Chapter 456: Immovable
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
If it werent for the recent confrontation with the adversary, Chen Fei probably wouldnt have been able to sense this power.
But as Chen Fei shattered the opponents dream and captured the characteristics of their dream power, at this moment, he could clearly perceive it.
Chen Fei looked at the s.h.i.+p beneath his feet and then glanced at Zheng Chuanwen in the distance. Zheng Chuanwens expression was somewhat strange at this moment, looking at Chen Fei for no apparent reason.
A smile appeared on Chen Feis face, and the doubts in his mind gradually unraveled.
Originally, Chen Fei sensed this s.h.i.+p because the aura of that monster lingered on it, and he thought that this s.h.i.+p had bad luck and was targeted by the monster.
Now Chen Fei realized that it was not a matter of luck at all; this s.h.i.+p itself was the problem.
In simpler terms, except for the people from the Zheng family on this s.h.i.+p, everyone else who boarded this s.h.i.+p had been marked as food by that monster, the prey of the monsters dream.
This s.h.i.+p was not meant to transport people across the fog; it was simply a way for people to serve themselves as food to that monster.
Without this s.h.i.+p as a marker, the power of that monsters dream would never have been able to capture the people on this s.h.i.+p in the vast sea.
How powerful must this psychic power be to envelop an area of hundreds of miles? Its too exaggerated. If there really is such a level of psychic strength, Chen Feis first instinct would be to escape immediately without any hesitation.
Zheng Chuanwen, upon seeing Chen Feis gaze, inexplicably became somewhat nervous, as if he had some secret that Chen Fei had seen through.
Your Excellency, how did you do it just now? What was it that attacked us? someone stepped forward and respectfully asked Chen Fei.
Did you manage to drive that thing away? Are we safe now?
Whats next? Are we not going to encounter any more trouble?
Seeing someone inquire about Chen Fei, the people around also began to ask.
You should ask him!
Chen Fei moved swiftly, appearing in front of Zheng Chuanwen and grabbing his neck.
The people around were startled by Chen Feis actions, their eyes filled with confusion. Some considered a certain possibility, but others remained uncertain and couldnt confirm it.
Bold!
Zheng Chuanwen, seeing Chen Fei make a move toward him, felt both shocked and furious, but he didnt retaliate. Instead, he quickly retreated.
The scene where Chen Fei had saved the three people earlier had left Zheng Chuanwen unsure about Chen Feis true capabilities. In the normal Aperture Tempering realm, who could possess such skills?
Zheng Chuanwen had led people into this secret realm for many years, and even those in the later stages of cultivation could not withstand the power of that monster. In the end, they would all be devoured, leaving only their skin behind.
But Chen Fei had managed to save people in the blink of an eye, leaving Zheng Chuanwen with a sense of uncertainty.
As Zheng Chuanwen retreated, a faint smile appeared on Chen Feis lips. His right hand suddenly accelerated, and in an astonis.h.i.+ngly impossible manner, he grabbed Zheng Chuanwens neck.
Zheng Chuanwen stared wide-eyed at Chen Fei. He hadnt even seen clearly what move Chen Fei had used. By the time he reacted, he found himself in Chen Feis grasp.
At this moment, with his neck captured, Zheng Chuanwen realized that all the energy in his body had been sealed off, and he couldnt muster even the slightest bit of strength.
Not only was his strength sealed, but a suffocating feeling engulfed Zheng Chuanwens heart, and helplessness and fear filled his eyes.
Stop!
Let him go!
On the s.h.i.+p, other members of the Zheng family saw Zheng Chuanwen captured by Chen Fei and shouted loudly. However, as Chen Feis gaze swept over them, the aura of someone at the pinnacle of the Aperture Tempering realm overwhelmed the entire s.h.i.+p.
It felt like an overwhelming weight on their hearts, and an indescribable emotion involuntarily surged in their minds. It was as if making a single wrong move would lead to catastrophic consequences.
Everyone stared in disbelief at Chen Fei, never expecting that Chen Fei, who had been in the mid-Aperture Tempering realm just moments ago, would suddenly become a pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.
With the power of a pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, even if the people on the s.h.i.+p rushed at him all at once, they would likely be wiped out one by one in the end.
The members of the Zheng family immediately fell silent, and some of them even began to slowly back away, trying to distance themselves from Chen Fei. Where is that monster? Chen Fei inquired, unfazed by the reactions of those around him, his gaze fixed on Zheng Chuanwen.
Zheng Chuanwen wanted to speak but found that Chen Fei had not released his neck at all; instead, he was applying more pressure. Fear filled Zheng Chuanwens eyes, and he attempted to struggle, but he realized he couldnt move.
The fear in Zheng Chuanwens eyes intensified as he tried to speak, only to find that Chen Fei wasnt giving him a chance to speak.
His consciousness began to blur gradually, and Zheng Chuanwen couldnt sense his surroundings anymore.
Suddenly, the grip on his neck loosened, and Zheng Chuanwen instantly regained his senses. It felt like a rebirth after a catastrophe, but at the same time, his fear of death deepened.
I I dont know where that monster is either! Zheng Chuanwen looked up at Chen Fei and whispered.
Zheng Chuanwen knew that Chen Feis earlier actions had made it clear that he couldnt lie. Zheng Chuanwen genuinely didnt want to lie, as he didnt want to experience that near-death feeling again.
