Chapter 998: Weapon

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When the Glass Space was being pulled towards the Return to Nothing Realm, its Rule Integration Realm experts had long sensed the impending fall.

The Glass Clan had attempted to alter this fate, but compared to the immense power of the Return to Nothing Realm, the Glass Space seemed too weak.

In other words, the two were simply incomparable.

The fall of the Glass Space into the Return to Nothing Realm had become inevitable.

Once the Rule Integration Realm experts of the Glass Space realized this harsh reality, they began preparing for the imminent collision between the Glass Space and the Return to Nothing Realm.

Naturally, these Rule Integration Realm experts could have left the Glass Space before the collision occurred.

For Rule Integration Realm experts, surviving in the void and finding the coordinates of the Return to Nothing Realm was not a difficult task.

However, if the Rule Integration Realm experts of the Glass Clan had simply departed, the remaining beings in the Glass Space, except for a few lucky ones, would have been doomed to die.

This was not a baseless assumption; in such realm collisions, Rule Integration Realm experts caught at the center would face certain death.

Those below the Rule Integration Realm level would also face annihilation if struck by the aftermath of the collision.

Among the seventeen Rule Integration Realm experts of the Glass Clan, nine left before the collision, while the remaining eight stayed behind and relocated most of the Glass Clan and other beings to the Central Mountain Range.

Ultimately, the majority of the Glass Clan survived. Although some perished in the collision, this was the best outcome that could be achieved.

Besides relocating various precious materials and beings to the Central Mountain Range before the collision, the Rule Integration Realm experts of the Glass Clan also crafted a map of the mountains and rivers.

Using the innate treasure, the Mountain River Sword, which had existed since the birth of the Glass Space, and with the refinement of eight Rule Integration Realm experts, it was ultimately forged into a Rule Integration Realm Artifact, the Mountain River Map.

The Mountain River Sword, previously wielded by the strongest expert of the Glass Space, was elevated to a Rule Integration Realm Artifact after this expert broke through to Rule Integration Realm a thousand years ago.

Since the Mountain River Sword was born with the Glass Space, it naturally resonated with the rules of the realm.

After being forged into the Mountain River Map, this resonance was preserved, allowing it to reflect the current state of the Glass Space.

Since the entry of alien races into the Glass Space, the Rule Integration Realm experts of the Glass Clan in the Central Mountain Range had been aware of and continuously monitored these intruders.

The purpose of forging the Mountain River Map was not only to monitor the entire Glass Space but also to move freely within it.

However, the intensity of the collision between the Glass Space and the Return to Nothing Realm exceeded the Rule Integration Realm experts’ expectations.

The Glass Space was on the brink of collapse, with its rules distorted and even broken.

The resonance between the Mountain River Map and the Glass Space instantly dropped several levels, making it impossible for the map to move freely throughout the realm.

Nevertheless, this was not a major issue. The general trends within the Glass Space were still under their control, except for the appearance of Chen Fei and his attacks, which were nearly of Rule Integration Realm strength.

Since the entry of alien races into the Glass Space and the appearance of these races, the Rule Integration Realm experts of the Glass Clan had never considered sitting idly by.

Outside the Glass Space, there were Emperor-level experts, and the Rule Integration Realm experts of the Glass Clan had sensed them through the Mountain River Map.

As the rules of the Glass Space gradually stabilized, it was inevitable that more Emperor-level experts would arrive in the Glass Space. At that point, all the Glass Clan members, including their Rule Integration Realm experts, would likely be at their mercy.

Against Emperor-level experts, the ordinary Rule Integration Realm experts would be powerless to resist.

Life or death would depend entirely on the decisions of others.

The Rule Integration Realm experts of the Glass Clan did not want to face such a situation.

Moreover, if even those at the Rule Integration Realm level were at the mercy of fate, the situation for others in the Glass Clan would be even worse.

When the Glass Space collided with the Return to Nothing Realm, they chose not to leave early to preserve the lives of the Glass Clan members.

The presence of eight danger zones within the Glass Space was not a coincidence. In fact, these Rule Integration Realm experts had deliberately created them using the Mountain River Map.

The alien races within these zones, which relied on twisted rules, were nearly immortal.

At the right moment, the Rule Integration Realm experts planned to fuse each of these alien races with themselves, gaining an almost immortal characteristic.

Additionally, the remaining Glass Clan Emperor controlled the Mountain River Map, integrating the eight Rule Integration Realm experts into a single force capable of driving the Glass Space.

Even when Emperor-level experts from outside the Glass Space arrived, they would have some confidence to resist.

However, this was not about forcibly resisting dozens of Emperor-level experts but rather having a chance to negotiate or even merge with a certain race.

It was preferable to have a chance to speak rather than being obliterated without any opportunity to negotiate.

The plan had been progressing smoothly until Chen Fei launched an attack with nearly Rule Integration Realm strength and destroyed some of the distorted rules within the Taiyin Peak. This had caused a change in the situation.

Due to the damage to the rules at Taiyin Peak, not only had its power diminished, but other changes had also occurred, which were highly disadvantageous for the subsequent fusion of these danger zones.

With Chen Fei heading to Suspended Peak Mountain, there was a concern that fighting there might also lead to changes.

Moreover, given the power Chen Fei had displayed, the eight danger zones in the Glass Space would likely face further attacks.

