Chapter 981: No Path to Life and Death
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Is anyone organizing resistance?” Dao Yuefeng asked Zhu Jingxin.
“At first, yes,” Zhu Jingxin replied, “but as our numbers grew, it became easy to be spotted. Other races saw us and would deliberately inform the Evil Clan and Ice Clan, forcing us to scatter and flee in the end.”
Everyone was at the mid-level of the Sun Moon Realm. When numbers increased, the factors determining victory and defeat became more complex.
In the Glass Space, however, other races seemed to hope for the human race to suffer even more upon witnessing their dire situation.
The weaker you appear, the more you are bullied—a strange but widespread phenomenon.
The human race was far from weak, but the unique circumstances in the Glass Space led to such scenes.
“Have you seen Kuang Xingfeng and the others?” Dao Yuefeng asked quietly.
“Kuang Xingfeng initially hunted the Evil Clan and Ice Clan, but later he was surrounded and his whereabouts are unknown. As for Chen Fei, I haven’t seen him at all,” Zhu Jingxin said.
Dao Yuefeng was asking about those who were crucial to the current situation.
The seed cultivators of the Rule Integration Realm were the most important individuals in the Glass Space.
The value of one cultivator in the Rule Integration Realm could equal that of hundreds of mid-level Sun Moon Realm cultivators.
This is just the value. Considering the potential for these Sun Moon Realm cultivators to break through to the Rule Integration Realm, even a large number of mid-level Sun Moon Realm cultivators posed little threat to a Rule Integration Realm cultivator.
A single move from a Rule Integration Realm cultivator could sweep away a large number of mid-level Sun Moon Realm cultivators.
“Inform everyone inside that the situation is untenable and to withdraw from the Glass Space immediately.”
Dao Yuefeng said after a moment of contemplation.
Despite the significance of the Glass Space and its origin and rule crystals, which could help the human race produce more powerful beings,
the current situation in the Glass Space means that staying inside would only result in their extermination.
The situation is dire, and the human race is now being targeted by multiple races. No matter how strong they are, they cannot withstand such an encirclement.
Allowing the human mid-level Sun Moon Realm cultivators to exit will at least preserve their lives for future use; otherwise, dying inside would be a pointless loss.
“Yes!” Zhu Jingxin responded with a salute, then turned and walked back toward the Glass Space.
Dao Yuefeng waved his hand, instantly healing Zhu Jingxin’s injuries, and a small crack opened in the Glass Space. Zhu Jingxin stepped through and vanished.
Except during certain special periods, the Glass Space only allowed exit, not entry.
With the power of a Sixth Stage Emperor, one could forcefully tear open the space to let people in, but such instances were rare.
If the number of entrants was too large, it would trigger a backlash from the rules of the Glass Space, potentially causing newly entered mid-level Sun Moon Realm cultivators to be torn apart by the rules.
Therefore, the human race could not send more people into the Glass Space. A mere dozen or so would not significantly impact the situation.
The other human Emperor Realm cultivators stationed here were present and had heard the conversation. They did not oppose and all tacitly accepted Dao Yuefeng’s decision.
The situation was such that there was no room for regret.
Dao Yuefeng looked into the distance. Whether it was due to his sensing abilities or not, he noticed a gaze from thousands of miles away, belonging to an Emperor Realm expert of the Evil Clan.
While Dao Yuefeng and his group had just learned of the situation inside the Glass Space, the Evil Clan and Ice Clan Emperor Realm experts had long been aware of the circumstances.
After all, they held the absolute initiative in the Glass Space at the moment. It was easy for the Evil Clan and Ice Clan mid-level Sun Moon Realm cultivators to find a suitable place to exit.
Glass Space, Bamboo Valley.
Dozens of towering figures hovered in mid-air, their cold gazes fixed on the bamboo forest below.
“Kuang Xingfeng, a proud human genius, yet only daring to hide and not show himself. Is this the nature of the human race?”
Sui Zhu’s voice boomed, echoing for miles around, causing the leaves in the bamboo forest below to rustle.
“Hill Clan, why are you meddling in the affairs between the human race and the Evil Clan and Ice Clan? Do you not fear dragging your own clan into the mire?”
Kuang Xingfeng’s voice echoed throughout Bamboo Valley. As his voice spread, countless slender and slippery figures darted through the bamboo forest below—these were the exotic beasts of Bamboo Valley.
These beasts, native to the valley, were now continuously searching for Kuang Xingfeng’s whereabouts, but to no avail.
As an outsider, Kuang Xingfeng would normally be immediately attacked by these beasts and the bamboo forest upon entering.
However, due to his mastery of the Heavenly Illusion Time Severing Technique, one of the most advanced illusion techniques of the human race, he had seamlessly integrated into the Bamboo Valley.
Since his defeat by Chen Fei, Kuang Xingfeng had been in seclusion for a time but soon regained his morale.
