Chapter 1955 The Fall of the Realm
Chen Fei appeared outside the arena of life and death, touched the light sphere, and at this moment the upper limit of the bet had reached 300,000 Immortal Mystic Crystals.
A few breaths later, on the life-or-death stage, Chen Fei's figure slowly solidified.
Opposite him was a demonic cultivator who had just achieved three consecutive victories and exuded a fierce aura.
Most of the spectators around were still there because they had just watched Chen Fei's last battle and had specially ordered information to notify them whenever Chen Fei was in battle.
Based on Chen Fei's performance in the last match, the three-game winning streak is just the beginning.
The demonic cultivator opposite him sensed the details of the crimson aura on Chen Fei's body and his expression changed drastically. However, once you've reached the arena of life and death, there's no such thing as admitting defeat.
You can either leave standing up or lying down.
As the ground of the arena trembled, the duel began!
Chen Fei did not use any weapons; he simply struck out with his palm.
Wherever the palm wind passed, space froze and the laws trembled. The surging demonic energy around the demon cultivator was easily torn apart like paper, and the protective demonic light shattered instantly!
"puff!"
The blood mist exploded!
The demonic cultivator, who appeared to be quite powerful to others, was severely injured by the unparalleled power contained in that palm strike.
Before he could react, Chen Fei struck out with his second palm, obliterating his soul and spirit!
Four-game winning streak!
The whole process was so fast that no one could react in time. Some spectators in the audience didn't even see how Chen Fei made his move before the battle was over.
Chen Fei collected the spoils and Origin Points expressionlessly, then vanished in a flash.
For him, dealing with an opponent who hadn't even reached the Xuan Yuan Dao Foundation was something he could easily crush with his own Earth Yuan Dao Foundation, which he had refined through the fusion of many characteristics.
The ensuing battle allowed those who were watching Chen Fei to witness a one-man show by Chen Fei alone.
Five consecutive victories. The opponent was a shadow demon who had cultivated a certain demonic art to its extreme, whose attacks were bizarre and vicious. His movements were like ghosts, and he could transform into billions of shadows to attack and kill.
However, under Chen Fei's Purple Extreme Divine Eye, his true form had nowhere to hide and was annihilated by the three Heaven-Cutting Sword Beams along with countless shadow clones.
With a six-game winning streak, a demonic cultivator specializing in the laws of fire can scorch the heavens and boil the seas with a wave of his hand, creating an endless fire domain.
Chen Fei activated the Returning Void Furnace, allowing all kinds of flames to engulf and refine him, nourishing his own body. Finally, he pierced through the core of the enemy's soul with a finger and shattered his body with a punch to win.
Seven consecutive victories. The opponent was a demonic cultivator who had cultivated part of the Earthly Dao Foundation. His physical body was incomparably strong, and his power was extremely domineering.
After exchanging several blows with him and experiencing the wonder of his power circulation, Chen Fei suddenly unleashed his power, reversing the tide of battle and the cycle of time. His combat power exploded instantly, and he shattered the immortal demon body into pieces with a single punch!
Eight consecutive victories. A bizarre demonic cultivator skilled in soul curses and dream invasions. His attacks are invisible and intangible, making them impossible to defend against.
However, Chen Fei's soul had been tempered by the tribulations of the Tribulation, and he was passively protected by the Furnace of Return to Nothingness. Furthermore, his Purple Extreme Divine Eye could see through illusions. All of the opponent's spells were like a gentle breeze on a mountain, unable to shake him in the slightest.
Instead, Chen Fei followed the cause-and-effect connection and used a single Law of Nothingness to annihilate the very source of his soul.
Their winning streak is unstoppable!
Every victory brings Chen Fei source points and abundant immortal crystals, and he also continuously accumulates immense fortune and combat experience.
Chen Fei's reputation also began to spread rapidly among certain circles of the Martial Arts Arena of the Myriad Realms.
When Chen Fei stepped onto the arena for the life-or-death battle, facing his ninth duel, his opponent's strength had clearly changed.
The opponent was a young demonic cultivator wearing dark gold demonic armor, with a cold face and pure black pupils. His aura was as condensed as an abyss, and standing there, he seemed to be a dark universe that devoured everything.
