Chapter 341: Chapter 274: Ghost Mask

“Dark Realm?” Chen Xing recognized the world beyond the fissure instantly, having visited it numerous times, too familiar especially with that twisted will, an aura of pessimism only the Dark Realm could emit.

But why would a portal to the Dark Realm appear here?

The world is so vast, Chen Xing didn’t think it was a coincidence.

His gaze inadvertently fell on Sìxiàng, could it be that it was here for Sìxiàng?

Behind the nearly six-foot crack, suddenly, an eye filled with bloodshot veins jammed all the space.

The eye stared fixedly at Sìxiàng.

“Let me take a look.”

The chaotic and hoarse voice, like overlapping high pitches, layered one after another from behind the fissure, reverberating powerfully in the valley.

“It’s this guy.” Shadow recognized the thing behind the crack, its tentacles slightly quivering, a bit troublesome.

However, it remembered that this guy seemed to have had its head chopped off by Lord Adjudicator, right?

Chen Xing thought to himself that the Suspended Island Sky Roc had said it would pacify those sealed monsters on his behalf.

Now, it seems that a monster’s word really couldn’t be trusted.

“Spatial fissure.” Qiu Shangqing frowned, he didn’t recognize the world behind the spatial fissure.

But a monster appeared on the other side, and upon appearing, it first looked at Chen Xing.

“You are not it, you are not it!” The eyes behind the fissure stared dead at Sìxiàng.

“It truly is dead, indeed it is dead, hahaha!!!!”

The being behind the fissure shifted its gaze, and through the crack, Chen Xing saw its owner, a massive head.

The surface of the head had a metallic sheen, with three eyes growing on it, looking like some kind of monkey.

But the lower body was not visible, as if it was naturally only a head.

The huge head moved like a boulder in the Dark Realm.

From a distance, through a corner of the spatial fissure, Chen Xing saw the “boulder” rolling behind the fissure.

The head turned many times in the Dark Realm, then violently smashed into the fissure.

The portal to the Dark Realm was hit and a fine crack appeared, and then it was struck again!

The fissure grew larger, trending towards expansion.

Chen Xing said to Sìxiàng in a low voice, “Can you close the fissure?”

Sìxiàng tried, but the “key” on its shoulder had no response, as if it could only lead people in and out of the Dark Realm.

The portal of the Dark Realm was not within its jurisdiction.

“Can’t close it… maybe I should enter the Dark Realm and lure it away,” Sìxiàng suggested.

Qiu Shangqing, however, had guessed some clues, likely because of Chen Xing.

“Could you bring old Qiu in there too, surely we can’t really let it come out,” Qiu Shangqing spoke up.

Chen Xing turned apologetically to Qiu Shangqing, saying, “Old Qiu, I never expected this kind of accident to happen.”

Qiu Shangqing wasn’t too concerned, having seen many ups and downs over the years, “Don’t worry, who knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first, it’s good to resolve any troubles. But perhaps it’s not best to choose this place for a battle, I am an old man, and it hasn’t been easy to save a bit for myself.”

Chen Xing hesitated, he didn’t intend for his own problems to burden others, but the spatial fissure had already appeared.

If not intervened, it would only become more troublesome later.

“Okay.”

Chen Xing had Sìxiàng take himself, Qiu Shangqing, and the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile into the Dark Realm.

With a thought from Sìxiàng, Chen Xing, and Qiu Shangqing vanished from the spot, a momentary hindrance appeared on the surface of the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile as the pull of the Dark Realm beckoned.

But the hindrance soon disappeared, and the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile also vanished from the spot.

Dark Realm.

The head that was smashing into the spatial fissure stopped its assaults, tilting its head.

With its head tilted, it stared intently at the two humans and two beasts in front of it.

For some reason, it sensed a strong threat from this crocodile.

Perhaps because it had become an undead creature, it still had a keen sense of danger.

“I do not wish to be your enemy, I just want to leave this place,” the head spoke slowly, opening its mouth.

[Species] Cursed Monkey Head

[Quality] Blue Lord

[Energy Level] 174

[Energy Level Limit] 174

[Attribute]Dark, Undead

[Height]11.7 meters

[Weight]3800 Kg

The Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile shimmered and instantly appeared before it.

