Chapter 901: Battling the Sun Moon Realm

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Strange Heart Realm had always been believed by Chen Fei to be unique to the Boundless Sea.

At one point, Chen Fei even speculated that the Strange Heart Realm might have been formed by some sixth-tier Evil entity, merging with the Boundless Sea’s plane. freewēbnoveℓ.com

It was not until the First Demonic Body cultivated on the Amber Jade Continent that Chen Fei learned that the Amber Jade Continent also had its own Strange Heart Realm. Of course, the two realms did not connect with each other.

This Strange Heart Realm was like the other side of the plane; where there was light, there was bound to be shadow.

In the unknown place behind the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele, the Sixth Demonic Body had made a slight attempt and could sense the fluctuations of the Strange Heart Realm.

If the place behind the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele was truly part of the Return to Nothing Realm, it would mean that the Strange Heart Realm also existed within the Return to Nothing Realm.

However, compared to the Boundless Sea, it seemed much more difficult to enter the Strange Heart Realm in the place behind the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele.

At that time, the Sixth Demonic Body had only sensed it slightly and had not actually attempted to enter the Strange Heart Realm.

Chen Fei, having reached the pinnacle of the Mountain Sea Realm, had his own insights into cultivation.

The Evil beings were mostly unique life forms born from the mutation of residual souls.

From their inception, these Evil beings were filled with hostility and a greedy desire to consume flesh and blood.

This was an instinct, and it was difficult to alter.

Because of this, in the Boundless Sea, both the human race and the demon race had always viewed these Evil beings with hostility.

The essence of their existence was fundamentally in a state of irreconcilable opposition.

At this moment, within the Strange Heart Realm, Chen Fei was casually flying about while operating the Stellar Divine Technique’s Mountain Sea Chapter to improve his proficiency in the Sun Moon Chapter.

The strongest beings in the Strange Heart Realm were currently at the fourth tier pinnacle. Although fifth-tier Evil beings had appeared before, the leaders of several sacred lands had directly entered the Strange Heart Realm and slain that Evil emperor.

Compared to the human race relying on techniques and the demon race relying on bloodlines, the fastest way for Evil beings to advance was by consuming flesh and blood.

But the amount of flesh and blood needed to break through from the fourth tier pinnacle to the fifth tier was immeasurable. The Boundless Sea’s human and demon races would never provide such an opportunity.

Even if an Evil being happened to break through by chance, once discovered, it would be ruthlessly eliminated.

“The Boundless Sea is a plane of the human and demon races; perhaps in other planes, Evil beings dominate.”

Chen Fei hovered in mid-air, gazing at the rolling black fog in the distance.

From here to a hundred miles away, there were several fourth-tier Evil kings scattered, with the weaker ones at the early fourth tier and the stronger ones reaching the fourth-tier pinnacle.

Chen Fei wandered through the Strange Heart Realm purely on a whim.

After all, his first life-and-death crisis upon beginning cultivation had come from Evil beings.

Chen Fei had actually gained considerable benefits from the Strange Heart Realm. During his time in the Aperture Tempering Realm and Combined Aperture Tempering Realm, the rapid progress in his mental cultivation was largely due to the source provided by the Strange Heart Realm.

Chen Fei’s gaze swept around, his expression slightly shifting. He took a step forward and was already several dozen miles away.

Below him, the ruins and broken walls had long since rotted away. Any slight movement would turn them to ashes.

There used to be a mountain gate here, but tracing back its history would likely take several thousand or even tens of thousands of years.

It was only because the Strange Heart Realm was scarcely visited that it had managed to remain relatively preserved. Otherwise, in the outside world, there would have been nothing left.

Chen Fei entered a broken house and saw some remnants of writing and paintings on the walls.

Years ago, Chen Fei had obtained a secret technique in the Strange Heart Realm—Star Gazing Art.

This technique was derived from a panel that gathered various pieces of information to form a method, essentially the precursor to Chen Fei’s current Heavenly Eye technique.

It was not unusual for sects to exist in the Strange Heart Realm, even on the Middle Continent.

Ten thousand years ago, many sects were keen on establishing a mountain gate in the Strange Heart Realm, using its unique environment to temper the minds and souls of warriors.

The results were quite remarkable, which is why so many sects followed suit.

However, later on, something unknown happened in the Strange Heart Realm. The mountain gates established by these sects gradually declined, leaving only remnants of ruins from that era.

Because of his interest in the Strange Heart Realm, Chen Fei had previously searched through various texts to uncover what had happened back then.

He didn’t find any definitive answers but did see that the abnormalities in the Strange Heart Realm coincided closely with the decline of the Boundless Sea.

The most obvious sign of the Boundless Sea’s decline was that the masters of the sacred lands could no longer reach the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm. They were forced to shatter the void prematurely, hoping to enter the Return to Nothing Realm.

If the Strange Heart Realm was indeed a counterpart to the Boundless Sea, then the abnormalities in the Strange Heart Realm could be understood in the context of the Boundless Sea’s overall decline.

The texts Chen Fei found were not particularly precious, and the patterns he discovered were already known to many practitioners.

