Chapter 1965 Who Has Bringed This Its Own Fault?
Chapter 1965 Who Has Bringed This Its Own Fault?
Inside the training ground, Ji Yangming watched as his massive array, powerful enough to annihilate ordinary mid-stage Dominator Realm cultivators, was so easily broken by Chen Fei with a single finger, turning into chaotic energy flows that scattered and collapsed. For the first time, a noticeable fluctuation appeared on his usually arrogant face.
Ji Yangming's brows furrowed involuntarily, a deep look of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Although he set up the Ice and Fire Soul Refining Array casually without using his full strength, the intertwined forces of ice and fire and the power of vengeful spirits to devour the soul made its power not to be underestimated.
Let alone dealing with a cultivator who has just entered the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm, it would be enough to pose a fatal threat to even a powerful expert who has been immersed in the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm for many years, forcing the opponent to be flustered and exhausted.
However, in front of Chen Fei, the most core and crucial operating point of this formation was seen through with unparalleled precision at a glance, and then completely collapsed.
Such effortless and insightful methods of breaking formations should not be the kind of insight and control that a newly promoted mid-stage Dominator Realm expert should possess.
Outside the martial arts arena.
In the Xuan Yu Realm camp, all the powerful beings at the Sovereign Realm, whose nerves were originally tense, couldn't help but relax a little the moment they saw Chen Fei easily break through the giant ice and fire formation. Their eyes, which were originally filled with worry and tension, lit up.
Although the battle has just begun, judging from the limited glimpse, Chen Fei's combat power is far beyond that of ordinary mid-stage Sovereigns. At least, many mid-stage Sovereigns present would never dare to say that they could so easily break the Ice and Fire Soul Refining Array.
On the other hand, the atmosphere on the Demonic side suddenly became tense.
Those previously savage smiles, filled with cruelty, mockery, and anticipation of their prey's death throes, now vanished, replaced by a bewildered silence.
"The Ice and Fire Soul Refining Array shouldn't have been broken so easily!"
"That Chen Fei, he just broke through, how could he possibly possess such insight and skills?"
"Something's not right! Chen Fei's strength is off; it doesn't seem like the performance of someone who's just entered this realm. Even many veteran mid-stage Dominator Realm cultivators who have cultivated for tens of thousands of years might not have such precise and terrifying array-breaking abilities!"
The whispers carried a hint of unease.
Chen Fei's performance once again exceeded their comprehension. He had only broken through for an hour. What could one possibly accomplish in such a short time for cultivation?
For the first time, a slight crack appeared in their unwavering belief in victory.
Inside the martial arts arena.
Ji Yangming took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his astonishment and confusion. His gaze became serious and sharp as he re-examined the junior opposite him, whose expression remained calm.
Ji Yangming remained confident that he would eventually be able to defeat Chen Fei with his own strength.
But at this moment, Ji Yangming's thoughts of easily crushing the enemy and quickly finishing the battle had completely disappeared.
Ji Yangming realized that his opponent had brought the strangeness he had shown in the early stage of the Dominator Realm to the middle stage.
This already warrants Ji Yangming's utmost caution and serious attention; it will be a tough battle.
Ji Yangming moved both hands simultaneously, and his demonic energy erupted.
His left hand swiftly formed an incredibly complex ancient demonic seal, drawing upon the very essence of ice and fire in heaven and earth. His right hand suddenly rose high into the sky, fingers spread wide, grasping power from the void.
"Boom!"
The next moment, a colossal demonic pillar, entwined with extreme ice and destructive demonic flames, emanating a terrifying aura that could annihilate all things and freeze the soul, appeared in the sky.
Tearing through layers of void, it descended fiercely from the heavens like divine punishment, striking directly at Chen Fei's head.
Before the demonic pillar even arrived, the immense, boundless, and time-binding pressure had already descended, completely locking and solidifying the void within a radius of tens of thousands of miles around Chen Fei, as if it were about to crush and pulverize him.
But this is not the end...
Ji Yangming's raised right hand suddenly changed, forming a strange and sinister hand seal, which he pointed towards the void around Chen Fei.
"Buzz!"
Around Chen Fei, in eight different directions, the space rippled violently, creating countless waves.
