Chapter 127: Chapter 125: First Arrival at Iron Chain Demon Domain, Love Around the Corner! (First Additional Chapter)

Fire Attribute had always been one of the most favored attributes among the human race martial artists because of its explosive nature, which provided great burst power and considerable burning damage, even at low levels.

However, most people ignored the fact that the Fire Attribute True Force could easily cause side effects such as irritability and anger in its users.

In the face of an encroaching enemy army, combat strength was the decisive factor for survival, and being alive was the top priority.

It was rumored in the Iron Chain Demon Domain that Fire Attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures grew in patches.

Just by discovering one "rich mine", one could become wealthy overnight!

Of course, the Iron Chain Demons were no fools—they naturally harvested these treasures to strengthen themselves.

The terrain within the Iron Chain Demon Domain was incredibly complex, riddled with valleys and ravines.

Finding where the heavenly materials and earthly treasures grew was not easy, but it was common to "turn a corner, fall in love," only to be yanked away by a hook-shaped iron chain.

...

After making a round in the small town and stocking up on common supplies such as disposable gas masks,

and, with the regret of not picking up an undusted True Artifact, Chu Feng boarded the dedicated ride to the Iron Chain Demon Domain—

a gasoline-powered tricycle.

The elderly man in town, wearing a smoke-blackened gas mask around his neck wrapped in a thick hemp scarf, and gloved with heavy leather, had himself wrapped up tightly.

These elderly individuals who stayed behind to earn money were not martial artists and could not withstand the high temperatures and pollution of the mining area.

Martial artists, protected by True Force, didn’t need to be as prepared for battle as they did.

Like Chu Feng, whose neck and hands were exposed to the air, except for occasional heat and irritation, he wasn’t much affected.

The elder turned his head, his aged voice chuckling, "Young man, take your seat, we are setting off."

He added, "It’s 1000 bucks for a single trip!"

Chu Feng rolled his eyes behind the mask, "I know, old man, let’s go!"

bucks could afford a peasant family a week of lavish eating and drinking outside!

...

The air was filled with greyish fluff and faint smoke, and even through the gas mask, the increasing stench of burning was detectable.

The lenses on the mask needed wiping from time to time, else they quickly hindered the view.

They jolted along until they were a kilometer from the mining area, where they could faintly see the shadowy figures of some small grey-black buildings.

These were the original buildings of the mining area, abandoned after the arrival of the Iron Chain Demon Domain, and later requisitioned by the Demon Extermination Army as a repair base.

Upon arriving, the elder stopped the tricycle, saying, "We’ve arrived, young man. We can’t go further, gotta walk from here!"

Chu Feng nodded, pulled out ten bills from his pocket, stuffed them into the old man’s hand, and then jumped off the tricycle and headed straight inside.

The smell was too foul here; he didn’t want to speak at all.

Without minding the old man’s "putt-putt-putt" turning around and leaving, he walked a few hundred meters and saw a mobile roadblock, suddenly out of the mist, a loud shout rang out:

"Military zone, entry without permission prohibited! What are you here for?"

From a nearby building, a figure in a military uniform with a masked, robust physique emerged, radiating immense presence.

’Zhou Tian Realm!’ Chu Feng’s eyes narrowed.

It was no surprise to think that living in this harsh environment year-round could only be managed by martial artists of the Zhou Tian Realm or above, who had completely sealed the leakage of energy and had an internal cycle of their own.

He raised the identity proof distributed at the window and called out loudly, "Yan University student, here on a mission!"

The robust figure came forward, took the proof, flipped through it, and his deep voice carried a hint of surprise as he chuckled, "A freshman this year?

"Good lad, you just finished exams not long ago, right? How come you’re already on a mission?"

Chu Feng took off his mask briefly to show his face before putting it back on, and muttered with a stifled laugh, "I want to break through my realm, came to gather some heavenly materials and earthly treasures!"

"This gathering you speak of sounds impressive, like claiming the domain as your own backyard! This is the kind of dominance a human race martial artist should have!"

The sturdy officer admired, swept him with his spiritual power lightly, "You’re only 18, and you’re about to break through to Innate?

