Chapter 1924 utterly vulnerable (4K)
Within the Earth Ranking Space, after a deathly silence of shock, came a tsunami of uproar and disbelief.
"This Xing Feng can actually summon the mark of this being?"
"The remnants of time summoning historical figures requires the permission of the original being, and the Destroyer actually agreed?"
All the cultivators and Yuanmo Immortal Realm cultivators watching the battle were filled with shock and awe. The Destruction Venerable, the top of the Heavenly Ranking, was a figure of profound majesty. In the past, no Heavenly Demon had ever been able to summon his historical figure.
There's only one explanation for Xing Feng's successful summoning: it was the will of the Destroyer himself. Just like when Meng Xinluo, ranked fifth on the Heavenly Ranking, appeared outside the Illusion Gate, his purpose was to kill Chen Fei.
The main variable is Chen Fei, who has put tremendous pressure on the Heavenly Demon side, even though Chen Fei is currently only at the Immortal Realm and has not even reached the Dominator Realm.
But it is certain that what Chen Fei is doing now has a greater impact than many powerhouses at the Dominator Realm.
Countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the spectators. The fact that the Destroyer could ascend to the top of the Heavenly Ranking meant that his talent, his foundation, and his combat power must be unprecedented.
By reasoning backwards, how could the Destroyer be an ordinary person at the limit of the Immortal Realm? More likely, at that level, he was already a peerless being who swept aside his contemporaries and stood among billions of immortals, and the power of his immortal body far exceeded the imagination of ordinary Earth Ranking experts.
On the training ground, Xing Feng's scarlet demonic eyes were fixed on Chen Fei, trying to catch the slightest trace of panic, fear, or solemnity from the other's face.
However, Xing Feng was disappointed. Chen Fei's gaze swept over the blurry demonic figure that exuded a chilling aura of destruction. Only a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes before his gaze returned to its deep and calm state, without any further ripples.
This almost indifferent calm instantly enraged Xing Feng. He snorted coldly in his heart, and the power within his body began to circulate wildly.
"Buzz!"
A figure, as black as ink, twisted and unpredictable, exuding a dense aura of death and resentment, suddenly struggled to emerge from behind Xing Feng.
This is a remnant soul at the limit of the Immortal Realm, whose wisdom has been forcibly erased, leaving only the purest fighting instincts and immense power.
The remnant soul let out a silent roar, but instead of attacking Chen Fei, it lunged in the opposite direction, as if merging into the shadows, and clung tightly to Xing Feng's own back, instantly becoming one with his demonic body.
Xing Feng let out a low roar that was a mixture of pain and a surge of power. The immense, deathly power contained in the remnant soul surged into his limbs and bones like a flood bursting its banks.
Xing Feng's physique visibly bulged and swelled, and the dark red demonic patterns on his body surface writhed violently like living things, emitting an even more dangerous and violent aura. The pressure around him instantly surged again, rising steadily.
The rules of the Earth Ranking Deathmatch are strict, prohibiting any form of living being other than the two challengers from intervening. Even puppets with intelligence, even if their intelligence is incomplete, are prohibited.
While combat puppets that rely solely on mechanical creation techniques to build up power and lack any intelligence may achieve the power of immortality, they have significant drawbacks.
They lack adaptability, are easily deceived by profound illusions, and may even go out of control and turn against their masters due to rule conflicts or energy backlash. In the battles between top powerhouses like those on the Earth Ranking, their role is limited, and they may even become weaknesses.
The remnant soul at the limit of the Immortal Realm that Xing Feng is using at this moment is a trick.
The remnant soul's intelligence has been completely erased, leaving only power and fighting instincts. It cannot be considered a living being, but barely meets the rules. However, controlling such a remnant soul requires guiding and controlling it with one's own divine soul as the core, like controlling a raging beast. This consumes a great deal of mental energy, and one is constantly subjected to the erosion of its deathly power.
