After dealing with more than ten mysterious creatures, Chi Chen and his companions continued on foot towards the front. This time, they came out simply to personally investigate the true nature of the Yuan Realm.
Therefore, they did not make any preparations for a long-term battle outside the city. In the dimensional realm, everyone has to rely on their own efforts to accumulate merit points to exchange for anything they want. For example, if Chi Chen and others want to conduct long-distance exploration outside the city, they must have a means of transportation. Although they are not slower than vehicles when they run at full speed at their current level, it will still consume their mental and physical strength. In this vast land of the dimensional realm, apart from the cities established by the four major war zones, almost all other places are mysterious territories.
Even a fool knows what the consequences would be of needlessly wasting one's mental energy in mysterious territory.
In the dimensional realm, although the Bureau of Slaying Secrets oversees everything, the relationship between the forbidden ability users and the Bureau is more like an employment relationship. Forbidden ability users can use the merits accumulated from slaying mysterious beings or discover rare materials worth studying to exchange for what they need in the city. In the dimensional realm, only your possessions have value. Whether it's intelligence, special materials, or other strange and unusual things, they can all be converted into a certain number of merit points.
The most awkward thing for Chi Chen and his companions right now is that they don't have any merit points to exchange for transportation tools and other necessary items. Not only that, but Chi Chen also has a mountain of debt weighing heavily on him.
After advancing for about three more hours, encountering a total of five waves of mysterious beings, the four realized they were already quite far from Guangxia City. Moreover, as they moved outward, the level of the mysterious groups they encountered gradually increased. This last wave consisted of more than twenty mysterious beings, none of which were below the Solid Realm. Furthermore, among these last wave, there were five beings at the Ascension Realm, one of which was at the peak of the Ascension Realm, and two of which possessed formidable forbidden abilities.
Even though each of Chi Chen and his three companions could be considered a genius or prodigy with exceptional combat power, this battle still took a heavy toll on them. Lin Bai was even nearly torn in two by a single claw from the mysterious creature at the peak of the Ascension Realm due to a mistake.
"Let's go back. If we go any further, we might encounter the mysteries of the Star Radiance Realm! That would be beyond our ability to withstand!"
After absorbing more than ten mysterious souls, Chi Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had won these battles entirely on his own strength. Even with the Battle Domain, Chi Chen had still suffered considerable losses.
If he were to advance further without relying on the monkey, Chi Chen's only reliance would be his Ascension Realm soul body, which could be absorbed but not imprisoned. However, if he were to encounter the mystery of the Star Radiance Realm, even if Chi Chen possessed the power of the Ascension Realm, it would be useless. The gap between the Ascension Realm and the Star Radiance Realm is far greater than that between the Solid Realm and the Ascension Realm. Even though Chi Chen possessed several abnormal divine restrictions, he didn't think he could contend with the Star Radiance Realm. And the Star Radiance Realm here refers to the ordinary mystery without any restrictions.
Lin Bai, Qing Sheng, and Hu Miaomiao, lacking Chi Chen's monstrous abilities, were already severely depleted. If they remained outside the city any longer, they would truly be in danger.
However, the series of battles allowed them to accumulate a considerable number of merit points, ensuring that they wouldn't appear as poor as they had been this time when they came out again.
Within just a few hours, Chi Chen's soul prison contained more than ten mysterious souls at the Ascension Realm. Apart from these Ascension Realm souls, the rest of the souls were poured into the statue of the Fengdu Emperor by Chi Chen. Then, under the expectant gaze of Chi Chen's soul, the statue of the Fengdu Emperor remained completely still.
This made Chi Chen's face fall again. Although Chi Chen had prepared that he would need a lot of souls to awaken the Fengdu Emperor again, it seemed that it was more than just a lot; it was probably a bottomless pit.
The situation of the Fengdu Emperor is somewhat different from that of the Monkey King and Nuwa. It is unknown when the Fengdu Emperor will be able to wake up again on his own.
However, having gained experience from today's first outing, Chi Chen wasn't in a hurry. There were many mysterious beings in this Yuan Realm, and their cultivation levels were not low, so there would be no shortage of soul bodies. In any case, he would be staying here for quite some time anyway, so he could take it slow.
"Bang bang bang—!"
Chi Chen and his companions turned and headed towards Guangxia City. However, less than ten minutes into their return journey, they heard a faint sound of metal clanging from the side, accompanied by some curses.
"Shall we go take a look?"
Upon hearing the sound, Chi Chen looked at Lin Bai, Qing Sheng, and Hu Miaomiao, seeking their opinions.
Although we don't know what happened over there, the commotion was significant. We're not far from Guangxia City, but not too close either. It's very likely that a battle broke out between a small team in Guangxia City and the mysterious entity.
"Let's go take a look!"
After a moment of contemplation, Qing Sheng nodded. Since they might be from Guangxia City, they wouldn't ignore them now that they had encountered them.