The Cursed Monkey Head turned its head, trying to retreat.

But it was directly stomped on by the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile, right in the center of the head.

It was like stepping on a ball, as the Cursed Monkey Head was rendered motionless under its foot.

At that moment, the Cursed Monkey Head panicked, having heard nothing of such a powerful opponent before coming here.

If it had known, it wouldn’t have come.

In its anxiety, the Cursed Monkey Head kept pleading for mercy, and the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile roared, its huge maw looming over the head, silencing it under the threat of death.

A 174 Energy Level head got insta-killed just like that?

Chen Xing checked the attributes of the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile; previously, he could not see through it without Transcendence, but now he assumed he could since he had transcended.

[Species]Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile

[Quality]Purple Overlord

[Divinity]47 (Divinity Amplification: Strength +2.3, Defense +1.7)

[Energy Level]200+

[Energy Level Limit]200+

[Attribute]Water

[Body Length]68.3 meters

[Weight]180,000 tons

200+?!

Two hundred Energy Level should be Transcendence Ten Layers, then 200+ is… Ascension!?

Chen Xing hadn’t anticipated that even after his transcendence, he still couldn’t fully decipher the Azure Sea Emperor Crocodile’s details.

Seeing Qiu Shangqing, who looked like an ordinary little old man, if one didn’t have the panel, who could imagine that this plain-looking old man was actually an Ascension Level Beast Tamer?

Old Qiu indeed hid his power deeply.

These thoughts just flashed through Chen Xing’s mind and quickly dissipated.

Old Qiu’s concealing his strength was none of his business; everyone had their own secrets, didn’t he have some secrets he hadn’t told others?

At least Old Qiu hadn’t shown any malice towards him.

“Only a head left alive… is this an undead creature?” Qiu Shangqing stepped forward and crouched down, examining the wound outline around the Cursed Monkey Head’s neck.

The edge was smooth and neat, and one could still see the blood vessels throbbing inside; it must have been cut off by something extremely sharp.

“Should I just kill it or what?” Qiu Shangqing stood up and asked Chen Xing for his opinion.

“I have a few questions to ask,” Chen Xing said.

“Sure, go ahead and ask. This is my first time in the Dark Realm, kind of interesting,” Qiu Shangqing said, then went to observe the surrounding environment.

The terrain was exactly like reality, even a stone building not far away was completely identical to one in reality; unable to contain his curiosity, Qiu Shangqing went to inspect it.

Chen Xing walked to the side of the Monkey Head and directly asked, “Didn’t that Demon Eagle tell you that it was I who released you guys?”

Perhaps due to missing part of its trachea, the voice of the Cursed Monkey Head sounded a bit like a broken bellows, “It told us that the new Dark Realm Arbiter and the previous Dark Realm Arbiter weren’t connected, and had moved the Domain Stele to release us from the Dark Realm.

But I am not content, having imprisoned me in the Dark Realm for so many years, and even beheading me. If it weren’t for a stroke of luck, part of my consciousness awakening and transforming into an undead creature, I would have died long ago.

I would have died long ago!” The consciousness of the Cursed Monkey Head seemed not very clear, repeating ‘I would have died long ago’ towards the end, its face growing more frenzied and the blood vessels in its eyes becoming more numerous and dense like masses of earthworms.

Chen Xing disregarded the nonsense in its words, focusing directly on the key points.

“You fool, you’ve been used as a tool by someone. Who told you I was here, and who opened the spatial rift? You shouldn’t have the ability to open spatial rifts yourself, and you don’t have the spatial attribute either.

So there must be a mastermind behind this.

Hearing this, the Cursed Monkey Head’s somewhat muddled eyes momentarily cleared, and it muttered, “Who called me here… right, it was her, it was—”

Bang!!!

Before it finished speaking, the crown of the Cursed Monkey Head exploded.

Its eyes instantly turned pale and lifeless.

Just when Chen Xing thought he was left without a lead, a fierce ghostly light suddenly burst from the dull eyes of the Cursed Monkey Head.

The power of the undead coalesced on the surface of the Monkey Head, and a vague, broken phantom of the head emerged, its expression ferocious as it used its last strength to roar, “The Ghost-Faced Bitch! She afflicted me with the psyche curse!”
