Chapter 519: Demon Chrysalis

“Rank 4 martial arts technique, Wildstorm. By maximizing spatial tears formed using the Law of Space, a steel fist can split the toughest stone. Law Force applied on the opponent in such a manner can achieve the effect of turning them into ash...” Xia Fei slowly read the introductory description of the technique.

“So it’s a fist technique, which lets one unleash a powerful Law force that can strike down enemies,” commented Phantom upon hearing everything. “A punch that can shatter spatial barriers and deal a fatal blow to the enemy. This fist technique seems a little overpowered.”

Xia Fei nodded. He had always been on the path of agility thus far, and while he did learn some more confrontational combat styles and techniques, he did not use them much. Meanwhile, the pros and cons of Wildstorm and Chain Blockade were still unclear, so he needed to practice and test them out first to know.

Indubitably, Wildstorm was an entire rank above Chain Blockade, and it would surely be even more powerful once he finished cultivating it.

Speaking of which, he weighed the Lapis Killing Rain in his hand and realized that it was not particularly light. Aside from the strange patterns, there were also plenty of characters carved on it, stating that a Law Emperor by the name of Swimming Bamboo had created this spatial weapon.

“A spatial weapon created by a Law Emperor! No wonder this thing has such extreme lethality, able to take down a hundred lives in seconds!” Phantom exclaimed.

A Law Emperor was still a fairly distant existence compared to Xia Fei, and only the old patriarch, Yujiang, was only at the tier of a Law Emperor in the entire Yu family, which clearly depicted the status this position held.

Xia Fei retrieved everything valuable from the corpses. Origin Crystals had always been a scarcity to Xia Fei, and if he planned to promote quickly, he would have to acquire much more energy. At the moment, he was almost on the brink of poverty, so of course he did not miss out on this chance to earn some money. Besides, there was hardly anything wrong with retrieving trophies and spoils from defeated foes.

All of a sudden, the ground shook violently!

The entire space experienced intense trembling! It was as if the heavens were about to collapse as the ground buckled!

“What’s going on?” Phantom raised his head in puzzlement and looked directly at the sea of stars above. “Could this space be collapsing?”

Xia Fei knitted his eyebrows as he looked around, easily evading the random rocks and debris that flew everywhere.

Soon, the space returned to its peaceful state.

“Was it an earthquake? That’s not right. A sealed space shouldn’t be having earthquakes, ” Xia Fei muttered.

That was when a demonic cry filled the sky!

This scream was piercing, and cracks started appearing across the land. Xia Fei painfully covered his ears.

“Is it an exotic beast?” Xia Fei’s first reaction was to think that this was a beast’s roar, but he very quickly dismissed such a guess.

Xia Fei had seen plenty of exotic beasts, but none had such a roar that could be so frightening! It was as if it was a roar from the devil himself!

“It’s time to leave!”

His keen senses were warning him of the imminent danger, and Xia Fei did not hesitate to flee at his top speed.

*Kaboom!*

The ground was asunder!

In the direction where Xia Fei was headed toward, an inky-black bug suddenly bore through the ground!

As explosive as a volcano erupting, the rocks and dusty debris were thrown dozens of kilometers in the air, blotting out the sky above!

The already dimly lit collection reservoir was now shrouded in heavy clouds of dust, and when everything dissipated, he saw a pupae right in front of him!

Black and huge in size, he could hear wails coming out from the pupae, which looked very much like a silkworm’s chrysalis, rounded on both ends as its body shone in phosphorescence!

“What is this! Could it be an insectoid?” exclaimed Phantom in his shock.

Xia Fei shook his head with a heavy look on his face. “No. It isn’t exuding the aura of an insectoid. It’s more like...”

“Like what?”

“A demon!”

As Xia Fei was devoting 100% of his attention to that black chrysalis about ten miles away, an arm suddenly dragged him behind cover.

“Don’t act recklessly! That’s a Demon Chrysalis!” Yu Luxuan tugged on Xia Fei as he warned him.