What's even more striking is that behind him, a demon god's image, completely black, with three heads and six arms, wielding various demonic weapons and exuding a terrifying aura, has solidified and merged perfectly with his own body, radiating a magnificent and flawless aura of unity!
A complete Xuan Yuan Dao Foundation!
Moreover, it is a top-tier demonic cultivation foundation known for its killing and destruction, the Asura Annihilation Foundation!
"It's the Black Asura Yan Cong! He actually came too!"
"Yan Cong is a true disciple of the Black Demon Palace from the Primordial Continent. He has already perfected the Asura Annihilation Dao Foundation and is said to have fought against a mid-stage fifteenth-level opponent without being defeated!"
"That mid-stage fifteenth-order cultivator was injured, but the power of the Asura Annihilation Dao Foundation cannot be denied. In my opinion, this Asura Annihilation Dao Foundation should have the power of an Earth Origin Dao Foundation."
"This Chen Fei also possesses complete Xuan Yuan Dao Foundation power. This is getting interesting."
"Yan Cong is infamous for his ruthlessness; countless geniuses of the same level have died at his hands!"
Discussions arose from the audience, who clearly recognized the origin of this demonic cultivator and were extremely wary of him.
Yan Cong's cold gaze fell on Chen Fei, carrying a hint of scrutiny and indifference, as if he were looking at a dead man.
Chen Fei's gaze was calm, but his Purple Extreme Divine Eyes flickered slightly.
It is very strong, far surpassing all previous opponents. Its foundation is so solid, its demonic essence so pure, and its Dao foundation so powerful that it has almost reached the theoretical limit of the early stage of the Dominator Realm.
If Chen Fei hadn't cultivated his future true body to the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm, he could still have won, given his far superior vision, but the process would undoubtedly have been much more troublesome.
Because the opponent's foundation is extremely solid, and the complete Xuan Yuan Dao Foundation is a symbol of invincibility among those of the same level.
As the arena trembled, the duel began.
Behind Chen Fei, a projection of a future true body, identical in appearance to his own but even more majestic and powerful, flowing with undying divine light and seemingly formed from pure power and rules, instantly merged perfectly with his main body.
In an instant, the pressure emanating from Chen Fei suddenly surged, breaking through an invisible boundary and reaching a completely new level. The physical pressure of the mid-fifteenth rank swept across the entire area.
Sensing the change in Chen Fei's aura, Yan Cong's icy expression showed a dramatic shift for the first time, his pupils shrinking in disbelief.
The Martial Arts Arena of the Myriad Realms contains numerous projections. The plaza where Chen Fei usually resides is just one of these projections. Therefore, although Chen Fei has recently gained fame, it has been too short a time, and the demonic cultivators in the other projections have not yet come to know about him.
Chen Fei looked at Yan Cong in front of him, not giving him any more time to be shocked. He took a step forward, ignoring the spatial distance, and appeared directly in front of Yan Cong.
The Qian Yuan Sword was not drawn; he simply threw a punch!
The void collapsed, all laws crumbled, as if the power of an entire galaxy was compressed into this one punch.
Yan Cong roared, and the six arms of the Asura Dharma Form behind him moved in unison, the demonic soldiers intertwined into a destructive storm, desperately resisting.
"Crack! Boom!"
However, in the face of an absolute power disparity, all skills and supernatural abilities appear pale and powerless.
The destructive storm was pierced through by a single punch, and the Asura Dharma Form let out a groan of unbearable strain as its six arms snapped inch by inch. Then, the fist struck Yan Cong's chest without any fancy moves.
"puff!"
The dark gold armor dented and shattered instantly, and a hole was punched through Yan Cong's chest, the terrifying force of the punch piercing through his body and causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear in the void behind him.
The horror and resentment in Yan Cong's eyes froze instantly. His body flew backward like a rag doll. While still in mid-air, two more punches came down. His body and soul were completely crushed and annihilated by the domineering and unparalleled fist intent.
As it turns out, the spectator's claim that Yan Cong fought against a mid-stage 15th-tier opponent without defeat was clearly false, even if that mid-stage 15th-tier opponent was injured.
Nine consecutive wins!
The spectators stared in shock at the figure on the stage, watching the gradually receding aura of power emanating from him, speechless for a long time.
