Chapter 395: Super Perception State

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the dark forest world.

The battle that had lasted for several hours finally ended. The earthquake that had swept through the entire world also began to weaken, and the entire world slowly fell silent.

However, the effects were not over yet. The sky was dyed gray by the yellow sand. A terrifying sandstorm formed in some areas, and wherever it passed, everything in its path was uprooted.

If not for the fact that all the living creatures in the world had already fallen asleep under the control of the mushroom that covered the sky, a large migration would have been inevitable.

When the spiritual figure returned to the blue planet with the transparent mark,

Chen Yiming heaved a sigh of relief. “With the spiritual figure staying on the blue planet, I can escape whenever I want with just a thought.”

He had never felt so relaxed from his mind to his body.

He felt that his physical condition had never been better. It was as if the invisible shackles on his body had been broken, and he could enter a special combat state at any time.

“Let’s call it the crazy demon state!”

Chen Yiming casually came up with a name for himself in this state. It meant that he didn’t have to worry about getting injured or dying. He didn’t have to worry about anything else, and could just fight to his heart’s content.

Not long after.

Chen Yiming turned his attention back to the foundation base.

“The terrifying creatures took away one of the foundation bases which is equivalent to taking away a fifth of the world’s core, but the dark forest world isn’t affected much. What if I take away another foundation base?”

With this question in mind, he arrived in front of the foundation base in the spring and grabbed it. Although his five fingers were far from completely covering it, with the help of an invisible force, his entire hand seemed to be tightly glued to it.

“Rise!”

With a low shout, the muscles in his arms exploded. He suddenly exerted strength in his five fingers and used his physical strength to pull it out.

“Now that I’ve unleashed my full strength, I can fight against the power of the world mastered by someone at the level of the demon god. Even with just my physical strength, it should be more than enough to destroy an opponent at the fusion realm.”

“However, I need to use about 90% of my physical strength to pull out the foundation base from its fixed position. If it were the terrifying creatures from this world, one or two of them might not be able to do anything to the foundation base.”

Chen Yiming instantly understood why this foundation base refined from the core of the world was still left in its place even though it was in the devil’s den.

Not only were they worried that there would be a trap, but it would not be easy to take it away.

In the next moment,

cracks suddenly appeared in the space at the edge of the formation. It was as if the world had come alive. A pair of eyes were staring at Chen Yiming, its gaze filled with warning, threat, and intimidation.

It was as if Chen Yiming insisting on removing the foundation base, would cause a huge disaster that would not give him a chance to leave the dark forest world.

“Does this world itself have a form of consciousness?”

Chen Yiming didn’t panic at all. Instead, he thought to himself, “Could this be the difference between this world and the blue planet? Is this why one world has a good cultivation environment, while the other world is essentially a cultivation desert?”

Immediately after, he forcefully pulled out the foundation base.

At this moment, the hole in the source of the spring collapsed like a spiderweb. A distorted hole appeared in front of Chen Yiming.

“This is?”

Chen Yiming instinctively activated the special perception ability of his Space Anchor talent.

A faint ripple spread out from Chen Yiming. Wherever the ripple passed, the world turned gray and transparent.

He temporarily called this special perception ability “Super Perception”. Using his spiritual power as the foundation, not only did it have a large range, but it could also block most interference.

Other than the fact that he could throw a space anchor within the range of his perception, most of the interference caused by the space-travel fluctuations that did not belong to his body were blocked off and could be easily detected by him.

Chen Yiming controlled a space anchor from within his body and threw it into the distorted hole.

“Splash!”

The space-travel anchor plunged into a watery environment.

Immediately after, the scenery along the way was all slightly gray and transparent. Chen Yiming couldn’t see the true situation behind the distorted hole.

However, through the space anchor, he could see a small area around it. He was sure that behind the distorted hole was a watery environment, but he could not get any more information.

At this moment, the distorted hole quickly disappeared, as if there was nothing special about it. The location became the same as its surroundings.

