Unknown Force

"Let's find out where we are first."

Chen Feng suppressed his urge to immediately harvest the Demon Beast.

The situation here is unclear; no one knows if there might be hidden cultivators.

After choosing a direction, Chen Feng transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.

One hour later.

Chen Feng appeared in a swamp on this planet.

The swamp was littered with the corpses of Demon Beast Demon Beast, all of which Chen Feng had killed.

There really aren't any cultivators here.

For the past hour, Chen Feng flown all over the planet but has not detected any trace of cultivators, nor even any Spiritual Qi.

The only living beings on the entire planet are Demon Beast, among which the strongest are only three-headed Nascent Soul level Demon Beast.

"We should go see the stars."

Chen Feng flashed again and appeared in the starry sky.

The dark starry sky was silent, with only Chen Feng standing there all alone.

He glanced back at the planet below.

This planet is very small, about the size of the moon, and is yellowish-brown in color.

"Not only is there no Spiritual Qi on the planet, but there is also no Spiritual Qi in the starry sky. Like the Solar System, it is a place devoid of spiritual energy."

Chen Feng was surprised. It was a strange phenomenon that a spiritually barren environment, similar to the Solar System, could give birth to powerful Demon Beast.

At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly noticed stars appearing in the distant sky, which were the locations of other planets.

"Let's go take a look." Chen Feng immediately took out the Antimatter Warship and headed towards the nearest planet.

After traveling for less than half an hour, Chen Feng arrived at another planet.

This planet is larger than the previous one, and it also has a large number of Demon Beast.

Their overall strength is somewhat greater than that of the Demon Beast on his previous planet, including seven Nascent Soul level Demon Beast.

Chen Feng did not conduct a detailed exploration of this planet, but instead continued to pilot the Antimatter Warship.

And so, seven days passed.

Chen Feng explored nearly thirty planets in total. These planets were all very close to each other, which was completely different from the distribution of planets in the Solar System.

These planets are inhabited by Demon Beast, and he didn't see a single cultivator.

He also discovered that the distribution of planets here was very strange, completely inconsistent with the natural formation of planets in the universe.

Generally speaking, in the universe, planets revolve around stars due to the influence of gravity.

Stars, on the other hand, are also in motion due to being attracted by black holes.

But the situation here was completely different; he found no trace of a star.

The light here seems to appear out of thin air, shining on every planet at regular intervals.

It's as if it were created by human hands.

Upon discovering this, Chen Feng's unease intensified.

If someone could truly create a galaxy, what a terrifyingly powerful being that would be.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse, we can't escape it in the end. Right now, improving our strength is the most important thing.

Chen Feng abandoned the idea of exploring further afield.

Even with Antimatter Warship, it would take far too long to explore this area.

He plans to cultivate here.

He originally planned to go to the Solar System to refine Pluto.

But since there are so many planets here, and it's an environment devoid of spirits, why not just refine these planets?

Refining the planet while simultaneously slaying its Demon Beast to obtain Soul Crystal and strengthen his Divine Sense is currently his best option.

He wouldn't let such fortuitous opportunity slip by.

With a plan in mind, Chen Feng headed towards the planet with the spatial rift.

He planned to first try to see if he could refine the planet here.

A few days later, Chen Feng returned to the planet with the spatial rift.

After arriving on this planet, Chen Feng found a flat area and began to try refining the planet's energy.

As the Cultivation Method was activated, strands of Star Energy rapidly entered his body.

"It really worked." Chen Feng's face lit up with joy.

If it can be refined, then this star system can become his training ground.

"I'll go back to Earth first." Chen Feng stopped cultivating. He planned to return to Earth to make some arrangements before returning to cultivate.

Chen Feng immediately headed towards the Demon Beast cave where the spatial rift was located.

However, he suddenly stopped halfway through his flight because a dazzling light had appeared in space.

These lights were incredibly dazzling, illuminating every part of the planet.

A terrifying aura emerged from within the light. Sensing this aura, Chen Feng's expression instantly changed drastically, and he immediately burrowed into the ground without hesitation.

He only stopped when he was three thousand meters underground.

"The aura of those lights just now felt somewhat familiar."

Chen Feng's expression was solemn. The aura of those lights gave him a feeling of invincibility, even far exceeding the oppressive feeling brought to him by Void Refinement cultivator.

Moreover, he had seen this aura before.

Many years ago, that spatial rift on Earth emitted this kind of aura.

But the aura wasn't nearly as powerful back then.

Chen Feng immediately drew upon the Star Energy from his Primordial Spirit, enveloping his entire body and completely merging himself with the surrounding illusory environment.

He then concealed all his aura.

Only after doing all this did Chen Feng feel relieved.

