Chapter 996: Emperor, Something Bad Has Happened

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Kuang Xingfeng stood at a distance, initially intending to assist Chen Fei and make the task easier for him.

However, he soon realized that his help was unnecessary.

Despite being on the same level as Chen Fei, the opponents in the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm displayed none of the strength one would expect at that level. Under Chen Fei’s sword, all resistance proved futile.

A true hero should be like this!

Watching Chen Fei’s figure, this was the only thought echoing in Kuang Xingfeng’s mind!

After Chen Fei finished slaying the Ice Clan and the Evil Clan members present, he swung his left hand, and sixty-three portions of spiritual essence fell into the Concealment Bell.

These were essential for executing the Star Shatter Slash. Without these mid-stage Sun Moon Realm spiritual essences, Chen Fei would have to use his own energy to drive the attack.

If it came to that, Chen Fei would not be able to fight as effortlessly as he was now, nor could he produce attacks of this intensity.

The hundreds of mid-grade mysterious treasures floating around turned into dust-sized particles and fell into Chen Fei’s sleeves.

The mid-grade mysterious treasures carried by the over a hundred mid-stage Sun Moon Realm opponents he killed with the first palm were absorbed by the Taiyin Peak.

Chen Fei could only obtain them by destroying the entire Taiyin Peak.

With Chen Fei’s current strength, this was still beyond his capability. After all, his second palm attack had only slightly damaged the distorted environment of the Taiyin Peak and lowered its power level a bit.

At this moment, standing beside the Taiyin Peak, Chen Fei could feel its power gradually recovering.

Moreover, Chen Fei sensed a peculiar change in the distorted rules of Taiyin Peak, possibly stimulated by his previous attack.

Chen Fei had initially thought the Taiyin Peak’s power would decrease, but now it seemed to have become even more dangerous.

After the Glass Space collided with the Return to Nothing Realm, its rules had become elusive.

Chen Fei stored the mysterious treasures, took a step forward, and appeared hundreds of miles away. With another flash, he reached the Five Finger Mountain.

At this point, the Five Finger Mountain had turned into a mere phantom. As Chen Fei arrived, the mountain shattered completely, revealing Teng Li inside.

Teng Li had not given up on escaping; he continued to exert his maximum strength to break free from confinement.

However, before Teng Li could fully express his joy, he saw Chen Fei outside the Five Finger Mountain. His gaze froze for a moment in surprise.

Teng Li hadn’t expected Chen Fei to arrive so quickly.

Either Chen Fei had ignored the other Evil Clan and Ice Clan members to pursue him directly, or the Sun Moon Realm practitioners had already been killed. If the latter was true, with so much spiritual essence collected by Chen Fei, Teng Li had no chance of survival.

Chen Fei looked at Teng Li’s main body and the other nine clones. Now, he had the leisure to examine these peculiar distorted replicas.

The thought of having two hundred clones at his level was quite exhilarating.

However, practitioners in the Sun Moon Realm rarely train clones because clones carry most of the main body’s information. If a clone is captured, the main body can be easily targeted.

This was also why Chen Fei had abandoned the idea of cultivating his previous Mountain Sea Realm clone to the Sun Moon Realm level after reaching that stage.

It wasn’t necessary and would leave a significant vulnerability.

Teng Li’s clones were vastly different from typical clones. Chen Fei discovered that most of the information held by these clones did not actually belong to Teng Li, but rather to other practitioners.

It was likely that these clones had only minimal information about Teng Li before their transformation.

Therefore, these clones could exist only within a thousand miles of Teng Li’s main body; otherwise, he would lose control over them.

“Spare my life, and I will offer any conditions you desire. I know where some Rule Crystals might be hidden. I can take you there,” Teng Li’s voice was dry.

“Your soul seems off. Is this the side effect of the distorted transformation of your clones? Given your condition, even if you survive me, your soul will likely collapse eventually,” Chen Fei said with a dark glint in his eyes, a faint smile on his lips.

“Yes, forcibly creating so many clones has overwhelmed my soul. So, even if you don’t kill me, I would die eventually,” Teng Li lowered his head slightly, his hair obscuring his eyes.

“Since you’re going to die anyway, why bother fleeing?”

“I want revenge. I originally planned to take revenge on a peak Sun Moon Realm practitioner within my clan. If I don’t kill him, I’ll die with regret!”

Teng Li’s voice seemed to burst through gritted teeth, a deep-seated hatred emanating around him.

“You’re truly cautious. Even in that situation, you left behind clones. Moreover, your technique allows for the transformation between the main body and the clones!”

Chen Fei’s gaze wavered, and then his figure flashed as he charged directly at Teng Li.

After observing for so long, Chen Fei wanted to determine if Teng Li still had other clones remaining.

As for Teng Li’s pleas for mercy and talk of revenge, Chen Fei didn’t believe a word of it.

Even if it were true, what did it have to do with Chen Fei? Why should a human like Chen Fei accommodate an alien’s vendetta?

Hearing Chen Fei’s words, Teng Li’s face changed dramatically. All ten clones suddenly ignited and were on the verge of exploding.

As Chen Fei had guessed, Teng Li had indeed left some clones elsewhere.

Despite the fact that Taiyin Peak had over a thousand mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners at that time, Teng Li had prepared an escape plan.

