Black Emperor Palace Chapter

At this moment.

Every lifeform that entered the Black Emperor Palace surveyed the surroundings and did not dare act rashly. Even figures as powerful as Xiao, Azure Owl Master, and Liu Qiu wore extremely grave expressions upon entering this place.

Luo Feng landed on the ground.

His originally towering figure had been suppressed to just over a hundred light-years tall within this space.

"Is this the inside of the Black Emperor Palace?"

Before him stretched a vast expanse of heaven and earth, devoid of any chaotic currents. This place did not resemble Primordial Chaos Space, but rather a Source World. Based on his past impressions, it was almost exactly the same.

The world here appeared boundlessly vast at a glance. The space was clear, and he could sense nothing at all.

There was a shining "sun" in the sky, which left Luo Feng somewhat dazed. No matter how he looked at this world, it gave him a feeling of familiarity mixed with strangeness.

However, just as Luo Feng was observing this place, a bizarre force suddenly pierced down from the void between heaven and earth. This force was incomparably domineering, rendering Luo Feng unable to move. At the same time, the scene before his eyes gradually blurred. Before long, he completely lost consciousness.

Of course, it was not only Luo Feng. The other twenty-two lifeforms who had entered the Black Emperor Palace suffered the same fate. Not a single one could resist, and all of them fell into slumber.

No one knew how much time passed.

Luo Feng suddenly opened his eyes, startled at the same time. As he became fully alert, his divine consciousness immediately entered his body to inspect whether anything abnormal had happened.

After carefully examining himself for quite some time,

everything seemed normal. Nothing had happened to either his body or soul—unless there was something he could not perceive. If that was the case, then it could only be said that fate had decreed it.

However, if his true body had fallen unconscious, his external avatars should have sensed it... Thinking of this, Luo Feng suddenly remembered, but his expression immediately changed. He could no longer sense his avatars at all, and he had no idea what was happening outside.

Naturally, the many avatars he had left outside also had their expressions change abruptly the instant they completely lost their connection with his true body.

Entering the Black Emperor Palace was clearly exceedingly dangerous.

However, Luo Feng immediately felt that this might be better. If a life-and-death battle broke out and the others possessed methods to annihilate him, then with karma severed here, perhaps not all of his avatars and Divided Souls would perish.

What Luo Feng did not expect, however, was that if there truly were soul-annihilating methods, this Black Emperor Palace would certainly not block everything. Instead, it would strengthen that power along those connections and annihilate the loser's soul.

That would leave the loser with even less chance of survival.

Of course, it was not only Luo Feng. Everyone else had likewise been cut off from the outside world.

When Luo Feng looked at the scene before him again, he had become incomparably vigilant.

It was still the same heaven and earth he had seen upon entering, with almost no significant changes.

"Hmm? I can't send messages?" Luo Feng's expression changed slightly.

In such an environment, Luo Feng casually tried using a communication token to make contact. However, communication methods seemed to have completely failed here. He could not contact Xiao.

This also meant that everyone who had entered this place might be facing the same situation as him.

"Which way should I go?" After surveying the surroundings, Luo Feng had no idea which direction he should head in within this vast world.

At this time, although divine consciousness might alert some hidden Big Guys here, the chances should not be high. Even if he did alert them, the aura of his appearance had probably already made them aware of him. After thinking it over, Luo Feng still released his divine consciousness.

As his divine consciousness spread out from his body, Luo Feng could not help but be startled. "The suppression is actually this strong."

His divine consciousness was being subjected to extremely powerful suppression, and he feared he would not be able to investigate too much.

With Luo Feng's current divine consciousness, covering an area the size of a Source World would have been effortless. But the suppression in this world was simply too severe. When he fully released it now, Luo Feng felt that it could probably cover only one percent of a Source World. With that, it was even more impossible for him to probe the edge of this world.

There was nothing unusual wherever his divine consciousness reached.

"There are quite a lot of lifeforms." This place was not lifeless. On the contrary, it was home to a vast number of lifeforms.

Whether atop the mountain ranges or within certain cities and kingdoms, everything here seemed very similar to an ordinary Source World. Within Luo Feng's range of perception, the strongest lifeforms he could sense were only barely World-Level Primordial Chaos Lifeforms. Anything stronger either lay beyond his perception or simply did not exist.

In those mountain ranges, swamps, lakes, and other places, powerful lifeforms occupied many areas.

Apart from those powerful beings, there were countless weaker lifeforms.

