Soul Crystal

Enter the underground area of the research institute.

Chen Feng spotted the Golden Core Demon Beast bound by ropes in the distance at a glance.

The enormous Demon Beast was struggling violently.

But no matter how much it struggled, it could not break free from the ropes.

Although the Spirit-Binding Rope is just Law Treasure, it belongs to a special type of Law Treasure, which is not something a Golden Core Demon Beast can break free from.

"You're back." Lin Wei also noticed Chen Feng's arrival.

Chen Feng looked at the Demon Beast in the distance and asked:

"Have you figured out anything from the research?"

Lin Wei then said, "We've already examined it. This Demon Beast is very strange. It doesn't have Demon Core inside its body; instead, there's a special crystal within it. Furthermore, we found that this Demon Beast has very low intelligence and doesn't even possess any innate supernatural Divine Ability. Therefore, I conclude that it's probably not Demon Beast, but a creature we've never seen before."

Although Lin Wei had never been to the Painting Scroll World, she was well-versed in all kinds of records about Demon Beast.

I also have some knowledge about Demon Beast.

But the Demon Beast before them was completely different from the one described in the ancient texts.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately released his Divine Sense to probe into the body of the demonic Demon Beast.

As Chen Feng's Divine Sense approached the Demon Beast, Demon Beast previously violently struggling body immediately calmed down, and fear appeared in its pupils.

Although it has low intelligence, it still has a sense of danger.

The Divine Sense probing it gave it the feeling that the other party could easily crush it.

"That is indeed a bit strange."

After his Divine Sense entered the Demon Beast's body, Chen Feng also discovered the crystal that Lin Wei had mentioned. It was a light blue crystal that emitted a strange energy fluctuation.

What surprised Chen Feng Chen Feng even more was that he couldn't sense any Spiritual Qi energy from this Demon Beast.

It should be noted that, based on Chen Feng's current discoveries, both the Solar System and the Painting Scroll World have proven that Spiritual Qi is essential for the evolution of life forms.

Even if the martial artists in the Painting Scroll World improve their strength, it is essentially through Spiritual Qi.

However, this Golden Core demon Demon Beast did not rise to its current level through Spiritual Qi.

That's incredible.

"So, did you find anything?" Lin Wei asked Chen Feng.

She had studied for several days but had little to show for it. Chen Feng's cultivation was much higher than hers, so he might have some other gains.

"There have indeed been some findings, but to know the specifics, this kind of research alone is not enough."

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he waved his right hand, and the head of the Demon Beast in the distance instantly exploded, and the Demon Beast's low roar also stopped.

Immediately, a remnant soul flew out from the Demon Beast's body, and Chen Feng caught it in his palm.

Soul Search!

If you want to know where this Demon Beast came from and what the other side of the spatial rift looks like, Soul Search is undoubtedly the fastest way.

Lin Wei looked at the dead Demon Beast beside her, but her expression remained unchanged.

She had wanted to dissect the Demon Beast for a closer look, but she had to wait for Chen Feng to return, so she hadn't done so yet.

Lin Wei then walked up to the Demon Beast and used her Spiritual Power to dismember its Demon Beast.

"Send these to the lab for testing."

Lin Wei used her Spiritual Power to deliver a portion of the Demon Beast's flesh and blood to several staff members.

The staff members standing nearby were already dumbfounded.

They were all among the earliest members of the research institute, but they still felt a sense of fear upon seeing Chen Feng and Lin Wei's behavior.

One is refining the soul, the other is dismembering the body—doesn't this teamwork seem a bit too much?

The staff members dared not delay and quickly transported the Demon Beast's corpse away.

Several minutes have passed.

Chen Feng flicked his hand, and the remnant soul of the Demon Beast in his hand turned into green smoke and dissipated.

A strange look appeared on his face at that moment.

Lin Wei asked, "Did you find anything?"

Chen Feng replied:

"According to this Demon Beast's memories, it lived on a Savage Wilderness planet teeming with Demon Beast. The reason it came here through a spatial rift is because the other side of the rift was on that planet."

"A planet full of Demon Beast, no cultivators?" Lin Wei also looked surprised.

Chen Feng shook his head. "I didn't find anything in his memory. His intelligence is too low; the images are all very blurry."

This Demon Beast's intelligence is roughly equivalent to that of a five-year-old child.

This is even stranger. You see, in the Painting Scroll World, the Golden Core level Demon Beast are all Haili that can transform into human form, and they are basically no different from human cultivators.

"Take a look at this." Lin Wei opened her palm, revealing a blue crystal in her hand.

This is what she obtained after dissecting the Demon Beast's corpse.

