Two freaks!
Without any sense of guilt, Xia Fei lit a cigarette and coldly looked at the corpses and the slowly flowing blood in front of him, his heart strangely calm.
Sixteen years old, seventeen years old, eighteen years old, nineteen years old …
Xia Fei had grown up amidst slaughter, killing from Earth to the Alliance, from the Alliance to the insectoids, and then from the insectoids to the Law Realm.
To be able to maintain such a calm state of mind after witnessing so many deaths and corpses was very telling in itself. It was as if Xia Fei was more accustomed to a dog-eat-dog world than others. This was probably the innate mentality of a natural warrior.
Footsteps came from the stairs, and a youth of about seventeen or eighteen years old walked all the way to the hall. He casually glanced at the corpses and took a deep breath, inhaling the smell of blood into his lungs, experiencing the taste of death.
He licked his lips, a hint of greed flashing across his lips.
Xia Fei curiously looked at him. This youth seemed to like blood even more than he did, enjoying the taste of death. Moreover, from the way he walked and his bearing, this person was definitely an expert!
"Xia Fei?" the youth whispered.
Xia Fei nodded.
"Oh. If you're going to the Dragon Ascension Conclave, don't drag me down. I won't let anyone drag me down, either."
Xia Fei smiled. There was no doubt that this was Yu Xiaobei, an outstanding member of the younger generation of the Yu family. Xia Fei had heard this name so many times that calluses were already forming in his ears.
"I'm not going to the Dragon Ascension Conclave just to drag others down." Xia Fei puffed out a ring of smoke and found a chair in the hall to sit down.
"I don't care why you're going. In any case, anyone who gets in my way will be taught a lesson, and the same goes for you. Don't think that I'll help you just because we're both from the Yu family," Yu Xiaobei sternly said.
Xia Fei frowned. "I don't like being taught a lesson by others, nor do I like to teach others a lesson."
After a pause, Xia Fei added, "I only kill."
Yu Xiaobei was slightly taken aback, but he soon broke into a smile, muttering to himself, "Interesting. Interesting."
With that said, Yu Xiaobei raised his head and walked outside, coincidentally bumping into Yu Peng, who was rushing back.
The main gate of Crow City was very wide, and it just so happened that the two of them were walking on the same path. Yu Xiaobei stood still, showing no intention of giving way. Yu Peng, on the other hand, frowned and took a step to the side, allowing Yu Xiaobei to pass easily.
In terms of seniority, Yu Peng was Yu Xiaobei's senior, and in terms of position, Yu Peng was the steward of Crow City. Logically speaking, Yu Peng should not have made way for Yu Xiaobei, but the truth was right there. Before Yu Xiaobei, Yu Peng did not put on any airs. What was even more frightening was that Yu Xiaobei thought that it was only right for the steward of Crow City to make way for him, and he did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. From this, it could be seen that Yu Xiaobei's pride was completely out of bounds. Other than the patriarch of the family, Yu Jiang, no one else would be worthy of his attention.
I've really lost my face today!
Chuckling bitterly, Yu Peng said, "Xiao Bei is already a peak Law Sovereign. Aside from Patriarch Yu Jiang, Xiao Bei and my brother Yu Jin have the highest cultivation. Of course, Yu Hua is also one of them, but he has long since stopped meddling in clan affairs."
Xia Fei did not comment. It was no wonder why Yu Xiaobei was so arrogant, reaching the peak of Law Sovereign at the age of seventeen or eighteen and preparing to break through to Law Emperor. Of course, he had the right to be arrogant.
Yu Peng squatted down and lightly brushed his finger on the ground. Han Yuudong's corpse immediately disappeared without a trace, as if he was performing a magic trick.
"You'd better never tell anyone about what happened today. Although killing is not illegal, it is forbidden in Crow City. Today, I will show you mercy. Don't do it again," Yu Peng said, putting up a fighting stance.
Xia Fei smiled and extended his right hand. "Key, if there's nothing else, I'd like to start cultivating."
Yu Peng passed the key to the dungeon to Xia Fei, nagging him about the rules of Crow City, and then he gave Xia Fei ten grade 4 Origin Crystals.
Xia Fei took the items and made his way underground, disappearing in no time at all.
Yu Peng stood in the empty hall and muttered to himself, "Freaks. Both of them are freaks!"
…
After locking the dungeon, Xia Fei sat on the floor.
There was a small mechanism on the spatial ring. Once activated, the space within the ring would be connected to the outside world, and Xia Fei could easily take out items. Lionheart Emperor Oro and the little robot Lil Pea, who were hiding inside, could also communicate with him. If Xia Fei wanted to do something that he did not want Oro to know, he just needed to turn off the mechanism and seal off the space.
"Master, do … do you need me to clean up the place?" Lil Pea nervously asked. Normally, Lil Pea would rush out to clean up the place the moment Xia Fei found himself in a new environment, but he was actually hesitating today.
Most likely, the howling in this dungeon had scared Lil Pea, making him very afraid.
"Just rest well. If you have time, go and tidy up the things in the ring."
Lil Pea repeatedly nodded in agreement, feeling somewhat guilty. However, that Fiend's Bloodcry was too terrifying, and even a robot like him could not withstand it.
"Oro, you're an expert, so you should know how the Fiend's Bloodcry is produced, right?" Xia Fei asked.
