Chapter 1962 Full of Flaws
Outside the martial arts arena, the Xuan Yu Realm camp.
When Chen Fei's clear and calm "I accepted" echoed between heaven and earth, the expressions on the faces of all the Xuan Yu Realm Sovereign Realm experts instantly changed from joy to utter and unbelievable astonishment.
Why did Chen Fei agree to that?
The hand stroking the long beard of a Sovereign Realm expert suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with confusion. "He clearly made the wisest choice just now, why suddenly..."
"Foolish Chen Fei!"
Chang Xiwen pounded his chest and stamped his feet, his face filled with extreme anxiety: "That old demon's conditions are extremely harsh. Fighting five against one is already a dangerous situation, and he also wants to fight a mid-stage Dominator Realm expert within an hour? This... this is simply..."
"Chen Fei... what are you thinking?" Le Boyang's eyes were filled with worry and confusion. He couldn't understand Chen Fei's sudden change either.
Even the usually composed Venerable Tianxuan showed a barely perceptible flicker in his deep eyes, his brows furrowing slightly.
However, no matter how anxious or confused they were, it was all too late.
The moment Chen Fei finished speaking, the Heavenly Ranking Martial Arts Arena trembled slightly, and the fifteenth-grade mid-level spiritual material in the sky shone brightly, completely merging with the rules of the martial arts arena.
A beam of light, seemingly piercing through the river of time, shot into the sky from the center of the training ground, instantly enveloping the entire training ground and imprinting the wills of Chen Fei and the Destroyer Venerable within it.
The bet is now in effect!
As Heaven has decreed, there is no going back, no going back!
All the rulers of the Xuan Yu Realm could only watch helplessly, their hearts filled with a sense of powerlessness and deep worry. They didn't understand Chen Fei's intentions, but at this moment, they could only choose to believe in this young man who had repeatedly created miracles.
Compared to the astonishment and worry on the Xuan Yu Realm side, the emotions on the Tianmo side, after a brief period of silence, suddenly reversed.
"Hahaha, good! Good! This kid has finally courted his death!"
"Foolish, utterly foolish, to actually accept this certain death!"
"This scoundrel is doomed to die today."
Those Heavenly Demons at the early stage of the Sovereign Realm were especially excited, their faces showing the wild joy of surviving a calamity.
The blade that had been hovering over their heads, ready to fall at any moment and drag them into the abyss of death, had finally disappeared. They no longer had to live in fear, worrying about becoming the next to be sent to the training ground.
With the immense psychological pressure suddenly relieved, their gazes toward Chen Fei were filled with cruel anticipation, eagerly awaiting the tragic sight of him being surrounded and killed by five equally powerful individuals.
"Hahaha!"
Zang Guanlin, who was in the lead, burst into loud laughter, which was filled with both exhilaration and chilling murderous intent.
He waved his hand, his voice booming and authoritative, and directly appointed his generals:
"Yun Qianshang, Zhai Chenfeng, Li Yitong, Mu Yanchen, Song Lihui, you all go in and give this junior a good beating!"
The five early-stage Heavenly Demon Sovereigns who were named all changed their expressions slightly, exchanged glances, and a hint of hesitation and resistance flashed in their eyes.
The five of them were indeed among the strongest early-stage Heavenly Demon Sovereigns present, but precisely because of this, they were even more aware of how terrifying Chen Fei was.
One-on-one? They have no chance!
Even in a three-on-one situation, they felt their chances were slim.
Although it seems like a huge advantage to have five against one, who can guarantee that there will be no mishap when facing a prodigy like Chen Fei who cannot be judged by common sense?
However, they had no reason to refuse, nor dared to refuse. Zang Guanlin's order represented the will of the Destroyer. If they didn't go in now, they would surely be punished later.
Moreover, compared to the previous desperate situation where they could be randomly selected at any time to face Chen Fei one-on-one, the situation is now much better with the five of them working together.
