Chapter 849: Four Dragons’ Ascension
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Good job!” Surprised, Xia Fei petted Furball on the head.
This fellow worked even harder, mining as fast as he could go!
Xia Fei was astonished by the changes to Furball. The same energy attack was now much more stable. It had already been two minutes, yet Furball had not stopped his energy beam for even one second. If Furball was given enough time, he may even be able to cut this planet in half!
“Furball is really strong! Just how much energy did he eat that he could unleash this sort of crazy attack?” Oro was also amazed.
Xia Fei was unmoved. In truth, what he was most surprised by was not Furball but his seventh brain region, instead! Alas, Oro did not know about that.
“Kill him!”
“Right, kill that Skywing kid!”
Xia Fei was leaving the Core Planet, but the three kings of Secluded Springs had just gotten back.
“Sage King, isn’t this sensation a little different from before?” asked Secluded Tune with a frown. Xia Fei had already taken the essence of the Ark fragment, and what remained was on the brink of an explosion. It would be far stranger if the sensation in the air was still the same!
Secludeless was alarmed at first, but then he waved his hand. “There’s no need to worry. We can’t be fooled by that Skywing brat again. That fellow is far too cunning!”
*Zing~*
As the three of them charged toward the Core Planet, the Ark fragment really began to explode!
*Rumble!*
With a ma.s.sive boom, flames rocketed into the sky! The power was the equivalent of ten thousand volcanoes erupting at once!
Turning ghastly pale, the three kings of Secluded Springs were once more forced to turn and run!
Secludeless mentally cursed. They had already run off, so what had they come back here for?!
…
The Dark s.p.a.ce.
The shockwave created by the destruction of Secluded Springs was dazzling as could be. Xia Fei stood in the void and watched as a world was set afire.
“It’s all thanks to Furball,” Oro said as he glanced at the tired Holy Beast. “I couldn’t believe he managed to maintain his energy attacks for so long. He’s like a superpowered cutting machine. In the future, if anyone upsets you, you can just have Furball cut the planet they live on in half.”
Oro was joking, of course, but Xia Fei truly felt happy over Furball’s promotion.
Besides happiness, Xia Fei felt very confused. Why would he have a mysterious connection with the Ark fragment, and why had that red drop of blood been created? Why had it rushed over to his seventh brain region and helped him expand it? What effect would a 101% open brain region have on him?
Xia Fei did not have answers for all these questions right now. All he knew was that the Ark fragment’s transformation had nothing to do with Furball. The cute Furball was very innocent this time.
‘Was it perhaps related to the drops of blood that bled from my left hand?’ Xia Fei asked himself.
Raising his hand, he saw that the fine wound had already healed as if nothing had happened.
No matter what, Xia Fei planned to keep the secret of the increase in his brain region’s openness to himself. He could not let anyone else know.
Suddenly, Xia Fei recalled that he still had a little one-eyed Demon Chrysalis with him. He had been so busy cultivating and promoting that he had forgotten about this little lifeform. He wondered if it was even still alive.
Reaching into his chest, Xia Fei took out the one-eyed Demon Chrysalis and placed it in his palm.
The little fellow balled up in pain. Despite all it had been through, it had not given up on life and was still struggling!
“Such a stubborn lifeform!” Oro remarked. “This fellow has a truly admirable will to live. It’s a shame that you have to leave the Dark s.p.a.ce. If you take it back to conventional s.p.a.ce, you’ll end up killing it.”
Though Oro had disliked this one-eyed Demon Chrysalis at the start, Oro had to admit that this fragile lifeform possessed a truly admirable will to live.
Xia Fei pouted. He really wanted to save this Demon Chrysalis, but it had already been shown that his medicines did not have the power to revive the dead.
His mind raced. Xia Fei then closed his palms together and slowly sent the disruptive force of the Law of Primal Chaos into the Demon Chrysalis’s body.
If medicine could not do it, then he could give the Law of Primal Chaos a try. After all, this was the most unreasonable law power, not differentiating between black and white. In any case, it was better to try everything possible.
After a few minutes, Xia Fei sensed that the one-eyed Demon Chrysalis had stopped moving. Frowning, he opened his hands.
“What a pity. It still died,” Oro muttered.
Xia Fei sighed. He took out a metal case from his ring and placed the Demon Chrysalis’s body inside, making it a coffin.
*Whoosh~*
Xia Fei tossed the case into the darkness.
“Let’s go,” Xia Fei gravely said, turning his head.
Perhaps because of the force of Xia Fei’s throw, the dying Demon Chrysalis in the case suddenly s.h.i.+vered and exhaled turbid air. Alas, the case was closed, so Xia Fei did not realize this.
…
Xia Fei successfully left the Dark s.p.a.ce. Heathfield had been keeping a close track of the movements within the dimension, even sending people to wait around the perimeter of the Secluded Springs. Thus, when the place got destroyed, Heathfield immediately led a large force out in a panic to search for Xia Fei.
Heathfield was even more shocked to see that Xia Fei was unharmed. Had Xia Fei single-handedly destroyed the Secluded Springs?!
