Chen Fei lifted his head slightly, locking onto the distant silhouette directly and suddenly accelerating. No need to search for the Azure Dragon Carp from past traces; things became much simpler all at once.

As Chen Fei closed the distance with the silhouette, its true appearance appeared before his eyes.

Its body tapered and flattened, with a slight bulge in front of the dorsal fin. The appearance of this Azure Dragon Carp was not much different from that of ordinary fish.

However, as this Azure Dragon Carp swam, its color kept changing, blending completely with the surrounding environment.

Chen Fei exerted all his strength in using the Profound Heavenly Escape, covering a distance of over twenty li in the blink of an eye.

When Chen Fei was only a few miles away from the Azure Dragon Carp, it sensed something and, upon perceiving Chen Fei’s aura, which had just entered the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, it immediately turned around and chased after him.

Chen Fei used the Dragon-Elephant Induction Point and the Slaughter Spirit Technique to suppress his aura to a level below even the first transformation of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Compared to the strength of this third-tier mid-level Azure Dragon Carp, his aura was truly insignificant.

In the eyes of this Azure Dragon Carp, Chen Fei’s pursuit was seen as a significant act of provocation, a matter of survival of the fittest, where it could simply swallow this human whole.

There was a significant discrepancy between this Azure Dragon Carp and the one described in the mission jade slip, which was said to be in the early third stage.

If Chen Fei were to hand over such an Azure Dragon Carp, it would likely raise suspicion from the Task Hall. Crushing the Azure Dragon Carp’s demon core might cause its cultivation to plummet, but it could also lead to its death.

However, Chen Fei could bring Tong Linyun along, a martial artist in the middle stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. With his inclusion, completing this task would seem more reasonable.

“Roar!”

The Azure Dragon Carp arrived before Chen Fei, roaring loudly, its massive sound waves vibrating the seawater intensely, causing it to tremble violently. In the next moment, it directly turned into mist.

Between the Azure Dragon Carp and Chen Fei, a passage entirely composed of mist appeared in an instant. Like teleportation, the Azure Dragon Carp swiftly arrived before Chen Fei along the mist, its tail swinging towards his head.

The mist became part of the Azure Dragon Carp, which originally measured only a few meters long but now seemed to expand to tens of meters in an instant.

As its tail moved, the mist condensed into a massive tail, striking towards Chen Fei.

The mist, originally supposed to be soft and powerless, was now imbued with astonishing force. Wherever the carp’s tail passed, the vast expanse of seawater immediately parted.

Chen Fei remained composed, activating all three forbidden techniques simultaneously. His aura suddenly surged to the middle stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, even seeming to break through the limit and enter the late stage of Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

The roaring sound of the Dragon Elephant resonated faintly within Chen Fei’s body. Stepping forward, a tremendous force under his feet created a massive vacuum in the seawater. Then, with a slight recoil, Chen Fei thrust his sword forward.

The Azure Dragon Carp sensed the change in Chen Fei’s aura, its eyes revealing astonishment. This human had shamelessly disguised his cultivation just now.

Though realizing it had been deceived, the Azure Dragon Carp found itself unable to retreat at this moment. Chen Fei’s attack was so fierce that withdrawing midway would likely result in even more disastrous consequences.

In an attempt to withstand the attack, the scales all over the Azure Dragon Carp’s body began to shake rapidly, causing the mist to expand suddenly, as if the Azure Dragon Carp had grown another layer.

As a result, the force behind the carp’s tail surged another level in an instant.

“Boom!”

The immense force created a huge vacuum in the seawater, causing countless undercurrents to spread in all directions.

The mist clinging to the Azure Dragon Carp was completely shattered by Chen Fei’s sword, leaving its tail mangled and missing a sizable chunk of flesh.

With a backward kick of his right foot, Chen Fei closed in on the Azure Dragon Carp, intending to finish it off.

With Chen Fei’s current cultivation at the middle stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, few could rival him, and even among creatures of the same level, he could handle them alone.

Even for extraordinary sea monsters like the Azure Dragon Carp, the outcome would remain unchanged.

“Roar!’’

Seeing Chen Fei approaching, fear flashed in the eyes of the Azure Dragon Carp. Knowing it was no match, its first instinct was to flee.