With Xing Feng's abilities, controlling one spirit is already the limit. If he were to be greedy for more, his soul would collapse in an instant, leading to his own destruction.
Xing Feng's actions did not stop. In the next instant after the remnant soul possessed him and his aura surged, the space around him slightly distorted, and a figure that was almost identical to his original body, also wearing dark red demonic armor, holding the Blood Prison Demon Blade, and exuding a powerful fluctuation of the ultimate demonic energy of the Immortal Realm, appeared.
A clone, and a clone with the same cultivation level as the original body!
Outside the training ground, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd, and countless spectators were filled with shock!
"A clone? When did this Blade Demon create such a clone?"
"I've never seen him use it in the battles for the Earth Rankings. He's really good at hiding it!"
"It must have been recently condensed at great cost with the full support of the Heavenly Demon Sovereign, and its purpose is to deal with Chen Fei's challenge!"
Condensing and maintaining an avatar at the limit of the Immortal Realm is extremely costly, requiring a massive amount of resources. Even if an ordinary peak Immortal Realm expert were to go bankrupt, it would be difficult to achieve.
But at this moment, with the Heavenly Demon Sovereign as his backer, the issue of resources is no longer an obstacle for Xing Feng.
However, the drawbacks of having multiple clones are not limited to this.
To ensure absolute control and prevent the clone from developing disloyalty or even turning against the original, the clone's soul must be incomplete. This results in the clone having the same form and a similar cultivation level, but its actual combat strength and adaptability are usually inferior to the original.
Furthermore, the main body and the clone are connected by soul, and if one is damaged, the other will also be damaged. If the clone is captured or corrupted by the opponent using special means, the main body will also be affected, and may even be targeted for a fatal blow.
This is a double-edged sword!
Despite its drawbacks, having an additional clone with Earth-Rank combat power in this life-or-death battle undoubtedly enhances Xing Feng's overall strength.
Even if that clone was slightly weaker, it was still far superior to ordinary peak Immortal Realm cultivators, and was enough to pose a substantial threat and restraint to Chen Fei.
In an instant, the pressure Chen Fei faced increased dramatically. If the illusory image of the Destruction Venerable Immortal Body, which hung high in the air and exuded a suffocating aura of destruction, was added to the mix, it would be equivalent to facing the siege of three Earth Ranking experts. The situation instantly became extremely dire.
Almost at the same moment the clone appeared, Xing Feng flicked his sleeves.
"Boo! Hah! Hah!"
A large number of talismans radiating various evil and demonic lights shot out like a storm, not attacking Chen Fei, but like rivers flowing into the sea, all of them entered Xing Feng's main body and clone, causing their auras to rise again and their demonic power to intensify.
Immediately afterwards, three miniature array disks, completely black and etched with intricate magical patterns, flew out, intertwining, colliding, and merging in the air!
"Boom!"
A fourteenth-order supreme-grade array, the Night Demon Array, covering an area of a thousand miles and woven from countless dark and demonic runes, was instantly formed! The dark and viscous array light curtain flowed, firmly protecting Xing Feng, his clone, and the illusory image of the Destroyer.
This approach is exactly the same as the one used by Yanli before, forcibly raising the state with a massive number of talismans, and instantly forming an array with a specially made miniature array plate to build a powerful defense.
Although Chen Fei shattered the Nightmare's array with a single hammer blow, this did not mean that the talismans and array plates were useless; it simply meant that Chen Fei's combat power was far beyond what was expected.
The moment the Night Demon Formation was formed, Xing Feng and his clone had already pushed their power to its peak.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two heavy, powerful thumping sounds, seemingly emanating from the deepest part of the Nine Nether Blood Sea, resounded throughout the training ground like war drums of destruction.
Within Xing Feng and his clone, the Void Treasure - Boundless Blood Sea Origin Embryo suddenly erupted, and two enormous, dark red heart phantoms, formed from extremely concentrated blood sea essence and void energy, flashed and disappeared behind them.