A temporary defeat meant little; true heroes are those who can laugh in the end.
With his morale restored, Kuang Xingfeng had absorbed the flaws revealed during battle and gained a deeper understanding of the Heavenly Illusion Time Severing Technique, significantly enhancing his combat power.
Because of this, Kuang Xingfeng was able to blend into the dangerous Bamboo Valley, turning the entire valley and its beasts into his sanctuary.
Kuang Xingfeng’s current combat power was undoubtedly among the top among the mid-level Sun Moon Realm cultivators in the Glass Space. In one-on-one situations, few from the alien races could withstand his attacks.
Unfortunately, most of the alien races were now targeting the human race.
While Kuang Xingfeng initially managed to hunt isolated alien races, he was eventually surrounded and is now trapped in Bamboo Valley by dozens of Hill Clan members.
“Exploring the Glass Space involves competition and conflict. To involve racial disputes is laughable.”
Sui Zhu said with a smirk, showing no concern for Kuang Xingfeng.
Even if the human race was currently facing threats from the Evil Clan and Ice Clan outside the Glass Space, it would be unwise to also make the Hill Clan enemies.
The human race was indeed powerful, with nineteen Emperor Realm experts. Compared to most other races, including the Hill Clan, they were stronger.
However, the human race had offended both the Evil Clan and Ice Clan, especially the Evil Clan, which might have a Seventh Stage Open Heaven Realm expert.
“Hmph, you will pay for your actions!” Kuang Xingfeng snorted coldly, then fell silent.
Hiding in Bamboo Valley, Kuang Xingfeng was safe as long as the Hill Clan didn’t plan to flatten the entire valley.
The valley had a unique property: unless the entire bamboo forest was wiped out in one strike, it would automatically restore itself the next moment.
This property was somewhat similar to that of the exotic creatures but was less aggressive compared to the Spirit Hidden Lake.
“Still can’t find him.”
A Hill Clan member holding a treasure plate, which displayed the terrain within several hundred miles, including Bamboo Valley, said.
“Then let’s stay here. Killing a human genius like him is worth more than killing dozens of ordinary mid-level Sun Moon Realm cultivators.”
Sui Zhu’s gaze turned cold, a sinister smile on his face.
In terms of value, a genius like Kuang Xingfeng, who could fight above his rank and might break through to the Rule Integration Realm in the future, was indeed worth far more than an ordinary mid-level Sun Moon Realm cultivator.
Although Kuang Xingfeng seemed safe now, time would gradually lead Bamboo Valley to assimilate him.
Eventually, he might find himself unable to leave.
This was a common characteristic of many dangerous areas in the Glass Space: one could enter, but staying too long would result in the twisted rules assimilating the intruder into the danger zone.
“Alright!” The other Hill Clan members had no objections.
In the Glass Space, most of the exploitable areas had already been explored over the days.
To find more valuable materials, one would have to tackle more dangerous challenges, but these came with significant risks.
Guarding against a genius like Kuang Xingfeng meant that his treasure must include many valuable materials. After all, they had heard that Kuang Xingfeng had killed numerous mid-level Sun Moon Realm cultivators from the Evil Clan and Ice Clan.
Thus, killing Kuang Xingfeng would definitely yield rewards that rivaled exploring dangerous areas.
With such potential gains and minimal risk, spending a few days guarding here was worthwhile.
Moreover, if other human cultivators received news and came to rescue Kuang Xingfeng, it would be even better. They could acquire more valuable items from the human cultivators’ treasures.
In Bamboo Valley, a phantom figure stood on a bamboo leaf, gazing up with a furrowed brow.
Kuang Xingfeng optimistically estimated that he could stay in Bamboo Valley for a maximum of three days. If he didn’t manage to get out within that time, he would truly be trapped forever.
Within these three days, he either had to risk a breakout or resign himself to being assimilated by the Bamboo Valley, ensuring that the Hill Clan gained nothing.
Glass Space, Black Rock Desert.
Lu Shuzhang shot into the sky as a black streak of light, but halfway up, a torrential downpour suddenly began.
Each raindrop was unusually large and forceful, and there were hundreds of them.
Lu Shuzhang’s expression darkened as the Eternal Night Manifestation appeared behind him. Lu Shuzhang swung the Night God Blade, plunging the world into darkness.
“Eternal Night Chant, passed down by the Emperor’s direct line. I’m curious how much the human race will mourn when I kill you!”
A sharp voice echoed, merging from several voices to create an eerie tone.
The dark clouds above were formed by dozens of Water Clan members.
The Water Clan was quite peculiar. Even an individual Water Clan member, at the same level, was slightly weaker than members of other races.
However, they had a unique trait that allowed them to blend their power together without needing formations—they seemed to have a formation built into them.
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, Lu Shuzhang was sent flying, his face pale, before plunging into the desert and vanishing.
