Chapter 1956 Supreme Creation
At the summit of the main peak of Tianxuan Sect, in a courtyard shrouded in clouds.
Venerable Tianxuan, dressed in a plain robe, stood by the railing, his gaze piercing through the layers of clouds and mist, landing on the surging demonic energy in the distant sky, which grew increasingly dense and almost dyed half the sky black. His brows were furrowed, and his face was shrouded in an unyielding solemnity.
The sudden attack by the Heavenly Demon, with its ferocity and unwavering determination, truly disrupted his plans with the entire Xuan Yu Realm Cultivation Alliance, plunging them into an unprecedentedly passive situation.
For many years, although the two sides have been fighting each other, the extraterrestrial demons, with their advantages, seem to be carrying out a leisurely "harvest," slowly eroding the origin of the Xuan Yu Realm. They do not seem to be in a hurry to finish the job in one battle, as if they are waiting for something or are afraid of some kind of price.
On the Xuan Yu Realm side, their strength was already at a disadvantage, so they were naturally happy to maintain this fragile balance, to catch their breath, secretly accumulate power, and even harbor a trace of inexplicable luck deep in their hearts.
Over time, the clashes between the two sides at the Dominator Realm level have developed into a tacit understanding, with battles mainly between opponents of the same level and rarely involving high-level crushing and encirclement killings.
For the Heavenly Demons, pointless losses are not worthwhile; for the Xuan Yu Realm, preserving every ruler is a precious spark.
However, at this moment, this fragile balance that had been maintained for so long was completely shattered. The Heavenly Demon, contrary to its usual behavior, launched a fierce and frenzied attack, completely disregarding its own losses.
In just a few days, they broke through several lines of defense, overthrew several major sects, and lost more than five Sovereign Realm cultivators. Their advance was aimed directly at the last core territory of the Tianxuan Domain.
This is by no means an ordinary tactical adjustment; it is more like a strategic all-out offensive.
“Those demon cubs must have sensed some imminent threat, so they chose to fight quickly and decisively, even at the cost of injury or death, in order to achieve their goal as quickly as possible.”
A calm, serene voice, yet imbued with an ancient and desolate aura, emanated from behind, breaking the silence of the courtyard.
A slightly ethereal figure, yet upright and sturdy like a pine tree, quietly appeared. It was none other than Di Tianling, the ancient celestial envoy who had descended upon this world with a wisp of divine thought using a special secret method.
"threaten?"
Venerable Tianxuan slowly turned around, his deep gaze falling on Di Tianling's blurred face, his tone filled with incomprehension and heaviness:
"They have always maintained an absolute advantage. What in the Xuan Yu Realm can threaten them? What could possibly make them so impatient and willing to pay any price?"
"Even I, Di, could not fathom all the secrets of heaven."
Di Tianling shook his head slightly, a barely perceptible glint flashing in his illusory eyes:
"The way of destiny is mysterious and unpredictable. Perhaps they have glimpsed some unfavorable variable in the future in the long river of fate, or perhaps there have been changes within them that we cannot know about. But their resolute attitude has been revealed without reservation."
Di Tianling paused slightly, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over the distant battlefield, before continuing:
"However, if we talk about the biggest variable in the Xuan Yu Realm in recent years, it has to be Chen Fei who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. This boy is indeed an anomaly. If he hadn't risen up unexpectedly and single-handedly broken through the Xuan Ranking and the Di Ranking, regained some of the power of heaven and earth, and greatly slowed down the speed and scope of the demonic energy's erosion, I'm afraid... these heavenly demons would have already launched a full-scale attack, and the situation would be far more devastated than it is now."
When Chen Fei was mentioned, a complex mix of admiration and regret flashed in Venerable Tianxuan's eyes, and he slowly nodded.
Indeed, Chen Fei's appearance was like a thunderbolt tearing through the sky in the long, dark night, bringing immeasurable changes and hope. The battle for the Earth Ranking severely dampened the Heavenly Demon's spirit and boosted the morale of their own side.
"This child is indeed a once-in-a-millennium genius, possessing immense fortune and unpredictable abilities... What a pity, what a pity..."
Venerable Tianxuan sighed softly, his voice tinged with helplessness:
"His rise to power has been too short, and his cultivation is only at the initial stage of the Dominator Realm. Faced with such a powerful and all-encompassing force that threatens the survival of a realm, even with extraordinary abilities, his personal strength is ultimately... insufficient to defy fate."
Growth takes time, and what the Xuan Yu Realm lacks most is precisely time.
"Yes, time... is indeed the greatest enemy."
