Chapter 784: Splitting Heaven and Earth....

The entrance to the Stone Forest Canyon was narrow, but as they ventured deeper into the canyon, it became increasingly s.p.a.cious. At its widest point, it was about ten meters wide.

Inside the canyon, a black mist swirled, significantly reducing visibility compared to the outside.

Zhao Ruizheng and his three companions didn’t rush in; instead, they cautiously proceeded forward.

After a quarter of an hour, they had ventured over four kilometers into the canyon, yet they hadn’t seen any trace of monsters, as if the creatures inside had been completely cleared out.

Furrowing his brow slightly, Zhao Ruizheng pondered. While many people visited the Stone Forest Canyon regularly, the monsters inside were often cleared out.

However, the speed at which the Mountain Sea Realm cleared the barrier was fast but the rate of monster appearances wasn’t slow either.

Recently, everyone had noticed that they hadn’t encountered any monsters below the Fourth-Tier.

This wasn’t because all the monsters appearing within the barrier started at the Fourth-Tier, but rather because all the newly born monsters had congregated deep within the barrier.

Only when monsters reached the Fourth-Tier would they begin to venture outward.

This strategy employed by the Black Divine Barrier made it increasingly difficult for both the Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners and the Monster Kings to clear out monsters, yet there wasn’t a better solution.

Initially, the Black Divine Barrier was filled with monsters everywhere.

Now, the deeper they went, the more monsters they encountered, and the stronger they became.

Just now, the four of them had slain several monsters, which, in the context of the entire Stone Forest Canyon, meant nothing at all. They shouldn’t have ventured over two kilometers into the canyon and still not seen a single monster. “Stop, let’s turn back!”

After walking for over a mile without encountering a single monster, Zhao Ruizheng suddenly raised his hand, halting his companions, including Chen

Fei. “There seems to be a change in the Stone Forest Canyon. We don’t need to take unnecessary risks. Let’s go!”

Though Zhao Ruizheng’s soul hadn’t sensed any danger for the moment, the current situation in the canyon was obviously unusual. Zhao Ruizheng didn t want to take any risks, nor did he see any need to.

Chen Fei and the other two didn’t object, following Zhao Ruizheng as they orderly retreated towards the entrance of the canyon.

As they retreated over a mile, Chen Fei suddenly looked up, gazing into the depths of the canyon, where a slight ripple was spreading from within the black mist.

Ordinary people wouldn’t discern much from such a subtle ripple within the black mist, as the suppression of perception within the barrier was too severe.

However, within Chen Fei’s mental map, this faint ripple traced back to its source. Based on the terrain he had seen along the way, Chen Fei immediately grasped a scene over a mile away. “There are a lot of monsters, run!”

Chen Fei shouted, grabbing Tang Shouchang beside him, and dashed towards the exit of the canyon.

Zhao Ruizheng hesitated for a moment, but without any hesitation or doubt, he also grabbed Zhao Tianyue beside him and rushed towards the area near the entrance of the canyon. “Buzz!”

The fluctuations of the black mist throughout the canyon became more frequent. In Chen Fei’s mental map, there were at least dozens of black dots rus.h.i.+ng towards them from behind, all of which were monsters.

Ahead of these monsters were several smaller white dots, with a huge difference in size compared to the monsters and completely different running styles.

Thus, the changes in the black mist they caused were also different, all of which were captured by Chen Fei in an instant.

Heavenly Eye was only integrated into one kind of soul-based technique, and its tracking ability in the Mountain Sea Realm wasn’t too strong.

However, the ability to deduce the entire situation based on these subtle details, under the fusion of dozens of techniques in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, had already reached an extreme level. in the heavily suppressed situation of the Black Divine Barrier, it suddenly demonstrated great advantages.

Of course, this deduction could only be made based on the terrain Chen Fei had seen. Creating something out of nothing wasn’t possible.

Although the distance of over four kilometers couldn’t be traversed as exaggeratedly fast as in the Mountain Sea Realm, given the current speed of Chen Fei and his companions, it wasn’t considered long.

But Chen Fei and his companions were fast, yet the Mountain Sea Realm experts and monsters behind them were even faster. When they were still over a mile away from the entrance of the canyon, the pursuers caught up.