Black Asura Yan Cong, a true disciple of a major sect on the Primordial Continent and a genius with a complete Xuan Yuan Dao Foundation, was actually killed by a single punch.
This Chen Fei, who previously only revealed the Profound Origin Dao Foundation, how did he suddenly transform into the Earth Origin Dao Foundation!
"Buzz!"
On the stage of life and death, Chen Fei clearly felt that the invisible connection between himself and the martial arts arena of all heavens and myriad worlds had suddenly strengthened, and a deeper level of authority had been opened to him.
At the same time, a stream of information naturally flowed into his consciousness. Items sold within the Myriad Realms Martial Arts Arena will be reduced by 20%. After the price reduction, items priced at half the cost or more will be grouped together, while those priced below half the cost will be discarded.
20% off, and rounded up!
Chen Fei instantly started calculating in his mind. The Tianyuan Divine Palace he had previously set his sights on cost nine Origin Points, but after a 20% discount, it cost seven and a half Origin Points, which rounded up to seven Origin Points!
This directly saved two source points, which was undoubtedly a huge surprise.
Acquiring source points is extremely difficult, and each one is priceless. This discount access is of paramount importance to Chen Fei!
Without lingering on the battlefield, Chen Fei collected his spoils and vanished back into the plaza in a flash.
A moment later, Chen Fei arrived once again at the octagonal stone pavilion atop the cloud-shrouded mountain.
The old man in the gray robe remained seated there, as if he had never changed since time immemorial. On the stone table, two cups of steaming tea were already prepared.
"Young hero, you are truly gifted! To have achieved nine consecutive victories so quickly is truly commendable!"
The old man looked at Chen Fei with a gentle smile and a hint of appreciation in his tone.
"You flatter me, senior."
Chen Fei returned the greeting with a cupped hand and sat down calmly. It was not surprising that the other party, as the embodiment of the rules of the martial arts arena, knew everything.
"Young hero, is there anything you wish to exchange?" the old man asked with a smile.
Just as Chen Fei was about to reveal the Heavenly Origin Divine Palace, the foundational method of the Heavenly Origin Dao, his heart suddenly skipped a beat without warning. An indescribable tremor, tinged with a faint gloom and a sense of urgency, descended from the depths of his being.
It did not come from the outside world, but rather from Chen Fei's own immense and astonishing fortune.
It's as if beneath the calm surface of a lake, a massive shadow is silently approaching, about to unleash a devastating storm.
This feeling did not come from the old man in front of me, nor from the martial arts arena of the myriad worlds, but from the Xuan Yu Realm!
As for the current crisis in the Xuan Yu Realm, it is only those Heavenly Demons!
"senior……"
Chen Fei suppressed the unease in his heart, his expression becoming solemn. "The plane I reside in is currently under massive invasion by demonic cultivators, and the situation is extremely precarious. If the last line of defense collapses and the realm falls, countless lives will be lost! I wonder if the Martial Arts Arena has any solutions?"
The old man's expression did not change much upon hearing this, as if he was already used to such situations.
"Does the solution you're referring to, young hero, mean completely eliminating those invading demonic cultivators?"
"Yes, is there a way?" Chen Fei nodded. If it could solve the problem once and for all, that would be best.
"Of course."
The old man smiled slightly and said calmly, "By spending one hundred Origin Points, we can summon a powerful expert at the fifteenth level of the Limit and who has cultivated the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation to descend upon your plane. With his power, wiping out those demonic cultivators will be a piece of cake."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei's eyes flickered, and he immediately thought of Fu Xin, whom he had met in the square earlier. Wasn't this exactly the method Fu Xin wanted?
But this price is definitely not something that Fu Xin can afford.
"but……"
The old man changed the subject, "After that powerful figure finishes dealing with the demonic cultivator, whether he will take your dimensional essence as part of his 'reward,' or do something else, the training ground cannot guarantee. It all depends on his own will. You must weigh the risks yourself."
Chen Fei frowned. This was tantamount to driving a tiger to devour a wolf, but it might also attract an even more greedy and hungry tiger!
"Could we pay an extra price, agreeing that after dealing with the demonic cultivator, he will leave immediately and not touch my plane in the slightest?" Chen Fei asked in a deep voice.
