Chapter 963: You, Come Over!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The void, which had once been empty s.p.a.ce, began to reveal phantom images, and the mountain peaks that had shattered into dust slowly started to coalesce.

The deathly aura emanating from Du Chen grew heavier, and the information drifting through his eyes became increasingly dense.

Suddenly, a ripple flashed through the mountain peak, causing the once-forming summit to halt abruptly.

“Hmph!”

Du Chen had snorted coldly, and his eyes had turned a greyish-white. The phantom image, which had been momentarily stalled, resumed its formation, but this time, it was undeniably much more laborious for Du Chen compared to before.

Gradually, some vague shadows began to appear on the mountain peak. Du Chen’s eyes brightened slightly, and just as he was about to focus his attention, a phantom image had suddenly appeared before him.

“Do you really wish to uncover the secrets of my source clan? Since you are so eager, why not follow me? I will reveal to you all the secrets you seek.”

Yan’s indifferent voice had sounded, but to Du Chen’s ears, it was like a thunderclap.

Du Chen had stared at the formless phantom in front of him, sensing no threat, as if it were merely a phantom.

Yet, Du Chen’s soul within seemed on the verge of exploding, even beginning to self-destruct.

Without hesitation, Du Chen’s figure had suddenly vanished and he fled wildly towards the distance. Never before had Du Chen realized he could fly so fast.

And Du Chen hoped he could be even faster at that moment!

d.a.m.n the source clan, hadn’t they been exterminated? How could there still be such an old-timer around?

Thoughts raced through Du Chen’s mind, and suddenly, he noticed that the scenery before him remained unchanged; he was perpetually circling in one direction.

“Come with me!” Yan’s voice came from behind, as if whispering in Du Chen’s ear.

“No!”

Du Chen had felt his power slipping out of control, as if he were about to explode.

Du Chen had suddenly clasped his hands over his chest, and the deathly aura erupted, making him disappear from his original position, leaving only an empty sh.e.l.l behind.

Yan looked at the spot where Du Chen had vanished, calmly retracting his right hand, and did not pursue.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t wanted to chase, but that he lacked the capability to do so.

Yan was truly dead; everything he was doing now was based on glimpses of the future he had seen when he stepped out of the river of time years ago.

Yan had delved into the rules of time and made some progress, but attacking beings from hundreds of thousands of years in the future through the river of time was beyond his capability.

Not even a ninth-tier powerhouse could achieve that.

The gap between the eighth and ninth tiers was not in the understanding of time rules but in other aspects.

When it came to mastery of time rules, Yan was not inferior to any ninth-tier powerhouse.

It was precisely because of this that Yan could predict that a human would come today and had confidence in keeping his actions concealed from the supreme races’ strongholds.

Basically, for powerhouses above the eighth tier, it was exceedingly difficult to calculate each other’s movements. Being stronger than others was reflected in other aspects.

The rules of time, the most potent rules in the void, remained beyond complete mastery by any race.

In the past, an eighth-tier creation realm had some control over the time rules within its own s.p.a.ce, allowing for adjustments within that internal s.p.a.ce.

However, when it came to the void and the Return to Nothing Realm, it was only possible to perform partial time retrogressions in certain regions, which was already the limit.

If one could fully control the time rules, the entire void and Return to Nothing Realm would have long been under their complete control, with no room for any accidents.

Such control would mean that the strong individual could traverse the river of time freely. To eliminate you, it would be as simple as killing your past self.

But, no race had achieved that yet, not even the supreme races.

“Sigh!”

Yan had sighed deeply, reflecting that even an eighth-tier power, despite its might, ultimately returned to dust. As formidable as the source clan was, it eventually became a relic of history.

One could only rely on a human to place a sliver of hope.

Yan’s figure had slowly dissipated, as if he had never appeared.

Du Chen had fled desperately, and by abandoning eighty percent of his source power, he had finally managed to escape.

A sense of rebirth after calamity filled Du Chen’s heart. Recalling Yan’s appearance, Du Chen had finally remembered who he was, someone reputed to be able to match a ninth-tier powerhouse in a direct confrontation.

Yet, even such a powerful figure had fallen to a ninth-tier supreme being.

To be surrounded and killed by several ninth-tier supreme beings, Yan’s strength had been extraordinarily astonishing.

Other eighth-tier powerhouses would never receive such treatment; even in a one-on-one situation, it would be considered favor.

It was precisely because of this that the source clan had been annihilated; the source clan was too powerful. If an eighth-tier being was so formidable, what would a ninth-tier source clan be like?

Would the entire Return to Nothing Realm be under the control of the source clan?

“No, wait! Yan is dead; he could not have acted against me!”

Du Chen’s face had suddenly changed. If Yan were still alive, the supreme races would not have been so at ease. Therefore, that phantom image earlier was not Yan.

Or even if it were Yan, he surely would not have had the ability to kill him.

Du Chen’s expression kept changing, and although he was tempted to return and retrieve his dissipated source power, he was filled with apprehension.

If he judged incorrectly and went back, he might not get another chance to escape.

