Chapter 546: Descending

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Kou Yuanheng’s body stiffened, countless sword essences erupted within him, and with a tremble, he turned into flying ashes.

Chen Fei didn’t hold back this time, and Kou Yuanheng died instantly.

“Hiss!”

A sharp sound suddenly echoed in Chen Fei’s ears. From where Kou Yuanheng disappeared, a black mist rushed towards Chen Fei.

The black mist approached Chen Fei with incredible speed, almost face to face. Chen Fei saw the eerie eye within the black mist.

At this moment, the eerie eye had shrunk to just a shadow. Kou Yuanheng, who had been leaning over, was killed by Chen Fei, causing this strange power to greatly diminish, leaving only one way to possess Chen Fei.

Dazzling light burst from Chen Fei’s eyes, and the Mirror Image Profound Slaying Sword trembled slightly. Dozens of sword lights pierced towards the eerie eye.

The sword lights shattered, but the black mist was also halted in place.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered, appearing in mid-air, but the Mirror Image Profound Slaying Sword did not stop at all, continuously thrusting towards the black mist.

On the shattered sword lights, a dark color stained them, evidently, even using the mind technique against this eerie eye would be counter-invaded by it.

But Chen Fei’s sword lights were all projections, with no connection to his true mind, and he didn’t care about how they might be contaminated.

In just a moment, the black mist dissipated completely, revealing the shadow of the eerie eye within.

Chen Fei looked at the eerie eye and vaguely saw a giant black figure, adorned with countless eyeballs.

At this moment, those eyeballs seemed to sense something. Slightly trembling, they all focused on Chen Fei’s position.

“Bang!”

The shadow of the eerie eye was shattered by a sword light, and when those eyeballs looked at Chen Fei, he severed the connection between them first.

If Chen Fei’s cultivation were slightly weaker, he might have already been marked at this moment, continuously monitored by that strange entity.

Based on the eerie appearance he vaguely saw just now, the power of this strangeness was quite exaggerated. At least, if Chen Fei were to face the original eerie entity right now, he wouldn’t stand a chance, and even escaping would depend on luck.

After all, just one eerie eyeball could silently lurk in Kou Yuanheng’s mind.

Even though this was a seed planted in Kou Yuanheng’s mind when his cultivation was still shallow, the eerie entity wouldn’t be able to do such a thing if its strength wasn’t formidable.

“To think that there would be such powerful strangeness within the Thousand Feathers Alliance!”

Chen Fei’s brows furrowed slightly as the tip of the Qianyuan Sword pointed towards the ground, and a few Strange Heart Stones were taken out from the bag of holding. The formation diagram of the Heart Refinement Formation began to manifest.

After slaying Kou Yuanheng, the spiritual essence stripped away by the Slaughter Spirit Technique couldn’t be simply discarded. After all, this was the essence of a mid-level Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, far exceeding that of an early Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.

However, allowing the Qianyuan Sword to absorb the spiritual essence like this, Chen Fei worried that it might retain the strange aura, essentially leaving a mark behind.

In an instant, the Heart Refinement Formation took shape, layer upon layer, forming a seven-fold array directly.

As Chen Fei’s cultivation reached the mid-level Combined Aperture Tempering realm, his control over the Heart Refinement Formation became more adept. What used to be barely achievable with the seven-fold array could now be easily accomplished.

The spiritual essence from Kou Yuanheng was guided into the Heart Refinement Formation, and a faint black mist was forcefully refined out of it.

Chen Fei’s expression shifted slightly, realizing that there was indeed contamination that hadn’t been eradicated.

“Hum!”

After waiting for a moment and seeing no other reactions within the Heart Refinement Formation, Chen Fei was about to retract the spiritual essence when suddenly, the entire space trembled slightly.

Chen Fei looked at the location of the pit with some surprise. The area where the eerie eye had dissipated was now rippling, followed by a familiar aura permeating the surroundings.

Was it the same eerie entity that Chen Fei caught a glimpse of just now? Was it intending to descend directly to this location following its subordinate?

What kind of innate ability was this, to be able to traverse such a long distance? Or was it that once the strangeness grew to a certain extent, they all possessed such abilities?

“It seems like it’s using the Strange Heart Realm?”

Chen Fei’s expression suddenly changed as the ripples there became more intense. Chen Fei sensed a faint aura of the Strange Heart Realm.

Having frequently traversed the Strange Heart Realm to slay Evils, Chen Fei was overly familiar with the atmosphere there. So, could the Strange Heart Realm be used for this purpose too?Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

Various thoughts raced through Chen Fei’s mind, unsure if his speculation was correct. After all, this was the first time Chen Fei had seen strangeness capable of descending across such distances.

Chen Fei pointed his right hand like a sword, brushing over his own brow, and a beam of light emitted, revealing the details of the ripples in the distance clearly to Chen Fei’s eyes.

Without turning to run, Chen Fei realized that if the strangeness truly descended here, based on what he glimpsed earlier, he wouldn’t get far at all. He would undoubtedly be caught up to.

The power of the eerie entity was too formidable, far beyond what Chen Fei could withstand at present.

Since he couldn’t resist, he naturally had to find a way to prevent it from appearing here. As long as it didn’t immediately descend to this location, Chen Fei would have other means to remove himself from its eerie gaze.

A beam of light from the Mirror Image Profound Slaying Sword flew out and arrived at the ripple’s location, but before it could get close, it was corroded by a force and then dissipated.

