Chapter 407: Reverse Wound Thorn Armor

Chen Fei got up and walked to the cave entrance, gazing at the rising sun outside.

At first, the sun was obscured by the clouds and mist, appearing somewhat dim. However, in just a moment, the radiance of dawn pierced through the clouds, enveloping the entire world.

A gentle breeze brushed by, causing Chen Fei’s hair to flutter behind him. A faint smile appeared on his face as he turned and walked back into the cave.

He began to categorize his belongings one by one, placing them neatly in the wooden cabinets within his spatial storage. As for the spiritual items he intended to sell, he wrapped them all in bundles.

As Chen Fei was tidying up and about to place the wooden cabinet into his spatial storage, his palm suddenly paused.

He looked at the wooden cabinet before him, and a possibility suddenly crossed his mind. It wasn’t directly related to the cabinet itself but rather about his spatial storage.

It wasn’t about opening a second spatial storage, even though Chen Fei really wanted to, but the panel had never given any indication, and he had no way to do so.

He even began to suspect whether he needed to accumulate five thousand yuan stones before the panel would provide a new prompt, just like when he first acquired five thousand taels.

Currently, Chen Fei didn’t have five thousand yuan stones, and even if he did, he wouldn’t use them to open a second spatial storage. Instead, he would use them to improve his cultivation.

Chen Fei suddenly stopped because he thought about the Strange Heart Realm.

Previously, inside the Strange Heart Realm, whenever Chen Fei refined the Strange Heart Origin, the hostility from the realm towards him would skyrocket. Chen Fei’s plan was to cultivate the Thousand Threads Technique to the ninth level and see if the ninth level’s characteristics could bring the Strange Heart Origin into reality.

Chen Fei had also considered using his spatial storage to stash the Strange Heart Origin inside.

However, within the Strange Heart Realm, Chen Fei couldn’t summon the spatial storage. His instinctive reaction at that time was that the spatial storage might be linked to the physical body, which was why there was no response within the Strange Heart Realm.

But now, after resolving the matter with the Sword Return Tower and having no other pressing issues, when he saw the wooden cabinet again, Chen Fei suddenly wondered whether it was because the spatial storage had the wooden cabinet inside that it couldn’t manifest.

In the Strange Heart Realm, only the mind could enter, and most things from the physical world couldn’t penetrate into the Strange Heart Realm. Could it be that the presence of the wooden cabinet in the spatial storage prevented it from manifesting in the Strange Heart Realm?

Chen Fei wasn’t sure if this was the reason, but since the idea had occurred to him, he naturally wanted to give it a try.

Reaching the ninth level of the Thousand Threads Technique would require a considerable amount of time, and even if he managed to do so, was it guaranteed that he could drag the Strange Heart Origin out?

Without trying, Chen Fei wouldn’t know, so if there was another way available, he would naturally attempt it, with no real cost to trying.

Moreover, if the spatial storage could indeed work, it would undoubtedly be a safer method.

A clone emerged from Chen Fei’s body, holding the Qianyuan Sword and the necessary Dragon Elephant Formation.

Having done all of this, Chen Fei formed hand seals, closed his eyes slowly, and when he opened them again, the world around him had turned grey.

Illogical murmurs echoed in Chen Fei’s mind, growing even more pronounced as he refined the second Tier 2 Evil. The contamination from these murmurs had become more extreme.

When he was in the Body Tempering realm, Chen Fei used this contamination to purify his mental power. At that time, it was through this method that he had elevated his mental power far beyond his peers.

However, now that Chen Fei was in the Aperture Tempering realm, and the later stages of it at that, this level of contamination couldn’t purify his mental power anymore. It only seemed to cause disturbance.

Suddenly, Chen Fei looked up to his left, where he sensed a terrifying presence – the kind of pressure that only Tier 3 or higher Evils could exert.

Fortunately, it was at a sufficient distance, and that Tier 3 Evil seemed to have sensed Chen Fei’s presence, displaying signs of restlessness towards him.

Chen Fei furrowed his brows slightly. In the past, those Evils of Tier 3 or higher wouldn’t react much even if they sensed Chen Fei’s presence.

In the eyes of those Evils, Chen Fei was like an ant, not worth personally dealing with. It was tasteless to devour him, and even if they did, it provided them with minimal benefit.

However, now that there was enmity toward Chen Fei from the Strange Heart Realm, these powerful Evils seemed to irrationally dislike him.

When aversion surfaced, sometimes it wasn’t a matter of worthiness but rather a question of desire.

Fortunately, after a brief fluctuation in the aura of that Evil, it quieted down. Apparently, it had no intention of traversing such a long distance to consume Chen Fei.

Chen Fei breathed a sigh of relief. If that Evil had truly moved, his first action would have been to leave the Strange Heart Realm and re-enter from a different location.

However, judging from the response of the Tier 3 Evil just now, if Chen Fei killed and refined another Tier 2 Evil, and the hostility in the Strange Heart Realm continued to increase several-fold, it would become extremely difficult for Chen Fei to move around in the Strange Heart Realm.

Tier 3 Evils could still be managed, as Chen Fei could simply return to the real world upon sensing their presence.

But if he encountered Tier 4 or higher Evils, and if he had the misfortune of being too close, the question of whether Chen Fei had a chance to leave immediately would become a real concern.

Chen Fei lightly tapped forward with his finger, creating a rift that only he could perceive in front of him.

