First update of the day! It's the last day on the homepage, so I'm strongly calling for more favorites!
Whew!
Only after confirming that he had escaped the mental lock of the crowd did Chen Xi exhale a long breath, only then realizing that his clothes were drenched in cold sweat.
Just now, when he was surrounded by Chai Letian and Su Jiao's groups, he was in a dire situation. Chen Xi's safe escape was not purely due to luck.
There were roughly two reasons for this.
First, after the fierce battle in the Classic Hall, Chai Letian and Su Jiao's group were already exhausted. The fact that Chen Xi could easily kill Li Huai, who had a Purple Mansion Realm cultivation, undoubtedly made them wary.
Second, Chai Letian's group and Su Jiao's group were suspicious of each other, worried that if one side attacked Chen Xi, the other side would reap the benefits.
Of course, there were many other factors, but compared to these, if Chen Xi had not keenly perceived these two points and taken concrete actions, it would have been impossible for him to leave so easily.
Even a tiny mistake in this process could have led Chen Xi to a place of no return.
Without further thought or hesitation, Chen Xi began to run as fast as he could.
As time passed, Chai Letian and Su Jiao's strength would gradually recover. If he could not find a safe hiding place during this time, everything would return to the previous dangerous situation.
The Southern Barbarian Nether Region was isolated from the world and would only reopen after three years, allowing one to leave.
In these three years, if Chen Xi wanted to avoid being hunted by Chai Letian and others, he had to find a secret place that no one could discover.
However, Chen Xi felt helpless. Not to mention finding a hiding place, even leaving this Sword Immortal Cave was beyond his reach.
When entering the Sword Immortal Cave, one could use the Domyo Order to be teleported through the Three Talents Shift Array. But how to leave?
There was no way out of the Sword Immortal Cave!
Chen Xi had already reviewed the entire map of the Sword Immortal Cave in the main hall and was very certain of this.
If the Southern Barbarian Nether Region was an isolated small space, then the Sword Immortal Cave was an even smaller space within it, with no other way in or out except the Three Talents Shift Array.
What a series of misfortunes!
After much thought, Chen Xi's steps had unconsciously headed toward the main hall of the Sword Immortal Cave.
When he was teleported in, he appeared in the main hall, and subconsciously, he considered this place his base.
Soon, Chen Xi returned to the main hall.
Looking at the simple room with only a bed and a desk, Chen Xi felt much more at ease. He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to rest with his eyes closed.
From entering the Sword Immortal Cave to now, it had been less than half a day, but for Chen Xi, every moment was extremely intense.
Searching for treasures, instigating a battle, killing Li Huai, collecting the Golden Spirit Lotus, and escaping from the encirclement... one thing after another, each more dangerous than the last, like dancing on the edge of a knife. One mistake could lead to total failure. Even though Chen Xi's body had been tempered to be extremely strong, he still felt exhausted.
Gradually—
The cool, cold air emanating from the jade bed calmed Chen Xi's mind, and all his杂念 were gone.
In his sea of consciousness, the Fuxi divine statue, emitting an ancient and vast aura, was as usual radiating countless rays of light. Chen Xi's divine soul sat cross-legged in front of the statue, looking calm.
His tense nerves gradually relaxed, and his mind and body began to recover, but he did not notice that a mist-like black shadow had quietly appeared in the jade bed beneath him.
Swoosh!
Chen Xi's body stiffened, feeling as if something had entered his body and was rapidly rushing toward his sea of consciousness.
What's happening?
Chen Xi suddenly opened his eyes, but before he could understand everything, he felt a loud buzzing in his head, followed by a sharp, hoarse voice.
"Hehehe... After waiting for over ten thousand years, I, Domyo, have finally found an excellent body. Heaven has not forsaken me!"
With the voice, a black shadow suddenly appeared in Chen Xi's sea of consciousness. It had a gaunt, pale face, sunken eye sockets, and eyes that were long and sharp like a blade, shining brightly.
"Ha ha ha... With this body, I can resume my cultivation. With a young Pixiu and the Golden Spirit Lotus in hand, how can I not pass the damned Ninth Heaven Rank?"
In the sea of consciousness, Chen Xi's divine soul suddenly stood up, looking at the black-clothed figure that had appeared out of nowhere, and shouted, "Domyo Immortal?"
"Correct. I'm sure you, little brat, also coveted the treasures in my cave and entered with the Domyo Order. Ha ha ha, unfortunately, your divine soul will be devoured by me, and your body will belong to me!"
Indeed, the black mist-like figure was Domyo Immortal's soul.
"Was all of this a trap you set up in advance?" Chen Xi asked coldly, his expression unchanged.