But the truth was, Zheng Chuanwen really didnt know the exact location where the monster was hiding.
Every time I send people here, after the monster devours them, it gives me some spiritual materials in exchange, Zheng Chuanwen continued hastily, fearing that Chen Fei might not believe him.
Over the years, the Zheng family had rapidly developed by relying on these trades trading other peoples lives for a sufficient supply of spiritual materials.
It wasnt just spiritual materials; after the people on the s.h.i.+p died, the remaining items such as elemental stones, spiritual artifacts, and elixirs all belonged to the Zheng family.
All they needed to do was bring a s.h.i.+pload of people into the mist, and they could not only harvest spiritual materials but also acquire elemental stones and spiritual artifacts. Such a profitable endeavor had made the Zheng family eagerly pursue it.
However, Zheng Chuanwen hadnt antic.i.p.ated that today he would be restrained like this, and he couldnt resist at all.
Some of the bystanders, who had been puzzled, had their eyes widened upon hearing Zheng Chuanwens words. A sense of dread instantly washed over them.
Being on a Zheng family s.h.i.+p in Flame Jade City meant boarding a s.h.i.+p to death, with no return!
If it werent for Chen Fei still standing there, radiating the aura of a pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, its likely that everyone would have already taken action against the Zheng family members.
Chen Fei remained silent. The fact that the Zheng family didnt know the exact hiding place of the monster surprised him. Chen Fei looked at Zheng Chuanwen and believed he wasnt lying. Finding the monster would likely require Chen Fei to figure it out on his own.
With a glance at the surging dream power in the distance, Chen Feis eyes flickered, and in the next moment, he began to tighten his grip on Zheng Chuanwens neck.
No!
Zheng Chuanwen screamed in terror, but halfway through his shout, his voice abruptly stopped as his neck snapped.
The spiritual essence from Zheng Chuanwen flowed into the Shuttle of Flying Clouds in Chen Feis arms and settled. Chen Fei made a slight gesture with his right hand, and the high-grade spiritual weapon and elemental stones and elixirs from Zheng Chuanwen fell into his hand.
With a light step on the deck, Chen Fei disappeared from the spot, heading straight for the surging dream power in the distance.
As for what would happen to the Zheng familys s.h.i.+p next, it was no longer within Chen Feis concern. To some extent, Chen Fei had already saved the people on this s.h.i.+p.
If it werent for Chen Fei, all the people on this s.h.i.+p would have turned into skins, drifting in this sea.
Buzz!
But a few miles away, the power of the monsters dream realm suddenly collided with Chen Feis consciousness.
In Chen Feis sea of consciousness, it was as if a towering wave had surged, but his core soul energy remained unmoved. Regardless of how the power of the monsters dream realm tried to provoke him, it couldnt ruffle Chen Feis mental state in the slightest.
On the deck earlier, Chen Fei had actively entered the dream, or else the power of the monster wouldnt have been able to stir his core soul energy.
A sharp noise echoed in Chen Feis ears as the monster grew increasingly frustrated by its inability to draw Chen Fei into the dream. With the pa.s.sage of time, the monsters power began to wane.
The distance between them was too vast, and although the power of the dream realm was magical, it had its limitations.
The monsters frustrated roar continued, but its fluctuations were growing smaller and weaker.
Sensing the weakening of the monsters power, Chen Fei suddenly released his own core soul energy, allowing the power of the monster to completely connect with his own consciousness.
Chen Feis mental state began to ripple and fold, but the power was so weak that it could only achieve this level of attack.
A slight smile appeared on Chen Feis face, and his figure flickered as he rushed towards the distance.
Faint light condensed in Chen Feis eyes as he pushed his Star Gazing Art to its limit. The presence in the distance appeared within Chen Feis perception.
Where theres a connection, theres a response.
The monster that had hidden itself until now had been completely locked onto by Chen Fei. No matter where it tried to flee at this moment, Chen Fei could reach it.
The monster seemed to sense Chen Feis movements and attempted to withdraw its power. However, with the operation of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique in Chen Feis sea of consciousness, the monsters power was firmly suppressed and unable to move.
Boom!
In the middle of its retreat, the monsters power suddenly tore itself apart, with most of it dissipating into the heavens and earth.
Chen Fei remained unfazed, as his Star Gazing Art had completely locked onto the monsters location. The monsters attempt to disperse its power had come too late; it was now completely exposed.
Several tens of miles away.
Found it, over there! Dai Yuqiu, looking at the compa.s.s in his hand, revealed a happy expression on his face, then turned to look at Du Guman.
Good, lets go!
Du Gumans eyes lit up slightly, and the boat under her feet shot forward like an arrow.
In less than a moment, Du Guman, along with Dai Yuqiu, arrived on an island.
The island was not large, covering only about a square mile.
Upon reaching this place, the compa.s.s in Dai Yuqius hand began to spin wildly, and his expression grew serious.
This monster is very strong, be careful! Dai Yuqiu whispered.
No matter how strong it is, its still just a Tier-2 Evil. Today, well kill it and help me advance further on my path of cultivation! Du Gumans eyes gleamed with a cold light as she stepped onto the island and walked forward step by step.
Several tens of miles away, Chen Fei followed the trail of the aura..
