Chapter 2074 Crimson Flames Burn the Sky, Divine Bird Spreads Its Wings
Just moments before, Fan Yueze had been arrogantly mocking his opponent, questioning whether he still thought this match was a possibility, and unleashing the power of the Tongtian Ruler's replica frenzy as if he controlled everything.
In the blink of an eye, his opponent not only broke his plan, but also turned the tables on him in the same way he was good at.
This was tantamount to a resounding slap across his face.
"very good……"
Fan Yueze spat out two words through gritted teeth, his voice chilling. His previous mockery and composure had vanished. All that remained was a resolute determination to utterly tear his opponent to shreds.
Fan Yueze suddenly looked up, and his aura surged dramatically.
A strange demonic realm, deep as ink, seemingly containing countless swirling stars and appearing to reflect the divine treasures within his body, suddenly expanded outwards from his center.
This was the powerful Dao Domain that Fan Yueze had condensed after cultivating the Inner Realm of the Divine Treasury of the Heavens to the seventh level. Within the Dao Domain, demonic energy surged, blood and qi flowed like dragons, and there was also a faint, majestic aura of an inner realm manifesting outwards, forming its own world.
At the same time, Fan Yueze rapidly formed hand seals, his ten fingers flying and leaving afterimages. Each seal caused his Dao Domain and his own demonic energy to vibrate violently, emitting a heart-palpitating fluctuation.
"Duh!"
After completing the last hand seal, Fan Yueze suddenly opened his mouth and blew out a breath of primordial demonic energy towards the Tongtian Ruler, which was suspended in front of him and closely connected to his Dao Domain Qi.
This demonic energy was condensed to a substantial degree, displaying a dark golden color. It seemed to contain countless tiny demonic runes and the immense essence of blood and qi from the seventh level of his inner realm's divine treasures.
"Wow!"
"hold head high!"
"Roar!"
"Waaah!"
Four distinct roars, yet all equally filled with a wild, ancient, and majestic aura, resounded almost simultaneously from the void surrounding the Tongtian Ruler.
Crimson flames scorch the heavens, and a divine bird spreads its wings!
In the south, a phantom of a Vermilion Bird with a wingspan of over a hundred miles and its entire body burning with dark red, inextinguishable demonic flames materialized, its gaze cold and disdainful as it surveyed all directions.
The Xuan River surges to the heavens, but the divine tortoise calms the sea!
In the north, a phantom of a Xuanwu (a mythical tortoise-like creature) appeared, bearing mysterious demonic patterns on its back and surrounded by dark, heavy water. It had a tortoise head and a snake tail, and its aura was as heavy as a mountain.
Towering trees reach for the sky, and divine dragons soar through the clouds!
In the east, a phantom of a blue dragon, with its scaly scales, sharp claws, and swirling azure hurricane and the spiritual energy of the Wood element, appeared, its dragon might overwhelming.
Platinum-white and chilling, a divine tiger cleaves the earth!
In the West, a phantom of a white tiger, its body seemingly cast in platinum, with a king-shaped demonic pattern on its forehead and a murderous aura soaring to the sky, materialized, its eyes like lightning, ready to devour anyone it could.
The Four Divine Beasts!
Although it is formed from demonic energy and blood through supernatural powers and is not a true spirit of heaven and earth, it possesses both form and spirit and is terrifying in power.
More importantly, with the full support of Fan Yueze's seventh level of inner vision of the Divine Realm of the Heavens, and the control and amplification of the Tai Cang Xuanbao Tongtian Ruler in his hand, the power of these four illusory images has reached a terrifying peak that is astonishing.
Each of the phantoms exuded an aura comparable to that of a demonic cultivator who had just entered the early stages of the Tai Cang Realm, and also possessed supernatural transformation abilities.
The four symbols stood in the four directions, faintly forming a formation. Their terrifying pressure merged into one, like four ancient divine mountains, pressing down on Chen Fei at the other end of the arena with unstoppable force.
Wherever it passed, space groaned under its unbearable weight, and the ground was pressed into deep trenches by the invisible force field.
However, this is just the beginning.
Fan Yueze had clearly learned from the lesson of the easily breached void anchor point and changed his tactics. Since hiding the replicated power source within the void interlayer would be easily detected and destroyed by the opponent's uncanny perception…
Then let's place the source of the replica directly within the Tongtian Ruler itself!
Just as the four symbols had not yet fully reached Chen Fei, the distortion of space and the convergence of energy occurred again around the suspended Tongtian Ruler.
Red, black, blue, and white light surged wildly, and new phantom images of the Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger began to rapidly condense and manifest from the void outside the Tongtian Ruler.
Although the speed was slightly slower than the previous direct replication from the void anchor point, and the cohesion was also slightly inferior, the power of the Four Symbols was still greater.
This is Fan Yueze's strategy to deal with Chen Fei's breakthrough. Although this approach has many limitations, the speed at which the replicated attacks are generated is restricted by his own magic power, and it can no longer be as seamless as before.
But the benefits are also obvious: you no longer have to worry about that damned Void hiding spot being found and destroyed by the enemy.
The Heavenly Ruler was in his hands, connected to his Dao Domain, Demonic Essence, and Blood Qi, almost like a part of his body. If Chen Fei wanted to destroy this source, he had to first break through the encirclement of the Four Symbols, and then break the absolute distance set up by the Heavenly Ruler.
"Let's see how you break this time!" Fan Yueze activated his Dao Domain and the Heavenly Ruler with all his might, his body completely enveloped in black mist.
It seemed he was about to be plunged into an endless barrage of attacks, and with such overwhelming force as the Four Symbols Torrent, but Chen Fei's gaze remained as calm as a deep pool.
