Xia Fei followed the majority of the Lionhearts into the Dark Space. Just as the vision system started working, Xia Fei spotted a behemoth!
It was no exaggeration to call it a behemoth, for this was a gigantic creature over fifty kilometers long! Its entire body was covered in a thick black carapace, and its two ends were pointed at the center, forming a conical shape.
On its head were countless black eyes, at least several thousand of them. At this moment, this monster was using its countless eyes to stare coldly at Xia Fei!
"What is this?!" Xia Fei's eyes widened as he anxiously asked.
Oro burst into laughter. "This is a Demon Chrysalis. I remember coming across one when I first came to the Law Realm. Why don't you recognize it now?"
"A Demon Chrysalis?! A Demon Chrysalis over fifty kilometers long?! "Xia Fei was speechless, saying in disbelief," This … This size is too ridiculous! The one I killed was at most five kilometers long, but this one is twenty times that! "
Xia Fei was indeed very surprised. This Demon Chrysalis was very similar to the one he had encountered before, but this one was simply too big! It was practically like a superwarship!
Oro laughed. "Whether it's fifty kilometers long or a thousand kilometers long, it's still a Demon Chrysalis. What's so surprising about it?"
"We of the Demon Race like to rear such creatures because space and the Dark Space have an inevitable connection. If an enemy comes out in the open, we'll naturally have our clan's warlords to defend against them, but if they try to sneak in through the Dark Space, the Demon Chrysalis will act as an interception and warning system."
Xia Fei pursed his lips. "Moreover, if we let the Demon Chrysalises out, they'll be able to wander around in the Dark Space, easily running to the enemy's home and causing trouble."
Oro smiled. "That's right. This is also one of the Demon Chrysalis's functions."
While the Demon Chrysalis was large, Xia Fei was not afraid of it. After all, Xia Fei was no longer the Law Overlord he was in the past!
Furball seemed to hate the Demon Chrysalis, growling as he bared his teeth.
He had always been a vengeful person, and his difficult battle with the Demon Chrysalis was still fresh in his mind. Now that he saw his own kind, his eyes turned red.
Xia Fei hurriedly suppressed Furball, keeping him quiet.
The Demon Chrysalis was no longer his enemy but a helper, and Xia Fei did not want Furball to hurt this big fellow.
Heathfield waved his hand, and 105 Law Emperors and above mounted the Demon Chrysalis, including Xia Fei.

The Demon Chrysalis's body shrunk before stretching out. That one action sent it a thousand miles away!
"This Demon Chrysalis is very obedient, probably because Heathfield has been feeding it for so many years. The Dark Space is close to a vacuum, making it very difficult for ordinary warriors to travel at high speeds. Using a Demon Chrysalis as a means of transportation is undoubtedly a very smart choice."
"Furthermore, Dark Space is very enclosed, just like the blood vessels of a human puppet. It's made up of many winding passageways, and there's no sense of direction or coordinates. Those who aren't familiar with the characteristics of Dark Space will easily get lost, but the Demon Chrysalises are natural Dark Space lifeforms, so they know where to go and how to get there the fastest. With them as guides, we'll be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort," Oro explained.
Xia Fei agreed with this point of view. Once they entered the Dark Space, be it the compass or the radar, everything would become silent, and they would have to rely solely on their intuition. Having a Demon Chrysalis leading the way was naturally a smart choice.
Actually, Xia Fei was not very sensitive when it came to matters of race. As long as they were not his enemies, Xia Fei was very willing to befriend any intelligent lifeform, unlike Furball, who had only fought one Demon Chrysalis and had already determined that all Demon Chrysalises were detestable.
However, Furball's personality had its benefits. Ever since he recognized Xia Fei as his master, he had always believed that whatever Xia Fei did was right, and he would never express any objection. Furball's performance was not bad, but compared to Xia Fei, he was a little less flexible. This was probably the weakness of exotic beasts. Even the most cunning of exotic beasts would be inflexible.
* Boom! *
The Demon Chrysalis was like a giant warship, carrying this powerful elite army as it rapidly advanced through the Dark Space. All around them was floating trash, most of which had been dragged in from the outside by the Demon Chrysalis.
"Now that we're here, you should at least tell me what's going on with Secluded Springs and Secluded Well, right?" Xia Fei asked.
The somber atmosphere around them was getting more and more intense. Xia Fei could tell from the sharp gazes of the Lionheart generals that a great battle was imminent!
As the saying went, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Xia Fei hoped to know who his enemy was and why they were living in this desolate Dark Space.
Oro sternly said, "The Law Realm has plenty of sapient lifeforms. It's a society where the strong gather, but any social form will always have a metabolism. After being eliminated by the Law Realm, some choose to leave, some choose to go to the Exiled Grounds, and some choose to live in the Dark Space. Secluded Springs is the headquarters of the Secluded Clan, a bunch of people who have been eliminated by the Law Realm."
Xia Fei was startled. He looked around. How was the Dark Space a paradise for life? Why would anyone choose to live here? Even the barren Exiled Grounds had a much better environment than this place.
Oro could see Xia Fei's confusion and chuckled. "Actually, the Dark Space has its own ecosystem. You'll find out in a bit. Secluded Springs is actually a very mysterious place."
"Then what about Secluded Well?" Xia Fei asked.
