Chapter 1564: A Portal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Swoosh…

The Black Water Mystical Snake charged at Chen Xiaobei. The force that came from the attack was so huge that it dug a huge hole on the ground. Its moving body even crushed the jade doors that was located not far from it.

“Eh? Why did I fail to land a bite on that bastard? It’s not possible that he can move faster than me! How is that even possible…”

Though the Black Water Mystical Snake failed to injure Chen Xiaobei, it did not turn around. After seeing how fast Chen Xiaobei could move, it began to worry that his cultivation might be more powerful than it. Also, if it spent too much time fighting with Chen Xiaobei, more people might come here.

In the end, it decided to retreat to the third jade doors with lightning speed. At the same time, Chen Xiaobei was standing not too far from it. A layer of golden purple dragon scales was slowly fading off his feet. The shoes that he wore with him was long gone by now. Clearly, the reason why he managed to dodge the Black Water Mystical Snake’s attack was because he had triggered the third transformation of Witch Dragon Skill, Penetrate the Heaven. Once this ability was activated, it would allow him to teleport within a small area.

“Luckily, I have a lot of Spiritual Stones with me. If not, I would not have been able to dodge the attack just now…” said Chen Xiaobei with a sigh of relief.

Chen Xiaobei had got his hands on 500 million low-grade Spiritual Stones from the Chamber of Commerce during his last trip to the Northern Wilderness Starfield. Though he had just spent 300 million of it to purchase materials to fix the portal, he still had 200 million low-grade Spiritual Stones left, and that was an obscene amount of wealth.

In total, he had spent 2,000 Spiritual Stones on triggering the skill just now. The old him would definitely feel that he had just lost a huge of portion of his wealth. Now, 2,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones was nothing to him.

Earlier, he had just consumed 50,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones. Logically speaking, his Dantian would not be able to contain so much Spiritual Qi, but the Witch Dragon’s blood had allowed him to do so. Since all those Spiritual Qi that he consumed had fused with the blood, he could trigger the Witch Dragon Transformation Skill whenever he wanted to.

“Now, I think I should enter the third jade doors as well… bad things usually happen after the third attempt… I think something more terrifying is about to happen behind this jade door!”

Chen Xiaobei then calmed himself down and took a peek inside. To his surprise, he saw something that he had not expected. It was a tiny octagonal space which was no where near big enough to fit a creature the size of the Black Water Mystical Snake. Staring at the empty space, the Black Water Mystical Snake was long gone.

“This is weird… The forth jade doors do not exist here. Judging from the perfect condition of the floor and wall, how was it possible that a humungous creature like the Black Water Mystical Snake could have disappeared into thin air?!” wondered Chen Xiaobei while walked cautiously into the space.

After spending some time scanning around, he found nothing special. Immediately, he activated his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes and true enough, he found something this time.

“There… There is a portal here…”

Chen Xiaobei had his eyes fixed on the wall. Using only ordinary eyes to look at it, the wall that he was staring at was no different than the other walls around him. The truth was, that it was just an illusion. After he walked through the wall, he saw a silver portal. In other words, the Black Water Mystical Snake had used this portal to escape him.

“Now that everyone’s here, the snake is gone…”

Soon after that, everyone started to gather around and slowly walked to where Chen Xiaobei was.

“They will be here soon… I will have to enter this portal regardless of what’s behind it!”

Without any hesitation, Chen Xiaobei leapt into the portal.

“What’s going on? Where is the damn snake? It was at an advantage earlier! Why would it run away from this place?” said Zhou Daoxian after spending some time looking around.

“Faction Leader Zhou! I saw someone walk through this wall just now and the person looked just like… Chen Zhufeng!” said Feng Bucun while pointing at the wall.

Everyone was awestruck when they heard the statement. They were wondering if Chen Zhufeng had actually managed to defeat the legion of zombies and the Black Water Mystical Snake. Liu Xuanxin, Long Zishan, and the rest of the people could not help but feel baffled. Considering that even the nine demigods could do nothing about it, they were having a hard time figuring out on how Chen Xiaobei managed to complete this impossible feat.

“Are you sure that you saw someone walking through the wall?”

Zhou Daoxian frowned as he could not figure what was so special about the wall.

“I’m positive! Let’s try it if you want to know whether I’m telling the truth!”

Feng Bucun then walked towards the wall and used his sword to poke at it.

Swoosh!

The sword penetrated the wall without any resistance. Instead, there was some kind of force trying to pull him into it.

“This… How is this even possible?”

Upon seeing that, the hundreds of people present were left in shock.

“Bucun! Bucun! Can you hear me? Reply me!” shouted Feng Aotian at the wall.

“Alliance Leader Feng, you don’t have to shout anymore! If I’m not mistaken, there should be a portal behind the wall, and Bucun has been teleported to another dimension!” said Zhou Daoxian.

“This… Bucun is my one and only son! I have to go rescue him! All members of Five Swords Mountain Alliance, listen to my orders! Charge forward now!” said Feng Aotian.

Though Feng Aotian was still suffering from severe injuries, he knew that his son’s life was more important to him than anything else in this world. Immediately, he took the lead in bringing his allies to enter the wall.

“I’m afraid Xingxiu Faction is going to end our journey here… We shall meet again soon…”

Amongst them, Dong Xiadong suffered the most serious injuries. It was so bad he needed someone to support him while he stood up. He would never dare continue the journey anymore.

“Faction Leader Ding, please hold on! The returning path is being blocked by stones and mud. You would need at least ten to fifteen days to clear the rubble, and you might risk more rocks and mud crumbling down on you if you try to clear the path with brute force! Have you thought about the consequences?” said Zhou Daoxian.

“Si…”

Dong Xiadong took in a deep breath and gulped. Time was not the issue here. Everyone would be buried alive if the foundations of this place was severely damaged.

“My advice is for you to continue moving forward! Chen Zhufeng is not an ordinary person! He will never place himself in unnecessary danger! I’m pretty sure he has figured out a way to get out from this place since he dared to enter it anyway! Let’s follow him and who knows, we might stand a chance to leave the place alive as well!” said Zhou Daoxian.
