a tide of Evils, he would choose to temporarily evade their edge, because in the environment of the Strange Heart Realm, Evils were at their strongest in terms of both strength and recovery.

But this wasn’t the Strange Heart Realm. The Dream Shadow Cave couldn’t provide the uniquely advantageous environment of the Strange Heart Realm, so the power of these Evils naturally decreased significantly.

Within Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness, his mental energy circulated, countless strands of mental power intertwined, forming the appearance of the Profound Slaying Sword outside of Chen Fei’s body.

It wasn’t the Mirror Image Profound Slaying Sword. Although the Mirror Image Profound Slaying Sword didn’t harm the mind, its power was weak because it was just a projection. Normally, it wouldn’t have any problem dealing with a Third-Tier Evil.

Facing so many Evils, the Mirror Image Profound Slaying Sword simply wouldn’t have enough time to slay them all. Chen Fei estimated that he would be overwhelmed by these Evils.

With Chen Fei’s current mental strength after reaching the Three Flowers Converging at the Crown, and more importantly, with the support of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Soul Tempering and the Suppressing Dragon Elephant Spirit Tempering, his power had greatly increased.

The aftermath of the collision between these mental energies was already unable to cause any significant impact on Chen Fei.

108 strands of mental energy wove together to form the Profound Slaying Sword, and in just a moment, there were already over a hundred of them.

With such a number of Profound Slaying Swords, slaying so many Third-Tier Evils still posed an extreme challenge. In the end, Chen Fei’s mental energy might even be depleted.

Looking ahead, the number of Evils was far more than just a hundred.

Chen Fei’s gaze became stern, and the sound of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant roaring echoed in his sea of consciousness, causing his mental energy to tremble violently.

The 108 Profound Slaying Swords floated up and down behind Chen Fei, and a radiance burst out from one of the Profound Slaying Swords, merging into another one. In just a moment, all 108 Profound Slaying Swords were interconnected.

The Profound Slaying Swords trembled and converged towards each other, following the formation of the Profound Slaying Sword array, and astonis.h.i.+ngly continued to merge.

A terrifying momentum pervaded the surroundings, causing the energy of heaven and earth to boil.

Black lightning flashed within the 108 Profound Slaying Swords, accompanied by a dull sound, and a completely black Extreme Profound Slaying Sword appeared in front of Chen Fei.

Such extreme fusion posed an undoubtedly terrifying challenge to the control of the mind. A slight mistake could tear one’s own mind apart due to immense pressure, even before harming others.

However, with the Suppressing Dragon Elephant as a backup, Chen Fei appeared extremely bold at this moment.

The Qianyuan Sword appeared in Chen Fei’s hand, the hilt vanished, and the broken ruler integrated into the sword grid, while the completely black Extreme Profound Slaying Sword covered the blade.

A black radiance circulated on the Qianyuan Sword as Chen Fei stepped backward with his right foot, then charged straight into the midst of the Evil’s encirclement.

“Chi!”

The sword sliced through a Third-Tier Evil. The Evil’s body trembled slightly, its mouth opened as if to roar, but it didn’t have the chance. In an instant, it burst apart, turning into a wisp of Negative energy and disappearing.

Normal Evils could continuously regenerate, requiring continuous attacks to completely erode them.

However, now, under Chen Fei’s attacks that were both physical and spiritual, they crumbled at the slightest touch, denying them any chance of recovery. Moreover, the consumption of the Extreme Profound Slaying Sword within the Qianyuan Sword was minimal, almost negligible.

As for the backlash between mental energies, due to the extreme stability of the Extreme Profound Slaying Sword at this moment, it didn’t burden Chen Fei’s mind much.

Chen Fei’s footsteps danced, evading an Evil’s attack. The Qianyuan Sword in his hand swept backward, slas.h.i.+ng across the neck of the Evil.

The head of the Evil soared into the sky, the madness in its eyes vanished, and then it fell into silence.

One step, one kill, even one step, three kills. Chen Fei charged into the midst of the Evil group, strolling as if in a leisurely garden. With each swing of his sword, an Evil would inevitably disperse.

The Dream Shadow Cave’s artifact spirit regarded these Evils as a last resort, but the pressure they imposed on Chen Fei, despite their large numbers, was not much greater than that posed by the dozens of Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts.

Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts possessed numerous techniques and understood how to coordinate with each other. The peak power of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm indeed could threaten Chen Fei. If Chen Fei made even a slight mistake, it could lead to irreparable consequences.

However, these Evils had extremely simplistic methods and could only attack Chen Fei’s mind.

Yet, Chen Fei’s current mental strength was greatly enhanced by the power of his soul, far surpa.s.sing what a Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert would have. Even if these Evils managed to attack him, they would find it futile against Chen Fei.

For a group of Evils that were nearly insurmountable for other Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts, they were as inconsequential as chickens and dogs in Chen Fei’s hands, dissipating dozens of them in an instant.