The commotion from behind was too significant; Chen Fei didn’t need to remind them. Zhao Ruizheng and the other two had already sensed it.

Even though there wasn’t much sound, the oppressive atmosphere had already surged towards them, causing Tang Shouchang and Zhao Tianyue’s faces to instantly turn pale.

Even Zhao Ruizheng’s expression became extremely serious at this moment.

If they were blocked by the monsters behind them, even he would be overwhelmed by these monsters. If there were mid-level Fourth-Tier monsters among them, he might not even feel much pain. “Friends ahead, let’s intercept these monsters together, or none of us will be able to escape later!”

A voice came from behind, clearly from those Mountain Sea Realm experts being chased by the monsters. Seeing Chen Fei and his group, they couldn’t help but speak out.

Upon hearing the words from behind, both Chen Fei and Zhao Ruizheng didn t slow down at all but ran towards the entrance of the canyon at an even faster pace.

What a joke. There were dozens of monsters behind them, and it was unclear what specific tiers they were.

At this point, leaving the four of them behind would only serve to make the monsters even more satisfied, wouldn’t it?

Seeing that the four ahead showed no intention of stopping, Xiao Qiping and his group looked grim. The entrance of the canyon was very close, but the monsters behind them were already close on their heels. Before they could exit the canyon, they would be caught by the monsters. just as Chen Fei and his group ran out of the Stone Forest Canyon, there was a loud noise from behind, accompanied by roars.

Without even sparing a glance back at the monsters, Chen Fei and his companions continued to run towards the path they came from.

Facing those monsters, it wasn’t just a matter of getting out of the canyon; they needed to reach the city walls at least to be somewhat safer.

After running for a while longer, Chen Fei and his companions finally saw the outline of the distant city walls, which slightly eased their minds.

A moment later, they stepped onto the city wall and reported the situation they encountered in the Stone Forest Canyon to Luo Xiaofeng. Whether to send someone to rescue the people they encountered earlier would be decided by Luo

Xiaofeng.

Upon hearing Chen Fei’s report, Luo Xiaofeng frowned slightly but ultimately sent a team to a.s.sist those people.

The distance from here to the Stone Forest Canyon wasn’t far, and every person rescued counted, as they were all living forces resisting the Black Divine. “In this barrier, one wrong move could mean death!” Tang Shouchang muttered under his breath from atop the city wall.

The stark contrast between how smoothly they initially killed the monsters and the terror they felt when they saw dozens of monsters swarming towards them was overwhelming, leaving them at a loss. “Today’s situation is rather unusual. Those people must have discovered something to be attacked by a group of monsters!” Zhao Ruizheng shookhis head.

The Stone Forest Canyon was already considered a relatively peripheral area, where encountering so many monsters wasn’t normal. “It’s a good thing Brother Chen noticed it early!” Zhao Ruizheng looked at

Chen Fei.

If it weren’t for Chen Fei urging them to run, they might have had monsters on their tails by the time they realized something was wrong.

Four or five kilometers might not seem long, but in that situation, it meant the difference between life and death. “It’s just luck!” Chen Fei waved his hand dismissively. “There’s no such thing as luck in situations like this.” Zhao Tianyue glanced at

Chen Fei, the thought of sizing up each other already gone. “So, what should we do next?”

Tang Shouchang glanced at Chen Fei, feeling fortunate that he had decided to follow Chen Fei. Otherwise, even with a mid-level Mountain Sea Realm expert, they would have died here in the end. “Let’s stay on the city wall. We’ve had some gains today,” Zhao Ruizheng suggested after some thought.

Without understanding the situation in the Stone Forest Canyon, it was definitely not safe to go there. As for going elsewhere, it was already getting late.

The Black Divine Barrier was even more dangerous under the cover of night, so it was better to stay within the safety of the city walls. “Sound good!”

Chen Fei and his companions nodded without any objections.

As Chen Fei and his group remained on the city wall, those who had gone out to a.s.sist also began to return.

In the crowd, someone glanced towards the direction of the city wall and then gestured in their direction. “The people are back, and there’s a mid-level Mountain Sea Realm expert among them.”

