Chapter 190: Breaking through to Dou Zong !!
[T/L: This is a Long Chapter with around 2600+ Words, It took around 4 hours to translate this..]
Less than a day after leaving Wu Tan City, Chen Feng returned to the imperial capital.
After resolving the hidden danger of the Gu Clan, Chen Feng felt extremely relaxed.
Although he had used up a Peak nine-star Dou Zun experience card for this, he didn't feel it was a waste at all.
Those treasures, given some time, he might be able to obtain them again.
If the matter with the Gu Clan wasn't handled well, he might have to live a life of hiding.
After returning to the imperial capital, Chen Feng originally wanted to go out and walk around outside the Gama Empire, but after a few days, he found that his realm was loosening again, showing signs of breaking through to Dou Zong.
Perhaps it was because of the use of the experience card this time, Chen Feng didn't feel any difficulty in front of the Dou Zong barrier, which was like a chasm for ordinary cultivators. Everything seemed so natural.
"It seems I need to go into seclusion again!"
Knowing the condition of his body, Chen Feng murmured to himself, and other matters could only be put aside temporarily.
Soon, Chen Feng explained a few things to Yun Yun, Na Lan Yanran and others, and then went alone to the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Arriving here, Chen Feng quickly found a valley, then sat directly at the bottom of the valley and began to breakthrough to the Dou Zong realm.
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
On this day, a strong momentum suddenly erupted in the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, causing the demon beasts within hundreds of miles to feel a wave of panic, especially those who had reached the sixth rank.
They already possessed human wisdom and understood the horror of that aura even more.
The center of the aura's source, the fluctuation of the energy of heaven and earth, caused many dark clouds to gather in the sky. In an instant, the weather, which had been sunny, turned dark and cloudy.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the valley where Chen Feng was located shook violently.
Then, a tall figure slowly appeared at the mouth of the valley, his feet lightly stepping on the void, his body as straight as a spear.
The majestic aura emanating from his body was like thunderbolts, daring to compete with the heavens.
Chen Feng stood in the void, with no Dou Qi wings or Thunder Wings appearing behind him. Walking in the air, this was a unique symbol of a Dou Zong Realm.
Dou Zong, the real watershed for the strong on the continent. Only if one successfully steps into this level, can one have the basic conditions to make a splash in Zhongzhou.
And now, Chen Feng has reached this step at such an age, and there should be no second person in the world.
"Hu!"
At this moment, Chen Feng, standing in the void, let out a light breath, then sank his mind into his body and carefully sensed it.
Inside his body, there was almost a metamorphosis-like change. Those meridians were not only ten times wider than before, but outside of the meridians and even on the bones, there was a faint layer of Dou Qi crystal layer, constantly emitting weak glimmers.
He clenched his fist slightly, and Chen Feng punched out without any fancy techniques. The space around his fist was instantly distorted, and the low and piercing sound of an explosion, like a muffled thunder, rang out in the sky.
This simple, unadorned punch actually had such a powerful force. Dou Zong and Dou Huang were indeed two completely different levels.
Calculating the time, Ya Fei and Xiao Xun'er still have a little over a month to give birth.
Chen Feng didn't plan to go back immediately, but planned to go to the Black Horn Territory.
With the Space Conversion Flag, even if Chen Feng goes to the Black Horn Territory, or to Zhongzhou, he can return to the Gama Palace in an instant.
…
A day later, Chen Feng's figure appeared on the northwest border line of the Gama Empire.
On this border line, the empire's defenses are extremely tight, especially those key military fortresses in the sky, where flying is strictly prohibited. Once discovered, they will be ruthlessly attacked by the fortress guards.
But this is only relative to ordinary people. All laws, if they do not have enough enforcement power, are just a joke.
In the entire northwest border defense of the Gama Empire, only one Dou Wang can be found. How can such a defense stop those Dou Huang, let alone Dou Zong powerhouses?
Just like Chen Feng, he flew straight over two giant border fortresses, and no one had discovered his existence.
Now, what appears in front of Chen Feng is a huge fortress standing on the border of the empire like a prehistoric giant beast, the Ghost Town.
This huge city wall stretches out for dozens of miles, and you can't see the end at a glance. On the city wall, there are tens of thousands of troops, practicing neatly, with a majestic momentum.
This is the largest fortress Chen Feng has ever seen, but it is not the largest in the Gama Empire.
On the yellow dirt road below, a large team of about a hundred people is rushing towards the huge fortress in a mighty manner, bringing up a sky-high scolding along the way. Looking at the uniform clothing of these crowds, they seems to belong to the same mercenary group. This kind of mercenary group of about a hundred people can be considered a medium-sized one in the Gama Empire.
Situated on the border, the "Ghost Town" is known for its chaotic atmosphere, which attracts a number of mercenary groups. These groups tend to avoid the safer path of hunting demon beasts. Instead, they prefer to engage in legendary war mercenary activities. In these wars, they assist one side with the aim of earning substantial rewards.
While the rewards are substantial, the risks are equally high. In the brutal battlefield, a team of hundreds could be wiped out in an instant if they're not careful.
After traversing through a massive fortress, journeying a thousand miles eastward, and crossing several small countries and tribes, one can enter the Black Horn Territory.
This unique region, renowned across the continent, has become one of the most chaotic areas due to its distinctive terrain.
It's a refuge for countless powerful individuals from various countries who have fled here and established their own ruthless rules.
In the Black Horn Territory, there are no legal constraints. The only rule that exists is the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. The weak have no rights here.
Moreover, the Black Horn Territory can also be considered a hub of information on the continent.
Every day, a myriad of information is disseminated from here and an equal amount is circulated from the outside. If one aspires to gain fame or renown on the continent, the Black Horn Territory offers the quickest shortcut.