"Leader!"
The five demons suppressed their unease and weighed their options, cupped their hands in unison, and spoke in chilling voices.
The next moment, five powerful demonic energies soared into the sky. Yun Qianshang, Zhai Chenfeng, Li Yitong, Mu Yanchen, and Song Lihui flashed like five black meteors tearing through the void, and stormed into the martial arts arena.
"boom!"
The terrifying aura of the five peak early-stage Sovereign Realm cultivators instantly merged into one, like five erupting ancient demonic mountains, carrying a violent will to crush and annihilate everything, pressing down on Chen Fei, who stood alone in the arena, without reservation.
The demonic energy surged to the heavens, the laws of nature wailed, and the void itself was violently distorted under the combined force of these five forces, as if it were about to collapse.
This power was far greater than that of Suo Hongtao, Xu Congfeng, and others before, enough to make any expert of the same level tremble and be intimidated before the battle even begins.
However, Chen Fei, who was at the very center of this terrifying storm, remained standing still. His robes fluttered in the turbulent energy currents, but his body remained unmoved, like an ancient reef in a raging storm.
Chen Fei's face was calm and expressionless, his eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and there was even a faint, unfathomable smile on his lips.
The combined aura that was powerful enough to crush mountains and shatter souls fell upon him as if a gentle breeze were brushing against his face, failing to cause him the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Seeing Chen Fei's nonchalant attitude, completely ignoring their combined aura, the pupils of Yun Qianshang, Zhai Chenfeng, and the other five Heavenly Demons suddenly contracted, and their expressions instantly became extremely solemn.
“His spiritual level is far superior to ours.” Yun Qianshang’s voice was dry as he transmitted his words to the other four, his tone carrying an undisguised heaviness.
"It's not just the soul..."
Li Yitong's beautiful yet cold face was covered with frost: "His control over power and his understanding of the laws have already transcended the scope of the early stage of the Dominator Realm."
A chill involuntarily rose from the hearts of the five demons, but there was no turning back once the arrow was released. They exchanged glances and saw determination and ruthlessness in each other's eyes.
"Fortunately... there are five of us." Zhai Chenfeng gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the unease in his heart. "Form the Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Formation, and kill him at all costs!"
"Buzz!"
The three-breath preparation time passed in the blink of an eye.
The rules of the martial arts arena trembled; the duel had officially begun!
"Formation!"
Yun Qianshang, Zhai Chenfeng, Li Yitong, Mu Yanchen, and Song Lihui, the five Heavenly Demons, held nothing back. Their demonic energy exploded like stars, and their aura was forcibly increased by another 50% compared to before.
Burn your very essence, fight to the death!
"Boom!"
A massive, complex, dark red demonic array, radiating an aura of overwhelming bloodlust and the howls of vengeful spirits, appeared out of thin air. Countless hideous demonic runes spread and intertwined rapidly as if alive, instantly connecting the five celestial demons together.
The Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Formation is complete!
This formation is incredibly profound. Each of the five Heavenly Demons is a key element of the formation, and their powers are perfectly connected, allowing them to combine their strengths into one, making it both offensive and defensive.
When attacked, the damage can be distributed among the five people to share the burden, making it an invincible killing formation for surrounding and killing opponents of the same level.
Not only that, Yun Qianshang roared again, and a powerful, blurry-faced phantom of the early stage of the Sovereign Realm, exuding a pressure almost comparable to Yun Qianshang's real body, condensed behind him and roared as it merged into the Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Formation.
This further enhances the power of the formation, making it equivalent to the combined strength of six early-stage Sovereign Realm experts.
Outside the training ground, all the Sovereign Realm members of the Xuan Yu Realm camp looked extremely solemn upon witnessing this scene.
“The Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Array, and the demonic shadow clones summoned from the River of Time.” Shi Ruifeng’s face was grim.