"How I wish my son was as promising as you, then I wouldn’t have to worry so much!"

Chu Feng chuckled, not picking up the conversation.

After checking the information terminal and confirming Chu Feng’s identity, the officer stood at attention and saluted:

"Identification confirmed, Classmate Chu, please go ahead. Walk another mile forward, and you will reach the entrance."

He added, "Your main priority is to preserve your own life. It doesn’t matter if you can’t obtain the materials; the most important thing is to come out alive!"

"It would be a great pity if a young talent like you were to get trapped inside!"

Chu Feng felt a warmth in his heart and responded, "Thank you, uncle. Don’t worry, I’ll turn and run at the first sign of danger!"

The officer nodded in satisfaction.

...

Walking inside the base, Chu Feng felt the ground beneath his feet scorching hot, yet the Phoenix True Force inside him became extremely lively.

It seemed that the Phoenix True Force really enjoyed this kind of fiery environment, as the vortex of True Force in his Dantian spun faster.

At the same time, he had a premonition that if he channeled his True Force into the Tang Sword now, a swing of his arm would greatly increase its power!

’This environment is very suitable for martial artists with the Fire Attribute; my strength has increased by at least twenty percent.

’It is said that the concentration of Fire Elemental energy in the Demon Realm is even higher, making the Fire Attribute True Force even more lethal!

’But this is also a huge limitation; the Iron Chain Demons living there are all of the singular Fire Attribute Demon Clan.

’The enhancement of the environment for them is no less significant than it is for me!

’And other attribute martial artists who come here might find their strength greatly suppressed.

’Water attribute martial artists, in particular, might not even be able to output their True Force normally.

’Wood attribute users might fare even worse, as a careless move could lead to their True Force igniting, setting themselves ablaze...’

He couldn’t help but think of the Chaos Scripture.

If this cultivation technique could be widely spread, it would undoubtedly mitigate most environmental suppressions against martial artists.

Setting aside the rate of cultivation, if martial artists could exert their full strength anywhere, the overall strength of the Human Race would also greatly increase.

At least they wouldn’t hesitate to enter domains with conflicting attributes due to suppression of their power.

Places like the Blood Tree Demon Realm, although of the Wood Attribute, do not exhibit outward suppression on other attributes, are too rare.’

...

After passing through three guard posts and undergoing at least six checks, Chu Feng stood before the gateway into the Demon Realm.

What they called a gateway looked more like a mirror rippling with water waves, through which one could faintly see the landscape of mountains emitting a red glow.

Next to it, a warrior explained: "Just walk straight in, and you’ll be in the Iron Chain Demon Domain.

"You should have seen the relevant information when you accepted the mission. The exact location where you appear in the Iron Chain Demon Domain is not very fixed.

"You could appear anywhere within a hundred-kilometer radius around the stronghold of the Demon Realm.

"Generally, it won’t be too far off, at most about ten kilometers.

"If it’s close to the stronghold, that’s fine; if it’s far, you might encounter members of the Iron Chain Demon Clan.

"So, be prepared for battle!"

"When you encounter enemies, be mindful of traps and prioritize killing the enemy at the first opportunity!

"If you let an enemy escape unintentionally, you must immediately move away, or you might encounter encirclement by multiple squads!"

Chu Feng listened carefully to the warrior’s advice, then nodded and said, "Understood, then I’m off."

The soldiers around him, swords drawn and guns raised aimed at the entrance, suddenly shouted in unison, "Smash the demons, and return safely!"

Chu Feng shouted back with equal vigor, "May martial arts prosper, long live the Human Race!"

With that, he clenched the handle of his Tang Sword and plunged into the portal of the Iron Chain Demon Domain!

...

In a remote valley, Chu Feng’s figure suddenly appeared.

He shook his head to shake off the dizziness brought by the teleportation, looked up, and was startled!

Right in front of him, less than five meters away, a figure, covered in iron chains and gaunt, was crouched over, picking something up from the ground.

The figure seemed to have heard a noise and turned to look, immediately locking eyes with Chu Feng.

The two stared at each other.