Di Tianling echoed, but then subtly changed the subject, his tone becoming meaningful: "So, Venerable One, what have you thought about my previous proposal? The situation is changing rapidly, and it seems we can no longer afford to hesitate any longer."
Venerable Tianxuan's gaze sharpened as he stared directly at Di Tianling: "Your ancient Heavenly Court... still insists on the original conditions, demanding half of the Xuanyu Realm's territory?"
Venerable Tianxuan clearly remembered the almost harsh demands Di Tianling made when he first appeared. He helped Di Tianling become the master of the Xuanyu Realm, but the price was that he ceded half of the realm's territory and origin to the rule of the ancient Heavenly Court.
Upon hearing this, Di Tianling slowly shook his head, a sincere smile appearing on his face:
"No, Your Excellency. Times have changed, and conditions are naturally different. After reporting the true state of Xuan Yu Realm to the Heavenly Court, I have made a new decision after careful consideration."
Di Tianling leaned slightly forward with his illusory body, his voice low:
"The Heavenly Court only requires the Xuan Yu Realm to nominally belong to the Ancient Heavenly Court, becoming a subordinate plane under its jurisdiction. However, Your Excellency must swear an oath of loyalty to the Heavenly Court for ten thousand years with your own Great Dao."
If these two conditions are met, the Heavenly Court will provide full assistance to help you eliminate the demonic threat and truly ascend to the position of ruler of the Xuan Yu Realm. At that time, the allocation of resources and the governance of living beings within the realm will be entirely up to you, and the Heavenly Court will not interfere excessively.
How about it? These conditions are far more favorable than before.
Upon hearing this, Venerable Tianxuan's expression shifted slightly, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
Is it merely nominal subordination, coupled with one's own eternal loyalty?
These conditions are indeed much better than directly ceding half of the territory and its origins.
Why did the ancient Heavenly Court suddenly make such a huge concession?
Were the previous conditions just casually proposed without any intention of getting a response? Is lowering the demands now making it easier for him to agree?
Or perhaps the situation of the ancient Heavenly Court on the original continent has undergone some unknown changes, and it urgently needs to absorb fresh blood to cope with the crisis?
Countless thoughts flashed through Venerable Tianxuan's mind as he weighed the pros and cons and the potential traps lurking behind him. But in the end, the precarious battle situation before him and the constant stream of bad news crushed all his hesitation like a heavy boulder.
Regardless of the ancient Heavenly Court's purpose, this is indeed, at present, the only path that could potentially reverse the defeat and even turn the tide of battle.
Faced with the main force of the Heavenly Demons led by the Destroyer, and the increasingly violent and seemingly endless demonic tide, the Heavenly Profound Venerable had to admit deep down that the Xuan Yu Realm's current strength alone was not enough to turn the tide... the hope was extremely slim.
"only……"
Suppressing his inner turmoil, Venerable Tianxuan raised the most crucial practical question:
"Even if your Heavenly Court were willing to bestow upon us a stronger cultivation technique, with the great war now in full swing and flames raging everywhere, there simply isn't enough time to calmly cultivate and comprehend it."
At his level of cultivation, every breakthrough requires years of accumulation and natural enlightenment; it cannot be achieved overnight with the help of elixirs or external forces.
"Hehe, Your Excellency is overthinking it."
Di Tianling seemed to have anticipated this question, and his smile widened, radiating a sense of complete control.
"Since the Heavenly Court has decided to provide full assistance, it will naturally make thorough preparations. In addition to the 'Haotian Scripture,' which points directly to the origin of the Great Dao, it will also bestow upon the Venerable One a Chaos Pearl."
"Chaos beads?"
A terrifying light suddenly flashed in Venerable Tianxuan's eyes. In the origin of the Xuanyu Realm, one could often obtain some incomplete information about the Primordial Continent. This information came from the great power who had transformed into the Xuanyu Realm.
Therefore, Venerable Tianxuan knew that the Chaos Pearl was a rare innate object containing a wisp of primordial chaos, which had unimaginable miraculous effects on comprehending the Great Dao, breaking through bottlenecks, and even reshaping one's foundation.
"With the help of this pearl, given your accumulated knowledge and exceptional talent, Your Excellency, you will surely be able to grasp the essence of things in a very short time and make rapid progress in your strength. At that time, as long as you can directly withstand the Destroyer, blunt his edge, the Heavenly Demon's offensive will be thwarted, giving you a precious chance to catch your breath, and perhaps even... turn the tide of the battle!"
Di Tianling's voice was full of confidence and undeniable allure.
Venerable Tianxuan lowered his gaze. After a long while, he slowly raised his head, the last trace of hesitation in his eyes turning into resolute determination. He said in a deep voice, "Alright! I agree."