Many had searched the Strange Heart Realm carefully for a period of time but ultimately found nothing.

Chen Fei was not specifically looking to link the decline of the Boundless Sea with the Strange Heart Realm. Instead, his entry into the Strange Heart Realm had naturally prompted his thoughts to explore and move around.

Perhaps, the enmity from the Return to Nothing Realm’s people had put immense pressure on Chen Fei, leading him to subconsciously seek more ways to counter it.

Reaching the Sun Moon Realm was naturally one solution.

However, given the tight timeframe, those people might not give Chen Fei enough time.

The warning from the Heart of Sincerity was slowly rising, but it did not rule out the possibility of the opponent finding other methods to locate him.

Even with the advance warning from the Heart of Sincerity, the places where Chen Fei could hide would be extremely limited.

The Boundless Sea was vast but also quite small in reality. Once locked onto, there would be nowhere to hide, no matter how large the space.

“It would be best to find out why the people from the Return to Nothing Realm are after me.”

Chen Fei appeared in mid-air, his gaze fluctuating. To get to the bottom of the issue, the best way was naturally to go out and investigate personally.

Sending others was not suitable because they could easily be tracked.

There were only a few effective methods to lock onto someone—by their essence, energy, and soul.

Capturing any one of these could lock onto a person.

This was true for the Mountain Sea Realm, and the same applied to the Sun Moon Realm.

However, in the Sun Moon Realm, due to various supernatural powers, concealing one’s essence, energy, and soul became much more difficult, if not impossible.

When the Black God descended, everyone in Thousand Geese City had moved to the Sacred City and stayed indoors because going outside meant death.

The people from the Return to Nothing Realm would have found it difficult to track those in Thousand Geese City using their source-tracing techniques because everyone had been evacuated by Chen Fei.

Perhaps someone had left Thousand Geese City decades ago, but the difficulty of tracking them was not something that could be resolved quickly. After all, Thousand Geese City was once a small place that had not attracted much attention from others on the Middle Continent.

However, no matter how difficult it was to find someone, there were always ways to locate them. If the people from the Return to Nothing Realm were unable to lock onto Chen Fei in a short period, they would intensify their efforts to uncover other leads.

As a result, Chen Fei was both concealing his presence and hiding within the Strange Heart Realm. The danger detected by the Heart of Sincerity continued to rise slowly.

Clearly, with the current methods, it was almost inevitable that Chen Fei would be found, though it was just a matter of time.

“If I go out myself, I’ll leave even more traces.”

As soon as Chen Fei thought of going to the Boundless Sea, the risk indicated by the Heart of Sincerity began to rise, showing that this method was also unsuitable. The same applied to using a clone.

“Unless there’s a better way to conceal my essence, energy, and soul!”

This new thought sparked a faint sensation in Chen Fei’s mind.

Chen Fei paused, surprised to see that there was indeed a solution within the Strange Heart Realm.

Or perhaps, Chen Fei’s random wandering in the Strange Heart Realm was driven by his own desire to find a solution.

Now that he had a concrete idea, the Heart of Sincerity provided feedback.

“Truly the top talent of the human race, as if guided by divine assistance!”

Chen Fei marveled at the Heart of Sincerity. In some ways, it was comparable to certain supernatural powers.

Of course, the Heart of Sincerity could only passively sense subtle things.

Some powerful supernatural abilities could immediately sense and understand what was happening once you focused on them.

That was true supernatural power, even within the realm of rules.

The Heart of Sincerity, while surpassing many other talents, was still quite challenging to awaken.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered as he followed the faint sensation and flew forward.

Halfway through, Chen Fei used the Return to Nothing Realm technique to enter a spatial interlayer.

Currently, no fourth-tier Evil King in the Strange Heart Realm could harm Chen Fei, but he was here to find a solution, not to kill Evil beings.

Killing these Evil beings endlessly or refining them would no longer enhance Chen Fei’s essence.

As he passed several fourth-tier Evil Kings, Chen Fei slowly stopped and curiously observed a particular Evil king ahead.

Unlike other Evil kings, which were filled with madness and malice, this one floated quietly in the air. It was so unobtrusive that one might overlook it if not paying close attention.

A faint light flashed across Chen Fei’s forehead. After a moment, his expression shifted slightly.

On the surface, this Evil King appeared harmless, but beneath its exterior, the madness and malice were no less than those of other Evil Kings.

“This ability to restrain itself, combined with the Profound Slaughter Sword, will probably leave no traces. I might even be able to do more!”

Chen Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly. If he disguised himself as a person from another plane and severely injured a Return to Nothing Realm cultivator at the initial stage of the Sun Moon Realm, the Return to Nothing Realm’s people would likely shift some of their attention to investigating this incident.

If successful, this would reduce the focus on Chen Fei, giving him more time to breathe.

Although Chen Fei had not yet broken through to the Sun Moon Realm, the gap between him and an initial-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivator had become less significant, thanks to breaking through the Mountain Sea Realm’s boundary and absorbing several Demonic Bodies.

Chen Fei’s mind churned with thoughts. He noticed that the Heart of Sincerity provided a warning, but it was not particularly strong.

This was feasible!