"That's certainly possible."
The old man nodded, "But there will be an additional charge, roughly two hundred source points. The training ground can ensure that they strictly abide by the contract and leave immediately after the matter is completed."
Two hundred source points!
Chen Fei's lips twitched slightly. This was an astronomical figure, and there was no way to get a discount for asking other powerful figures to help.
This means that Chen Fei needs to achieve a winning streak of two hundred matches on the Life and Death Arena. Even though his strength has greatly improved and he now possesses the Earthly Origin Dao Foundation, and is even about to exchange for the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation, he cannot guarantee this. After all, there are always higher levels to reach.
Alternatively, if Chen Fei's cultivation level can break through to the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm, the Origin Point reward for each victory will increase instead of the current amount of Origin Points.
However, breaking through to the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm requires high-grade spiritual materials, and finding them takes time. Moreover, the crisis in the Xuan Yu Realm seems to be imminent. Judging from the premonitions based on the feedback from the Qi Luck, he probably doesn't have much time to slowly cultivate and improve.
"Then... besides this method of completely eliminating demonic cultivators, is there a way to protect the vast majority of living beings in my plane?"
Chen Fei, settling for second best, asked the most crucial question: preserving our strength for the future is the most realistic option.
"Yes, there are."
The old man replied quickly: "By paying forty source points, the training ground can forcibly open the barrier of your plane, and according to your wishes, select all the creatures within a specific area and safely guide them out to leave with you. At that time, you can directly descend to an area of the Primordial Continent, or you can choose to descend to another safe fifteenth-tier plane."
"Forty Source Points!"
Chen Fei's eyes lit up. This plan was feasible and could be discounted, ultimately requiring only thirty-two source points to be paid.
Although the cost is still huge, it is obviously much more realistic than the previous plan. He now has the source points he just won with nine consecutive victories, for a total of seven source points.
There are still 25 source points missing.
The pressure remains immense, but it's no longer insurmountable. However, to continue facing life-or-death situations, we must enhance our strength and prioritize our own safety.
Chen Fei quickly made a decision.
"Senior, this junior wishes to exchange for 'Tianyuan Divine Palace'."
"Alright." The old man nodded and flicked his sleeve gently.
A ball of light, radiating a chaotic yet dazzling brilliance and seemingly containing countless Dao runes that seemed to come and go within it, condensed from nothingness and slowly flew toward Chen Fei.
At the same time, Chen Fei felt his seven Origin Points vanish instantly. Now, to obtain thirty-two Origin Points, he must win thirty-two consecutive matches!
Chen Fei took the ball of light; it was warm to the touch, and the vast and boundless information about the cultivation technique seemed to be about to flood into his mind.
Chen Fei suppressed the urge to immediately comprehend it, cupped his hands to the old man and said, "This junior takes his leave."
The old man smiled and nodded, and Chen Fei's figure disappeared into the stone pavilion.
Almost at the same time that Chen Fei was exchanging cultivation techniques at the martial arts arena, deep in the void of the Southern Region of the Xuan Yu Realm.
The demonic energy surged, like a black ocean.
More than a hundred figures, radiating overwhelming demonic power, stood silently, their auras intertwined, causing the surrounding void to distort and groan. Leading them was none other than the top-ranked figure on the Heavenly Ranking, the Annihilation Venerable!
The other Heavenly Demon Sovereigns stood respectfully behind him, but their eyes held a hint of doubt and confusion.
The situation in the Xuan Yu Realm is still acceptable. Although the Earth Ranking incident caused some turmoil, the demonic tide is still advancing steadily. Cultivators and Yuan Demons are still being forcibly suppressed by them. Why would the Destroyer Venerable suddenly summon them all?
The Destroyer slowly turned around, and a rare solemnity appeared on his blurry face, which seemed to be composed of pure destructive intent.
"Because of the Heavenly Ranking, my fortune is unparalleled in this world."
The voice of the Destroyer was deep and hoarse, carrying a chilling majesty.
“However, lately, I have been uneasy, as if a terrible omen is about to befall me. If we delay any longer, I fear that not only will we fail to seize this realm, but we will all face death and annihilation! And the time limit is not far off!”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the Heavenly Demon Sovereigns present changed drastically.