An endless, viscous, scarlet ocean of blood, exuding a monstrous aura of bloodlust and resentment, surged forth from beneath Xing Feng and his clone like a burst dam, instantly engulfing the entire Night Demon Array.
The blood surged to the sky, the demonic howls echoed, and the thick stench of blood almost solidified into a tangible substance!
Void Treasure Trove: Myriad Transformations Blood God Child!
Within the sea of blood, countless blood-red figures, condensed from pure blood demon essence, with blurred and distorted faces and empty, bloodthirsty eyes, rose and fell, struggling and roaring.
Each Blood God Child possesses a portion of the original body's power and a strange immortality. As long as the Blood Sea exists, they can continuously regenerate and attack enemies, making them extremely difficult to deal with!
Void Treasure Trove: Blood Sea Reincarnation Palace!
An ancient palace phantom, constructed from pale skeletons and filthy demonic blood, floats half-submerged in the depths of a sea of blood. Its doors are wide open, seemingly leading to an endless purgatory, exuding a terrifying defensive aura that is indestructible and impervious to all laws.
Void Treasure Trove: Blood Eye of Return to Nothingness!
A crack appeared between the eyebrows of Xing Feng's main body and his clone, and a cold, ruthless, scarlet blood eye that seemed to be able to see through the essence of all things and absorb the life essence suddenly opened.
With a single glance, one can invisibly ignite the opponent's blood and qi, or drag their soul into an endless blood sea illusion to suffer endless torment. Furthermore, one can discern the opponent's power trajectory and perceive their weaknesses and flaws.
Void Treasure Trove: Blood Sea Without End Escape!
Xing Feng and his clone instantly merged with the boundless sea of blood beneath their feet, becoming one. As long as the sea of blood remained undried, they could instantly transform into it with a thought, escaping thousands of miles, unpredictable and difficult to capture or lock onto.
Void Treasure Trove: The Dark Night of Death!
On the blades of the Blood Prison Demon Blade in the hands of Xing Feng and his clone, a pure blackness that devours all light and seems capable of ending all things and annihilating cause and effect quietly spreads and covers them.
This hidden power contains the terrifying rule of "severance." When the blade is drawn, it specifically severs karmic causes and effects, cutting off the cause and severing the effect. It is extremely dangerous and impossible to defend against.
From the start of the life-or-death battle to this moment, in the blink of an eye, Xing Feng has already shown no mercy, revealing all his trump cards and elevating his state to an unprecedented peak.
Xing Feng suddenly looked up, his Void Blood Eye and Scarlet Demon Eye staring at Chen Fei, the killing intent in his eyes already solidified into a tangible form, almost bursting forth as blood flames.
That pure, cold, relentless will to destroy was so intense that the surrounding laws of heaven and earth began to wail, twist, and tremble, as if this space itself could not withstand the terrifying power that was about to erupt.
Faced with Xing Feng's terrifying lineup, which was enough to make many Earth Ranking experts despair, and his layered, all-encompassing defense, Chen Fei's face showed no sign of solemnity; instead, a faint smile appeared on his face.
With a slight thought, Chen Fei activated the Void Secret Treasury - Sovereign Imprint!
"Buzz!"
The phantom of the Heaven-Opening Hammer, a divine weapon of supreme power, flowed with purple-gold divine light, its hammerhead resembling an ancient divine mountain, and entwined with the supreme meaning of creating the world and destroying all paths, instantly appeared in Chen Fei's palm.
Chen Fei didn't bother to look at Xing Feng, who exuded an overwhelming aura and was on high alert. Instead, he glanced at the Night Demon Array light screen that enveloped the heavens and the earth and casually swung the Heaven-Opening Hammer in his hand.
The movements were light and casual, as if brushing away the dust before one's eyes.
"boom!"