With him were the first batch of instructors who had timely arrived. Though it was said that there was no way to enter the collection reservoir, that only applied to Law Warriors. Head Instructor Yu Luxuan naturally had grasped the method of entering and leaving as required.

Yu Luxuan and the others all wore severe expressions on their faces, and the trepidation that these elites with Sovereign-tier cultivation were feeling was evident!

“Demon Chrysalis?”

“Yes. It’s one of the peculiar beasts that the Demon race nurtures in captivity. It travels between the spatial boundaries, with the power to ruin the Law of Space and is very powerful!”

“Demon race?” Xia Fei very easily recalled the Law of Primal Chaos he had on him, something the Black and White Gods had endowed him with; they were called the God race!

“The Law Realm is clearly defined in hierarchy. We, the Yu family, are a third-rate clan, and above us are the Nine Universal Clans. They are nine powerful Law families. Then the highest existences are the God race and the Demon race. They’ve mastered Law and are engaged in a bitter fight across aeons, where even normal families like us will get implicated.”

Xia Fei was utterly shocked upon learning this. It turned out that his Law of Primal Chaos originated from the top two existences of this realm!

No wonder the inclusion of some Law of Primal Chaos to the Law of Space could achieve such devastating results. After everything, the Black and White Gods were still considered mighty presences here in the Law Realm, and he had inadvertently learned a Law from these two prime races!

The Demon Chrysalis sucked air furiously, swallowing countless energy orbs into its belly before slowly crawling away, infrequently letting out that scary roar. Xia Fei realized that this Demon Chrysalis had a mouth, though it was located on its belly, which was close to the ground, making it hard to spot.

“Crap! The Demon Chrysalis is rapidly eating up all the energy in the collection reservoir. I’m afraid that this space won’t hold any longer if this continues.” An instructor worryingly fretted.

Yu Luxuan responded, “The collection reservoir was painstakingly created by our family, with over thousands of important martial arts techniques stored within. If destroyed, there’s no hope for our family to restore it given our present strength. We need to stop that Demon Chrysalis!”

“But what should we do? Perhaps the patriarch will have an idea, but with only us here...”

Yu Luxuan was deep in thought for a good while before saying, “We don’t have time. We’ll also die out here the moment the collection reservoir collapses, so we must take our shot! Do our best to delay and wait for the patriarch to arrive!”

“Yes!” cried everyone in unison.

Yu Luxuan patted Xia Fei on the shoulder and said, “Don’t be afraid. There shouldn’t be any danger if we attack at range.”

Xia Fei nodded. After all, there was no way he could stay alive if the collection reservoir collapsed, so this fight concerned his life or death, too! He had to join in the fight even if he did not wish to do so!

He had no choice!

“Follow me!”

Yu Luxuan yelled and the group of them went charging at the mountaintop as they began bombarding that huge creature with their various ultimate moves!

“Five Thunder Smash!”

“Jade Break!”

As instructors to warriors, Yu Luxuan and this group were all Law Sovereigns, and the combined effort of their assault was nothing to be scoffed at.

The explosions that ensued were startling as a series of blasts rang out!

Xia Fei held an Origin Crystal in one hand as he used Chain Blockade’s range attack to assault the Demon Chrysalis.

“GRAWWRR!”

The Demon Chrysalis was angered! It was enraged!

Everyone’s attack not only failed to take this creature down but also aroused its strong desire for revenge!

It was as if the creature had a layer of protection around it, for not one of the attacks actually caused any real damage to it!

Its body abruptly shrank, and the Demon Chrysalis curled into a ball!

*Boing!*

All of a sudden, that gigantic mass shot out like a bullet and headed straight for Xia Fei and everyone!

“Quickly run! The Demon Chrysalis’s enraged!”

No longer focused on attacking, everyone began fleeing as they scrambled to escape!

*Kaboom!*

The huge body of the Demon Chrysalis had essentially leveled the mountain that Xia Fei and the others were standing on moments ago!

