Overbearing Immortal Doctor Chapter 1637 - 1736: Crystal

"I’ve been cultivating for many years, and only just bred some Insect Beasts and Beasts on par with those of the Holy Land. Unexpectedly, a strange young man is forcing me to use them." The King of Canaan looked at these insects and beasts; they were chittering and roaring softly. They were very close to each other, as if they regarded the King of Canaan as their parent. The methods he used to raise insects and beasts were unique to him, but in truth, the price and effort required were incredibly great. Naturally, the bond was deep. Over the years, the King of Canaan had treated these eight beasts as his own children.

"My eight children are fighting that fencing young man. My soul is also attached to these children. Their experiences are like my own." The King of Canaan said, "Of course I can see what that kid intends."

"Have all eight beasts been sent out?" The old man in the grey robe was a little troubled. "Just send two or three."

"Better to be cautious. I already failed once before. This time I cannot fail again." The King of Canaan’s heart stirred. The eight insects and eight beasts instantly let out a deafening roar, then flew out of the hall doors one after another. They shot into the open expanse, charging toward Qin Feng’s direction.

At times, the sneak attacks of native Cultivators couldn’t hurt Qin Feng at all. His Spirit sense could discern what was threatening him and what was not.

At this moment, as Qin Feng flew, he was stroking a piece of Crystal Stone in his hand, a smile hanging on his face. Inside his Space Ring there were also large quantities of such crystals.

"I never expected that the so‑called foundations of the world, used to maintain the stability of this Nihilism World, are also composed of Array Source crystals. In that Nightmare Space there are so many crystals, and their purity far surpasses that of any large Clan. Thanks to the Deng Tian Giant Beast for creating this Nihilism World—I never thought anyone would try to destroy it, so I never specifically hid the Crystal Stones inside the Arrays. Otherwise, in that Illusion‑filled space, I reckon removing these Crystal Stones from the Arrays wouldn’t have been easy."

Indeed, the Nightmare Space is a dangerous place within the Nihilism World precisely because it is one of the foundations of this Nihilism World. Previously, Qin Feng had encountered 108 Jijing experts forming Array after Array to encircle and hunt him. The first time, Qin Feng treated the power of Illusory Dust like a dream, easily plunging those people into a state of ignorance. Then he killed them one by one, leaving them not knowing how they died. However, before the slaughter, Qin Feng had deliberately spared the ten strongest Polar Cultivators, intending to exert the power of Monarch over them and probe the real world.

The first six killed themselves, just like the ones before them. The seventh finally happened to be someone who feared death and did not commit suicide. From his words Qin Feng also learned that there was a Holy Land called "King of Canaan" capable of ordering them to kill themselves. If they didn’t, they would be cast into a dangerous place called "Nightmare Space". After receiving the broken sword’s warning, Qin Feng immediately became aware of the Nightmare Space.

Qin Feng had inherited all of Fusheng’s legacy; whether in Arrays or enchantments he was unique, so constructing a powerful Array to protect the Emperor was no surprise. Under the command of the Star Heaven Sect, experts from Holy Lands, great nations, and extreme environments were countless. Besides the vast number of Holy Land beasts and extreme environment beings, injecting sufficient energy into a formation was no problem. Even though the energy needed to establish the mighty Battle Array that defended the Emperor was enormous, what was astonishing was that after the power of these hundred‑plus Holy Land cultivators, human Holy Land cultivators, and foreign beasts was exhausted, they would go back to cultivate, then inject energy again. In this manner, even without marching to war, the powerful Battle Team defending the Emperor would be fully formed.

But all of this was difficult because there were no Source Crystals.

Even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice: Qin Feng had the ability to forge the strongest Defensive Array, and the Star Heaven Sect had enough experts and power to inject into the Array. But without the mother‑core crystals that create it, everything was futile. Thus the Star Heaven Sect was so vast, occupying huge territories and great cities, yet had never thought to establish a powerful formation to protect this Clan. It wasn’t that Qin Feng was unwilling; he simply couldn’t.