“So the distorted hole is equivalent to a space-travel passage. It has shortened the actual distance by an unknown amount. After the distorted hole disappeared, the space anchor was too far away for me to sense it at all.”

Even with Chen Yiming’s enhanced perception range, he had completely lost track of the space-travel anchor.

Just as he was about to retrieve the space anchor that was thrown to an unknown area, an idea appeared:

“There are a total of three space anchors. One is placed on the spiritual figure, and one of the other two seems to be left in that mysterious place. Leaving one space anchor with me to help in battle is enough.”

In the end, Chen Yiming didn’t choose to retrieve the space anchor.

After Chen Yiming pulled out the foundation base, the dark forest world calmed down for a while. Then, an invisible tremor rang out.

“Heaven’s Wrath?”

“Are you going to punish me?”

Chen Yiming stood rooted to the ground and looked up at the sky.

One second.

10 seconds passed.

One minute passed.

Peace returned to the world, as if there had only been a few thunderclaps earlier.

“That’s it?”

Chen Yiming couldn’t help but raise his middle finger at the sky. However, this provocative action didn’t seem to cause the consciousness of the dark forest world to respond.

Soon, Chen Yiming retracted his gaze and leaped out of the pit, rushing towards the dire wolves’ leader.

There were still some changes to the dark forest world. The foundation bases that represented the core of the world had decreased from four to three. First of all, the space-travel passage connecting the ruins of the strange mountain village and the desert had indeed disappeared as expected.

If Chen Yiming had pulled out the foundation base before fighting the demon god, once he was defeated, he would have to face the pursuit of two dark creatures and the demon god.

In addition, a portion of the other space-travel passages between the two worlds had also dissipated naturally. These places had forever lost their connection.

…

At the top of a tall tree.

Not far away, waves were constantly crashing against the beach. The yellow sand in the sky had yet to completely dissipate, but it was filled with a deathly stillness. Occasionally, not a single bird could be seen.

“The sea in the dark forest world is the territory of the war weapon. Those two dark creatures sank to the bottom of the sea and escaped in the direction of the war weapon.”

The dire wolves’ leader revealed the reason for its failure in pursuit.

Chen Yiming nodded and said, “It took me longer to deal with the demon god than I thought. It’s normal for those two dark creatures to escape.”

The leader of the dire wolves heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed like Chen Yiming didn’t blame it for not continuing its pursuit.

Actually, the dire wolves’ leader was also feeling bitter. First of all, the bottom of the sea was not the most suitable environment for it. Its innate tracking ability was completely ineffective.

Secondly, if it approached the area where the war weapon was alone, the dire wolves’ leader would panic. What if the two dark creatures turned around and surrounded it or called for other reinforcements?

While Chen Yiming was being held back by the demon god, its tactic of using his power to bully others was no longer effective. If anything happened, its life would be in danger.

“Splash!”

The sea breeze blew over, carrying a fishy smell along with it.

Chen Yiming secretly entered a state of super perception. A faint ripple spread out from afar and swept across the entire dark forest world.

A few seconds later.

“There are no spatial fluctuations in the entire dark forest world. It seems that the complete war weapon hidden in the sea did not react to me taking away the foundation base.”

“Or if I can take away the foundation base, it will completely not be within the expectations of the supreme will in the black tide. It will destroy the other party’s plans again.”

Chen Yiming compared the demon god to Zhang Cheng after he had eaten the fruit of darkness.

Without a doubt, in terms of the level of control over the power of the world, the demon god had the inner world. The power of the world came from them, so their level of control was much higher.

As for the tornado that Zhang Cheng had condensed with the power of the world, the source of it was probably the dark fruit. Not only was it extremely rigid when used, but it also did not last long and had many weaknesses.

After coming back to his senses, he asked the dire wolves’ leader, “Hundreds of years ago, under the guidance of the goddess, you set up a world-level formation. It’s said that it destroyed the complete war weapon from that time. What happened after that?”

