Chapter 855: Tens of Thousands of Men

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Fei’s initial reaction upon hearing this news was that it might be another altar summoned from beyond the void, similar to the demonic creatures after the Thousand Feathers Alliance altar.

However, as the details unfolded, Chen Fei learned that this time, it wasn’t the creatures from the altar, but rather beings from another race.

They resembled the human race from the Boundless Sea in some aspects, but with slight differences in certain details. Most notably, the Fifth-Tier powerhouse guarding the spatial channel had four ears.

Inside the Great Hall of Thousand Feathers City, Chen Fei and the others watched the image formed by the activation of the natural energy of heaven and earth.

The Fifth-Tier powerhouse had ears stacked on top of each other on both sides of his head, initially appearing peculiar, but upon closer inspection, surprisingly harmonious.

Currently, the most elite forces of the Boundless Sea were concentrated in the Sacred City.

Therefore, unless highly confidential, the Sacred City would disseminate information about the current situation in the Boundless Sea widely to prepare everyone mentally.

This image was specifically engraved by the Sacred Land Sun Moon Realm experts and distributed to various factions within the city.

“What’s happening to our Boundless Sea? Why do powerful outsiders keep invading here?” Tang Shouchang expressed his puzzlement.

First, it was the Black Divine, and now there was a new spatial channel. Moreover, even Fifth-Tier powerhouses had arrived, clearly preparing for a large-scale invasion of the Boundless Sea.

The group fell silent, unsure how to answer this question.

Chen Fei frowned, gazing into the distance.

Tang Shouchang and the others only saw this one spatial channel.

But Chen Fei, having encountered the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele, the Evil City stele, the Thousand Feathers Alliance Altar, and the Fallen Leaf Mountain spatial channel—these were just the ones he had seen. There were likely others he hadn’t.

Like this spatial channel through which the Fifth-Tier powerhouse had arrived, Chen Fei had no prior knowledge.

Such ignorance was normal. Even for the experts of the Sun Moon Realm, their true perception range seemed quite small compared to the vast Boundless Sea.

Especially in foreign planes where spatial fluctuations were intentionally suppressed, the Sun Moon Realm experts could only perceive anomalies at very close distances.

If it were just a broad sense, they might not detect any clues at all.

Take the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele, which had been on the Middle Continent for many years. Chen Fei doubted that no Sun Moon Realm expert had specifically investigated it.

Yet, even so, no one had discovered that behind the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele, there was actually a connected spatial channel.

Only those naturally formed spatial channels, left without deliberate suppression of fluctuations, were relatively easy to detect.

Like the one in Fallen Leaf Mountain.

Outside the spatial channel in Fallen Leaf Mountain, by a stroke of luck, a hidden realm was formed, suppressing the fluctuations of the spatial channel within it, creating a concealment.

Even the experts of the Sun Moon Realm couldn’t monitor the entire Boundless Sea, let alone Chen Fei, a mere Mountain and Sea Realm pract.i.tioner.

The few spatial channels Chen Fei knew about were all encountered through fortunate circ.u.mstances.

“Perhaps it’s related to the Boundless Sea continuously lowering the upper limits of realms,” Chen Fei withdrew his gaze and remarked.

“The upper limits of realms?” Zhao Ruizheng and the others’ expressions changed slightly, pondering his words.

“Yes, the upper limits of realms.”

Chen Fei s.h.i.+fted his gaze, looking at the group, and continued, “In the past, the Boundless Sea could cultivate to the peak of the Sun Moon Realm, eventually shattering the void and ascending to higher planes. But now, the mid-level Sun Moon Realm is already the strongest, with no further advancement possible.”

When the pa.s.sage in Fallen Leaf Mountain was discovered, Chen Fei looked at two planes separated only by a small segment of void.

At that time, Chen Fei speculated that the invasion of so many planes into the Boundless Sea might be due to periodic changes in the void, much like when the Black Divine descended on the Boundless Sea thousands of years ago.

Now, thousands of years later, another cycle appears to be occurring.

However, when Demonic Body had gone to the opposite s.p.a.ce, Amber Jade Continent, Chen Fei discovered that there were no other planes invading Amber Jade Continent.

If it had really been the periodic fluctuation of the void, there would have been no reason for Amber Jade Continent to remain unaffected.

The highest realm in Amber Jade Continent could reach the peak of the Sun Moon Realm, just like the Boundless Sea in the past.

Now that the Boundless Sea could only cultivate to the mid-level Sun Moon Realm, why would other planes think the Boundless Sea was easy to bully?

Or perhaps, being limited to the mid-level Sun Moon Realm was just a surface issue. There might have been a deeper reason behind this, causing other planes to covet the Boundless Sea precisely because of this.

Discussing why so many planes had invaded the Boundless Sea seemed to have little meaning now. What had been most important was how to address this issue.

Compared to the anxiety of most people, the appearance of this new plane had actually made Chen Fei feel that the current situation in the Boundless Sea might be able to change slightly.

The Black Divine had been hiding all this time, seeking to restore his realm to Fifth-Tier, and then sweeping through the Boundless Sea to dominate the world.

This plan had had no flaws whatsoever. If Chen Fei had been in his position, he would have done the same. Because other Sun Moon Realms hadn’t had a good way to pinpoint the exact location of the Black Divine.

But now, there had been a variable.

A new plane had invaded, and they had already sent a Fifth-Tier powerhouse over.

The Black Divine had long regarded the Boundless Sea as his own domain. Just as he was nearing success, another race suddenly appeared, intending to contest it.