"Secluded Well is a prophet of the Secluded Clan, and he was once one of the most knowledgeable people of the Demon Race. It's said that he was exiled because he could understand the mysteries of the heavens, which made him a taboo among the two peak races. Aside from Secluded Springs, no one dared to take him in, so he came to live here a long time ago.
"To tell the truth, I don't trust my comrades of the Demon Race or the records in the history books, which is why I brought him here to find Secluded Well," Oro explained.
Xia Fei nodded. "That makes sense. History is written by people, and the people of the two peak races have their own standpoints. Someone like Secluded Well is no longer part of the two races, so there's no need to worry, making it easier to reveal the truth."
Oro smiled, agreeing with Xia Fei's view. Xia Fei frowned. "You seem to be very passionate about the Cosmic Gate. Why didn't you join the Guardians or the Rebels back then? Wouldn't you have been able to understand the problem with the Cosmic Gate then?"
Oro pursed his lips and unhappily said, "Do you think everyone is the same? You can do whatever you want and never follow the rules. Don't forget, I'm the emperor of the Lionheart Clan. If I were to join the Guardians, the entire Lionheart Clan would be implicated, which is equivalent to betraying the entire clan! "
Xia Fei came to a realization. He was someone important, so he naturally did not need to be bound by the rules, but Oro was completely different. After all, he represented the entire Lionheart Clan, so he had to be careful with every move he made. If a Lionheart emperor were to abandon his clan and betray the Law Realm to study the Cosmic Gate, he would truly become a huge joke in the Law Realm.
Thus, Oro would rather be ostracized by the Demon Race than implicate his clan because of his actions. In this way, this old demon was a rather responsible person.
Shaking his head, Xia Fei tossed away the random thoughts in his mind.
Since Oro felt that going to Secluded Springs to find a prophet who had been abandoned by the Demon Race could help him understand the Cosmic Gate, Xia Fei decided to make this trip!
No matter what kind of place Secluded Springs was, he would just have to make it through!
The atmosphere was getting more and more stifling, and the floating trash in the Dark Space was getting fewer and fewer. The surroundings were dark and empty.
The Demon Chrysalis slowed down, cautiously making its way through the enclosed space. The Lionheart warriors were all wearing masks, so it was impossible to see their current expressions, but it was not difficult to tell from their increasingly rapid breathing that these royal elites were already as taut as an arrow on a bow, ready to fight at any moment.
* Whoosh ~ *
A strange crimson figure suddenly appeared in the darkness and retreated into the distance.
Heathfield was just about to kill this ancient monster when Xia Fei hurriedly stopped him, sternly saying, "That's an informant of Secluded Springs.
“
"Here's the plan. You guys will escort me to the entrance of Secluded Springs, and with the help of the Demon Chrysalis, you guys will lure the guards out while I take advantage of the chaos to break in." Xia Fei instructed Heathfield according to Oro's instructions.
"And then? Don't you need us to go in with you? "Heathfield asked in surprise.
Xia Fei shook his head. "No need. It's inconvenient to move with so many people. As long as I go in, you guys will immediately retreat. Don't get entangled with Secluded Springs' men. Just wait for my news."
Heathfield nodded. After all, Xia Fei represented the emperor of his clan, so he naturally could not go against Xia Fei's orders.
It was just that he did not expect Xia Fei to go into Secluded Springs alone. The Lionheart elites he had brought this time were very powerful, and though they did not dare to sweep through Secluded Springs, with the strength of the one hundred three Law Emperors and two emperors, no one would be able to stop them. However, if Xia Fei were to go alone, the situation would not be as optimistic.
After a dozen or so minutes, a large group of Demon Chrysalis suddenly appeared in the Dark Space! There were several hundred of them!
They wandered aimlessly in the Dark Space, all of different sizes. Though they were all Demon Chrysalis, none of them could compare to Heathfield's hundred-mile-long Demon Chrysalis, with the largest being no more than twenty miles long.
Xia Fei was startled!
This was because there was a strange region behind this group of Demon Chrysalis!
It was like a giant heart that was exposed to the outside. Beneath the dark red surface were green veins, and the center was hollow, with a dark and deep passage leading to who knew where.
* Thump! Thump! *
Xia Fei seemed to be able to feel this heart growing in the Dark Space constantly beating and contracting!
"Do it! Now's the time! " Oro yelled. "The passage in the center of the heart is connected to Secluded Springs. Hide first, then take advantage of the chaos to charge in! Don't hesitate! "
At the same time, Heathfield gave the signal for an all-out attack. The giant Demon Chrysalis charged forward, its massive body churning the Dark Space like a tidal wave!
The Demon Race warriors were even more ferocious! They attacked as a group, and it was not long before they had slaughtered several hundred Demon Chrysalis, leaving the remains of the Demon Chrysalis everywhere.
"Breath Control!"
Xia Fei suddenly became silent, using the cover of the Demon Chrysalis' remains in the darkness to quietly approach the entrance to Secluded Springs. Meanwhile, the Lionheart warriors had formed a human wall, seemingly waiting for the enemy inside to counterattack.
Xia Fei decided to hide himself. The moment the Lionhearts and Secluded Springs started fighting, it would be the best time for him to charge in.
This was when a black object the size of a ping pong ball flew through the air. Xia Fei focused his eyes and saw that it was an extremely large Demon Chrysalis.
It had clearly been born not too long ago, and after being hit by the chaos of the battle, it was already on its last breath.
Xia Fei was very curious, so he reached out and grabbed it.
