Chapter 877: Divine Punishment
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The real name of the legendary figure known as Dream Shadow Master was Zhou Chengying, but over the years, few remember this original name.
Instead, the t.i.tle Dream Shadow Master has become widely recognized.
Especially during the era when Dream Shadow Master was active, he was nearly invincible in the Mountain Sea Realm.
Even the saints of the great Sacred Lands could do nothing against Dream Shadow Master.
Dream Shadow Masters secret techniques and forbidden arts were so numerous that they were almost terrifying.
The saints of the great Sacred Lands primarily practiced their own sects supreme techniques, perfecting them to the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm. This level of power was almost the highest in the Mountain Sea Realm.
Building upon this, they attempted to break through to the Sun Moon Realm, which was sufficient for their goals.
Ultimately, anyone who reached the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm, with a few exceptions like Duan Qingchi, would aim to breakthrough to the Sun Moon Realm.
No matter how many secret techniques one mastered, they rarely contributed to breaking through to the Sun Moon Realm.
Even saints with exceptional talents found it hard to dedicate enough energy to learning additional secret techniques.
Dream Shadow Master also had limited energy, but his Myriad Clone was almost like a loophole.
As long as he gathered enough Myriad Bamboo, he could do nothing and various secret techniques would automatically be mastered.
At his peak, with over a thousand Myriad Clones and hundreds of years of practice, what secret technique could Dream Shadow Master not master?
However, success also came with its drawbacks.
In the end, Dream Shadow Master himself could no longer distinguish which techniques were flawed and which were correct.
The mix of right and wrong made it impossible for him to rely solely on his own strength to review and correct his practices.
Nevertheless, Dream Shadow Masters combat power was indeed unparalleled in the Mountain Sea Realm of his time.
Even after thousands of years, many still believe that Dream Shadow Master was the strongest below the Sun Moon Realm.
After all, the current saints of the Sacred Lands mainly practice their sects supreme techniques, and this has not changed. Their goal remains only to reach the Sun Moon Realm.
Since Dream Shadow Master could make the saints of the Sacred Lands speechless at that time, he could still achieve that today.
Chen Fei recognized Dream Shadow Masters ident.i.ty, and in the Boundless Sea, the Sun Moon Realm and the Monster Emperors also recognized him.
Dream Shadow Master had left a deep mark in the Boundless Sea over the past ten thousand years. Even among lower-level cultivators, many knew him better than the leaders of the Sacred Lands.
Everyone in the Boundless Sea grew serious because Dream Shadow Masters reputation was too significant.
Moreover, in the eyes of the several Sacred Land leaders like Zhan Xuming, Chen Feis current extraordinary combat power was also due to the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, which allowed him to practice so many secret techniques.
And now, Chen Fei encountered the creator of the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique.
Considering the time, even if both had the same level of skill in the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, Chen Feis practice time was far shorter compared to Dream Shadow Masters centuries of acc.u.mulation.
The Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique is truly a supreme art of the age. I have greatly benefited from it! Chen Fei said, bowing his hands to Dream Shadow Master.
Chen Fei spoke sincerely. Without the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, he could still reach his current level, but it would take many years.
Then how do you plan to repay me? Dream Shadow Master asked with a gentle smile.
I will do my utmost to defeat you and allow you to rest in peace, free from the control of the Black Divine! Chen Fei said solemnly.
Haha, good! Good, make me rest in peace sooner!
Dream Shadow Master laughed loudly upon hearing Chen Feis words. Then his laughter suddenly ceased, and he looked at Chen Fei seriously, Then you must not disappoint me!
Senior, please! Chen Fei pointed the Concealment Sword diagonally and said with determination.
Come! Dream Shadow Master raised his eyes to meet Chen Feis gaze.
Buzz!
It was as if a drop of water had fallen on the surface of a lake, creating ripples that spread out.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Fei found himself bound to a mountain peak. His entire source of power disappeared, not just his power, but even his consciousness and spirit were undetectable.
At that moment, Chen Fei felt like an ordinary person.
He looked up and saw Dream Shadow Master materialize before him.
Clang!
A slender sword appeared in Dream Shadow Masters hand, and he smiled at Chen Fei.
I havent drawn people into the Nothing Realm for a long time.
Nothing Realm? The Return to Nothing Realm? Dream Shadow Master truly has high aspirations! Chen Fei laughed softly.
The Return to Nothing Realm is the upper realm of the Boundless Sea and also the upper realm of many other similar dimensions.
When the Boundless Seas peak Sun Moon Realm cultivators broke through the void, they went to the Return to Nothing Realm.
Chen Fei suspected that the demonic creatures behind the altar of the Thousand Feathers Alliance on Ghost Shadow Island came from the Return to Nothing Realm, as they possessed strength above the sixth rank.
