Chapter 1001: Secretly
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The figure barely materialized, its aura extremely unstable, but it immediately stepped into the spatial rift ahead and moved several hundred miles away.
As soon as it moved, the pressure within the spatial rift shattered the figure’s already weak aura, as if a gust of wind could cause the figure to disintegrate completely.
The figure was, of course, Chen Fei. By using the Blood Rebirth of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, Chen Fei intentionally shattered the barrier of Suspended Peak Mountain to give his blood a chance to escape.
With the Blood Rebirth that came with the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, and as Chen Fei cultivated the Celestial Suppression and perfected it, the speed of Blood Rebirth and the distance between it and the main body had greatly increased.
Moreover, its concealment had also improved. At this moment, within this nearly collapsing body, the soul’s aura was quite different from that of the main body and was nearly imperceptible.
This allowed practitioners who, under extreme circumstances, had to rely on Blood Rebirth to escape a greater chance of fleeing.
Several treasures appeared and were quickly shattered, with their essence being rapidly absorbed by Chen Fei. Chen Fei did not stop, carefully targeting the spatial rift and stepping into it to continue his movement.
Using treasures like this was undoubtedly extremely wasteful because Chen Fei’s physical body was too weak at the moment, and the pressure in the spatial rift would continuously erode his strength.
However, Chen Fei’s most abundant resource at present was precisely these fifth-grade treasures.
After killing so many alien races, he had acquired hundreds of mid-grade Celestial Treasures, and among these treasures were a considerable number of fifth-grade spiritual materials.
If Chen Fei were to use them alone, he would hardly ever exhaust them.
Wasting a few treasures at this moment was a mere drop in the ocean for Chen Fei.
As long as he could quickly distance himself from Suspended Peak Mountain and find a weaker part of the spatial area to completely escape the Glass Space, it would be the most cost-effective thing for Chen Fei.
At present, Chen Fei still had two Rule Crystals with him. The combined value of all his assets was immense, and losing them in the Glass Space would be painful for him.
Since sensing the danger from the Indestructible Vision, Chen Fei had also done one more thing while constantly moving.
He had gathered hundreds of mid-grade Celestial Treasures, as well as the Qianyuan Sword and Concealment Bell—anything of high value—into a jade box, and then threw the box into the spatial grid.
Normally, space compartments cannot hold items with spatial attributes. For example, the Qiankun Bag that Chen Fei had used before could not be stored in the space compartment.
Forcing it would eventually cause the Qiankun Bag to collapse, spilling everything inside.
However, after Chen Fei obtained the Celestial Treasures, he discovered a method to seal the storage function of the Celestial Treasures directly, causing the space inside to solidify and shrink.
The solidified Celestial Treasures, with their internal space collapsing and the stored items consolidating together, effectively became a single entity.
In this case, they could be stored in the spatial grid.
As for the treasures Chen Fei had used earlier, they were pre-prepared within his blood.
In the Mid Sun Moon Realm, every drop of blood contained rich essence, which perfectly concealed the fluctuations of the treasures within the blood.
Sensing that he was being pursued by a Rule Integration Realm expert, Chen Fei had prepared this backup plan.
A head-on fight was definitely not feasible, and breaking through in the heat of the moment was simply not an option for Chen Fei due to the lack of time.
Breakthroughs also required time. If Chen Fei truly wanted to challenge a Rule Integration Realm expert, he would have to reach the peak of the Sun Moon Realm, which was absolutely impossible without a breakthrough.
Even if the breakthrough to a higher realm isn’t feasible, Chen Fei must definitely cultivate the Celestial Suppression to the Great Completion stage.
With this technique from the Yuan Clan, fighting across levels and even at higher realms is highly promising.
However, the cultivation speed of Celestial Suppression is even slower than breaking through to the Sun Moon Realm, and there’s not enough time.
After several displacements, Chen Fei’s new body, though continuously eroded, gradually stabilized, and the distance of his movement increased.
Fortunately, Suspended Peak Mountain, with its distorted rules, shielded Chen Fei’s escape from being detected by Qiu Yu.
After all, a Rule Integration Realm expert only controls fragments of rules. When surrounded by twisted rules, their perception of the outside world is severely diminished, especially since Suspended Peak Mountain was specifically targeting Qiu Yu.
This allowed Chen Fei to carve out a path for himself and, unexpectedly, obtain a Rule Crystal from Suspended Peak Mountain.
The Rule Crystal was an unexpected gain but also somewhat anticipated.
Most of the Rule Crystals in the Glass Space are concentrated in these eight perilous areas, and by breaking open Suspended Peak Mountain with the Star Shatter Slash, Chen Fei’s chances of obtaining a Rule Crystal increased.
The only regret was that there were Rule Integration Realm experts active in the Glass Space. Otherwise, given Chen Fei’s current strength, while he might not be able to flatten all eight perilous areas, his chances of acquiring Rule Crystals would have significantly increased.
Especially if he had the help of the Black Rat, the possibility would have been even higher.
Chen Fei focused his thoughts and concentrated on his journey.