Chi Chen and Qing Sheng both nodded, and Lin Bai and Hu Miaomiao naturally didn't object either. So the four of them concealed their figures and auras and quickly ran towards the direction from which the sound came.
...
"You damned Nordic theater, how dare you come to cause trouble on my Great Xia theater's territory! You bunch of beasts, don't let us get out of here, or I won't do anything but kill you all!"
From the source of the commotion, five blood-soaked, somewhat weakened figures stood in a sunken crater. Outside the crater, five mysterious figures at the Ascension Realm stared intently at them, their eyes gleaming with an oily green light.
On the other side, six tall, blond, blue-eyed men with mocking smiles on their faces were also watching the five people in the pit.
"Owen, release those five mysterious creatures and let them have some fun with these ungrateful Great Xia people!"
Karl licked his lips, his eyes fixed on the chest of a man in the pit, where he found what he wanted.
"Karl, we're too close to Guangxia City. Let's finish them off quickly, grab our supplies, and leave. Otherwise, if the Great Xia forces arrive to reinforce us, it will be very disadvantageous for us!"
Upon hearing this, Owen frowned slightly. It had taken him a long time to control those five mysterious creatures at the Ascension Realm. Although they lacked some wildness and combat power under his control, the combined strength of the five was still extremely powerful. They were also Owen's own bodyguards. Now that Karl wanted him to release control, Owen was somewhat unwilling.
"Alright, Owen, don't be so stingy. When we get back, I'll have my brother catch a few more for you! As for the support from Great Xia, don't worry. Communication equipment is unusable in this dimension, so even if someone comes from there, we'll get there in time. Owen, these Great Xia people are too rude. We can't let them die so easily!"
Seeing that Owen didn't move, Carl reached out and patted him on the shoulder, giving him a promise of compensation.
Upon hearing this, Owen considered it for a moment and ultimately released his control over the five mysterious beings at the Ascension Realm.
"roar!"
"roar!"
The mysterious mental control over the five ascending realm beings was broken, and they immediately regained their cruel and bloodthirsty nature. They rushed towards the empty pit, which made the five men's expressions change. It seemed that those five bastards from the Northern Europe war zone were determined to take their lives!
"Dry!"
With a loud roar from the pit, the five Ascending Realm cultivators instantly charged at a mysterious creature. Born into the dimensional world, they possessed an innate ferocity. Faced with such a desperate situation, the five showed no intention of begging for mercy, but instead fought furiously.
At the edge of the pit, Karl looked at the five men struggling inside, his smile widening.
Owen felt slightly uncomfortable looking at the smile on Karl's face, but he didn't say anything. Their six-man team was led by Karl. Owen was a little better off, as he had some autonomy, but the other four had to do whatever Karl said.
Because Karl was a member of the Karl family in the Nordic war zone, a nobleman among royalty, his status was not low.
"who?!"
Suddenly, Karl turned around and roared, looking in the other direction.
"Your intuition is really sharp!"
Chi Chen and his group walked out from behind the slope, looking at Karl with cold eyes. Although they had heard that the Nordic Theater often tripped up the Great Xia, they did not expect that these Nordic people who looked like humans were doing things that were not human. Wasn't the common enemy of everyone mysterious?
How could these people be so capable of killing the people of Great Xia?
Inside the pit, the few people who were fighting heard the commotion outside and their faces lit up with joy. They rushed out of the pit, but when they saw the young faces of Chi Chen and the others and the fluctuations of their cultivation levels, they were slightly taken aback.
"Run! You're no match for them!"
One of them shouted and tried to persuade Chi Chen and his group of four to leave.
“Four are at the Ascension Realm, two of them are at the peak of the Ascension Realm, we need to be careful! Miaomiao, go help them, we'll take care of these six!”
Chi Chen's expression turned slightly serious. The opposing side was quite powerful, and his side was at a disadvantage, but Chi Chen was not afraid.
Upon hearing this, the group was taken aback again, and all looked at Chi Chen with surprise. How could a stranger, a young man with a solid mirror, remain completely calm in the face of such a situation?
"Hahaha, Irving, did you hear what he just said?"
Upon hearing this, Karl was even more stunned. Because Great Xia was once the strongest of the four war zones, people from other war zones would learn the language of Great Xia from a young age, a habit that has been maintained ever since. Therefore, Karl understood Chi Chen's words clearly.
Carlton couldn't help but burst into laughter, looking at Chi Chen with a mocking gaze.
"Ha, you look down on me?"
Chi Chen's expression turned cold, showing no kindness whatsoever to these six Nordic people who wanted to take the lives of the people of Great Xia.
The next moment, Chi Chen exerted force with his feet, mud flew up, and he shot out like a cannonball.
Without a single word, Chi Chen immediately chose to start the fight!