Chen Feng immediately took the crystal and carefully examined it.

"Hmm?" Chen Feng's eyes showed surprise.

Immediately, strands of pure energy emanated from the crystal in Chen Feng's hand and entered his body.

The blue crystal also turned into powder at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You absorbed this crystal?" Lin Wei was somewhat shocked.

Chen Feng nodded:

"Hmm, this item contains a pure soul force that can strengthen the Divine Soul and Divine Sense."

Just now, the power within the crystal entered his Primordial Spirit, and after absorbing this soul power, his Divine Sense actually strengthened slightly.

Don't underestimate even a tiny bit; it's already terrifying.

You must understand, he is Spirit Transformation cultivator, and everything that can enhance his Divine Sense is a rare treasure of heaven and earth.

Currently, the crystals inside a single Golden Core Demon Beast are enough to strengthen his Divine Sense; if there were more of these crystals...

Chen Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

According to the Demon Beast's memories, there were no fewer than tens of millions of Demon Beast on that planet, of which hundreds of thousands had reached the Golden Core level.

Chen Feng's spiritual strength is now considered top-notch among cultivators of his generation.

He was only at the Early Spirit Transformation realm, but his Divine Sense was already comparable to that of the Spirit Transformation Middle Stage. This was due to the enhancement he received from cultivating the Great Expansion Divine Art.

It would be sufficient to deal with Spirit Transformation cultivators, but it is far inferior to the Void Refinement Elder.

A cultivator at the Void Refinement can easily cover an entire planet with their Divine Sense, spanning a distance of 100,000 miles.

A Spirit Transformation cultivator's maximum range is 10,000 li; the limit of his Divine Sense range is 13,000 li.

His Divine Sense and Divine Soul are arguably his greatest weaknesses, Star Energy cannot help him improve them.

Chen Feng said to Lin Wei:

"I need to go to that place."

Lin Wei's expression changed upon hearing this. "Isn't this too dangerous?"

She naturally knew that Chen Feng was heading to the other side of the spatial rift.

Chen Feng said seriously:

"I can't rest easy until I find out what that world is like. Don't worry, with my current Divine Ability, even if I encounter danger, I can escape."

"Okay, when are you coming back?" Lin Wei asked.

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave Earth to you for the next month."

After saying that, Chen Feng didn't hesitate any longer, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Mount Fuji, outside the formation.

Xiao Ning and the others continued to sit cross-legged and cultivate.

At first, the group kept a close eye on the spatial rift, but apart from the appearance of the Demon Beast, there was no further movement from the spatial rift.

This put the group at ease.

And during this time, the number of people visiting Mount Fuji has increased.

They were mostly agents sent by various countries or martial artists, and their sole purpose was to investigate the spatial rifts.

The appearance of the monster has caused quite a stir internationally these past few days.

Many people wonder if the monster that appeared on Mount Fuji was an alien.

However, the lack of any response from Jack Security Company has only increased the unease.

Therefore, many people came to Mount Fuji during this period. However, before these people could even get close to the great formation, they were dealt with by Qiefusi and his men.

Xiao Ning and the others naturally didn't need to take action.

Just then, Xiao Ning, who was meditating, seemed to sense something and immediately opened her eyes.

Suddenly, a man in white appeared before her.

The man stood with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a smile.

Looking into the white-clad man's deep, star-like eyes, Xiao Ning couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Mr. Chen."

Xiao Ning's voice immediately attracted the attention of Yang Fuqing and Zhou Chen, who were standing nearby.

Both of them finished their cultivation at the same time.

"Mr. Chen!" Yang Fuqiang exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Chen also greeted him reservedly.

They were all very familiar with Chen Feng; their fates could be said to have been changed because of Chen Feng.

For example, Xiao Ning was a disabled person back then. If it weren't for Chen Feng, she would have been confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

Yang Fuqiang and Zhou Chen's lives were also changed because of Chen Feng.

After becoming a cultivator, his family was basically well-off; all they had to do was cultivate and improve their strength.

Therefore, all three of them respected Chen Feng.

"Very good, all the resources we gave you weren't wasted." Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction at the three of them.

Although these three were only at the Foundation Establishment and their aptitude for cultivation was poor.

But all three of them are quite hardworking.

Give them enough time, and they will definitely become top-tier combat forces on Earth in the future.

"Mr. Chen, are you here to check on the spatial rift? We've been keeping watch here, but there hasn't been any activity for the past few days," Xiao Ning said softly.

Facing Chen Feng, Xiao Ning was still like a child, afraid that she would not do well.

Chen Feng said with a smile:

"I know you're doing very well. Have you encountered any problems in your cultivation? Tell me about them."