“We originally planned to wait until the rules stabilized more before going out to fuse with those alien races, but now it seems we can no longer wait,” a voice echoed in the Glass Palace.

Ideally, they would wait for the next rule changes when the external experts could not enter, and the rules of the Glass Space would be less intense, allowing the eight danger zones to mature further.

More importantly, this would provide enough time to refine these alien races.

Having ample time would allow them to perfect their plans rather than rushing to complete them before the experts arrived.

“Should we refine those alien races now? Their potential is still not high enough, and refining them now would greatly impact our future strength,” another Rule Integration Realm expert from the Glass Clan frowned and said.

“We don’t need to refine them immediately, but this human must be driven out. We cannot allow him to continue destroying those alien races,” one of the Rule Integration Realm experts pointed at Chen Fei on the Mountain River Map.

With the arrival of so many alien races in the Glass Space, the Glass Clan had already obtained some basic information about these races through the Mountain River Map.

“This human race has extraordinary talent. Do you think that if we forcibly retain him in the Glass Space, we might have some bargaining chips with the Emperor-level experts of the human race?” a voice suddenly suggested.

The other eight Rule Integration Realm experts of the Glass Clan fell silent. This move seemed risky—might the human Emperor-level experts think they were being threatened?

“Forget it. Just drive him out. The strength of this human is formidable, and it’s unnecessary to take such a risk,” Zhu Min said after some thought, shaking his head.

With a wave of his right hand, Zhu Min altered the scene on the Mountain River Map to track Chen Fei and his companions.

The resonance of the Mountain River Map connected the entire Glass Space, functioning like a force of nature. Even Rule Integration Realm experts might not notice any anomalies, let alone Chen Fei.

“But merely driving him away will make the external Emperor-level experts, especially the human ones, quickly notice our unusual activities. Many things could become uncontrollable then,” another Glass Clan Emperor, Qiu Yu, warned.

Zhu Min’s hand paused slightly; this was indeed a concern.

Through each tear in the Glass Space and the feedback from the Mountain River Map, they had sensed the terrifying power of Emperor-level experts.

If the Glass Space were to be discovered, it was hard to predict what might happen.

“Then what do you suggest we do?” Zhu Min asked, turning to the others.

“Killing a Sun Moon Realm being has little significance, but we could imprison him in one of the alien races until the rules change. Once we’ve successfully refined the alien races, we can then decide whether to release him or not,” Qiu Yu suggested with a serious tone.

Zhu Min said nothing, turning to look at the other Rule Integration Realm experts. They exchanged glances and agreed with Qiu Yu’s suggestion.

They could neither allow Chen Fei to continue disrupting the alien races nor could they drive him away now and expose their situation. Therefore, imprisoning him was the only option.

As for whether Chen Fei would be released later or handed over to the Evil Clan or Ice Clan, it would depend on the situation.

Currently, based on what they had seen and learned, the most powerful were the human race, the Evil Clan, and the Ice Clan, and they were in opposition.

Given this human prodigy, the Evil Clan and Ice Clan would undoubtedly want to eliminate him quickly. Thus, handing Chen Fei over to them could potentially earn them significant goodwill.

“Who will go?” Zhu Min nodded, no longer opposing the idea.

“I’ll go. With such talent, I’m curious about how he trains,” Qiu Yu said with a light smile.

“Alright!”

Zhu Min waved his hand, and the Mountain River Map emitted a dazzling light. Ripples spread across its surface.

While the Mountain River Map could not allow them to appear anywhere in the Glass Space at will, it had no issue transporting them out of the Central Mountain Range.

With a smile on his face, Qiu Yu moved to the Mountain River Map, stepped inside, and vanished from the Glass Palace.

Chen Fei, who was heading to Suspended Peak Mountain, suddenly changed his expression. His Indestructible Vision was trembling violently, and a sense of imminent disaster surged in his heart.

“What’s wrong?” Kuang Xingfeng and Lu Shuzhang noticed Chen Fei’s expression and asked in surprise.

“There’s danger. You two should go elsewhere or leave the Glass Space immediately!”

Chen Fei couldn’t pinpoint exactly where the danger was coming from, but within the Glass Space, where Rule Integration Realm experts were absent, nothing should be able to threaten him.

Especially since Chen Fei currently had numerous spiritual essences at his disposal, allowing him to unleash attacks nearly equivalent to Rule Integration Realm strength.

Without time for further explanation, Chen Fei took a step forward, entering a spatial rift and disappearing from his original location.

Kuang Xingfeng and Lu Shuzhang, hearing Chen Fei’s warning, were visibly concerned. If someone as formidable as Chen Fei sensed danger, it was clear that this threat was beyond their ability to handle.

Realizing this, Kuang Xingfeng and Lu Shuzhang adjusted their course and flew towards other areas.

Chen Fei began to rapidly relocate, heading towards a weaker spot in the Glass Space’s spatial structure.

With Chen Fei’s current power, even if he unleashed the Shatter Star Slash, it would only create minor fissures in the space.

These tiny fissures would vanish in an instant, making it nearly impossible for the external Emperor-level experts to pinpoint his location.

In a very short period, Chen Fei had moved tens of thousands of miles, but the warning from his Indestructible Vision not only persisted but intensified.