Two hours passed quickly, and no danger occurred during this time; the light did not penetrate to the ground.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng slowly released his Divine Sense to try and investigate.

As his Divine Sense Divine Sense, it soon reached the surface of the earth.

On the planet's surface, the light had vanished, but the entire planet was now occupied by countless souls. These souls fell from the sky onto the ground, so numerous that they were impossible to count.

Just one glance from Chen Feng sent chills down his spine.

The number of souls within the area covered by his Divine Sense alone exceeded hundreds of millions, and they were still falling from the sky.

The planet's surface is almost entirely filled with these spirits.

After these spirits appeared on the planet, the Demon Beast on the planet began to become restless.

They devoured these souls one by one like madmen.

As these Demon Beast devoured these souls, their auras gradually grew stronger.

Just then, Chen Feng's Divine Sense suddenly detected two figures hovering outside the planet, watching everything that was happening inside.

Both of them had human appearances and were around twenty years old. They were both wearing dark blue robes and had jade belts around their waists.

Both of them emanated fluctuations of Spiritual Power.

"Two Nascent Soul Cultivator!" Chen Feng had already detected the cultivation levels of these two individuals.

Although these two were only at the Nascent Soul stage, he still dared not fully extend his Divine Sense.

The terrifying light we just witnessed was very likely related to those two cultivators.

Chen Feng cautiously extended his Divine Sense towards the two people.

Chen Feng could hear their conversation.

"After this feeding, we won't need to come back for another hundred years. These Soul Beast really have a big appetite," the blue-haired youth among the two said.

Another young man nearby sighed, "It's a pity we can't enjoy these Soul Crystal."

The blue-haired youth said with a smile:

"The next True Disciple Grand Competition is in ten years. Junior Brother, you can give it a try. As long as you enter the top ten of the competition, you can come to this Haotian Secret Realm to enjoy Soul Crystal."

"Senior brother, please stop teasing me. The threshold for the True Disciple Grand Competition requires the Spirit Transformation stage, and I'm only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. Going to participate in the competition would be a death sentence."

The two chatted idly, completely ignoring the Demon Beast feeding below.

It seems that in their eyes, the Demon Beast on the planet are nothing more than livestock they keep in captivity.

In the blue-haired youth's hand was a black disc, from which souls were constantly floating out and landing on the planet.

The two chatted idly for another hour.

No more souls floated out from the black disc, and only then did the two stop their idle chatter.

"It's all sorted out. Contact the others and see how things are going on their end," the blue-haired youth said, turning to the young man beside him.

The young man beside him nodded, then made a hand Method Formula, and soon hundreds of illusory figures appeared in front of him.

These phantom figures were also dressed in dark blue robes.

The blue-haired youth asked, "Fellow disciples, have you finished feeding yourselves?"

One of the illusory figures laughed and said, "It's all over now. We've been waiting for you to contact us, Senior Brother."

The other illusory figures also spoke in succession.

The blue-haired youth nodded, then took out a jade talisman and respectfully said:

"Reporting to the Elder, all one hundred and thirty planets have been fed."

An aged voice came from within the jade talisman. "Hmm, the teleportation array will activate in ten breaths."

"Thank you, Elder." The blue-haired youth bowed again.

Ten breaths passed quickly.

Suddenly, a blinding light appeared above the heads of the blue-haired youth and the others.

Upon seeing the light appear, Chen Feng immediately withdrew his Divine Sense.

The light lasted only three breaths before disappearing.

The blue-haired youth and the hundreds of illusory figures also vanished along with them.

The starry sky returned to its deathly silence.

Deep underground.

Chen Feng's face was ashen.

He had overheard the entire conversation between the two young men. Since they were only at the Nascent Soul Realm, they naturally couldn't detect his Divine Sense approaching.

But what the two were talking about shocked him immensely.

According to the young man, the Demon Beast on these planets were all kept by their sect and were specifically for the use of their disciples.

This vast galaxy is just one of the secret realms under this sect.

The secret realm of a cultivation sect is actually an entire star system!

Even with Chen Feng's resolute will, he was deeply shocked.

Furthermore, the blue-haired youth said that only Spirit Transformation cultivators were qualified to participate in the sect's grand competition. Doesn't this mean that Spirit Transformation are only considered disciples within that sect?

How powerful must this sect be?

"The only saving grace is that the other side didn't discover the spatial rift. And according to what the young man said, they need to feed their Demon Beast once every hundred years, but the True Disciple Grand Competition is in ten years. By then, all the cultivators of this sect will probably have entered this star field."

Chen Feng fell into deep thought.

His eyes went from unease at first, then to determination, and finally filled with murderous intent.

He absolutely cannot allow people from this sect to enter Earth; with Earth's current strength, it is simply no match for such a terrifying force.

