Chapter 816: Four hundred eighty thousand meters per second!

Oro turned grim as he repeated Golcen Ward’s final words: “The Dark Night’s Descent!”

“The Dark Night’s Descent?!” Xia Fei was startled. He started muttering, “It’s been eons since an Inverse last appeared. Will this tremendously impact the entire Law Realm?!”

“No,” Oro shook his head and gravely said, “it’s not just the Law Realm. This will be a disaster for the entire universe! Alas, even you’re unable to confirm if it truly was an Inverse, so we can only speculate. In short, all this might be a sign—a sign that the universe is about to experience a revolution!”

Xia Fei suddenly felt he was having difficulties breathing. The closer he got to the depths of the universe, the more vast and mysterious it felt. He had originally believed that the two peak races were the strongest existences of the universe, but now he had discovered that there were two extremist factions called the Guardians and the Rebels. This was not even mentioning the unknown symbolized by the Cosmic Gate.

There was only one way to get closer to the truth: Join the God Race as quickly as possible and get closer to the legendary Cosmic Gate!

“When exactly do you plan on killing me?” Oro suddenly asked.

Oro’s heart was brimming with a sense of danger. Although he and Xia Fei found it impossible to confirm if that scene just then was the reappearance of the Inverse, as the patriarch of the Lionheart Clan and its protector, Oro was not just worried about himself but also the hundreds of millions of members of his family.

If all his speculations were true, it meant that the universe was about to enter a long period of darkness. Oro needed to go back to the Lionheart Clan and find out the truth so that he could lead his people in amply preparing themselves. To do all this, he needed Xia Fei to kill him.

Xia Fei lit a cigarette and solemnly replied, “The day I enter the God Race is the day of your rebirth. Regardless, the three-year period isn’t even up.”

To tell the truth, Xia Fei was very unwilling to let go of Oro. This old monster he had inadvertently picked up was a treasure trove of experience and had a very profound cultivation. He had helped him quite a lot, so Xia Fei preferred if he could keep Oro around for a bit longer.

Oro was taken aback, and then he nodded. “Alright, it’s a deal then.”

The laughter in the Wind Garden rang endlessly. The Skywing wolves were all excited after cementing the unshakable status of their clan in the Law Realm and exterminating the two religions and one clan. Amid all this merriment, Xia Fei entered the training room alone.

Meals needed to be eaten bite by bite. While Xia Fei wanted nothing more than to rush to the Cosmic Gate and see what was going on, he knew that he was still very far from the terminus of the universe.

The rainbow ball in his seventh brain region was dazzlingly bright. After absorbing the essence of one Law Overlord and ten-some Law Emperors, this miraculous ball of energy had rapidly swelled. As Xia Fei’s level rose and he used this ball more, Xia Fei discovered that it grew stronger and stronger, capable of holding an absurd amount of energy.

It must be understood that this ball had been very weak at the start. Just one Law Emperor’s energy would have it getting restless, but now, it could contain the energy of more than a dozen Law Emperors at once.

This was naturally great news to Xia Fei, for it was as if he was carrying a supersized Origin Crystal with him at all times. Even in the most difficult of battles, this energy ball could sustain him for a very long time. This was not even mentioning the assistance it provided Xia Fei in charging through thresholds and its ability to produce unstoppable explosions at times of crisis.

Of course, all of this was because Xia Fei had an abnormal ability to control energy. An ordinary warrior would probably kill themselves if they could not control this dangerous ball of energy.

*Whoosh~*

Xia Fei shot forward like a streak of light. Advancement in the Law of Speed was right in front of him. Earlier, during the battle, Xia Fei had sensed that breakthrough into level 2 was near, and he had been forced to suppress it.

Advancing in the middle of battle was a dangerous thing, for the body would temporarily weaken, and time was needed after advancing to solidify the foundations. Now that the battle was over, Xia Fei’s first order of business was to break through and advance into level 2 Law of Speed practitioner!

In the early morning, as the first ray of sunlight appeared, Xia Fei had already spent ten hours cultivating non-stop in the training room.

*Beng!*

As if the air had suddenly been ignited, Xia Fei’s speed began to soar absurdly!

Twenty-eight!

Thirty!

Thirty-five!

An indescribable sense of lightness began to seep through Xia Fei’s body. It was as if there had been a giant stone on his chest before this, which made it hard for him to breathe, but after advancing, this comfortable sensation spread throughout his body, and his footsteps became lighter and lighter. There was simply no stopping his acceleration!

The level 2 of the Law of Speed had been broken!

Xia Fei’s speed doubled, reaching four hundred eighty thousand meters per second!

This was an absurd speed! Even among the speed geniuses of the Skywings, this would rank near the top!

*Pa pa pa pa!*

Applause resounded through the training room. The one clapping was none other than Patriarch Xia Buyun. He had noticed that Xia Fei was training and had been observing him since then, a joyous look in his eyes as he quietly stood in place.

Xia Fei breathed out and slowed himself down as he went over to Xia Buyun.

“A Godwing is a Godwing. I really have nothing else to say. What else can your speed of advancement do except leave me astonished?” said Xia Buyun with a shrug.

