Chapter 1023: Founder Xia Fei and a New Discovery

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Someone had once said a long time ago that if Xia Fei lacked anything, it was that he had no lack of trouble.

The battle at the Cosmic Gate had proven this saying to be true once more. Not only was Xia Fei in trouble but also in big trouble at that!

He was currently sealed outside of the Cosmic Gate, in the territory of the Inverse!

“I’ll kill you!” His eyes red with bloodlust, Xia Fei did not have the time to care about his situation. He swung Nirvana with one hand and the White Dragon’s Screech with the other. The two mystical armaments rained down blows, and it was not long before the golden eyes were truly nothing but just two eyes. As his energy ran out, his body began to crumble, ultimately vanishing into the Abyss.

Too crazy! Truly too crazy!

Although there were still many Inverse warriors around him, none of them moved. They simply watched as the monstrous Xia Fei turned the golden eyes into dregs!

The fiendish blade Nirvana had absorbed the energy of this peerless Inverse expert, causing Xia Fei to be bursting with energy.

After all, this was a superexpert on par with a Soul Hunter. Xia Fei found it impossible to describe the energy he had absorbed from him, and the golden Soul Mark in his brain region was so bright it was blinding!

“Awoooo!”

Xia Fei naturally knew that he was in a bad situation. Before the Inverse could surround him, he howled, waved his weapon, and charged out of the encirclement.

There was no going back to the Law Realm. Xia Fei’s only option was to break out through the Abyss! He needed to get far away from the danger to rest and recuperate. After all, while he had killed the golden eyes in this battle, he was heavily injured. He was only able to remain standing entirely due to his formidable mental energy, but he could fall over at any moment.

“Anyone who stands in my way dies!” bellowed Xia Fei savagely.

Perhaps because the energy from the golden eyes was simply too strong, Xia Fei was still a little dumb, charging at the densest concentration of Inverse.

The Inverse army was startled at first, but then it began to encircle Xia Fei in layer upon layer of warriors.

The battle grew more and more difficult. It was said that two fists found it hard to fight against four hands, and while Xia Fei had Divine Beasts, a Holy Beast, and speed, there were simply too many enemies. No matter how many he killed, there was simply no end to them! Moreover, these Inverse did not fear death, more continuing to replace the fallen as they vented their rage for the death of the golden eyes on Xia Fei.

In the middle of these dire circumstances, four comets arrived, and from their trajectory, they had somehow come from the other end of the Cosmic Gate… from the Law Realm?!

*Rumble!*

The comets roared, pushing through the Inverse with an unstoppable momentum and shooting out of the Cosmic Gate, throwing the Inverse blocking the Abyss into turmoil.

Startled, Radix cried, “Xia Fei, this is your chance! If you follow those comets, you’ll be able to escape the Inverse!”

Xia Fei’s last sliver of consciousness also told him that external aid would be required to break out of the Inverse encirclement, and these four comets were his best vanguard. The Inverse could not stop the comets, so there was no way that they could stop Xia Fei if he followed them!

*Whoosh~*

Xia Fei accelerated, charging along the path of the comets. These comets were truly unusual. Not only were they pushing through the Inverse army, the path they had chosen was simply immaculate, too. By following the comets, Xia Fei hardly needed to stain his weapons with blood to escape the Abyss.

As he got a look around, Xia Fei deeply frowned.

The Inverse army numbered in the hundreds of millions! It was a good thing that Hosu had successfully sealed the Cosmic Gate. Otherwise, if this powerful army managed to rush in, the universe on the other side would be completely wiped out!

Xia Fei also made the surprising discovery that what was on the other side of the Cosmic Gate was another piece of the universe! However, these galaxies and nebulas were clearly no playground. Rather, they were a world brimming with danger and death.

With no time to ponder these revelations, Xia Fei continued following the comets. He could travel at four million meters per second, and with the mystical power of the Soul Mark, this speed reached eight million meters per second!

However, even this speed was not enough to keep up with the comets. After breaking through the Cosmic Gate, these comets had begun to accelerate explosively, and they soon became four twinkling lights, which rapidly dwindled into space, traveling in four different directions and vanishing without a sight.

‘Do not give up!’

‘Never give up!’

Xia Fei, who had yet to escape the Inverse ranks, continued to charge, his mystical armaments constantly swinging. From time to time, he would unleash the Law of Primal Chaos to open the way!

After some time and after killing numerous enemies, Xia Fei finally escaped the Inverse’s midst, and with his outstanding speed, he vanished into the sea of stars.

He kept running and running, feeling like he had never run as much in all his life.

In front of him was a long asteroid belt that seemed to extend to infinity, full of lethal and disruptive fragments. Glancing at the pursuers behind him and at the dangerous as well as disorderly debris field, Xia Fei gritted his teeth and flew into the asteroid belt.

Another endless run began, and his pursuers gradually faded into the distance. Xia Fei’s eyelids started to feel heavy as pain and fatigue assailed his brain.

*Thump!*

Finally, he began to fall, plunging into a crevice of a giant asteroid.