A colossal hammer shadow, formed from the condensation of purple-gold divine light, appeared out of thin air, carrying terrifying power capable of shattering stars and tearing apart countless paths. It crashed directly down upon the Night Demon Array light screen, which flowed with viscous shadows and exuded the aura of a fourteenth-tier supreme grade.
"boom!"
There were no earth-shattering explosions, no stalemates in the confrontation!
The Night Demon Array light barrier, which seemed indestructible and could leave many peak Immortal Realm cultivators helpless, was so fragile and vulnerable under the shadow of the Heaven-Opening Hammer.
Instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, it then exploded with a deafening roar, turning into countless flying shadow fragments, which were then completely annihilated by the sweeping waves of blood and the aftershocks of the hammer wind, disappearing without a trace.
With an extremely casual strike, the fourteenth-tier top-grade defensive array, the Night Demon Array, vanished into thin air!
"..."
Outside the arena, a deathly silence fell instantly, and many Immortal Realm experts watching the battle couldn't help but widen their eyes.
It's not surprising that Chen Fei shattered a fourteenth-order top-grade array; he had already done so when he killed the Nightmare Demon.
But that hammer blow just now was far too casual; it was unclear how much force Chen Fei actually used.
Some experts at the peak of the Immortal Realm subtly shifted their gazes, discerning a different flavor.
While a fourteenth-tier top-grade array is indeed powerful, without the guidance and precise control of a strong person, its operation will become rigid and sluggish, and the flaws between the rule nodes and the flow of energy will be magnified, like a body without a soul.
It wasn't that Xing Feng was unwilling to focus on controlling the Night Demon Array; rather, he simply couldn't do it at the moment.
Simultaneously maintaining the summoning and existence of the illusory image of the Destroyer, harnessing the immense power of the remnant soul at the limit of the Immortal Realm, controlling clones to fight in coordination, and unleashing all the void secrets within the body...
Xing Feng's mind was already stretched to its limit, so he had no energy left to precisely control the Night Demon Array.
A "death formation" without mental guidance, no matter how high its grade, is often so vulnerable.
Xing Feng's crimson demonic eyes stared intently at the scattered fragments of the Night Demon Array, his pupils suddenly shrinking to the size of pinpoints.
Xing Feng instantly realized that trying to set up a defensive formation would be futile and would only waste his precious magical energy and mental focus.
"die!"
Xing Feng let out a violent roar and stopped probing.
"Boom!"
The boundless sea of blood beneath his feet instantly boiled and roared, engulfing Xing Feng's main body, clone, and the illusory image of the Destruction Venerable, tearing through the void and appearing in front of Chen Fei in an instant.
Xing Feng's main body and clone, with their scarlet Guixu Blood Eyes locked onto Chen Fei's vital points, and the Blood Prison Demon Blade in their hands, wrapped in black light that devoured everything, with its terrifying sharpness that severed cause and effect and annihilated karma, slashed down on Chen Fei's neck and abdomen from the left and right, like two poisonous dragons that chose to devour people.
Wherever the blades passed, space silently vanished, leaving behind trails of dark destruction. In the world, it seemed that only these two terrifying demonic blades, crisscrossing and poised to sever everything, remained!
at the same time!
"Buzz!"
The illusory figure of the Destruction Venerable, hovering behind Xing Feng, slowly raised its palm.
The palm print seemed to reflect the apocalyptic scene of stars collapsing and the world falling, with an indescribable terrifying meaning that seemed to condense the universe upside down and yin and yang in chaos.
The illusory figure of the Destroyer looked at Chen Fei and gently pressed down with a palm.
In an instant, the surrounding space, time, and even the directions of up, down, left, right, front, and back that one perceives become strangely distorted, reversed, and disordered!
It was as if I were in a kaleidoscope being wildly stirred up by an invisible giant hand. The sky was no longer the sky, the earth was no longer the earth, the rules were lamenting, and the order was collapsing.