"To fight six against one... that's too dangerous!" a Sovereign Realm expert said solemnly.
On the other hand, the scene was completely different for the Heavenly Demon camp. All the Heavenly Demons were staring intently at Chen Fei in the arena, their eyes filled with cruel anticipation.
"kill him!"
"To extract and refine the souls of the fellow Daoists who just left!"
Low growls filled with hatred and killing intent echoed within the Heavenly Demon camp. They couldn't wait to see Chen Fei's blood splattered on the training ground and his soul annihilated.
Inside the martial arts arena.
The Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Array operated incessantly, emitting a breathtakingly powerful force. Countless blood lights condensed and churned within the array, locking onto the solitary purple-robed figure standing outside the array.
Chen Fei calmly swept his gaze over the demonic array that exuded murderous aura, and then looked at the phantom of the early stage of the Sovereign Realm that Yun Qianshang had condensed.
The next moment, Chen Fei's mind stirred slightly.
"Buzz!"
A mysterious and unpredictable aura, seemingly transcending the river of time, emanated from Chen Fei's body.
Beside Chen Fei, the void rippled slightly, and a figure that was completely identical to Chen Fei's original appearance, aura, and even soul fluctuations, as if it had stepped out of the past, quietly appeared.
Past incarnation!
One of Chen Fei's dominant traits, which he had never used since the start of the battle, finally manifested at this moment.
"Past life? Time-related properties!"
Upon seeing the incredibly solid figure beside Chen Fei, whose aura was identical to that of the original, the expressions of Yun Qianshang, Zhai Chenfeng, and the other five Heavenly Demons changed slightly.
They knew that Chen Fei, in the Immortal Realm, possessed the Void Treasure of Time Remnants, which allowed him to summon his past self.
However, once you reach the Dominator Realm and refine your special characteristics, the probability of these characteristics appearing will be greatly reduced once the laws of time are involved.
Those who are not exceptionally talented or possess extraordinary opportunities cannot even touch upon this. Even if they are fortunate enough to obtain the relevant inheritance, it is extremely difficult to cultivate it successfully, and they may even suffer harm instead.
But clearly, such constraints of common sense simply do not apply to a monster like Chen Fei, who cannot be fathomed by common sense.
"Kill!" Yun Qianshang roared.
A thousand blood-soaked souls, ten thousand souls devouring the heavens!
The five Heavenly Demons, along with their illusory figures, frantically activated the demonic array, unleashing countless streams of dark red blood light, containing the power to corrode the soul and annihilate life force, like a burst dam of the Styx River's blood sea.
It swept across the sky, obscuring the entire training ground, and surged towards Chen Fei from all directions, blocking all possible space for him to dodge.
Their strategy was simple: to overwhelm Chen Fei with sheer numbers and superior formations, forcing him into a direct confrontation, thus maximizing their advantages.
However, Chen Fei remained calm in the face of this destructive torrent that could instantly engulf and tear any expert of the same level to shreds.
Time jump!
Chen Fei and his past self, their figures blurred and rippled slightly, like reflections in water.
The surging, lightning-fast torrent of blood-red light around them seemed to sink into some kind of invisible swamp in an instant, its speed suddenly slowing down to an extreme level, until it froze there.
In that almost frozen moment, Chen Fei and his past self took a step forward, as if strolling leisurely, and walked out of the impenetrable encirclement of the torrent of blood.
The next moment, Chen Fei and his past self appeared outside the barrier of the Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Array.
Yun Qianshang and the other five Heavenly Demons widened their eyes slightly, completely unprepared for their attack to be so easily and effortlessly dodged by the opponent.
When Chen Fei fought against other Heavenly Demons, he didn't reveal many of his power characteristics.
Chen Fei stood outside the formation, scrutinizing the Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Formation before him, which was constantly in operation and radiated powerful energy fluctuations.
Everything returns to its source!
Chen Fei pointed his fingers like a sword and pointed at the air.