"Of course! Do you think I left the immortal cave and gave the Domyo Order to the outside world just for you to divide my treasures?"
Domyo Immortal looked at Chen Xi with pity, his long, sharp eyes filled with a burning greed. "Little one, let me devour your divine soul obediently. Being used by me, Domyo, is a great fortune you can never achieve in your lifetime."
"Hmph! Even if you devour my divine soul, you will only have a Congenital Realm cultivation. How can you leave here? There are many enemies outside who want to kill me."
"Boy, put away your tricks. Don't you just want to know how to leave the cave?"
Domyo Immortal glanced at Chen Xi disdainfully and sneered, "Since you're about to die, I can tell you, but..."
As he spoke, a killing intent flashed in Domyo Immortal's eyes, and he suddenly pounced, transforming into a rolling black mist that enveloped Chen Xi.
"But I'll only tell you after I devour your divine soul, ha ha ha!" From the rolling black mist, Domyo's triumphant laughter echoed, seeing Chen Xi clearly frightened and unable to move.
"Since you won't tell me, then die!"
As the black mist was about to envelop Chen Xi, his eyes suddenly burst with a bright, cold light.
Buzz!
A mournful, ancient sound suddenly echoed in the sea of consciousness. Then, a huge, gaunt old man appeared, barefoot and in rough clothes, sitting cross-legged in the void. He seemed like a towering mountain that could not be eroded by time, his eyes deep and vast, surrounded by countless divine lights. As soon as he appeared, he illuminated the entire sea of consciousness.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
As soon as the black mist was enveloped by the countless rays of light from the Fuxi divine statue, it began to dissipate at a visible speed, like ice melting in water.
"Ah! How is this possible? It's actually the true imprint left by a great being from the ancient times..." Domyo Immortal's voice was filled with endless terror, and he screamed, "No—"
Almost instantly, the black mist was completely incinerated by the countless rays of light, and the sea of consciousness still echoed with Domyo Immortal's dying cries.
Only after confirming that Domyo Immortal was thoroughly dead did Chen Xi breathe heavily.
Even facing just a wisp of Domyo Immortal's soul, Chen Xi felt immense pressure, a difference in realms that almost made him lose the desire to resist.
"Fortunately, I have the true imprint left by Senior Fuxi. This time, I clearly made the right bet. If not, I would have been unable to escape this disaster."
Chen Xi thought about what had just happened, feeling a deep sense of gratitude as he looked at the ancient, unchanging divine statue in his sea of consciousness.
Rumble!
At this moment, a sound like a thunderclap suddenly echoed, and the entire main hall began to shake violently, as if an earthquake had struck.
Is this main hall also going to collapse like the Hundred Herbs Hall?
Chen Xi quickly stood up and rushed out. However, to his horror, no matter where he went, there was a violent shaking.
The Treasure Hall, the Classic Hall... all the buildings in the Sword Immortal Cave were like dormant volcanoes that had awakened and erupted!
"What's happening?"
"Quick, escape! The Sword Immortal Cave is going to be destroyed!"
"Go!"
At this moment, whether it was Chai Letian's group or Su Jiao's group, their faces changed, and they quickly fled through the collapsing buildings, in a panic.
Outside the Sword Immortal Cave, the gray nightmare zone, the bloody mountain area, the red flame mountain range... were all being shaken by a force as if a god's hand was striking them. The ground split open with terrifying cracks that spread throughout the Southern Barbarian Nether Region.
The beasts were fleeing, their instinct for survival driving them to run in all directions in panic. However, no matter where they ran, they would eventually be swallowed by the massive cracks in the ground.
Crack! Crack!
The void seemed unable to bear the pressure, cracking open with black fissures. The shattered rocks that fell into these black fissures disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, the entire Southern Barbarian Nether Region seemed to be facing the end of the world, with the ground shaking and the void cracking, as if everything would be destroyed in the next moment!
...
"Huh!"
In the deepest part of the Southern Barbarian Mountains, a handsome young man in a purple robe stood on a cliff, lifting his eyes to look into the void.
He was tall and slender, with an exceptionally handsome face, eyes like a lake, and pupils that seemed to have two purple lightning bolts swirling in them. The blood-red sunset cast a mysterious and eerie glow on his face.
"Interesting, is this wasteland in the spatial rift about to be destroyed?"
The young man's eyes seemed to pierce through all barriers, allowing him to see things that ordinary people could not.
"Hmm, there are still people who haven't come out. Well, I've killed too many in recent days, even though they were just beasts. If the old man finds out, he'll scold me to death. Fine, I'll do some good deeds and accumulate some merit..."
The young man in the purple robe touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and then reached out into the void.
