Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1638: Greed Soul

"Hahaha." Hu Tianlang laughed as soon as Zhang Fei and Feng Yao arrived. "I didn’t expect you to come so soon, kid. I thought it would be a few more years before we met, but you’re already here."

"Can we start now, old fox?" Zhang Fei impatiently asked. "My four clones and Feng Yao can hold off those shadowy creatures, but more of them will arrive in this realm soon, so we don’t have much time."

Hu Tianlang smiled at that. "You’re lucky, kid. We didn’t need long to merge our souls, but you’ll become extremely greedy once our souls merge. You won’t be able to control that feeling before you evolve into the ten-tailed fox, so you must be prepared for the risks."

"I know," Zhang Fei sighed. "Let’s start now."

After Zhang Fei transformed into his celestial fox form, Hu Tianlang’s soul immediately entered his body and fused with their souls.

At that moment, Zhang Fei felt his greed increase sharply, just like when he fused with Hu Tianlang’s other soul. "Damn it! I have to control this feeling, or I’ll cause trouble everywhere."

"As Hu Tianlang said before, you won’t be able to control your feelings before you evolve into the next ten-tailed fox." Feng Yao looked outside. "Those shadowy creatures from other domains are getting closer and closer, and their numbers are too large, so we have to leave now."

Zhang Fei nodded and a void crack opened in front of them. "Let’s go now! My clones can escape on their own."

"Alright."

After entering the void, Feng Yao directed Long Xukong towards the domain where Hu Tianlang’s envy soul was stored, and the male void dragon immediately flew at full speed.

Outside the barrier, Zhang Fei’s four clones saw that the shadowy creatures hadn’t decreased much. They wasted no time in disappearing into the training space, as more creatures would soon arrive.

Some time after they disappeared, the other shadowy creatures from the other domains arrived. One of them had a much larger body, and its aura was terrifying—even more terrifying than the two primordial beasts.

*Screech*

The core creature released a sharp and loud, furious screech, causing the other shadowy creature to cower in fear. It looked around the area before unleashing a small attack downwards, which instantly shattered the Cangxuan Domain into dust. Despite this, the core creature’s attack did not kill those smaller creatures, and they went straight to the next domain.

The avatars of both primordial beasts could sense the power of the core creature’s attack, even though their location was far from the Cangxuan Domain. Both were shocked by the event, as the power of the core creature’s attack far surpassed their own.

Even though they were primordial beasts of such a long time, they felt a sense of dread in their hearts. However, they were also relieved that their real bodies were not in the Ancient Realm, but in the Primordial Realm.

Even so, the two primordial beasts were afraid that the core creatures and those shadowy creatures might go to the Primordial Realm, and they were afraid that they would not be able to do anything to stop them.

After thinking for a long time, the two primordial beasts decided to disappear from both domains and return to their original bodies.

Inside the void, Zhang Fei tried hard to suppress his overflowing greed as his soul was in the process of merging with Hu Tianlang’s. "Shit! This feeling is harder to control than my lust."

"Bear it for now." Feng Yao looked back. "The core creature seemed to have appeared there after we left, and the domain is now destroyed."

"What?" Long Xukong screamed. "Is the domain really destroyed, Empress Huo?"

Feng Yao nodded slightly. "The power of the core creature is truly terrifying! It only used a small attack, but it has already reduced the domain to dust. Fortunately, no living creatures lived there; otherwise, the number of casualties would be countless."

"What if that creature invades the Paradise Realm?"

Feng Yao sighed. "No one will be able to stop it, and mass destruction will occur there."

Long Xukong shivered at the thought because the population of all the domains in the Paradise Realm was so large. He didn’t dare to imagine if the core creature appeared there, which would cause mass death and the destruction of all domains.

"Do you think the core creature will make it to the Paradise Realm one day?"

Feng Yao shook her head at Zhang Fei. "I don’t dare say whether the core creature can go to the Paradise Realm or not, as I myself have no information on its true strength. Judging from its attack just now, its power far surpasses mine and all the Primordials. You can’t sense it, but I can sense that the two avatars of the two Primordial Beasts immediately disappeared from this realm after destroying the Cangxuan Domain."