The ability to sense one's destiny is mysterious and profound. At their level, it is never baseless. Especially for beings like the Destroyer Venerable, whose destiny is deeply intertwined with the Heavenly Dao of the Xuan Yu Realm, his premonition may very well foreshadow some terrifying future!
"Your Majesty, do you know the source of the crisis?"
One of the Heavenly Demon Sovereigns couldn't help but ask, "They can't understand who in the Xuan Yu Realm can threaten the Destruction Venerable now? Although the Heavenly Profound Venerable is strong, he can only barely hold on by relying on the terrain. It is absolutely impossible for him to kill the Destruction Venerable."
"The secrets of heaven are shrouded in mystery and difficult to fathom."
The Destroyer slowly shook his head, his eyes blazing with crimson light. "But no matter where they come from, this battle should not be delayed any longer!"
"Pass down the order: no more probing, begin to raze their mountain gates!"
The voice was resolute, containing an unquestionable determination and killing intent!
Upon hearing this, the demon lords, though feeling the haste and knowing the losses would be greater, sensed the unprecedented solemnity and determination in the Destruction Lord's tone. None dared to object, and they all bowed in obedience.
"I will obey His Majesty's decree!"
In a quiet corner of the martial arts arena across the myriad realms.
Inside the Guixu Realm, Chen Fei sat cross-legged.
As the light of Time Pavilion shone down, Chen Fei's mind was completely immersed in the light cluster of the Heavenly Origin Divine Palace. Countless Dao runes flowed through Chen Fei's soul like a galaxy.
This top-tier Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation Method, obtained from the Primordial Continent, far surpasses any cultivation technique Chen Fei had previously practiced in its exquisiteness and profundity. It directly addresses the essence of the physical body, elucidates the true meaning of immortality, and aims to cultivate the physical body into an eternal and indestructible divine palace that suppresses all heavens!
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes when the last rune was fully comprehended and absorbed.
"Fusion!"
"Having obtained a new cultivation technique, the Divine Palace will never perish!"
What is meant by the immortality of Shenque?
The projection of the undying true body from the past borrows power from the future to enhance itself. Although the power is strong, it still has a sense of "emptiness," like a rootless duckweed, easily disturbed or even destroyed by higher-level powers.
At this moment, the merged Divine Palace Immortal takes itself as the basis of the "present" and uses supreme will and Dao foundation as the framework to directly imprint, manifest, and melt the meaning and rules of "future immortality" into the present body!
When activated, it doesn't involve a projection descending, but rather allows Chen Fei's "current body" to briefly and truly become that immortal body located in the future timeline!
Every drop of blood, every inch of bone, every muscle contains the "undying" characteristic originating from the source of the rules. Every punch thrown is the absolute power from the undying source!
"simplify!"
"Simplification of Divine Palace Immortal in progress...Simplification successful...Divine Palace Immortal → Undying of Calamity!"
The panel notification flashed, and at the same time, 300,000 Immortal Mystic Crystals piled up around Chen Fei instantly evaporated, setting a new record for simplified consumption.
Surrounded by spiritual energy, Chen Fei immediately activated the Undying Tribulation technique. A massive amount of insights about the indestructibility of the Divine Palace surged into Chen Fei's sea of consciousness like a cosmic explosion, and were then absorbed by Chen Fei one by one.
Within the Realm of Return to Nothingness, strange phenomena abound. At times, countless rays of light and auspicious clouds appear, at other times, it seems as if countless worlds are being born and destroyed, and at still other times, it becomes simple and unadorned. Only Chen Fei's seated figure exudes an ancient charm that is eternally still and indestructible.
Time flew by, and when the last bit of insight was completely absorbed and integrated, Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, it seemed as if billions of stars in the universe were born and died, eventually returning to a deep and calm ancient well.
The Divine Palace is indestructible, the Great Perfection is achieved!
As Chen Fei sensed the changes within his body, a smile involuntarily appeared in his eyes.
His previous future true body was like wearing armor; strong, but with a layer of protection. But now, in his indestructible state, his physical body is power itself!