Since it was a rare opportunity to meet with them, Chen Feng didn't mind taking some time to give them some pointers.

Upon hearing this, the three were overjoyed and immediately voiced their doubts about cultivation.

They didn't have any masters to guide them; they simply practiced according to the Cultivation Method.

Although Lin Wei is already a Golden Core cultivator, she is an oddball. She is good at cultivating on her own, but she can't do the job of instructing others.

After explaining the Dharma to the three for an hour, Chen Feng entered the formation alone.

Xiao Ning and the other two also got up to see them off.

Only after Chen Feng's figure completely disappeared into the formation did the three of them withdraw their gaze.

Yang Fuqiang began by saying:

"Mr. Chen is as easygoing as ever. Can you tell what kind of person he is?"

Zhou Chen looked at him like he was an idiot:

Do you think we, with our level of cultivation, can discern Mr. Chen's realm of understanding?

Xiao Ning said, "Alright, enough chatting, let's get back to cultivation."

After saying that, Xiao Ning sat up cross-legged again.

Receiving praise from Chen Feng made her very happy. The reason she cultivated so diligently was to let Chen Feng know.

Zhou Ye and the other person then stopped chatting and continued their cultivation.

They gained a lot from Chen Feng's lecture.

Inside the formation, Chen Feng stared solemnly at the spatial rift that was more than ten meters high in front of him.

The spatial rift is essentially complete.

Most of the spatial rifts in the Painting Scroll World are also this size.

Space rifts on Earth are natural spatial vortices formed in the universe, and this is irreversible.

However, the spatial rift in the Solar System was forcibly opened by a powerful cultivator.

The spatial rift there must be connected to some cultivation star field.

He had already consulted with Lin Wei and learned that the spatial rift in the Solar System had not expanded much, which reassured him considerably.

If two spatial rifts are opened at the same time, that would be troublesome.

Without much hesitation, Chen Feng immediately stepped towards the spatial rift.

The next second, the scene around Chen Feng changed.

He was currently in a curved spatial passage, surrounded by shimmering light and shadow.

Chen Feng had experienced this kind of scene before in the spatial rift of the Painting Scroll World, so he wasn't curious about it.

Soon, a bright light appeared ahead.

Chen Feng's figure then appeared in a dark and damp cave.

The cave was filled with a foul, fishy odor, and the cave walls were covered with various kinds of moss.

According to the Demon Beast's memories, he already knew that this was the Demon Beast's lair.

The spatial rift appeared in the Demon Beast's lair.

At first, the spatial rift was not large, and the Demon Beast was not very intelligent, so it did not understand what a spatial rift was.

Until recently, the spatial rift has expanded to more than ten meters.

The Demon Beast crawled into the crevice and thus arrived on Earth.

Chen Feng waved his right hand, and a set of array plates appeared in his hand.

He certainly didn't want any more Demon Beast to reach Earth through this spatial rift.

After setting up the formation, Chen Feng transformed into a streak of light and left the cave.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Feng arrived high in the sky.

Looking down at the earth, his doubts deepened.

This planet has no Spiritual Qi, but it is a planet with life, and its size is only one-third that of Earth.

It's truly strange that a planet devoid of Spiritual Qi could give birth to Demon Beast at the Golden Core level.

Chen Feng was about to spread his Divine Sense to investigate when a bird's cry came from afar.

A gigantic flying Demon Beast with a wingspan of tens of meters was seen flying in from a distance.

This Demon Beast has four sharp claws, a slender body, and no feathers on its body; it is completely bald.

Somewhat similar to pterosaurs on Earth.

The pterosaur-like Demon Beast stared intently at Chen Feng Chen Feng, seemingly regarding him as food.

Each flap of its wings stirs up a terrifying gale.

"It's roughly equivalent to the Late Golden Core," Chen Feng assessed the strength of this Demon Beast.

He simply raised his hand and grabbed forward.

In an instant, the Demon Beast, which had been flying at high speed, froze, revealing a large hole in its chest.

The Demon Beast immediately let out a miserable cry and then fell from the sky.

The massive body crashed into the ground, causing a tremendous earthquake.

Almost as soon as the Demon Beast's corpse fell to the ground, a dense swarm of Demon Beast appeared all around.

These Demon Beast varied in size and were all below the Golden Core stage in strength. They devoured the corpses of flying Demon Beast like madmen.

They even fought each other over it.

Chen Feng paid no attention to the battle between the Demon Beast below, but instead looked at the blue crystal in his hand.

This crystal is larger than the one he got before.

He crushed the crystal, and strands of pure soul power entered his body, further enhancing his Divine Sense.