"Buzz!"
A giant bronze cauldron, with three legs and two handles, its surface imprinted with countless mysterious suppressing runes, appeared out of thin air, emanating an unparalleled aura that seemed capable of suppressing all the heavens and myriad realms and imprisoning the cycle of time and space.
"clang!"
The giant cauldron trembled slightly, emitting a deep and resonant cauldron sound that reached the very source of one's soul.
An invisible wave of suppression spread out instantly, impacting the barrier of the Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Array.
The Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Array rippled slightly, causing a wave of disturbance on the surface of the barrier. However, it quickly stabilized again as the five Heavenly Demons infused it with demonic energy.
However, this brief moment of ripples and tremors was enough for Chen Fei's Purple Extreme Divine Eye and the Insight of the Chaos Reverse Lotus.
This seemingly perfect and powerful array, its internal power flow trajectory, the nodes where laws combine, the density of energy distribution, and even its most core and most vulnerable weak point...
Everything was clearly exposed to Chen Fei's view.
The flaws are numerous!
Having already cultivated the Myriad Paths of Judgment to the Great Perfection, Chen Fei's vision, understanding of the essence of power, and insight into the application of laws far surpassed the scope of the five Heavenly Demons, including Yun Qianshang.
What they saw as an indestructible combined attack formation was, in Chen Fei's eyes, riddled with flaws.
Inside the formation, Yun Qianshang, Zhai Chenfeng, and the other five Heavenly Demons watched as Chen Fei once again summoned the bronze cauldron that exuded a heart-palpitating suppressive power, and then saw the calm smile on Chen Fei's face that seemed to know everything.
An indescribable, primal chill instantly shot from the soles of their feet to the tops of their heads.
"Shou!"
Yun Qianshang's divine sense spread throughout the surroundings, and an immense, indescribable sense of impending death completely enveloped his mind.
Without any need for discussion, the other four Heavenly Demons made the same choice at the same time.
The light of the Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Array suddenly changed, and the originally surging, overwhelming blood light that was preparing to launch another attack instantly receded rapidly like a receding tide.
Layer upon layer, they coalesced outside the array barrier, transforming into one after another thick, dark blood-red protective shield, shimmering with dense magical patterns.
Just because Chen Fei appeared outside the formation, the five powerful demons who had joined forces were so frightened that they abandoned all their attacks without hesitation and instead adopted the most extreme defensive posture.
Chen Fei's terrifying record of repeatedly defeating opponents of the same level has clearly caused them psychological trauma and pressure.
Chen Fei looked at the Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Array in front of him, which had instantly become as solid as an iron barrel with layers of defense. At the same time, he and his past self slightly bent over and slowly pulled their right fists back.
He did not use his full strength, but only used a portion of the Divine Palace's Undying Power to maintain his aura at the limit of the early stage of the Dominator Realm.
then……
"boom!"
Two terrifying fist energies, containing the power to sever all laws, like ancient divine light tearing through chaos, slammed into the outer barrier of the Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Array from the fists of Chen Fei and his past self, striking a seemingly insignificant node.
"Crack... Boom!"
A deafening, earth-shattering roar, like a precious glass mirror being smashed by a heavy hammer, suddenly erupted.
The thick, layered blood-red protective shield that Yun Qianshang and the other five Heavenly Demons had placed their hopes on was as fragile as paper in the face of those two extremely refined fist auras. It was instantly torn apart, pierced, and shattered.
The violent force of the fist continued unabated, directly striking the main barrier of the Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Array, causing the array to tremble violently, as if it were about to disintegrate.
Inside the formation, Yun Qianshang, Zhai Chenfeng, and the other four Heavenly Demons simultaneously trembled, their faces paling slightly as they felt a tremendous force passing through the formation and being distributed among them.
"blocked!"
Zhai Chenfeng suppressed the turmoil in his blood and qi, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
"Although the power is great, it is perfectly distributed and is completely within the limits of what one can bear."