“Xia Fei, Xia Fei, are you alright?! Quickly wake up!” Radix hollered, Furball pulled on his sleeve, and Peacock Blue hastily opened its blades of grass to protect him from harm. Meanwhile, Xia Fei had entered a strange state. It was similar to a coma, but he still kept a sliver of consciousness, which made it seem like he was awake. However, no matter what, his eyes just would not open.

*Thump!*

After ten-some minutes of falling, Xia Fei finally landed at the bottom of the crevice. While this asteroid was not too huge, it possessed a powerful gravity! Even with Peacock Blue’s thirteen bluegrass blades supporting him, Xia Fei still had a rather hard fall.

However, to everyone’s surprise, this fall caused his seventh brain region to go through an astonishing transformation!

His Soul Mark grew brighter and brighter. Following which, the patterns belonging to the Law of Space and the Beast Spirit Codex were all absorbed! All that was left in the brain region was the Soul Mark and the patterns belonging to the Law of Speed and the Law of Primal Chaos!

After eating this patterns, the Soul Mark began to show its power. The imprint was changing with every passing second!

Radix’s eyes flew open in shock! This was because he was growing more and more confused by Xia Fei’s Soul Mark. Never in his life had he seen a Soul Mark that could still change after taking form!

*Rumble!*

At this moment, seven dragons soared into the heavens!

The seven silver dragons that emerged from Xia Fei’s body into the heavens were even more savage than those of Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng!

“Founder! You actually reached the Founder tier!” Radix cried in disbelief, shock evident on his face. Alas, Xia Fei could not see any of this. Even that last sliver of consciousness of his was focused entirely on the changes taking place in his seventh brain region.

...

Radix had a very uneasy time that first day, worried that Xia Fei would be found by the Inverse. After all, the scene created when Xia Fei advanced to Founder had been very loud and flashy. If any Inverse happened to be in the area, they would undoubtedly take notice. Fortunately, on the second day, Radix found that the Inverse had not chased them here, so he became much more relaxed and turned his focus onto the changes happening in Xia Fei’s body.

The more he looked, the more surprised he felt. Xia Fei had truly been severely injured, and his body had been on the verge of collapse because of the intense battle, but his mental energy had been strengthened to an absurd level!

This was particularly true of his Soul Mark. It was bursting with mystery, and he grew more and more confused as he examined it. Xia Fei had never trained with soul power before, so how could he possess such a powerful Soul Mark?!

As Radix pondered over this problem, on the third day, Xia Fei finally woke up.

Stretching, he leaned tiredly against the wall and massaged his temples with both his hands as he exhaled.

“You’re finally awake! I’ve been watching you these last few days; you’re clearly conscious, but wouldn’t you wake up?” Radix asked.

Xia Fei shrugged, helplessly saying, “I don’t know, either. After breaking into the Founder tier, my seventh brain region went through some changes; it drew all of my attention. I actually knew of everything that had happened, including falling into this crevice. I just couldn’t control myself, all of my mental energy being drawn toward the Soul Mark. It’s only now that I could break free of the Soul Mark’s control.”

Radix nodded. Xia Fei’s explanation matched with what he had seen. It was just that he could not understand how Xia Fei’s Soul Mark had become like this. The Soul Mark was no longer unchangeable, instead becoming similar to a constantly working machine.

“What matters is that you’re fine. Don’t forget that even if you’re a Founder, you don’t have a Seed of Life. Other experts can use the seed to be reborn, but you can’t. Starting from now, you must move carefully. After all, this isn’t the Law Realm but rather Inverse territory,” Radix warned.

The strange Soul Mark had left Xia Fei in a peculiar state. Other people had Seeds of Life that they could use to be reborn, but Xia Fei had none! Still, on the other hand, he had a unique Soul Mark and a self-learning ability that other experts did not possess.

Neither Xia Fei nor Radix could say what consequences this different Soul Mark would have.

Sighing, Xia Fei sternly said, “Regardless, I can’t go back to the Law Realm. I wonder what Avril will think once she hears about this.”

Radix frowned and said, “There’s no guarantee that you can’t go back. You have the reversal power of the Law of Primal Chaos!”

Xia Fei rolled his eyes at Radix. “Have you gone senile? What cultivation level was Hosu at? Do you think that the Law of Primal Chaos can open up the seal he created using his life force? Also, taking a huge step back, even if I could open it that way, I wouldn’t do it. Isn’t opening the seal the same as letting the Inverse into the Law Realm? Where am I going to find a second Hosu to apply the seal?”

Radix was startled. It seemed like Xia Fei’s brain was working fine, his analytical and decision-making abilities operating as before. On the contrary, it was him who had thought of the problem too simply.

The mood became rather strange. Xia Fei opened up the spatial ring he had taken from the golden eyes and dumped its contents. At a time like this, looking through his spoils was a good method of relaxing and altering the mood.

The golden eyes had only one soul weapon, the Galeleaf Saber. While this saber had ended up in Xia Fei’s hands after that fierce battle, it had been severely damaged. The legendary White Dragon’s Screech had left a large gap in it, so it could no longer be used.

Xia Fei held the Galeleaf Saber in his hand. While it was a basic soul weapon like Jade Green, it was still rather valuable. Destroying it was quite the pity.

Suddenly—

As if the Galeleaf Saber had triggered a chain reaction, Xia Fei’s Soul Mark suddenly began to turn even faster!