Zhao Ruizheng observed the people in the crowd. Compared to when they saw them in the canyon, about half of the people hadn’t returned. The outcome of those who didn’t return was already evident. “Will those people hold a grudge against us for not stopping? Perhaps we could’ve return ed without reporting it,” Tang Shouchang frowned. “Not reporting it is not an option. Otherwise, if even one of them returns, they could accuse us of concealing information, even if we weren’t at fault!” Zhao Ruizheng shook his head.

An hour later, Xiao Qiping and his group suddenly appeared on the city wall, bowing to Zhao Ruizheng and his group in grat.i.tude. “In the future, whenever there’s anything we can help with, please don’t hesitate to ask!”

Xiao Qiping looked at Chen Fei and his group earnestly. “If it weren’t for the timely appearance of the people who came to a.s.sist, the rest of us might not have survived.” “Of course.”

Zhao Ruizheng waved his hand and said, “At that time, we were simply not strong enough in the canyon, so we didn’t dare to stay. Please don’t blame us!” “Zhao, you’re being too modest!”

Xiao Qiping’s expression turned serious. “Given the situation at that time, it was indeed difficult for us to insist on you staying. There’s no way we would blame you. You’re being too hard on yourself, Zhao!” As Xiao Qiping spoke, he took out a fourth-tier spiritual material as a token of grat.i.tude, but Zhao Ruizheng politely declined it.

After both sides insisted for a while, Xiao Qiping eventually took back the spiritual material.

A moment later, Xiao Qiping and his group left. “It seems he’s a person with a clear sense of right and wrong,” Zhao Tianyue said with a smile.

Zhao Ruizheng looked at the departing figures of Xiao Qiping and his group, his brow furrowing slightly, but he didn’t respond.

As night fell, the entire Black Divine Barrier became extremely dark.

The fragments of souls drifting outside the city walls suddenly surged with hostility, then rushed towards the position of the city walls.

The night wind tousled Chen Fei’s hair, and the next moment, the surrounding city walls disappeared in an instant.

Looking around, Chen Fei found himself in Sea Dominion City, where Min Yanlu had fallen in battle, and the Monster King was besieging the city.

The monstrous roar of the Monster King resounded through the heavens and earth, terrifying everyone inside Sea Dominion City, who trembled in fear at the overwhelming pressure.

Chen Fei glanced at the Monster King, and a sharp golden light shot out from his eyes, slicing through the entire world.

Both the Monster King and Sea Dominion City vanished in an instant.

When Chen Fei opened his eyes again, he was still on the city wall.

The surrounding black mist began to churn, and a figure appeared, beginning to manifest endless talents.

Layers of insights appeared around Chen Fei’s body, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

While other Mountain Sea Realm experts might have mixed feelings about these insights, Chen Fei eagerly embraced them all!

Chen Fei waved his hand, dispersing the insights around him.

To directly absorb them without maximizing their quant.i.ty would be too little! As the black mist churned around him, the figure reappeared, and the quant.i.ty of insights increased.

With another wave of his hand, the figure and insights dissipated.

After a moment, the insights reappeared, reaching their maximum level. Chen Fei dispersed them once more, leaving nothing behind.

Thirty-six Xuanyuan Swords appeared in illusion, just like last night, connected from beginning to end. Chen Fei began to absorb the endless insights from these talents. “Boom!”

After a moment, the three Xuanyuan Swords at the forefront of the illusion turned pitch black and then disintegrated in an instant.

Whether it was because the barrier considered Chen Fei as half of its own or due to other reasons, compared to yesterday’s insights, the contamination contained in today’s insights had increased significantly.

There was no attempt at concealment anymore.

As a result, after filtering out the contamination, these three Xuanyuan Sword illusions couldn’t withstand it and dissipated.

However, for Chen Fei, as long as he needed, he could summon the Xuanyuan Sword illusions at any time, so their disappearance didn’t affect him.

On the interface, the proficiency in the Endless Regeneration had increased by a notch, taking another step towards the Great Completion stage.

Compared to Chen Fei’s personal cultivation, this speed of improvement was truly astonis.h.i.+ng!

But this wasn’t the crucial point. Chen Fei’s brow radiated light as he looked towards the outside of the city wall.

Just as Chen Fei had antic.i.p.ated, in his black and white vision, the distance and width he could see increased once again.

The blessing of the Black Divine Barrier on Chen Fei had been upgraded!
