Chapter 326: Phantom Realm

The Bell Body of the Soul Suppressing Bell smashed down fiercely, landing on the back of the Pishacha Rakshasa Monkey with a boom like a ten-thousand-ton giant hammer.

The Pishacha Rakshasa Monkey let out a sharp shriek and disintegrated instantly.

Chen Fan did not fare well either; his Soul rippled violently and nearly collapsed.

Yet he remained invigorated; although this Rule Battle Soldier was ruined, it could still exert powerful effects when used as a weapon for combat within the Sea of Consciousness.

In the outside world, the moment the Pishacha Rakshasa Monkey dissipated, Amir clutched his head and revealed a look of pain.

But he was not angry; instead, his eyes revealed a look of deep greed.

"To think there is such a treasure in the Sea of Consciousness." His eyes lit up, and he sent his Soul out of his body, charging into Chen Fan's Sea of Consciousness.

The moment he appeared, a flame ten times more terrifying than the previous ghostly blue flame erupted from his palm.

Chen Fan made a prompt decision and blocked the front with the Bell Body of the Soul Suppressing Bell.

Under the scorching of such terrifying flames, the Bell Body of the Soul Suppressing Bell showed no signs of damage whatsoever.

Amir's eyes brightened even more: "Such a treasure is a total waste in the hands of a mediocrity like you! Once I kill you, this treasure will be mine."

"Soul Skill—Phantom Pain!" he whispered, and Chen Fan suddenly felt as if his Soul were being gnawed on by ten thousand insects.

But Chen Fan's willpower was terrifying; veins bulging, he endured the pain, grabbed the Bell Body of the Soul Suppressing Bell, and smashed it fiercely toward Amir.

Amir's Soul pushed his hands forward, and a transparent mental shield appeared, blocking the Soul Suppressing Bell.

Chen Fan swung the Bell Body of the Soul Suppressing Bell wildly; the transparent mental shield rippled, until on the fifth strike, it shattered with a boom.

Half of Amir's body was struck, and he was sent flying backward immediately.

"What a formidable treasure." Instead of being angry, Amir was delighted; a flame carrying the aura of death rose from beneath his feet, instantly covering Chen Fan's entire Sea of Consciousness.

"Kid, to be refined by my Underworld Flame, you can consider your death well-deserved."

The terrifying heat wave instantly ignited the entire Sea of Consciousness, which began to emit cracking sounds; it would likely collapse completely before long.

Chen Fan was burning with anxiety and could only drive the Bell Body of the Soul Suppressing Bell to attack Amir's Soul.

However, the opponent's speed was incredibly fast, like a ghost, and Chen Fan could not hit him at all.

"To think a Soul Ability User could be this terrifying." Chen Fan sighed in his heart; he felt the threat of death.

This was his first time dealing with such a bizarre Ability User, and he was even left without any power to fight back.

"If I can survive, I must find a way to learn a few Soul Skills," Chen Fan sighed internally.

He feared his situation today was dire.

Just at this moment, Amir, who had been constantly shifting positions, was suddenly startled, and his Soul instantly withdrew from Chen Fan's Sea of Consciousness.

In the outside world, Diana had woken up; she held her head with one hand and carried a Long Sword in the other as she walked toward Amir's physical body.

She had realized that Chen Fan was battling the opponent in the Sea of Consciousness, and seeing the pained expression on Chen Fan's face, she sensed something was wrong, so she endured the intense pain in her Soul to attack Amir's physical body.

Amir sensed the approaching murderous intent and decisively retreated from Chen Fan's Sea of Consciousness.

He opened his eyes, and a wave of Soul pressure was applied to Diana's Soul once again.

This time, Diana was prepared; she was an extremely intelligent person, and within her Sea of Consciousness, she held the bell clapper of the Soul Suppressing Bell in her arms to resist Amir's Soul pressure.

This move proved effective; Diana rushed to Amir's side and stabbed the Long Sword fiercely toward Amir's heart.

Amir realized something was wrong and hurriedly dodged; the Long Sword missed by an inch, grazing Amir's heart as it stabbed in.

Amir let out a miserable shriek, and his Soul emitted a powerful suction force that pulled Diana's Soul directly into his own Sea of Consciousness.

Diana was startled and hurriedly summoned the bell clapper of the Soul Suppressing Bell inside; she clutched the clapper tightly, staring nervously at the Soul of Amir before her.

She knew she was by no means a match for Amir, but the bell clapper in her arms was her only reliance.

"You actually have a treasure too?!" Amir could not help but be surprised.

But he then laughed out loud: "Yours seems to be part of the same set as his; if I kill you both, I might be able to reunite them. Heaven is truly helping me."

At this moment, Chen Fan felt a terrifying suction force acting upon his Soul; Chen Fan struggled desperately but to no avail.

His Soul was instantly pulled out of his body and cast into Amir's Sea of Consciousness.

Seeing this, Diana and Chen Fan could not help but be stunned.

And at this time, Amir shouted again: "Soul Art—Phantom Sea!"

The scene before Chen Fan changed abruptly; he found himself in the bedroom of his home in Qingcheng City.

Bang, bang, bang—a knock came at the door; Chen Fan frowned slightly, but still opened the door.

Reflected before his eyes was a face both familiar and strange.

"Mom." Chen Fan's throat moved, and he called out the word involuntarily.

Chen Fan felt a chill run down his spine; he knew very well that all of this was fake, but when he saw his mother, his heart instinctively wanted this scene to linger for a while longer.

"Xiao Fan, today your dad, your second uncle, your second aunt, and I are going to Yancheng to take care of some business. You take good care of Tongtong at home. Here is one hundred yuan for your food expenses today; don't spend it recklessly."

As Chen Mu spoke, she handed a hundred-yuan bill to Chen Fan; Chen Fan's hand stopped in mid-air, stunned for a moment.

This scene was so familiar; he had experienced it before—or rather, his predecessor had. Since he had soul-traversed into this world, his parents had long since passed away.

But the fusion of the two Souls had allowed him to inherit all the memories and emotions of his predecessor; he remembered clearly that his parents had died on this very day.

"Where is Dad?" Chen Fan's nose felt sore; he wanted to see that man one more time, he wanted to stop his parents from leaving today.

"Your dad went to the basement level to get the car," Chen Mu said, and Chen Fan rushed out instantly.

"You child, slow down." Seeing Chen Fan so urgent, Chen Mu did not know the reason.

Chen Fan rushed to the underground parking lot and saw his father from afar, that man who had always been kind.

But at this moment, he was having a verbal altercation with someone else.

Opposite him were a man and a woman, not very old, in their early thirties.

The man among them shoved Chen Fu, looking arrogant: "Do you know you scared my wife by honking? Do you know she is pregnant?"

Chen Fu apologized profusely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I saw you two weren't moving on the road, and I thought you hadn't noticed my car, so I just gave a light honk."

"Are you saying it's our fault?" The man looked fierce and grabbed Chen Fu by the collar.

This scene made Chen Fan furious; he felt his anger burning, and he casually grabbed the fire extinguisher by the wall and walked toward the man.

Just as the fire extinguisher in his hand was about to smash onto the man's head, his movements suddenly stopped.

He turned his body, looked at his father, and the next moment, the fire extinguisher smashed fiercely onto his father's head.
