Chapter 773: Turning the Guest into the Host

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei furrowed his brow. Would he have to stay here indefinitely if the altar across from him wasn’t activated?

They say it’s easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but it’s hard to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If Chen Fei had to leave for any reason and the altar suddenly activated, the entire Thousand Feathers Alliance would have no means to restrain its power.

“Report to those top-tier forces?”

A thought flashed through Chen Fei’s mind. It was one way to handle the situation, but if he did, then the essence of the altar’s monster would have little to do with him.

Chen Fei landed on the altar, his hand touching, sensing the fluctuation emanating from it.

To activate this altar, specific techniques were required. Even if Chen Fei wanted to charge across to the other side, he couldn’t do it right now.

Moreover, with Chen Fei’s current strength, he couldn’t actually reach the other side.

The last monster, although easily slain by Chen Fei, didn’t mean that only creatures of that level existed on the other side of the altar.

If Chen Fei dared to teleport over, he’d probably be surrounded in no time, making it difficult to escape. Having the talent for teleportation didn’t mean everything was worry-free.

Chen Fei stood up, retracting his hand. The altar had already gathered enough energy, but because it hadn’t been activated, the energy was currently strengthening the altar.

In other words, not only could that altar be activated at any time from the other side, but if it wasn’t activated, the altar was also becoming stronger. Next time, it might have been able to transport a Fourth-Tier intermediate-level monster in one go.

From the perspective of a Fourth-Tier early-level creature, the strength of those monsters was generally stronger than that of ordinary early-level creatures in the Mountain Sea Realm; only those at the early-level of the three Divine Palaces could contend with them.

If a Fourth-Tier intermediate-level monster had really come, Chen Fei probably wouldn’t have been able to handle it then.

Chen Fei lowered his head in thought. Essentially, all initiative was in the hands of the monsters on the other side.

That altar was protected by the power of s.p.a.ce, and ordinary means couldn’t destroy it. There was no capital to threaten the monsters on the other side.

“The power of s.p.a.ce?”

Chen Fei suddenly blinked. Wasn’t the new talent he had acquired related to the void?

The energy of the Boundless Sea couldn’t directly flow into the altar because of the spatial distance, but what if he had directly used the energy of the void?

With his talent continuing to grow, which he had now cultivated to a state of mastery, he could use it flexibly.

If he used his talent, directly channeling the energy of the void into this altar, what would happen?

Chen Fei looked down at the altar. It was currently being slowly reinforced with energy. If too much energy were suddenly infused, would it burst?

The radiance of the third Divine Palace within Chen Fei’s body s.h.i.+mmered. His talent, unceasing, activated, and the energy of the void didn’t pa.s.s through Chen Fei’s body but was directly stuffed into the altar by him.

If someone controlled the altar at this moment, this method of forcibly stuffing energy of the void could be easily stopped.

However, the altar in front of Chen Fei was just him alone. As for the monster on the other side of the altar, it was naturally impossible to control this side from such a distance.

As the void energy poured into the altar, the entire structure began to emit a faint glow. Faintly, it seemed as if the altar was directly connected to the other side because Chen Fei sensed a trace of the monster’s aura.

Chen Fei narrowed his eyes. Although it was just a trace of aura, it was mixed with many Fourth-Tier intermediate-level or higher creatures. Even though it was fleeting, Chen Fei sensed a terrifying aura.

Despite being momentary, it confirmed Chen Fei’s previous speculation. The monsters on the other side were numerous to an absurd degree, and their combat power was also absurdly high.

Chen Fei could sense them, and they should be able to sense him as well. It was mutual.

Chen Fei withdrew his perception and focused on channeling the energy of the void into the altar.

As time pa.s.sed, the glow of the altar grew brighter and the spatial fluctuations became stronger, as if it would be forcibly activated in the next moment.

Finally, the energy inside the entire altar reached its limit.

At this moment, Chen Fei not only sensed the aura from the other side of the altar but could even see a faint glimpse of the monsters’ figures, as if two s.p.a.ces had been forcibly connected.

Chen Fei felt a locking of the aura, precisely the same aura he had sensed before.

Expressionless, Chen Fei knew that if the other party was in the Boundless Sea, he could simply run away as far as possible.

However, with the separation of the two s.p.a.ces, the current size of this altar could only transport Fourth-Tier early-level monsters at most, and at most, it would only be able to transport a few more than last time.

To bring a Fourth-Tier intermediate-level monster over, this altar would have to burst.

For this aura locking that posed no threat to him, Chen Fei remained unperturbed.

In truth, when the time came for the other party to come over, n.o.body could predict what realm Chen Fei would be in.

Moreover, in the worst-case scenario, Chen Fei could simply destroy the altar before anything happened.

Previously, he didn’t have the ability, but now with his unceasing talent, Chen Fei had gained an additional option.

*Buzz!*

The altar trembled slightly, and a ripple spread out, causing the orderly changing lights on the altar to distort slightly.

Chen Fei looked up, his aura colliding with the aura from the other side.

The monsters with the altar on this side had already been detected by the monsters on the other side.

Chen Fei didn’t speak, but his meaning was very clear: quickly let the monsters come over to stop him, or else he would continue until he ultimately destroyed the altar.