Who could tolerate such a situation?

Moreover, the Black Divine had been sealed in the Boundless Sea for thousands of years, lurking and waiting for this opportunity. How could he allow the Boundless Sea to fall into someone else’s hands?

An hour ago, Chen Fei had deliberately taken out a depiction of the Black Divine in his secret chamber.

As expected, the once eerily calm depiction of the Black Divine was now highly active, clearly indicating the southeastern region of the Boundless Sea.

That direction precisely aligned with the newly appeared spatial channel.

The Black Divine hadn’t sent his followers there yet, but judging from the fluctuations in the Black Divine’s depiction, countless creatures outside that spatial channel were probably being besieged by monsters.

However, the effectiveness of such a siege might not be guaranteed.

The Fifth-Tier powerhouse was in the mid-level of Fifth-Tier, directly at the upper limit of the Boundless Sea.

Such strength couldn’t be easily defeated by Fourth-Tier monsters, no matter how numerous they were.

Of course, monsters could stack on each other to reach Fifth-Tier.

But these Fifth-Tier beings were pseudo-Fifth-Tier, capable of destructive power that could handle Fourth-Tier creatures one by one, leaving little resistance from them.

But attempting to use such pseudo-Fifth-Tier ent.i.ties against a true Fifth- Tier, especially one in the mid-level, offered no chance whatsoever.

To drive out this mid-level Fifth-Tier outsider from the Boundless Sea, only the Sun Moon Realm from the Sacred Land or the Monster Emperors could achieve this.

In the past, the Sun Moon Realm and the Monster Emperors would not have hesitated for a moment; they would have already rushed forward to slay this outsider’s Fifth-Tier powerhouse.

Two fists were no match for four hands. However strong this outsider’s mid­level Fifth-Tier might be, they would eventually be slain, and the spatial channel behind them destroyed.

But now, with the Black Divine’s true form not found and the outsider being driven away directly, it seemed the Black Divine was poised to reap the most benefits.

A bizarre dynamic emerged among the three factions.

Several days pa.s.sed, and the Sacred Land promptly reported back on the situation at the southeastern spatial channel.

Just as Chen Fei had speculated, the area outside the spatial channel was indeed filled with monsters, charging forward one after another.

Monsters inherently lacked intelligence and had no fear of death. Even when facing a Fifth-Tier powerhouse, they showed no hesitation.

Unfortunately, the outsider’s Fifth-Tier powerhouse, wielding a long spear, sealed off the area around the spatial channel completely. Not a single monster could approach within a mile radius.

Even those stacked pseudo-Fifth-Tier monsters were unable to breach the perimeter set by the Fifth-Tier outsider.

Outside the spatial channel,

Several Sun Moon Realm experts from the Sacred Land stood around, seemingly aloof and unconcerned.

However, upon closer observation, one would notice that these Sun Moon Realm experts were mainly focused on the monsters.

They aimed to use these monsters to discern the location of the Black Divine’s true form.

Now that the Black Divine was exerting full force, he wouldn’t allow these monsters to besiege the area for days without relenting.

“No, the Black Divine is too cautious. In this situation, he’s not revealing any clues,” sighed one of the Sun Moon Realm experts.

“Gathering these Fourth-Tier monsters continuously is also a huge burden for the Black Divine. In such a siege, the one who may falter first could be the Black Divine,” said Zhan Xuming in a serious tone.

“So, have the other Sacred Masters come up with a plan?” Su Wenyu asked quietly.

The current situation was complex, but it might also be an opportunity for the human race of the Boundless Sea. The challenge was how to navigate this delicate balance, making decisions difficult.

“That spatial channel, Brother Chen has calculated that it’s extremely challenging even for Fifth-Tier power to pa.s.s through. We don’t know what methods this outsider used to arrive,” Zhan Xuming frowned.

However, since the outsiders have found a way to come over once, there’s no guarantee they won’t come a second or third time. Therefore, the safest approach would be to destroy this spatial channel.

But when to destroy it requires careful consideration.

“Our greatest enemy is still the Black Divine. The true strong among the outsiders may not dare to come to our Boundless Sea!”

The Boundless Sea limits the highest realm to only mid-level Sun Moon Realm. Any stronger realm that comes must dissipate its origin to enter the Boundless Sea.

Even if someone much stronger than the Black Divine were to come, they couldn’t enter. At most, they could burst the Boundless Sea’s plane.

But at that level, they probably wouldn’t even consider a place like the Boundless Sea.

Just as powerful beings from the Mountain and Sea Realm wouldn’t bother with first or second-tier places.

The outsiders don’t dare to bring their strongest here, for fear of failure. After all, nothing is absolute, even the Black Divine has been sealed for thousands of years.

In this case, if we can kill the Black Divine first and then kill this Fifth-Tier outsider, break the spatial channel, and solve the crisis in the Boundless Sea, we can solve it.

But unfortunately, the real body of the Black Divine did not come out.

“Before you, my friends, we came with good intentions. This Black Divine has been disturbing the Boundless Sea for so many years, and our race has a way to find his real body and kill the Black Divine. Isn’t it a good idea?”

A voice suddenly rang out near Zhan Xuming and his companions. They turned to see the outsider standing by the spatial channel.

“Let me introduce myself, I’m She Zijing.”

Seeing the gazes of Zhan Xuming and his companions, She Zijing casually destroyed a Fifth-Tier monster with a single shot. He nodded slightly towards them.