Furthermore, since the foundation of the Divine Palace is far superior to that of the Undying Tribulation, once he draws upon his future true body, the power he can unleash will directly reach the peak of the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm.
It is far stronger than when it first entered the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm.
Of course, if one wants to break through to the late stage of the Dominator Realm in the future, one still needs to find a more powerful Time-related treasure to cultivate, and this has not changed.
Chen Fei got up, left the Guixu Realm, and reappeared in the martial arts arena square.
Without pausing, Chen Fei headed straight for the area of the life-or-death arena.
A moment later, a flash of light appeared, and Chen Fei's figure appeared on the blood-stained arena for the tenth time.
Opposite, demonic energy surged, and a figure materialized, its aura extremely violent. It was another powerful demonic cultivator who had cultivated a complete Xuan Yuan Dao Foundation, and its strength was several times greater than that of Yan Cong before.
The demonic cultivator glanced at Chen Fei, then closed his eyes.
A few breaths later, the arena trembled, and the duel began.
The demonic cultivator suddenly opened his eyes, his demonic shadow roared, and his giant arm, carrying terrifying power that could tear the sky and split the earth, slammed down towards Chen Fei!
Chen Fei's eyes remained calm, but with a slight thought, a portion of the indestructible power of the Divine Palace quietly began to circulate.
In an instant, a layer of extremely faint, almost invisible, chaotic luster appeared on Chen Fei's body.
"Boom!"
The terrifying attack, powerful enough to severely injure an ordinary early-stage Dominator, struck Chen Fei squarely. However, as the explosive demonic light dissipated, Chen Fei remained standing quietly in place.
All the power of the attack was neutralized and annihilated the moment it came into contact with the chaotic luster on Chen Fei's body!
The demonic cultivator's pupils widened in shock. In the instant he was stunned, Chen Fei took a step forward and appeared directly in front of the demonic cultivator.
A hand reached out, seemingly slowly, yet containing the supreme power to suppress all heavens, easily piercing through the layers of defense hastily set up by the opponent, and grabbing his head!
"Do not……"
The demonic cultivator was terrified and struggled desperately, unleashing a frenzied burst of demonic energy within his body, but it was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, unable to budge that hand in the slightest.
……
Just as Chen Fei was making rapid progress in the martial arts arena, accumulating a winning streak.
The Xuan Yu Realm has been plunged into an unprecedented bloodbath!
At the command of the Destroyer, the extraterrestrial demons launched an attack.
The demonic tide, like a black tsunami that destroys everything, swept across all regions. The defenses painstakingly built by the cultivators and the Yuan Demon Alliance were torn apart and destroyed one after another under the Tian Demon's relentless and frenzied attacks!
Several earth-shattering pieces of news spread rapidly throughout the major forces of the Xuan Yu Realm, causing immense panic.
Following the razing of the Illusionary Sect's mountain gate, within just two days, the Ghost Valley Pavilion, renowned for its mastery of formations and defensive prowess, had its mountain gate formation forcibly breached by a combined force of several Heavenly Demon Sovereigns.
Of the three Yuan Demon Sovereigns, two died in battle, and one, in despair, was corrupted by demonic energy, actively transformed, and surrendered to the Heavenly Demon, leading to the destruction of the Ghost Valley Pavilion!
In Xuan Yue Mountain, a sacred site of swordsmanship, the mountain lord died in the sky, his disciples were almost all killed or injured, and the Sword Stele Forest, which had been passed down for thousands of years, was corrupted and shattered by demonic energy!
The Hundred Flowers Palace, renowned for its alchemy and spiritual plants, had its protective array corroded and broken. The palace master and several elders chose to self-destruct their alchemy furnaces and bodies to severely injure the invading enemies, but in the end, they could not escape the fate of the destruction of the sect and the death of their members. The mountain gate was turned into a dead land!
The Heavenly Demons also suffered losses, but compared to the heavy losses suffered by the cultivators and the Yuan Demons, their losses were clearly within an acceptable range.
With war raging everywhere, the situation in the Xuan Yu Realm seemed to have taken a sharp turn for the worse overnight, reaching a critical juncture of life and death.
Many sects and forces fled to the Tianxuan Sect. They had realized that the Heavenly Demons were no longer plotting slowly as before, but were now revealing their true intentions directly!