It was as if a colossal brush, dipped in thick ink, was freely splashing ink across a canvas in the void. Eight enormous, jet-black runes, formed from pure demonic energy and laws, radiating a terrifying aura of devouring the heavens and earth, materialized out of thin air and took shape instantly.
Between the eight symbols, demonic light flowed, and the energy instantly connected, weaving into a net.
A colossal demonic array, several times larger and more complex than the previous Ice and Fire Soul Refining Array, suddenly appeared in its rudimentary form: the Sun Devouring Demonic Barrier Array.
Block off all directions, isolate heaven and earth!
Within the formation, a violent and chaotic, destructive energy capable of corroding bones and consuming the soul began to surge and accumulate wildly, ready to unleash its earth-shattering power once the formation was fully formed.
At this moment, Ji Yangming unreservedly revealed his terrifying strength and profound foundation as the number one person in the mid-stage of the Heavenly Demon Sovereign Realm.
Such a powerful and intricately linked double attack was completed in the blink of an eye with just a few gestures.
Outside the martial arts arena.
Many Sovereign Realm experts in the Heavenly Demon camp held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on the scene.
They wanted to see with their own eyes how Chen Fei would deal with Ji Yangming's serious and all-out killing move!
Meanwhile, the atmosphere on the Xuan Yu Realm side became tense once again.
Many powerful figures at the Dominator Realm, especially those mid-stage Dominator Realm experts who had fought against Ji Yangming and even managed to escape from his clutches, turned pale as they looked at the Sun Devouring Demon Barrier Array that appeared in the sky, radiating a suffocating pressure. Their eyes revealed lingering fear and horror.
"The Sun-Devouring Demonic Barrier Array...it's that demonic array!" a mid-stage Sovereign Realm expert said in a hoarse voice.
"Back then, I was trapped by this formation and nearly perished, body and soul. If it weren't for the desperate rescue by my fellow cultivators, I would never have escaped. This formation is extremely powerful, and it can continuously devour the power of those trapped within, replenishing itself and growing stronger the longer it drags on. Chen Fei, he..."
Upon hearing this, the other rulers in the realm of Sovereigns were filled with obvious worry.
Inside the training ground, Chen Fei, at the very center of the storm, faced the ice and fire demon pillar crashing down with the force of the collapsing sky above him, and the rapidly forming, all-sealing Sun Devouring Demon Array around him, yet his expression remained as calm as still water.
Chen Fei raised his head slightly, and the profound power of the final scene quietly activated in his eyes.
In an instant, everything became crystal clear in Chen Fei's vision, from the Sun-Devouring Demon Barrier Array to the Ice-Fire Demon Pillar. Every trajectory of its internal energy flow, every node where the laws are combined, the density of its power distribution, and even its most primitive and fragile innate defects.
The next moment, Chen Fei had a thought.
"boom!"
A vast, pure, and powerful aura of Yuan energy, reaching the peak of the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm, erupted from Chen Fei's body without reservation, soaring into the sky and instantly dissipating the terrifying pressure of the solidified space around him.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Fei activated a portion of the Divine Palace's indestructible power.
"Buzz!"
A projection of his future true form, radiating an aura of eternal immortality and with cultivation fluctuations reaching the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm, condensed behind Chen Fei. Then, it took a step forward and instantly merged perfectly with Chen Fei's main body.
"Boom!"
Chen Fei's aura surged once again, with the combined power of his Yuan Power, physical strength, and divine soul. Although he was still no match for Ji Yangming's cultivation, the gap had been greatly narrowed.
"Peak mid-stage Dominator Realm Yuan Power? And a future true form at the mid-stage Dominator Realm?"
Outside the training ground, divine thoughts surged within the Heavenly Demon camp, and many Heavenly Demons' expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Zang Guanlin leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with disbelief.
He was not only shocked that Chen Fei had just broken through and his Yuan Power cultivation had reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm, but he was even more shocked by that future true body of the mid-stage Dominator Realm.
Zang Guanlin could clearly discern that this future true form was not someone who had just cultivated to this level, but rather someone who had always been at this level.
"It is a complete Earthly Dao Foundation, not just the one that merely touched the threshold as previously revealed!"