The dire wolves’ leader trembled when it heard this, as if it had recalled a memory that it instinctively did not want to remember. After a long time, it said,

“The black water overflowed, and demonic flames spread throughout the world. Most of the living creatures couldn’t escape the corrosion of the darkness, and the entire dark forest world fell dead silent.”

Chen Yiming pondered over this.

“It seems that war weapons are dangerous creatures to begin with. I can’t just destroy them on the blue planet. The black water and demonic flames are not things that the blue planet can withstand.”

He had wanted to try to turn the situation around and destroy the incomplete war weapon on the blue planet before the enemy made its next move.

Now that he heard the dire wolves’ leader’s words, he realized that the war weapons were pollutants to begin with. Even self-destruction could cause heavy damage to the world.

Now that he heard the wolf clan leader’s words, he realized that war weapons were pollutants to begin with. Even self-destruction could cause heavy damage to the world.

“Forget it, I’ll let that war weapon off for the time being. As long as the black tide doesn’t gather enough negative emotions, it should be very difficult for a complete war weapon to be created.”

In the end, Chen Yiming gave up on the idea of attacking immediately.

He was also very confident in this guess. Why did the black tide immediately attack him after being defeated? The negative emotions generated by the humans must be the key.

…

At the international video conference, the atmosphere was very heavy. The leaders of the various countries were anxiously waiting for the outcome.

The reason was that the last time they broke through the blockade, the terrifying creatures had used the foundation base to mobilize the lava from the planet’s core to hold back the blockade. Now that Chen Yiming was not on the blue planet, the humans had no way of dealing with it.

In just a few hours, the fleet of spaceships had already installed the most basic artificial environment system. The basic conditions for taking off had been met.

However, in essence, it was just a shell made from the advanced materials from the black tide together with the artificial environment system. There was no time to install all the other equipment. Only after confirming that Chen Yiming had died in battle would they take the huge risk to break out of the encirclement.

At this moment, a spiritual will connected to the video conference. It was the spiritual figure that represented Chen Yiming.

“He’s fine!”

“He’s back safe!”

“God bless humanity!”

“A miracle has really happened again!”

Before the spiritual figure could speak, there was a commotion in the video conference.

The leaders of the various countries finally heaved a sigh of relief. They didn’t dare to imagine how decisive they would be if the news of Chen Yiming’s death reached them.

Perhaps, once the news was made public, the speed at which things would collapse would be faster than expected, and the space plan might not even be able to continue.

Not long after.

The spiritual figure reported that he was safe to the people in the video conference and quickly disconnected.

It was enough for the higher-ups to know that he was the winner of the second round of attacks. The humans only needed to steadily push forward with the space plan.

…

In the dark forest world.

Chen Yiming sent the dire wolves’ leader away and asked it to find a space-travel passage to return to the blue planet.

Whether he was facing a complete war weapon, the mushroom that had fallen from the sky, or the arrival of a terrifying existence,

Chen Yiming’s space anchor talent could only allow him to teleport his main body away. If anything happened to the dire wolves’ leader, he might not be able to save it.

After the dire wolves’ leader left, Chen Yiming turned to look at the big mushroom in the middle of the dark forest world. He decided to put aside the matter of finding the third foundation base for the time being, hoping to confuse the consciousness behind the black tide.

It was difficult not to notice the huge mushroom that covered the sky. It was still unknown what level it was at, but in terms of size, it was unique in the entire world.

Even from afar, one could see that it was much taller than the tallest mountain. Most of it was above the clouds.

“That big mushroom seems to have a transparent thread hanging down from its folds?”

Through the reflection of light, Chen Yiming vaguely saw something special about the huge mushroom. He suddenly thought of the information that the spiritual figure had sent back from the video conference.

“The big mushroom emitted a special smell that made all the living creatures in the dark forest world fall asleep. Then, they would have nightmares that they could not wake up from.”

Chen Yiming decided to find a creature that was sleeping and was not at the terrifying level of the fusion realm. It would be best if it was at the level of the inscription realm. He would personally investigate the situation.