This force's strength far surpasses that of the Star Palace in the Weiyang Star Domain.

The Star Palace in the Weiyang Star Domain doesn't have the ability to use a star region as a secret realm.

This was an absolutely enormous cultivation force that he could not even imagine.

Faced with such a terrifying force, he now only has ten years left.

Ten years later, the True Disciple of this sect will descend upon this star system, and the spatial rift will inevitably be discovered then.

"Within ten years, I must raise my strength to a sufficiently high level," Chen Feng decided.

For ordinary cultivators, ten years is but a blink of an eye.

But for Chen Feng, these ten years have allowed him to accomplish many things.

First, there are the more than one hundred planets in this star field. If he could refine them all and form Star Array, his strength would definitely increase to a terrifying level.

Furthermore, if he could devour all the Soul Crystal within the Demon Beast on these planets, his power would undoubtedly increase dramatically.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Feng immediately flew out from underground and returned to the ground, looking up at the starry sky:

"That light just now was probably from a large array that covers this star field, but this array shouldn't have any monitoring function, otherwise I would have been detected by the sect members when I was traveling through space earlier."

Recalling the brilliance he had witnessed earlier, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of apprehension.

The power of that formation is probably too great for even a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage to withstand.

Chen Feng did not linger there. He immediately returned to the Demon Beast cave and then teleported back to Earth through the rift.

Earth, the Golden Triangle, inside a military base.

At this moment, one after another Aerospace Carrier are descending towards the horizon.

In just a few days, no fewer than six hundred Aerospace Carrier have been assembled here.

This is only a portion of the Aerospace Carrier; hundreds more are stationed at the Aerospace Carrier rifts in the Solar System.

The reason these Carrier rushed back to the Golden Triangle was naturally because they received Chen Feng's summons.

The presence of so many Aerospace Carrier in the Golden Triangle has naturally attracted the attention of countries around the world.

Many countries speculate that Jack Security Company's sudden mobilization of so many Carrier is likely related to the monster that previously appeared on Mount Fuji.

However, they have yet to receive any information about the monster, which has caused great anxiety among many countries.

There are currently hundreds of diplomats from various countries stationed in the Golden Triangle, all waiting for a response from Jack Security Company.

A meeting room at a military base.

Chen Feng sat in the main seat, with Lin Wei and other researchers sitting to his left.

Seated on the right are Jack and other high-ranking fleet officers.

Several cultivators, including Xiao Ning, also attended the meeting.

There were nearly twenty people in the entire conference room.

Everyone in the conference room looked serious; Chen Feng rarely allowed researchers and fleet personnel to participate in a meeting together.

Moreover, before the meeting began, Chen Feng also summoned back all the fleets in the Solar System.

This made everyone realize that what Chen Feng was about to say was definitely not simple.

Chen Feng glanced at everyone and then said:

"Now that everyone is here, I won't waste any more words. I'm heading to the other side of the spatial rift."

Chen Feng's words shocked everyone.

Xiao Ning, Lin Wei, and the others weren't too surprised, as they already knew about Chen Feng entering the spatial rift.

Harvey immediately asked, "Professor Chen, did you go to the other side of the spatial rift? What's there?"

A group of researchers stared at Chen Feng with shining eyes.

They already knew about the monster, and they had been studying it for the past few days.

Since the monsters emerged from the spatial rift, it proves that the other side of the spatial rift is a world with life.

This is tantamount to discovering a completely new civilization, and its research value is immense.

The researchers couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Chen Feng tapped his fingers on the table, silencing the murmurs. He then continued, "..."

"The other side of the spatial rift is indeed a world with life."

Chen Feng began to recount his discoveries in that world.

Of course, he didn't mention some key points, such as the sect that appeared.

Talking about this would only cause Harvey and the others unnecessary worry and wouldn't serve any purpose.

Harvey and the others were shocked after hearing Chen Feng's words.

"Hundreds of planets with life!"

"Oh my god, is this real?"

"But why are there only monsters on this planet, and no other living beings? This doesn't fit the food chain!"

"These planets must be very different from our Earth!"

Several researchers exclaimed in surprise.

Humans have been searching for planets with life for many years, but have not made any significant discoveries.

But now, hundreds of such planets have suddenly appeared, and the shock they bring to everyone is unimaginable.

"Those monsters are very powerful. If they were allowed to enter Earth, they would cause enormous destruction. I've decided to eliminate them, and I'll leave this task to Jack."

Chen Feng turned his gaze to Jack.

Soul Crystal are something he absolutely needs, but he can't go and collect them himself, so letting Jack and the others do it is undoubtedly the best course of action.

He, on the other hand, focused on refining the planet.