“Hum!”

A ripple emanated from the Azure Dragon Carp’s body, and in the next moment, it disappeared from its original position.

Chen Fei’s eyes widened slightly, filled with incredulity, as he scanned the surroundings, but there was no trace of the Azure Dragon Carp.

A crack appeared on Chen Fei’s forehead, and within his black-and-white vision, he finally spotted the Azure Dragon Carp’s trace, which had already moved over twenty miles away.

In the blink of an eye, it had shifted over twenty miles horizontally. Such speed shouldn’t be present in a third-tier mid-level sea monster, even if it were an Azure Dragon Carp; it shouldn’t possess such capability.

Just as Chen Fei was about to move, he realized that the Azure Dragon Carp had vanished from his sight. The opponent had once again shifted horizontally, surpassing the distance that could be directly observed by the Heavenly Eye.

Although he couldn’t see it directly, the aura lines of the Azure Dragon Carp were still visible in the Heavenly Eye.

A power that shouldn’t exist in an Azure Dragon Carp suddenly piqued Chen Fei’s interest.

If his initial pursuit had been for the Aperture Condensing Pill, now Chen Fei valued this ability to shift over twenty li in an instant even more.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered, following the guidance of the Heavenly Eye, trailing behind the Azure Dragon Carp from afar.

The Azure Dragon Carp was probably genuinely frightened by Chen Fei, resorting to repeatedly using this ability to increase the distance between them.

For other martial artists, facing such a situation would likely make it difficult to catch up. The traces left behind by the ability to shift over twenty li in an instant were almost negligible.

Only unreasonable eye techniques like the Heavenly Eye could persistently hang behind the Azure Dragon Carp like this.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed, with hundreds of li covered in pursuit. Chen Fei stood in the seawater, looking at a seemingly ordinary cave in the distance. The last place where the aura of the Azure Dragon Carp had appeared was inside this cave.

Chen Fei frowned slightly, his figure flickering as he emerged from the sea surface. Looking around, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Two black beads appeared in Chen Fei’s hands. Compared to when he was in Sea Dominion City, the frequency of the ripples on the black beads now flashed extremely fast, as if something were stirring them.

The Black Divine Bead. Chen Fei hadn’t expected that, by a twist of fate, the place where the Azure Dragon Carp fled to would be the area designated by the Black Divine Bead.

“Perhaps it’s not a coincidence. The special power of this Azure Dragon Carp may indeed come from the location of the Black Divine Bead.”

Chen Fei pondered a possibility, his expression slightly fluctuating.

Chen Fei’s figure re-entered the seawater, looking at the distant cave with some hesitation. He was uncertain about what lay beyond the cave.

The Azure Dragon Carp could gain benefits, leave safely, and even when faced with danger, it actively ran towards this place. That indicated that its mid-level third-tier strength was enough to deal with the dangers inside.

Perhaps someone had seen the Azure Dragon Carp as just an early-level third-tier before, but now it had become a mid-level third-tier. The increase in its strength came from within this cave.

From this perspective, Chen Fei entering shouldn’t be a problem. But this was ultimately just speculation, and no one could say for sure what the actual situation was.

As Chen Fei pondered whether to summon a clone to investigate, he suddenly looked up and noticed someone flying towards him from afar.

The Heavenly Eye flickered slightly, and Chen Fei saw a figure rushing towards him in panic, with others seemingly chasing from further behind.

After a moment of consideration, Chen Fei shifted his position several li away to avoid direct confrontation with the approaching figure.

Once the person and their pursuers had passed, Chen Fei would then proceed to investigate the Black Divine Cave to find out what was going on.

“Hum!”

As Chen Fei patiently waited, a peculiar fluctuation emanated from within his Qiankun Bag. Before Chen Fei could react, two Black Divine Beads suddenly shot out, transforming into a black light that enveloped Chen Fei completely, leaving him no time to dodge.

“The heavens are unjust, all things are unequal, I grant you an opportunity for fairness…”

In a daze, Chen Fei heard a voice, and as his eyes snapped open, he found himself standing at the foot of a peak.

Many people and sea monsters were shouldering a black stone as they climbed upward..