Du Chen gritted his teeth, eventually sighing deeply. He dared not gamble with his life. Even after tens of thousands of years, the name of Yan from the source clan was still remembered by many powerful beings.

Du Chen dared not risk his life! Moreover, he did not dare to inform the supreme races, fearing that if he guessed wrong, he would end up in an irreparable situation.

Boundless Sea, Thousand Rocks Mountain.

Chen Fei had placed one foot on the teleportation array, but had not stepped fully in; instead, he had taken a step back.

Just moments ago, he had seen that the Indestructible Vision had issued an unprecedentedly severe warning.

“You dare to tamper with the teleportation array!” Chen Fei had turned to look at the surrounding guards with a grim expression.

Normally, traveling to Sky Sea City should not pose any danger. The only possibility was that the teleportation array had been altered, and the destination was not Sky Sea City.

“Tamper with the teleportation array? Sir, there must be some misunderstanding!” Guard Captain Yu Mingde had stepped forward, trying to explain quickly.

Yu Mingde’s realm was only at the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm. Faced with Chen Fei, who was in the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, he was naturally less confident.

Although Yu Mingde and his subordinates were affiliated with the Sky Sea City Lord’s mansion, normally, other Sun Moon Realm experts were not supposed to harm the guards without reason, as it would be seen as provoking Sky Sea City.

“Has anyone else come to the Boundless Sea after I arrived?” Chen Fei asked Yu Mingde, sensing that Yu Mingde’s soul fluctuations seemed very erratic.

The Mastery proficient Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword had a strong ability to see through illusions, so detecting the thoughts of someone with a lower cultivation level was naturally within his grasp.

“There was one other person, but he only stayed for a moment before leaving immediately.”

Yu Mingde had looked at Chen Fei’s serious expression and recalled the previous person’s strange behavior, and spoke in a low voice.

Chen Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn’t expected that someone had altered the teleportation array after arriving.

However, this was just Yu Mingde’s side of the story. The truth would be determined by Sky Sea City.

Chen Fei looked at the teleportation array ahead. Although he was somewhat familiar with arrays, he did not have the time to study them thoroughly. Therefore, he did not have the ability to modify the array himself.

However, the teleportation hall conducted regular checks on the various teleportation arrays, and any discrepancies would immediately trigger an alarm.

This meant that if Chen Fei waited here, Sky Sea City would soon send someone over.

Unless, of course, everyone in the Sky Sea City teleportation hall had betrayed them.

“Hmm!”

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the sky of the Boundless Sea, which then spread out at an astonishing speed.

A pair of hands reached into the ripple, and a dark rift was torn open.

Outside the rift in the sky, several figures watched Thousand Rocks Mountain, their gazes meeting Chen Fei’s.

“You’re quite cautious. It would have been better if you had just stepped into the teleportation array directly, saving us the trouble of making this special trip!” The leader, Tan Dongyuan, had looked at Chen Fei with a smirk, revealing his sharp teeth.

Chen Fei remained silent, looking at the five people in the sky. Three were from the Ice Clan, and two from the Evil Clan, all at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm.

Such strength, just to capture a mid-stage Sun Moon Realm Chen Fei, was indeed an elaborate effort.

Chen Fei’s expression was calm. If this were the Return to Nothing Realm, facing such power, Chen Fei would have fled as far as possible without hesitation.

After all, a peak Sun Moon Realm cultivator was far stronger than the current Chen Fei, and there was no comparison.

But this was the Boundless Sea, where the highest power limit was only the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm. For Tan Dongyuan and his group to come down, they had to expend their source power; otherwise, they couldn’t enter at all.

Even if a peak Sun Moon Realm cultivator scattered their source power and descended to the mid-stage Sun Moon Realm, they would still be far more powerful than an average mid-stage cultivator.

This was due to their profound foundation, advanced comprehension of techniques, and superior skills in wielding divine powers, all of which greatly surpa.s.sed those of a typical mid-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivator.

An average mid-stage cultivator encountering such a peak Sun Moon Realm pract.i.tioner who had scattered their source power would likely be crushed in a single confrontation. The situation would be even worse with five such peak pract.i.tioners.

But Chen Fei was not an ordinary mid-stage Sun Moon Realm cultivator!

The guards at Thousand Rocks Mountain watched the changes in the sky with increasing tension, all drawing their weapons.

When Chen Fei had questioned them earlier, they had been somewhat unconcerned because they knew that under normal circ.u.mstances, Chen Fei would not harm them and would still reason with them.

However, facing alien races, who cared for reasoning!

Or rather, the strongest argument was the fist—against these alien races, they, as Mountain Sea Realm cultivators, would likely be annihilated with a single strike.

“Why talk so much? If you want to capture me, come and get me!”

Chen Fei had floated up, extending his right hand and beckoning to Tan Dongyuan and the other four with a gesture.

“You’re bold!”

Tan Dongyuan’s eyes had narrowed upon seeing Chen Fei’s gesture, and he had immediately dove downward.

“Boom!”

As soon as Tan Dongyuan and the other four landed in the Boundless Sea dimension, the entire realm began to tremble. Numerous chains of rules emerged from the s.p.a.ce, binding them tightly.