This just showed how impressively powerful the Demon Chrysalis was!

Rubble and rock flew everywhere!

“Crafty Approach!”

Xia Fei relied on his lithe physique to back away fast, all the while ducking the large chunks of rocks raining down on them!

*Crash!*

A huge piece of rock, which roughly weighed over a hundred tons, crashed into somewhere about ten miles away from where Xia Fei was, creating a sizable crater on the ground.

An instructor, who was slightly slower than the rest, got caught by the Demon Chrysalis, and it had a very unique way of capturing prey; it released energy from its body to restrict the person before sending it into its mouth.

The body of that instructor was immobile, completely paralyzed by the Demon Chrysalis. Not even a spatial barrier would have any effect.

*Crunch!*

The Demon Chrysalis ate that person, his body so small that it could not even fill a gap between the Chrysalis’ teeth.

No one was allowed to bring exotic beasts in the collection reservoir, so Furball was not with Xia Fei. He observed the defenses of the Demon Chrysalis and determined that even his strongest attack using psychokinesis would not penetrate them.

Xia Fei was momentarily flustered. Evidently, he was not at a level where he could take down this creature known as the Demon Chrysalis!

The notion of revenge was deeply engraved in its big black head. Seeing how it was eating the instructors one by one, intentionally chewing slowly, seemingly torturing those people alive, it clearly was quite the cruel creature!

This was when something unexpected happened!

The Demon Chrysalis actually turned to look at Xia Fei! It actually had no eyes, but Xia Fei could very distinctly sense it directing its cold gaze on him.

“Crap! You’ve become its target!” Phantom yelped.

*Boom!*

That body, which was five miles long, suddenly leaped from the ground, looking like a battleship as it streaked through the sky!

It came pouncing on Xia Fei at high speeds!

The Demon Chrysalis only revealed the set of teeth on its stomach when it was right above Xia Fei’s head!

It was no smaller than five hundred meters! Six rows of sharp teeth could be seen inside!

Snow white and shining so terrifyingly. There were even traces of blood dripping from them!

“What are you waiting for? RUN!” Phantom shouted.

He unleashed his full speed!

Xia Fei did not have any time to spare thinking and just went dashing off!

It was a given how fast a speed Xia Fei had, but this Demon Chrysalis actually knew how to fly! Its speed was not at all slower than Xia Fei’s!

Gritting his teeth, Xia Fei accelerated more, all in an effort to be rid of this terrifying monster.

Who knew what was wrong with this Demon Chrysalis, though? It ignored everyone else and simply focused on chasing after him, its killing intent clear for all to see!

*Kaboom!*

A huge explosion rang out!

White beams seemingly came from the sky and struck the back of the Demon Chrysalis!

The creature let out a cry of despair and came crashing down from above!

Turning around, he realized that some hundred or so people had appeared beside him from out of nowhere, and the leader was Patriarch Yujiang, the only Law Emperor in the entire family!

“Beat it! Beat it up good!” Yujiang gave the order with gusto. “No matter what, we need to defend the collection reservoir!”

Patriarch Yujiang led many elites to the collection reservoir the moment he got the news, and this group of hundreds were the special forces, the most precious and high-level individuals of the Yu family!

*Kaboom!*

Xia Fei felt as if heaven and earth had both been torn apart. This was his first time witnessing so many high-level Law Warriors attacking in concert, and the explosive combat power went well beyond his imagination!

Though the Demon Chrysalis had thick skin and enormous body, it was gradually unable to withstand such an intense assault.

“Roar!”

With a powerful bellow, the space actually got torn to reveal a rip which was as wide as a mountain!

Coincidentally, Xia Fei was not too far from this rip. The Demon Chrysalis was rushing toward this spatial tear, while Xia Fei was desperately trying to get away from it!

Unfortunately, the spatial tear had the attractive force of a black hole, and it pulled Xia Fei right within!

*Whoosh~*

The Demon Chrysalis disappeared into the darkness without a trace, and so did Xia Fei!