Although Evils continued to emerge in front of the main hall, they couldn’t keep up with Chen Fei’s killing speed. The Evils in front of the hall were dissipating at a visible rate.

At this rate, it seemed that within less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei would be able to slaughter the Evils before him, and then lie could directly pa.s.s the test and take control of the Dream Shadow Cave.

The artifact spirit of the Dream Shadow Cave watched the scene in front of the hall in silence. Despite repeatedly raising its estimation of this human, it found that its so-called estimations had no effect on the human before it.

So many Third-Tier Evils were being slaughtered by this human as easily as chickens and ducks, and even causing harm to this human seemed impossible.

Among minds of the same rank, collisions would cause damage, yet this human’s mind remained as unyielding as dark iron.

Should this human be recognized as the master?

In the depths of the cave, the eyes of the artifact spirit burst with glaring light. After waiting for thousands of years, it wasn’t about recognizing anyone as master; it was about transcending, about forging its own path.

In a certain part of the Strange Heart Realm, the Dream Shadow Stone erupted with a huge fluctuation, which seemed extremely abrupt in the completely desolate environment of the Strange Heart Realm.

A Fourth-Tier Evil lurking nearby was attracted by the fluctuation emitted by the Dream Shadow Stone and began to rush toward it.

The Dream Shadow Stone looked at the Fourth-Tier Evil before it, and a pa.s.sage opened towards this Fourth-Tier Evil. Even if it meant consuming a large amount of essence, harming its own body, or even burning itself out completely, it would lure this Fourth-Tier Evil into the Dream Shadow Cave and slay that human.

“You are invincible among the Third-Tier, but how will you fare against a Fourth-Tier Evil!”

The strength displayed by this human at this moment, positioned at the threshold between the third and fourth ranks, definitely hadn’t truly reached the fourth rank. Faced with a Fourth-Tier Evil, death was inevitable.

Within the Strange Heart Realm, the Fourth-Tier Evil sensed the aura outside the pa.s.sage, belonging to the outside world.

Without any hesitation, the Fourth-Tier Evil followed the pa.s.sage, beginning to transmit its power.

Advancing further from the fourth rank was possible within the Strange Heart Realm, but it was extremely difficult. However, in the outside world, with so many living beings, their flesh and blood could rapidly promote its growth.

Naturally, there were risks involved, but compared to the progress in strength, they were insignificant.

The Fourth-Tier Evil had already freed itself from the madness and chaos imposed by the Strange Heart Realm, gained its own wisdom, and had a fundamental difference from other Evils. It understood better what it needed.

In front of the main hall of the Dream Shadow Cave, Chen Fei had slaughtered over half of the Third-Tier Evils and was about to continue his slaughter when he suddenly felt a sense of palpitation.

Chen Fei looked up, and a ma.s.sive crack formed in front of the s.h.i.+eld of the main hall, with a terrifying force surging from the other end.

Chen Fei narrowed his eyes slightly. He had sensed this kind of power within the Strange Heart Realm before, and every time he encountered it, he would quietly move away.

Otherwise, if he got entangled even slightly, his mind would probably be stripped bare before he could leave the Strange Heart Realm.

And now, the artifact spirit of the Dream Shadow Cave had summoned this level of Evil from within the Strange Heart Realm.

“Human, either leave or die!”

The voice of the artifact spirit exploded in Chen Fei’s ears. It harbored extreme hatred towards this human who not only dared to challenge its authority but was now also consuming its essence relentlessly.

Chen Fei remained silent, watching the continuing influx of Third-Tier Evils around him. He planted the Qianyuan Sword in the ground.

“Hum!”

A violent mental severance emanated from the Qianyuan Sword as its center, spreading in all directions. More than twenty of the closest Third-Tier Evils couldn’t help but pause, then dissolved into Negative energy and disappeared.

Chen Fei pulled out the Qianyuan Sword from the ground, and with a sweeping motion, a ma.s.sive black sword energy that seemed to connect heaven and earth flew out, cutting down the dozen or so Evils in front of Chen Fei.

With just two moves, there were originally dozens of Evils left, but now there were only around ten remaining.

Chen Fei stepped down with his right foot, and where his foot landed, the ground rippled like the surface of water. In the next moment, Chen Fei transformed into over a dozen phantoms, appearing in front of those remaining Evils.

With a single sword strike, the remaining Evils didn’t even have the strength to resist. They instantly exploded into Negative energy and disappeared.

As the dozen or so phantoms of Chen Fei vanished, his true form appeared on the ground. Chen Fei lightly tapped the ground with the Qianyuan Sword, and the formation diagram of the Heart Refinement Formation appeared.

The dispersed Negative energy was drawn into the Heart Refinement Formation, while Chen Fei took steps towards the ma.s.sive crack in front of the main hall.

The aura emanating from the crack was as catastrophic as an avalanche and a tsunami combined!