The frequency of the altar’s tremors began to increase gradually. There was still some distance from it exploding, but if it continued like this, it was likely that the runes on the altar would be damaged.

By then, even if the altar didn’t break, its teleportation ability would likely decrease significantly.

*Buzz!*

Another ripple spread from the altar, but this time, it wasn’t because the altar was unstable; rather, it was because a dark figure appeared on the altar.

Seeing the dark figure, a hint of a smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face.

There were three dark figures in total, compared to the previous time when only two monsters could be transported at once, the ability of the altar had indeed been strengthened somewhat.

With this development trend, it was estimated that the next time, the altar would be able to transport Fourth-Tier intermediate-level monsters.

For Chen Fei to continue guarding this altar, he must elevate his cultivation to the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm before the next activation of the altar. Otherwise, if even two Fourth-Tier intermediate-level monsters were to come over from the other side, Chen Fei would have to flee.

The three dark figures on the altar quickly solidified, with wide mouths, fierce teeth, four arms each, and a single eye. Their heads sported sharp horns, and their appearance was not much different from the last time.

“Roar!”

The three monsters saw Chen Fei and roared angrily, unleas.h.i.+ng ma.s.sive sound waves.

In the next moment, the monsters appeared in front of Chen Fei, their huge wolf-tooth clubs smas.h.i.+ng down toward his head.

A beam of light emitted from Chen Fei’s forehead, and the surrounding world suddenly slowed down.

Although the three wolf-tooth clubs seemed powerful, their true force wasn’t aimed at killing Chen Fei but rather at trapping him in place.

Apparently, the monsters who managed to escape last time had informed the others of Chen Fei’s situation.

Direct attacks not only couldn’t kill Chen Fei but would lead to their own demise even faster, so they opted for confinement instead.

Chen Fei’s eyes flickered as he glanced in the direction of the altar, where another dark figure had appeared once again. However, there was only one dark figure this time, but whether in size or aura, it was much stronger than the three monsters before him.

Remaining in the realm of the fourth stage early-level, but within the same realm, the combat prowess varied greatly.

This applied to beasts, humans, and monsters alike.

Clearly, this later monster was the solution devised by the other side to deal with Chen Fei this time.

By trapping Chen Fei with three monsters, they ensured that another, stronger monster could come and finish the job!

It was a good plan, but among all species in the Mountain Sea Realm, humans were actually the strongest in terms of tactics and strategy.

Did the three monsters ask for Chen Fei’s opinion before attempting to trap him with force?

A golden light flew out from Chen Fei’s sleeve, instantly forming a huge bell­shaped light enveloping him.

The wolf-tooth clubs wielded by the three monsters contained rich variations of force to counter the tactics a human in the Mountain Sea Realm might use.

However, they hadn’t considered that this human might use spiritual treasures to directly collide with their weapons.

This was completely disregarding any response to their techniques, simply wanting to absorb the power from the wolf-tooth clubs.

It was even more brutal than when they faced enemies, as they would normally avoid their opponent’s weapons.

“Boom!”

The Concealment Bell was instantly reverted to its original form by the violent force of the wolf-tooth clubs, falling back into Chen Fei’s sleeve. The immense force rampaged through Chen Fei’s body, triggering the activation of his talent, Domain Suppression.

With the continuous cultivation of the Dragon-Taming Elephant, the range of Chen Fei’s Domain Suppression’s damage reduction had now reached thirty- five percent. The force of the three wolf-tooth clubs directly struck the thirty- five percent reduction point of his Domain Suppression.

Given Chen Fei’s current basic realm with the three Divine Palaces, coupled with the damage reduction from various techniques, the attacking force brought by the three monsters was indeed terrifying.

But unfortunately for them, Chen Fei’s tolerance for beatings was even higher. The pressure limit carried by his clone several tens of miles away hadn’t even been utilized yet.

“Roar!”

Chen Fei raised the Qianyuan Sword in his hand, the ma.s.sive roar of the Dragon Elephant overwhelming all other sounds around.

The sky was already covered in dark clouds, and in the next moment, an area within a mile radius transformed into a thunderous pool, where purple thunderbolt freely traversed.

A sword-shaped thunderbolt flashed within the thunderous pool. The auras of the three monsters instantly decreased by two, and at the same time, two streaks of red light soared into the sky, flying toward the position of the altar.

The shadow of the Xuanyuan Sword vanished in mid-air, and the souls of the two monsters were instantly slain.

Previously, Chen Fei had let the souls of the monsters escape back because he was unfamiliar with the situation, and he also wanted to ensure that the monsters would still have the courage to come over, so they wouldn’t be deterred by fear.

But judging from the aura of the other side of the altar just now, it was clearly a large army of monsters. Whether the souls of these monsters escaped back or not wouldn’t affect their decision to come over at all.

Since that was the case, Chen Fei naturally had no reason to show mercy.

Allowing them to escape first, letting the essence become purer, and then directly wiping out their souls with the Xuanyuan Sword.

As for collecting the souls of the monsters and taking them to top-tier sects in exchange for rewards, a single soul wouldn’t fetch any rewards.

In the thunderous pool, the remaining monster roared frantically.

Being slain was something the monsters were mentally prepared for when they were being transported over.

But to not even have their souls escape, indeed, it scared this monster greatly.

Being able to escape with their soul was a last resort, but to have even that route cut off?