The Array Source crystals were extremely precious. The higher the energy level of a Source Crystal, the scarcer it was. Moreover, the Origin Crystals required by the Huangfu Ancient Clan’s Zhuang Sunxgu and other great armies had extremely high tiers and enormous quantities. Therefore, once their Clan protection Arrays were destroyed, they could not be restored for decades, even thousands of years.

Now, Qin Feng had stumbled upon these Origin Crystals that were the source of the Nihilism World. Furthermore, the Source Crystal level that stabilised this world was far higher than that used by the Huangfu Clan’s Zhuang Sunx, Zhuang Sunx. How could Qin Feng not be delighted?

"According to the Polar Cultivator, our position in this Nihilism World is known to all those in power. Even Extremely High Level Polar Cultivators can see our location, it’s just a pity he didn’t know any more. He only told me that in this general direction, four beasts had come from the boundless expanse." Qin Feng narrowed his eyes again.

He had also killed an extreme Cultivator who had been controlled by the King’s authority. In this strange world, he could not afford carelessness. Still, Qin Feng had learned a great deal from that Practitioner. For example, in this direction we might find the White Fox and other beasts.

"Look ahead. Hopefully my heart can find them." With this in mind, Qin Feng increased his speed of flight.

"Ah?"

Suddenly, Qin Feng sensed danger.

"From this side too?"

"And here as well?"

Qin Feng looked in all directions, feeling a concentrated aura rapidly closing in from every side.

"Fine, I’m going to kill again!"

Qin Feng stood suspended in mid‑air, a broken sword in his hand.

"Roar—" Accompanied by a low bestial roar, a green beetle with wings on its back emerged from the twisted space hundreds of miles away. Its Golden eyes locked onto Qin Feng.

"Hiss—" A huge Black Snake with two heads also appeared from another Void.

Each breath it exhaled was as powerful as a Holy Land.

Qin Feng muttered in a low voice, "Holy Land beasts and other creatures?"

But he did not yet know that in this Nihilism World there were two kinds of monsters. One type was called "vicious beasts", essentially the same as the endless giant beasts, only with a different name. The other was called "Insect Beasts": they were bred from insects and beasts. Their intelligence was low; they could not transform into human form, nor even speak. But they were extremely loyal to their master. If they were lucky, they could even breed Insect Beasts stronger than themselves.

Because their intelligence was low, these beasts possessed no secret techniques. Their most formidable weapon was their powerful bodies.

"What, a single sword is that fierce? Truly astonishing." The King of Canaan immediately verified that although Qin Feng had not yet gone all out, it was precisely because he was not going all out that made him even more terrifying.

"Run."

At the outset, the seven insects that had been sent to be killed by Qin Feng scattered in all directions.

"Trying to leave?" Qin Feng’s eyes were icy. Although he had a method to sweep away shadows in the Void, these seven Insect Beasts were fleeing in different directions.

"Stay!"

The space‑time around Qin Feng began to distort.

Rumble.

A razor‑sharp Sword Qi cleaved through the sky along the trembling blade; six streams of Sword Qi shot out in succession from the broken sword. Seven Sword Qi slashed directly toward the seven beasts that were fleeing.

Seeing the world around them suddenly turning into a realm of swords, the seven beasts were all stunned. The soul of the King of Canaan rested upon them, urging them to flee! The King of Canaan had already guessed that the young man intended to kill all of them with the broken sword.

"Hmph, even if your power has reached the fourth layer of the Holy Land, what can you do? When a Swordsmanship’s scope is this vast, its might is necessarily weakened. When you stretch your attack across such a distance, by the time you kill our children, the power will be too weak to threaten them."

"All Sky Sword Skill!" Qin Feng whispered, yet his voice was like the voice of Heaven and Earth, echoing for dozens of miles through Heaven and Earth, as if embodying some profound law.

The brilliant light of seven swords suddenly streaked across the Void.

Clang.
