BTTH: Breaking The Simulation

The Black Corner Region is a highly unique place, often regarded as the most chaotic area on the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Due to its unique geographical location, surrounded by dozens of nations of varying sizes, many powerful fugitives often end up here. This has established the most brutal rule in the region: strength reigns supreme!

Simply put, the Black Corner Region is a paradise for the strong and a hell for the weak.

As long as you're strong enough, even killing someone in the street won't invite trouble.

Although chaotic, the Black Corner Region has its advantages, the most significant being its mix of people from all walks of life, offering unimaginable opportunities.

Many stolen goods obtained through murder and robbery, difficult to sell elsewhere, are commonplace here.

Thus, it's not uncommon to see high-level techniques, Dou Qi skills, and pills in the major auction houses of the Black-Corner Region.

After over half a month of travel, Xiao Feng and his group finally reached the outskirts of the Black Corner Region.

Usually, with the speed of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, it would take less than a day to travel from the Jia Ma Empire to the Black Corner Region.

However, several small nations lay between the Jia Ma Empire and the Black Corner Region, and Xiao Feng and his companions spent a few days leisurely touring those countries.

During those days of sightseeing with Little Doctor Immortal and the others, Xiao Feng used his mind-reading ability and foresight to obtain many valuable treasures successfully.

Additionally, Xiao Feng remembered his plan to create a new alias. While travelling through the small nations, under the identity of "Judge of the Underworld," he killed numerous notorious nobles.

Among these nobles, the highest-ranking were the princes and dukes of the small nations.

Seeing that the "Judge of the Underworld" dared to kill even princes and dukes, other corrupt officials, wealthy merchants, and aristocrats naturally became fearful, worrying that he might come for them.

At first, Xiao Feng had to confront his targets personally, but as the fame of the "Judge of the Underworld" spread, he sensed a sharp increase in the number of nightmare light spots, allowing him to kill directly within dreams.

Over the past half-month, Xiao Feng used his Nightmare Power to enter the dreams of his targets and successfully eliminated more than 200 notorious criminals.

Though 200 may sound like a lot, when spread across the hundreds of cities in those countries, it didn't seem like much at all.

Xiao Feng could have killed even more villains in their dreams, but doing so would have been wasteful—he needed to absorb their fear to strengthen his soul power!

Thus, Xiao Feng set a killing standard for himself: when killing in dreams, he would only target the most heinous criminals.

After eliminating over 200 such villains, Xiao Feng's merit points surged by more than four million, with each villain contributing around 20,000 merit points.

To put it in perspective, saving an ordinary person only earns Xiao Feng less than 100 merit points, illustrating just how much evil those people had committed—it was no injustice to kill them.

After earning enough merit points, the first thing Xiao Feng did was spend 200,000 points to buy Phoenix Blood from the system store.

As expected, when Xiao Feng merged the Phoenix Blood into his body, his [Titan Bloodline] forcibly devoured it.

After devouring the Phoenix Blood, Xiao Feng's [Titan Bloodline] not only extended his lifespan by several thousand years but also greatly enhanced his power when transformed into a Flame Titan.

Previously, the [Titan Bloodline] could only unleash the strength of a five-star Dou Ancestor, but now it could reach the level of an eight-star Dou Ancestor.

While an eight-star Dou Ancestor may not be invincible in the Black Corner Region, few would dare provoke him.

...

Black Plains

"We've finally arrived."

Looking at the vast black plains expanding before him, Xiao Feng smiled faintly.

The Black Plains are the gateway to the Black Corner Region. Once travellers cross these plains, they officially enter the region.

Normally, newcomers like Xiao Feng and his group would first obtain a detailed map.

After all, the greatest danger of the Black Plains is the occasional appearance of black storms, which could easily cause travellers to lose their way and eventually collapse from exhaustion.

However, Xiao Feng's group didn't need to go through such trouble, as the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, previously enslaved by Qing Lin, had travelled through the Black Corner Region before and could act as a temporary guide.

Led by the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, Xiao Feng and his companions quickly crossed the Black Plains and arrived at the nearest human city—Black Mark City!

According to the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, the Black Corner Region contains many human cities and tribes.

Small and medium-sized tribes, often with just hundreds or thousands of people, rarely contain valuable treasures.

Human cities, on the other hand, are different. Their population usually starts in the tens of thousands.

Establishing a city in the Black-Corner Region is no small feat; at least a Dou Emperor (Battle Emperor) level expert is required to hold the city.

In a place like the Black Corner Region, where strength is everything, if the founder of a city isn't powerful enough, even if the city is built, it will likely end up being taken over by someone else.

As the saying goes: "When my neighbour hoards food, I hoard guns. My neighbour is my food supply!"

The city they were heading toward, Black Mark City, was a famous large city in the Black Corner Region, under the control of the Eight Gates.

The Eight Gates is an established force in the Black Corner Region. Its leader, Yuan Yi, is highly skilled and ranks tenth on the Black List.

The Black List is a unique ranking of influential individuals in the Black Corner Region. To be in the top ten, one must have at least Dou Emperor-level strength.

The top three on the Black List are all at the peak of Dou Emperor, on the verge of breaking through to Dou Ancestor.

Of course, the Black List only covers known powerhouses. Many stronger individuals, such as veteran Dou Ancestor experts, are hidden and not listed.

"That's Black Mark City ahead. It would be too flashy to fly in on White Fang."

Looking at the giant city made of black stone in the distance, Xiao Feng patted Qing Lin's head and said, "Have White Fang land on that hill. We'll walk into the city."

"Understood, Master."

Nestled in Xiao Feng's arms, Qing Lin obediently nodded and directed the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor to descend onto the nearby hill.

After Xiao Feng and his group dismounted, Qing Lin gently waved her hand, causing the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor to shrink down into a small black snake, no thicker than a thumb, and coil around her wrist like a jade bracelet.