Chen Fei's gaze, sharp as lightning, locked onto Fan Yueze's true form, which was surrounded by the illusory images of the Four Symbols and the light of the Heavenly Ruler. All the fancy moves and changes ultimately boil down to the clash of power.
The greatest strength of body-refining cultivators has never been fighting from a distance.
Chen Fei took a slight half-step back with his right foot, gently lifted his foot, and then...
"boom!"
A muffled, terrifying explosion, like a giant stomping on the earth, suddenly erupted.
Where Chen Fei stepped back with his right foot, a clear, deep footprint was carved into the surface of the Blood Battle Arena, which was forged from a special material. Around the footprint, countless massive cracks, radiating out like a spider web, stretched for dozens of feet.
At the same time, centered on the point where Chen Fei stepped, the surrounding void suddenly rippled and surged with incredibly violent transparent waves. The scene was as if space itself was being shaken by this pure and domineering physical power.
Just as the spatial ripples reached their most intense point and visual distortion occurred, Chen Fei's figure vanished.
As if merging into the void, the Great Perfection of the Dao Ruins Returning to Truth Body brings not only power, but also absolute control over every bit of power, every movement, and interaction with space in the physical body.
"Want to get close? Wishful thinking!"
The moment Chen Fei took a step, Fan Yueze sensed the overwhelming and terrifying speed of his advance. His mind was closely connected with the Heavenly Ruler, and with a cold laugh, he immediately activated the profound Dao principles of spatial locking within the ruler.
Based on previous experience, once the lock is activated, no matter how fast Chen Fei moves, the relative distance between them will remain constant, seemingly close yet worlds apart, and they will never truly get close.
However, just as the Daoist fluctuations of the Heavenly Ruler were about to take effect, Fan Yueze's expression suddenly changed.
He clearly felt that the Heavenly Ruler's lock on Chen Fei's position suddenly failed.
In that extremely short instant, Chen Fei broke free from the locking range of the Heavenly Ruler in a way that was difficult for him to comprehend.
Although the failure lasted only for a very brief moment, the Dao principles of the Heavenly Ruler immediately recaptured and locked onto Chen Fei's aura and location.
But in that instant, the distance between Chen Fei and him had been shortened by almost half.
Moreover, Chen Fei's momentum did not diminish at all; he was still like a dark purple lightning bolt tearing through space, breaking through the stagnation brought by the pressure of the Four Symbols, and rushing towards her.
The four imposing phantoms of the Four Symbols didn't even have time to make an effective interception before Chen Fei, with his extremely subtle changes in movement and speed, flashed past them through the weakest gap at the point where their pressure was connected.
The fundamental principle behind the Tongtian Ruler's ability to forcibly fix the distance between two parties is based on the absolute locking of the target's position by this Tai Cang Xuanbao (a powerful artifact).
Only by first locking onto the target's point in the current spatial coordinate system can rules be applied based on this point to force the distance between this point and the ruler holder, Fan Yueze, to remain constant.
Logically speaking, given the status and power of the Tai Cang Xuan Bao, locking such basic spatial coordinates onto a cultivator in the early stages of the Tai Cang Realm should not fail at all.
Unless the opponent also possesses another Tai Cang Xuanbao of the same level, and the power of the rules of the two Xuanbao interferes with and cancels each other out, this temporary loss of lock will occur.
"Just like when he shattered the Void Concealment Point of the Heavenly Ruler just now..." A chilling thought resurfaced in Fan Yueze's heart.
Without the resistance of a magical treasure, how can the rule lock of a magical treasure be temporarily disabled?
This completely overturned the understanding of most spectators regarding the power of the Tai Cang Xuan Bao. The reason why Xuan Bao could crush those of the same level was because of the partial power of rules contained within it, which was difficult for low-level cultivators to understand and even more impossible to resist.
But Chen Fei did it!
The dramatic changes on the stage caused the atmosphere in the spectator area to shift and reverse once again.
Those cultivators who had placed their bets on Fan Yueze after being spurred by news of the Heavenly Ruler and the Seventh Divine Treasury had long since lost their ease and confidence, replaced by undisguised tension and suspicion.
"The fixed distance has been broken?"
"It's over, the worst has happened." A demonic cultivator who had placed a huge bet turned pale.
"Using the Heavenly Ruler to fix the distance, preventing the Tai Cang Realm from getting close, was Fan Yueze's greatest advantage in naturally being invincible."
This is the key point that everyone with discerning eyes can see: the strength of a body-refining cultivator lies in close combat. Once confined to a distance, many exquisite and vicious close-combat killing moves cannot be used, and their power is greatly reduced.
"Fan Yueze was able to bombard from a distance with such confidence because of this. But now... this biggest advantage has been shaken."
Seeing the figure on the arena tearing through the Four Symbols' oppressive aura and rushing towards Fan Yueze, everyone who had bet on Fan Yueze had their hearts in their throats.
On the life-or-death stage, in the blink of an eye, the offense and defense have already changed several times.
Although Chen Fei skillfully bypassed the four illusory images created by Fan Yueze, the encirclement was already complete, so how could he easily let go of his target?
Driven by Fan Yueze's mind, the Vermilion Bird cried out, and dark red demonic flames surged like a reversed Milky Way, burning towards Chen Fei's back.
The Black Tortoise roared, and the pitch-black heavy water transformed into a towering wave, crashing down to intercept. The Azure Dragon swung its tail, and a cyan hurricane sliced through space like a knife. The White Tiger pounced, and platinum-gold malevolent energy condensed into thousands of sharp claws, covering all of Chen Fei's evasive positions.
The four illusory figures, unleashing their full power, blocked all of Chen Fei's escape routes from all directions, intending to drown him in a tidal wave of supernatural abilities.
