Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Realm Suppression

Shi Feng’s figure slowly ascended along the Blood-colored Peak. Although the peak was eerie and mysterious, as Shi Feng ascended, there didn’t seem to be anything particularly noticeable about it. It largely resembled the other mountains within this space; the base was composed of blood-colored cliffs, which gradually converged into dense trees and other blood-colored vegetation, forming a thick, blood-colored jungle.

"Right! Life!" As Shi Feng continued to rise, he suddenly realized that, unlike the other mountains, this dense jungle had no indication of any living being’s presence.

"Hmm?" As Shi Feng reached halfway up the mountain, a sudden immense pressure descended from above. Shi Feng looked up and saw the towering blood-colored stone stele at the peak, which, like a giant, suddenly flashed a blood-colored light. Under this blood light, Shi Feng suddenly felt, that at this moment, the strength within his body seemed to be rapidly depleting.

"What’s going on?"

"What’s going on?"

As his strength depleted, both Shi Feng and the Sacred Flame within him were greatly alarmed. Then, from above, Shi Feng sensed a powerful oppressiveness approaching, and under its force, he was utterly helpless, as if an invisible giant hand were forming in the air, forcefully slapping down towards his body.

Instantly, Shi Feng felt a sharp pain envelop his entire body, losing control as if a bird struck down by a giant hand, his body hurtled diagonally downwards towards the blood-colored jungle amidst the Blood-colored Peaks.

At this moment, around the Blood-colored Peak, a spectacular scene unfolded in the void. Numerous Martial Artists, rushing towards the blood-colored summit, suddenly felt the same overpowering force from above just like Shi Feng had, and one by one, under that invisible force, they were struck, echoing through the void with cries of pain and shock!

"What’s happening? My strength is draining away! Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

The painful wails resonated continuously through the void, and bodies fell just like Shi Feng had, smacked into the Blood-colored Peak, descending into the blood-colored jungle.

Meanwhile, some Martial Artists who had come from afar sensed something was wrong upon hearing the tortured screams, quickly turned around, and hurriedly flew away to escape, realizing that although treasures and cultivation techniques were enticing, their lives were far more important. What’s more, these treasures and techniques were nebulous and might not even exist.

Others, less superstitious, filled with hope, believed that the Heavenly Earth Strange Treasures and Supreme Techniques were choosing them, thus flinging away the other Martial Artists.

However, they saw themselves as the main characters of this world, the future overlords, but soon found out that the heavens remain just. They, too, just like the previous Martial Artists, felt their internal strength rapidly deplete, and ultimately, they too let out a cry of pain as their bodies were smacked down by that invisible force, falling towards the blood-colored jungle.

There were also Martial Artists who rushed directly into the Blood-colored Peak from below, soon prompting cries of alarm, "My! The power within my body is rapidly draining."

Unsurprisingly, any Martial Artist who was smashed into the Blood-colored Peak or entered voluntarily, along with any Flying Demon Beast, was experiencing a rapid loss of power.

At this moment, Shi Feng felt a burning pain on his back as his body hurtled toward the Blood-colored Jungle. Suddenly, his unstable form quickly flipped in the Void, stabilizing midair and finally landed on the top of a blood-colored tree.

However, Shi Feng’s face looked extremely grim. Even within him, the Sacred Flame was wailing, "Ahhhh! What’s going on! My power, my power is draining! It’s turned into useless Second-stage Wasteful Fire."

Indeed, Shi Feng’s power had plummeted from the One-star Martial Sect Realm all the way down to the One-star Martial Master Realm. No matter how much Heavenly Earth Yuan Qi he absorbed to regain his strength, it would immediately drain away once inside his body.

"Damn, this is really bizarre!" Shi Feng muttered to himself, "It seems my power is being suppressed by this space, leaving me only with Two-star Martial Master Realm energy."

Afterward, Shi Feng checked his physical condition and then, along with the Sacred Flame, he let out a sigh of relief, "That’s a relief!"

Shi Feng realized that at this moment, only his realm was being suppressed; in fact, the realm was still there, it should return to normal once he leaves this place, depending on sufficient Primordial Stone or Power of Death, and blood energy.

However, for now, he could only confront the tragic fate of becoming a One-star Junior Martial Master. Shi Feng further discovered that not only was his Martial Arts Realm being suppressed, but his physical body and his Soul Power were also heavily constrained—both were only at the level of Second-stage Master-level.

Taking out the Bloodthirsty Sword and the Blood-colored Battle Armor, Shi Feng grimaced and shook his head again, murmuring, "This peak seems to be shrouded by some mysterious and eerie Array, crushing me completely."

Below at the base was a surging Blood Sea. Jumping down with his current strength, Shi Feng believed, not to mention the prowess of the Blood Sea itself, but if a blood-colored Sea Beast appeared from the waters, his life would be in imminent danger. It was too risky; it seemed he could only head to the top of the peak to check the Blood-colored Stone Stele.

Subsequently, Shi Feng leaped down from the top of the blood-colored tree, entering the Blood-colored Jungle.

Shi Feng also considered another issue: currently, his realm was suppressed. Therefore, other Martial Artists who came to this peak should be in the same situation. Until he reached halfway up the peak, he didn’t sense any living beings, which meant, if he didn’t encounter any Array on his way to the halfway point, he should still be relatively safe.

Shi Feng thought of something else: initially his ascent was blocked by a powerful force that then threw him into this peak. If now he were to climb up the mountain toward the Blood-colored Stone Stele, he wondered if he would again encounter that formidable blocking force.

Regardless, there was no other option but to head toward the summit; that was his only path forward.

"Boom!" Just as Shi Feng hadn’t walked far through this Blood-colored Jungle, suddenly a loud blast rang out. "Boom," and two figures harshly smashed down right in front of Shi Feng’s feet, stopping him in his tracks. It was a young Martial Artist and a white tiger with wings. The original realm of this Martial Artist should have been Three-star Martial King, and the demon beast, a Third-stage Level Four. But now, both the person and the demon beast were suppressed to the same realm as Shi Feng, the One-star Martial Master Realm.

Seeing this somewhat disheveled Martial Artist, Shi Feng internally noted that his assumption was correct; the realm of any living being entering this space was suppressed to Second-stage Martial Master-level.