Top-class talent, incredible tenacity, and a sharp mind. Oro had once believed that Xia Fei’s cultivation speed would slow down once he hit the Law Emperor cultivation until it was eventually no different from ordinary warriors, but reality had already shown that Oro was terribly mistaken.

The energy distribution ring White Jade Swimming Dragon, the bloodsucking Blood Crystal, that mysterious energy ball in the seventh brain region, and Xia Fei’s monstrous ability to control energy had allowed him to advance faster and faster. Not only was he not slowing down, he was even accelerating!

Xia Fei was very humble, saying, “Patriarch flatters me. I’m simply doing everything I can.”

Xia Buyun nodded in approval. Xia Fei understood how to keep himself inconspicuous. Though he was clearly a rare genius in the Law Realm, he normally maintained a low profile. It was an attitude that Xia Buyun admired greatly, for it was also safer this way.

Geniuses were often brought down by their aloofness and pride. While Xia Fei’s madness in the middle of danger transcended the realm of arrogance, he was normally no different from an ordinary person. This personality undoubtedly helped him travel much farther.

“I’m about to leave, so I came to say goodbye. You played a major role in our complete victory over the two religions and one clan. Even the grand ancestor is effusive with praise for you. With you as the lone wolf of the Skywing wolfpack formation, our might is doubled!

“However, you seem to be troubled by something. While everyone else in the clan was wildly celebrating yesterday, you didn’t really participate.”

Xia Fei chuckled. “Patriarch, you didn’t participate, either. Can I presume that the grand ancestor has issued another order?”

Xia Buyun nodded. “You’re as observant as ever. Correct. I spent last night speaking with our grand ancestor for a long while. We found the incident to be rather strange.”

Xia Fei was startled, hastily asking, “Strange?”

Xia Buyun replied, “Yes. The Primordial Sect, Old God Cult, and Moonward Clan all have some strength up there. Despite the fact that we defied the orders from the God Race and exterminated them, those above didn’t assign much blame to the grand ancestor. They simply chatted with him for dozen or so minutes. Even our grand ancestor didn’t believe the matter would be dropped this easily. It was far too simple.”

Xia Fei creased his brows. “It’s really rather strange. Even if they didn’t investigate, they should at least do something for their subordinates to see so that the other clans wouldn’t lose heart.”

Xia Buyun replied, “The grand ancestor felt the same. Such light treatment may be because the relationship between the two peak races has been rather tense lately. There are rumors going around, saying that the two races are actually at war already, so they can’t shuffle their elites as much as they want. There’s no other explanation that will make sense aside from that.”

Xia Fei froze for a moment. If that dark silhouette was really an Inverse that had come in through the Cosmic Gate, should the two peak races not both start preparing their defenses? Rekindling the sparks of war at this time was just asking for trouble, was it not?

If the two races killed off each other’s elites by fighting in an all-out war, what would they use to fight back against that wicked power beyond the Cosmic Gate?!

Xia Fei gravely asked, “Patriarch, there’s something I don’t understand. At the last moment of the battle that day, the stars suddenly dimmed. Do you know why that was?”

Xia Fei did not directly say anything, instead approaching the matter by asking Xia Buyun a question.

Xia Buyun shook his head. “I told this to the grand ancestor, but his venerable self said that I needn’t worry about it and just have to do my job. I truly can’t answer your question.”

Xia Fei said nothing in return. After all, the Inverse’s reappearance after eons was a matter of grave importance, so the God Race might have wanted to keep it under wraps.

Xia Buyun patted Xia Fei on the shoulder. “Our Skywing Clan will once more be falling into silence. You should use this opportunity to advance. Xia Tian, Xia Laoshi, and Xia Changcun will continue with your curriculum. In addition, when you have the time, you should go and report to Dragon Ascension Martial Hall. I’ve already notified the Feng family.”

Xia Fei frowned and asked, “I need to go to Dragon Ascension as well? My cultivation schedule is so packed that I hardly have any time for myself. Besides, our clan’s cultivation methods are different. Dragon Ascension may not be very helpful to me.”

Xia Buyun answered, “You’re not going to do anything. You just need the token from Dragon Ascension. There are two ways to advance to the God Race: The first is through the clan’s selection, and the second is through Dragon Ascension Martial Hall. Believe me when I say that this will be very beneficial to you.”

Xia Fei was speechless and could only nod.

Once Xia Buyun had been sent off, Oro said, “It seems that your grand ancestor wants to see you as soon as possible.”

Xia Fei asked in surprise, “Why is that?”

Oro explained, “To enter the two peak races, you generally need to have Law Overlord cultivation. You’ve just become a Great Law Emperor, and your Skywings have made too much of a ruckus lately, so your grand ancestor has no means of directly summoning you. Using Dragon Ascension Conclave is achieving the goal through a different path. After all, Dragon Ascension serves the God Race and has the right to promote someone ahead of time without any objections.”

Xia Fei spent a few days adjusting his condition and solidifying his hard-fought gains. He saw that the Celestial Zerohammer was probably done now, so he went off to see Huo Yutong.

‘Now that I’ve advanced in the Law of Primal Chaos, the armament forged should be pretty good, right?’ Xia Fei thought to himself.