"A good opportunity! Let's counterattack while he's exhausted!"
Li Yitong screamed, her hand seals shifting instantly as she prepared to activate the great formation and launch a thunderous counterattack.
However, just as the five Heavenly Demons suppressed the backlash and prepared to switch from defense to offense...
"Crack!"
An extremely faint cracking sound suddenly rang out from the core area of the Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Array.
The five demons' expressions changed drastically, and they turned around in horror.
Suddenly, a tiny black crack appeared out of nowhere within the originally smoothly functioning energy channels of the grand formation.
Yun Qianshang and the other five Heavenly Demons desperately tried to repair the crack by activating their demonic energy, but it was too late.
The crack spread and expanded wildly in an instant, covering the entire Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Array in a matter of moments.
"clang!"
Above, the illusory image of the giant bronze cauldron once again emitted a melodious and grand cauldron roar, and an even more powerful suppressive force descended with a thunderous crash.
"Boom!"
Under the desperate and horrified gazes of the five Heavenly Demons, the Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Formation let out a groan of unbearable strain, then collapsed and exploded.
Countless demonic runes broke, energy went out of control, and the tight connection between the five Heavenly Demons and the summoned Sovereign Realm phantoms was instantly severed and disappeared.
"puff!"
The five demons simultaneously coughed up blood, their eyes filled with confusion and fear.
At the very moment the Thousand Slaughter Blood Soul Array collapsed, three enormous sword arrays, formed from countless brilliant sword energies and exuding a chilling and murderous aura, suddenly appeared from the void without warning.
The five Heavenly Demons, whose forms were out of control and whose auras were disordered due to the shattering of the formation, along with the illusory figure of the Sovereign, were separated into pairs and enveloped within it.
At the same time, the void beside Chen Fei rippled once more, and a figure with the same origin as Chen Fei's main body, yet carrying a hint of the ethereal future, quietly appeared.
A being from the future, descend!
Chen Fei's true form and his future self blurred simultaneously, and the next moment, he appeared within the sword formation that imprisoned Yun Qianshang and the illusory image of the Sovereign he had summoned.
Chen Fei and his future self simultaneously pulled their right fists back, their auras highly concentrated and restrained, as if compressing the power of the entire starry sky onto their fists, causing the void around their fists to violently distort and collapse.
The next moment, he threw out both fists.
The two fist-forces, seemingly capable of piercing through galaxies and shattering eternity, instantly merged into one, transforming into a terrifying torrent that could destroy the heavens and the earth and annihilate all things.
Ignoring the illusory figure of the early-stage Dominator Realm trying to block Yun Qianshang's way, it directly locked onto Yun Qianshang's real body.
Yun Qianshang was terrified, letting out a shrill, desperate, and distorted roar. His eyes were filled with endless fear and resentment. He desperately burned his source energy, and his demonic energy erupted wildly in an attempt to resist this fatal blow.
However, everything is in vain.
"boom!"
The terrifying torrent of fist energy instantly devoured all of Yun Qianshang's struggles and defenses, tearing apart the demonic light, shattering the demonic body, and annihilating the demonic soul.
As the light faded, Yun Qianshang's aura vanished completely, his body and soul annihilated.
Along with the phantom image of the early stage of the Sovereign Realm that he summoned, it also dissipated and turned into nothingness.
The first Heavenly Demon has fallen.
"Boom!"
Within the other two sword formations, Zhai Chenfeng and Li Yitong, and Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui, were currently attacking the sword formation barriers frantically.
They witnessed Yun Qianshang's horrific death in an instant, and their survival instincts kicked in, causing them to act recklessly.
Demonic arts raged, supernatural powers bombarded indiscriminately, the sword formation trembled violently, its light flickered erratically, and cracks began to appear on its surface, as if it might collapse at any moment.