If we cannot withstand the Destroyer, all will perish, and the Xuan Yu Realm will be doomed. Now, the moment has truly arrived when there is no other choice but to take a desperate gamble.
Seeing that Venerable Tianxuan finally nodded, an extremely bright and profound smile appeared on Di Tianling's illusory face:
"A wise choice, Your Excellency will never regret it. The cultivation technique and the Chaos Pearl will soon be delivered through special means. I wish Your Excellency a speedy success in sweeping away the demonic calamity and restoring order to the world!"
Just as Venerable Tianxuan reached a secret agreement with Di Tianling, the situation within the Xuanyu Realm continued to deteriorate at an alarming rate.
Even before their mountain gates were breached, countless small and medium-sized sects, along with their families, rushed towards the Tianxuan Sect like a panicked tide, seeking refuge.
The journey was filled with lurking demons and constant battles, a truly horrific scene.
With the Tianxuan Sect at its core, the other top forces in the Xuanyu Realm finally abandoned all wishful thinking and territorial disputes, and began to fully retreat, gathering their most elite forces to jointly build the final line of defense.
Years of preparations for dealing with the demonic calamity were put into action, countless resources were invested, massive array nodes were lit up one after another, and dazzling and resilient defensive light curtains were painstakingly stretched across the sky and earth, attempting to block the overwhelming demonic tide.
Although the sudden attack by the Heavenly Demon caused heavy initial losses and torn apart the defenses in many places, the foundation was still intact. Once they truly abandoned illusions and started operating at full capacity, the situation was finally stabilized, and the worst scenario of a complete collapse was avoided.
At the same time, the Sovereign Realm experts of the Tianxuan Sect also changed their relatively conservative defensive strategy and began to take the initiative to attack.
They joined forces with other powerful factions to form elite hunting squads. Leveraging their familiarity with the terrain and using formations for cover, they conducted guerrilla warfare, seeking out isolated or poorly defended Heavenly Demon Lords for surprise attacks and decapitations.
For a time, they did achieve some results, slightly slowing down the overall advance of the Heavenly Demon Army and boosting morale a bit.
However, the overall situation remains as precarious as a dilapidated building in a storm, and the outlook is far from optimistic.
The Heavenly Demons still held an absolute advantage in strength, with their main force intact. Moreover, the raging tide of demonic energy that enveloped the heavens and earth and corroded all things not only did not weaken, but under the drive of some unknown force, it became even more turbulent, constantly eroding and polluting the spiritual energy of the Xuan Yu Realm, greatly suppressing the cultivators' ability to recover and continue fighting.
The Martial Arts Arena of All Realms, the Arena of Life and Death.
Chen Fei's figure once again emerged from a recently quiet arena.
The crimson aura surrounding it had reached an astonishing twenty-seven strands, like twenty-seven ferocious, roaring blood-red dragons, swirling and circling, emanating a terrifying killing intent that chilled the heart.
Twenty-seven consecutive wins!
Since killing Yan Cong, who possessed a complete Xuan Yuan Dao Foundation, in the ninth match, Chen Fei's subsequent opponents have all been extremely powerful.
Without exception, they all cultivated the Profound Origin Dao Foundation to a flawless state. Some of them even touched the edge of the Earth Origin Dao Foundation after successfully cultivating the Profound Origin Dao Foundation.
In any other plane of existence, it would be considered an invincible existence among those of the same level.
However, it was still no match for Chen Fei, who had cultivated the Divine Palace to perfection, whose physical strength and combat power were at the peak of the mid-stage of the Dominator Realm, and whose control over power was extremely precise.
The battle process may not always be as simple as before, after all, Chen Fei was seeing many secret techniques for the first time, and sometimes it would take ten or eight moves, but the final result was always a foregone conclusion.
Chen Fei's performance was so consistent it was almost despair-inducing.
As his winning streak continued to increase, Chen Fei clearly felt that the invisible fortune bestowed upon him by the Martial Arts Arena of the Myriad Realms was becoming more and more powerful and abundant.
The blessing of fortune from this martial arts arena is different from the fortune that Chen Fei plundered himself; it brings a more mysterious and precious benefit.
His understanding of the rules of heaven and earth, his comprehension and integration of the various techniques and supernatural powers he had cultivated, and even his deduction and innovation of supernatural powers and optimization of the efficiency of power application, all became clearer, smoother and more efficient than ever before.
Many obstacles that previously required deep thought and a great deal of time to understand can now be suddenly cleared up with a flash of inspiration, and all sorts of wonderful insights come one after another.
