Hail the King

Chapter 953 - One Day in Heaven, One Year on Land

Chapter 953: One Day in Heaven, One Year on Land (Part One)

Fei didn’t dare to hesitate at all. Like a flash of lightning, he dashed toward the direction that the noise had come from.

After quickly passing more than 20 giant stone eggs, Fei finally saw the Undead Mage, and his heart that was in his throat went back down into his chest. Nothing terrifying happened; the Undead Mage only gasped since he made a discovery.

“Quickly look at this...” The Undead Mage beckoned at Fei and pointed at a giant stone egg that had a diameter of about 26 kilometers.

Fei looked in the direction that Hazel Bank was pointing at, and his pupils instantly contracted in the next moment.

“The seal is broken...”

This giant stone egg looked to be intact, but a crack that was more than one kilometer long and 100 meters wide appeared on the bottom. The black crack looked like a giant mouth that had a mocking smile, and a dark-red gale was blowing out of it, creating loud whistling noises. On the edge of the crack, pieces of broken strands of red chains fluttered in the wind.

Different from other stone eggs that had life energy emitting from them, this giant stone egg was silent and dead without any movement inside. Like an egg that already gave birth to a chicken, it looked complete but only had a shell on the outside.

Fei and Hazel Bank looked at each other, and their hearts sunk.

Without question, the demon of Hell that was sealed inside this giant stone egg already escaped.

It meant that a terrifying demon from the Mythical Era had now escaped to the Azeroth Continent, and no one knew where it was hiding. Now, it must be spectating the situation with humans while trying to recover its strength. Once the opportunity appeared, it was going to create a limitless blood storm on the continent.

The tragedy of humans could be predicted by now.

Fei thought back to the combat between him and Dark Demonic Armor Basturk. The terrifying force that dashed out of the Death God Sickle and that streak of black flame might be this demon that had escaped. Unfortunately, Fei wasn’t able to eliminate it before it recovered its strength.

“Hazel, you can guard the outside; I will go inside and take a look.” Fei thought for a bit and made the decision.

“This...” The Undead Mage looked hesitant, and he said worryingly, “Don’t do that. This place looks evil and extremely dangerous. Once inside, if there...”

This man didn’t finish his words, but Fei already knew what he wanted to say.

“That is fine.” Fei emitted his spirit energy and scanned inside. After not detecting any danger, he smiled and said, “I’m confident in this.”

“Ok then, but just be careful. If there is anything wrong, get out of it right away.”

Fei lightly nodded and instantly dashed into the giant stone egg through the sizeable black crack.

...

“Terrifying! The pressure inside this stone egg is thousands of times stronger compared to the mysterious sealed space!”

As soon as Fei entered, he sensed the thick darkness that couldn’t be diluted rushing toward him. Then, as if his body were pressed down by a massive rock that weighed more than a million kilograms, his body turned stiff. If he didn’t instantly use the Barbarian’s Anti-Mage Realm, he could have been severely injured by this pressure.

Before he could get a good look at the structure of the inside of the stone egg, he suddenly felt like he was passing through a spatial and temporal portal. Then, the space around him brightened, and he was inside another mysterious space. The darkness and stone walls that he was expecting didn’t appear. When he looked up, he saw the bright sun and beautiful clouds, and the wind was fluttering his hair. Then, he looked down and glanced around, seeing that he was now inside a boundless white desert.

“This is... a mystical small world?” Fei frowned and thought to himself.

It turned out that this stone egg wasn’t as simple as it looked from the outside. On the inside, there was a mysterious space; it was probably created by a powerful master using a supreme secret technique.

However, this world wasn’t that complete; it was more like a low-quality knockoff product.

Except for the boundless desert, Fei couldn’t see anything else; there was no plants or other lifeforms.

The good thing was that Fei was now a demi-god, and he had his own realm. Therefore, even though the laws inside this small world was completely different from the outside world, and natural elements didn’t exist here, Fei could still use the power of his realm to fly around.

After half an hour of searching, Fei finally decided to give up after he got nothing out of the search.

This was a very basic world, and it was like a realistic illusion array. Whenever Fei flew out more than one kilometer, he would be teleported back to the original spot. In a sense, this small world was only about one kilometer around where Fei first appeared. When Fei passed this limit, he got teleported back to the original spot by the laws of this place.

“This is indeed a natural prison; all the laws in this world are designed for imprisoning someone here. Also, since there are no natural elements in this place, anyone living here couldn’t cultivate at all. Even if a genius cultivated in this space for millions of years, no progression would be gained.”

The simple scene of the white desert was the only thing that a person could see in here. If a person stayed here long enough, they would experience mental breakdowns.

Fei looked up at the sky and noticed that there was a black crack which was about 1,000 meters long; it should be the crack that he saw from the outside and the only exit of this world.

After searching around once more and obtaining nothing, Fei dashed toward the sky.

Then, he experienced the same sensation of passing through a spatial and temporal portal, and the terrifying pressure persisted. Then, the scene before him flashed, and he finally went out.

Hazel Bank, who had been guarding this place, was elated when he saw Fei, and he rushed over before carefully observing the king. After seeing that everything was fine, he said worryingly, “You finally came out. If you had stayed in there a bit longer, I would have entered to find you. I was anxious.”

Fei was confused. “I only stayed there for about one hour; why are you so anxious?”

The smile on Hazel Bank’s face froze, and he asked, “What did you say? How long?”

“Only one hour.” Fei was confused, but his intuition told him that something was off as well.

“However, I have waited for you out here for a day.” Hazel Bank’s expression told Fei that the Undead Mage wasn’t joking.

“One day?” Fei was shocked. “Could it be... the speed of time is different in the small world inside the stone egg compared to the outside world?”

This was just like the famous Chinese saying of ‘one day in Heaven is one year on land’.