Oro chuckled. "If my guess is correct, there might be a hidden space in this dungeon, and that's where the sound is coming from."
Xia Fei was puzzled. "Hidden space? Shouldn't it be completely sealed off? How could the sound be coming from there? Could this space have already collapsed? "
Oro helplessly shrugged. "That's just a possibility. After all, I haven't done a thorough investigation. Besides, though you heard the sound, it's actually a kind of telepathy, using an extremely minute energy to affect your brain, creating an auditory hallucination. It's not really a sound.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask your robot companion. What he felt wasn't a sound but a kind of high-frequency electrical wave that made him feel very uncomfortable."
Xia Fei was stunned. Entering the brain and creating auditory hallucinations? This ability was truly incredible! It was equivalent to a high-tier illusion ability! Moreover, it was a non-physical illusion!
"I'm also very curious about the situation here, but since you need to break through to Law Sovereign in a short period of time, you should wait until after you've broken through to explore the mysteries of this place," Oro said.
Xia Fei nodded. Right now, the most important thing was to break through as soon as possible and obtain the right to participate in the Dragon Ascension Conclave. As for the secret of the dungeon, that could wait until later. He had already obtained the right to enter Crow City, so even if he returned from the Dragon Ascension Conclave, he could come and go as he pleased, so there was no rush.
Turning off the mechanism, Oro and the robot Lil Pea could no longer speak. Xia Fei began to focus on his cultivation.
Furball did not seem to be affected by the ghostly wails and howls. It stared at the row of Origin Crystals by Xia Fei's side, practically drooling.
After some thought, Xia Fei handed one of the crystals to Furball. There was no need to mention how excited the beast was, nearly hugging Xia Fei and gnawing on it. This was a precious grade 4 Origin Crystal, a hundred times the energy of a grade 3 Origin Crystal! To Furball, it was a top-grade delicacy!
In any case, the Yu family had prepared a hundred grade 4 Origin Crystals for Xia Fei, so it would be a waste not to use them. Since Xia Fei could not use that much energy in the next fifteen days, he might as well give it to Furball.
Taking out the white jade ape, Xia Fei placed a grade 4 Origin Crystal into it. The energy slowly flowed into Xia Fei's seventh brain region, and the Law of Space totem slowly began to form.
Xia Fei was consolidating the results of his cultivation. Xia Fei was well aware of the principle of more haste, less speed. Before breaking through to Law Sovereign, he needed to perfect the first totem of the Law of Space.
Nine mystical images rose one after the other, like a string of exquisite kites, floating in his mind.
About twelve hours later, Xia Fei took out a silver metal plate from his spatial ring and hung it on the wall.
This was the second totem of the Law of Space. As long as he could cultivate it to the first level, he would be able to become a Law Sovereign!
This totem was far more profound, profound, and complex than the first one Xia Fei had drawn before.
If the first totem was like a planet, needing to depict the mountains and rivers of the planet in detail, then the second totem was like a galaxy, needing to depict the existence of several or even a dozen planets at the same time. The difficulty was dozens of times greater than before!
Calming himself down, Xia Fei began his attempt at cultivation.
He did not use any Origin Crystals, for I, Yu Hua, had taught him that the technique to break through was in pure mental energy after the tide had receded, in exhaustion!
Without any Origin Crystals to replenish it, the energy stored in Xia Fei's body would quickly be depleted. After all, this was the second totem, the path to becoming a Law Sovereign. It was abnormally treacherous and rugged!
The fine line had been stuck from the very beginning. The complexity of cultivation was far beyond Xia Fei's expectations, and he needed to have even more precise control over his Origin Energy!
Just as the energy was about to be depleted, a long and mournful howl could be heard. When a person was at their lowest point, it was easiest for them to be shaken by the outside world. Xia Fei felt his brain region go into chaos, his heart rate increasing, and his blood flow speeding up! That totem, which had only completed a tenth of its length, instantly turned to dust!
Beads of sweat covered his forehead; it was all cold sweat!
Due to using the exhaustion cultivation method, Xia Fei was suffering the torment of the Fiend's Bloodcry. He had to use a hundred times more energy than before to resist this enticing voice in his heart.
His throat was parched, and his face was pale.
Opening his eyes, Xia Fei adjusted his breathing.
"That was close. Not only did I have to cultivate, but I also have to divert my energy to resist the Fiend's Bloodcry. Isn't this a little too crazy?" Phantom said in a deep voice. In that split second when Xia Fei's body and mind were unsteady, he had nearly gone berserk.
Xia Fei shook his head. "It's difficult, but I won't give up! The Fiend's Bloodcry can tempt me, which means that my willpower isn't strong enough. "
Xia Fei's stubbornness and insanity were once again manifested. After resting for a few minutes, Xia Fei once again immersed himself in cultivation, fighting against the Law of Space and the soul-stirring Bloodcry!
On the first day, Xia Fei's cultivation was very difficult, needing to stop and rest from time to time. His sweat was like rain, but on the second day, Xia Fei's need to rest and reorganize had significantly decreased. From the third day onward, Xia Fei could last at least an hour on average!
This was definitely an astonishing number! It must be said that Xia Fei was not just facing the pain of cultivation. It was as if the Fiend's Bloodcry was constantly tempting him, and that was the greatest torment!
You reap what you sow. To achieve heights that others could not reach, he had to endure pain that others could not.