Xia Fei said nothing about this, letting Heathfield speculate, fomenting an even more enigmatic image of the former in the latter’s eyes.
The Wind Garden.
Xia Fei greeted Wuye and then got ready to head to his training chamber. The growth of his brain region left him feeling slightly uneasy; he also felt like he was about to advance!
It had to be understood that Xia Fei was already a peak Great Law Emperor. One step more would be Law Overlord, so he was impatient to try!
“Young Master Fei,” Wuye frowned as he called, “the Feng family’s young master came again, hoping that you’ll come to Dragon Ascension soon. Even if you don’t plan to study there, you should at least report in.”
Xia Tian nodded and smiled. “I’m a little tired today, so I’ll go and see Zanian Feng and register at Dragon Ascension later.”
Wuye asked, “Have you been learning a weird technique again?”
Xia Fei was startled, asking in confusion, “Wuye, why would you ask that?”
“When I was looking at you just now, I realized that I couldn’t inspect your seventh brain region. As such, I’m wondering if you learned some sort of special technique.”
Stunned, Xia Fei managed to muddle through by saying that he really had learned a new technique that could obscure the brain region and prevent others from seeing.
Wuye tactfully stopped asking questions and simply reminded Xia Fei he needed to go and register at Dragon Ascension. Since the Feng family had sent people to invite Xia Fei more than once, they needed to be given a little face.
…
The training room.
Xia Fei and Oro discussed the changes to his brain region.
“It’s truly very strange. Normally, warriors have a lot of ways of hiding their brain region and preventing others from inspecting them, but the vast majority of methods don’t work as well on those of a higher rank.
“Your seventh brain region, on the other hand, is completely sealed and impossible to pry on; the technique used isn’t even one I know,” Oro said, a hand on his chin.
Xia Fei smiled. “Isn’t that a good thing? I hate it when other people could read me whenever they wanted. This saves me the trouble, as others will no longer see through my power.”
Oro lightly nodded and said no more.
Xia Fei could not help but be happy. After this modification, his brain region had been strengthened without attracting anyone’s attention. This was the perfect secret advancement.
The Law Realm was very dangerous; when it came to secrets, the fewer people who knew, the better.
*Pa!*
He lightly prodded his spatial ring, closing the connection with Oro. Xia Fei then used his mental energy to inspect his seventh brain region.
Xia Fei’s brain region did not seem that different besides being a little larger. The rainbow ball of energy was also the same as before, but Xia Fei knew that the mysterious ball of energy had grown even more exquisite after this incident, able to hold more energy without leaking it out.
Moreover, the energy ball was more stable, and this was seemingly all because of the drop of blood formed by the Ark fragment.
He had raised his cultivation to peak Great Law Emperor, his brain region had grown, Furball had advanced, and the energy ball had become even more stable. Xia Fei could not help but smile as he counted all the good things that had happened to him recently. This trip to the Secluded Springs had truly been too profitable!
Putting aside everything else, the 101% openness of his seventh brain region was a huge boon to Xia Fei!
A wider brain region allowed for more law patterns, and Xia Fei was making his way along the path of the Protean Master, so a larger brain region was exactly what he needed!
“That Ark fragment was so mysterious,” Xia Fei muttered as he lit a cigarette.
It was truly a strange matter. The more Xia Fei investigated the Cosmic Gate and the Ark, the stranger he found either to be. The Ark fragment was a heaven-defying existence, and as for why he could take the essence of the Ark fragment? Xia Fei had pondered this problem until his head hurt and had still not come up with anything.
“Forget it. Let’s just take things step by step. One day, I’ll find out what the Cosmic Gate is all about.”
Xia Fei closed his eyes and began challenging the Law Overlord heavenly threshold!
He had never felt as energetic as today. This was one of the effects of the Ark fragment!
…
Early in the morning, before the sun could properly rise, Xia Zonghai got up. Yesterday, he suffered his thirty-third loss in a row and felt very unhappy. He had turned over and over in his bed, unable to sleep as he thought of how he could avenge himself.
Walking into the courtyard, Xia Zonghai stretched. The moon had just set and the sun had not yet risen; a haze blanketed the world, making the stars seem all the more mysterious.
Suddenly—
Something had happened in the rear garden!
Four dragons spiraled into the air!
They joined together and pierced through the clouds!
*Pa!*
Xia Zonghai’s jaw dropped, the teapot in his hand shattering to bits on the ground!
*Whoosh~*
A dark figure silently went up to Xia Zonghai’s side. It was Xia Wuye, and the two of them looked up in awe at the phenomenon in the sky!
“Four dragons ascending to the stars! A Law Overlord has emerged?!” exclaimed Xia Zonghai in shock. “Wuye, who got past the Law Overlord heavenly threshold: Xia Yu, Xia Xing, or Xia Moran?!”
Xia Zonghai listed off three names, all of them peak Great Law Emperors of the Skywing Clan who were preparing to attack the Law Overlord heavenly threshold.
Wuye paled and shook his head. “There’s only one person in the house besides you and me.”
“Who?!” asked Xia Zonghai urgently.
“Xia Fei!”