Even the Black Divine likely originated from the Return to Nothing Realm.
Dream Shadow Masters dream world was called the Nothing Realm, reflecting his high ambitions.
Ambition as high as the heavens, but life as thin as paper!
Dream Shadow Master shook his head slightly. With a wave of his hand, thousands of mountain peaks appeared, each with a bound Chen Fei.
At that moment, Chen Fei suddenly felt a novel sensation: his vision had multiplied into thousands of views, each showing a Dream Shadow Master.
This is divine punishment. I wonder how long you can endure!
Dream Shadow Master said as thousands of slender swords stabbed toward Chen Fei.
The pain from the swords piercing through flesh could easily be endured by a Body Tempering Realm warrior. But with thousands of swords, the pain was instantly multiplied thousands of times.
Clang!
The swords struck Chen Fei, making a metallic clanging sound.
Dream Shadow Master frowned slightly. The blades in his hand shattered into pieces almost instantly, while Chen Fei remained unharmed.
This Nothing Realm, I cannot resist, but as long as it is a technique based on the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, I can still resist it a little,
Chen Fei said, exerting his strength slightly. The chains binding him broke apart, and he floated in mid-air. The thousands of mountain peaks around him vanished.
The Nothing Realm was likely a soul attack based on Dream Shadow Masters dream power combined with other secret techniques.
It was incredibly mystical; ordinary Mountain Sea Realm cultivators would indeed find it hard to resist.
But for Chen Fei, although his control over dream power wasnt as versatile as Dream Shadow Masters, he could still easily overcome it using brute force. After all, he had mastered the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique to its peak.
The Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique is indeed well practiced!
Dream Shadow Master said with a hint of a smile as his figure transformed into that of a colossal giant, as if he had always been this immense.
As Dream Shadow Master spoke, a giant hand, vast beyond measure, reached out toward Chen Fei.
In the presence of this hand, Chen Fei seemed insignificant.
Before the hand even descended, a terrifying force pressed down on every part of Chen Feis body.
At this moment, Chen Fei could feel his vitality and soul, but under this ma.s.sive hand, even the peak Mountain Sea Realm power felt like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
In Chen Feis perception, this hand could directly crush the entire Boundless Sea, shattering it to pieces.
Of course, this was a dream, and everything here was fake.
But when the fake becomes real, and real becomes fake, sometimes even if you realize it is an illusion, if you cannot find a way to break it, the fake can still become real.
Death doesnt necessarily require the destruction of the body.
The shattering of ones mind and soul can also lead to death, and even more thoroughly.
Boom!
The entire Nothing Realm trembled violently, as if it would shatter completely the next moment.
Dream Shadow Masters giant hand landed on the ground, cracking the crust and causing magma to erupt like the end of the world.
In the giant hand, there was a tiny hole, a wound left after piercing through Chen Fei. Chen Fei remained floating in mid-air.
Not only did the giant hand fail to harm Chen Fei, but Chen Fei also directly created a hole in it.
Chen Fei looked up at the sky, where Dream Shadow Masters face was vaguely visible.
It seems Master does not believe in my skill with the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique,
Chen Fei said, summoning the Concealment Sword and slas.h.i.+ng forward.
The Concealment Sword became larger than the heavens in an instant, even exceeding the size of Dream Shadow Master.
The next moment, the Concealment Sword struck the ground of the Nothing Realm.
There was no sound, only the continual shattering of the Nothing Realm, followed by its complete destruction.
On the battle stage, Chen Fei opened his eyes, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Chen Fei glanced around. Despite the many events in the Nothing Realm, no time had pa.s.sed in reality.
A dream spanning a thousand years!
Dream Shadow Master dragged people into the Nothing Realm, where time flowed at a completely different dimension compared to the real world. In the Nothing Realm, Dream Shadow Master was a G.o.d.
But today, Dream Shadow Master met someone with almost equal skill in the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique.
The divine was shattered!
I underestimated you. Relying solely on dream power is not enough to deal with you, Dream Shadow Master said, as nine stars appeared around him.
Nine Stars Chain!
Dream Shadow Masters aura soared like oil on fire, and the surrounding heavenly energy surged and layered around him.
He used the Nine Heavens Dust Technique, but unlike the one used by Zhu Xiaowen, these dust particles did not form a s.h.i.+eld. Instead, they turned into a towering giant of dust, with Dream Shadow Master seated inside.
Flames burned on the surface of the dust giant, and the s.p.a.ce rippled as if it would shatter at any moment.
The Scorching Sky Divine Fire, the supreme technique of the Green Egg Sacred Land, burned the heavens!
The dust giant appeared before Chen Fei, and a sword blade emerged in its hand, sweeping toward him.