"Even the two primordial beasts are afraid of the core creature, huh?" Zhang Fei muttered to himself while frowning. "Do you think I can defeat and kill the core creature after I evolve into the ten-tailed fox?"

"I don’t have an answer to your question." Feng Yao hugged her legs. "This is the first time in my life that I’ve felt so helpless because the core creature is too powerful, making me lose all confidence."

Zhang Fei hugged her. "I’m as worried as you are, but I’m sure we’ll find a solution to combat the core creature. For now, we don’t need to think too much about it, and we will together find a solution to deal with that creature after I evolve into the ten-tailed fox."

"Sigh." Feng Yao leaned against his chest. "What if we can’t find a solution? What if you can’t defeat the core creature after you evolve into the ten-tailed fox? I manifested myself in the past to seek my freedom, but I never expected that my actions would bring such a great disaster to this universe and all its inhabitants."

Zhang Fei hugged her tighter. "It’s okay; everyone makes mistakes, including us. Everything has already happened and we won’t be able to turn back time, so there’s no point in regretting it. By the way, the mysterious man told me that the possessors of the Immortal Sacred Physique, the Yin-Yang Devouring Physique, the Universe Tree Physique, and the Heavenly Calamity Physique are in the Ancient Realm, so I think you can start looking for them."

"Huh?" Feng Yao looked up at him. "Is that true?"

"The mysterious man told me that, but he didn’t tell me their locations, so we’ll have to look for them ourselves."

"I have repeatedly tried to find their whereabouts, but I have never succeeded in finding them."

"They might be able to help us fight the core creature, so you must not give up and keep trying to find them, okay?"

Feng Yao nodded slightly. "Alright, I will continue to look for their whereabouts."

Meanwhile, Zhang Fei [1] is on the second floor of the tower, telling Zhang Chen and the others about the challenges on that floor.

"Why do you look like you have a lot of burdens, Fei?" Ru Xue asked him.

Zhang Fei [1] sighed before creating a qi screen that showed the events in the Cangxuan Domain. "Those creatures are already powerful, but the core creature is even more powerful, and it has already reduced the domain to dust. Even the two avatars of the primordial beast were frightened by it, and they immediately disappeared from the Ancient Realm."

"Doesn’t that mean that this Paradise Realm is in danger? If the core creature manages to come here, it will definitely destroy all domains." Liu Qingyu frowned.

"Yes,"

Liu Hua asked him. "What do you plan to do to ensure our safety, Fei?"

"I don’t have any plans about that yet, but you guys will be safe in my soul world. If the core creature manages to come here, I will send you all there, and we will stay there forever."

"Can the core creature invade your soul domain, Fei?" Zhang Lingxue asked.

Zhang Fei [1] shook his head at her. "They can invade the Ancient Realm and the Paradise Realm, but they can’t invade my soul world, so you don’t need to think about that."

"Then, what about the people in the Ancient and Paradise Realms?"

Zhang Fei [1] shrugged. "I don’t know any of them, so why should I care about them? I won’t save them all, and I’ll only save the people in our domain."

"Sigh." Zhang Chen sighed and hugged his arm. "Fei’er, I understand your thoughts, but I hope you’ll be willing to save those people if the core creature invades this Paradise Realm."

"Please forgive me, but I have to refuse your request, grandma. Moreover, we don’t know their characters, so I don’t want to bring them to my soul world because their presence will only disturb the peace there, and I will only bring people I know well."

"But—"

"Grandma," Zhang Yue stopped Zhang Chen. "I understand your thoughts, but I agree with Fei’er. If we bring everyone into his soul world, the presence of those evil people will corrupt it, and I don’t want that to happen."

"I agree with big brother and big sister." Zhang Lin nodded in agreement. "The Three Mortal Realms, the Paradise Realm, and the Ancient Realm are already in disarray due to the presence of those evil people. Thus, I agree that if Big Brother only brings people we know well into his soul world, it won’t be as chaotic as it is here."

Zhang Fei [1] hugged his grandmother. "You don’t have to think too much about this matter, grandma. Feng Yao and I are looking for another solution to deal with the core creature, and I hope we can find it soon."