However, this requires sufficient strength and resources. Without these, one might lose their life before gaining fame.
The Black Horn Territory, a region known for its chaos across the continent, lives up to its reputation. Every day, strong individuals perish here, and every day, new ones arrive.
This region is rife with death, yet it's also filled with challenges and temptations. Various treasures can be found here.
However, to acquire these treasures, one must pay a price. This price could be monetary or it could be exchanged with other items.
Humans seem to have an inherent affinity for chaos and darkness. Therefore, despite knowing the dangers that lurk in this region, countless individuals continue to flock here.
Whether it's for the sake of quickly gaining fame on the continent, or to acquire higher-level cultivation methods, fighting skills, and pills, people are drawn to this chaotic region.
Perhaps due to the principle of extremes inevitably leading to a reversal, the Canaan Academy, renowned throughout the Dou Qi Continent, is situated at the heart of the Black Horn Territory.
Within a certain radius outside the Canaan Academy, there exists a peaceful area. Over the years, almost anyone who has brought the chaotic influence of the Black Horn Territory into this area has faced sanctions from the Canaan Academy, often paying with their lives.
Many people across the continent are puzzled as to why such a chaotic region exists outside the ancient and prestigious Canaan Academy, a region that starkly contrasts with the academy's atmosphere.
However, regardless of the reasons, the existence of the Black Horn Territory is an undeniable reality!
Despite years of various suppressive measures, the Black Horn Territory continues to expand at an astonishing rate. Its resilience, akin to a super cockroach, leaves those forces intending to suppress the region feeling powerless.
The Black Horn Territory spans an extremely vast area. After years of expansion, it has almost evolved into a clearly defined small country.
The unique aspect of this region, compared to other empires, is that while other empires have emperors, alliance leaders, and grand sect masters as their highest leaders, this region is a battlefield.
Here, various forces constantly vie for power, engage in battles, and create chaos, much like a scattering of sand.
However, it is precisely this chaos that allows the Black Horn Territory to grow stronger in the heart of the continent. Otherwise, no force would sit idly by and allow this special territory, with its astonishing destructive power, to grow rapidly, thereby posing a threat to them.
Chen Feng chose to venture into this place because he was drawn to its chaos. With his current strength, apart from a few strong individuals, almost no one in the Black Horn Territory is his match.
As long as he sets his sights on the treasures here, he can act as he pleases. In this place where killing is rampant, even if he directly carries out a plunder, Chen Feng bears no psychological burden.
Next, after determining the direction of his journey, Chen Feng proceeded at full speed.
The distance between the Gama Empire and the Black Horn Territory is extremely vast. During this journey, several small countries need to be crossed before reaching the edge of the Black Horn Territory. Such a long distance, if traversed on foot or by carriage, would likely take three to five months, if not half a year, to reach the destination.
However, having now broken through to Dou Zong, this distance is insignificant to Chen Feng.
After less than a day of flying, the monotonous mountains below Chen Feng suddenly became sparse and dense. "Is this the Black Domain Plain!" he wondered.
Chen Feng looked up and saw that at the end of his line of sight, the pitch-black plain, like a black line, completely separated the outside world from the inside.
According to the map, this Black Domain Plain is the gateway to the Black Horn Territory. As soon as one steps into here, they enter a chaotic world that is incompatible with the outside.
This journey marked the furthest distance Chen Feng had ever traveled. Despite covering nearly ten thousand miles, he didn't feel fatigued but rather a sense of excitement.
"Black Horn Territory, I'm eager to see the extent of your chaos"
Chen Feng murmured to himself, showing no hesitation before diving into the seemingly endless black plain.
An hour into his journey across the plain, a black storm appeared on Chen Feng's horizon, darkening the sky. Undeterred by the storm, which was feared by almost everyone on the plain, Chen Feng chose to confront it head-on.
After another day of relentless travel, Chen Feng finally emerged from the monotonous black plain. What greeted him was a massive city constructed from pitch-black boulders.
At the city's four gates, he could vaguely make out a swarm of small black dots, reminiscent of ants, converging and rushing into the gaping dark mouth of the city.
"According to the map, this should be Hei Yin City"
Chen Feng mused, hovering in the void. He recalled that Hei Yin City was governed by a force known as the Eight Gates.
Its leader, Yuan Yi, was a Dou Huang strongman who ranked among the top ten on the Black List in the Black Horn Territory.
The Black List is a ranking similar to the top ten strongmen of the Gama Empire. However, Chen Feng was well aware that in the Black Horn Territory, the truly powerful were not those currently on the Black List.
A thought crossed his mind, and Chen Feng lifted the soul flag restriction, turning to Yao Chen, "Yao Chen, do you still remember the name Han Feng?"
"Han Feng, that damned traitor, I wish I could devour his flesh…"
Yao Chen's emotions surged at the mention of Han Feng, his face filled with anger and hatred.
"Your esteemed disciple is now making quite a name for himself in the Black Horn Territory. Not only does he occupy the third place on the Black List, but he also holds the title of Medicine Emperor!" Chen Feng chuckled.
"Haha, Medicine Emperor… that traitor is only a Dou Huang!" Yao Chen's anger subsided at Chen Feng's words, and he burst into laughter, his heart filled with disdain.
Originally, with Han Feng's talent, if he had continued training under Yao Chen, he should have been a high-ranking Dou Zong Powerhouse by now. However, his rebellion against Yao Chen for some benefits and subsequent life in hiding had led him to this point. It was somewhat laughable.
"Yao Chen, considering our master-servant relationship, I will let you personally take revenge this time! A Peak Dou Huang soul should be able to restore a significant amount of your strength!" Chen Feng stated calmly.
"Thank you, Master!" Yao Chen's face lit up with excitement upon hearing this, and he quickly bowed to Chen Feng.