"He had already forged a complete Earthly Dao Foundation when he was in the early stage of the Sovereign Realm. This kid is hiding his true abilities too well!"
If it weren't for the extremely short time he was given to cultivate, this future true form would probably have been cultivated to the power of the late-stage Dominator Realm..."
Compared to the Heavenly Demon faction's profound understanding of the Earthly Dao Foundation, the Xuan Yu Realm knows very little about it.
However, they could clearly sense that after merging with that true form, Chen Fei's aura had become incredibly powerful.
"It's not out of reach; we have the strength to fight!"
Inside the martial arts arena.
Chen Fei has already activated the principle of all laws returning to their source.
"Buzz!"
A massive bronze vessel, with its ancient and heavy bronze hue, three legs, two handles, and countless mysterious and unpredictable phantom images imprinted on its body, appeared out of thin air in front of Chen Fei.
It is a replica of the bronze prison-suppressing cauldron with the eternal prison-suppressing properties.
Although the illusory image of this cauldron is only at the early stage of the Dominator Realm due to the fact that the Myriad Laws Return to the Source characteristic is still in the early stage, resulting in it having the power of a low-grade Dominator Divine Weapon at this moment, its core and essential absolute suppression meaning has not diminished in the slightest.
For Chen Fei, as long as it is sturdy enough, that's sufficient.
Chen Fei grabbed one leg of the bronze cauldron with one hand, completely ignoring the ice and fire demon pillar that was about to crash down above his head, bringing endless pressure, and also ignoring the demon array barrier around him that was constantly shrinking and emitting bone-corroding and soul-destroying power.
With a single step, Chen Fei instantly appeared before a seemingly empty void.
Chen Fei swung the bronze cauldron high into the air and slammed it down into the void without any fancy moves.
In the distance, Ji Yangming, who was doing his best to maintain the operation of the formation and guide the Ice and Fire Demon Pillars, saw Chen Fei's sudden action and his expression changed, his pupils contracting sharply.
That location is one of the core nodes where the eight runes of the Sun-Devouring Demon Barrier Array converge and energy is transferred.
Its location is constantly changing and is perfectly hidden by the violent energy turbulence and distorted laws within the array. Even he, the one who set up the array, needs to rely on the array's perception to accurately grasp it.
How could Chen Fei find that place so accurately and so quickly when the formation was not yet fully formed and the energy was at its most chaotic and turbulent?
This is simply unbelievable!
Ji Yangming's mind went blank with alarm bells. He instinctively tried to change the array nodes and shift the core, but Chen Fei's movements were too fast for Ji Yangming to react in time.
In his haste, Ji Yangming could only frantically channel his demonic energy into the Devouring Sun Demon Barrier Array, desperately trying to reinforce that node and withstand Chen Fei's attack.
"boom!"
The bronze cauldron slammed solidly into the seemingly empty void node, unleashing a deafening, terrifying roar that sounded like stars shattering and a realm collapsing.
The sound waves transformed into tangible shockwaves, sweeping wildly in all directions.
"Crack... Boom!"
The void that was struck, like fragile glass, was instantly covered with countless spiderweb-like cracks, and then shattered with a bang, revealing countless intertwined and flashing array runes inside, which were now violently twisted and on the verge of collapse.
The Sun-Devouring Demon Barrier Array, which was about to be fully formed, suddenly emitted a strange sound and began to tremble violently.
The once orderly flow and accumulation of powerful demonic energy within the formation instantly became extremely chaotic, conflicting and backfiring. The eight talismans that served as the foundation of the formation flickered rapidly, their light fading unpredictably.
Even the Ice and Fire Demon Pillar that was about to crash down on Chen Fei's head was suddenly halted due to the damage to the core of the formation and the energy backlash, and its downward momentum was significantly slowed down.
The formation was connected to Ji Yangming's energy. The formation was severely damaged, and Ji Yangming was hit hard. His face turned pale instantly, his throat tasted sweet, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, but he forcibly swallowed it back. A slight, imperceptible disorder appeared in his aura.
A ruthless and ferocious glint flashed in Ji Yangming's eyes. He forcibly suppressed the surging blood and qi within his body, and his eyes suddenly erupted with terrifying dark demonic light.
"town!"