Chen Fei remained unfazed and sent out another beam of sword light. This time, it managed to approach a foot closer before being corroded by the eerie power.

A faint smile appeared on Chen Fei’s lips. In the next moment, dozens of sword lights flew out and arrived at the ripple.

This time, the sword lights were not corroded. Instead, a dark shadow was cut out, accompanied by a piercing screech that seemed to resonate only in the soul.

Chen Fei directly threw the cut-out black shadow into the nearby Heart Refinement Formation, where a trace of black mist was refined out, transforming into a small portion of essence undulating within the array.

To prevent this strangeness from descending, it must be hurt, forcing it to voluntarily retract its power.

During the initial stages of such long-distance descent, it was undoubtedly at its weakest.

Of course, for ordinary Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, there weren’t many effective methods to deal with it. After all, even at its weakest, the contamination still existed.

Only by using mental energy to exhaust it until the strangeness voluntarily retreated. However, this approach came with a high cost and might not necessarily yield the desired results.

Alternatively, there might be special methods to counter strangeness, such as those possessed by the Shadow Abyss Sect. There must be secrets within it that made it relatively easy to subdue strangeness. Otherwise, people from the Shadow Abyss Sect wouldn’t be actively hunting down strangeness within the Thousand Feathers Alliance.

And Chen Fei’s current method was somewhat similar to the Shadow Abyss Sect’s approach, perhaps even easier due to the involvement of the Heavenly Eye.

Invisible sword lights flickered, constantly cutting out black shadows, which were then thrown into the nearby Heart Refinement Formation by Chen Fei and refined into essence.

In less than a moment, the essence within the Heart Refinement Formation had condensed into a fist-sized sphere of light, emitting a faint glow within the array.

The piercing howls continued unabated, and Chen Fei could even faintly see on the other side of the ripple, a thousand-eyed eerie figure roaming and roaring.

It seemed that the eerie entity on the other side had realized that its attack method had been figured out. The black shadow at the ripple’s location kept changing, attempting to corrode the incoming sword lights.

However, each time, these sword lights changed along with the black shadow’s transformations, easily cutting it out.

Under the Heavenly Eye, with such a long distance separating the eerie entity’s true form, trying to gain an advantage through adaptation seemed incredibly difficult.

With a gesture of his right hand, Chen Fei sent out the essence from the Heart Refinement Formation, which flew into the Qianyuan Sword.

Chen Fei had always maintained a cautious attitude towards strangeness beyond his own realm. Although the essence of the strangeness had been refined by the Heart Refinement Formation, Chen Fei still had some concerns about directly consuming it.

Since there were concerns, it was best not to use it and simply feed it to the Qianyuan Sword, which was the safest choice.

Chen Fei was unlike other Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators who might encounter barriers in their cultivation progress. He didn’t need to forcefully elevate himself using such essence.

Chen Fei’s cultivation had always been remarkably smooth. With just a bit of time accumulation, his realm could soar.

Therefore, Chen Fei had no need to take risks by absorbing such high-level Evil essence, potentially putting himself in danger.

One quarter of an hour, two quarters, three quarters!

The ripples at the bottom of the pit had already reached their limit, waiting only for enough power on this side to lift them, enough to allow the eerie entity on the other side to descend here.

However, the power of the evil permeating through was systematically cut off by Chen Fei, unable to accumulate enough strength to lift the ripples.

Everything was prepared, yet the crucial moment was lacking. But Chen Fei’s actions here prevented the eerie entity from taking that final step, firmly blocking it.

“Hiss!”

A strange and indescribable sound reverberated in the surroundings, seemingly understanding that it couldn’t succeed. Gradually, the ripples at the bottom of the pit diminished, eventually calming down.

Under the Heavenly Eye, Chen Fei watched as all the eerie power retreated.

However, Chen Fei did not leave. Instead, he moved the Heart Refinement Formation to the bottom of the pit and began to operate it at full power.

A trace of black shadow was forcibly refined out beneath the Heart Refinement Formation.

This was a tactical move. Chen Fei hadn’t considered that the strangeness could descend in this manner. Otherwise, he would have placed the Heart Refinement Formation here earlier, preventing it from finding a place to descend.

“Losing just one eyeball and already seeking revenge! No, perhaps it’s not revenge, but rather silencing witnesses?”

Chen Fei gathered the Heart Refinement Formation from the ground, his expression pensive. The intentions of this strangeness seemed significant, or else it wouldn’t have been so cautious.

The other party might not let Chen Fei off so easily and could potentially continue to pursue him.

With a wave of his right hand, Chen Fei grabbed the black shadow refined out by the array. In the next moment, he shot up into the sky, disappearing from the island.

Chen Fei didn’t return to the Primordial Sword Sect but instead flew southwest.

Three hours later, crossing thousands of miles, Chen Fei arrived at the Haining Domain.

Compared to the Sea Peak City, the spiritual energy in the Haining Domain wasn’t as dense, but it felt more vibrant.

It was this slight vibrancy that made it easier for spiritual materials to form within the Haining Domain. Additionally, there were two Third Grade Secret Realms within the Haining Domain.

One was a Third Grade upper-tier secret realm, and the other was a Third Grade middle-tier secret realm.

And both of these realms belonged to one power: the Shadow Abyss Sect!

With the black shadow in his hand, Chen Fei flashed to a location dozens of miles away from the Shadow Abyss Sect and released his grip on the shadow.

The black shadow vanished instantly, leaving Chen Fei watching with a smile on his face..