However, Chen Fei's past self stood quietly above the two sword formations, his hands forming a seal, his expression focused and calm. His vast divine soul power and Yuan power surged into the two sword formations like a vast river, constantly repairing and reinforcing the damage to the sword formations, forcibly maintaining their binding power.
The instant Yun Qianshang perished, Chen Fei's true form and his future form blurred again, appearing as if by teleportation directly within the sword formation imprisoning Zhai Chenfeng and Li Yitong.
Also, Chen Fei's past self, no longer maintaining the sword formation, appeared beside Chen Fei's main body.
Without any unnecessary words, Chen Fei's original body, future body, and past body simultaneously launched an extremely powerful attack.
An even more terrifying fist aura tore through the void and slammed into Zhai Chenfeng and Li Yitong.
The demons have corrupted the world!
Nine Netherworlds Protect You!
Zhai Chenfeng and Li Yitong let out desperate and frantic roars, desperately unleashing their strongest defensive divine abilities, burning their demonic energy to the extreme in an attempt to resist this unavoidable fatal blow.
"Boom!"
A deafening, terrifying roar exploded within the sword formation, unleashing a raging energy storm.
"puff!"
Zhai Chenfeng and Li Yitong were struck as if by a heavy blow, simultaneously spitting out mouthfuls of demonic blood. Their demonic armor shattered inch by inch, and their aura plummeted wildly like an avalanche, indicating that they were already seriously injured.
But thanks to their combined strength and desperate defense, they managed to withstand the combined attack and were not instantly killed.
"break!"
At the same time, within another sword formation, Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui seized the moment when their past selves' power was restrained and unleashed a deafening roar.
The two demons joined forces to unleash a bizarre bone blade burning with primordial demonic fire, slashing fiercely at the weak point of the sword formation barrier.
"Crack!"
The sword formation finally gave way and shattered with a deafening roar.
Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui broke free and, without hesitation, transformed into two raging beams of demonic light, charging madly towards the sword formation where Zhai Chenfeng and Li Yitong were located, attempting to rescue them.
And it was at this moment...
"Buzz!"
Chen Fei's future self, due to the expiration of the time limit, became blurred and transparent, and finally completely dissipated into the world.
Seeing their future selves dissipate, and with Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui about to arrive, a glimmer of hope involuntarily flashed in the eyes of the severely injured Zhai Chenfeng and Li Yitong.
However, just as this hope began to rise—
As his future self dissipated, a pure and powerful force from the future instantly fed back into Chen Fei's body. This was one of the characteristics of time resonance. The dissipation of his future self increased his body's combat power by 10%, lasting for one breath.
Chen Fei's already powerful aura suddenly surged even higher.
Chen Fei calmly looked at the heavily injured Zhai Chenfeng and Li Yitong, as well as Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui who were rushing towards him. He and his past self took a step forward at the same time and threw another punch.
"No!"
The hope in Zhai Chenfeng and Li Yitong's eyes instantly turned into utter despair and fear. They tried desperately to resist, but their severely injured bodies were simply unable to muster enough strength.
In the distance, Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui were furious, their eyes bloodshot, and they roared wildly, but it was too late to come to their rescue.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two dull but deadly thuds.
The fist's energy pierced through Zhai Chenfeng and Li Yitong's hastily erected defenses without any hindrance, and slammed into their demonic bodies.
Zhai Chenfeng and Li Yitong's screams and roars only lasted halfway before abruptly stopping.
Their demonic bodies melted, disintegrated, and turned to ashes instantly, just like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun, their souls and true spirits annihilated along with them.
The second and third Heavenly Demons have fallen!
In an instant, the situation of the five Heavenly Demons joining forces and launching a fierce attack took a sharp turn for the worse.
Inside the training ground, only Mu Yanchen and Song Lihui, who had just arrived, were left, only to watch helplessly as their companion died.
With three out of five gone, the advantage has vanished.
Outside the training ground, all was deathly silent.