Ji Yangming let out a deep roar, burning a portion of his original demonic energy at any cost, transforming it into two extremely condensed demonic lights. One shot towards the constantly shaking Devouring Sun Demon Barrier Array, and the other shot towards the stagnant Ice and Fire Demon Pillar.
With the forceful infusion and suppression of this power, the collapsing formation and the stagnant demonic pillars were actually stabilized by Ji Yangming.
The light of the Sun-Devouring Demon Barrier Array blazed brightly once more, and the chaotic energy within was violently straightened out, transforming into an even more violent and destructive torrent that surged wildly toward Chen Fei at the center of the array. The Ice and Fire Demon Pillars also accelerated their descent once more.
However, Chen Fei seemed oblivious to this increasingly fierce attack from both inside and outside.
He calmly surveyed the surrounding torrents of energy, which were now even more restless due to the forceful suppression, and gently stepped back with his right foot.
"Buzz!"
A tiny ripple spread through the void beneath his feet. Where the ripple spread, the surging, violent energy that was enough to corrode bones and destroy souls seemed to have crashed into an invisible yet incredibly tough wall, and its speed suddenly slowed down slightly.
In that brief moment of hesitation, Chen Fei's figure vanished from the spot once again.
The next moment, Chen Fei appeared before another equally crucial, yet more concealed, node in the Devouring Sun Demon Barrier Array.
He swung the bronze cauldron in his hand again without any fancy moves and smashed it down!
Ji Yangming stared wide-eyed at the scene, but was powerless to stop it.
"Boom!"
A terrifying explosion, even more violent than before, rang out.
"Crack!"
This time, the Sun-Devouring Demon Barrier Array could no longer withstand the pressure. The violent tremors were far greater than before. The eight talismans that served as the array's foundation let out mournful cries of unbearable strain, their light dimmed rapidly, and fine cracks even appeared on their surfaces.
The energy that had just been forcibly suppressed within the formation completely lost control, causing a frenzied backlash and explosion.
The ice and fire demon pillar that fell from the sky was forced upwards and rolled back by the terrifying explosive force from below.
Chen Fei turned to look at Ji Yangming in the distance, expressionless, and suddenly swung his arm.
"call out!"
The bronze prison-suppressing cauldron in his hand transformed into a streak of azure light, tracing an extremely tricky path as it instantly streaked across the void.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Wherever the bronze cauldron passed, the remaining key nodes and energy hubs of the Sun-Devouring Demon Barrier Array were smashed and swept away one after another.
"Boom!"
Finally, the entire Sun-Devouring Demon Barrier Array could no longer hold on, letting out a desperate cry before completely exploding and turning into countless chaotic and out-of-control destructive energy fragments that scattered in all directions.
The ice and fire pillars that were rolling upwards collapsed and vanished without a trace, having lost the support and guidance of the formation.
"puff!"
The formation was completely breached, and under the pull of the energy, Ji Yangming could no longer suppress himself. He coughed up a mouthful of dark golden blood containing primordial demonic energy, his body swayed violently, and his face instantly turned deathly pale. His aura visibly weakened.
Chen Fei reached out and beckoned, and the bronze cauldron flew back and landed back in his hand.
Without pausing, Chen Fei appeared directly above Ji Yangming, who was staggering backward and breathing heavily, as if by teleportation.
Looking down at Ji Yangming, who was pale and whose eyes were still filled with shock and disbelief, with a cold gaze, he stood high above him.
Chen Fei held the bronze cauldron high in his hand, carrying his own vast Yuan power, the power of his future true body, and the combat power boost brought by the quiet operation of the Primordial Tide, transforming it into a terrifying force that could crush all things and suppress all heavens, and smashed down from above.
Before the cauldron even arrived, the immense and boundless suppressive power had already crashed down like the collapse of the entire sky, once again imprisoning the space around Ji Yangming.
"roll!"
Ji Yangming let out a roar of shock and anger. He never expected that his carefully laid trap would not only fail to harm the opponent in the slightest, but would also be easily broken by the opponent, and he would suffer a backlash.
Now, being bullied so closely by this junior, the intense humiliation and anger instantly overwhelmed the shock in Ji Yangming's heart.
The devil has arrived!
"Buzz!"