At this moment, a few hundred kilometers away, the king of the forest, a huge beast, was lying in a cave. Its two arms and sharp claws were abnormally thick compared to its lower limbs and legs. Its head was shaped like a hippopotamus, but it had two long fangs.

A space anchor came from the air and landed in the cave.

In the next moment, a figure appeared in the cave.

“The trajectory of moving towards the space anchor is not the distance in the real world. I can teleport almost anywhere within the range of my super perception. It’s indeed very convenient for traveling,”

Chen Yiming remarked as he surveyed the cave.

In front of him was a sleeping beast. Its facial muscles twitched from time to time, and its limbs were also trembling.

Then, Chen Yiming walked over and kicked the huge beast that was on its side until it was sleeping on its stomach.

The beast did not show any signs of waking up, but its entire body was twitching even more violently, as if this kick had worsened its nightmare.

“I don’t see any transparent lines connecting them! Could I be wrong?”

Chen Yiming swept his gaze across the area and didn’t notice any of the transparent threads that were hanging from the mushroom’s folds.

Because the transparent threads were physical threads, he did not think too much about it at the spiritual level, even though the purpose of the black tide’s invasion was to harvest the negative emotions on the spiritual level.

Soon, Chen Yiming realized something. He walked over and placed his hand between the beast’s eyebrows. A portion of his consciousness forcefully entered the beast’s spiritual world.

“Its spiritual world has been completely covered by the black aura.”

A humanoid consciousness landed on the ground. The black aura was repelled by an invisible force, revealing the giant beast consciousness surrounded by the black aura.

The beast’s consciousness had already been completely corroded by the black aura, and a transparent thread pierced through it and disappeared into the distance.

Chen Yiming’s consciousness arrived beside the beast’s consciousness. He reached out and plucked at the transparent thread on its back. The beast’s consciousness started to struggle, as if it was experiencing a great horror in its dream.

“The end of the transparent thread is connected to the void, which involves space-manipulation abilities. Can I use the space anchor to investigate the situation caused by the large mushroom?”

Giving it a shot, he immediately entered a state of super perception.

A faint ripple spread out. It swept past the end of the transparent thread, and as expected, there was a slight spatial fluctuation there.

Chen Yiming’s gaze searched for similar spatial fluctuations in the transparent gray sky.

When one paid special attention to these subtle spatial fluctuations, they would see many similar situations in the super perception state. They were all in the same situation as the giant beasts.

Not long after, he locked onto the location with the greatest spatial fluctuations.

“That should be the place where the transparent threads gather, the main body of the big mushroom.”

Chen Yiming controlled the space anchor and threw it at his target. After doing this, he secretly became vigilant and prepared for the possible collision of wills.

Time quickly passed by.

It was unknown if he was lucky or if the big mushroom did not notice that someone had secretly done something to its body. In short, nothing happened after waiting for more than a minute.

Then, Chen Yiming boldly used the space anchor to check the situation in the small area around it.

“A box? A coffin?”

He saw half of a long black box and the pattern on the surface of the box.

The pattern was formed by complicated patterns, and it emitted a faint light. Even from afar, one could feel that it was not ordinary. It was definitely an important item for the huge mushroom.

Chen Yiming guessed that the huge mushroom was leading some terrifying existence to this place. Therefore, the moment he saw the box, he thought of a coffin.

“The field of view provided by the space anchor is limited. I wonder how many such coffins there are?”

“After the big mushroom controlled the creatures in the dark forest world to fall into a deep sleep, it hasn’t made any further moves. Is it trying to accumulate more power to ensure that it can kill me in one go?”

At the thought of this, Chen Yiming had the urge to enter the mushroom through the space anchor and destroy the enemy’s plan in advance.

After all, the black tide came from outer space. His performance was drawing more and more attention, and even the demon god who had mastered the power of the world had failed. This might not be a good thing.

Once the other party accumulated strength to a level that Chen Yiming couldn’t deal with, he wouldn’t be afraid for himself since he had the Space Anchor talent. However, the first thing he would be worried about would be the incomplete space plan.