Here, Teng Li’s main body was present, but when needed, Teng Li could transform his clones into his main body—this was the marvel of the Hundred Strange Night Walkers technique.

However, Chen Fei saw through it instantly.

This human prodigy was not only unmatched in combat but also possessed an incredibly sharp eye.

Teng Li abandoned all illusions, causing all the clones here to shatter in order to preserve the clones in other locations.

A portion of spiritual essence flew out from the Concealment Bell, enveloping Pillar Mountain, causing Teng Li’s ten clones to freeze.

While it was easy for Chen Fei to kill Teng Li’s ten clones without needing to burn any spiritual essence, what he needed was to eliminate Teng Li’s main body as well.

Therefore, the ten clones couldn’t all die—Chen Fei needed them to determine the locations of Teng Li’s other clones.

Teng Li’s clones looked somewhat twisted due to the excessive strain.

Before Chen Fei, even self-destruction was impossible for them. The disparity in their strengths was beyond imagination.

The Qianyuan Sword turned into a streak of light, flashing across the foreheads of Teng Li’s ten clones.

Several particles of rules appeared before Chen Fei, with some resonating with distant locations.

With the Thousand-Mile Soul Lock, Chen Fei was fundamentally tracking Teng Li’s soul.

A figure in slumber, located a thousand miles away, suddenly opened its eyes. This was one of the clones Teng Li had placed there.

This clone was the first Teng Li had transformed, coming from the Ice Clan’s shaman. As it had been transformed the longest, Teng Li had invested the most effort into it, making it easier to transform into his main body.

Teng Li’s aura gradually grew stronger, and a crystal appeared in his hand—it was a Rule Crystal.

Teng Li hesitated for a moment, then a ruthless look appeared in his eyes as he moved the Rule Crystal towards his mouth.

The human Chen Fei might soon be on his way, and Teng Li needed to forcibly enhance his own strength—not to kill Chen Fei, but to give himself a chance to escape.

By forcibly refining the power of the Rule Crystal, he planned to merge with the rules and become an ethereal shadow to escape.

Afterward, his soul might truly lose control and shatter, but that was a matter for later. Teng Li needed to survive first.

“You really have a Rule Crystal in hand.”

A voice suddenly spoke in Teng Li’s ear. The Rule Crystal that was about to enter his mouth was abruptly yanked away by an unseen force, suspended in mid-air.

Teng Li looked up in disbelief at the figure before him.

How could it be so fast?

What kind of monster is this human? How is it that everything is seen through and broken by him?

Chen Fei looked at Teng Li with a faint smile, his right index finger extending towards him.

“Ah!”

Teng Li screamed in madness, but he found his body unable to move, forced to watch as Chen Fei’s finger pointed at his forehead.

Teng Li’s body stiffened suddenly, and all his strength began to drain away rapidly, an overwhelming weakness rising from deep within him.

Teng Li’s mouth trembled slightly, his right hand reaching out as if trying to grasp something.

It shouldn’t have been like this. With so many clones, how could he still lose?

Even with one clone hidden so far away, how was it still found? What more could he possibly do?

“Boom!”

Teng Li collapsed to the ground, turning into a pile of ashes. The spiritual essence within was extracted by Chen Fei and gathered in his palm.

In less than a moment, another figure appeared beside him—it was Chen Fei’s real body, having arrived after several teleportations.

The attack that killed Teng Li’s main body was executed by a projection of Chen Fei’s Star Shatter Slash. Only through the resonance between the rule particles could Chen Fei cross such a vast distance instantaneously; otherwise, Teng Li’s actions could not have been prevented.

Whether Teng Li had chosen to flee from Taiyin Peak or face the destruction of his fellow Evil Clan members, Chen Fei had to ensure that several of Teng Li’s clones were left behind to confirm the death of his main body. Otherwise, if given time to recover, Teng Li might again deploy over two hundred mid-stage Sun Moon Realm clones.

With an experience of battling Chen Fei, Teng Li would likely avoid him in the future and secretly kill other human practitioners. Given the vastness of the Glass Space, it would be challenging for Chen Fei to locate him.

But now, everything was over!

As the projection vanished, Chen Fei took the Rule Crystal and smiled.

This was the second Rule Crystal Chen Fei had obtained. Compared to the one he had acquired at Spirit Concealing Lake, this one was smaller, likely due to Teng Li having used part of it.

Additionally, the aura of this Rule Crystal felt off, with evident twisted and chaotic fluctuations.

Given the size of the Rule Crystal, using it for training Celestial Suppression would advance it somewhat, but reaching perfection would still be far off.

The further one progresses with Celestial Suppression, the more proficiency is required, and without achieving perfection, a qualitative change cannot occur.

If there were enough Rule Crystals to bring Celestial Suppression to full completion, Chen Fei might be able to directly overcome the so-called dangers of the Glass Space.

A moment later, Kuang Xingfeng and Lu Shuzhang arrived and joined Chen Fei.

Outside the Glass Space, six human emperors were listening to a report from a mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioner who had just exited the dimension.

The report detailed Chen Fei’s actions: he had slain sixteen Water Clan members and over thirty Ice Clan members at Egret Ridge, and was now heading towards Taiyin Peak. Reliable information indicated that Taiyin Peak was gathering over a thousand alien creatures, including the formidable Teng Li from the Evil Clan.

They were waiting for Chen Fei to walk into their trap, ready to catch him in a net.