The crisis was far from over. If one Rule Integration Realm expert appeared, a second or even a third could also show up.
This method of escaping through perilous areas, like a feigned retreat or secret passage, could only be used once at most.
At this moment, Chen Fei had transformed from his main body into a quasi-illusionary form inside Suspended Peak Mountain.
Thanks to his panels and spatial grids, Chen Fei had shifted to the body outside.
“Shatter!”
Chen Fei roared, his right hand forming a sword-like finger that thrust forward.
Despite Qiu Yu continually applying pressure to Chen Fei, trying to interrupt Chen Fei’s self-dissolution and combustion, he was momentarily unsuccessful.
While Chen Fei’s power application could not compare to the true Rule Integration Realm of Qiu Yu, the Star Shatter Slash brought him closer to the Rule Integration Realm.
Thus, Chen Fei managed to control his power to dissolve and burn, and Qiu Yu was unable to interrupt him.
Qiu Yu’s expression darkened as he looked at the incoming sword energy. With a casual wave, he shattered it completely and extended his right hand to capture Chen Fei’s physical body.
“You think you can capture me to threaten the human race? Don’t even think about it!”
Chen Fei let out a fierce roar, burning all the strength in his body to the last trace, ultimately transforming into a beam of sword energy that shot toward Qiu Yu.
The air was filled with a solitary and tragic aura, highlighting Chen Fei’s current mindset.
Qiu Yu’s expression changed slightly, not because of the power of the sword energy, but because this human genius was truly on the brink of death.
“Boom!”
Qiu Yu completely crushed the sword energy in his hand. He looked down at the sword energy, trying to see if he could save Chen Fei, but realized that this human genius was resolute, leaving no way back.
Qiu Yu blinked in confusion. Had he really shown an intent to kill?
Hadn’t he always been talking about confinement? Did this human genius not see that he had actually shown leniency?
And who had said anything about threatening the human race? How did this human genius end up imagining all of this on his own?
Frowning deeply, Qiu Yu realized that if this human genius died, their relationship with the human race would be completely severed, and any hope of seeking refuge with them would be impossible.
“Bang!”
Qiu Yu extinguished the sword energy with a casual gesture and glanced around, noticing that the environment within Suspended Peak Mountain was undergoing severe changes due to the recent battle.
The Glass Clan’s Rule Integration Realm experts did not fully understand the anomalies or the twisted rules.
After all, the Glass Space had never experienced twisted rules or such undying anomalies before.
Thus, the Glass Clan experts could not predict the transformations that might occur if the anomalies were overly provoked.
Qiu Yu waved his hand, trying to calm the turbulent forces within Suspended Peak Mountain and continuously lowered his own aura to avoid further stimulating the mountain’s rules.
After a moment, Qiu Yu left Suspended Peak Mountain.
Despite his efforts, Suspended Peak Mountain still changed, and Qiu Yu had done all he could. If further changes occurred, he would have to consult with other Rule Integration Realm experts from the Glass Clan on how to address them.
Just as Qiu Yu exited the barrier of Suspended Peak Mountain, a piece of information appeared in his perception.
The information came from the Mountain River Map, which had been inaccessible to him while he was inside Suspended Peak Mountain.
After reading the information, Qiu Yu’s face changed.
The human genius had not died. He was currently fleeing towards a weaker area of the Glass Space’s space, and this information had been relayed some time ago.
In the Central Mountain Range, another Rule Integration Realm expert had been dispatched to catch up with this human genius, but it was already too late.
If the Mountain River Map still had its ability to move freely, it could have directly intercepted him.
However, now the Mountain River Map could only relocate Rule Integration Realm experts out of the Central Mountain Range at most.
With a distance of over a million miles between the Central Mountain Range and Suspended Peak Mountain, even though Rule Integration Realm experts were fast, Chen Fei was not slow either.
After reading the information, Qiu Yu finally understood the behavior of the human genius in Suspended Peak Mountain. The so-called mutual destruction was a lie; the real intention was to delay him.
“Blood Rebirth… only Rule Integration Realm experts with partial rule mastery can control such a thing. How can a Mid Sun Moon Realm cultivator have this ability…”
Qiu Yu’s eyes were filled with bewilderment. Who would have thought that a Mid Sun Moon Realm cultivator could possess abilities that were usually reserved for Rule Integration Realm experts?
Moreover, not all Rule Integration Realm experts could use Blood Rebirth; it required specific rules to achieve it.
The fact that this human could unleash such powerful attacks was already extraordinary, but it could be explained away with some reasoning.
However, the Blood Rebirth ability, being a privilege of certain Rule Integration Realm experts, appearing in a Sun Moon Realm cultivator was entirely inconceivable.
Qiu Yu’s mind was in disarray, mixed with anger at being outwitted by a Mid Sun Moon Realm cultivator. Just as he was about to turn around and give chase, a new message from the Mountain River Map arrived.
The human had already reached a weaker area of the space, where a massive rift had been torn open by the human race’s Emperor.
It was too late!