Eight slightly dim illusory talismans reappeared, swirling rapidly around Ji Yangming's body. At the same time, Ji Yangming clenched his right fist, his arm muscles bulging and dark golden demonic patterns instantly covering his entire arm, radiating a savage and violent terrifying power.
Ji Yangming's eyes widened in anger, and he gathered all his strength in his right fist, fiercely meeting the descending bronze cauldron from below.
Ji Yangming was confident that even though he was injured, with his peak mid-stage Dominator Realm demonic body and power, he could never lose in a head-on confrontation to an opponent who had just broken through and whose physique was obviously weaker than his.
"clang!"
The bottom of the bronze cauldron collided with Ji Yangming's fist in a straightforward and solid manner.
A deafening roar, like two ancient stars colliding violently, erupted. The sound waves transformed into tangible shockwaves, spreading wildly in all directions and creating countless fine black cracks in the space of the training ground.
The bronze cauldron and Ji Yangming's fist were momentarily locked in a stalemate in mid-air.
Veins bulged on Ji Yangming's forehead as he gritted his teeth and frantically circulated his demonic energy to resist the terrifying power that seemed to be pressing down on him like an entire star field.
At the same time, the incredibly hard bronze cauldron began to slightly indent and deform at the point where it came into contact with Ji Yangming's fist, emitting a teeth-grinding "creaking" sound.
However, Ji Yangming's fist, covered in demonic runes and confident that it could shatter stars, was not having an easy time either.
Long, thin, deep wounds with edges gleaming with destructive power spread rapidly upwards from the surface of his fist, instantly covering his entire fist and forearm.
Dark gold demonic blood, brimming with boundless vitality, gushed out wildly like a flood that had lost its dam.
Ji Yangming's face was contorted with rage, his eyes filled with anger, humiliation, and a hint of bewilderment.
His demonic body was clearly far stronger than his opponent's, and his power level was by no means inferior, so why was he the one who was more seriously injured in the head-on confrontation?
The junior's Venerable Broken Cauldron was only slightly deformed, while his own arm was injured like this.
Just as Ji Yangming was in shock and trying to turn the tide,
Chen Fei suddenly released his grip on the bronze cauldron, and with a light and agile movement, he flipped over and leaped onto the top of the cauldron.
As the primordial tide surged, Chen Fei raised his right foot and stepped onto one of the handles of the bronze cauldron.
"boom!"
A terrifying, overwhelming force, far surpassing anything before, erupted from beneath Chen Fei's feet and passed through the cauldron's handles, permeating the entire bronze Prison-Suppressing Cauldron without reservation.
"clang!"
With the support of this newfound immense power, the bronze cauldron emitted a deep hum, and its downward momentum suddenly increased, its power instantly exceeding the limit that Ji Yangming could withstand.
Ji Yangming's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints, and an expression of disbelief and horror appeared on his face. He frantically roused the demonic energy within his body, trying to exert his strength to resist once again.
But it couldn't be stopped!
"Crack!"
A chilling sound, like the cracking of divine metal, clearly echoed throughout the entire training ground.
Ji Yangming's right arm, which had been struggling to support him, could no longer withstand the sudden surge of overwhelming and terrifying power. It twisted, deformed, and then exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist mixed with bone fragments and demonic blood.
Ji Yangming felt as if a mountain had crushed him, and blood gushed from his mouth like a spring. He was completely out of control and flew backward rapidly, his breath plummeting instantly.
During the inverted flight, Ji Yangming's gaze was unfocused, and his face was filled with incomprehensible bewilderment.
He clearly used the demonic energy and physical strength of the peak mid-stage Dominator Realm, and he clearly cultivated all the characteristics of the mid-stage Dominator Realm to their peak.
He had no reason to lose, but in reality, he was crushed without a doubt.
Chen Fei's physical cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm, so why is the absolute power he unleashes so terrifying?
Chen Fei followed closely behind Ji Yangming, who was flying backward, and hovered above him.
Holding the bronze Prison-Suppressing Cauldron, whose walls were slightly deformed but still exuded a heavy suppressive aura, he looked down at Ji Yangming, who was in a sorry state and had a weak aura.
"Tell me, who is...?"
"It's your own fault?"
