Chapter 1602: Chapter 1602: The Black Dragon Immortal Emperor’s Castle
"My lord, I am the Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor." This Immortal Emperor of the Fifty-fifth-layer introduced himself first.
Ye Feng asked, "You mentioned before that you know people who escaped from the Black Prison. Tell me, who are they?"
Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor replied, "Back then, my cousin, the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor, successfully escaped. Before leaving, he even asked me to go with him, but I was afraid of the dangers, so I didn’t dare go with him. Who could have guessed, he actually succeeded. Now looking back, I truly regret it."
"Black Dragon Immortal Emperor?" Ye Feng was stunned.
Wasn’t he the Ancient Immortal Emperor from the Black Prison Demon Sect who initially came to Misty Sect seeking trouble? He descended from the sky in a black coffin with great pomp, but unfortunately, his strength was weak and was easily defeated by Ye Feng.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng laughed and said, "So, you’re the cousin of the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor."
"Lord, you know my cousin?" Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor’s pupils widened, filled with surprise.
"Yes, I know him." Ye Feng nodded.
"Lord, then we are acquaintances!" Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor felt relieved in his heart and laughed.
"Indeed, we are acquaintances." Ye Feng nodded and extended his hand, conjuring a three-dimensional hologram of the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor above his palm, "Is it him?"
Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor gazed at the hologram of the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor, his eyes full of reminiscence, and said, "I never thought that after so many years, I would see my cousin again. If only I had known he could escape, I would have followed him back then."
After a pause, he asked:
"Lord Ye Feng, may I ask where my cousin, the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor, is now and how he is doing?"
"He is very happy." Ye Feng lied, "Those Ancient Immortal Emperors who escaped from the Black Prison formed a force outside called the Black Prison, which was later renamed the Black Prison Demon Sect. It is presided over by the Silent Death Emperor, a Seventy-layered Immortal Emperor, and there’s a legend of another Immortal Emperor, nicknamed the Black Prison Master, of the Eightieth-layered, but I don’t know his real name."
"The Black Prison Demon Sect?"
"If we can escape, we must join this Sect for mutual support."
"Absolutely, considering our notorious reputation outside, uniting can prevent being besieged and killed by the Universe’s major forces."
The ten Ancient Immortal Emperors present exchanged glances, seeing the excitement in each other’s eyes.
"Do you know the Silent Death Emperor?"
Ye Feng began to dig for information.
He did not reveal his hostile relationship with the Black Prison Demon Sect, nor did he mention that the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor had already fallen, to make these people relax their guard and reveal secrets.
"I know." Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor nodded, "This lord once resided in a castle hundreds of thousands of miles away. It was a Phoenix with hundreds of Ancient Immortal Emperors under its command, practically covering the sky with one hand."
"So, do you know who the Black Prison Master is, and do you know who all the other Immortal Emperors that escaped the Black Prison are?" Ye Feng said seriously, "I need to figure out this information, then visit their residences to study the escape method."
Hearing that Ye Feng was studying a way to escape, everyone seemed to be energized.
"I know the castle where my cousin, the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor used to live, and I know a few places where the Silent Death Emperor once stayed," Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor quickly said, trying to seize the opportunity to build a good relationship with Ye Feng, so that when Ye Feng discovered a way to leave, he could follow along.
"Do you have a map?" Ye Feng asked.
"Yes." Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor extended his hand, and a yellowed map appeared above his palm, detailing the surrounding area within hundreds of thousands of miles.
Ye Feng looked over.
The content on it was very detailed, with all completed castles marked, totaling over a thousand, making him catch his breath.
"A small castle houses ten Ancient Immortal Emperors, with a thousand castles that’s over ten thousand people? Just within hundreds of thousands of miles, so many prisoners are detained, how many people must there be in the entire Black Continent?"
Ye Feng couldn’t help but exclaim.
Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor said, "Some castles were never inhabited after being built, some castles have people but not as many as you might think."
Ye Feng asked, "Is it marked on the map?"
"No." Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor shook his head, "When I passed those castles, I only looked from afar, fearing being suppressed by the Ancient Immortal Emperors inside, and being forced to help them carry bricks. However, on the Black Continent, each castle houses at most ten people, this much is certain."
"Why is that?" Ye Feng asked again.