This change made Chen Fei realize the real reason why so many geniuses and demonic cultivators who had already cultivated to the peak of the Profound Origin Dao Foundation, or even higher, still risked great dangers and stepped onto the life-and-death arena to engage in duels.
It's not just about the hard currencies like Origin Points and Mystic Crystals, but also about vying for the even more precious blessing of consecutive wins bestowed by this martial arts arena.
This blessing is truly an unparalleled treasure for enlightenment.
It can greatly enhance a cultivator's "comprehension" and "Dao affinity" limits. Perhaps your original aptitude limit was the Profound Origin Dao Foundation, but under the impetus and baptism of a massive amount of winning streak luck, you may suddenly have a flash of inspiration, glimpse the threshold of the Earth Origin Dao Foundation, and even eventually master it.
Those who have achieved the Earthly Dao Foundation also have the hope of using this immense fortune to unlock the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao Foundation.
This is undoubtedly a perilous path filled with bloodshed and death, a path where one is on the verge of certain death, yet it also contains the supreme opportunity to transcend oneself and ascend to the heavens in one step.
It's enough to drive countless geniuses crazy, making them risk everything.
The path of cultivation is inherently against the will of Heaven, a struggle against fate, against destiny, and against human connections!
Exploring other unknown dimensions to discover secret realms and seek opportunities is equally fraught with danger, life and death are unpredictable, and the rewards are often highly uncertain, which may not be as good as the stable and amazing winning streak boost from this martial arts arena.
Therefore, even knowing that the arena of life and death is extremely cruel and that there is a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, countless powerful people still step onto this blood-stained arena like moths to a flame, risking their lives and their path, just to compete for that one chance to surpass their own limits and reach a higher peak.
Although Chen Fei possesses a panel that simplifies cultivation and ignores bottlenecks, eliminating the need for this fortune to forcibly break through barriers, the immense fortune of enlightenment bestowed upon him is by no means harmful.
This allowed Chen Fei to reach a more refined and comprehensive level in terms of his control over his own power, his adaptability and innovation in dealing with enemies, and his practice of the concept of the origin of all laws.
As his consciousness sank into the Void Realm, Chen Fei looked at the mountains of Immortal Mystic Crystals, which shone with dazzling brilliance and were almost forming a vast river of Mystic Crystals. A smile involuntarily appeared on Chen Fei's lips.
More than seven million Immortal Mystic Crystals!
This is such an outrageous number that it would make any powerful figure in the Dominator Realm envious, and might even trigger a bloodbath.
If it weren't for the rules of the martial arts arena, the maximum bet for a single match in the early stages of the Dominator Realm is 300,000 Immortal Crystals. With Chen Fei's terrifying record of 27 consecutive victories, he would probably have already exceeded 10 million Immortal Crystals by now.
However, seven million is enough; it's a massive amount!
From now on, Chen Fei will probably never again be unable to simplify the cultivation of his newly acquired techniques and supernatural abilities due to a lack of resources or Xuanjing. This clears a major resource obstacle for his future path.
After a moment's thought, Chen Fei turned his gaze away and returned to the trading area of the martial arts arena square.
Chen Fei found the exchange orb and, without hesitation, exchanged five million Immortal Mystic Crystals for five hundred thousand Dao Crystals.
The exchange ratio is 10 to 1, but in reality, the energy purity and instant recovery effect contained in Dao Crystal are only about three times that of Immortal Mystic Crystal.
For daily cultivation at the fifteenth level, using Dao Crystals is actually somewhat extravagant and unnecessary, since Immortal Mystic Crystals are already more than enough.
Chen Fei exchanged them not for daily cultivation, but for high-intensity battles, for the final battle that could break out at any time in the Xuan Yu Realm.
Dao Crystals can provide far more abundant and pure energy than Xuan Crystals in a very short time. For high-intensity, high-consumption, and continuous battles, they are an excellent rapid replenishment. It is better to be prepared than not, and Chen Fei must prepare for the worst-case scenario.
After exchanging the items, Chen Fei turned around and prepared to head to the Life and Death Arena again. He needed to quickly accumulate the thirty-two Source Points required to save the Xuan Yu Realm.
However, just as Chen Fei took a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
A faint yet exceptionally clear resonance of the soul emanated from the darkness.
"Is it the Night Demon Warrior left in the secret chamber of the Heart Forging Residence?" Chen Fei frowned instantly. It was something he had deliberately left behind before leaving the Xuan Yu Realm, to receive information in case of emergency.
Something happened in the Xuan Yu Realm?