Chen Fei’s eyes brightened. The spatial storage could be opened. It was indeed because of the wooden cabinet that the spatial storage had been sealed in this place.

After all, compared to the immense rules of the Strange Heart Realm, the spatial storage had no rights whatsoever and naturally couldn’t resist the rules of the Strange Heart Realm.

Chen Fei wore a smile on his face as he activated Star Gazing Art, scanning the surroundings and locking onto a Tier 2 Evil ahead. With a swift movement, he vanished from his original location.

The fact that he could open the spatial storage was a significant success. Now, it all depended on whether he could toss the Strange Heart Origin into the spatial storage.

After a moment, Chen Fei arrived before a patch of black mist. However, within this black mist, there was no sign of any figure.

Chen Fei took a step into the black mist, and a chilling sensation spread all around him. This coldness continued to erode his body, and even the murmurs in his ears began to diminish.

It wasn’t that the contamination from the Strange Heart Realm had lessened; rather, this black mist had already contaminated Chen Fei. The contamination carried by the murmurs was actually decreasing in its effectiveness.

The ground became somewhat muddy, and black mud clung to Chen Fei’s feet. Dark lines coiled around his soles, creeping upward. After a moment, his legs were completely black.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed as though something was trying to emerge from within his legs.

Chen Fei glanced at his legs but didn’t pay much attention. This was a characteristic of this black mist. Even if he cleared away the contamination while inside it, the black lines would rapidly spread again.

To avoid this, he had to leave the black mist or possess the strength to shatter it with a single sword strike.

Within the mist, there was still no sign of the Evil. Chen Fei walked into the middle of the black mist and noticed a water puddle on the ground. The muddy ground around it seemed to be caused by this puddle.

Chen Fei took a step forward and looked into the puddle.

His reflection appeared in the water puddle, but due to the dim light, his face seemed somewhat pale in the reflection. There was a hint of lifelessness in his eyes, perhaps due to the gloomy weather.

Chen Fei glanced around, but the Evil still hadn’t appeared.

However, in the moment Chen Fei raised his head, the reflection in the water puddle didn’t mimic his action. Instead, it continued to stare fixedly at Chen Fei, and its mouth slowly stretched into a grin, eventually extending all the way to its ear.

“Find something funny?”

Chen Fei suddenly lowered his head, and his right hand swiftly plunged into the water puddle, grabbing the Evil’s neck at the center of the reflection. However, as Chen Fei tightened his grip, he felt his own neck being constricted by something.

In the Strange Heart Realm, it was the mind, and the mind didn’t need to breathe. However, at this moment, Chen Fei strangely felt a choking sensation.

As Chen Fei continued to tighten his right hand, the sensation of suffocation grew stronger.

Chen Fei’s expression shifted slightly. It was the first time he had encountered this kind of Evil. In the next moment, a sword light flashed, cutting directly into the water puddle.

“Hiss!”

A sharp hiss sounded in Chen Fei’s ears, and he felt as if a sword intent was trying to pierce his mind. However, it was immediately blocked by the Thousand Threads Technique and the Suppressing Dragon Elephant.

“It can actually rebound everything!”

Chen Fei was genuinely surprised this time, but immediately, dozens of Godslayer Sword surged into the water puddle.

For most cultivators, the strength of mind attacks should be roughly equal to their mind defense. If one cultivated a special mind technique, their mind attacks might even surpass their mind defense.

However, for Chen Fei, his mind defense far exceeded his mind attack strength.

The Mirror Image Godslayer Sword was a technique that created mind reflections of oneself. Without the existence of the Slaughter Spirit Technique, the Mirror Image Godslayer Sword’s strength was actually quite weak. It was only with the Slaughter Spirit Technique that the Mirror Image Godslayer Sword became significantly more powerful.

However, this level of power couldn’t break through Chen Fei’s own defense. So when faced with this Evil that could rebound attacks, Chen Fei didn’t hesitate.

His move was to unleash dozens of Godslayer Sword!

Let’s harm each other!

“Hiss!”

The same sharp hiss resounded, but this time, the hiss abruptly stopped halfway. It wasn’t that it didn’t want to continue screaming; it was because the dozens of Godslayer Sword had completely killed this Tier 2 Evil.

A cloud of black mist appeared in front of Chen Fei, the origin of this Tier 2 Evil.

If it were anyone else facing such a Evil, they might have to admit defeat, especially since the first one to succumb to injuries would likely be themselves. Evils could slowly recover while shrouded in this black mist.

However, Chen Fei was not like anyone else.

He pointed his right hand forward, summoning the spatial storage. Chen Fei guided the Strange Heart Origin, and in the next moment, the Strange Heart Origin disappeared.

A smile couldn’t help but appear on Chen Fei’s face. The Strange Heart Realm didn’t react in any other way to his actions.

With a slight movement of his mind, Chen Fei opened his eyes in the real world.

He summoned the spatial storage and saw the serene Strange Heart Origin inside. The Strange Heart Origin, capable of severely contaminating the mind, showed no signs of affecting the spatial storage.

The Strange Heart Stone floated, and Chen Fei formed hand seals with both hands. He slapped the ground, causing a formation to appear. The Fourfold Heart Refinement Formation emerged in the cave.

Chen Fei placed the Strange Heart Origin into the Heart Refinement Formation..