Besides the wilderness and mountain ranges, there were cities interspersed throughout, each gathering large numbers of lifeforms. Some cities were large and some small. The strongest experts in certain cities were God Kings, while others had low-level Primordial Chaos lifeforms or High-Level Primordial Chaos Lifeforms. The strongest city had a World-Level Primordial Chaos Lifeform. It was also the largest city Luo Feng had discovered and should have been the strongest within the range of his perception.

However, there were also quite a few powerful lifeforms outside the cities, including some World-Level Primordial Chaos Lifeforms.

"Then I'll choose the largest city." Luo Feng carefully observed his surroundings and, based on the distribution of the vegetation and the lay of the mountain ranges, immediately chose the direction where the current "sun" was located. That direction also contained the largest city Luo Feng could currently sense.

"I'll go take a look first." With a thought, Luo Feng acted immediately.

With a teleportation, Luo Feng appeared far away.

However, even though Luo Feng's Inner World possessed sufficient Space Power, teleportation was greatly restricted within this world.

It still took him five minutes to reach the large city he had seen.

The city before him was extremely imposing.

With Luo Feng's current height, this city still appeared immensely majestic. The entire city was more than ten thousand light-years tall. His height of just over a hundred light-years made him seem somewhat small before it.

The city was covered in numerous scars, and there were fragments of corpses around it. Presumably, this place was often attacked by the ferocious creatures in the surrounding area.

Inside and outside the city, Luo Feng sensed that the lifeforms living here came in all shapes and forms, but each was enormously tall. They were about the same height as him, and some were even taller.

"Qingxie City." Luo Feng looked at the writing on the city. He could not understand it, but according to the translation of intent, that was roughly what it meant. It was a very strange name.

Luo Feng had only just arrived in this world and knew absolutely nothing about everything here.

Not only did he not know what this world was like, he also did not know the rules of this "game." Based on the voice he had heard when entering, things might not be easy in this Black Emperor Palace world.

What he needed most right now was to first understand the workings of this world.

As for the rules, he could only investigate them step by step.

"To enter the city, you must pay one hundred Age World Stones."

The moment Luo Feng reached the city gate, he was stopped by four guards.

Luo Feng frowned slightly. He had not expected to be stopped. Had he known, he would have entered unnoticed. He had wanted to experience what it felt like to enter through the city gate, but he had ended up being blocked.

Luo Feng immediately tried releasing a trace of his aura, but what surprised him even more was that the four city guards showed no reaction whatsoever. These four were only at the God King Realm, yet they were not affected by his aura at all. Luo Feng could not help but be astonished.

Perhaps this world had something special for them.

However, he had no idea what Age World Stones were, nor did he have any. They were probably merely a form of currency in this world and nothing important.

Luo Feng looked at them, faint light emerging in his eyes. He was not enslaving them, merely hypnotizing the four. For someone at the God King Realm, a single glance from him was enough to make them fall. When the four saw Luo Feng's gaze, their eyes immediately became dull.

Yet at that very moment, even Luo Feng himself failed to notice that when he influenced the four with Soul Power, a wisp of subtle, invisible force also entered Luo Feng's body from each of them.

Luo Feng noticed nothing and sensed no abnormality.

"My lord, please enter," the four guards said at once.

Luo Feng smiled and stepped inside.

After entering through the city gate, Luo Feng found everything within the city novel. The culture here differed greatly from the Source Worlds he had seen before, though there were also similarities.

From Luo Feng's perception, the strongest person in this city should have been someone barely comparable to a World-Level Primordial Chaos Lifeform. He was most likely the founder of this city.

"The customs here are truly peaceful and peculiar. Everything seems quite harmonious."

Of course, it made sense after some thought. Outside the city lay the territory of ferocious creatures, so those able to live within the city had to be highly united. Even if they were not united, they were likely required to be. Thus, once inside the city, it was normal for fighting to be prohibited.

After entering the city, everything came into view beneath the coverage of Luo Feng's divine consciousness.

Luo Feng did not waste time and headed directly for the City Lord Manor of Qingxie City.

City Lord Manor.

Within the manor was an area connected to an underground palace. The current strongest expert was cultivating within that underground palace.

Unless the city came under attack, he would generally remain in seclusion.

With a thought, Luo Feng barged directly in from outside. Yet what puzzled him was that he actually triggered some of the internal formations when he entered. Luo Feng looked at the strange lifeform before him, who suddenly opened his eyes from seclusion and looked at Luo Feng with vigilance and fear.