Without any hesitation, Chen Fei's figure blurred instantly, and the next moment, he vanished directly onto the plaza of the Myriad Realms Martial Arts Arena.
Tianxuan Sect, Forging Peak, Heart Casting Abode Secret Chamber.
As the space rippled slightly, Chen Fei's figure suddenly appeared. He glanced at the Night Demon Warrior beside him, reached out and touched it, and the warrior transformed into a stream of light that merged into his body.
Chen Fei strode out of the secret chamber and saw Chang Xiwen, as well as the two elders of the Illusionary Sect, Le Boyang and Kuang Lingyun, waiting in the courtyard. Their faces were all extremely solemn, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.
"Chen Fei, you've come out of seclusion at just the right time."
Upon seeing Chen Fei, Chang Xiwen immediately stepped forward, her tone urgent and solemn, "The situation on the outskirts of Tianxuan Domain is deteriorating rapidly. According to the Venerable's decree, all Sovereign Realm warriors must go into battle and must not disobey."
After saying that, Chang Xiwen flicked his finger, and a ball of light containing a lot of information flew toward Chen Fei. It contained detailed information about the recent frenzied attacks by the Heavenly Demons and their destruction of several sects.
Chen Fei scanned the area with his divine sense, his brows furrowing. The speed and extent of the deterioration of the situation far exceeded his expectations.
"This is a very important matter. We will be participating in an operation. The operation plan is confidential for now. We will be leaving in fifteen minutes."
Le Boyang added in a deep voice that his and Kuang Lingyun's breathing was still somewhat uneven, obviously their old injuries had not yet healed, but there was no time for them to heal now.
"I understand!"
Chen Fei took a deep breath and nodded. "I will go with you all in a quarter of an hour."
Chen Fei finally understood where the inexplicable unease and sense of urgency he felt in the training ground came from; the source was right there.
A quarter of an hour later.
Chen Fei, along with Le Boyang, Kuang Lingyun, and Chang Xiwen, joined thirteen Sovereign Realm experts from Tianxuan Sect and other sects.
The leader of the team was Su Mingchuan, an elder of the Tianxuan Sect, a peak Sovereign Realm expert, and one of the main pillars of the Tianxuan Sect's combat power besides the Tianxuan Venerable.
The crowd silently gathered on a secluded mountain peak shrouded in an array behind the Tianxuan Sect, where the atmosphere was extremely tense and solemn.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Elder Su Mingchuan's eyes flashed like lightning as he swept over the crowd. A highly refined divine thought entered the ears of each Sovereign Realm expert: "We have just received definite intelligence that eight Heavenly Demon Sovereigns are about to launch a sneak attack on a key defensive node in our Realm's Luoyang area. Our mission is to intercept and kill them halfway."
Our comrades in the Luoyang region will also launch a simultaneous attack, working together from within and without, to ensure that all of these demonic brats are captured and none are left alive!
Only then did everyone learn the specifics of the operation.
A surprise counterattack carries enormous risks, but if successful, it would undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Heavenly Demons and temporarily alleviate the pressure from the front.
A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of all the Sovereigns present, but there was no objection.
A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat; sometimes, offense is the best form of defense.
"Set off."
Elder Su Mingchuan let out a low shout and transformed into a dazzling stream of light, soaring into the sky and tearing through the clouds.
The remaining twelve Sovereign Realm experts followed closely behind, streaking across the sky as they sped towards the Luoyang area.
However, the team had only flown a few million miles, still far from the sunset area.
"Boom!"
A deafening tremor suddenly came from the outer core defense line, tens of millions of miles away.
A violent, chaotic energy shockwave, filled with destructive power and mixed with overwhelming demonic energy, rushed towards them like a tangible tsunami, even from such a distance, causing Chen Fei and the other speeding Dominator Realm experts to suddenly stop.
"not good."
"It's the Rock Line..."
"The information is wrong!"
Elder Su Mingchuan's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and he shouted sharply, "Turn around!"
There was no need for any interception; the main force of the Heavenly Demons had already launched a thunderous attack on their newly established outer defenses.
The fourteen streaks of light instantly changed direction and rushed madly toward the core area of the energy storm from the explosion.
In just over ten breaths, the group had traversed tens of millions of miles and arrived at the area that had been transformed into a purgatory.
Chen Fei steadied himself and looked ahead. He saw that in the void ahead, demonic energy was like a vast ocean, obscuring the sky and the sun.
Nearly a hundred figures of Heavenly Demon Sovereigns, exuding overwhelming demonic power, stood in the sea of demons like demon gods emerging from the deepest hell. Their icy killing intent and violent aura intertwined, almost freezing and crushing the entire void!