"It seems to be a regulation from ancient times; prisoners sent to the Black Continent are shuffled and randomly assigned to different castles. Moreover, the number of people in each castle must never exceed ten. Once overpopulated, it doesn’t take long for Black Prison Demonic Beasts to come and drive away or even devour the excess prisoners."
Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor explained.
"I see." Ye Feng understood and pointed at the map, "Help me mark the castles of people you know. I need to visit them."
"Alright!"
Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor quickly marked the map, his face full of joy, dreaming of the day Ye Feng would find out how to escape and take him along.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.
Seeing Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor complete the markings, Ye Feng took out the Black Compass, revealing the actions of Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor and the surrounding Immortal Emperors.
First was the Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor.
This person was a top genius of the Dragon Clan, born with countless cultivation resources, he mixed with his cousin, the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor, often bullying the Dragon Clan’s dragon maidens.
Not only that, the two of them wreaked havoc outside, forcibly dual-cultivating to death any woman they fancied in public; it was extremely cruel.
They often exterminated entire clans, which was even more hateful.
"Oh!"
The ten Immortal Emperors present saw the images projected by the Black Compass, and upon realizing it was their "glorious deeds" of the past, they chuckled.
"Lord Ye Feng, how do you know these things?"
The Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor asked with a sly smile.
Ye Feng responded coolly, "You guys really went wild, no wonder you were imprisoned in the Black Prison."
A Fifty-layered Immortal Emperor laughed, "That’s nothing, I even used to think about raising countless exquisite human women as furnace cauldrons to devour back in the day!"
"No wonder people say that those imprisoned in the Black Prison are all villains guilty of monstrous crimes. It seems it’s indeed true." Ye Feng put away the compass.
"Lord Ye Feng, what did you and your friend Hu Feifei do to also end up being imprisoned here?" The Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor couldn’t hold back his curiosity.
The other Immortal Emperors also looked over.
Ye Feng put away the map and said, "I’ve been quite active recently; first, I wiped out the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor, then flattened the Black Prison Demon Sect, and killed many ancient Immortal Emperors who escaped from the Black Prison. How about that?"
Upon hearing this, everyone had their pupils contract.
"You killed my cousin?"
The Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor flew into a rage.
"Indeed." Ye Feng nodded, "To be honest, I’m not a prisoner locked up in the Black Prison. I came in specifically to execute you all."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Feng directly attacked.
Countless fist shadows smashed out, and the ten ancient Immortal Emperors, including the Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor, had their divine souls crushed, dying and dispersing into energy on the spot.
Ye Feng took the opportunity to devour.
His cultivation level increased once again. Although he couldn’t advance to the fifty-second layer of the Creation Realm yet, he made considerable progress and was quite pleased.
"Feifei, let’s go to the castles of the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor and Silent Death Emperor."
"What about the Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor’s castle?"
"There’s nothing worth exploring over there. Besides, I’ve memorized this place; we can come back to search if needed later."
"Okay."
The two discussed as they walked away.
Dozens of miles away.
The tall humanoid creature composed of countless small cubes looked around, realizing it could no longer sense the aura of the Dragon Breath Immortal Emperor and the other ten Immortal Emperors. It immediately halted the production of black bricks, and its form gradually crumbled into black soil.
The surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet.
...
In the Black Forest.
Ye Feng and Hu Feifei were walking briskly.
Due to the extremely powerful restrictions on the entire Black Continent, even though they were strong, they could only fly low here.
Even their divine sense couldn’t extend too far.
At this moment, Ye Feng said:
"This place is somewhat like the Void Realm, which specializes in burying the corpses of top geniuses, erecting tombs for them. The Black Prison, on the other hand, is for imprisoning ancient criminals. Although similar, their functions are completely different."
"And the Void Realm has the Three-legged Golden Toad and Void Beast, just as the Black Prison contains mysterious Black Prison Demonic Beasts."
"It seems these two places might share some commonalities, which we must study carefully."
Hu Feifei listened to this and, after thinking carefully for a long time, nodded in agreement.
Half a day later.
The two arrived at a desolate castle.
Opening the door, Ye Feng found the yard filled with one-foot-tall black cedars, and small saplings had grown from the cracks in the black-bricked ground.
"This is the Black Dragon Immortal Emperor’s castle."
Ye Feng pointed around, "Feifei, let’s thoroughly inspect this place and see if we can discover any important clues."
"Got it." Hu Feifei nodded.
